Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 310 - 176: A Second Major Shareholder Without Ambition Is Not a Good Second Major Shareholder (Part 2)
The waiter replied with a smile, "Of course. We have special channels, sourcing at a relatively low price, absolutely pure wild-caught, the same variety as in some high-end hotels. Like the Peninsula Hotel, Baoqing Restaurant, and Hai City Restaurant."
If Yang Chen remembers correctly, the pure wild-caught grouper at Baoqing Restaurant is 258 a pound, while at the Peninsula Hotel it’s 298 a pound.
If what the waiter said isn’t a lie, wouldn’t that mean Baoqing Restaurant and the Peninsula Hotel’s purchasing prices are too high?
"Miss, I know what wild-caught grouper tastes like, alright? If you’re lying to me, I’ll call the police to arrest you!" Yang Chen threatened.
The waiter confidently replied, "No problem, if it’s not pure wild-caught grouper, whatever you want to do, I’ll accept."
Yang Chen: "Quick serve! I’d be a fool not to take advantage of such a deal. Let’s have a portion."
Waiter: "Alright. Want the lobster too? It’s also 100 bucks a pound."
Yang Chen: "Is it pure wild-caught too?"
Waiter: "Of course. We don’t sell farm-raised ones; they’re all pure wild-caught, high nutritional value, and delicious meat."
Yang Chen: "Then let’s have one, it’s really much cheaper."
The waiter felt that was enough and didn’t recommend any more dishes to Yang Chen and Zhao Yun.
The two casually picked a few side dishes, and that was all for the meal.
After a while, the waiter served the dishes.
Yang Chen didn’t stand on ceremony with Zhao Yun, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
He wanted to test whether they were farm-raised or wild-caught; upon tasting, hey, it was indeed wild-caught.
The taste of wild-caught grouper is noticeably more delicious than that of farm-raised, and frequent diners can tell the difference.
Restaurant dish prices are usually 2-3 times the cost, which means the restaurant was purchasing wild-caught grouper at around 30-40 a pound, which is the price for farm-raised grouper.
Getting wild-caught grouper at farm-raised prices, that’s a steal!
If Baoqing Restaurant and the Peninsula Hotel could find such suppliers, it wouldn’t mean they’d earn more?
As a shareholder, Yang Chen would also get more dividends at year-end, wouldn’t he?
Yang Chen usually doesn’t involve himself in company management; he just hopes to get more dividends at year-end.
When they were almost done eating, Yang Chen discussed business with Zhao Yun.
"Take a look at this person’s info, then we’ll talk," Yang Chen said.
Zhao Yun nodded and carefully reviewed the information on Liu Changxi.
Afterward, she asked, "What does Sister Yang want me to do?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Yang Chen: "I want you to intentionally fall into his trap, secretly film and record your conversation with him. You need to deliberately make him promise you can earn a million daily. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhao Yun: "Oh, I get it. Isn’t this a sting operation?"
Yang Chen: "Haha...it’s not that serious. They’re a scam group exploiting legal loopholes with business goals that are impossible to achieve, tricking some fools. I originally didn’t want to get involved, but this guy insulted me so badly. I’d feel uncomfortable if I don’t put him behind bars!"
Zhao Yun: "He insulted you? Alright! Leave this to me, I’ll make it splendid."
Yang Chen nodded, saying, "I trust your abilities. Give me an account number, and I’ll have someone transfer 100,000 to you; you use this as bait."
Zhao Yun nodded, took her bank card out of her bag.
Yang Chen took a photo and sent it to Yu Shishi, telling her to transfer 100,000 to the card the next day.
After finishing the meal, Yang Chen went to the cashier to pay and quietly asked, "Boss lady, your grouper and lobster are great. I want to buy some to keep at home, any way you can introduce a contact?"
The boss lady replied with a smile, "Handsome, whenever you want to eat, just come over, I’ll have the chef prepare it for you."
Yang Chen: "I live near Ming Pearl Tower, it’s far from here. I just came to visit a patient today, happened to have a meal here, usually, I wouldn’t come over. My brother also opened a restaurant, usually uses farm-raised grouper. If he could, like you guys, provide customers with wild-caught grouper at farm-raised prices, business would definitely be better. Boss lady, could you help make a connection, thank you."
The boss lady hesitated, judging by her reaction; probably the fish didn’t have a clean source.
But earlier, the waiter clearly mentioned Baoqing Restaurant and Peninsula Hotel, Yang Chen couldn’t help but want to figure out where the source is.
At checkout, Yang Chen intentionally entered a wrong number, overpaying by 2000.
"Oops, wrong number entered." Yang Chen said.
The boss lady quickly checked, he indeed overpaid 2000.
She hurriedly said, "No problem, add me as a friend, I’ll transfer it to you."
Yang Chen: "The transfer is done, boss lady just keep it. But, I really want the boss lady to help make a connection. Is that okay?"
The boss lady helplessly rolled her eyes, "Handsome, you sure have a lot of tricks. Okay, I’ll give you a number, you contact him yourself. Whether he’s willing to meet you, or sell you fish, that’s up to you."
Yang Chen: "Alright! Boss lady is pretty and kind, a good person."
The boss lady cheerfully found a number, Yang Chen quickly noted it, then left with Zhao Yun.
For the secret filming and recording, specialized equipment was needed, so Yang Chen took Zhao Yun to find Zhang Xiang, who equipped her with a set.
Because he was worried Zhao Yun couldn’t get the needed evidence, and worried she might make mistakes.
Zhang Xiang even specially taught her some tactics and precautions.
After thorough preparation, Yang Chen then sent Zhao Yun back to school.
Liu Changxi particularly likes to find prey near University City because he thinks students are inexperienced and easy to trick.
