Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 1097: Money Must Be Earned by One’s Own People

Shi Guangming frowned.

The meaning of this sentence is clearly to remind myself to be careful and not to tell too many people that the sea fishing boat caught a lot of fish on this trip.

"Zhao Dahai didn't go out to sea with the boat. Shi Jiehua and his crew can't catch many fish on their fishing boat, right?"

Shi Guangming hesitated for a moment.

This time the trip will last for a month, just like the previous ones. There are so many people fishing that all the spots are booked, but without Zhao Dahai going out with them, I have no idea how many fish I can catch. In fact, I feel that the people on the fishing boat will not catch many fish on this trip.

"Humph!"

"How could you think like that?"

"Fishing seems very complicated, but it's not complicated at all. It's just about finding the fishing spot, and then it depends on whether the fisherman has the method to do so."

"The fishing spots that Shi Jiehua chose for this trip were all decided by Zhao Dahai when they went out to sea together."

"What kind of water layer is hanging at a certain point? Do you think an old hand like Shi Jiehua can't remember it?"

"Many people on the fishing boat are the ones who went fishing with Zhao Dahai last time. Could it be that they can't remember these things?"

"It's definitely not possible to catch as many fish as Zhao Dahai did when he went out to sea with the boat, but if these people don't catch more fish than ordinary people, then it's really weird."

"These people must have caught a lot of fish on this trip!"

Zhao Shizhi shook his head. Shi Guangming felt that it made no sense that those people who went fishing on this trip couldn't catch a lot of fish. It was definitely not possible for them to catch as many as Zhao Dahai did when he went out to sea with the boat, but it was definitely far more than what was caught when an ordinary sea fishing boat went out to sea.

Shi Guangming thought about it carefully and had to admit that what Zhao Shi said made sense. The amount of fish caught by a sea fishing boat would definitely not be small.

"Hey!"

"If that's the case, then those who followed Zhao Dahai to go fishing at sea wouldn't have made a lot of money, right?"

Shi Guangming was a little annoyed.

"what!"

"Old Shi, what on earth do you mean by this?"

"These people paid 200,000 yuan to go fishing with Zhao Dahai's fishing boat. Even if they can learn something or remember how to fish at a certain fishing spot, isn't this normal?"

Zhao Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Shi Guangming clearly thought that these people had secretly learned Zhao Dahai's skills.

"Humph!"

"Isn't that the case? These people think that Zhao Dahai's ability is the reason why he caught so many fish and made so much money!"

"The next time these people go fishing with other people's sea fishing boats, they may catch a lot of fish using the same method."

"Don't forget that the fishing fee for our sea fishing boat is higher than that of other sea fishing boats, and it's much higher!"

Shi Guangming had never thought about this before. Now that Zhao Shi said this, he realized that something was wrong. If these people really learned this skill and knew what kind of fishing spots and methods to use, then they would not need to go fishing at the same fishing spot as the sea fishing boat that Ding and Zhao Dahai cooperated on next time.

"Yo!"

"I say, old man, can you please come over and think about things seriously?"

"You don't really think these people will stop deciding the fishing spots for our sea fishing boats, do you?"

"These people will definitely use a certain method to fish at each fishing spot next time, but this method may not work every time."

"The other is where the sea fishing boat is parked. That's something Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhong know only for them."

"As someone who has taken others out to sea for fishing for many years, you know very well that sometimes the same fishing spot or the same point can be different if it is ten or eight meters or even three or five meters different. Sometimes, even different time can make a big difference."

"Those who have booked a spot to go fishing know this, but how come you forgot it when it came to you?"

"Do you really think those who have reserved fishing spots on our fishing boat are fools? Why don't they pay to reserve fishing spots on our fishing boat? They can't even grab them all!"

Zhao Shi thought Shi Guangming's idea was really ridiculous.

Shi Guangming smiled a little embarrassedly, he really thought too much. What Zhao Shi said was right, those who had booked fishing spots and tasted the sweetness would definitely book fishing spots, it was really hard to grab them all.

"Is it possible that we can really catch a lot of fish this time? Do we really need to make some preparations in advance?"

"If this is really the case, we can't let those who collect fish get on the fishing boats!"

"Let's go aboard the fishing boat first to see how many fish there are. After we have discussed everything with Shi Jiehua and the others, we'll let the people who collect the fish get on the boat!"

Shi Guangming came up with a solution.

"Correct!"

"That's exactly what's going on. Shi Jiehua and the others don't know anything about our plans. They don't know that we're planning to make some preparations for the fishing moratorium!"

"In this case, we must first go on the fishing boat and talk to Shi Jiehua about this matter and see how to deal with it."

Zhao Shi nodded.

"I think we should just ignore the people who collect the fish and catch the fish ourselves."

Shi Guangming hesitated for a moment and thought that it would be better for him to pay money to buy the fish from those who went out to sea to fish, and instead of selling them to those who collected the fish, he would sell them himself.

"what?"

"Do you have such an idea? Do you think it is feasible? Those who have been granted the grant have had a long-term relationship with each other. It's not a good idea to do this, right?"

"Another question is how are we going to sell these fish? Do you have a channel?"

Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Shi Guangming to have such an idea.

The fish caught on the last two sea fishing trips were indeed caught, but they would be sold to buyers of fish, shrimps and crabs. But now Shi Guangming's words clearly mean that I should catch them and sell them myself, and not sell them to other buyers. So the money I make is not from the resale, but from the sale of the fish.

"Humph!"

"What's the point? Selling them to the buyers won't make as much money as selling these fish before!"

"What's wrong with us collecting and selling the fish caught by the people on our sea fishing boats?"

"The buyers can't offer a higher price, so why should they make a profit?"

"Who doesn't want to make more money? This is true everywhere in the world!"

"In the past, we would collect these fish and sell them to the fish buyers, but the fishing boats don't catch many fish, so you won't make much money if you sell them, so we don't want to waste our time on this."

"This is different. If the sea fishing boats catch a lot of fish, we can make a lot of money by selling these fish. There is really no need to sell them to other buyers."

Shi Guangming said confidently.

"You, old man, have been thinking about this for a long time, right?"

Zhao Shi had to admit that what Shi Guangming said made sense. If there were few fish, it wouldn't matter, but if there were a lot of fish, then you really had to do the math. You wouldn't make much money by selling them to buyers at other docks, or the money you made from the resale would not be much.

"Correct!"

"I have been thinking about this matter for more than half a month."

"The last time, especially when Zhao Dahai took the fishing boat out to sea, we caught so many fish. We bought them and resold them, and we did make a lot of money, but most of the money went to those buyers!"

"If we have more money, why don't we make it ourselves? Why do we have to let others make it?"

"I was still thinking about whether this could be done, but this time we set up a fish farm here to store the fish and sell them when the fishing season comes. We might as well just do it this way."

"Those who originally did business with us and bought fish, shrimps and crabs from us will definitely have some complaints, and some of them may even be very dissatisfied, but so what? Don't we want to make more money? Do we have to let them make money and we won't make money?"

Shi Guangming waved his hand and said that there was no need to care about the opinions of the buyers in this matter.

"All right!"

"There's nothing wrong with your idea. What's important is making more money for yourself!"

"But this matter is not that simple."

"It's easy for those who have reserved fishing spots on the sea fishing boats to catch fish."

Zhao Shi frowned and took a puff of his water pipe, his expression very serious. This matter seemed simple, but it was actually not simple at all.

It is very easy to catch the fish of those who have booked fishing spots on sea fishing boats, as long as the price is right. These people will sell their fish to anyone, and they will definitely not refuse their respect if they want to continue booking fishing spots on fishing boats.

But what is important and the most difficult thing is how to sell these fish and get a good price.

Shi Guangming's business of taking people out to sea for fishing with a sea fishing boat does not have any sales channels in this area.

In addition, if the fish is not sold to other buyers, these buyers will definitely be very angry and may even unite to cause trouble.

"Old man Zhao."

"Isn't your brain usually very quick? Why do you have no idea what's going on right now?"

"We do not have any sales channels, but have you forgotten what Ding Xiaoxiang's father Ding Chongshan does?"

"Can't handle this matter? Does that mean Ding Chongshan can't handle this matter?"

"Why should we sell these fish to other buyers instead of Ding Chongshan? This is unacceptable. Even if we don't make any money, why should Ding Chongshan make the money? Why is it that he gives others a free ride?"

Shi Guangming had already figured this out long ago.

I indeed have no channels to sell these fish, but Ding Chongshan is doing such a business. These are all sales channels in the county.

Zhao Shi thought about it and nodded slightly.

Ding Chongshan is Ding Xiaoxiang’s biological father.

With this kind of relationship in this place, it would certainly make sense for Shi Jiehua to sell the fish caught on his sea fishing boat to Ding Chongshan.

Those acquirers who are now cooperating with Shi Jiehua, even for many years, cannot express what they are thinking.

If Ding Chongshan were doing other businesses, there would be nothing to say. It would be inconvenient for him to get involved, but Ding Chongshan was originally doing this business, and he would definitely let his family make money.

"I'll talk to Ding Xiaoxiang about this."

"After we've finished talking to Ding Xiaoxiang, let's go find Ding Chongshan and discuss this matter together."

Zhao Shi made up his mind. It might be a little inconvenient for Shi Guangming to tell Ding Xiaoxiang about this matter, but since he was Zhao Dahai's elder, that is, Ding Xiaoxiang's elder, there was no problem in doing it himself.

"Row!"

"It's settled. Tomorrow you talk to Ding Xiaoxiang about this first, and then we'll go find Ding Chongshan and hurry up. We have to settle this matter!"

Shi Guangming was smoking the hookah in his hand.

It is indeed more appropriate for Zhao Shi and Ding Xiaoxiang to discuss this matter, as my identity and relationship are different from Zhao Shi's.

"correct!"

"There's one more thing!"

"The shop at the pier!"

Shi Guangming put down the hookah in his hand and pointed to the location of the pier.

"Oh?"

"Did Yang Zhenhua find you?"

Zhao Shi was a little surprised. He didn't expect Shi Guangming to talk about this matter now.

It’s been a long time since the incident with the shop at the dock, and I thought that the matter had been settled and there was no chance of getting it back.

Shi Guangming mentioned this matter at this time, it must be because Yang Zhenhua came to him again.

"The location of this store is very good. If we can get it, Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang will definitely be willing to pay for it. But as I said before, the price must be the normal market price. It must be a little lower. Otherwise, Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang would rather not have the store than do such a thing."

Zhao Shi knew very well that both Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang wanted to take over that store. One reason was that the store was large enough, and the other was that the location was really good. However, when he talked to Yang Zhenhua about a month ago, Zhao Shi simply refused to talk about it because his request was too high.

"what!"

"correct!"

"Yang Zhenhua did come to my house, but wasn't I here at that time? When I went back, my family told me to call him when I got home."

"When Ding Xiaoxiang was here just now, I forgot about this matter for a moment, and I just remembered it now!"

"During this period of time, we have all forgotten about this matter!"

"Yang Zhenhua has waited for such a long time, he must be impatient now, and no one else has offered a higher price, so he has come to him again!"

"You're right. The price must be lower. Who would buy this store at the normal market price now?"

"It's not really about money, it's about face."

Shi Guangming knew very well that Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang were not short of this little money. Yang Zhenhua asked for a very high price at the beginning, which could not be the market price. The price to buy this shop must be lower than the market price. It was really a matter of face. Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang were not unknown people, and they would never suffer such a loss.
