"What?"
Hearing Qin Shanchuan’s words, even Zhu Tianfu was incredibly astonished. He shot to his feet and asked, "Have you verified it?"
He had just assud that if they caught thirteen Bluefin Tuna at once, the fish wouldn’t be very large.
But the smallest one weighed over 220 pounds! Even the smallest one could fetch a price of several million at auction! That could easily be a centerpiece item! And now there were thirteen of them, with the largest weighing a staggering 550 pounds!
If these were all put together and promoted, the sensation they caused would absolutely dwarf that of the previous Precious Wentletrap!
So far this year, no one had caught a Bluefin Tuna weighing over 220 pounds.
"Director, these are the pictures Li Yang took!"
Qin Shanchuan quickly showed the pictures to Zhu Tianfu.
After looking at them, Zhu Tianfu’s face also lit up with joy. He said, "Shanchuan, go make the arrangents imdiately. Also, call Li Yang and tell him that if he auctions all thirteen Bluefin Tuna with us, we won’t charge him any commission fees!"
Qin Shanchuan nodded as well. "Director, I’ll go to Coastal City myself!"
It was only a few hours’ drive from Xuan City to Coastal City, and Li Yang’s fishing boat also needed a few hours to return to shore.
Qin Shanchuan could easily get there by the ti the fishing boat returned.
...
With the matter settled, Li Yang was also very happy.
’Once the boat is back ashore and Uncle Qin takes the tuna, all I’ll have to do is wait for the money to roll in!’
At that mont, Li Yang felt the pressure on his shoulders vanish completely!
’My father can live for at least a few more months, and in just a few days, I’ll earn a hundred million! The Anticancer Agent is practically within my grasp!’
Beside Li Yang, Sun Datao was taking pictures with his phone. He had just looked up the price of Bluefin Tuna in detail and was extrely excited.
After taking the photos, Sun Datao sent them to their class group chat.
"Haha, everyone, look what Brother Li’s fishing boat caught!"
The mont the ssage was sent, many classmates started replying.
Previously, Li Yang had caught so many large yellow croakers and sold them for over ten million, which had made them all incredibly envious.
"Sun Datao, is that a tuna?"
"No, wait, that fish looks like... a Bluefin Tuna!"
"Oh my god, it really is! Sun Datao, did Li Yang really catch Bluefin Tuna?"
"What’s a Bluefin Tuna? Is it expensive?"
"What do you think? I heard that over in Japan, a 616-pound Bluefin Tuna was once auctioned off for the astronomical price of over twenty million!"
"Holy crap, twenty million for one fish? Is the world crazy, or am I just naive?"
In a short ti, the replies from classmates kept flooding in.
Sun Datao was thrilled. Li Yang had a calm personality and didn’t like to show off, but he was going to show off for him.
The key thing was that these fish would definitely be sold, so it was fine to spread the news.
Besides, Li Yang had already made the call. As soon as the boat docked, the fish would be taken away by the Xuan City auction house, so there was no harm in him bragging a little.
Sun Datao replied, "They’re Bluefin Tuna. Brother Li caught thirteen of them this ti. We just weighed them, and the biggest one is 554 pounds!"
When that ssage went out, the entire class group chat erupted!
"Damn, thirteen Bluefin Tuna! Li Yang is really going to be rich!"
"A 616-pound Bluefin Tuna went for over twenty million, so a 554-pound one has to be worth at least ten million! Plus the other twelve... Oh my god, I can’t even imagine!"
"Sun Datao, ask Brother Li if his boat needs more crew! I’m dropping out of school, I just want to follow Brother Li."
"Ahhh, I’ve decided! I’m going to start chasing after Li Yang like crazy."
"Get lost, Li Yang is mine!"
...
The classmates went completely wild, driven into a frenzy by the Bluefin Tuna.
The large yellow croakers before had already made them see Li Yang in a new light, and the Bluefin Tuna took it to another level.
In such a short ti, Li Yang was on his way to becoming a multimillionaire.
The girls in the class group chat were kicking themselves with regret. In high school, they’d had crushes on Li Yang, but at most, they’d only expressed a little interest without taking any real action. The boldest move any of them had made was writing him a love letter.
But if they had known about Li Yang’s current situation, they would have definitely chased after him relentlessly.
As the saying goes, it’s easy for a woman to win a man’s heart; maybe one of them would have succeeded.
While Sun Datao was excitedly chatting and bragging with his classmates, Li Yang was calling his parents, ready to tell them about the Bluefin Tuna!
It was such great news, of course he had to share it with his parents!
BUZZ...
Before he could make the call, Li Yang’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it and saw it was a call from his mother.
’Did Mom sohow sense my huge catch?’
Seeing the call from Zhao Rou, Li Yang’s face filled with a smile. He answered, ready to report the situation and make his parents happy.
Li Yang knew how much his mother had worried about his father’s illness. A year ago, although Zhao Rou was fifty, she looked like she was in her thirties. She didn’t have a single gray hair and looked very young.
But in just one short year, she had aged a great deal. Countless gray hairs had appeared, and she now looked like she was almost sixty.
She never said anything, but Li Yang knew how deep his parents’ love was, and he knew what kind of burden his mother had been carrying in her heart.
Now, with so much hope for the Anticancer Agent, Li Yang could already picture his mother’s joyful expression.
The call connected. Li Yang was just about to speak when his mother Zhao Rou’s sobbing voice ca through the phone: "Yangyang, your dad... he’s disappeared. He just sent a ssage, telling to live a good life with you and Xiaoxue."
BOOM!
It was like a bolt from the blue. Li Yang froze, his mind roaring. The imnse joy from catching thirteen Bluefin Tuna was instantly washed away without a trace.
