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

Chapter 1496 A Business to Leave to Descendants

"Ding Xiaoxiang".

"Can we really win this time? Can we really take the business from those two?"

Looking at the sea before her, Yang Qin's relaxed expression vanished instantly.

"Yang Qin".

"What's wrong with you? Weren't you just talking so confidently? You were sure you could win, so why do you suddenly think you can't?"

Ding Xiaoxiang looked at Yang Qin with a puzzled expression.

"Humph!"

"The business at Zhijiao Village Wharf, especially the fish, shrimp and crab buying business, is very large. Take these two people you're dealing with, for example, they can earn at least several million every year."

"If that's the case, if you try to steal someone else's business, won't they have to fight you to the death?"

"How can you say that you can win 100% in something like this? You definitely have to figure out what the whole process is like, what difficulties you will encounter, and how confident you are."

Yang Qin was genuinely a little worried.

"What you said is actually true; this kind of business is really not easy to snatch up."

"It may take one or two years."

"It may even take three to five years to achieve this and have a chance to take over all of this business."

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded. There would definitely be all sorts of difficulties, and the process would certainly be quite long.

"But so what? It sounds complicated, but it's actually not that complicated."

"If it's complicated, then it's just like what you just said. How could you so easily snatch away millions of dollars in profit or money from others? These people, just like you said, would definitely fight us to the death."

"This matter is actually very simple. Just like Liu Lei just said, as long as we have enough cash flow, we don't need to worry about this."

"It's just a matter of time!"

Ding Xiaoxiang knew very well that this matter was not easy.

When you first start a business in a new place, even if there aren't many competitors, business is still not easy. But if there are already many people doing business in the same place, trying to take business away from others, then business becomes even more difficult.

This is the situation we are facing now.

But this kind of thing is actually not too complicated. As long as you have enough cash on hand, as long as you have enough capital.

Then it's just a matter of time.

"Hey!"

"Forget it!"

"Why should I bother with such things?"

"Liu Lei and I are just contributing some money, and then we just wait to split the profits. We really don't need to worry about anything else!"

Yang Qin pondered for a while and felt a great headache, but she quickly stopped thinking about it. She and Liu Lei were just contributing money and waiting to split the profits.

When it comes to doing something, we should discuss it together and see if we can provide any kind of help. But right now, it really doesn't seem like we need to do anything.

"laugh!"

"Didn't I just say that? I'm just like Zhao Dahai, I only provide the money, the actual work is done by my dad and his team, this is their business."

"I really am exactly the same as you!"

Ding Xiaoxiang burst into laughter.

In this kind of business, he and Zhao Dahai are actually no different from Yang Qin and Liu Lei.

"Humph!"

That's how it's said!

"But without your and Zhao Dahai's support, your dad definitely couldn't have done this!"

"Otherwise, why would your dad wait until now to do something like this?"

"Could it be that your father didn't know a few years ago that there were plenty of fish, shrimp, and crabs at the Shijiao Village wharf? Didn't he want to buy fish, shrimp, and crabs from here?"

Yang Qin pursed her lips.

Ding Chongshan is an extremely capable businessman, truly exceptionally so.

Their business was very large, and they were very famous in the town and even the county.

Shek Kok Village Wharf is a very large wharf, and every day the fishing boats that come and go catch a lot of fish.

Even a fool knows that as long as you can buy these fish, shrimp and crabs and resell them, you can make a lot of money.

Ding Chongshan was in this business, so he knew this matter even better.

But all these years have passed, and Ding Chongshan has never done business here, nor has he ever taken business from others.

It's not that I didn't know the business here was good, or that I didn't know it was profitable; it's just that it was really hard to snag a piece of the pie, which made it impossible to start doing this kind of business.

A while ago, Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang bought a shop here. Ding Chongshan immediately realized that this was an opportunity, and he immediately put down his business and handed it over to his two sons. He came here and wandered around all day, with his eyes on the business here.

Now a good opportunity has arrived.

But an opportunity is an opportunity. Whether you can seize it, whether you can take over someone else's business, or whether you can steal someone else's business depends on your strength and whether you have enough capital.

Ding Chongshan absolutely could not have done this alone.

Zhao Dahai made the decision and handed the business over to Ding Chongshan. To be honest, he only did this because of his relationship with Ding Xiaoxiang. Otherwise, Zhao Dahai would never have done it.

"Correct!"

"You're right, that's exactly how it is!"

"What can we do? I only chose someone capable."

Ding Xiaoxiang laughed. Yang Qin was actually right. If Zhao Dahai hadn't done it for her sake, he wouldn't have done such a thing.

Even if I were to do something like that, I would have to keep the entire deal myself; I couldn't give it to anyone else.

"Ding Xiaoxiang!"

"How did you become so shameless? How dare you say something like that!"

Yang Qin couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Whee!"

"Isn't this the truth? This is the truth, so why can't we say it? If it were someone else, my dad wouldn't get this kind of benefit."

"Zhao Dahai is right that he can make so much money by catching so many fish. There is really no need for Zhao Dahai and me to do this kind of business ourselves."

Ding Xiaoxiang initially intended to keep the business under her own control.

I can steadily earn millions every year, mainly because I am very familiar with this industry. Even if my family gets involved, I still have to make the decisions.

Zhao Dahai's current approach is exactly this: he doesn't need to say much, he just takes out a portion of the money, but leaves the bulk of it to his family and his two older brothers.

"Come on, come on!"

"I don't even want to talk to you about this anymore, so you won't be so smug here."

When did we get back?

Yang Qin pointed in the direction of Shijiao Village Wharf. The purpose of her and Ding Xiaoxiang's trip was to discuss this matter with Zhao Dahai and Liu Lei to see if it was feasible. Now that the decision had been made, they definitely needed to hurry back.

There's really nothing for me and Ding Xiaoxiang to do here.

Zhao Dahai and Liu Lei have already gone back to their cabins to sleep. They will go out to sea to fish early tomorrow morning. They can catch several thousand kilograms, or even more than ten thousand kilograms, of fish every day, which is a lot of money and cannot be delayed.

"Let's stay here one more night tonight, and when we wake up tomorrow morning, the weather will be better and we can see the road clearly. Then we'll take the speedboat back."

Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it and decided that she would take the speedboat back with Yang Qin first thing tomorrow morning to discuss how to handle these matters. This was really not a simple matter.

When Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin woke up the next day, they found that Zhao Dahai and Liu Lei had already gone out to sea to fish in two speedboats.

"Grandpa Stone".

"I've already discussed the whole thing with Zhao Dahai and Liu Lei. We've decided that we should take advantage of this opportunity to steal their business."

“This matter will be handled by my dad. Zhao Dahai, Liu Lei, Yang Qin, and I will only contribute a portion of the money. Next, we will wait for the matter to be completed and then divide the money.”

"If you want to get involved in this, then put some money into it and invest."

"We'll have to go back and discuss it with my dad to find out the exact amount; it's really hard to say right now."

"Even if a number is set now, it may still change during the course of doing business."

"The price per share agreed upon at the beginning may not necessarily be the final price."

"There are two ways to handle this. One is to see how much money is spent in the end before determining the price of each share. The other is to set aside a fixed amount of money and then calculate how much money can be distributed among the shareholders."

Ding Xiaoxiang knew that Shi Guangming wanted to participate in this matter, but it was really hard to say how much it would ultimately cost or how much each party would have to contribute.

Shi Guangming had already thought this through last night.

"Ding Xiaoxiang".

"This is a rare opportunity, and our family definitely has to take advantage of it to lend a hand."

“I’ve thought about it, and we don’t actually have that much cash on hand. Or rather, I want to keep more money for when Zhao Dahai expands his fleet and we can buy fishing boats. That’s the business our family is most familiar with.”

"Half a million."

“Our family will always contribute 500,000 yuan to this project.”

"We'll settle the final accounts later."

Shi Guangming knew this would take a long time; snatching business from others would inevitably take time. Another issue was the final cost; he really didn't know. He could only wait until the deal was done, then everyone could do the math, see what it entailed, how much to invest, and how much they could share.

"Row!"

"That's settled then!"

"Grandpa Shi!"

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with your consideration. These businesses are really not familiar to your family, or rather, they are not your family's main businesses. Investing a little money and sharing the profits is enough. There is no need to invest too much money."

"Zhao Dahai has already told you that he will definitely expand the fleet, but it's really hard to say when that expansion will take place."

"In this situation, you definitely need to have enough money on hand."

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded. As a businesswoman herself, she knew Shi Guangming very well, and this was the right thing to do.

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise or familiarity. When it comes to doing business and making money, the key is to do what you are familiar with. If you try to do everything, you will end up doing nothing well.

"what!"

"This is not my achievement. At the beginning, I was thinking of investing as much money as I could, and I poured all the cash I had into it."

"Old Zhao reminded me that our family mainly runs a fishing boat business that takes people out to sea to fish. We are not familiar with other businesses, so there is no need to invest too much money in them. I think this makes a lot of sense."

"Zhao Dahai has actually discussed the expansion of the fleet with Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhong, but they feel it is not the right time yet and they need to wait and see."

Ding Xiaoxiang was very clear about Zhao Dahai's plan. He really intended to expand his fleet, but there was no specific timeframe yet. No one could say for sure when he would do such a thing.

"Zhao Dahai has no idea when he will do something like this."

“I estimate it will take another year or two, but for you, Grandpa Shi, you really need to prepare the money so that you can invest more when you buy a big fishing boat. This is a business that your family will have to do for generations to come.”

"Zhao Dahai told me this time not to get involved in the specifics of buying fish, shrimp and crabs, but actually he was leaving my family a business that our descendants can make money from."

"For your family, the deep-sea fishing boat business is the same thing, or rather, it's something that must be run by your descendants. You must do this business well."

Ding Xiaoxiang wholeheartedly agreed that Shi Guangming should save the money to invest in deep-sea fishing boats. In comparison, the business of buying fish, shrimp, and crabs only requires a small investment, and there is really no need to waste too much time, energy, and money on it.
