"Buying directly from him?" Qin Cang asked, astonished.
Qin Hao nodded. "That's right! Ye Feng's Sea God Company didn't make any profit this month. If he doesn't sell now, he'll go bankrupt! If we go to him now, he'll be very happy to sell to us!"
After speaking, he directly picked up the phone and called Ye Feng.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng was lounging on the beach on Rocky Island, sunbathing and enjoying afternoon tea. He was incredibly comfortable.
Just then, his phone rang.
Ye Feng picked it up and smiled, "Heh, finally can't sit still anymore?"
Answering the call, Ye Feng pretended not to know who it was and said, "Hello, who is this? Is there something I can help you with?"
A familiar voice immediately came from the other end of the line, "Ye Feng, do you remember me?"
"Heh, isn't this the voice of our Qin Hao, Young Master Qin? Did the sun rise in the west? You're actually calling me?" Ye Feng said, feigning surprise.
Qin Hao chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Listening to your sarcastic tone, you must be in a real bind right now!"
Ye Feng asked, "In a bind? What do you mean?"
"Heh! Stop pretending! I heard that almost everyone you cooperated with has terminated their contracts, and no one wants your fish. You must be panicking, right!" Qin Hao said confidently.
Ye Feng, after a brief moment of thought, understood the scheme Qin Hao had in mind.
A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes as he said, "That's right, I'm panicking now! Absolutely panicking! But what business is it of yours!"
"Heh! You're wrong about that! We've had our disputes, but as they say, we get to know each other through conflict! I plan to help you out! How about I buy all your fish?" Qin Hao said magnanimously.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng snorted, "Hmph, you're that kind-hearted?"
Qin Hao immediately explained, "Hey, thinking like that is judging a gentleman with a villain's heart!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Ye Feng retorted.
Qin Hao continued, "Although we have some grievances, as the saying goes, we get to know each other through conflict! And in the face of true interests, there are no absolute enemies or friends, don't you agree!"
Ye Feng feigned surprise and moved, saying, "You, you're serious?"
"Of course, I'm serious! I need your fish. Sell me your catch. I'll buy it at the original price of fifty, how about that?" Qin Hao said generously.
Ye Feng pretended to be extremely touched and said, "Really? You, you're too kind! Thank you so much!"
"Haha, it's only right! After all, we've known each other for so many years, we should help each other, right?" Qin Hao said with a smile.
Anyone who didn't know about their past grievances would have thought Qin Hao genuinely wanted to help Ye Feng.
But in reality, their relationship was such that they wished they could kill each other immediately.
Ye Feng nodded and said, "Fine, if you want it, I'll sell it all to you together. I'm quitting!"
"Quitting? And selling it all to me?" Qin Hao was stunned for a few seconds upon hearing this and then said excitedly.
Ye Feng nodded. "That's right! Competition among peers is too fierce now. Last month, many people came to request refunds and returns. I've decided to quit!"
Qin Hao became even more excited. "Good, good, good! How many tons of catch do you have left? I'll take it all!"
"Not much left! Just a few hundred tons! If you want it, I'll transport it all over to sell to you!" Ye Feng said, feigning sadness.
Qin Hao became even more excited upon hearing the quantity.
He said, "Good, good, good, I'll take it all! Don't lie to me!"
"Don't worry! I won't lie to you! But I'll say this first, once you buy these fish, you can't return them!" Ye Feng said with a smile.
Qin Hao nodded. "No returns, I guarantee no returns. If you don't believe me, we can sign a contract!"
"Alright! Then tomorrow!" Ye Feng said happily.
Qin Hao nodded. "Okay, it's a deal!"
After hanging up the phone, Ye Feng sneered, "You dare to scheme against me behind my back, let's see how I'll trick you..."
The next day, Qin Hao indeed went to Ye Feng to sign a contract for the sale of three hundred tons of fish.
After Ye Feng returned, he immediately asked Captain Zhou to hire people to catch three hundred tons of ordinary fish near the waters of Rocky Island and deliver them to Qin Hao.
The quality of these fish was far inferior to the standards Ye Feng had previously sold.
However, they were still much better quality than fish from other places, as they were from wild waters, not farmed.
It was just that they hadn't absorbed enough Sea God Power, so their flesh and efficacy were not as good.
These sea fish normally cost around ten yuan per jin. Ye Feng sold them to Qin Hao for fifty yuan per jin, which was one hundred yuan per kilogram.
One thousand kilograms is one ton. Three hundred tons calculated to thirty million yuan. After deducting various expenses, Ye Feng made a net profit of over twenty million yuan, which was incredibly satisfying.
Qin Hao, at this time, was still unaware that he had been tricked by Ye Feng. He was immersed in the excitement of buying the catch and crushing Ye Feng.
With three hundred tons, he could mix it with his own fish and exchange it for one thousand tons.
At this rate, he could make a net profit of tens of millions, making him extremely happy.
After he took the fish back, he immediately announced that his Yongchang Fishery was about to sell one thousand tons of high-quality sea fish.
Instantly, everyone rushed to buy his fish in large quantities, which made Qin Hao's company instantly popular.
This allowed Qin Hao and his father to make a fortune and become extremely excited.
One day, Xiao Feifei, Chen Xiaoyue, and others called Ye Feng one after another, informing him about the booming business of the Qin family's Yongchang Fishery.
Upon hearing this news, Ye Feng immediately laughed and even began to worry for him.
If Qin Hao had simply resold the fish Ye Feng sold him, others wouldn't have noticed anything amiss.
But this guy mixed his own fish in as well. Three hundred tons were exchanged for one thousand tons. It was bound to cause problems when sold.
Previously, the fish mixed in by Qin Hao and his father met Ye Feng's sales standards. Even if some didn't meet the mark, people couldn't say much.
But this time, he mixed in fish that were barely better than ordinary sea fish, and Qin Hao exchanged three hundred tons for one thousand tons.
In other words, out of one thousand tons of fish, not a single one met the standard. How could there not be problems?
As expected, not long after, many vendors who bought fish from Yongchang Fishery discovered that the quality of the fish was not right.
Before, when they sold these fish, they were snapped up immediately.
But now, after tasting some of the fish they bought, they stopped buying altogether.
Some even directly demanded refunds, which left these distributors and vendors bewildered.
After comparing those fish with the ones they had previously bought from Ye Feng, they were furious.
The fish sold by Qin Hao, regardless of individual size, vitality, taste, or efficacy, were far inferior to those bought from Ye Feng's Sea God Company.
Instantly, numerous vendors demanded refunds and returns, and some even demanded triple compensation for fake goods.
However, at this moment, Qin Hao and his father were still unaware of these matters within the Qin family company.
They were both excitedly celebrating their substantial earnings.
"Hahaha! Ye Feng is truly an idiot! We just used a little trick, and he's been ruined by us!" Qin Hao laughed heartily.
Qin Cang said even more happily, "Haha! Not only did we ruin Ye Feng, but we also made ourselves, it's truly killing two birds with one stone!"
However, just as they were reveling in their joy, an employee suddenly ran up and shouted, "Chairman, something's wrong, something's terribly wrong..."
