Jingxia Xiaogoro pondered for a moment, then looked at Tang Xiaoyu and asked, "Tang Xiaoyu, how much do you think it would cost to get the agency rights for all of Japan?"

Tang Xiaoyu replied: "This is the entire territory of Japan. The agency fee is not cheap. Three million for three years. After three years, we can negotiate again according to the market price."

When Jingxia Kogoro heard this, he felt a toothache and shook his head quickly, saying, "It's too expensive! Importing to Japan requires all kinds of promotion and a huge investment. We may not be able to make that much profit in three years. The most I can offer is one million."

When Tang Xiaoyu proposed the price just now, he deliberately raised the price and waited for the other party to bargain. Since the other party bargained, there was room for negotiation.

Tang Xiaoyu frowned and said, "My cousin has many classmates in Japan, and they have a certain understanding of the ornamental fish market there. Beautiful koi and goldfish are very expensive. We also have matching fish tanks and porcelain tanks. In the future, we will launch more elegant, simple and high-end fish-raising vessels."

"Therefore, our competitiveness will become stronger and stronger. In fact, what you need to do is to build a shop as a model in a prosperous place with a large flow of people, and then import some ornamental fish that the Japanese like to raise there. Then let salesmen promote them in various cities, and then distribute these ornamental fish to dealers."

"Our prices are very competitive, there is no doubt about that. Mr. Jingxia, this is a good business, and it is a sure win. You are a successful businessman. The fact that you have opened such a prosperous Japanese restaurant in Shenzhen and made huge profits is enough to prove your ability and vision."

These words touched Mr. Jingxia's heart, and he said, "Manager Tang, 1.2 million is the highest price I can offer."

Tang Xiaoyu felt more confident and responded, "Two million and eight hundred thousand, three years of agency fees, an average of less than one million per year, it's a good deal."

After some negotiation, the two sides finally agreed on a three-year agency fee of RMB 2.4 million and a FOB trading method. However, there was a clause that the seller had to guarantee that the ornamental fish were alive after arriving at the shore, and also had to provide relevant breeding technology to ensure that the ornamental fish were healthy and energetic.

In fact, all the technology is reflected in the fish feed. As long as the water temperature is maintained at a suitable level and the fish feed is fed regularly and quantitatively, the fish can be kept energetic and will not die.

After getting the agency contract and paying the money, Ishita Kogoro handed over the business to his eldest son, Ishita Shimizu, and hurried back to Japan. He also took away two skilled workers who had just returned from a business trip to Beijing. They were to help Ishita Kogoro build a place to store ornamental fish. The business trip allowance was high, and the client wanted them to do a good job, so they were treated to good food and drink, so the two skilled workers were naturally happy.

When Liu Meilan came back from the sea, she saw the agency contract signed by Tang Xiaoyu, nodded, and asked, "Very good, have you found a foreign trade company to connect with?"

Tang Xiaoyu replied: "I found it. The Ye family has an import and export company under their name. The commission is 1%, which is half the price of others."

Liu Meilan shook her waist, nudged Tang Xiaoyu's leg with her butt, and teased, "Sister, why is the commission so low? Did you use a honey trap on Ye Qiang?"

When Tang Xiaoyu heard this, he glared at Liu Meilan and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If I use the beauty trap, Ye Qiang won't take a single cent of commission."

"Haha!" Liu Meilan laughed. "I can see that you are so capable, Xiaoyu! Can we continue talking to Qiao Xi next?"

Tang Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes, I have prepared the relevant agreement content, and I will make some modifications based on the specific situation of the negotiation. But my attitude is very clear, if you want to get the agency rights, you have to negotiate properly."

"Okay!" Liu Meilan smiled. "You already have experience. You can figure it out yourself! Anyway, we are all crossing the river by feeling the stones. A little more is better, but a little less doesn't matter."

"Since you said that, I'll just do it!" Tang Xiaoyu replied, "By the way, when Kogoro was discussing the contract with me today, he boasted a lot!"

"What do you mean?" Liu Meilan didn't understand.

Tang Xiaoyu replied: "It's about the Canton Fair... Although there are no ornamental fish for sale there, we can go in as decorators."

Liu Meilan was stunned and said, "Exhibitions should be booked in advance! Even for decorators, the bidding has already ended. How do we get in?"

Tang Xiaoyu smiled mysteriously and said, "It's actually very simple. We don't have much else, but we have a lot of backers! I'll ask Ye Qiang and my cousin to help keep an eye out for us."

"If we can't spare the booth inside, that's OK! We have ornamental fish anyway, so it's better to display them outside! We'll find an open space, set up the fish tank, and put the fish in it. When foreigners come to see us, we'll introduce them to you. It's good if we can make a deal, but it doesn't matter if we can't. It's also good to expand our reputation."

Hearing this, Liu Meilan felt that her horizons were instantly broadened.

"Xiao Yu, I think it doesn't matter if we spend money but can't make business! The most important thing is to expand our reputation. You know, there are not only foreigners participating in the exhibition, but also companies from all over our country. There are state-owned enterprises and private enterprises. Maybe someone will be interested, and this will also help open up the domestic market."

Tang Xiaoyu's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes! This is a great idea. When the time comes, we will send the promotional materials not only to foreigners, but also to domestic exhibitors. As long as the place can be reached by train, we can safely transport these ornamental fish there, and then we can start a business."

"But there is a problem now. Most of the workers in our farm only know how to raise fish, and they don't speak English. It's not enough for the two of us to go to the exhibition! What's more, the two fishing boats of Sifang Seafood Fishing Company cannot do without you. You can't go to the exhibition every day. I think we need to recruit two people who can speak English."

Liu Meilan touched her chin and said, "We should indeed recruit two people who can speak English. At the same time, I want to work with Meixiang's teacher to let these students come here for practice. Because the exhibition cycle here is relatively long and the flow of people is relatively large, so we can let these students come to help. Of course, they will also be given corresponding compensation."

Tang Xiaoyu gave a thumbs up and praised, "Meilan, this is a good idea! Let's go to Meixiang's school at noon today, treat Meixiang to a meal, and talk about this matter by the way."

"Okay!" Liu Meilan responded, "This will also give Meixiang a chance to gain experience. She can practice more in school and start working directly after graduation."

"Yes!" Tang Xiaoyu replied, "Mei Xiang studies very hard and goes to the store in the mall to help out every weekend. She didn't even go home during the National Day holiday."

Liu Meilan said with emotion: "Since her second uncle's leg was injured and he couldn't go out to sea, Meixiang felt that she had grown up and should earn money to support the family. Our salary is high, which is not only enough for her living expenses, but also allows her to earn some money to reduce the burden on her family. She is a very responsible and motivated girl."

Hearing this, Tang Xiaoyu felt even more distressed for Liu Meilan and said, "In fact, you are only a little older than Meixiang, but you are more mature and capable. This also reflects that you have experienced more hardships and difficulties."

Liu Meilan felt warm in her heart. Some friends can only see your glory, but some friends can not only see your glory, but also see your suffering, and even feel sorry for you. This is a good friend who will walk with you for a lifetime.

Liu Meilan went forward to hug Tang Xiaoyu and said, "Thank you for caring about me. Fortunately, everything is over now."

Tang Xiaoyu chuckled: "I don't know why, but whenever I see someone who was involved in your past life, I always think of your past sufferings."

Liu Meilan held Tang Xiaoyu in her arms, quietly, without saying a word. In fact, although life was hard and tiring when she was a child, at least she had freedom. Getting married and entering the Sun family was her hell. Her only range of activities was that yard.

"Sun Jianan, how is he now?" Liu Meilan asked, "Did we send someone to follow him last time? Did we get any results?"

Tang Xiaoyu replied: "The Li family does not agree with Li Qian and Sun Jianan dating. Li Qian is a love-minded person and thinks Sun Jianan is good. I heard that she went on a hunger strike and insisted on being with Sun Jianan."

Liu Meilan was startled, then smiled bitterly: "The woman is deeply in love, but she doesn't know that the man is just lying to her. How can he really like her? What is the attitude of the Li family?"

Tang Xiaoyu sighed and said, "My father doesn't agree with the Li family, but my mother feels sorry for her daughter and has begun to waver."

"Do they know what Sun Jianan did in the past?" Liu Meilan asked, frowning slightly. "If they know and still have a soft heart, then there is really no hope for them."

"The Li family doesn't want this to happen." Tang Xiaoyu shook his head and sighed, "Li Qian's head seems to be filled with water. She has been spoiled at home since she was a child and has never suffered any hardship or suffering. Her parents love her very much. Now her parents oppose her and Sun Jianan being together. It must be for Li Qian's own good. Li Qian is like being blinded. She is determined to be with Sun Jianan and is willing to go on a hunger strike to force her parents. I have always felt that life experience is really important. Parents and elders can see through things that we young people cannot see through. Small things don't matter, but for big things in life, we must pay attention to our parents' opinions."

Liu Meilan nodded and agreed: "Yes, first of all, we must make sure that what parents do is really for the good of their children, and not just for show. I believe that most parents in the world want their children to live well and in peace."

"What should we do now?" Tang Xiaoyu asked, "Sun Jianyou is in prison, and he got into a fight with someone else and broke his bones. His sentence will be increased again. With his dark personality, he probably won't be able to get out of prison in this lifetime. Sun Jianan and his parents will blame you for all this." This was because the Liu family didn't deliberately make things difficult for them. It was really Sun Jianyou who got into a fight in prison on his own.

Liu Meilan smiled: "They deserve it. I'm not afraid of them. As for Sun Jianan, wanting to be the son-in-law of the Li family, haha, wishful thinking!"

Tang Xiaoyu asked: "Meilan, what do you want to do?"

"Of course it's exaggerating, adding fuel to the fire, and killing someone with a borrowed knife!" Liu Meilan's eyes were full of hatred. Becoming stronger was not only for a better life, but also for revenge. Only when all the Sun family members died, her hatred would disappear completely.

"Do you need my help?" Tang Xiaoyu asked.

Liu Meilan waved her hand: "No, I have my own plan, I don't need your help." How could she let Tang Xiaoyu know the details of the bad things she did? Even if they were good friends, it was not allowed!

Liu Meilan changed into a cool denim outfit and went downstairs with a helmet. As soon as Tang Xiaoyu entered the room, he saw Liu Meilan dressed so coolly, and asked in surprise, "Meilan, where are you going?"

Liu Meilan shook the helmet in her hand and said, "Let's go shopping."

Tang Xiaoyu looked Liu Meilan up and down, even putting on black eyeshadow on her makeup, and said, "Meilan, don't get your hands on anyone's life. Even if you have the ability, if you don't expose it now, it doesn't mean you won't expose it in the future."

Liu Meilan waved her hand: "Xiao Yu, of course I know the importance of this. I just want to go out for a walk. Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid like that. Don't tell anyone else, I just want to go out for a walk, ride my bike and take in the night view of Shenzhen." After saying that, Liu Meilan playfully pinched Tang Xiaoyu's chin, "tease" Tang Xiaoyu a bit, and walked away in a cool manner.

Standing on the windowsill, watching Liu Meilan riding away smoothly on her motorcycle, Tang Xiaoyu smiled. This is the real Liu Meilan. Usually Liu Meilan is so gentle and kind, like a harmless little rabbit, but Tang Xiaoyu always thinks that is Liu Meilan's protective color. In fact, Liu Meilan has a heart of a tiger, but she can smell the roses. Even the strongest people will show a gentle and delicate side when facing their loved ones or beautiful things. Similarly, Liu Meilan is strong in heart and has an extremely upright character.

Riding a motorcycle, feeling the traffic coming and going, Liu Meilan passed through the wind, which was both exciting and enjoyable. For the first time, she felt the city so comfortably by herself. Every experience was new and novel.

Coming to the most prosperous bar street, Liu Meilan wanted to find Li Qian's brother Li Chen. She hoped to start with Li Chen to deal with Sun Jianan. Li Chen's family was rich, and he was a man who knew how to have fun.

Li Chen came out of the nightclub, holding two beautiful girls, one on each side, and kissing one and the other. He took out a bunch of money and stuffed it into the chests of the two girls.

Liu Meilan did not come forward, she silently observed in the dark. Her eyesight was very good, and she could see clearly even from a distance. Such a person who lived a life of debauchery was definitely no match for Sun Jianan.

While Liu Meilan was thinking, a short man who looked like a beggar came to Li Chen. He took out a machete from his pocket and stabbed Li Chen in the back.

Li Chen screamed in pain and quickly let go of the two girls, holding his lower back and running forward. The two dancers were so scared that they ran away screaming. They just wanted to make money, not lose their lives!

The security guard at the door was also shocked when he saw this scene. After reacting, he picked up the iron pipe and rushed over. Although the beggar was not fast, it was not difficult for him to catch up with Li Chen who was injured in the lower back. After he rushed over, he jumped up and cut Li Chen's neck with a machete.

"Ah!" Li Chen screamed, blood splattered, as if his aorta was cut, and he lay on the ground, gasping for breath.
