He sighed, "No more chit-chat. I have my own plan, and it's enough for me! I still need to give Old Liu a heads-up; he mentioned it last time, and I can't leave him hanging!"
After hanging up with Lao Li, Wang Ergou immediately called Old Liu.
As he tucked his phone into his pocket, Lao Li checked his stash of cash and began to calculate. He definitely wanted to get that Rod set, but his savings were a bit tight! It seemed like it was time for his car to break down again.
"Hey, dear, could you transfer me a thousand bucks? Since tomorrow is the weekend, I want to fix my car. The steering wheel had some issues on my way home today; I almost veered into the flowerbed!"
After pondering for a moment, Lao Li leisurely walked out of the bedroom and addressed his wife, who was watching TV.
His wife didn’t have a driver’s license and couldn’t drive, so if he wanted to make some money, it had to come from the car!
"Steering wheel issues? The car's broken? Should I call my cousin to fix it?" Sister Li quickly turned around to ask upon hearing about the steering wheel problem.
The steering wheel was a serious matter; if it wasn’t stable, how could they drive the car?
"Don’t mention your cousin! He’s a novice; last time I asked him to change a tire, he messed up the brakes! I don’t even want to bother him! Come on, dear, let me show you!"
To pry some money from his wife, he needed a bit of acting skills.
He took Sister Li downstairs and got into the car. "Watch this! I'm turning the steering wheel all the way to the right now. Let’s slowly move forward; the wheel will turn left by itself. I’m so scared that I can’t even take my hands off the wheel!"
He drove the car out of the parking space and then backed it in again. A thousand bucks would be in his account in no time. What if something else went wrong next time? Maybe the wipers were leaking? He’d have to mix ink with glass water for that! It was quite a dilemma!
Returning to the bedroom, he called Wang Ergou again. The line was busy; was he calling Old Liu or Old Zhao?
After dialing for twenty minutes straight, he finally got through.
"Dog Brother, where are we meeting tomorrow? I need a set! At your place downstairs?"
After what felt like an eternity in the restroom, Wang Ergou finally returned!
"Xiao Tian, I need five sets of Rods tomorrow. I’ll take them to the store first thing in the morning; just don’t let Wo Liao know in front of them; I'll come back later to pick them up!"
He greeted Chuan Ge, who had just sat down, and quickly confirmed with Shi Tian. "By the way, Sun Lang is going to hold a Bait Contest tomorrow morning while I'm at the store; I'll bring them over then!" He clinked a beer can with Wang Ergou and Shi Tian eagerly agreed.
"You were just in the restroom making calls!" Upon hearing Wang Ergou's words, Long Xia immediately realized what had happened.
He had been too greedy earlier; wanting to eat more fish had allowed Wang Ergou to seize the opportunity first!
Lao Li, Old Liu, Old Zhao, and Old Wang had all received calls from him already; if you call now, don’t bother with those guys! With a smug smile, Wang Ergou reminded Long Xia.
They shared quite a few mutual Fishing Buddies among them; Wang Ergou had picked out all the best ones during this time, which made Long Xia feel a bit envious.
"You dog!" Wang Ergou shot back, and Lobster pulled out his phone, starting to type furiously on the table. If this continued, Xia Shou would only be left with soup!
The antics of the two left Hai and Chuan Ge a bit dumbfounded. What were these two up to? Were they having an internal conflict? Perhaps this was a good opportunity to pull Lobster into the Da Gui Pai and leave Wang Ergou as a lone commander?
After a hearty meal, it was already deep into the night when they headed home. This was no time for sleep; tomorrow, many people would definitely come to buy Rods. While Yun Wan'er and Shi Chui were asleep, he needed to quickly stock up!
Shi Tian was busy preparing for tomorrow's restocking at the shop and had also ordered a large batch of materials online. The Fishing Box had been upgraded, which meant that the production of Rods would increase, allowing for more materials to be stocked!
Unfortunately, it was already winter, and the northern Fishermen had gone into hibernation. If he opened an online store now, most orders would likely come from the south! It seemed that everything was concentrated in the two provinces of Guangdong and Fujian, as well as Hainan.
However, the online buzz was crazy; the White-Finned Dolphin had made an appearance. The footage was clear, and it had even been verified on the Hook. The seven o'clock segment aired for five minutes—this was a rare sight indeed.
Currently, along the Qi River, there was a person every few dozen meters. They weren't there to prevent anyone from fishing for the White-Finned Dolphin; in fact, no one would dare try. The reason so many people were gathered here was that they were worried about the star that had been caught last night. If it surfaced, they wanted to be able to spot it in time and perhaps rescue it!
However, the chances of that happening were slim. After all, Single Hook Brother's Hook had only snagged the star by its jaw and lacked barbs; when released, the star had seemed to be in good condition.
With the star making its appearance on television and dominating online trends, Shi Tian's investment in trending topics hadn't gone to waste. The star's name had been set rather haphazardly! With the video airing on CCTV, there was no chance of changing it now!
