There is a dragon in my fish pond

425 Game Day

The hall was a little bigger than a palm. Li Yafan and Chen Guodong went around twice, and then met Guo Da again, and not only that, they also met Ye Houxiong and his daughter.

Guo Da just came here to join in the fun, Ye Houxiong came here for the competition, according to Ye Zhenzhen's explanation, in his spare time, his father likes to collect strange rocks and strange birds.

In addition to the aquarium arowana that Li Yafan saw, Ye Houxiong actually has a few more valuable arowanas in his collection. For example, the one that Ye Houxiong is holding now has a golden back with a golden body. They are all very dazzling, compared with the fish in Li Yafan's hand.

The little silver dragon in Li Yafan's hand is almost nothing compared to it. It is said that an expert once appraised the price of the big gold-backed dragon fish in Ye Houxiong's hand. The initial price was about 80.

80 yuan for a fish, no matter how you say it is considered a sky-high price, no matter how you look at it, Ye Houxiong is making a steady profit this time.

Chen Guodong got angry, and complained to Li Yafan in a low voice: "He came here with that big golden back, but we came here with that arowana that is not an arowana, and a saury is not a saury, you say that is ridiculous Well?"

"Old Chen, keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense."

It's not that Li Yafan really isn't angry, it's just that he really can't afford to offend someone like Ye Houxiong.

"Everyone, please be quiet, everyone, please be quiet!"

A gentle female voice yelled a few words on the loudspeaker, and the people at the scene finally fell silent.

"Next, let's invite the three judges from the Nanshan City Dragon King Competition to appear on stage."

Following a burst of applause, the three middle-aged men in suits slowly walked to the top of the stage, all of them looking very airy.

"Uncle Ye, where are these people coming from?"

Li Yafan has not been in this industry for a long time, so there are naturally some people he doesn't know very well.

Ye Houxiong is different. Since he made his fortune, he has participated in countless Dragon King Contests. He pointed to the man in the middle to introduce to Li Yafan.

That person is Xie Xu, a paleontologist, and later turned to help others appreciate dragon fish. He once appreciated a dragon fish worth more than 120 million US dollars in Malaysia.

"I'll go, 120 million, or US dollars?"

Chen Guodong was not calm anymore.

"That's right, the arowana business is all about profiteering. How many people take advantage of all their belongings and rely on this salted fish to make a fortune."

The one on the left is called Zhao Sunli, which sounds strange at first glance, but he is actually an expert in arowana appreciation. He is Xie Xu's student and a scholar specializing in paleontology.

The one on the right is Xue Jiakui, who is also a dragon fish scholar. Compared with Zhao Sunli and Xie Xu, this Xue Jiakui is obviously much more professional, but in terms of qualifications, he is not as good as the previous Zhao Sunli and Xie Xushen.

Just as Ye Houxiong was introducing, a platform rose from the lifting platform in the center of the stage, and a female supporter in evening dress stood on the platform.

"Now I announce that the quadrennial "Dragon King Competition in Nanshan City" will now officially start. I invite four contestants, 99, 98, 97, and [-], to prepare to go on stage and accept expert appraisal."

"I'll go, it's still backwards."

Li Yafan originally thought that he was No. 20, which was quite ahead, but now it seemed that he was happy for nothing. The four contestants put their fish tanks on the table opposite the judges.

The three judges left their seats to check the four fish in the fish tank, and the camera followed the perspective of the three judges to the fish tank.

First of all, the [-]-size arowana. The camera projected all the scenes in the fish tank on the big screen from the perspective of the judges, making it very clear for people to see.

No. [-], this dragon is a purebred golden dragon fish. In terms of color, appearance, and rarity, it is basically the best dragon fish.

In the end, I gave an offer of 50 yuan. Seeing the number 99 contestant, he looked happy, and obviously made a lot of money. In contrast, the quality of the dragon fishes from 97 to [-] was not as good as that of the [-]th contestant. up.

Everyone was thinking about it, obviously losing a lot of money. Li Yafan looked at the big screen. To be honest, the more Li Yafan looked at it, the less confident he was now.

Even the worst-colored arowana made Li Yafan feel that it was much better than the fish in his hands. Li Yafan was afraid of being ashamed, so he had already retreated.

As the progress accelerated, many people Li Yafan was familiar with stepped onto the stage, including Ma Tengkong and Chen Yunlong.

Divide these 100 people into groups of four, making a total of 25 groups. It looks like this, but it is actually much faster. At this moment, I have already referred to it. If I feel that the dragon fish in my hand cannot be taken out, there is basically no need to take it out. Yes, just leave.

After thinking about it again and again, Li Yafan still pondered, since everyone has come, let's try it out, if it succeeds, if it doesn't, it will fail.

"Mr. Li Yafan on the 25th, please come on stage immediately, Mr. Li Yafan on the 25th, please come on stage immediately."

"Old Li, what are you thinking about, hurry up."

Chen Guodong couldn't help but beat Li Yafan twice.

At this moment, those who should retire have already retired. Before Li Yafan, there were only two groups of people left, one group was Ye Houxiong, and the other group was a man named Lin Jun.

"Hey, that's the one who came to compete with a saury."

"Yes, yes, I remember it clearly, it is the 25th."

"It's called a little prostitute, no, it's called Xiao Yinlong, the king of dragon fish."

"What kind of dragon fish king, I think it is a stinky saury, I think this will be the worst loser in this year's Dragon King Contest."

Hearing the gossip of the spectators in the audience, Li Yafan's heart was extremely heavy.

"Is it right or wrong for me to come here? If this is really a saury, then although I have no financial loss this time, I will basically lose my reputation. This fate is certain."

"There are only a few people left. Let's take them together and do the final competition. The one with the highest valuation is today's Dragon Fish King."

said the hostess.

Chen Yunlong, Ye Houxiong, Ma Tengkong, Lin Jun, plus Li Yafan, a total of five large fish tanks were put up, and the judges of the other four had basically seen the same.

So this time, Xie Xu went straight to Li Yafan's fish.There were tense heartbeats and even breathing sounds of dozens of people around the stage, which were extremely clear in the quiet and treacherous atmosphere.

They were not nervous about Li Yafan, but they were worried that every year in the Dragon King Contest there would be the worst losers, and who would get the worst losers this year.
