Chapter 10
Vroom vroom vroom!
On the 2nd Ring Road of Rivertown, Wang Xian was riding his Harley heavy-duty motorcycle . He had a styrofoam box tied around his body as he rode towards the location of the Flowers and Birds Market .
To prevent the incident of yesterday from happening again, he had made the effort to find a solid styrofoam box for today and ensure that the five goldfish and the Arowana were well preserved .
While cruising down the road with his helmet on, there was an indescribable extreme pleasure .
However, Wang Xian didn’t ride too fast and simply maintained a speed of approximately 60 km/hour .
It was indeed more satisfying to ride on a heavy-duty motorcycle that cost over $1 . 5 million than Wang Dahai’s motorcycle .
“Oh poor Dahai . I dumped his motorcycle near the Flowers and Birds Market yesterday and it’s probably gone by now . However, I’ll let you ride my Harley when school reopens . ”
Wang Xian thought to himself . He could already imagine the exhilarated expression on Wang Dahai when he saw his Harley .
The speed of the heavy-duty motorcycle was much faster than taking a taxi . After approximately ten minutes, Wang Xian had reached the entrance to the Flowers and Birds Market .
Under the shocked looks of the security personnel, Wang Xian parked his Harley in the carpark before carrying the styrofoam box and walking into the market .
“The number of people today is substantially less than yesterday . ”
Wang Xian looked at the people in the Flowers and Birds Market and saw the directional signboard prompting where the goldfish fair would be held . He immediately headed towards it .
The goldfish fair was to be held in the center of the Flowers and Birds Market . After entering the place, Wang Xian noticed that there were several hundreds of people around .
At that place, there were some advertisement signboards that gave introductions about the various goldfish farms and the goldfish on display .
Wang Xian walked further in and saw a row of fishbowls placed neatly on the table . Within the fishbowls, there were all kinds of goldfish that were extremely beautiful .
At the center of the table, there were two larger size fishbowls . Within these fishbowls, there were only 2-3 goldfish .
Wang Xian saw that there were 2 Redcap Brown Oranda in them . He looked towards the price tag at the side which showed $430k .
“Calm down . Seems like I made a huge loss yesterday . ”
Wang Xian was clearly displeased after seeing the price . He looked around him and saw goldfish that ranged from $40k-$50k and also some that ranged between $10k-$20k .
He looked around for a while before heading to the service counter of the organizer .
At this moment, there were four, five people sitting in front of the reception . Among them, there were some middle-aged and old men and also a young beautiful attendant .
“Hey, pretty, I would like to ask…what should I do if I wish to display my goldfish for sale in this place?” Wang Xian asked the service attendant .
“Huh? What? You would like to display and sell your goldfish?” The service attendant looked at him with a little disbelief and noticed that he was carrying a styrofoam box in his arms .
“Yes . ” Wang Xian nodded his head .
“If you would like to display your goldfish for the goldfish fair to sell them, you would need to provide the fish farm quality certification as proof . All the participating fish farms for our fair are successful goldfish breeding farms . Secondly, you need to have valuable goldfish . If you can meet the criteria, we would be happy to arrange a spot for you . However, we would be collecting some commission if you complete any transaction . ” The beautiful service attendant smiled at him and replied .
Wang Xian frowned slightly upon hearing her explanation . “I can provide great goldfish . However, with regard to the fish farm quality certification…”
“Unqualified goldfish breeding farms are not accepted in our goldfish fair . ”
Before Wang Xian could complete his sentence, a middle-aged man, who was lying on a chair, rejected him directly .
“I’m sorry about that . ” The service attendant smiled apologetically after hearing what the middle-aged man had said .
Wang Xian frowned slightly, nodded his head and headed out .
“A young man carrying a styrofoam box here to ask for an exhibition spot… This is clearly the boss of a small goldfish shop wishing to attract some attention to sell his goldfish . You don’t have to pay attention to people like him . ”
“Alright, Director Zhao . ”
Wang Xian vaguely heard the voice as he left the place . All he could do was to shake his head silently .
“Forget it . Since Redcap Brown Oranda is so famous, I don’t necessarily have to rely on your fair to sell them . ”
Wang Xian carried the large styrofoam box and headed out . He stopped at the entrance and looked around him .
“Should I just set up a stand here to sell?”
Wang Xian thought about it . The human traffic flow of this place was great since anyone who wished to enter the fair would have to pass by this place .
Moreover, he was just going to place a box right here . He wouldn’t be obstructing anyone .
Wang Xian smiled and placed the box down by the road . After which, he opened up the cover of the box .
One blood-red colored Arowana and five Redcap Brown Oranda were revealed in the box .
Six fish in one box was a little cramped but they were very lively and swam constantly .
Through modification using Dragon Energy, their vitality was much stronger than ordinary fish .
Wang Xian squatted at that spot while looking at the pedestrians who were walking around .
“Hmm?”
Perhaps it was because Wang Xian looked a little rustic with a large styrofoam box beside him and the fact that the pedestrian couldn’t see the Arowana and goldfish within it, there wasn’t any pedestrian who walked over .
“Cough cough . ”
Wang Xian coughed out loud and shouted towards the pedestrian, “Top grade Arowana and goldfish for sale . Come and take a look . ”
Some pedestrians were a little curious when they saw a teenager setting up a store by the roads . After seeing the huge styrofoam box beside him, they couldn’t help but feel a little suspicious .
“Let’s go and take a look at what kind of goldfish he has . ”
At this moment, a beautiful lady, who had her hands around a young man, looked over with curiosity as she said to the young man .
“What’s there to see here? There couldn’t possibly be any good goldfish here . Let’s head over to the fish fair to buy . ” The young man replied impatiently .
“Let’s just go and take a look . ” That beautiful girl said and pulled the arm of the young man flirtatiously .
“What a drag . What kind of good goldfish could a roadside stall have in an ugly styrofoam box?” The young man remarked impatiently and had reluctance written all over his face as he walked over .
“Wow, so beautiful . Is this an Arowana? And these goldfish are simply too beautiful!” exclaimed that beautiful girl as she squatted down with exhilaration .
“No need to make such a fuss,” said the man without squatting down, nor did he care to shoot a look at inside the box . “All the goldfish at the fair will be beautiful and of valuable breeds . Ok, now, let’s go . It’s not graceful squatting on the street . ”
“But I feel that the goldfish here are so beautiful!” The beautiful girl was clearly not an expert in this field . She continued, “And this Arowana is truly too beautiful . I really like it! I want to buy it, I want to buy it!”
“If you like them, just buy them . ” The young man took out his wallet directly and acted generously as he said, “Hey kid, how much do the fish in your styrofoam box cost? I’ll take them all . ”
Wang Xian lifted his head and was a little shocked after seeing the wallet of that young man . There were approximately a few thousand dollars in it .
This made him feel speechless .
“What? Say something, man . How much do they cost in total?” The young man looked at Wang Xian and remarked impatiently .
“This…” Wang Xian looked at him and replied, “If you have five million dollars on your card, we could go to a bank and do a transfer . ”
Wang Xian’s words shocked the young man . He frowned, stared at Wang Xian angrily and said, “Hey kid, what kind of nonsense are you sputtering? I’m asking you how much the fish in this broken styrofoam box cost . ”
“I’m not sputtering nonsense . I’m just speaking the truth . ”
Wang Xian revealed a smile when he noticed his conversation with the young man drew some curious customers over .
