It makes sense; with such a great rod, there’s no worry about sales. Each one costs Seventy-Two Thousand, which is a bit painful for me, but for those already famous as Fishermen or big influencers, it’s really nothing. Those people have companies backing them, and a hundred thousand Eighty Thousand is just pocket change!
“Give me six of the Seven Point Two rods and six of the Eight Meters rods! Do you have the Xingpai Line set here? Also, throw in a few spools of line and some hooks! Since I can’t buy the Customized Rod, I’ll just get a few sets of the Ordinary Rod to equip the rest of my team.”
Last time at Old Gao’s, the rods were six thousand each. He didn’t dare buy more than two to try them out first, thinking if they were good, he’d buy more later. But in the end, he couldn’t bring himself to spend that money!
Now that he found a good deal, he didn’t hold back. Two rods each for everyone, buying six sets at once meant he’d have a spare set too. Altogether, it still cost less than what he would have spent on one set from Old Gao!
The total came to seventy-two hundred. Buy rods and get Line Setup and hooks included. Since you’re buying so many rods at once, I’ll throw in a few extra sets of hooks for you! You won’t need to buy hooks again! Sun Lang took twelve rods from the shelf and placed them on the counter while starting to look for Line Setup and Hooks for Liu Lei.
The Line Setup was straightforward—one rod came with one spool of line and one set of line. The hooks were given out freely; Ise Nii, Qian You, Kanto—he gave away dozens of packs and even brought Liu Lei hundreds of various San Gou hooks.
Sun Lang was generous, but Liu Lei’s eyelids twitched. These hooks sold for twenty per pack at Old Gao’s place, and here they were giving away dozens of sets! Even the line was given away in bulk! How much had he been ripped off by Old Gao?
“Black-hearted Old Gao, just wait! I’m coming to settle the score with you!”
Watching Sun Lang pile everything on the counter, Liu Lei hurriedly scanned the payment code, fearing Sun Lang might change his mind!
Holding onto his rods and carrying a large bag of freebies back to the car, just as he was about to start driving away, Sun Lang ran out with a box and blocked his car.
“Oh no, did I run too slowly? Are they having second thoughts?”
He lowered the car window slightly and pulled out his phone to show the payment record: “I’ve already paid! Look at this payment record!”
Liu Lei’s words stunned Sun Lang. Who cares about your payment record? A quick scan of the cash register system prompted a voice notification—why would I need to look at your record?
“Open the door; there are freebies! We’re running a promotion—buy rods and get kitchen knives! You bought twelve rods; I’ll give you twelve sets of kitchen knives!” Sun Lang yanked open Liu Lei’s passenger door and tossed a box full of knives into it.
“Count them yourself! Once you leave the store, we take no responsibility. Don’t come back complaining if something’s missing!” After saying this, he helped Liu Lei close the car door and turned back toward the store.
“No responsibility after leaving? Then let’s get out of here quickly!” A few kitchen knives didn’t bother Liu Lei; he was worried that this clerk might change his mind later about all those freebies. He hurriedly drove off several kilometers first!
With a press on the gas pedal, Liu Lei parked in front of Old Gao’s store. Turning to look at the kitchen knives in the passenger seat, he thought he should bring Old Gao a little gift!
He picked up one knife from the passenger seat, opened its packaging to weigh it in his hand—it felt a bit light! But it would be enough as a gift for Old Gao!
Getting out of the car and moving to the passenger side, he opened the door and placed the unpackaged knife on top of the box. Liu Lei then picked up the box and kicked shut the passenger door with a cold smile as he turned to see Old Gao running out from inside.
“Hey there, Brother Liu! I saw your video yesterday; weren’t you in Beihai? I even gave you a thumbs-up! What brings you back today?” As he approached Liu Lei, Old Gao greeted him warmly.
Seeing Liu Lei’s expression was off and glancing at the box filled with kitchen knives made Old Gao squint his eyes. With a quick motion, he snatched up one of the knives from the box.
“Just dropping by? What gifts did you bring? This box seems heavy; do you need help carrying it?”
Old Gao was quite skilled; thinking that bringing an ordinary kitchen knife would intimidate him was too naive on Liu Lei's part!
The kitchen knife fell into Old Master’s hands, and this time Old Gao smirked coldly.
"What’s wrong, Brother Liu? Who has upset you? Your face looks terrible." Holding the kitchen knife, Old Gao twirled it in his hand, a half-smile playing at the corners of his mouth as he stared at Liu Lei.
Liu Lei felt a surge of anger that had been building up all the way here vanish without a trace the moment the knife landed in Old Master’s hands. He had rehearsed in his mind several times how to pin Old Gao down and teach him a lesson, but before he could even start, everything fell apart!
He turned and opened the passenger door, placing the box of kitchen knives back inside, gently closing the door behind him. Taking a deep breath, he headed toward Old Gao’s shop.
For ten thousand yuan to kill someone, only a madman would do it. Old Gao was no fool; he was shrewd and ruthless. Besides, given their previous relationship, even though the knife had fallen into Old Master’s hands, Liu Lei knew he was still completely safe.
"Old Gao, yesterday I ran into a few Fishing Buddies. They had rods just like mine, but they were only six hundred bucks each! With all our friendship, you really shouldn’t be doing this to your brother!"
There is always a gap between ideals and reality. Just now, looking at Old Gao’s imposing figure, even with the knife in his hand, Liu Lei knew he could only reason with him calmly.
Old Gao wasn’t surprised by Liu Lei’s words; he had already heard about Shi Tian’s shop. Since they both mingled in the Fishing Circle and the two shops weren’t far apart, he had even sent someone to buy rods from there a few times before, then resold them at a high price to those competing in tournaments. This also boosted sales for hooks and line setups in his own shop.
"You bought rods from me last month; that shop just opened this month. At that time, they had no intention of selling those rods. I only managed to get them to sell me two because I did them a favor!"
As he spoke, Old Gao tossed the kitchen knife onto the counter and stood up to stare at Liu Lei. "When I sold you those two rods, did you see any like that on the market?"
"Besides," he continued, "you’ve been using that rod for a month now. Honestly speaking, is it worth six thousand?"
After giving Liu Lei a hard time, Old Gao brewed him a pot of tea and pressed him down into a chair with an air of grievance. "You came asking me to help you buy rods. I transferred the money right in front of you; for those two rods, I didn’t make a single cent off you! And now you’re coming back to me for an account?"
