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

Chapter 1495 The discussion is complete!

“It’s not surprising that Brother Dahai has made a lot of money.”

"This is definitely something to be very envious of, but there's no way to be envious if you don't have that kind of ability."

“Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou, they can earn so much money just by going out to sea to fish with Zhao Dahai, that’s what’s truly enviable.”

As Liu Lei spoke, he couldn't help but laugh. He told Yang Qin that he had been saying earlier that if he didn't have to manage the Hongyun Restaurant business, he could make a lot of money by going out to sea fishing with Zhao Dahai.

Yang Qin thought about it and nodded. What he said was indeed true. Going out to sea to fish with Zhao Dahai could really earn a lot of money.

“Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou have all bought shops in town, and it seems they've also bought land or something. It won't be long before they all have to start thinking about building houses.”

"Which of the other fishermen or anglers who go out to sea can be like Zhong Shizhu and his men?"

Yang Qin knew very well how much money Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou had made. To put it bluntly, it was simply because they followed Zhao Dahai on his voyages that they were able to earn so much money.

"what!"

"Correct!"

"There's really nothing we can do about this. Uncle Shizhu and the others are just lucky, or they're just blessed with good fortune."

"Countless other people want this opportunity, they all want to go fishing at sea with Brother Dahai, but they just don't have this chance."

Liu Lei nodded. It really was true. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou could never have earned this much money, whether they went to sea with others or went on their own.

"correct!"

"Why doesn't Zhao Dahai simply buy a few more speedboats and find more people to go fishing at sea? Wouldn't that allow him to catch more fish and earn more money?"

Yang Qin found this matter a bit strange.

Under normal circumstances, Zhao Dahai could find fish in various places. With more speedboats and more people, he could catch more fish and earn more money. However, up until now, he hasn't been seen doing such a thing, and judging from his appearance, he probably won't.

"Brother Dahai must have his own reasons, but I'm not sure what they are."

Liu Lei felt that Yang Qin was right, but he really didn't know why Zhao Dahai didn't do it that way.

"What are you two talking about? You've been talking for so long and you're still talking."

Yang Qin turned her head and saw Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang walking over.

Yang Qin explained that she and Liu Lei had just been discussing why they didn't hire more speedboats and more people, which would allow them to catch more fish and earn more money.

"Logically, that's how it is, but in reality, it's not necessarily like that."

"Whether it's fishing for sea bass, black sea bream, or grouper, the fishing spots or areas where I can catch fish are limited to this small area."

"Two speedboats are about enough. If there are too many speedboats, they will have to be deployed on a larger beach. At that time, it is not certain that we can catch many more fish, or that the extra money earned from catching more fish will be less cost-effective after deducting labor costs and other expenses."

"Let's just not do this at all!"

Zhao Dahai waved his hand.

It's perfectly normal for Liu Lei and Yang Qin to have such thoughts.

Many people may feel that they are only out at sea with two speedboats, and fishing is a waste of their fish-finding skills.

In fact, this matter is not that simple; it's not as simple as just wanting as many speedboats as you want.

The idea that the more speedboats and people there are, the more fish can be caught is just a calculation method; in reality, it's not that simple.

You can find out where the fish are, but usually the fish are not very large, especially not on a large sea surface.

Even when fishing for sea bass in the island and reef foam area, the schools of sea bass you find are usually concentrated in a relatively small area. It's impossible for there to be so many fish over a surface area of ​​tens of meters or more.

Without such a large sea area, having many speedboats would be useless. The other speedboats would just be like the speedboats of the people around, and fishing would be meaningless.

It goes without saying that fishing for black sea bream, yellowtail, or grouper requires focusing on a relatively small spot to catch fish. From this perspective, having more speedboats or more people is useless.

Liu Lei and Yang Qin finally understood what was going on. It wasn't true that having more speedboats and more people meant you could catch more fish and earn more money.

If doing this could really make more money, Zhao Dahai wouldn't have waited until now without doing it.

"Liu Lei."

"Xiao Xiang and Yang Qin came to us this time to talk about buying fish, shrimp and crabs from the Shijiao Village wharf."

"Xiao Xiang and I just agreed on this: we'll just invest the money, and the actual work will be done by Uncle Ding and the others."

"If you two want to invest, there's no problem at all."

"But the specific amount to invest really needs to be discussed with Uncle Ding."

Zhao Dahai told Liu Lei and Yang Qin that he and Ding Xiaoxiang had just discussed and agreed that they would not interfere with the collection of fish, shrimp and crabs.

Liu Lei was a little surprised at first, but he quickly figured out what was going on.

Zhao Dahai can now catch a lot of fish and earn a lot of money, so he doesn't need to do this kind of business himself.

If it were someone else, Ding Xiaoxiang would definitely not be polite and would definitely do this herself. But now that the other person is Ding Chongshan, it's completely different.

"Row!"

"I'll go back and discuss this matter with Uncle Ding again, and see what the situation is before deciding how much to invest."

"what!"

“I want to invest more. This is a sure-fire way to make money. The more you invest, the more you earn.”

Liu Lei wasn't joking; he had just discussed this very thing with Yang Qin, but he knew very well that it was impossible.

"Once this is done, I need to have priority over the fish, shrimp, and crabs we receive. I'll pick the biggest ones and the ones of good quality." Liu Lei immediately told Ding Xiaoxiang about this, as this was the most important thing to him.

Making money through investing in and acquiring fish, shrimp, and crabs is important, but not the most important thing. What's truly crucial is ensuring that, once the business is successful, all the liveliest, most expensive, and highest-quality fish, shrimp, and crabs you receive daily are reserved for your own Hongyun Restaurant.

"The best fish, shrimp, and crabs that are harvested should be divided into at least three pieces."

“You take one copy here, Mr. Wu Weimin takes one copy there, and my dad’s original clients definitely have to take one copy as well.”

"If others don't want it, then those who are left want to take more, and that's perfectly fine."

Zhao Dahai nodded, but immediately shook his head.

If this is successfully accomplished, the collected fish, shrimp, and crabs will definitely need to be sold.

Selling to someone else is selling, selling to Liu Lei is the same thing, and the price has to be the same; it can't be less.

However, these good fish, shrimp and crabs are not only desired by Liu Lei and Liu Gang. Wu Weimin, or Ding Xiaoxiang's father Ding Chongshan's original customers, must also want them.

It's impossible that Liu Lei was the first to choose and then it was the turn of others. There must have been at least three people to make it proper.

This matter needs to be clarified now.

Liu Lei nodded. He knew he wanted to choose first before others could have their turn, but he knew that was impossible.

For me, this is already very good.

Zhao Dahai, Ding Xiaoxiang, and Ding Chongshan aren't just doing business with themselves; they definitely have to consider other people as well.
Would someone refuse it?
This is impossible!

Don't even think about it!

"What's going on with you two? This hasn't even started yet, but you're already discussing how to divide the fish, shrimp, and crab."

Ding Xiaoxiang glanced at Zhao Dahai and Liu Lei and made a joke.

"what!"

"Sister-in-law Xiao Xiang!"

"It's hard to say about other things, but when it comes to something like this, what's there to worry about?"

"The timing is very important and very good for us. As long as we make up our minds, the others can definitely do it, without a doubt!"

"Let's not even talk about other business methods. We have none of them, and we can't be any better than others."

"Just look at our cash flow, especially the cash flow that Brother Dahai brings back after catching so many fish every day and selling them. We know that this business is definitely going to be a win for us."

Liu Lei is very confident.

This isn't blind confidence. I've been independently operating and managing my family's Hongyun Restaurant for some time now, so I understand very well what doing business is all about.

If you want to compete with others and win, a crucial factor is how much cash flow you have. If you have enough cash on hand, you can basically be considered invincible.

Other business strategies are secondary, only important when everyone is evenly matched or when one is slightly weaker. But if one person has a lot of cash flow, then they are unlikely to lose.

The reason for this is very straightforward: regardless of the product, price competition is initiated.

No matter what kind of people they are, none of them can withstand it.

"If we're talking about cash flow, how could we possibly lose to others?"

“We’re definitely not the richest people around here, but we’re not that far off. The key is that if we’re talking about cash flow, even those who are richer than us can’t compare to us.”

Liu Lei was very clear about this, which was why he had just been discussing with Zhao Dahai how to distribute the fish, shrimp, and crabs.

This is actually quite simple; there are really no other tricks involved.

If we're talking about business acumen, I'm no less capable than the people around me, let alone Ding Xiaoxiang or Ding Chongshan.

"There won't be any further changes to this matter."

"Things are actually very simple right now."

"We need to see exactly what we should do, or how long it will take to win over these businesses at this dock."

Yang Qin smiled and nodded. Although Liu Lei's tone was very arrogant, as if his competitors were no match for him, she had to admit that they really did have that kind of strength.

"Come on, come on!"

"We can't do without the fish, shrimp and crab from your Hongyun Restaurant."

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled.

Liu Lei's words really hit the nail on the head. He, or rather Zhao Dahai, had enough cash on hand, so the other people, including the other competitors, were no match for them. No matter what kind of competitors they were, they wouldn't pose much of a threat.

The reason I'm considering doing this isn't just because the opportunity is incredibly great right now. More importantly, I've carefully considered it and I'm truly confident, even certain of success.

Without such certainty, no matter how good the opportunity is, you have to hold back and wait until you see another opportunity or a better chance to win before you do such a thing.

Why do something like this if you're not confident and it's just a risk?
You should know that Zhao Dahai and I can make a lot of money every day. If we weren't confident, there would be no need to do this. If we were going to lose money, we might as well just lie down and make money as we can.

They must be very confident, extremely confident, to be able to win over the other party and snatch this business before they make a move.

"Zhao Dahai".

"This matter has been discussed and agreed upon. You should all go to sleep and rest."

Ding Xiaoxiang urged Zhao Dahai and Liu Lei to go to sleep quickly, as they must be tired after fishing all day.

Zhao Dahai and Liu Lei nodded and immediately went back to their cabin to sleep, as they had to go out to sea to fish again early the next morning.
