The wealthy families in Cyan Yang City are very well known to the fishermen who run the water transportation business.
If the first tier in Cyan Yang City consists of those prestigious wealthy families, then the second tier would be the owners of some prosperous shops in the city.
This second tier is the target they can actually reach. If they want to sell these exotic seafood to the prestigious wealthy families, their status alone is not sufficient—they wouldn't even get past the front door.
Phoenix Inn in Cyan Yang City is owned by a certain Chen Bin, a rich man whose wealth is substantial enough to rival some of the prestigious families in the city. If it weren't for his lack of seniority, he might have already been included among them. Ever since the Jiang family was eradicated, quite a few rich men in the city have been eager to vie for such a status.
