Butler Jin, take care, the handrail is a bit smooth…
When they disembarked the fishing boat, Boss Du bent over and followed Zhang Tie with flattery and humble smile. He was afraid that Zhang Tie, who was agile, strong and vigorous, would suddenly fall down. Even those crew and the boatman saw Zhang Tie off with extremely respectful looks as if they were welcoming an emperor.
It had been more than 5 hours since they went to the sea to set free spike shrimps. Therefore, it was almost noon.
5 hours ago, Zhang Tie proved that money could also make the mare go in Motian Realm.
5 hours later, Zhang Tie proved that there was one thing which was even more useful than some secret skills of
Soul Forbidden Method
, namely the brand of Tigerback Mountain.
They set free spike shrimps in Whitedragon Gulf. Out of curiosity, Boss Du followed Zhang Tie there too. Before going there, Boss Du still doubted about Zhang Tie’s true purpose as he wondered whether this man in front of him really wanted to throw money into the ocean and hear the ripples. However, after going there, when he caught sight of Zhang Tie’s ID card at his waist and found that Zhang Tie was a butler of Tigerback Mountain; especially the butler of the fishing ground of Tigerback Mountain, everything started to develop dramatically.
Strictly, everyone in Tigerback Town even across Emperor NvWa City knew that Whitedragon Gulf belonged to Tigerback Mountain, also Bian Heng. Whitedragon Gulf was gifted to Bian Heng from Emperor NvWa. Precisely, it was a herbal garden of Bian Heng in the ocean. However, Bian Heng didn’t think highly of the output of sea products in Whitedragon Gulf at all. Therefore, Bian Heng had been tacitly approving the fishers and boatmen from Tigerback Town to fish in Whitedragon Gulf over these years. In fact, all the fishers and boatmen in Whitedragon Gulf were aware of the owner of Whitedragon Gulf.
Of course, the owner of Whitedragon Gulf was that boss in Tigerback Mountain, the one who let Zhang Tie be the butler of the fishing ground close to Tigerback Mountain. Therefore, the one who could speak for Tigerback Mountain and execute the right of the owner in Whitedragon Gulf was actually Zhang Tie.
Neither Bian Heng nor Zhang Tie felt that butler of a fishing ground was an important title or meant any social status. However, in the eyes of those commoners in Tigerback Town who lived on Whitedragon Gulf, this
humble
title was overwhelming. As long as Zhang Tie sent an order, they might lose their reliance and had to look for another job. Zhang Tie could even forbid any fishing boat from entering Whitedragon Gulf.
Bian Heng had been tacitly approving them to earn their living in Whitedragon Gulf over these years. Similarly, as long as Bian Heng changed his idea, the tacit approval could become a ban at any time.
After disembarking the fishing boat and coming back to Du’s Fish Store, Zhang Tie took a seat in the same lobby; however, Boss Du dared not sit anymore; instead, he just slightly bent over with a smile. Standing in front of Zhang Tie, he behaved very obediently.
At this moment, a waiter in the fish store served him a cup of tea and took a look at Boss Du who was standing in front of Zhang Tie out of shock. After taking a look at the cup of tea, Boss Du instantly roared as if his tail was stamped.
Hurry, change this tea. How could Butler Jin drink such a kind of tea. Hurry, bring me the Floatinggold Tea that I collected. Additionally, change a tea set. Hurry, hurry…
The waiter was startled as he quivered once, almost causing the tea water to spray out of the cup. After taking another look at Boss Du’s angry look, he hurriedly ran away.
When he took a look at Boss Du’s smile, Zhang Tie felt goosebumps all over at a stroke.
Ahem, ahem. Don’t publicize the event that I came here today…
I see. I see…
Boss Du bent over as he asked meticulously,
Butler Jin, do you want me to introduce you about the bosses of the other fish stores in this fish market…
No need. You only need to do a good job at my request. Later on, you will be responsible for this job. I want to hear your opinion on setting free spike shrimps…
Zhang Tie said calmly.
From then on, Boss Du would be Zhang Tie’s agent. On the fishing boat, Zhang Tie had casually implied his position in Tigerback Mountain to Boss Du and planted a soul seed in his mind sea. The soul seed didn’t have any side effect; instead, it would only guarantee that Boss Du could do a good job honestly. With the two guarantees, Zhang Tie could absolutely trust Boss Du. He only needed to wait to eat fruits of redemption from the gratitude of spike shrimps.
Don’t worry, Butler Jin, I will definitely do a good job. Actually, since I understood your meaning on the fishing boat just now, I have been pondering about this thing. I’ve got three plans for your reference…
Boss Du said as he started to roll his eyes. Actually, Boss Du didn’t understand why this Butler Jin in Tigerback Mountain would do such a meaningless thing; however, he understood that there were always some things that he couldn’t understand in this world; especially about immortal generals. There were many reasons for setting free spike shrimps. Perhaps, Butler Jin liked spike shrimps; or Bian Heng longed for some effect of the overproduction of spike shrimps in Whitedragon Gulf; or Butler Jin just wanted to have fun. But it was nothing to do with the boss of a small fish store. Butler Jin only needed to do a good job.
Oh, you’ve got three plans? Go ahead…
Zhang Tie asked with strong interest.
The first plan is simple. I will take in here all the powers in this fish market. As long as Butler Jin sends an order to forbid any fishing boat catching spike shrimps in Whitedragon Gulf, I promise that no fishing boat or person would dare go against you. In this way, trade of spike shrimps could be absolutely forbidden in the fish market of Tigerback Town. From then on, spike shrimps would have a much better living condition in Whitedragon Gulf…
Boss Du pondered about Zhang Tie’s meaning as he stealthily glanced at Zhang Tie.
It was almost the subordinates’ instinct to speculate about the meaning of their superiors. Boss Du was not an exception on this occasion. If Zhang Tie just wanted spike shrimps in Whitedragon Gulf to multiply, this plan would be the best. Additionally, Zhang Tie didn’t need to pay anything for that.
After hearing Boss Du’s words, Zhang Tie asked him casually with a blank look,
Many people are living on fishing and the fish market in Tigerback Town. How many people’s living would be influenced if we adopt this plan?
Over 30,000 people in Tigerback Town are living on the ocean. But spike shrimps account a minor proportion among the sea products. Generally, a fishing boat could only catch a couple of spike shrimps. People who especially catch spike shrimps always use shrimp cages or nets which would be sent to the bottom of the ocean. They always use a brass tube to listen to the sound under the water. There’s much expertise about it. All the spike shrimps in my fish store were collected from those fishing boats. There’re only 10-odd fishing boats who live on catching spike shrimps in Tigerback Town. Most of their skills were inherited from their ancestors. If we adopt this plan, only a few people will be influenced. Even if they couldn’t catch spike shrimps anymore, they would also catch something else in the ocean for sale…
Continue!
Zhang Tie said calmly. Boss Du could never think through what Zhang Tie was thinking about at this moment.
Before Boss Du opened his mouth, the waiter had already brought a new tea set as he served two cups of fragrant tea water in front of them. Closely after that, he left there as he dared not even peep at them.
As for the second plan, I will collect all the spike shrimps in the fish market every day and release them into Whitedragon Gulf…
Boss Du hurriedly added,
Even so, Butler Jin doesn’t need to pay anything for it. We’ve been appreciating Bian Heng’s kindness for allowing us to fish in Whitedragon Gulf over these years for free. How dare we take money from Tigerback Mountain for releasing spike shrimps! The expenditure for releasing spike shrimps will be solved by the fish stores in this fish market ourselves…
What about the third plan?
Boss Du became spirited at a stroke as he said,
As for the third plan, we could set free spike shrimps in a wider territory!
Oh, could you be a bit more clear?
To be honest, the wharf and fish market in Tigerback Town nearby Whitedragon Gulf is not large. Only few spike shrimps are traded here. The largest fish market and the wharf are actually outside the city. There’re totally three wharves outside there, where the total trade volume of spike shrimps is dozens of times greater than that in Tigerback Town. Butler Jin, if you agree, we could organize a fleet and professional people to purchase spike shrimps and set free outside the city… But it would cost more money. But if you agree, Du’s Fish Store swear to do a good job for Butler Jin even at the risk of bankruptcy!
Boss Du finally revealed his true purpose and resolution.
Did Tigerback Mountain lack money? Of course not. Many people in Tigerback Town were richer and more capable than Boss Du in Tigerback Town, even though those outsiders were excluded. Those people always wanted to flatter Bian Heng and found an opportunity to serve him; however, they couldn’t. How could Boss Du not seize such a great opportunity? If Boss Du was really capable of doing a job for Tigerback Mountain at the cost of all of its properties, many people would admire about that grossly; because it indicated the start of Du Clan’s prosperity.
Zhang Tie took a look at Boss Du. Unexpectedly, this small boss of fish store was smart. But Boss Du’s last words made Zhang Tie reassured. With such a reliable person as his agent, Zhang Tie only needed to wait for fruits of redemption from the gratitude of spike shrimps…
The three plans are not bad, but I’ve got a better plan…
Zhang Tie said with a faint smile…
