Chapter 40: Buying In? The Shop Targeted Once Again

Du Yu thought back carefully. In recent weeks, Stock X should have been trading at around 10 yuan per share, but in nearly a month, it would skyrocket to 50 yuan per share!

Acting on the thought immediately, Du Yu made a phone call to Ma Yue.

"Hello, Brother Yu?"

Ma Yue answered the phone.

"It's like this, Xiao Yue. Could you help me calculate how much my total share of the profits comes to recently?"

"Let me calculate it, Brother Yu."

A busy tone came from Ma Yue's end of the line.

Du Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. This girl always worked at lightning speed whenever serious business was concerned.

Before long, the phone rang back.

"Brother Yu, according to the profit share, it comes to around 1,000 yuan in total."

"Then please help me deposit it into my card."

"Alright, Brother Yu."

The two hung up the phone.

1,000 yuan plus the 1,000 yuan he still had on hand made 2,000 yuan.

No, that was still far from enough.

Du Yu thought of that bluefin tuna.

But he dismissed the idea almost immediately.

The value that the bluefin tuna could deliver was far beyond this amount, and Du Yu was not ready to sell it just yet.

Du Yu pondered secretly; it seemed he needed to speed up selling this batch of fish.

For several days in a row, Du Yu did not go to the shop. Instead, he went into the sea with Wang Xiaowei to catch fish, and then kept them in his own fishpond to raise them.

The fish in the fishpond had visibly grown a size larger.

Originally, when these fish were scooped up with landing nets, their sizes were already augmented, and now placed into Du Yu's cheat-like fishpond, the effect was magnified even further.

Wang Xiaowei looked at the fish in the pond, which were looking better day by day, tilting his head.

Should he jump in and give it a try himself?

He was pinned in place by a single glare from Du Yu.

Du Yu cast a reproachful glance at the kid; what an utter simpleton.

Four days passed in a blink.

The fish in the pond, weighing dozens of catties each, had turned out to be countless times better than ordinary varieties. Du Yu decided to set off for the shop in the county town.

Du Yu had deliberated for a long time regarding the investment matter and ultimately decided not to include Ma Yue and Han Xinyu for now, as the venture carried significant risks in their eyes.

As for Wang Xiaowei, Du Yu naturally had his share prepared.

The two loaded the marine fish that had been raised in the fishpond for five days onto the truck and sped all the way toward the county town.

Having called Ma Yue in advance to inform her that he would be delivering goods today, Ma Yue was already waiting early at the shop entrance.

Skillfully helping Wang Xiaowei carry the marine fish into the shop, Ma Yue looked at the newly arrived fish in the tanks and was once again stunned by the sight before her.

In fact, every time Du Yu came, he could bring surprises to Ma Yue. Every time Ma Yue thought she had built up enough tolerance, she would end up shocked into a slump in her chair by Du Yu.

Yes, Ma Yue saw small yellow croakers that were twice the size of ordinary ones.

So, just how on earth did Brother Yu pull this off?

Yet, Ma Yue sensibly refrained from asking too much.

After all, this could be considered one of Brother Yu's secrets.

Regardless, being able to provide the shop with a stable source of goods was more than enough for Ma Yue.

After a while, the two poured all the marine fish into the water tanks, and Ma Yue took out a card and handed it to Du Yu.

"Brother Yu, your share of the profits is in here."

Du Yu nodded approvingly.

When this girl handled matters, he felt at ease.

"Oh, both of you are here?"

A crisp voice rang out.

It was Han Xinyu.

"Sister Han."

"President Han."

Du Yu and Ma Yue spoke at the same time.

The three nodded, considering it a greeting.

"Du Yu, you called me over, is there something the matter? Are you having me take in more stock again, hahaha? Sister still has plenty of goods on hand right now, wait a few more weeks."

Han Xinyu said cheerfully.

"No, Sister Han, I wanted to ask you to help introduce me to some restaurants or the like. I have these remaining six tunas, as well as these newly arrived marine fish, and I want to find a big boss to buy them all out. Do you have any recommended candidates on your side?"

Han Xinyu was slightly taken aback. Tunas were understandable, but what kind of marine fish required a big boss to buy them out entirely?

Du Yu naturally saw through Han Xinyu's apprehension, so he walked over to a water tank with a smile and took out a small yellow croaker.

"Sister Han, look at what this is?"

Han Xinyu looked over curiously.

"This is... this is a small yellow croaker? It's so huge?"

Even as worldly-wise as Han Xinyu was, she couldn't help but freeze in place.

Could... a big boss even digest all of this?

Furthermore, Du Yu didn't just have these fish; he also had five top-grade tunas!

Han Xinyu pondered for a moment and said solemnly to Du Yu: "I have an uncle on my side, a friend of my father. He is a very good person, but he is particularly strict. I hope you can manage to negotiate with him."

"This uncle is a very powerful entrepreneur in City A. The hotels under his name are much more impressive than the City Grand Hotel in this small county town. You two can discuss the details when you meet, but I must remind you once more, Du Yu, this uncle is truly a very strict person whose approach to work can be described as harsh. I hope you can successfully secure a partnership with him."

Han Xinyu added another sentence, looking very serious.

Du Yu understood instantly. Han Xinyu meant that while this uncle might buy his batch of goods, he was a tough nut to crack.

No problem, Du Yu was familiar with this kind of challenge. Du Yu, who had managed to win the admiration of Elder Shi back then, was full of confidence now.

Besides, this time, Du Yu had no choice but to go; the upper limit of Stock X's surge was coming up in these few days, and he had to pick up the pace.

Just as the two were talking, a group of elderly men and women rushed into the shop, cursing and shouting.

"Boss? Who is the boss?! Get out here!"

"Come out, come out! The boss of this shop, get out here quickly!"

Several elderly women were clamoring there, somewhat akin to shrewish street brawling.

Du Yu frowned slightly, instantly recovering his composure, wearing a smiling face, and motioning for the other three to stay put. He stood up and walked out.

"Ha-ha, uncles and aunts, I am the boss of this shop. What happened? Let's all talk calmly. If there are any problems, just bring them up, and I will definitely make strict rectifications! I also welcome everyone's criticism where things weren't done well!"

His words were watertight, leaving the three sitting inside the shop dumbfounded.

It really had to be Brother Yu!

The women who had just been shouting felt somewhat embarrassed to make a scene with thick skins after hearing Du Yu speak like that.

Instead, an old woman standing further back hollered: "You're the boss, right? My daughter-in-law bought fish from you, and it died as soon as she brought it back home. When she unwrapped it, the fish was already blackish and discolored. Tell me, how are you going to resolve this? Doesn't your shop only sell fresh, live marine fish? Why are you pulling this kind of stunt on ordinary folks?"

The crowd erupted into an uproar once again.

A chill ran through Du Yu's heart. Was someone coming to pick a fight again?

His gaze inadvertently glanced at two women standing across the street.

Weren't those the eldest sister-in-law and Zhao Qinqin?

Du Yu understood a little bit instantly.
