Chapter 146 - 146 146 Reminder

146: Chapter 146 Reminder 146: Chapter 146 Reminder “Haha, I knew Brother Feng was solid, already got us prepared!

How much?

I’ll send you a red packet!” Qiangzi happily opened up the bait to examine it.

“What’s this talk of money?

Just take it and help me test out its effectiveness!” Yue Feng shook his head and didn’t pick up on the hint at all.

Liu Fengnian looked up at Yue Feng and examined the bait for a moment before slowly beginning to speak, “In business, what kind of logic is there to take stock for free from a shop that’s selling it?

These are all Yellow powder and Marukyu, not some new gimmick that needs testing, and they didn’t come cheap.

Can’t just take them for nothing, at the very least pay the cost price!”

Wei Liang also echoed in agreement, “Liu’s right, business is business, how can we not charge money?

We must protect our capital!”

Hearing this stance, Yue Feng felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Although there was no fault in the logic, Yue Feng felt that being so calculative made friendships a bit strained.

In Yue Feng’s simple understanding, his buddies had helped him out so much, so giving away some bait was no big deal.

Before Yue Feng could open his mouth, Liu Fengnian continued, “How much?

If it’s free, we’re not using it!

Hurry up and don’t dawdle!”

Seeing Liu’s reaction, Yue Feng felt too awkward to insist and casually said, “Ten yuan per jin, thirty for a bag.”

This price was already close to the cost, and if you really were to calculate strictly, you might even lose a tiny bit.

They hastily paid the money and then took the bait to their car.

“Remember to get up early tomorrow, we’re going to see the boss of Black Pit drop fish.

I’m off!” After a brief visit, Liu and Qiangzi left the shop without sticking around much longer.

Watching the three of them leave, Yue Feng felt increasingly uneasy about the day’s events, finding it incomprehensible why Big Brother Liu had such a strong reaction over something as trivial as bait.

However, his puzzlement didn’t last long.

Less than an hour later, Liu Fengnian gave Yue Feng a call.

“Hello, Brother Liu!” Yue Feng answered the phone.

“Is it convenient to talk?”

“Yeah, just me in the shop!”

“Do you know why I insisted on paying money in front of them this afternoon?” Liu went straight to the point as always.

“I really can’t figure it out, it’s not something valuable.

Compared to how you guys usually help me, this stuff is trivial!”

With no one else present, Yue Feng’s way of speaking became a lot more casual, saying exactly what was on his mind.

“I knew it, you haven’t thought it through!

Business is business, and friendship is friendship, they’re two different things!

Normally, we reciprocate as friends, and if we encounter a similar situation, you wouldn’t hesitate to help us in return.

But business needs to look like business, not to be confused with friendship.

Not charging for the bait this time?

What about next time?

Still not charging?

What about the next new product?

Do we charge or not?

How do we define the standard for when to charge?

How would others feel about this ambiguous standard?

You must realize you’re running a business, not a charity!”

“Er, isn’t that a bit much?

I don’t think there’s a need to delineate it so clearly!” Yue Feng said softly.

“The old saying goes: mercy doesn’t make a leader, and righteousness doesn’t raise an army – there’s truth in that!

What I want to remind you of is the discretion in dealing with friends, not the small matter of giving away bait!

If you can’t manage that discretion properly, it might lead to uncontrollable troubles later on.

Better to set the rules and principles of conduct from the very beginning!”

“In the afternoon, I insisted on paying, Qiangzi being young didn’t really feel anything, but why did Wei Liang keep agreeing?

It’s because he runs his own business and knows the underlying principles behind these superficial matters; if you want relationships to last, you’ve got to follow these rules!”

“Uh, I get it!” Yue Feng understood the meaning behind Brother Liu’s words and nodded in agreement.

“You, sometimes you’re astute, sharper than anyone when it matters.

But then you’re truly adorably clueless at times.

Don’t just humor me with your words, think over this when you’re free, whether what I’m telling you makes sense!”

“Let’s move on from this.

For the second matter, we just finished checking on the fish stocking, and the fish are quite uniform in size, averaging about two and a half pounds each, looking healthy!

According to Xiao He, by evening we had roughly forty-seven or forty-eight sign-ups, tomorrow should be a good show!

Get up early for the meet-up!”

“Okay!”

After hanging up, an unexpected system notification sounded.

Ding!

Congratulations on gaining a deeper understanding of interpersonal relationships and business principles!

Lottery Points +2000!

Brother Liu’s words were a wake-up call for Yue Feng, who, upon reflection, realized that there was indeed truth to them.

Yue Feng had simply made a hasty decision without fully considering all aspects since he was in the thick of it.

After their call ended, the system unexpectedly awarded two thousand points as a reward, which came as an unexpected bonus.

…

Having confirmed the arrangements for tomorrow’s proper fishing event, Yue Feng recorded a teaser and uploaded it to his homepage space.

With several days gone by without any live broadcasting, the fan group was getting restless, so the broadcast was a good way to steady the fans.

Live broadcast announcement!

Tomorrow morning at seven sharp, fishing for Carp at Black Pit, 500 tickets, 100 pounds per person!

The teaser was extremely short, only giving details about the time of the broadcast and a general idea of the fishing conditions.

Yue Feng didn’t even show his face—it couldn’t have been briefer.

But not long after uploading it, when he checked back on the data for the post, Yue Feng could hardly believe it.

Such a brief teaser, yet in less than ten minutes, it had already surpassed five hundred likes, over two hundred reshares, and more than a hundred comments.

Dammit, you’ve finally shown up!

I thought the reservoir trip had disassembled Feng Bro altogether!

The guy above, be more confident; just think they went fishing for two!

Feng Bro, everyone’s been spreading that you and Doll had more going on after the offline fishing date.

Have you been busy “entertaining” the lady these past two days?

The use of “entertaining” is so masterful, caught off guard, I feel like I’ve been taken for a ride!

We’ll know tomorrow when the live begins, don’t show up having lost three days’ worth of weight, it’s got to be the nutrition hasn’t kept up!

There’s no soil that goes bad, only oxen that die of exhaustion!

Feng Bro, take care of your health!

I’ve received the notice; the like squad is already preparing for battle!

A simple broadcast notice, and the comment section quickly fell to various bits of gossip, with the core focus being rumors about Yue Feng and Doll.

Fame has its price, just like pigs fear being fattened.

In the past, Yue Feng would have been happy to see this much activity on a post in a day, but now a single post in such a short time got so hot that the system rules pushed it onto the regional hotspot.

Yue Feng took the playful remarks from the netizens in stride, laughing them off.

He had a live broadcast early the next morning and went to bed early after washing up, readying himself for tomorrow’s battle.
