In front of the courtyard, there were five storefronts, which weren't particularly large for him. However, the spacious yard behind, spanning several hundred square meters, had caught his eye for quite some time. If Yun Wan'er could help him secure Old Zhang's yard and find a construction team to build a small workshop of about a hundred square meters in the back, he could upgrade his Fishing Box and finally relax!
However, acquiring Old Zhang's yard would definitely require more than two million. Fortunately, since the yard was located in Anhe Town, it wasn't outrageously priced. If he could persuade Yun Wan'er, there was still hope!
It was quite unfortunate for Old Zhang to have someone plotting to take over his entire yard after renting it out. After cursing Shi Tianyi under his breath, Yun Wan'er extended her hand with a smirk and said, "First, you need to hand over the two million as a deposit! I'll discuss this with Lao Shi later to see if it's feasible!"
Yun Wan'er asking for money made Shi Tian chuckle; this deal seemed promising! He handed over his bank card to Yun Wan'er, which contained over a million. The remaining funds were in the store's corporate account—money sponsored by the Air Force and his father, as well as payments for Old Wen and Old Liu's customized rods. He just needed Yun Wan'er to help manage that; she was experienced in such matters!
With everything settled, Shi Tian planned to make a quick exit. If he didn't leave now and Yun Wan'er changed her mind, his two million would be wasted!
"I need to head to the store first; our friends from this trip are gathering soon, and they want to buy a few rods!" He wiped his mouth and stood up to leave but was stopped by Shi Chui.
"I've taken that off-road vehicle; you'll be driving the electric car from now on! It doesn't use gas, so you won't have to worry about fuel costs!"
During Shi Tian's few days at sea, Shi Chui had been accompanying Yun Wan'er frequently. Just because Yun Wan'er mentioned that this car was more comfortable than the traveling car, Shi Tian's ride had been swapped!
As for the traveling car that had taken them thousands of kilometers, it was now parked at the hotel’s parking lot.
Reaching the underground garage, he hopped into the electric car. To his dismay, the battery indicator was already flashing red! It seemed Yun Wan'er had driven it without charging it first!
He plugged in the charger and decided not to drive out just yet. Instead, he headed straight for the hotel’s small pier. It would be much easier to take a small boat there than to drive!
Having just returned from the sea, there were still many tasks ahead. The Mini Air Force was still docked at Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell resort; he needed to deliver the boat to Yacht Dock for maintenance first!
He also planned to check on things at the store; Sun Lang and Su Xueyi's dog food must be running low by now. He needed to review shipments from these past few days and restock whatever was necessary! Plus, he had to check the accounts; otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to afford fuel!
By nightfall, he took Sun Lang along and set off in the small boat towards the resort. He had already learned from Scallion and Ginger that Zhang Junming and Niu Zong wanted to buy Boat Rods. He needed to make some sales tonight; otherwise, living without money would be tough!
"Sun Lang! Tonight when Zhang Junming and Niu Zong ask about Boat Rods, quote them thirty thousand. Sea Fishing line is ten yuan per meter; price the lead hooks accordingly." Handing Sun Lang a cigarette, Shi Tian patted his shoulder.
Shi Tian was also considering whether or not to sell Boat Rods in the store. These items consumed too many points—each rod costing two or three thousand points. However, not many people who came into the store bought fishing gear for sea fishing; aiming for high-end products wasn’t easy!
"Boss! When can I get my rod? I’ll transfer thirty thousand right in front of them for one rod and another five thousand for a set of line! You can keep that money; just help me match it with an Electric Reel later!"
Helping Shi Tian negotiate business was part of an employee's job; there was nothing wrong with that—Sun Lang certainly wouldn’t refuse! However, Sun Lang felt that thirty thousand for just one wheel seemed excessive.
"The wheel can't be mass-produced yet; many rare materials are hard to come by. I’ve only managed to produce one so far while testing its performance! You might want to reconsider!"
"There aren't any big fish around Nan You; a hundred pounds is about as much as you can expect. Just go buy a branded wheel at Dog Dong or directly from a specialty store; that should suffice!"
Sun Lang's cold rejection left Shi Tian truly troubled about the Wheel situation. The Wheel was simply too expensive! While it was indeed of high quality, how could they sell it at such a price? A Wheel for a hundred thousand? Who would buy that? Even for a branded Wheel, one or two thousand would suffice!
He thought to himself, "Let's deal with this later! If the Wheel is priced so high, then we simply won't sell Wheels in the future. Why dwell on this issue?" After all, he was an employee of Xing Brand, wasn't he? If it were another brand's Wheel, wouldn't that be embarrassing? A slightly higher price was acceptable; he could sacrifice a bit for the sake of their brand. Upon hearing Shi Tian's refusal, Sun Lang immediately invoked the company's principles!
He had tried other Rods before and felt that the thousand-dollar Rods in the store didn't match his standards. When he first got into this hobby, he had chosen an Iso Rod online and spent several thousand on it, but after just one day, he tossed it aside at home to gather dust!
The difference in Rods was significant, and the disparity in Wheels would surely be even greater! The more Shi Tian hesitated to give him a Wheel, the more it indicated that the Wheel was exceptional! Sure, the price might be high, but good things were never cheap; he accepted that.
"You make a good point!" Shi Tian thought. However, with such high-powered Electric Reel currently in his possession, he couldn't just give it away! He shot Sun Lang an exasperated glance. "Why are you so fixated on a Wheel?"
"Alright then! Just give me the Wheel from your Rod; I'll take it off later! Don't worry, I won't complain!"
After giving Shi Tian a look, he docked the boat at the resort's pier without even tying it up and jumped ashore. Ignoring Shi Tian's complaints behind him, he confidently strode into the resort and found a restroom to call Su Xueyi. He instructed her to remove and hide the Electric Reel from Shi Tian's Rod! Once this Wheel belonged to Sun Lang, they could always deduct it from Shi Tian's salary if needed!
