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

Chapter 1128: Just replace them all with big ones!

"Second Grandpa!"

"Grandpa Shi."

"This is indeed a good thing for us, and a good opportunity to make money. However, after careful consideration, I think I should put it aside for a while and wait for another suitable opportunity to do something like this again."

Ding Xiaoxiang was a little excited when she first heard Ma Baozhu talk about this. This was really a good idea to make money, but now she has calmed down and feels that now is not a good time to do this.

"Oh?"

"Why do you say that?"

Shi Guangming was a little surprised. Ma Baozhu's idea was really good and he really planned to do something like this.

Ding Xiaoxiang pointed to the shop on the pier that she had just bought and said that Ding Chongshan had now started to purchase the fish on the sea fishing boats. The other buyers here had no way to deal with it, but they must be muttering in their hearts. It's not that it's not possible for them to purchase other fish that can be caught at this time, but if they do so, it will definitely arouse others' hatred of the enemy.

"Humph!"

"So what if Xie Daxian and Liu Baojiang don't have any thoughts in their minds?"

"Could it be that they can grant me a place in Shijiao Village, but I can't catch fish here?"

Shi Guangming immediately understood what Ding Xiaoxiang meant and became unhappy.

"I say, why are you so angry, old man?"

"If we really want to catch fish here, who's afraid of who? Just like what you said, can you people from Shijiao Village not catch fish here? Or even if Ding Xiaoxiang and I catch fish here, what's the problem?"

Zhao Shi glared at Shi Guangming.

This thing can definitely be done if you want to, but what Ding Xiaoxiang said makes sense. There is no need to rush to do such a thing at this time.

Ding Chongshan is now purchasing the fish from the sea fishing boats here. It won’t be long before he will slowly start purchasing other fish, shrimps and crabs here.

Liu Baojiang and Xie Daxian are not fools. They can definitely see what is going on.

If we have to do this at this time, it is really not a good thing, at least the timing is not right.

"This is a great opportunity to make money. Can we just say we won't do it?"

Shi Guangming knew that what Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Shi said made sense, but there was no reason to let go of such a good way to make money.

"How could I miss this opportunity?"

“It’s not like we have too much money!”

"But we have to find another more suitable opportunity!"

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled and shook her head. This thing must be done, but now is definitely not a good time to do it.

Ding Xiaoxiang thought for a while and told Shi Guangming that after a while, three to five months or a year or two, her father Ding Chongshan would start buying other fish, shrimps and crabs here, and they could do this together at that time.

Shi Guangming thought about it and nodded. Ding Xiaoyu's approach was safer.

"Old man Shi."

"Let's not worry about so many things when it comes to doing business."

"Ding Chongshan has been doing business for so many years, and he won't start buying fish, shrimps and crabs here right away."

"Could it be that Ding Chongshan's business is not as good as ours?"

"If you need any help, we can help you. As for other decisions, Ding Xiaoxiang, Zhao Dahai, Shi Jiehua and others can discuss and decide."

Zhao Shi knew Shi Guangming's character very well. He must have thought that they could start purchasing fish from other fishing boats right away. People like Xie Daxian could purchase fish, shrimps and crabs here, but people from his own Shijiao Village could not do this.

Shi Guangming calmed down, thought about it, and nodded heavily.

What Zhao Shi said makes a lot of sense.

When it comes to doing business, eight or ten of me combined are not as good as Ding Chongshan alone, not to mention Ding Xiaoxiang. Even Zhao Dahai is much better at business than me.

There must be a reason why Ding Chongshan and Ding Xiaoxiang are so cautious about this matter.

"Grandpa Shi."

"We have to make money. We can't just give up the opportunity and ability to make money to others, right?"

"But you can't become fat in one bite, let's take it slow!"

"It's not like we have no food to eat now. On the contrary, we have made a lot of money now, and other people's eyes are red."

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled and pointed at the sea fishing boats at the Shijiao Village Pier in the distance. She was not kidding. During this period, the fishing spots of Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhong's sea fishing boats were very popular. The colleagues in other sea fishing boats must be very envious and jealous. Now there is another place like this to buy fish and wait to sell them to make money during the fishing season. The news has spread. These people must be scum, and people are saying all kinds of things.

"what!"

"Can we be blamed for this?"

"Who said our sea fishing boat can catch so many fish? Wu Dabin and Wu Xiaobin go out to sea to make a lot of money by fishing, so they must have booked the fishing spot on our sea fishing boat."

Shi Guangming laughed triumphantly and put what had just happened behind him and stopped thinking about it.

Shijiao Village.

Shi Zhongwei pushed open the door of the yard and walked in, and immediately saw his father Shi Jiehua sitting on a stool smoking.

"Why did you come back? Weren't you staying at the fish farm?"

Shi Jiehua glared at Shi Zhongwei when he saw him. Ding Ailian was working on the fish raft now. Shi Zhongwei had been out at sea for a month and it was hard for him to come back. He needed to spend more time with him. If he went out to sea again, it would take another month to come back.

"dad!"

"What on earth are you talking about? I've been back for several days and haven't even been home yet. I finally got back and you're saying something like this. I can't just stay on the fish rack forever, can I?"

Shi Zhongwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

When I got back to the dock, I was already on the fish farm. This was the first time I went home until now.

The meaning of these words clearly means that he hopes I won't come back.

"Besides, I came back to tell you something!"

Shi Zhongwei pulled a stool and sat next to Shi Jiehua.

"Are you talking about buying a big sea fishing boat?"

"Have you made up your mind?"

Shi Jiehua glanced at Shi Zhongwei and knew without any guessing what Shi Zhongwei wanted to tell him.

Shi Zhongwei nodded and told Shi Jiehua that he would borrow money from Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai to buy a brand new large sea fishing boat.

"I have already told Sister Xiaoxiang about this matter, and she has agreed. As long as I find a good boat and agree on the price, she will transfer the money to me."

"I want to get this done before my next trip out to sea. Let's see if you are free to go with me to see the fishing boats tomorrow."

"If there is a ready-made ship, that would be the best thing."

Shi Zhongwei made up his mind and without hesitation told Shi Jiehua that he had borrowed all the money from Ding Xiaoxiang to buy a large sea fishing boat.

Shi Jiehua frowned, in fact, he had already known that Shi Zhongwei had such an idea. Shi Jiehua thought about it and nodded without saying anything, and told Shi Zhongwei to go out to see the fishing boats early tomorrow morning.

Shi Zhongwei knew that Shi Jiehua was not quite in agreement with him borrowing so much money to buy a large sea fishing boat, as he thought that the risk and pressure were too great. However, he had his own ideas and did not try to convince himself, as long as he did not object.

Shi Zhongwei discussed this matter with Shi Jiehua and did not rest at home, but went directly to the fish farm. He was planning to pick up Ding Ailian early tomorrow morning, but after thinking about it, he decided to go to the fish farm and go home with Ding Ailian early tomorrow morning to see the fishing boats.

Shi Jiehua waited for Shi Zhongwei to leave for a while before going out and going to He Jian's house.

"Yo!"

"What are you doing here?"

He Jian was a little surprised when he opened the door and saw Shi Jiehua. He didn't know what he wanted from him.

What Shi Jiehua said sounded like Shi Zhong's story about buying a fishing boat.

"What's this about?"

"Shi Zhongwei can borrow money to buy it if he wants. He has his own ideas. Isn't that a good thing?"

"Haven't we talked about this before? There's not much risk."

"Ding Xiaoxiang is willing to lend the money for Ding Ailian's sake. I think if Ding Ailian really marries Shi Zhongwei in the future, she will be able to take charge of the family sooner or have a stronger say at home."

When He Jian heard what Shi Jiehua was talking about, he waved his hand. This clearly showed that he was worrying too much. It was really unnecessary. It was not that Shi Jiehua did not understand this truth, he just thought too much.

"Forget it!"

"It's going to rain! Mom is getting married!"

"It's normal for children to have their own ideas when they grow up?"

"Let's just ignore it!"

Shi Jiehua sighed.

"Shi Jiehua!"

"I think you really don't know how lucky you are!"

"If it wasn't for Ding Ailian, Ding Xiaoxiang would definitely not have lent this money."

"The one who benefits the most from this matter is your family!"

When He Jian saw Shi Jiehua like this, he knew that he was taking advantage of the situation.

If Ding Xiaoxiang was not Ding Ailian's cousin, she would definitely not do such a thing.

You know, if nothing else happened, Ding Ailian would marry Shi Zhongwei in a few years.

With a cousin like Ding Xiaoxiang to help them, Ding Ailian and Shi Zhongwei will never have to worry about making money for the rest of their lives.

"what!"

"Alright alright!"

"You're right, that's exactly what happened. In the end, it was our family that got the better of us!"

Shi Jiehua laughed out loud, feeling a little smug. He Jian was right. If it weren't for Ding Ailian, Ding Xiaoxiang would definitely not do such a thing.

Do I have to pay interest when I borrow money?

Anyone who has gone out to sea knows that no one will lend money to them if they want to arbitrage interest!

"If you have nothing to do tomorrow morning, come with me to see the boat with Shi Zhongwei. If there are no problems and it's ready, we'll make a decision tomorrow!"

"Shi Zhongwei has already made an agreement with Ding Xiaoxiang. As long as we find a good boat and agree on the price, we can transfer the money and take it over."

Shi Jiehua came here thinking of asking He Jian to go with him to see the fishing boats tomorrow.

"Is Shi Zhongwei thinking that he will use this new sea fishing boat next time he goes out to sea?"

He Jian nodded.

I've been resting at home these days, doing whatever I want. I can go with Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhongwei tomorrow.

"Correct!"

"That's the plan!"

"The sooner you buy it, the sooner you can go out to sea and make money. Another good thing for our fleet is that we have more fishing spots."

Shi Jiehua nodded and Shi Zhongwei agreed that this was his plan.

"No problem whatsoever!"

"We are running out of fishing spots right now because there are so many people who want to reserve them. If we switch to a larger sea fishing boat, we can get a lot more fishing spots."

"With more people on board, won't this mean we can make more money?"

"correct!"

"Shi Zhongwei bought a new sea fishing boat. What are you going to do with your old sea fishing boat?"

"Or maybe it was the one my family sold?"

"Isn't it a bit too many fishing boats to go out to sea?"

He Jian thought about it and realized that there were a total of four boats going out to sea for fishing on this trip. If Shi Zhongwei bought a new sea fishing boat, and all of them went out to sea, there would be five boats in total.

Shi Jiehua shook his head without even thinking. The more fishing boats that go out to sea, the more fishing spots there are and the more fishing fees they can earn. However, the bigger the fleet is, the better. The people who calculate the fishing spots have to catch fish and make money before people will continue to book fishing spots.

The fleet is too large and there are too many people going out to sea. Those spots cannot accommodate so many fishing boats and so many anglers. There won't be many people fishing. Even on average, few people can make money.

It's okay once or twice, but if it happens again and again, no one will be willing to pay for booking a fishing spot, and you will be the one who gets hurt in the end.

"Four sea fishing boats are already the limit. Even if we add one more sea fishing boat, we don't need to do this. We have to ensure that every person who has booked a fishing spot can catch fish and make money. At least the majority of people who have booked a fishing spot can make money."

Shi Jiehua shook his head.

In the short term, having an extra sea fishing boat is definitely more cost-effective, as you can collect more fishing fees, but in the long run, this may not be of much benefit.

"The next trip will be on my fishing boat. If you want to sell your fishing boat, you can sell it, or you can buy the boat at the pier."

"After we buy Shi Zhongwei's sea fishing boat, we will have three large sea fishing boats and a small sea fishing boat. We will replace the two small sea fishing boats after a while."

"Our fleet consists of four sea fishing boats!"

Shi Jiehua told He Jian his plan.

"Row!"

"It's settled. Four large sea fishing boats are enough. We don't need too many fishing boats."

He Jian nodded, Shi Jiehua's idea was correct.
