I rely on fishing to achieve freedom in life

Chapter 103 Buy a fishing boat and take turns!
"Prodigal son, I also agree with this approach."

The village chief also voted in favor after taking a puff of dry cigarette.

Although floating on the sea for several days has a great impact on a person's body and spirit, the village chief has long been accustomed to such a life, so he can still resist.

"Haha, it seems that everyone is like me and no longer pays attention to fish and shrimps weighing [-] to [-] kilograms."

Seeing that both of them voted in favor so simply, Bai Lang also laughed.

He knew that the village chief and the others had eaten meat after him, so they wanted to eat more meat.

After all, people are ambitious. When they see a ten thousand kilograms of bass, they will gradually stop taking such a harvest seriously.

They will be eager to catch more fish every time they go to sea in the future, so that they can get more dividends.

It's like if you received a salary of 1 yuan last month and [-] yuan this month, you will be eager to get [-] yuan next month.

"That's right, prodigal son, you have indeed taken us under your wing. In the past, we were already able to catch a few hundred kilograms of fish when we went out to sea. But after following you out to sea a few times, we no longer even care about ten thousand kilograms of fish. It’s in.”

Wang Jianping next to him also said something at this time.

After hearing what he said, the village chief and Wang Jianguo also laughed.

This is the fact. If you follow Bailang and go fishing again in the future, if you don't even get [-] catties, it will definitely be a failure.

However, this kind of failure in their eyes is definitely an earth-shattering harvest in the eyes of other fishermen.

This is the current gap between them and other fishermen.

"Since everyone has no objections, then every time we go to sea, we will go to a farther place and stay longer. I estimate it will be at least two or three days."

Bailang decided on this matter directly.

It is actually quite normal to go out to sea for two or three days, especially for some larger fishing boats.

Because there are only small boats in the town, and most of them are only one or two people, we go out late every day and return early every day.

From this point on, Bailang and his fleet have slowly begun to get back on track.

"If the time to go to sea is extended, then we must consider another issue, and that is the need to add more fishing boats."

Now Bailang and the others can return with a full harvest every time they go out to sea. If they increase their fishing time by two or three times, or even more, they will definitely catch more fish by then.

Naturally, the number of ships and manpower used for transportation will also increase accordingly.

If the seafood caught at sea cannot be transported back, isn't it equivalent to catching it in vain?

Buying a boat is quite simple for Bai Lang. He still has a deposit of 300 to [-] million yuan. As long as he likes it, he can buy it back at any time, whether it is a new boat or a second-hand boat.

What troubles him now is the person who drives the ship, which is equivalent to the 'driver'.

But it’s useless to just hire a driver. You need to hire a manager at least.

After all, transporting seafood from the sea back to the dock requires connecting with Tang Dahai and others, so the person you choose must be cautious.

It's very easy for Bailang to recruit people now. All they need to do is spread the news and ensure that those who want to join the fleet can have their family's threshold leveled.

But he doesn't want to do this. He must carefully select everyone in his team and trust them.

With such requirements and considerations, it is not easy to find someone in a short time.

The village chief and Wang Jianguo obviously knew what Bai Lang meant, so everyone suddenly began to think in silence.

"Prodigal, I have an idea!"

Wang Jianguo frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly thought of another possible way.

"In what way?"

Bailang was a little curious about what method he was talking about.

This problem actually bothered him for several days.

As his fleet continues to expand, more people are constantly needed. It is very easy to just find a random person to work.

But Bailang didn't want to do this. He just wanted to find people he could trust.

It's really not easy to find someone who works hard and doesn't have any bells and whistles these days.

"We might be able to fish in another way, and the simplest one is to take turns."

"For example, buy another big boat, and then the two big boats go out to sea together. One of them will return to the dock when it is full of fish, and then rush back after unloading the cargo. The two boats will take turns working continuously."

Wang Jianguo pondered his thoughts and spoke slowly.

The advantage of his method is that it does not require buying too many fishing boats or manpower.

They can even do it now.

Bailang thought about it carefully and nodded. What he said was indeed a good idea.

Even if the fishing boats really drift at sea for two or three days, one boat can be filled with fish and return to the dock first, while the other boat continues to catch.

If it’s not too far from the pier, it’s completely timely and you can cycle continuously.

"Uncle Jianguo, the method you mentioned is indeed effective, but if we go farther away, to the open sea, this method will be more troublesome."

"It may be too late. For example, the other ship may be full before the ship that goes back to unload the goods has come back."

The method mentioned by Wang Jianguo has great limitations.

Especially since they are going to fish further afield next.

Two round trips for a fishing boat, plus the time for unloading and loading, may take a whole day.

Although they can add one or two more fishing boats and create a continuous cycle of three or four boats, this will also put a lot of pressure on manpower.

Wang Jianguo nodded, the problem Bai Lang mentioned did exist.

If the place where they fish is too far from the dock, this method is obviously not suitable.

"Prodigal, what do you think of this method? We can buy another very large ship, the kind specially used for hauling goods!"

"This kind of boat cannot fish. Although it travels slowly, it has a very large space, which is very suitable for us."

"We can even buy two of these very large cargo ships at once, replace that small boat, and go out to sea with that big fishing boat."

"We have exactly seven people now. We only need four people for fishing, and the remaining three are just enough to sail the boat."

Bailang's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing the village chief's method.

The method he mentioned is actually very simple, that is, one boat is dedicated to fishing, and the other two boats are dedicated to pulling cargo.

It is enough for one person to sail the cargo ship, so it does not require too many manpower.

After arriving at the dock, just arrange the loading and unloading people.

"Village Chief, it is absolutely true that every old man in the family is like a treasure. This method is the most suitable for us without increasing manpower."

The village chief's idea is indeed a good one.

Without increasing manpower, only two more ships are needed.

"I also think this method is good. With a ship dedicated to transporting cargo, we only need to be responsible for fishing, and the efficiency will definitely be greatly improved."

Wang Jianguo also agreed with the village chief's approach.

Although everyone's fishing workload will increase a lot this way, the money they earn will definitely be more.

As long as they can make more money, hardship and fatigue are nothing to them.Bailang thought about it for a while and decided to use this method for the time being.

"Okay, let's go fishing according to this method for the time being. We just need to buy two more large cargo ships."

Bailang decided not to use the original boat to go fishing.

At first, when he came back, there was nothing wrong with driving the boat alone, but now as more and more seafood is caught, the small boat is obviously not suitable anymore.

Not only is the range unattainable, but the load capacity is also poor. Now it is useless to him.

"However, no matter what, this is a temporary measure. We will continue to recruit people. The current method can only solve the current problems we are facing."

"After all, everyone's workload has increased, and it is very likely that they will not be able to bear it."

"The other thing is that in the long run, we will definitely add more fishing boats and go to farther places, so we will definitely need more manpower."

Bailang knew that his fleet was likely to expand rapidly in a very short period of time.

More fishing boats will be bought and more manpower will be needed.

Moreover, people must be recruited in advance, because everyone needs to get used to it, and at the same time, it is necessary to check whether the person is suitable.

Once the fleet is expanded and new fishing boats are purchased, those people can be sent to the new boats.

In this way, we don’t have to be like today, in a hurry, trying to buy a fishing boat, but there is no one to drive it.

If he had started recruiting people earlier, let alone adding two new ships now, there would be no problem even adding five or six ships.

Bailang's fleet cannot expand rapidly. The core problem is that there are not enough people to sail and fish.

So they must prepare now to expand again later.

"Prodigal, I think your idea is very good, and we will definitely need to buy more new boats before long."

The mayor laughed.

He knew this would happen sooner or later.

Originally, he thought that Bailang would have to spend one or two years to complete the initial accumulation before slowly expanding its fleet.

But looking at it now, this time is much shorter than he imagined.

"If there are still people in our village who are willing to come back and fish with me, I have to tell them and come back as soon as possible."

Bailang still prefers the people in his village.

After all, they know everything. In the vast sea, everyone feels more at ease getting along with such people.

You know, there are countless things that have happened on the sea where people have been stabbed and unable to come back.

Bailang should try his best to avoid such accidents.

"Let me handle this matter!"

The village chief took over the matter immediately.

He is the village chief, he knows the people in the village best, and he has the highest seniority, so he has no problem handling this matter.

Although Bailang is the boss, he is junior and unfamiliar with many people, so communication is not that convenient.

The village chief took the initiative to take on this matter, in fact, it was for his consideration.

Next, Bai Lang, village chief Wang Jianguo and others continued to talk about development plans and possible problems while drinking.

Dazhu and Wang Dayong were drinking and listening nearby.

It was early in the morning before we knew it, and everyone had already drank a lot.

Bailang knew he couldn't continue drinking, otherwise he would probably get drunk.

They have to go see the boat early tomorrow.

The two ships must be bought back as soon as possible. The sooner this is completed, the sooner they can go to sea.

After everyone dispersed, Bailang returned home and lay on the bed unable to fall asleep for a while.

He has been thinking about the future development of his fleet.

The most important thing is how to complete the system upgrade again in the shortest time.

Because after the system is upgraded to another level, he can go to farther seas, or directly go to the ocean.

For fishermen, the open ocean is their real battlefield, where countless treasures lie, but also countless dangers are hidden.

Therefore, before going to the ocean, you must be fully prepared.

While Bai Lang was lying on the bed, dreaming about flexing his muscles in the ocean, he gradually fell asleep unconsciously.

Late at night, Lao Chen Fishing Tackle Shop.

Chen Yunshan saw off the last customer. He was very tired. He locked the store door and sat down on the sofa without moving.

"Hey, making money is a good thing, but it's really tiring."

Chen Xinyue sat opposite him. She had been slumped here 10 minutes ago and didn't want to move at all.

After Chen Yunshan rested for a while, he forced himself to boil water and make a pot of hot tea. After taking a few sips, he finally regained his energy.

"Indeed, our store has made a lot of money during this period, but it has also exhausted us."

Chen Yunshan shook his head.

In the past half month, the two of them were so busy that they only had three or four hours of sleep every day. They were so exhausted that they could only grit their teeth and hold on.

"Dad, when can I take a vacation?"

Chen Xinyue let out a long sigh.

After Chen Yunshan heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

This is not reliable at all.

The business in their store is really good now, and the business in their store will even be very good for a long time to come.

The important thing is that as Bailang's fleet grows larger and its reputation in the fishing circle grows, their small shop may really turn into a fishing gear company.

By that time, they will only be busier and will definitely not be as free as they are now.

And he also understands his daughter's character. When she gets up tomorrow and sees the business in the store is booming, she will definitely feel like a chicken.

As long as you make money, don't sleep only four hours a day, you can survive even if you don't sleep for three days and three nights.

"Come on, as long as you make money and your business is good, there's nothing to complain about. As long as you can make enough money, it's worth a little more work."

After drinking a few cups of tea, Chen Yunshan felt a little better.

But he had no intention of going back to sleep in the first place.

The business in the store is too busy now. From the day before yesterday, he has been guarding the store alone. After all, it is too dangerous for his daughter to be here alone.

After Chen Xinyue returned, Chen Yunshan also lay down directly on the sofa.

I have to get up early tomorrow morning to open a store, so I can sleep a little longer while doing business.
