“I didn’t think your Arowana would attract so much attention. It looks like the chances of your Arowana winning thepetition is quite high,” Jin Hua said with some surprise when the exhibition closed for the day.
“Heh, it’s still hard to say who will win!” Chu Xian shook his head slightly.
“Haha, it’s pretty much decided. I heard from many ornamental fish lovers that they think one of your Arowana will be the champion this time. The Singaporean Saintly Dragon’s Arowana are obviously not as good as yours. Both the Rajah Cicsomas and stingrays of Taiwan Cloud Group are only worth about one million, and even though the ornamental fish of Germany’s Primordial are all rare and unique, they rarely take first ce. This time, Japan’s Saikewei Koi Fish Farm is your mainpetitor, and even though each of their Koi Fish is worth a lot, most of the ornamental fish lovers think more highly of your Arowana. I think you have a seventy percent chance of winning first ce!” Jin Hua said to Chu Xian.
“Oh?” Chu Xian nodded slightly; it was possible.
“The two Arowana together are worth more than ten million RMB. Tsk tsk, it looks like Xiao Xian will soon be a billionaire,” Jin Sen joked with some jealousy. After all, Chu Xian earned the money all by himself – even a rich second generation kid like Jin Sen was jealous.
“Hehe, it’s still too early to tell.” Chu Xian shook his head, but his heart was full of expectations.
The second day at precisely 9 am, all the fish farms participating in the exhibition arrived early. Today, theyout of the exhibition center was different.
The aquariums filled with water were ced in the center, and none of them were normal. There were little mountains and nts inside, and all of them were very beautiful. Chairs filled the surrounding area, and a long table was ced prominently at the front with name tags for the judges.
[The firstpetition is for the equipment.] Chu Xian thought, looking at the artistic aquariums.
After a moment, a staff member walked over to him and gave him a tagbeled “Ornamental Fish in Paradise” and told him some rules.
Shortly after, the judges walked in. The nine judges were from China, Japan, Singapore, America, Korea and other countries. Together, they made up the most powerful authority of aquariums in the world.
At nine thirty, many visitors came in and sat on the surrounding chairs.
“The 28th Aquarama of Ornamental Fish and Equipment Competition...” A staff member began speaking and performed many official things like introducing the judges and thanking the visitors for their support. Finally, the evaluation of the aquariums began.
Evaluating the equipment was much easier than evaluating ornamental fish. After just half an hour ofparing the functions and decorations, a champion was produced – a manufacturer called Dragon g Ornamental Fish Equipment Producer.
“Thepetitions for ornamental fish are about to begin. They normally start with the low-level fish like shrimp, sea ornamental fish, goldfish, Angelfish, Rajah Cicsomas, and Stingrays. Arowana and Koi Fish are usually in thestpetition,” a middle-aged man named Hu Chuan exined.
Chu Xian nodded as staff ced some beautiful, colorful shrimp on the table.
The shrimp were very small. The judges went up one by one, introducing their species and characteristics to the audience. In the end, a Procambarus rkii Crayfish from Primordial won. The entire shrimp was blue and extremely pretty.
And as expected, Germany’s Primordial also won first ce in sea ornamental fish with their Lionfish.
A Korean fish farm won thepetition for goldfish. Chu Xian paid a lot of attention to thispetition – after all, he made his first fortune with goldfish.
This fish farm won with a “Brown Oranda with Red Head” goldfish.
Chu Xian knew a lot about the extremely rare Brown Oranda with Red Head. This fish had a bubble-like hood on its head and a developed back fin. The body, fin, and tail were all dark brown. Its most unique feature was its dark red head. The color was vivid, mixed red and purple – very attractive and pretty. Its eyes, nasal membrane, and mouth were ck, and from the front, it looked very simr to the na?ve and lively face of a baby, so some people called it “baby goldfish.”
This kind of goldfish was worth anywhere from five to eight hundred thousand RMB; it was extremely rare and precious. Because it had many different colors on its body, Chu Xian couldn’t find a substitute fish to remold, much to his disappointment and regret.
The winner of the angelfishpetition was a fish farm from Singapore. The winner of the Rajah Cicsomaspetition was the Taiwan Cloud Group, and first ce for the Stingrays was also unquestionably the Taiwan Cloud Group.
“Okay. Next will be the mainpetition. Here are the most popr Arowanapeting for first ce. I’ve heard there are a few extremely precious Arowana here!”
“Thepetition for Arowana is about to begin. This time, the Tyrant Saintly Dragon Fish Farm is going to lose!”
“Heehee, the champion for Arowana has already been decided. I never thought the winner woulde from a fish farm in our country. Looks like there are five tyrants now!”
“Who knows. Maybe the fish farm called Ornamental Fish in Paradise will rece Saintly Dragon Fish Farm – after all, the main products of Saintly Dragon Farm are Arowana. If their Arowana aren’t kings, how are they qualified to be a Tyrant?”
The surrounding visitors and workers from the big fish farms conversed in low voices, and some owners of the fish farms from within the country were giving Chu Xian a thumbs up.
The Arowana were put into the aquariums. It wasn’t clear if the organizers had some ulterior motives or if they just thought this was the easiest way to makeparisons, but Chu Xian’s two Arowana were put into an aquarium next to the one containing the three Arowana from Saintly Dragon.
The people from Saintly Dragon Fish Farm noticed the differences between the Arowana and felt even more ufortable. Even amateurs could tell that Chu Xian’s were more beautiful.
“I think there’s no mystery in thispetition of Arowana. There’s no need topete at all!” the only Chinese judge said to the other judges with a smile and walked up proudly. “This is a meaninglesspetition – the two Arowana from No.10 Ornamental Fish in Paradise win first ce.”
“The haughty majestic and impressive features with scales full of texture – when these fish swim, they’re like ancient dragons cutting through the waves with the prestige of ‘First under heaven.’ They are the most beautiful and perfect Arowana I’ve ever seen. Only one of these two are qualified to be the champion of Arowana.”
