The Supreme Village Doctor

Chapter 72: Chapter 73: Gathering Information

Li Yang chuckled and immediately pulled up his fishing rod.

In an instant, he had already reeled in a fish weighing over two pounds.

"You’re that good?" Xia Lian was dumbfounded.

Li Yang laughed heartily. He took a look at the fish. "Not bad, not bad at all. A big grass carp. Aunt Lian, make sure you’re recording this!"

After speaking, Li Yang cast his line again.

A few minutes later, a carp was on the hook.

Li Yang was getting hooked on fishing.

In less than an hour, he had already caught five grass carp and two common carp.

"Alright, time to go home!" Li Yang said his goodbyes to Xia Lian and left, carrying the fish.

Back home, he first recorded another video, then released the fish into a small pond not far from his house, and finally started editing the footage.

Fortunately, in this day and age, there was user-friendly software for everything. Even video editing could be learned in no time.

Soon, Li Yang had finished editing the video and uploaded it to the forum.

"Come and see! This is the fishing spot from my first post today. Am I awesome or what!"

A video is so much more convincing than a picture.

He couldn’t believe that these veteran anglers wouldn’t be tempted after seeing him catch several fish in just one hour!

After posting it, Li Yang went to make and eat dinner.

After dinner and finishing his chores, it was already around eight o’clock. Li Yang headed to the small clinic.

’No matter what, I’m still the village doctor here. I have to go man the post for a while.’

"Xiaoyang, what were you up to today?" a villager asked, unable to contain his curiosity upon seeing Li Yang. "Fishing?"

Li Yang chuckled, nodded, and said, "That’s right, I was fishing..."

As he spoke, he took out his phone to check the forum. The moment he logged in, he was stunned.

Over three hundred replies and more than a hundred private messages were all flashing on his screen.

Li Yang was dumbfounded.

’So many people. It looks like my strategy was a huge success.’

He opened it and skimmed through the messages. He found they were either posts of envy and likes, or questions about the location.

Li Yang was thrilled.

The private messages were basically all asking where this spot was and if they could come fish there too.

Li Yang remained calm.

’With this many people, I can fill a bus.’

But he couldn’t post organizational information on the forum, as the admins would delete it. So, he first created a group for fishing enthusiasts and then personally replied to each private message with the group ID.

Not long after he started replying, dozens of people began applying to join the group.

Li Yang smiled smugly and began approving the applications.

"Group Admin, where were you fishing? Is it really that easy to catch fish there?"

"Yeah, I want to come too! Can you tell us the location?"

"Hurry up, I’m free to go fishing tomorrow!"

...

People had just joined, and messages were already flooding in nonstop.

Only then did Li Yang have a chance to look at the group chat. "Do you all want to come fishing? If so, you can register with me, and I’ll see when I can arrange for everyone to come together."

"Is the Group Admin a trip organizer?" someone immediately asked.

"I wasn’t before, but since everyone is so interested, what’s the harm in being one?" Li Yang said with a smile. "You all can come and give it a try."

"I’ll sign up..."

The group members eagerly signed up. Before long, more than ninety people had registered.

’Over ninety people... that’s two busloads.’

Li Yang was grinning from ear to ear.

Meanwhile, Liu Jinsheng was also drawn to the post. The moment he clicked on the video, he had a bad feeling.

’This... is way too good at attracting anglers.’

Sure enough, by the time he finished watching the video, he saw that people were going crazy, pushing the thread to over three hundred replies!

’Damn!’

Liu Jinsheng started to panic.

Soon, he had also joined the group.

Seeing so many people eagerly signing up, Liu Jinsheng felt like dying.

The fishing community was only so big. If this guy poached everyone, how was he supposed to make a living? He was probably poaching his own customers.

"Brother..." Liu Jinsheng sent Li Yang a private message. "I admit my price was too low before. How about we discuss a partnership again?"

Li Yang just smiled when he saw Liu Jinsheng’s private message.

"Boss Liu, your price is way too low!" Li Yang replied.

"Yes, yes, it was indeed too low. How about this: I’ll give you twenty yuan per meal?"

’Twenty yuan for a meal?’

Li Yang started laughing. ’What are you thinking?’

"Alright, a 70-30 split—I get seventy, you get thirty! We’ll partner up!" Seeing that Li Yang wasn’t replying, Liu Jinsheng knew the situation was dire. He could only grit his teeth and propose the partnership.

"That’s more like it. But normally, how much do you charge per person?" Li Yang asked nonchalantly.

"One hundred and twenty yuan per person, including food and transportation," Liu Jinsheng replied.

’Damn, what a profiteer!’

’I was lowballing it at one hundred yuan. This guy actually charges one-twenty.’

’Impressive!’

"And the bus? Who do you rent it from? How much is the rental fee?"

"From the Donghu Passenger Station. You just have to find their Manager Niu. That station doesn’t have much passenger traffic, so they’re willing to rent out their buses to us. The daily fee, including gas, is one thousand five hundred yuan, and that includes the driver." Liu Jinsheng, completely unguarded, told him everything in an attempt to win Li Yang’s trust.

’A bus holds about fifty people. At one hundred and twenty yuan per person, that’s six thousand yuan.’

’Subtract one thousand five hundred, and you’re left with four thousand five hundred. Even after subtracting the cost of meals, the profit is still nearly four thousand!’

’Damn!’

’Such insane profits!’

Without a moment’s hesitation, Li Yang deleted him.

"Brother..." Liu Jinsheng was still sending messages, but in the next instant, he saw that his outgoing message had turned red.

’Holy crap, he deleted me!’
