Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 249 Extreme Koi
Sato Takuma stared blankly at the leisurely swimming koi, and when he opened his mouth, a string of Japanese came out in a "squeaky" voice.This guy was so excited that he forgot where he was and subconsciously spoke his mother tongue.

Zhao Lei's English level is good, and he has no problem with daily conversations, but he doesn't know anything about Japanese, so he couldn't help frowning and looked at Lu Shuo.

The latter was taken aback, and quickly said to Zhao Lei: "Mr. Sato just said that he has never seen such a fine koi."

These words made Zhao Lei feel confident, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Sato also likes koi?"

Afterwards, Takuma Sato came back to his senses, smiled slightly at Zhao Lei and said, "It's just a hobby, but I don't know much about it."

But even though he said so, Sato Takuma had already set off a turbulent wave in his heart.He is not an ordinary koi lover, but the vice chairman of the local koi association, and he is definitely an expert in this field.

In the memory of Takuma Sato, he has never seen such a good koi!These koi in the fish pond are perfect in terms of size, color, and color, and they are even better than the champions of the koi competitions in recent years.

Logically speaking, it is very difficult to see such a good koi, but the few koi in the fish pond are all top quality, which really brought a huge shock to Sato Takuma.

What surprised the Japanese even more was that these top-quality koi were raised casually in the outdoor fish ponds without any special care.
But this also gave Sato Takuma an opportunity. Since Zhao Lei didn't value these koi at all, maybe he could buy them for a small price, wouldn't he make a fortune?

Thinking of this, Takuma Sato was secretly happy, and quickly said to Zhao Lei with a smile, "I didn't expect that Mr. Zhao also likes koi. There is another common topic between us, haha!"

In fact, in Zhao Lei's eyes, the only criterion for judging the quality of fish is the taste. He smiled slightly at Sato Takuma and said: "Actually, these koi were given by a friend of mine, and I just put them here to raise them. It’s not troublesome to feed some fish feed.”

Zhao Lei's indifferent attitude made Sato's heart beat faster, and he quickly nodded and said, "So that's the case. In fact, I really like koi. Since Mr. Zhao is not interested in them, why don't you give them to me?"

Although Sato Takuma looked calm on the surface, he was actually very nervous.He fixed his eyes on Zhao Lei, hoping that the other party would say "yes".

"Okay!" Zhao Lei did not disappoint Sato Takuma, and really nodded in agreement.

But before Sato was happy, Zhao Lei continued with a smile: "But the price... we have to discuss it!"

Sato Takuma was almost suffocated by Zhao Lei's last words.It is said that Chinese people are warm and hospitable, why is this young man different?He has already talked about this point, and he doesn't even give two meanings, but he still has to negotiate the price, it's too much!

Takuma Sato was not willing to let go of such a good opportunity, so he forced a smile and said: "Of course, I am too embarrassed to ask for your things for nothing, haha! I just don't know how much Mr. Zhao plans to sell it for?"

Zhao Lei is an outsider in this area, so of course he would not make an offer first, he just smiled lightly and said, "It's better for you to set a price yourself, and if it's suitable, we'll make a deal."

"Is that so..." Sato pondered for a moment, then stretched out two fingers and said, "For the sake of our friendship at first sight, I am willing to pay 2 yuan!"

Speaking of this, Sato Takuma felt that he was still at a disadvantage, and quickly added: "Five koi, a total of [-]!"

Zhao Lei couldn't help laughing when Sato thought about asking this price.However, just when the Japanese thought that Zhao Lei would agree, he suddenly put away his smile and said, "Not for sale!"

In fact, when Zhao Lei bought these five koi, he only spent a total of 100 yuan.After raising it for half a year, it can be sold for 2 yuan, which can already be called a huge profit.

However, Zhao Lei clearly remembered that the owner of the flower and bird market once said that the most expensive koi sold for 500 million yen.

These koi have been raised in the gourd space for several months, and they are almost the same even if they are not the best.Sato Takuma actually wanted to buy five koi for a mere [-] yuan, which is simply whimsical!

Seeing that Zhao Lei rejected his offer, Takuma Sato became a little anxious, and quickly said to him, "Then I'll add some more, fifty thousand, how about fifty thousand?"

However, Zhao Lei still shook his head with a sneer, so Takumi Sato gritted his teeth and said, "I'll pay 20 RMB! Each koi is 4 RMB. Is it okay now?"

Lu Shuo next to him was stunned. He never imagined that a fish could be worth so much money, which was equivalent to his salary of more than two months.

However, Sato thought that the more straightforward the price increase, the more he convinced Zhao Lei that this little Japan was dishonest and that his koi would definitely sell at a higher price.

So even though Takuma Sato was willing to pay 20 yuan, Zhao Lei still shook his head lightly and said, "Mr. Sato, it seems that you don't really want to make this deal, so... I think it's better to forget it."

Zhao Lei's words made Sato Takuma feel "thumping" in his heart, but he really didn't want to give up such a good opportunity, so he quickly said to Zhao Lei with a smile, "Then you make a price, as long as the price is right, I will pay immediately."

Zhao Lei pondered for a moment, then extended a hand to Takuma Sato and said, "30, one piece!"

"This..." Sato Takuma gasped, and couldn't help hesitating.

In all fairness, Zhao Lei's price is indeed not expensive, but the profit margin left for Sato to figure out is also very small.Moreover, although Sato Takumo is the section manager of Wada Co., Ltd., his salary is naturally quite high, but it is quite difficult for him to come up with 150 million RMB all at once.

Seeing that Sato Takumo was hesitant, Zhao Lei smiled slightly and said, "You can think about it slowly, I'm not in a hurry, now I'll take you to see the eels we raise."

Sato Takuma really needed time to think about it, so he looked at those koi reluctantly, and left with Zhao Lei helplessly.

Zhao Lei took Sato Takuma to look around the fish pond where eel fry were raised, and told him with a smile: "When these eel fry grow up, I can provide some to your company."

"Thank you so much!" Sato Takuma thanked Zhao Lei, and then repeated the same old tune unwillingly: "As for the issue of our company's purchase of fairy gourd vegetables, I still hope that Mr. Zhao can reconsider, even if he gives us a small amount of supply first, and then we will continue to pay for it in the future." It’s okay to increase the supply gradually!”
