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

Chapter 1501 Who said there are no fish here?

"Hongyun Restaurant is doing very well, but the investment cost for Hongyun Restaurant is very high."

"Another issue is that engaging in aggressive business can result in significant losses."

"Going out to sea to fish definitely has costs, but Zhao Dahai's ability to find where fish live is just too amazing, or rather, his fishing skills are just too amazing."

"The cost of buying a speedboat or fuel is really just a drop in the ocean compared to the fish he catches."

"Where are the costs? This is practically getting something for nothing."

"In that case, I wasn't wrong, was I?"

Yang Qin was not polite at all, and she kept retorting with one sentence after another.

"How dare you bring up something like that building in town? You have far more shares than we do."

"If we could just lie there and eat, drink, and relieve ourselves without moving just because we live in this building."

"Then what are you and Zhao Dahai?"

Yang Qin spoke faster and faster.

"Whee!"

"What can we do? Zhao Dahai just has that skill; he can catch so many fish."

"What you said is actually true. The money Zhao Dahai is making from fishing now is practically no different from having no cost at all."

"If I had to put it into words, it really is a business with no capital, a transaction with no investment."

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled and nodded. Yang Qin's words were actually perfectly correct. Zhao Dahai's fishing trips at sea really didn't involve any cost. Even though the two speedboats he bought were very large and cost a lot of money, the problem was that these speedboats were always in use, which meant that the cost of the speedboats for each fishing trip was very low.

For someone who can catch thousands or even tens of thousands of kilograms of fish every day, the cost of a speedboat, fuel, bait, and so on is truly a drop in the ocean.

"Ugh!"

"There's nothing to say about Zhao Dahai catching so many fish and making so much money. No one else has Zhao Dahai's skills. Even if they wanted to go out to sea to fish and make money, especially so much money, it would be impossible."

"There's no such opportunity, is there?"

"Liu Gang and Liu Lei, especially Liu Gang, now regret the fact that they didn't invest enough money in the town building."

Yang Qin sighed softly. This building in town was jointly built by Liu Gang, Liu Lei, Zhao Dahai, and Ding Xiaoxiang. If they had negotiated for more shares back then, they could have received more money now. Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do about it. When they negotiated the deal, Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang were very assertive, and they also thought that Hongyun Restaurant needed to keep enough cash on hand to run the business.

"laugh!"

"Why bring this up? Zhou Gang isn't oblivious to the fact that this building can generate a lot of money just by occupancy, and that money can be made by his descendants without any risk whatsoever."

"It's just that I didn't have enough money at the time. Ultimately, I didn't expect Hongyun Restaurant to be so popular as it is now."

"If Hongyun Restaurant was doing so well back then, I reckon Liu Gang would have wanted at least half the shares, otherwise he would never have agreed to build such a big building after Zhao Dahai and I got that land."

Ding Xiaoxiang was a little smug.

That's really how it is. Everyone can see that the building in the center of town is bound to make money, and a lot of money at that. The key is that it's very easy to make that money, with almost no risk.

Liu Gang has been in business for so many years and has a wealth of experience. How could he not see this?
Back then, although Hongyun Restaurant was doing well and making a lot of money every day, it was still far less profitable than it is now.

When Liu Gang was thinking about this matter, he had to first consider whether Hongyun Restaurant had enough cash to withstand the attacks from its competitors.

It would be unacceptable to build a large building that would negatively impact the business of Hongyun Restaurant.

With such an idea in mind, it's impossible to come up with enough money to invest in this building.

If Liu Gang really knew that Hongyun Restaurant's business would be so good, he would definitely have to take the gamble no matter what, and put all the cash he had into the building to acquire more shares.

But there's not much to say about this. Liu Gang really didn't know at the time that Hongyun Restaurant's business would become so good.

At the same time, Zhao Dahai and I have enough cash on hand, so there's no question about it. It's obvious that I and Zhao Dahai have taken the lion's share, and a very large one at that.

"Hey!"

"Ultimately, it comes down to not having enough capital. Even if an opportunity comes your way, you can only get a small share, just enough soup. If you want to eat meat, especially something juicy and delicious, that's practically impossible!"

Yang Qin let out a long sigh.

The matter is actually not complicated. To put it simply, Liu Gang didn't have enough money on hand at the time to invest more in the building, rather than Liu Gang not knowing that the project could make money.

"Correct!"

"That's really how it is. As long as you have enough cash and enough capital, you can seize opportunities no matter what kind of thing you do."

"On the contrary, without enough cash and enough capital, even if you see an opportunity, you won't be able to seize it."

Ding Chongshan nodded and pointed to the Shijiao Village Wharf right in front of them.

Ma Ping and Sun Tie did indeed present a great opportunity this time, but even with such an opportunity, without enough money and capital, don't even think about seizing it or grabbing market share, let alone making money.

It really is that simple.

"Uncle Ding."

"Zhao Dahai and I have discussed this with Xiao Xiang and the others. After we secure this business here, we must reserve a portion of the fish catches we collect, especially the really good and lively ones, for Hongyun Restaurant and Boss Wu Weimin."

Yang Qin remembered something very important that she had to make clear to Ding Chongshan. Ding Xiaoxiang was actually just like her, only responsible for investing money or even lending money to Ding Chongshan, and no longer concerned with the specifics of buying fish, shrimp and crabs.

"dad!"

"When I discussed this matter with Zhao Dahai and Liu Lei, I mentioned an idea: the fish, shrimp, and crabs we collect, especially the liveliest and more valuable ones, should be divided into three parts. One part goes to Hongyun Restaurant, another to Wu Weimin, the owner, and the third part goes to the vendors who sell the fish, shrimp, and crabs you usually collect."

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded; she had already discussed this matter with Liu Lei and Yang Qin.

"No problem, let's handle this like this. If we split it up, everyone can benefit. After all, there's only a small portion of the fresh seafood we had before."

Ding Chongshan nodded in agreement, saying that there was no problem with handling the matter this way.

After discussing the matter with Yang Qin, Ding Xiaoxiang left the shop, but instead of returning to town, she went to the fish farm.

Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin chatted with Zhong Cuihua, Huang Jintao, and the others for a while, then left the fish raft to return to the dock and then back to the town.

Windmill foot fishing spot.

Zhao Dahai glanced at the gun mount in front of him. The electric winch on the rod was turning continuously, making a very muffled sound.

"what!"

"Brother Dahai!"

"Who said there aren't any fish here? Look at this fish! And this one is quite a good size!"

"It must weigh at least seventy or eighty pounds!" Liu Lei exclaimed excitedly.

I arrived here around eight o'clock in the morning and started fishing. It's been almost two hours and I've only caught my first fish. But this fish is quite big. An 80 or 90-pound grouper is considered a large one.

"middle!"

"Damn it!"

"It looks like the fish is only now starting to speak!"

Zhong Shizhu kept his eyes fixed on the pole in front of him, then suddenly pushed the electric winch, and watched as the pole bent down.

Zhong Shizhu breathed a sigh of relief. It had taken him so long to catch his first fish, which was quite frustrating, but he knew that this was very likely the fish taking the first bite.

No matter what kind of fish you're fishing for, as long as it bites, you're guaranteed to catch it. Especially since Zhao Dahai can pinpoint the exact location of the fish, there's even less to worry about.

"coming!"

……

"Damn it!"

"Not too small, not too small!"

……

Liu Lei was startled and looked up. Not far away, he saw Liu Bin and Lei Dayou's speedboat. Both of them had caught fish, and judging from the curve of their rods, the fish were quite big. The smallest weighed fifty pounds, and the largest probably weighed eighty pounds.

"No way? Why am I the only one not getting any fish biting?"

Liu Lei was a little frustrated. Of the five people on the two speedboats, Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou had all caught fish, but he hadn't caught any.

"How come no fish are biting? There's already a fish on your hook. I was so busy talking that I didn't see it. Luckily, the fish swallowed it quite deeply, otherwise it would have gotten away."

Zhao Dahai smiled and walked over to the gun mount in front of Liu Lei. There was indeed a fish biting the rod, but Liu Lei was so busy talking to himself and paying attention to the fish that Zhong Shizhu and the others had caught that he didn't notice.

Liu Lei immediately looked down and found that it was indeed the case. He didn't know when a fish had gotten on the hook. He hurriedly pushed the electric reel, and then saw that the rod was bent very badly.

"Dry!"

"Liu Lei!"

"What incredible luck!"

“If it were anyone else, this fish would have already escaped. But you are lucky. This fish hasn’t escaped, and it’s actually quite big.”

Zhong Shizhu looked closely at Liu Lei's fishing rod and saw that the curve of the hook was very clear. The fish that had taken the bait was over 60 pounds. If such a large grouper had taken the bait, it would either have spat out the hook or burrowed into a hole, making it impossible to pull it up.

Now, not only is the fish no longer hooked, but it's also being pulled up.

"what!"

"What can I do? It's just my luck, it's really too good. No one else could do this."

Liu Lei knew very well that this was indeed the case; he was incredibly lucky, otherwise he would never have been able to catch this fish.

Zhao Dahai used a landing net to scoop up the grouper he had caught, removed the hook, and slid it into the live water tank.

"Attention everyone, the fish should be biting now, so let's focus on fishing from here on out."

After Zhao Dahai saw that he had caught a fish, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou, and Liu Lei also caught fish one after another. They knew very well that the Windmill Foot fishing spot, which they hadn't been to for a long time, not only had fish, but the fish were also quite big.

When the fish aren't biting, there's nothing anyone can do, but now that they are, you have to concentrate on fishing and not waste this rare opportunity.

"Uncle Dayou!"

"Let's park this speedboat to the side; we don't need it. Everyone's fishing on the speedboat!"

Zhao Dahai thought for a moment. This wasn't the time to fish for sea bass, so the two speedboats wouldn't be of much use. The main problem was that Lei Dayou and Liu Bin weren't as familiar with the fishing spots as he was, including the various routes and so on.

The only way is for everyone to stay on one speedboat so that they can catch more fish. Once they've caught enough fish, they can move to another speedboat.

Lei Dayou and Liu Bin were very clear about their true nature, and they immediately nodded when Zhao Dahai said that.

Zhao Dahai and Lei Dayou drove their speedboat to a nearby windmill pile and tied the mooring ropes.

Lei Dayou and Liu Bin immediately boarded Zhao Dahai's speedboat.

Although Zhao Dahai hadn't fished at the Windmill Foot Fishing Spot for a while, he had fished there many times before and was very familiar with the place.

"It's past the deadline! It's past the deadline! Put it away, put it away!"

……

"Put the rod down!"

……

"Set the line and establish the bottom!"

……

While driving the speedboat, Zhao Dahai loudly reminded Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou, and Liu Lei to go fishing.

"what!"

"Big, big!"

……

"Yo!"

"This one only weighs about ten pounds, but this one has red spots!"
