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

Chapter 1497 Just Listen to the Smart People

"Correct!"

"That's indeed the case."

"If we have to talk about making money or having enough to eat, drink, and live on, we actually have more than enough now, enough to last several lifetimes."

"Not to mention, at this age, we really don't spend much money."

"Why do we still work so hard, or plan all sorts of things? It's really just because we want to leave something more for our descendants."

"Leaving them money is actually useless. No matter how much money they have, they will definitely spend it all. The most important thing is to leave them a skill and a business."

"Our family has been in the deep-sea fishing boat business for generations."

"In that case, we really have to put all our time, energy, and money into this industry. We can just follow you and Zhao Dahai to make some money in other areas."

The more Shi Guangming thought about it, the more he realized that what Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Shi said was absolutely correct. He really didn't need to invest too much money in other industries.

If the deep-sea fishing boat business is done well, then our descendants will truly have food to eat.

After finishing breakfast, Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin saw that it was almost time and the weather was nice, so they decided to take the speedboat back to Shijiao Village Wharf.

Shi Guangming and Zhao Shi stood at the bow of the large fishing boat, watching Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin's speedboat sail further and further away, disappearing into the horizon in a short while.

"We need to have a good talk with Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhong when they come back from their next trip."

Shi Guangming suddenly blurted out a sentence.

"what?"

"What kind of things do we need to discuss with them?"

Zhao Shi was taken aback, unsure of what Shi Guangming meant. If it was about this business deal, Shi Guangming could make the decision on his own.

"Why wouldn't we need to discuss this with Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhong? What I'm referring to is something Ding Xiaoxiang just reminded us of: no matter what our family does, we must do a good job with the deep-sea fishing boat business. It's a profitable business that we can pass down to our children and grandchildren. We must never forget this!"

Although Shi Guangming, Shi Jiehua, and Shi Zhongwei all ran deep-sea fishing boats, they hadn't really thought much about it. They just felt that they were more familiar with this business and that while they might not make a lot of money, they were sure to make some. So when it was Shi Jiehua's turn, he followed suit and ran the same business.

Shi Jiehua must have thought the same way, which is why he led Shi Zhongwei to do this kind of work to earn money.

However, they almost never think about whether this is a business that their descendants will have to do. If they really think about it in this way, they will have to be more serious about many things and even invest more money. This idea seems simple, but in fact, it is not easy to do it continuously. At least you have to have this idea in your mind.

"This is something we really need to think about carefully! It's very important that Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhong have this idea."

Upon hearing that Shi Guangming was talking about this matter, Zhao Shi immediately nodded.

"Ugh!"

"Although we have lived a whole life and are much older than Ding Xiaoxiang and the others, and even have much more life experience, we are actually far behind in terms of vision."

Shi Guangming had to admit that he was far inferior to Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai in these matters. Although three generations of his family had been doing this kind of work, taking others out to sea to fish, he had never really thought that this was a secure job that his descendants would have to do for generations and that they could make money from.

Having this kind of thinking is actually very important. If you have this kind of thinking, you will keep working in this direction. If you don't have this kind of thinking, you will only make some money and not think long-term enough.

"Yes!"

"The thing that Ding Xiaoxiang reminded us of really needs to be carefully considered."

“Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou are now going out to sea to fish with Zhao Dahai and they are making a lot of money.”

"Ding Xiaoxiang had already reminded them that one thing was that they could invest in and participate in some businesses, and the other thing was that they had to buy land, houses, shops and the like."

Why do we do this? It's to leave food for our children and grandchildren.

"If people like Zhong Shizhu buy enough houses and shops, their descendants can live comfortably simply by collecting rent."

"These were all paths that Ding Xiaoxiang had found for them."

Zhao Shi gave Shi Guangming a reminder.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou are not only making a lot of money by going out to sea to fish with Zhao Dahai, but also, very importantly, they are now buying houses, shops, and land as Ding Xiaoxiang suggested.

These are the truly crucial things, and once these things are done, your descendants will never have to worry about food or drink.

“Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou are all very smart people, and they are very clear that they are not capable of doing much else.”

"They'll just do whatever Ding Xiaoxiang says."

"This is actually the smartest approach. As it turns out, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou have already accumulated a considerable fortune by now."

"They will definitely have no worries about food and drink for the rest of their lives, and their children and grandchildren will also be taken care of."

"This is truly a good thing!"

Zhao Shi was very clear about the situation of Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou.

To put it bluntly, it's about working like crazy to earn money alongside Zhao Dahai on one hand, and buying houses and shops as Ding Xiaoxiang suggested on the other. "Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou are actually very smart people. Otherwise, why would they insist on working so hard alongside Zhao Dahai, and why would they do whatever Ding Xiaoxiang says?"

"They may seem to lack their own opinions, but the key is that they know their own limitations, that they don't have the ability or vision to do things, and they follow the advice of those who do. That's what makes them so remarkable."

Shi Guangming sighed.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou were not much different from other people who went out to sea to fish or fish, but they were really lucky to be able to go out to sea to fish with Zhao Dahai. In this matter, gaining Zhao Dahai's trust was more important than anything else.

"what!"

"That's right! That's really how it is. In matters like this, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou are actually very smart people."

"They don't have many ideas. They just do whatever Ding Xiaoxiang and the others say. In this respect, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou are really incredibly smart. If it were someone else, they might have all sorts of other ideas. They might want to start their own business or something else, but they would likely end up losing all the money they worked so hard to earn."

Zhao Shi smiled and nodded. What Shi Guangming said made a lot of sense. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou were all very smart people and knew exactly how to handle this matter.

"Old Zhao."

"I have a feeling that if things continue like this, in ten or eight years, or even twenty or thirty years, our families will become increasingly powerful in places like this town and the docks."

Shi Guangming suddenly thought of something.

Zhao Dahai is now able to catch a lot of fish and earn a lot of money. Not only Liu Gang and Liu Lei's family, but also Ding Chongshan's family, including Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and others, will definitely earn more and more money.

Having money will naturally lead to wanting to make more money.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang are now cooperating with Liu Gang and Liu Lei to build a large building in the center of town. Just this one building can make a lot of money, which means that Zhao Dahai, Ding Xiaoxiang, Liu Gang, and Liu Lei are making more money than usual, much more.

My family is in the same situation. The fishing boat business is very good. It just takes time. As time goes by, we will make more and more money. The more money we make, the more we will invest in all sorts of things. In turn, we will make more money like a snowball.

"Is there any need to say more? As time goes by, our families will definitely become richer and stronger in a place like this town."

Without a second thought, Zhao Shi immediately smiled and nodded. In fact, it was true that his group's strength would definitely grow stronger and stronger, and their descendants would be even stronger.

"Old Man Shi".

"We're too old for this kind of thing to bother with."

"Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang both know what's going on and are very clear about what's happening. We just need to wait and watch from the sidelines; we don't need to worry about anything else."

"You don't think your brain is better than Zhao Dahai's or Ding Xiaoqiang's, or that these people are more capable, do you?"

"If we don't have that kind of brain or that kind of ability, then we might as well just not talk."

Zhao Shi smiled. That's how things are. Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang will figure these things out.

"To be honest, I never thought of such a thing before. I never thought that a sea fishing boat could make so much money."

Looking at the vast sea before him, Shi Guangming couldn't help but sigh.

He started his deep-sea fishing boat business when he was young, and he did very well. He was very successful among people in this industry, both in the village and the surrounding villages.

I have a very clear understanding of just how much money can be made in this industry.

When Shi Jiehua took over the business, the competition became increasingly fierce, and he gradually earned less and less money.

I thought it was already difficult to make money in this industry, or even if I could, it would only be a small amount. It was almost impossible to make money like I did when I was young.

But unexpectedly, after meeting Zhao Dahai, things changed dramatically, and he suddenly earned a lot of money.

There are people fighting tooth and nail for a fishing spot that costs 200,000 yuan. More importantly, even if you pay 200,000 yuan for a fishing spot, you still make money after a month, and a lot of money at that.

Shi Guangming had never imagined such a thing, and he certainly never expected that the fishing spots on his family's several large fishing boats would be so sought after, with reservations already made for several months in advance.

In his decades-long life, Shi Guangming never imagined that something like this would happen one day.

Shi Guangming was very clear that if this kind of business, or rather this booming situation, continued for three to five years, he really didn't know how much money he could make.

"Correct!"

Who could have imagined this?!

"It's like we just can't understand why Zhao Dahai is able to catch so many fish and make so much money. We really can't understand why Zhao Dahai is able to do this."

"No matter what, we've been at sea for many years and know the conditions in the sea very well. How could we have imagined that Zhao Dahai had only set up a fishing route and some fishing spots?"

"I simply taught Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhong how to find fish at these fishing spots and catch so many fish."

Zhao Shi took a deep drag on the water pipe he was holding. He wasn't really a fishing expert, but he was very familiar with the sea. He had never imagined that someone like Zhao Dahai would appear, who could lead Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou to catch sea bass weighing over 10,000 jin, or black sea bream, or even sometimes deep-sea grouper weighing over 10,000 jin.

Those unfamiliar with deep-sea fishing or angling might think this is just a decent number, but anyone familiar with the industry knows very well what it really means and how terrifying it truly is.

Or, you could simply look at how much money these fish can fetch after being sold, and you'd understand what's going on and how astonishing or even terrifying this is.
