Chapter 32

<!--go-->Returning to the island, Ye Yuan had his father arrange for people to release the abalone seedlings on the rocky shore. Then, he and his father went to the warehouse.

He said to his father, "I got a batch of high-quality feed abroad. You mix it with our local feed at a 1:10 ratio. This can't be known by outsiders. Is it okay if I leave this to you, Dad?"

"Sure! I understand. This is called a trade secret. I've seen it in TV dramas. Don't worry, I won't even tell your Uncle Two," his father said, patting his chest to guarantee it.

In the evening, Ye Yuan directly placed a large batch of space feed in the small warehouse designated by his father. His father told Ye Yuan that this warehouse was the safest on the island. The anti-theft door was specially made today by his brother-in-law, and it was absolutely secure. Only they two had the key.

......

In Landa City, in a very high-end restaurant, Ye Yuan sat opposite Wang Yueshan. On the table, there was only one dish in front of them: abalone.

These two abalones were from the premium abalones in Ye Yuan's space. Ye Yuan wanted to know how the abalones raised in his space tasted, and he also needed to discuss the sales of the abalones with Wang Yueshan.

When Wang Yueshan heard that Ye Yuan had premium abalones and wanted to taste them, he directly booked the most famous seafood restaurant in all of Landa, "Sea People," where he was very familiar with the owner.

The abalones were rich in flavor, tender, and left a lasting aftertaste. Wang Yueshan praised the texture of the abalones. The two abalones Ye Yuan brought for tasting were three-headed abalones.

"These are still fresh abalones. If they were dried, they would be even more delicious," Wang Yueshan said while chewing the abalone in his mouth.

"Would the price of two-headed abalones of the same quality be much higher?" Ye Yuan asked tentatively.

"Brother, are you kidding? Do you have two-headed abalones? I'll take them no matter the price," Wang Yueshan said.

"Brother, don't rush. I'm just asking. If I suddenly bring out too many such abalones, will it affect the high-end market?" Ye Yuan continued.

Wang Yueshan pondered for a moment and said, "If sold to restaurants, it would certainly cause a shock. But if sold directly to the rich, it would be different. How many two-headed abalones of such quality can you get?" Wang Yueshan then shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Such quality, even one is rare. Ah, I'm being greedy," Wang Yueshan muttered to himself before Ye Yuan could speak.

"25 two-headed abalones, one per head," Ye Yuan directly stated the number in his mind.

Before coming, Ye Yuan had carefully checked the number of abalones in his space. He didn't count those with three heads or less. There were over 150 two-headed abalones, including three super-large one-headed abalones.

"Brother, are you kidding? So many super-premium abalones. Can you really bring them out all at once? I doubt there are that many large abalones produced globally in a year," Wang Yueshan said, still in shock after confirming the number.

Wang Yueshan pondered for a long time and finally came up with a plan.

He would contact the auction house in Hong Kong Island. Ye Yuan would process the abalones to be auctioned into dried abalones. The condition was that out of the 25 two-headed abalones, only 15 would be taken to the auction, and the other 10 would be bought by Wang Yueshan at the average auction price.

"Sure, but the 10 you buy will be at the lowest auction price," Ye Yuan said, aiming to secure this sales channel. He understood the principle that everyone should profit from business.

After parting ways with Wang Yueshan, Ye Yuan drove to the aquaculture base. This time, he needed to purchase a large batch of fish fry. The sea area he had contracted was vast, and all the supporting facilities were in place, but only some abalones were released on the rocky shore.

His father had been nagging him about this every day. He bought some lobster and grouper fry. The purchase volume was large, and Ye Yuan's pickup truck couldn't hold it all. The person in charge readily took Ye Yuan's address and promised to deliver directly to Ye Yuan's island.

Ye Yuan returned to the island and found Ding Er.

"How's the carving going these days?"

Ding Er led Ye Yuan to a room in the crew's rest area. Various carving tools were laid out on the workbench, and a large number of finished products were piled on the floor.

From these finished products, one could see the progress of the carver, from the initially simple and crude works to more satisfactory ones, and finally to perfect pieces.

If a carver were here, they would never imagine that all these were completed by one person in just a few days.

Ye Yuan looked at the works and was very satisfied.

"These past few days, help me make a tea tray with petrified wood, and a few bracelets and ornaments."

The tea tray was for his own use, and the bracelets and ornaments could be made from some leftover materials.

Ye Yuan planned to use these as gifts in the future. As his business grew, he would occasionally need to give small gifts to business partners, and these would be very suitable.

He casually picked up a figurine from the workbench, a girl doll that looked like Niuniu. Many of the ornaments Ding Er carved were based on the appearances of Ye Yuan's family.

When he got home, Niuniu immediately ran over and stared at the figurine in Ye Yuan's hand with her big eyes.

"Do you like it?" Ye Yuan said, patting the little girl's head.

"I like it, Uncle, but aren't we very poor? Why have you been giving Niuniu so many gifts lately, and we live in such a big house?"

"Niuniu, who told you we are poor?"

"Mom said so, and she said I should be obedient and study hard to earn a lot of money when I grow up."

Hearing Niuniu's words, Ye Yuan felt the hardships his sister had endured over the years, and his heart ached.

"Niuniu, Uncle promises you will become the prettiest little princess. But you have to be a good girl, okay?"

"Thank you, Uncle. Niuniu is the most obedient child in the world," she said, then skipped to the yard to find Dahuang with the figurine that looked like her.

Looking at Niuniu, he thought, having a child at home isn't bad.

"I wonder if my child will be as cute as Niuniu."

Why am I thinking about these things? I haven't even found a wife yet, and I'm already thinking about having a child.

At this moment, his father walked in directly.

"Xiao Yuan, didn't you promise to buy a ferry for the villagers? These days, everyone has been using a few sampans to go to work. Today, I heard someone complaining," his father said, then picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip.

Ye Yuan slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten. If his father hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten about this matter long ago.

"I'll contact them right away," Ye Yuan said, taking out his phone and calling the shipyard in Landa that had modified his yacht last time.

After hanging up, he said, "For the next few days, use my fishing boat. It will take a few days to get the ferry, and I'll arrange the manpower right away."

His father, knowing his son had taken care of it, hummed a tune and walked out.

Ye Yuan called Ding Yi and asked him to use the fishing boat to transport the workers to and from work for the next few days and to arrange manpower to take over the ferry from the shipyard.
