Chapter 858 The Entertainment Industry, The Original Female Lead Killed by the Transmigrator (24)
And so, everyone waited with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness until the next day. To their surprise, when they all came down early the next morning, the production crew had not yet arrived.
Having not received any notification, and not wanting to act alone, they could only wait together. Around 7:30, the resort staff brought them breakfast, saying it was ordered by the production team and that they should hurry, as the production team was already on their way.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke up to discuss the matter. They all quickly started eating breakfast. Almost at the same time they finished eating, the director and his staff arrived in a truck.
They were called outside, and then they saw five water tanks in the truck bed, filled to the brim with fish.
Xiao Yun glanced at them with his divine sense and knew that these were the fish they had caught yesterday. Because they were mostly caught with nets and kept in seawater, almost none of the fish had died.
In addition, there were five electronic scales on the truck bed. Looking at these items, Xiao Yun knew what they were going to do; it seemed they were going to sell fish.
Sure enough, the director said to them, "Today's task is to sell these fish. We have already sorted the fish, and the quantities and types are about the same. We will also deliver them to you by truck."
"Sell fish? Where are we going to sell them? Are we supposed to sell them to the island's residents?" Chen Wei asked, looking puzzled. Clearly, even as the director's daughter, she hadn't received any special privileges regarding spoilers.
The director smiled and shook his head, "Of course not. In a little while, you'll follow the truck to take the ferry, which will take you to the other side. There's a large seafood market there, so you can sell your seafood there."
You can set the price yourself, just find a way to sell these fish. However, the money from selling the fish will not only be your activity funds for today, but also the basis for ranking later. The more money you have, the more points you will get.
Also, you'll be staying there for a day. Besides food and drinks, you'll need to buy some camping gear for tomorrow. This is a spoiler for you: the production team won't be providing any gear tomorrow, so whether you can complete the task tomorrow depends on whether you buy enough gear today.
Okay, you can follow the truck to the dock now. The fish selling time is three hours, which is also today's live broadcast time. Take the last boat back tonight.
Everyone boarded the shuttle bus parked nearby and followed the truck toward the dock.
There are actually quite a few residents on this island, but they don't live here. This area is a tourist area, mostly consisting of resorts and hotels. If you want to buy things, you can go to the east side, which is a residential area with a shopping street.
The pier is located between the resort area and the residential area, with five ferries a day, averaging one every two hours.
Just then, a ferry stopped there. They got out of their car, took the tickets given to them by the production team, and boarded the ferry. The trucks drove directly onto the ferry. The ferry not only carries people but also vehicles, and many people drive their private cars in or out.
Ten people sat in the cabin, looking out at the trucks through the windows. Qi Hongli said with a worried expression, "The other side is also the sea. If the fishermen sell their fish directly, our fish probably won't fetch much of a price."
Sitting in front of her, Wang Jia nodded in agreement, "That's right. If we don't make enough money, we won't even have enough to eat and drink, let alone buy any tools, or even a tent."
Chen Wei pouted and said, "Yeah, even if there are 100 jin of fish, selling them for 10 yuan a jin would only cost 1,000 yuan. A cheap tent would cost several hundred yuan, and we would also need to buy pots and pans for picnics. I can't think of anything else for now. When we get to the outdoor equipment store, I guess we'll need to buy even more things."
Xiao Yun shook his head with amusement. He was thinking of selling it for ten yuan a pound. It wasn't some rare deep-sea fish. Inland supermarkets only sell it for four or five yuan, of course, those are all frozen. Fresh ones should be more expensive, but this is the place of origin, so it's probably not worth it.
However, the director said that when buying camping equipment, you don't necessarily have to buy a tent. As long as you're not spending the night in the mountains and just need shelter from the rain and wind, there are plenty of alternatives.
Of course, we also have to be prepared to stay overnight, just in case things don't go according to plan this time.
They quickly reached the other side of the river. After disembarking, the truck drove directly to the wholesale market, while the passengers walked. They found out it wasn't far, less than two kilometers, and arrived in about ten minutes.
When they arrived, the fish had already been unloaded. Fortunately, each tank had a handcart underneath, so they didn't have to carry it. It was one of those small carts that deliverymen use, and it was quite easy to pull.
The trucks will wait in the parking lot; once they've sold the fish, they'll take the trucks, boxes, and electronic scales back.
Everyone, carrying their own water tanks, began searching for their assigned stalls in the seafood market.
The wholesale market doesn't have all fixed stalls; there are also temporary stalls for rent outside, charged by the day, fifty yuan a day. Their stalls were rented in advance by the production team; otherwise, they would have been kicked out by the managers.
They have their phones with them, but they can't use them because they're live-streaming.
Moreover, the photographers following the camera weren't using those long, bulky lenses—that would be too obvious. They were using hidden cameras, and they were all wearing masks and long work uniforms. Unless someone watching the live stream came looking for them, it would be really hard to recognize them.
Xiao Yun didn't rush to find a place. Instead, she asked Xiao Yu to watch the fish while she went to check out the market situation.
Some of the other guests started hawking their wares as soon as they found a spot. Seeing that Xu Jingzhou was embarrassed, Chen Wei took the initiative and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Freshly caught fish! Come and have a look!"
Although it attracted some attention, the effect was not very good. The market was mainly selling seafood, with fish making up the majority, and people were not very interested in these imported fish.
Moreover, although the large number of wholesale customers had already completed their transactions, there were still quite a few individual customers whose small amount of goods were not worth their attention.
As for those who come to buy in small quantities, that's also possible, but they prefer to buy from large wholesalers who have leftover stock, as it's cheaper.
Xiao Yun asked around about the approximate prices and whether they bought fish. Some people did want fish, but the price they offered was too low. They only offered 3.5 yuan per jin (500 grams), while they sold it for 6 yuan. It was not worth it at all.
So she decided to sell it herself, and took Xiao Yu and the fish to their stall. The five groups of people's stalls were not together, and everyone bought their own things without interfering with each other.
When Xiao Yun arrived at the stall, instead of loudly hawking his wares like the others, he borrowed paper and pen from the manager and wrote a sign on someone else's discarded foam box lid that read, "Fresh seafood directly from the island, wild fish caught and sold on the spot, buy ten pounds and get one pound free."
She also had Xiao Yu keep a few lively fish in small buckets nearby to attract customers' attention.
Before long, customers were attracted and inquired about the price. Xiao Yun enthusiastically introduced the freshness and taste of the fish, saying that she had just eaten it yesterday and still remembered it vividly.
He even let the customers choose for themselves. The customers saw that the fish were indeed fresh and the price was cheaper than other stalls, so they bought two fish to make up eleven catties. Xiao Yun charged them sixty yuan directly.
The guests from other groups saw Xiao Yun's business opening from afar and cast envious glances their way.
The other groups also opened for business to varying degrees, but Chen Wei's group didn't. Seeing this, she tried even harder to sell, but the results were still not good.
Her eyes darted around, and she picked up her phone to open the live stream, wanting to see how Xiao Yun was selling it. But when she saw that eye-catching foam sign, she was stunned by the price on it.
"She's only selling them for six yuan! Plus, she's giving away one pound for every ten pounds you buy. That's incredibly cheap! Even if they're all sold out, it'll only cost a little over five hundred yuan. What can you buy with that?"
