Chapter 379 Bidding
On Monday, Accountant Chen brought the team leader to Nanshanao, measured the land that Li Changle had just bought, laid the boundary stone, and accompanied Li's father to the town to apply for a land use certificate.

The Qian Acong brothers sold fruit at Tuxia Bridge for two days. Before returning, they went to Nanshanao to discuss buying a watch with Li Changle.

Li Changle thought that they were all picked up, and if they could sell them all at once, they would save the trouble of looking for someone else, so he gave Qian Acong a discount of ten yuan for each watch and gave him all the watches.

After the watches were sold, there was only a box of tapes and a tape recorder left at home. I could only wait until the New Year to set up a stall in town to sell them.

Li Changshui got the money from selling the watch and immediately gave the money for buying a house to Grandma Chen. Their old house was so dilapidated that they had to live in the second room when the typhoon hit last time.

Li Asi could only walk a few steps with the help of a cane because of his lame legs. Xu Xianmei also ran away. Li Asi became obedient and helped Li Yufang with longline fishing and net weaving at home.

The brother and sister gave him half a pound of old wine every day and prepared some snacks to go with it. He looked more energetic than when he was out to sea.

In a blink of an eye, it was Thursday. Li Changle and his companions went to the dock early in the morning. When they got there, they found that there were already quite a few people there. Some came to watch the fun, and some came to watch the tide.

Things were fine a few days ago. I could still go to the beach to cast nets and catch fish, and sell them for some money to supplement the family income.

It has been raining every day these past two days, and the wind at night is so strong that it can overturn the grid. If we don't work, we will have no income. The boat owners in the village are so anxious that they are about to curse their mothers.

Li Changle was also anxious. The shops in the town had already been installed and were just waiting to open for business with fresh goods!
As for He Zhenhao, it's already the twelfth day of the lunar calendar, and September 16th is three days away. The fish, shrimps and crabs needed for the wedding banquet are still waiting in the sea for them to catch!

I was planning to stock up more dried goods in autumn and winter, but I haven't stockpiled much. Yesterday, I sent a tractor full of dried goods to Lucheng. I don't know when I can stock up enough.

I originally wanted to take the stone to a few women to make jewelry, but they said they would go to Lucheng together before the New Year and choose the styles they liked.

Brother Li looked at the white waves, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a mosquito. "Didn't the weather forecast say that it would be over today? Why are the waves still so big?"

"The forecast says it's for today and tomorrow. I think we can't go out to sea until tomorrow at the earliest!"

"A Le, have you signed up to buy the warehouse?" A Gen walked over from the other side.

"I've signed up. Let's go join in the fun." Li Changle said with a laugh.

After hearing this, Agen laughed and said, "You are kidding me! I heard that your sister's seafood business is doing quite well. I think you are planning to buy it and open a seafood business."

"I'm just joining in the fun. I'm not the only one who signed up. The starting price is 3,000. Who knows how much it will be in the end?"

"Are you worried that your family can't afford it? A few large items can be exchanged for a basket of ten-yuan bills."

"Don't listen to their nonsense. This is not your first day as a fisherman. The money you earn from selling a few big catches won't fill a basket!"

"Yes, if someone catches a big fish weighing 40 or 50 kilograms, the news spreads from the dock to the village and becomes 100 or 200 kilograms."

"Hey, that's absolutely true!"

"Let's go, Accountant Chen and the others are here, let's go to the brigade office to watch the fun."

After hearing this, Li Changle and others turned around and saw Accountant Chen and the village committee cadres walking towards them, with Secretary Wang and Boss Wang following behind.

Boss Wang quickly glanced at Li Changle, then quickly turned his head to look elsewhere.

When Secretary Wang saw that everyone was greeting Accountant Chen with a smile, he felt jealous. Damn it, they are all people who work hard to get ahead and don't use them.

Even if I'm not the party secretary, I still have a big boat at home, and my life is better than you poor guys.

"A Song, I think that little jerk Li Changle is just joining in the fun. Lao Chen and Lao Li have run the shop for two years, so they have a lot of money. You can just follow them and bid the price later!"

Boss Wang frowned and said, "Just go and do your thing. I know what's going on!"

"Okay! You can do whatever you want!" Secretary Wang rode his bicycle towards Jinxingdeng Village.

Over there, Accountant Chen and his colleagues had already arrived outside the office. Old Li stepped forward and asked, "Accountant Chen, have you received any news? When will this terrible weather pass?"

"I heard from the forecast that the wind will die down today and tomorrow." Accountant Chen turned his head and smiled, "Old Li, you are not going out to sea to fish, why are you in such a hurry?"

"I don't fish because I want to collect fresh produce to sell. If the wind doesn't stop, my family will have to close down."

"You are more anxious than we are. We have nothing to do at home, so we have dug up the mountains and rice fields, and the wind has not stopped yet!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, maybe it will be sunny this afternoon!" Accountant Chen opened his office and said to the villagers who were watching, "Those who haven't signed up for the bid, don't come in!"

Li Changle and four others walked in with Lao Chen, and Lao Li and Boss Wang also followed them in.

Brother Li, Brother Li II, and Chen Yongwei walked to sit against the wall to avoid being disturbed in their bidding.

As soon as everyone sat down, Ah Biao and several villagers shouted outside: "Accountant Chen, the warehouse is the common property of the villagers. Shouldn't the money from the sale be distributed to everyone?"

Accountant Chen waved his hands at the group and said, "I can't decide how to use this money. Let's hold a meeting in the village and let everyone vote on it."

"The village will naturally announce it when the time comes. Stop arguing and let's see how they bid first."

"Yes, yes, yes. We can still ask after they bid!" Everyone gathered at the window to watch the fun.

Accountant Chen and several village committee officials sat on the stage and said to Li Changle and others, "The base price is three thousand yuan. Each time you raise your hand, you can raise the price by fifty yuan. You can also bid your own price. The highest bidder wins.

The deposit must be paid within three days after the bidding. If the deposit is not paid within three days, it will be confiscated and not refunded. "After he said that, he looked at the people below and said, "Everyone understands, let's start the bidding."

"I understand." Li Changle and the others nodded in response. "Begin!"

Old Li glanced at a few people, and seeing that none of them responded, he raised his hand and shouted, "Three thousand one!"

"Three thousand one hundred and fifty!" Li Changle followed suit, and Old Li bid, "Three thousand two!"

Lao Chen and Boss Wang came just to join in the fun. They each raised their hands once and raised the price to three thousand three, and then they remained silent.

Old Li looked at Old Chen strangely, thinking that he had just bought Wang Laokou's shop and might not have much money in his hand.

He knew something about Secretary Wang's affairs. Secretary Wang was willing to spend so much money to get him out. There were really not many people in the village who could do this. He was a very filial son.

The most cunning one is Li Changle. He obviously earns a lot of money, but he complains about being poor to others every day.

Little fox, you can deceive those unsuspecting people in the village, but you can also deceive yourself!

Looks like I have no choice but to fight him today!

Lao Li raised his hand and shouted, "Three thousand three hundred and five!"

"Three thousand and four!" Li Changle immediately followed with a firm attitude.

No matter how much Old Li bid, Li Changle would only bid fifty yuan higher each time, and after a while the price had reached four thousand yuan.

Seeing that Li Changle was still holding on, Old Li hesitated for a moment and raised his hand again, "Four thousand and one!"

Li Changle, who had been paying attention to his expression, saw him start to hesitate, then raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Four thousand five!"

Brother Li and the other two were stunned. Thinking of what he had told them when they came, they forced themselves not to look at him.

Old Li didn't expect that he would raise the price by four hundred at once. He turned his head in surprise and looked at Li Changle. The two looked at each other for several seconds. Seeing that he still looked determined to win, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Thinking about how this guy had been following him since he started bidding, increasing the price by fifty, he raised the price to four thousand five. How much should he bid?
Mr. Li was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He couldn't decide whether to raise the price or not. Even if he did, what would be the appropriate price?
While he was hesitating, the team leader had already called out 4,500 for the second time. Before he could make up his mind, he had already called out the third time.

The team leader said into the microphone: "Three warehouses at Shatou Village Wharf...were won by our villager Li Changle!"

Li Changle grinned and said to Old Li: "Uncle Li, thank you for letting me!"

Old Li felt mixed emotions, his lips moved a few times, and he asked, "Ah Le, you really don't know how to run a seafood store!"

Li Changle glanced at Lao Chen, and seeing him nod slightly, he sneered, "Don't worry, as long as Chen's at the dock, I won't open it!"

You know I bought it and I don't run a seafood store, but you still compete with me for it. I'd feel sorry for the extra thousand dollars I spent if I didn't say something back at you.

"That's good, that's good!" Old Li suddenly felt that his question was unnecessary, and with a wry smile he pushed open the door and walked out.

"A Le, congratulations! Congratulations!" Boss Wang stood up and handed him a cigarette and said.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Li Changle replied politely.

"You're welcome!" Boss Wang looked at him deeply, turned around and walked outside.

Li Changle understood the meaning in his eyes, smiled faintly, exchanged a few words with Old Chen who came to congratulate him, and went forward to handle the formalities.

The people watching outside started to discuss loudly, "Our fishermen are really brave. They fished 400 at once and frightened Old Li. Otherwise, he would have shouted for several more rounds."

"Fuck, I have to hesitate for a long time to buy a pack of good cigarettes, but Ah Le gets 400 yuan just by raising his hand. Driving a big ship is a way to make money."

"One of their boats costs more than 10,000 yuan and can withstand a force eight gale. When the wind speed drops to force six or seven, they dare to go out to sea. We can only watch."

"When they were sailing in small boats, they caught more fish than us every time they went out to sea. Even when they were fishing with lights, they caught more fish than us."

"That's right. The Ale brothers are also very righteous people. Every time we ask them, they will tell us how to catch more fish."

"His family is pretty good. My mother has been helping him kill fish and has earned dozens of dollars!"

"I heard that Li Changle and his brothers bought all the plots of land outside their new house and used them to harden and dry dried fish. Is that true?"

"Really? I saw the team leader and Accountant Chen measuring the foundation. They spent more than two thousand just on that piece of land."

"Kill Jia! I think his family must have gotten the treasure in the sea."

"I don't know if he caught any treasure, but I heard that he caught two big fish and a moon fish..."

"My goodness, such good luck, it's time for this person to get rich!"

At this time, Li Changle and his brothers also completed the formalities and came out. Agen smiled and said:

"Ah Le, after buying such a big warehouse, why don't you treat everyone to some good cigarettes?"

"Okay!" Li Changle agreed readily. Several people took out the three or five cigarettes they had brought with them when they went out in the morning and gave one to each villager present.
