Chapter 24: The decision of County Magistrate Liu

Guo Sihua looked at Xiao Peng’s face change, smiled, and said,
Brother Xiao knows something. We Hong Kong people like abalone and shark fin, especially abalone. Good abalone is always in short supply on Hong Kong Island. Good abalone is always in short supply. Just like gold antiques, they are also collectibles. Some time ago, a batch of brother Xiao’s abalones flowed into Hong Kong Island and caused a sensation in the high-end market on Hong Kong Island. Unfortunately, the quantity is too scarce, like a short-lived. Now on Hong Kong Island, Mr. Xiao’s abalone , Can be regarded as a legend in the abalone world, no matter the treats or gifts, it is the most rare gem."
Xiao Peng then suddenly realized. No wonder these Hong Kong businessmen are anxious to buy their own abalone, they are for their own contacts. Their own social circle needs to be maintained. And listening to them, your abalone has become the best'stepping stone'?
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "I don't know how many abalones you need?"
Guo Sihua asked, "I don't know how much Mr. Xiao's annual output can reach?"
Xiao Peng thought about it briefly: "Considering continuous development and quality assurance, I will produce up to 1,000 adult abalones this year. But I am afraid that this number will not be reached in the future. Enteromorpha disasters are severe this year and the seedling mortality rate is too high."
"How much?" Everyone was stunned.
A thousand head, less? In fact, there are quite a few. There are 1,000 two-headed abalones, I am afraid that no one except Xiao Peng can get them out. But how many are these? Guo Sihua can guarantee that on Hong Kong Island, these abalones may not be sold in one day.
Now it is the turn of a few Hong Kong businessmen to begin to struggle. Just a little bit of abalone is really not enough for a few people.
What makes several Hong Kong businessmen more entangled is Xiao Peng's words behind: "Moreover, as a businessman, of course I have to consider maximizing income, so what I think is that the higher the price gets."
As soon as Xiao Peng's voice fell, a Hong Kong businessman shouted: "Sixty thousand abalones, I have packed all these abalones."
"I'm out of sixty-five thousand!"
"I pay 70,000!"
"I pay one hundred thousand!"
Several Hong Kong businessmen bid, and the image of being polite just now disappeared instantly.
Guo Sihua remained silent. At this moment, he suddenly smiled at Xiao Peng and interrupted everyone's words: "Mr. Xiao, I have another idea. Our Longsheng Group is also engaged in the auction business on Hong Kong Island. Why don't you give me these abalones? , Our auction house is responsible for auctioning you, regardless of the final transaction price, we only charge 5% commission."
"Huh? Abalone can also be auctioned?" Xiao Peng was a little surprised after hearing this.
"Of course, on Hong Kong Island, there are several special seafood auctions every year. Sometimes, for example, some fishermen catch some of the best seafood, they will contact the auction house to auction as soon as possible in order to maximize their profits."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng raised his brows, this method is feasible! Xiao Peng looked at Guo Sihua and motioned him to continue.
Guo Sihua had the final say, and said, "We divide a thousand abalones into several groups and start the auction. We divide them into groups of one hundred, fifty-one, and one group of ten. The best abalone will be selected for auction. I think, The quality of Mr. Xiao’s abalone and its popularity on Hong Kong Island can definitely be sold at high prices."
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "When will the auction be available? I really need money now!" He has decided the fastest time for Qianliyan. After all, Zhujie Island is still too small, and it can't be developed on a large scale. .
Guo Sihua replied: "Abalones are not like antiques. They need a lot of publicity. Considering the popularity of Mr. Xiao’s abalones on Hong Kong Island, the publicity will not take long. But at least half a month is needed for us to publicize. At a high price."
Xiao Peng thought that the time was right, and the dried abalone was processed just in time.
So he directly negotiated an agreement with Guo Sihua verbally, made an appointment, and signed the auction contract another day.
Now I am short of money, how can I maximize the benefits?
County Mayor Liu watched Xiao Peng negotiating with Hong Kong businessmen the whole time, his face was calm, but his heart was shocked.
With just a thousand abalones, the transaction price may be hundreds of millions! If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, County Mayor Liu would never believe it was true!
To be honest, when County Mayor Liu came, he didn't take Xiao Peng seriously. In his eyes, Xiao Peng is at best a farmer who knows some skills. But after seeing it with my own eyes, I realized that things were not what I imagined.
Xiao Peng used the auction procedure to sell abalone, so he paid the auction tax. Judging from the current popularity of Xiao Peng’s abalone, even if taxes and commissions are deducted, Xiao Peng’s income is definitely above tens of millions. But the money was auctioned on Hong Kong Island, and the tax was paid on Hong Kong Island.
But if the income were sold directly, how much tax would it add to the county? In China, the value-added tax of aquaculture industry has been halved, but even then, the tax revenue brought by these thousand abalones will far exceed the total annual tax revenue of a medium-sized enterprise! What's more, this is only a thousand abalones. What if the production increases? And this is only this year. What if the output is maintained or the output continues to increase in the future? With this in mind, County Magistrate Liu decided that he must establish a good relationship with Xiao Peng and let Xiao Peng stay in the county for further development.
County Mayor Liu picked up the teacup and smiled at Xiao Peng: "I didn't expect that I could witness the birth of a billionaire. Xiao Peng, let me use tea instead of wine, which is a celebration for you."
Xiao Peng laughed after hearing this: "It's not necessarily true. Only when the auction results come down can we know how much we earn."
County Magistrate Liu patted Xiao Peng on the shoulder, and got closer to him and said, "Brother Xiao is really humble. Even if you sell the abalone here, your income can reach hundreds of millions. Brother Xiao is ambitious and wants to Earn more. And looking at the current situation, that is a breeze."
Xiao Peng smiled slightly without comment. But I was complaining in my heart: "Fuck, you call my father Brother Xiao, and you call me Brother Xiao, do you mean that my father and I are called brothers and sisters?"
County Mayor Liu took a sip of tea and asked, "I don't know what Xiao Xiao has plans for the future?" This is the point that County Mayor Liu attaches the most importance to, and he must not give up a big taxpayer so easily.
I didn’t know Xiao Peng’s answer, but County Magistrate Liu was surprised: "Me? I plan to take my parents around the world."
"Huh?" County Magistrate Liu did not understand Xiao Peng's answer: "Brother Xiao, your abalone brand has just been launched. Why don't you continue to invest in production while the iron is hot?"
Hearing the question from County Mayor Liu, Xiao Peng smiled brightly: "Major Zhou, do you think my current situation allows me to continue to expand production? If it were not for my parents’ feelings for the small fishing ground, I would sell it directly. All this, move away from Zhujie Island."
County Mayor Liu is a wise man, and he knew what Xiao Peng meant. I couldn't help but scold Chen Pinggui.
With a smile on his face, he said, "Brother Xiao, I ask you to rest assured that incidents like Chen Pinggui are an exception and cannot represent our entire county. For Chen Pinggui, our county will definitely investigate and deal with it again! I promise you one. Safe investment environment."
After Xiao Peng heard this, he was not happy, but had a bitter expression on his face: "Liu County Magistrate, I also want to say something to you. The life I want to live most is to pick the chrysanthemum and see Nanshan leisurely. I also want to invest in farming and build my hometown in my hometown. But the investment environment here is too chilling for me. I go to the town government to consult the contracting sea area, and I will be bombarded by people as a liar. Now some people come here with my parents’ personal safety Threaten me. County Mayor Liu, if it were you, would you invest in such an environment?"
Xiao Peng's words smashed like a hammer on Zhang Sihao, who had not dared to speak, sitting next to him.
Zhang Sihao, the head of the town's investment promotion section, Xiao Peng once went to the town to consult about the contracting of Qianliyan, but Zhang Sihao said it was a liar.
Before he left, Xiao Peng asked Zhang Sihao to remember himself, and Zhang Sihao didn't care. He didn't expect to see Xiao Peng on such an occasion only a few days later. Don't say remember Xiao Peng, Zhang Sihao knelt down for Xiao Peng a few times.
Therefore, he kept hiding by the side, hoping that Xiao Peng would forget himself. Unexpectedly, Xiao Peng had no intention of letting him go, and pushed himself into the deep water with one sentence. Xiao Peng is just an ordinary person, saying that he has no intention of revenge, that is nonsense.
Sure enough, County Mayor Liu frowned upon hearing Xiao Peng's words: "Is there anything like this?"
"Yes." Xiao Peng's tone was flat: "I went to town to consult about investment matters, but I was bombed out by someone as a liar. Chief Zhang, am I right?"
Zhang Sihao heard Xiao Peng calling himself, his brain buzzed, his face flushed, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and finally forced a smile: "Mr. Xiao, this is a misunderstanding."
"Hehe." Xiao Peng looked at Zhang Sihao, and he didn't smile.
County Mayor Liu saw all this and felt that he was one of the first three big. If the county wants to develop, it must attract capital and generate income. After finally having a potential big taxpayer, he turned his subordinates offended.
It is also a threat to people and an insult to personality. No one can accept this.
County Magistrate Liu now understands what a pig teammate is.
At a time when County Mayor Liu didn't know what to do, Xiao Jianjun and Chen Aifen came out of the kitchen with food. County Mayor Liu's eyes brightened, and there was a way.
Xiao Peng has a bad temper, so start with Xiao Jianjun. Xiao Peng always listens to his own words, right?
At the dinner table, everyone admired Chen Aifen's craftsmanship. Chen Aifen was just an ordinary fisherman, and it was embarrassing to be praised by everyone.
County Magistrate Liu took a chance and said to Xiao Jianjun: "Old Xiao, you are really blessed to have such a capable son. Look at your son and then my son. I really feel like my son is a waste."
When Xiao Jianjun heard Xiao Peng being praised, he was also proud, but said: "Xiao Peng is still young, and he is just a little clever."
County Magistrate Liu laughed and said, "Old Xiao, don't be humble. Xiao Peng also said just now that I will take your couple to travel around the world in a while."
After Xiao Jianjun heard it, he was stunned: "Traveling around the world? How can there be so much money? He just said it."
"Oh, you were busy in the kitchen just now. I don't know yet, your son will soon become a billionaire. Isn't it easy to take you around the world?" County Chief Liu smiled.
"How much did you say?" Chen Aifen was directly startled when he heard the words of County Magistrate Liu. The chopsticks in his hand almost missed it.
Billionaire? Are you kidding me?
