Chapter 44 Loophole


Chapter 44 Loop

On the other side of Director Li, Ning Weimin really didn’t expect anything.

The reason is simple. If Director Li was really capable of solving his problem, this matter would not have come to this point.

The words said at the banquet were just due to the atmosphere.

Although Ning Weimin believes that Director Li's statement is sincere, he should say it and do it.

You can't break away from the objective laws of things, right?

So when it comes to making a living, he has to make his own decisions, which is the most reliable.

Fortunately, he is no longer the impoverished master he used to be. The past few months of hanging out with the blind people have indeed been in vain.

He did some calculations and found that he had actually made a profit of 4,600 yuan from the blind people.

Today, he is actually a small rich man.

I have already accumulated more than 600 monkey tickets from the entire page.

In addition, he also deliberately left five hundred yuan in cash for himself to be flexible.

This does not include the bonus awarded by the state for "Zhenzun Zhenhou".

He used the money directly to honor his master.

To put it bluntly, he already has a lot of capital to take the initiative in his own life.

This is completely different from the past when he was just sitting around at home.

No, he soon found a loophole in the market to exploit, and that was tossing tropical fish.

Speaking of fun, people in Beijing are very rich in history.

When it comes to playing with fish, people in Beijing are no strangers.

Flowers, birds, insects, and fish are the "four major things" in the capital.

In fact, people in the capital have never stopped having this kind of pastime since ancient times, even in special years.

It’s just that in the early years, Jingcheng always played with goldfish.

Imported species such as tropical fish only entered the capital from the south in the mid-1970s.

The mainstream varieties that entered the capital at that time were peacock, fairy, red arrow, and traffic light.

Not only are the colors colorful, they are beautiful.

The key is that the viewing method is very different from traditional goldfish kept in a large water tank and viewed from top to bottom.

To raise these tropical fish, you need to use a large glass tank, in which you can also plant aquatic plants and put a rockery.

It is easy to create an ecological scene like an underwater world, which is very interesting.

So since the reform and opening up, along with flowers and plants, living animals such as goldfish, birds, and pigeons have slowly become more popular in people's lives, and raising tropical fish has become more and more popular.

Ning Weimin recently discovered that tropical fish seem to be more popular than goldfish, and there is a faint trend of becoming a mainstream species.

There is a daily morning market or a flower, bird, fish and insect market, although most of them are selling goldfish.

But those who buy fish buy more tropical fish than those who buy goldfish.

Because tropical fish have just become popular, not many people have mastered the relevant breeding technology, and the supply of tropical fish on the market is very limited.

If someone sells it, it will be sold out in no time.

So Ning Weimin came up with this idea, thinking that the market potential was very great, and wanted to make some money by breeding tropical fish.

You know, people in Beijing have always had the mentality of "going hot" and "following the herd", and they always get up to speed on everything.

As long as the trend becomes popular, you can’t hold it back even if you want. Everyone, regardless of age or gender, will participate enthusiastically.

And selling anything is considered speculation at the moment, but only buying and selling flowers, birds, fish and insects is allowed.

Although the price of tropical fish at this time is not expensive, if the shipment volume is large and small profits are made but quick turnover, you can still make a lot of money.

What's more, in terms of technology, he is really not an amateur, but has an innate advantage.

In Qingqing's previous life, as a small business owner in the collecting industry, Ning Weimin could easily keep a silver dragon, a map, a seven-star sword and so on.

The first is the auspicious feng shui, hoping that water and fish can bring you wealth.

Secondly, you can also expand your business and connections by getting in touch with people who have the same hobbies.

Although there is a price for being arty, when he first started, he wasted his hard-earned money. But then he bought fish again and again and asked people for tips. As he got to know more masters, he became better and better at it.

Before time travel, he was able to successfully breed silver dragons in artificial pairs.

With such technology, is it still difficult to artificially breed common species of tropical fish in this day and age?

This idea came to mind, and Ning Weimin thought about it carefully.

Finally, the species that makes money was decided on “Angel Fish”.

At this time, this kind of fish is the kind of fish raised by professional players. It is the most expensive on the market, and one fish can be sold for two yuan.

Breeding is also the most troublesome, because this kind of fish breeds on objects and requires the use of a birth plate.

But this fish also has benefits. After entering the mature stage, the breeding cycle is frequent.

400-500 eggs each time, the largest amount of fish is produced.

Naturally, it is the most cost-effective for Ning Weimin.

I thought about it and started doing it, because there is no professional fish farming equipment on the market.

Ning Weimin made four fish tanks one and a half feet tall.

The material is just old iron sheets smashed into angle iron shapes and then assembled with rivets to form a fish tank frame.

Then put in the glass, apply putty, and paint it yourself.

It only cost 20 yuan. Although it is a bit crude, it is very practical.

Then he went to Guanyuaner Market and Taoranting Market, the largest markets in the city, equipped with a thermometer to measure the water temperature.

After spending another fifteen yuan, I got back three carefully selected pairs of angel fish, all of which have entered the breeding period.

Then the process of pouring cylinder A into cylinder B in the morning, cylinder B pouring into cylinder C at noon, and cylinder C pouring into cylinder A at night, and so on forever and ever.

In order to keep the fish warm, in addition to using light bulbs to bake several pairs of fish, they also used the sun to dry them.

And because tropical fish are foreign species, they do not eat fish food like goldfish, but only live fish and insects in the river.

This makes Ning Weimin resume his habit of getting up early every day and has to go to the morning market to buy fish and insects.

Sometimes I buy a single small grass worm, and it jumps around in the bottle like a needle, which makes people confused.

Sometimes I buy red nematodes, which are thin and long, tangled into a knot, squirming in the water, and extremely numb.

And his troubles made his home look like a Crystal Palace, which naturally aroused the attention of the neighbors and made them feel strange.

Even Bian Jianggong, who helped him with the bathtub when he had time, didn't understand.

Why did he have to make such a big fight and spend so much energy over a few fish?

Not to mention other people.

For example, Uncle Bian shook his head when he saw the fish.

"Weimin, these fish of yours are far worse than those big dragon eyes raised in Zhongshan Park. What's there to see? Hey, I have presbyopia and I can't tell the difference between noses and eyes at all."

Master Luo didn't like Ning Weimin's fish very much, so he continued to talk.

“Nothing is as good as our local ones. Goldfish have been raised for thousands of years, and how many people have put their efforts into it. Dragon Eye, Wangtian, Hibiscus, White Pearl, and Double Cannon are all competing one by one. How beautiful are these? How can they be like gods?”

Ning Weimin shook his head, unable to answer at all, and he was too lazy to explain.

It is difficult to change people's habitual thinking and aesthetics. He doesn't like dragon eyes either, and grass goldfish is just fine.

So it’s up to them to think whatever they like.

Anyway, people didn’t say that he was “fishing for fish and shrimp, which delayed the crops. He was young and lost his ambition by playing with things.”

When the time comes, all he has to do is wait for the egg to be laid, the board to be hung up, the little fish to take off, and he will get the money.

He was quite confident that he would be able to successfully breed one or two thousand of them every month before winter.

Even a dime is equivalent to two months’ salary of an ordinary person.

With this money, the important monkey ticket collection work can still proceed smoothly as planned.

His ambition is getting closer.
