Over the next few days, Chu Xian's aquarium store consistently made four to five hundred thousand RMB daily, and the situation lasted for a week .
In that time, many people were impatient with envy, and some even staked out Chu Xian's ship and camped out near the dock .
To their disappointment, Chu Xian didn't show any signs of going back out to sea .
With the materials they collected on the last trip, they made more than four hundred and fifty sea tanks, which they estimated was enough to last more than a month .
During this time, Chu Xian went to look at his ornamental fish farm and made some dried fish to ship to David . The goldfish store was still making twenty to thirty thousand RMB every day; things were good .
It was on one of these lazy days that Chu Xian received a surprising phone call .
"What? Can you repeat that, Brother Hong? Someone wants to buy my black-horned snow dragon king?"
"Yes, they don't have your number, so they contacted us . A wealthy man hopes to buy all the Arowanas that are placed in the Dragon Travel Resort, and I'm helping him connect with you . Are you interested?" Hong Chenghai replied .
"Of course . " Chu Xian nodded . "But if they're sold, they won't be on exhibition for the government . I won't be able to help you, Brother Hong!"
"That's alright . Your Arowanas have been on exhibition for a month and have already attracted many visitors . The impact shouldn't be that large . " Hong Chenghai chuckled .
"Then that's perfect . Brother Hong, can you give me their contact info? I'll talk to them directly!" Chu Xian said .
"Okay . " Hong Chenghai nodded then said, "Oh, and Chu Xian, the city wants to order something from you . "
"Oh? From me?" Chu Xian replied, taken aback .
"Haha, that's right . After some discussion, we decided we can't keep borrowing things from you and your Arowana don't belong to us, so we want to purchase a sea tank from you since your sea tanks are extremely popular in Hai Qing City at the moment!" Hong Chenghai smiled .
"Aquariums!" Chu Xian was happy and understood that Hong Chenghai was also promoting his brand . He immediately replied, "Of course, no problem . I can even donate it to the city . "
"No, no . There's no need for that . We will pay . The quality of your aquariums is obvious and can completely replace the Arowana we loaned from you . The tank we want will ideally be quite large, at least five meters in length and two to three meters in height - it definitely won't be cheap . " Hong Chenghai said, "Xiao Xian, come over to the building and let's talk details . "
"Okay, I'll be there soon . " Chu Xian nodded and quickly drove to the city government .
He knocked on the door and pushed it open . Hong Chenghai was in conversation with another middle-aged man .
"You're here! Come, come . Sit . This is Director Song; he's a very capable designer . " Hong Chenghai introduced him .
"How are you?" Chu Xian shook his hand .
"Xiao Xian, you talk with Director Song about the aquarium . " Chu Xian nodded . He understood that Hong Chenghai was trying to prevent himself from micromanaging .
"Hello, Mr . Chu . These are our requirements . " Director Song handed him a piece of paper .
Chu Xian nodded and looked it over . The tank the government required was almost twice the size of his dragon palace sea tank, and there was already a basic layout prepared .
"Director Song, you're preparing for a scenic view in the resort, hmm . This is very creative . " Chu Xian praised his design as he looked over the paper .
"Hehe, we have some experience," Director Song said humbly . "Mr . Chu, I want to ask - how much will this cost? Your dragon palace sea tank is priced at eight hundred and eighty thousand RMB . "
"Hehe . " Chu Xian smiled . "Director Song, how much money has the city prepared for this aquarium?"
"Five hundred thousand RMB . " Director Song laughed awkwardly .
"No problem . I'll make one for you that costs five hundred thousand RMB . It will definitely be the same quality as our collection's showpiece . " Chu Xian nodded immediately . Five hundred thousand RMB was still a lot of money, and he also cared more about the branding promotion .
"Okay, then we'll be troubling Mr . Chu for your help . " Director Song smiled and extended a hand .
"It's no trouble . I might need some extra hands when the time comes . Can you send someone when I call?" Chu Xian asked .
"Of course . Just call me directly; I'm in charge of this aquarium project . "
"Okay . "
"Brother Hong, thank you so much for helping me with this opportunity . " After Director Song left, Chu Xian turned to Hong Chenghai and smiled .
"Haha, this is nothing . Many people already had the idea, so I just gave it a little push . Oh, right . " Hong Chenghai paused, taking out a card . "Here, the buyer for your Arowanas . "
"Star Technology China Area CEO Zhao Cheng!" Chu Xian looked at the name on the card . (1)
"En, a CEO of an overseas company . He said he wants to buy all the Arowanas," Hong Chenghai said .
"All of them?" Chu Xian nodded . "Okay . Thank you, Brother Hong . Are you free for dinner?"
"Unfortunately not . I have arrangements tonight . You'll have to make do on your own!"
Chu Xian nodded then walked out of the building and dialed the number on the card .
"Hello, I am the owner of Ornamental Fish in Paradise . I heard you want to purchase the black horn snow dragon king?" Chu Xian asked .
"That's right . I want to purchase all the Arowanas in the Dragon Travel Resort . Is it convenient for us to talk?" Lu Cheng asked directly .
"I have time . Where would you like to meet?" Chu Xian nodded then headed to a coffee shop downtown .
"Nice to meet you, Mr . Chu!" Lu Cheng was a 40-something middle-aged man . He had polite features and a pair of neat glasses . "Please sit . "
"Nice to meet you . " Chu Xian nodded .
"Let me introduce myself . I am the CEO of Star Technologies in the China area (1) and am also an ornamental fish lover . I hope to buy your black horn snow dragon king and the other Arowanas!" Lu Cheng said directly .
"En, I think Mr . Lu should know the value of my Arowanas first?" Chu Xian nodded .
"Of course . Mr . Chu's black horn snow dragon king is the most valuable Arowana in the world at ten million and the other Arowanas are worth a lot too . A total value of around eighty million," Lu Cheng said directly .
"Yes, around eighty million . Let's just make it an even eighty . If Mr . Lu wants to buy them, that's the price!" Chu Xian said directly .
"Hehe, of course . That's no problem . " Lu Cheng nodded generously . "I love Arowanas a lot, especially the unique black horn snow dragon king . "
"Congratulations, then the Arowanas are yours!" Chu Xian smiled .
The black horned snow dragon king was completely useless to him now . He wouldn't hesitate at the chance to sell it .
