The fish displayed in the trading hall were obviously much more upscale than those on the square outside.
In each large aquarium, there were brightly colored ornantal fish of various kinds, including various types of Arowana, Koi, and more, plentiful in number. Ling Zhenfei only glanced briefly and felt dazzled.
There were also quite a few people entering the hall, but from their attire, Ling Zhenfei could tell that these were definitely the upper echelons of Binyang's society, if not outright tycoons, then certainly well-cultured public figures.
Otherwise, the starting price of the fish being sold at the event, starting at tens of thousands each, could scare away many common folk.
"Young Master Ling, you're here?"
Although Ling Zhenfei had seen these ornantal fish on television before, it was his first ti seeing them in reality. He was intently watching when a familiar voice ca from behind him.
"President Lu!" He turned around and saw Lu Renben approaching him with a beaming smile.
"Young Master Ling, co, co, let introduce soone to you."
By Lu Renben's side, there stood a spirited old man probably in his sixties.
As the two n approached Ling Zhenfei, Lu Renben smiled and introduced him, "Young Master Ling, this is Qiao Zhengyi, Old Qiao, a renowned practitioner of traditional Chinese dicine, and the president of the Binyang Traditional Chinese dicine Association! He owns chains of Traditional Chinese dicine Hospitals and herbal shops in Binyang and other cities in the province, one of the few remaining professors of traditional Chinese dicine in our country!"
After introducing Old Qiao, Lu Renben cheerfully pointed to Ling Zhenfei and said to Old Qiao, "Old Qiao, this is Ling Zhenfei. The dishes we ate last ti were grown by Young Master Ling. Moreover, Young Master Ling is also a master of traditional Chinese dicine with profound skills. You two should definitely exchange more."
"Is that so? Ah, Little Brother Ling, I've heard President Lu ntion you before. I didn't expect you to be so young when we t today!"
Following the introduction, Old Qiao also extended his hand to Ling Zhenfei with a smile.
Hearing that Old Qiao was a practitioner of traditional Chinese dicine, Ling Zhenfei instantly held him in high regard and warmly engaged in a handshake and conversation, exchanging contact numbers.
Aside from traditional Chinese dicine, Old Qiao also had a great passion for fish keeping, and he was one of the organizers of the ornantal fish trading event.
While the three were conversing, so people called Old Qiao and Lu Renben to handle so matters at the event.
"Little Brother Ling, President Lu and I need to take care of so things first. You go around and look around, and pick whatever suits you. President Lu and I both have the authority to offer discounts."
Although there was a significant age difference between Old Qiao and Ling Zhenfei, after just a short conversation, they had beco friends regardless of age. Old Qiao gave a few words of care to Ling Zhenfei and then left sowhat reluctantly with Lu Renben.
"Hey, boss, all these fish are nice, right? Pick one you like, buy one to play with at ho!"
No sooner had Old Qiao and Lu Renben left than Fatty, whistling a tune, waddling with his bulging belly and sauntering over, ca along.
"These fish start at tens of thousands, I can't afford them, better forget about it!"
Looking at the price tags outside the glass aquariums, Ling Zhenfei shook his head. Though he now had millions in assets, this money was ant for investing in building his farm, and he didn't have the luxury to spend it elsewhere.
"Hey, hey, boss, you shouldn't say that. Actually, I think putting a big aquarium at ho and keeping a few fish to watch in your spare ti is really a pleasure! People, after all, need to enjoy life."
Fatty was speaking enthusiastically and realized that Ling Zhenfei was ignoring him. His eyes suddenly rolled, and he stepped forward again and asked, "Boss, aren't you working in agriculture now? Have you ever thought of breeding these high-end fish for sale? There are many wealthy people nowadays who love to buy fancy fish to show off. As long as you can raise high-quality fish, there's no worry about market demand."
Raise fish?
Fatty just blurted sothing out for the sake of conversation. However, while the speaker didn't intend much, the listener took it to heart. Hearing this, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but be moved.
Indeed! Fatty's suggestion was really good!
Ling Zhenfei thought to himself that though he had settled on agriculture as his career, he wasn't limited to just planting. He could venture into aquaculture while growing fruits and vegetables.
And raising fish, especially these high-priced tropical ornantal fish, was indeed a great path!
Although Ling Zhenfei didn't know much about how to raise fish, it didn't affect his soaring enthusiasm at all.
After all, with countless secret techniques in the Marrow Space and abundant Northern Spiritual Energy, Ling Zhenfei was fully confident in nurturing high-quality ornantal fish.
"Hey, boss, what's up? Why are you staring at like that?"
Fatty was babbling away when he suddenly looked up and saw Ling Zhenfei staring at him unblinkingly, so he stopped talking abruptly and looked at Ling Zhenfei in astonishnt.
"It's nothing, Fatty. I think your proposal is quite good, worth considering!"
Ling Zhenfei was montarily stunned, then imdiately chuckled and patted Fatty on the shoulder, saying with a smile.
Without waiting for Fatty to react, he walked back to the venue, intending to pick a few good fish to try raising them first.
"Hey, boss, don't walk so fast, wait for . When it cos to selecting fish, I have expert-level skills. You can't develop a fish farming business without …"
Seeing Ling Zhenfei stride off quickly, Fatty hurriedly scurried after him.
Fatty claid to have expert-level skills, but clearly, he was just boasting. The venue had several major types and more than a hundred minor types of ornantal fish; just looking could dazzle soone.
Fatty might recognize a few very common types of fish, but as for those flashy, brightly colored types, Fatty hadn't even seen them before.
However, Ling Zhenfei had never expected Fatty to pick the fish by himself from the beginning. He took a walk around the venue and noticed that many fish enthusiasts were particularly fond of Arowana, so he decided to start with Arowana.
There are nurous types of Arowana, including the Gold Dragon, Silver Dragon, Red Dragon, Azure Dragon, and Black Dragon, with nurous subspecies under each type.
Ling Zhenfei walked into the Arowana display area, gazing at the various Arowana swaying their heads and tails in the tanks, his eyes dazzled for a mont.
"Boss, planning to raise Arowana? Arowana is great, big, good-looking, and majestic. People in the south call this a fortune fish; bringing one ho guarantees a smooth flow of wealth. Wealthy people love raising these!"
Fatty followed Ling Zhenfei all the way, and seeing him stop in the Arowana display area, Fatty imdiately beca enthusiastic and stepped forward, pretending to be an expert.
But Ling Zhenfei didn't pay attention to him, his attention was clearly captured by a Golden Arowana in a large fish tank in front of him.
This Golden Arowana, whether in size or the vibrancy of its body, definitely did not fall short of its kind next to it. But what puzzled Ling Zhenfei was that its price was obviously lower than all the other fish around.
