That day, Ye Yuan was preparing to take Dahuang out to sea, yes, taking Dahuang out to sea.
When his parents came back that day, they saw that Dahuang had suddenly become so smart and asked Ye Yuan how he did it.
Ye Yuan stammered, "I found some dog training methods online and experimented with Dahuang. I didn't expect Dahuang to be so capable, learning it right away." His parents didn't think much of it, after all, it was their own son.
Then, Ye Yuan, during this trip out to sea, told his parents he wanted to take Dahuang, and they agreed. Just as one person and one dog were about to set out to sea, Ye Yuan's phone rang.
"May I ask, are you Mr. Ye Yuan?"
"Yes, I am. Who are you?"
"Hello, we are staff from the 4S store in Blue Island City. A friend of yours ordered a car online for you. We have already set off and expect to arrive in Pinghai County in about an hour. Is it convenient for you to come and receive it?"
"One of my friends? Could you tell me his name?"
"Zhao Chuan, Zhao Chuan from Beijing, he made the reservation through our headquarters in Beijing." A sweet-voiced girl answered respectfully.
"Oh~ Alright, I'll see you at the Pinghai County dock in an hour."
"Okay, Mr. Ye Yuan, goodbye."
Through the conversation, Ye Yuan knew that the gift Zhao Chuan mentioned that day was a car, what a guy.
He then picked up the phone and called Zhao Chuan.
"The car has arrived? Do you like it? I thought if I gave you money, you definitely wouldn't take it. This is a gift from your brother. Seeing your setup, it looks like you're planning to be a fisherman. After all, what you have is high-end stuff. Having a car will make it more convenient to go to Blue Island, right? I know you got your driver's license when you were in school, hehe."
Before Ye Yuan could ask, Zhao Chuan already knew why he was calling.
Ye Yuan was also helpless. The car was already on its way to him, and it wouldn't be practical to refuse it now.
He couldn't just ask the delivery person to drive it back, so he changed the subject and asked, "Did you receive the seafood? How was it?"
"Haha, your seafood is top-notch. Not to mention the big abalones, just those big yellow croakers, lobsters, and crabs stunned those executives. They even said I care about them, almost ready to pledge their loyalty. Brother, you did a great job this time."
"I'm glad you're happy. Alright, the old man's birthday is in ten days, right? I'll come over in a few days, and we can chat more."
"Okay, I'll be in Beijing, ready to welcome you, haha." After saying this, Zhao Chuan hung up the phone.
Through the phone, Ye Yuan could hear the joy in Zhao Chuan's heart. Originally planning to go out to sea, it seemed he had to go to Pinghai County first.
At the dock, it wasn't long before he saw a brand new Ford F-150 driving over.
Behind the F-150, an Audi followed. The two cars stopped at the dock, drawing a lot of attention, after all, such a pickup truck was still quite rare in this small county.
A man and a woman got out of the two cars, and the woman walked over with a smile.
"Are you Mr. Ye Yuan?"
"Yes."
"Hello, I am a staff member from Ford in Blue Island. This is your car." She pointed to the black Ford F-150.
"If there are no issues, please sign this document." She handed over a contract.
Ye Yuan looked at the contract, found no problems, signed it directly, and smiled as he bid farewell to the two staff members.
But when he turned back to look at the car, he saw Dahuang circling around it, lifting a hind leg next to the tire.
Ye Yuan chuckled, "This dog is too smart for its own good, knowing it's his own stuff, he's already marking his territory."
He drove around for a bit, feeling quite good. Then, he found a parking lot at the dock, parked the car, and took Dahuang out to sea again.
Zhao Chuan's car would cost at least 600,000 yuan. For his father's birthday, it wouldn't be right to go empty-handed. If he bought something expensive, the money he had wouldn't be enough.
Suddenly, he remembered that when they were in school, Zhao Chuan mentioned that his grandfather was a lover of ornamental fish.
With such a vast sea, what kind of fish couldn't he find? Today, he would go and see what high-end ornamental fish were in the sea. This wasn't just for the old man; it could also become a source of income for him.
He came to a sea area with coral reefs. Generally, ornamental fish live in areas with coral reefs. Ye Yuan, after all, was a marine science major and was quite familiar with the living habits of fish in the sea.
If it were some fishermen, even if a valuable ornamental fish swam by, they might not recognize it.
He instructed Dahuang to stay on the boat and went underwater, watching colorful fish chasing each other in the coral reefs.
Using his ability, Ye Yuan searched deeper and deeper for those high-end ornamental fish.
Finally, in a coral crevice, he found two small fish with red, white, and yellow patterns. Although these two small fish were only about 7 cm long, their reputation was significant.
These fish had a beautiful name, "Red Mint Angelfish," a unique carnivorous ornamental fish that generally lives in deep waters near steep coastal reefs, making them hard to catch and quite expensive. They are gentle and hard to catch due to their deep-water habitat. In China, they are very expensive, almost the value of a new SUV.
"It's you two," Ye Yuan directly put the two small fish into the fish farm space.
Sending these two fish, he was sure Zhao Chuan's grandfather would be very happy. The main point wasn't the price but the rarity; globally, only a few might be caught in a year, or perhaps none at all.
After taking care of these, Ye Yuan continued searching and found several other ornamental fish: Queen Angelfish, Emperor Angelfish, Moon Wrasse, and Lyretail Anthias.
After catching many ornamental fish, Ye Yuan discovered black pearl oysters on the seabed.
There were not many black pearl oysters, only about seven or eight in total. Black pearl oysters are usually light gray to silver-gray, weighing up to 5 kilograms, about twice the size of ordinary sea oysters. They can live up to 30 years and produce larger pearls.
Black pearl oysters have two main natural habitats: one is the Tahiti Island in the Polynesian Islands, producing 95% of the world's supply; the other is the Penrhyn and Manihiki Islands in the Cook Islands, accounting for 4% of the total. Other Pacific islands produce less than 1%. It was unknown why these black pearl oysters appeared here.
After collecting the black pearl oysters, Ye Yuan caught a few lobsters and crabs and returned to the boat. He put the lobsters and crabs in the water tank on the boat, took photos, and sent a private message to a classmate named Wang Yue in the class group.
Wang Yue directly transferred 5,000 yuan to Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan went to Pinghai County again to send the seafood.
Through these deliveries, the courier company saw that Ye Yuan was a big customer and offered him some discounts, promising more if he sent more in the future.
He originally planned to go to Blue Island City to see how much his caught ornamental fish could sell for.
But after some thought, he decided against it. In a few days, he would go to Beijing, where the ornamental fish market was much larger and the prices higher.
For ordinary people, the main issue with ornamental fish is transportation, but for Ye Yuan, it wasn't a problem at all.
At home, he took out the black pearl oysters and prepared to open them all, hoping to find the legendary black pearls inside.
