Chapter 158 Yi Zhonghai's Strategy
Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai looked at each other, with some vague guesses in their minds, but they were still not sure.
Yi Zhonghai asked for Jia Dongxu: "What's going on, Third Uncle? What Li Yang? From what you said, could it be that someone in Shichahai is not following the rules when selling fish? Is this considered speculation?"
Yan Bugui felt embarrassed when Yi Zhonghai asked him this. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he lowered his voice and told him in detail what happened in Shichahai this afternoon.
"I just arrived at Shichahai at noon, and before I even sat down, I ran into that kid Li Yang. I didn't think much of it at the time, thinking he was just fishing for some small fish to kill time like us. Who knew that in a short while, he used some method to catch several big fish in one go! And guess what? Those fish were all giants, so big that even I had never seen them before!"
When Yan Bugui said this, his eyes lit up, as if he saw the thrilling scene again.
"I thought he was a fishing expert, so I watched him with an open mind to learn. But who knew that the next scene would shock all of us who were watching!"
"And he was using a special telescopic fishing rod! Can you imagine? An ordinary fishing rod can be stretched like a spring in an instant! And the most outrageous thing is, we all saw it. As we were stunned, he waved his right hand, and the long fishing rod flew to the center of the lake and landed steadily on the lake!"
Yan Bugui couldn't help shaking his head wildly when he said this. His expression was full of disbelief, as if he still couldn't believe what he saw at that time.
"We were all shocked! Even the old hands by the lake were stunned by his actions. But just when we couldn't come to our senses, an even more outrageous scene happened! Li Yang held the slender fishing rod and gently waved it on the lake. Who knew that several huge baits were thrown out and landed steadily on the lake! We thought he was scattering bait, but after waiting for a while, ripples appeared on the lake, as if something big was swimming!"
At this point, Yan Bugui changed the subject, his face suddenly darkened, his tone became angry and he gnashed his teeth: "Just when we were full of doubts, there was a loud 'crack' sound, and the thin pole in Li Yang's hand suddenly leaned forward, and the whole pole was shaking violently! I looked towards the center of the lake and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of me... Guess what? A big silver carp that was more than half a person's height actually emerged from the lake vividly!"
Yan Bugui talked endlessly about all the strange scenes of the day, and his voice trembled a little when he was excited. Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai beside him were so fascinated by what he heard that they could hardly take their eyes off him.
It was not over yet. Yan Bugui shook his head, seeming even more indignant. "Just when we were so surprised that we couldn't speak, we heard Li Yang say something to the old man next to him, and then he started selling fish!!!'"
"And guess what?" Yan Bugui's voice became more and more sharp. "He actually only sold it for 40 cents a pound! Even we have been working in Shichahai for several years, and we have never seen anyone dare to sell it like this! You say, this guy is obviously speculating, selling it for more than ten or nearly twenty yuan!"
When Yan Bugui said this, his anger almost burst into his face.
He gritted his teeth, his eyes gleaming, and looked like he was about to explode.
Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai were also stunned by Yan Bugui's words and were unable to recover for a long time.
"Twenty yuan? Our monthly apprentice salary is not even that much!" Jia Dongxu finally spoke, his voice trembling.
"That's right!" Yi Zhonghai also nodded heavily, "This guy is really bold and asks for too much! If he wants to make so much money, he must suck the blood of ordinary people like us!"
"Isn't it?" Several people echoed one after another, expressing great shock and indignation at Li Yang's behavior.
......
Several people chattered and denounced Li Yang. However, Yi Zhonghai, who was standing beside him, suddenly looked stern, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
This was the first time Yi Zhonghai heard that Li Yang had engaged in such speculative activities.
All the previous unhappiness stemmed from the fact that he could not stand Li Yang's arrogance and domineering behavior, and his heart was filled with an unknown anger.
Yi Zhonghai's heart moved, and a bright road suddenly appeared before his eyes. Could this be the opportunity given to him by God? With the help of this incident, could he make Li Yang fall from grace?
The more Yi Zhonghai thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him, and he immediately began to sketch out one trick after another in his mind.
After much consideration, he felt that the simplest and most effective way was to let others report Li Yang first, while he would wait for an opportunity in secret.
No matter what the result is, Li Yang's reputation will be greatly damaged, and he can then launch a large-scale attack and strike while the iron is hot.
But the key lies in who will report Li Yang? Yi Zhonghai thought about it carefully, and suddenly an idea came to him, and the candidate Liu Haizhong emerged in front of him.
This person is gloomy, cunning, and accustomed to sneaking around. Most importantly, he and Li Yang have always disliked each other and have always been full of hostility and jealousy towards him. It can be said that this person is the perfect match.
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help laughing wildly in his heart, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes. He immediately stood up and walked out of the yard with an excitement and expectation that he couldn't hide...
…………
As the sun was setting, Liu Haizhong and his wife were having dinner in the courtyard. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard and walked in.
"Old Liu, I brought you a bottle of good wine. Let's have a couple of drinks!" The man came in a cheerful voice, stepped into the yard, walked towards the dining table carelessly, patted the bottle in his hand, until he sat down opposite Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong glanced at the person who came, and then realized that it was Yi Zhonghai who came to visit. He wanted to get angry, but in the end he couldn't resist Yi Zhonghai's enthusiastic aura.
"Old Yi, is there anything wrong?" Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was acting out of character and didn't say anything, Liu Haizhong had to ask tactfully.
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai just shook his head mysteriously.
As he spoke, he had already taken the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Liu Haizhong, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Old Liu, let me tell you, something big has happened."
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was so frank, Liu Haizhong didn't know what to say, so he just picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai also poured himself a glass. He sniffed the aroma of the wine in the glass, and suddenly his expression became serious, and he said earnestly: "Old Liu, do you know that Li Yang did another big thing in Shichahai today?"
"What's the matter?" When Liu Haizhong heard the name, his brows tightened and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
Yi Zhonghai kept it a secret, shook his head and sighed, and said meaningfully: "I just said that the boy made more than ten yuan in one breath today, do you believe it?"
"What?" Liu Haizhong was shocked by Yi Zhonghai's words. He immediately widened his eyes and stared at him for a long time. After a while, he gritted his teeth and asked: "What you said... is it true?"
Yi Zhonghai nodded repeatedly, looking extremely serious: "I just heard this from Old Yan himself, it is absolutely true. Can you guess how he made so much money?"
Liu Haizhong was startled at first, then frowned, his expression becoming more ferocious. He stared at the glass of wine in front of him, as if trying to recall and ponder something.
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai whispered in his ear at the right time: "He's selling fish over there!"
"Selling fish? This..." Liu Haizhong was stunned at first, then a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, as if he had subconsciously captured some key information.
He stood up hastily.
