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

Chapter 1127 Ma Baozhu came up with an idea to make money
Shi Zhongwei hurriedly left the fishing raft and went home. He had to go back and talk to his father Shi Jiehua about buying a fishing boat so as not to delay the matter.

"Shi Zhong is a little worried about this kid."

Zhao Shi looked at the speedboat that was leaving quickly.

"Second Grandpa."

"What's so strange about this? This is a large sea fishing boat. If you buy it, it will be yours. You have borrowed so much money and are thinking about making money. You must be a little impatient."

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled.

Shi Zhongwei did seem a little anxious, but that was not surprising. This was a very big deal for Shi Zhongwei. Many people would not be able to buy such a large sea fishing boat in their lifetime.

Not to mention the distant past, Shi Jiehua only bought such a large sea fishing boat two months ago in his entire life.

Shi Zhong must be very excited as he has done such a thing at the age of less than 20.

"Correct!"

"We in Shizhong don't have such ability at our age. We can't borrow money even if we want to."

Zhao Shi nodded. Neither he nor Shi Guangming could do this at Shi Zhongwei's age.

This is not about whether you want to borrow or not, but even if you want to borrow, you can't borrow it.

No one is willing to lend the money.

No matter how high the interest rate is, it is useless. The risk of going overseas is too great. The possibility of losing such a large amount of money is too great.

"Didn't Shi Zhongwei meet Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai? Otherwise, how could he have borrowed so much money?"

"More importantly, even if they could borrow so much money, they wouldn't dare to borrow so much money."

"You have to pay back the money you borrowed. If you can't make money, how can you dare to borrow so much money to buy such a large sea fishing boat?"

Shi Guangming knew very well what was going on.

He took the initiative to take people out to sea to fish, lived frugally, and made a lot of money in his life. He bought a sea fishing boat, and like Shi Jiehua, his business of taking people out to sea to fish was pretty good. He lived frugally and made a lot of money.

I can afford a large sea fishing boat, but I have never bought one.

If there weren't so many people booking fishing spots, buying a large sea fishing boat would be a waste and you wouldn't make more money because the cost is too high.

Ever since the start of the cooperation with Zhao Dahai, fishing spots on sea fishing boats have been in great demand. This is the fundamental reason why Shi Jiehua, He Jian and Shi Zhongwei both dared to buy large sea fishing boats.

"Grandpa Shi."

“Everyone works hard and is serious about making money.”

Ding Xiaoxiang was not polite and insisted that this matter had nothing to do with her. In fact, it was closely related to her and Zhao Dahai. She was not exaggerating. If it were not for her and Zhao Dahai, Shi Jiehua, Shi Zhongwei and He Jian would not have the courage to buy such a large sea fishing boat.

Ding Xiaoxiang looked at Ding Ailian, who had been silent, and was a little worried. She found an excuse and called Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu to go with her to check out the fish in the fish fillet.

Ding Xiaoxiang, Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu walked to the other end of the fish raft.

"A bit worried?"

Ding Xiaoxiang glanced at Ding Ailian.

If Ma Baozhu married Ding Dawen, then she would be Ding Ailian's sister-in-law and no longer an outsider, and she could say whatever she wanted.

"Correct!"

“A little worried!”

Ding Ailian nodded. Although she and Shi Zhongwei both knew that borrowing money to buy a large sea fishing boat of their own was the right thing to do and that the risk was not great or even no risk at all, they had already made up their minds. They had to spend such a large sum of money tomorrow and it was impossible for them not to be worried at all.

"Haven't I analyzed the logic behind this with you? There is really no risk."

"To be honest, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't do such a thing. Could it be that the money I have was blown by the wind? It was all caught by Zhao Dahai one fish at a time!"

Ding Xiaoxiang glared at Ding Ailian.

"sister!"

"How could I not know this? If it were someone else, they would definitely not be able to borrow money from you."

"It's just that I'm really a little worried now!"

Ding Ailian nodded.

Shi Zhongwei did not have a penny to buy this sea fishing boat. He borrowed all the money from Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang.

Those other people really don't have the guts to borrow money from Ding Xiaoxiang.

"Just understand this. There's no need to worry about not being able to pay back the money. If you really can't pay it back, just ask Shi Zhongwei to go fishing with Zhao Dahai's speedboat. It won't take a few years to pay it back."

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled.

I must be joking when I say this, but it's not a joke.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou went fishing with Zhao Dahai, and they made a lot of money every month.

The money borrowed to buy a sea fishing boat can be paid back in just a few years.

"Whee!"

"That `s a deal!"

"If Shi Zhongwei really can't make money and can't pay back the debt, let him go out to sea to fish with my brother-in-law!" Ding Ailian laughed suddenly. She knew how much money people like Zhong Shizhu could earn every month.

"Elaine."

"As long as someone books a fishing spot on a sea fishing boat, it will definitely make money."

"Shi Zhongwei bought a few sea fishing boats, so why should he worry about no one booking a fishing spot? I think you are really thinking too much!"

Ma Baozhu took a look at Ding Ailian and thought there was really no need to worry about this matter.

Ding Ailian nodded and didn't say anything more about this matter. Instead, she pointed to the fish rack right in front of her. The fish from the sea fishing boat had been put here for some time. There were no problems at all and every fish was alive and kicking.

"Sister Xiaoxiang."

"Are you just going to put this fish down like this? Aren't you going to sell it now?"

Ding Ailian watched the number of fish in the fish racks increase day by day. Now only Liu Lei's seafood restaurant and Wu Weimin's restaurant come to the fish racks to get fish every day. All other fish are raised on the fish racks.

"Correct!"

"There's no need to rush this matter."

"As long as you get used to it, you can keep fish like grouper for a long time. These are valuable fish. Generally speaking, they are only sold to Liu Lei's seafood restaurant or Wu Weimin's private restaurant. Another reason is that my dad will order some fish. These fish are usually larger in size."

"We can sell sea bass and black porgy, but we won't sell too many, at least not now. We have to wait for a while, at least another half a month, until the number of sea bass and black porgy here reaches a certain level, and then we can sell them out one after another. Now we have such a large fish farm and such a large net cage, we can raise a lot of fish, so there is no need to rush."

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded. The most valuable fish in the cages now are the groupers. These fish will not be sold specifically now, but only to Liu Lei's seafood restaurant and Wu Weimin's private restaurant. The remaining ones will be kept in the fish farms and there is no need to sell them in a hurry. Fish such as sea bass and black bass are prepared to be sold during the fishing moratorium. Although there are quite a few of them now, they are not particularly large. We have to wait for about half a month until the number of these fish in the fish farms reaches a certain level before they can be sold.

"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I kept so many fish here."

Ding Ailian was not joking. There were really too many fish in the fish farm right now. So many fish were worth a lot of money. If it were her, she would want to sell these fish immediately and put the money in her hands before she could sleep peacefully.

"If you want to make money, especially if you want to make a lot of money, you have to take certain risks. If something goes wrong with these fish, you will lose a lot. But once the fishing moratorium comes, these fish can be sold at double the price. The same fish can make twice as much money in the same amount of time. This is no joke. No matter how big the risk is, it is worth it."

"If one hundred dollars doubles, it's only two hundred dollars, but if it's one million, it doubles to two million."

"It's not even a little bit worse."

Ding Xiaoxiang knew this account too well.

If Zhao Dahai had not caught many fish, there would have been no need to spend so much effort and money to stay on the sea and build such a large fishing raft. However, Zhao Dahai caught so many fish that when the fishing moratorium came, the money he could earn from the same batch of fish was much more.

Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu both nodded. This account was not complicated at all. Anyone who knew a little would know what was going on after a quick calculation. The risk was indeed a bit high, but this kind of thing had to be done.

"Should we build the fish farm next to it in advance? Don't wait until a few days later when Zhao Dahai catches too many fish and has no place to put them. If we build it then, we might have to do something else."

Ma Baozhu pointed to the sea not far away. Ding Xiaoxiang had already rented that place, but it seemed that there was no plan to build a fish farm there now.

Ding Xiaoxiang glanced at the water not far away. She had already rented this place, but she really had no plans to build a fish farm. She thought that the one she had built now was almost enough, and it would be a bit of a waste to build another one. However, what Ma Baozhu said made sense. If she didn't build it now, there would be a lot of fish waiting for Zhao Dahai to catch, and the current fish farm would not be enough, which would delay things.

"Xiao Xiang!"

"I have an idea, but I don't know whether I should tell you."

Ma Baozhu hesitated for a moment. He had had an idea in his mind for the past few days, but he had never told anyone about it. Now that he had seen Ding Xiaoxiang, this idea kept turning around in his mind again, and he really couldn't help it.

"Sister Baozhu."

"What do you think? We are a family and we don't have different opinions. You can speak out whatever you think."

Ding Xiaoxiang was a little curious and didn't know what Ma Baozhu wanted to say to her.

"We are building such a large fish farm now, thinking of raising the fish we catch, and then selling them during the fishing off-season or at other times."

"This way the price will be higher and we can make more money."

"But I was thinking that the fish Zhao Dahai caught could be kept in the fish farm, and we could also collect some fish caught by other people who went fishing."

"Aren't these all fish caught in the open sea? As long as we can keep them, can't we still make money here?"

Ma Baozhu whispered her thoughts.

"Yo!"

"Sister Baozhu."

"Your idea is really great. I think we can do it this way."

Ding Ailian agreed with Ma Baozhu's approach without thinking. In fact, there was no difference between collecting these fish and the fish caught by Zhao Dahai from other places. They were all sea bass caught in the foam area of ​​​​islands and reefs, or groupers caught from artificial islands and reefs or windmill foot fishing spots. Fishermen cannot afford the risk and have no way to keep them on speedboats or in other places and wait to sell them when the price is high, but Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai can do this.

Ding Xiaoxiang could not help but nodded. This was indeed a good idea. As long as the price was right, it would be sure to make money by collecting the fish and raising them on fish racks. Especially for the fish collected during the period before the fishing moratorium, Tieding would be 100% sure to make money. However, this matter was not that simple. It was not that he did not have the capital or the manpower. He had to do something like this, was it appropriate to collect these fish, and would it arouse the thoughts of other colleagues?

Ding Xiaoxiang pondered for a while, a little undecided, and looked around. She saw Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming sitting and smoking on a small platform not far away, and simply walked over with Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were both very surprised. They didn't expect Ma Baozhu to come up with such an idea.

"This is indeed a good idea. The fish farm is idle anyway. If there is enough space to raise fish, we can definitely collect some fish."

"Besides, we still have a place that we haven't built yet! If we really want to do this, we can start building this fish farm tomorrow."

Zhao Shi looked at the empty piece of sea not far away. He thought he could build another fish farm of 300 to 400 square meters. If two fish farms were connected, it would become even bigger and could raise a lot of fish. He could collect valuable fish from other people who went out to sea to fish, including sea bass. It was really good to raise them in these places. He might not make much money doing this in normal seasons, but if he did this before the annual fishing moratorium, there would be absolutely no problem.

"The biggest question now is whether we can do this and whether the other people who collect the fish will have any objections."

Zhao Shi was not worried about making money. What he was worried about was that if Ding Xiaoxiang bought fish here, it would cause opinions from other people. Buying fish, shrimps and crabs in a place like the dock is a one-size-fits-all situation, so you have to think carefully.
