Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 228 Off-road Vehicle

The next morning, when Hanwaer and I collected the eel cages, we found that two of the nets had been stolen.

The other nets that were not stolen were also just average. The goods in this place are almost gone, but the other rivers are occupied, so I can only take the nets back and come back again in a few days.

He caught four or five pounds of eels, and he kept one pound for his family to eat. He and the kid took the rest to the street to sell.

The two brothers got a haircut as well. They had only had it cut once since the Chinese New Year, and they looked like wild men.

They both have hard hair, and when they wake up in the morning their hair looks like a chicken coop. They have to be groomed, and it's hot now.

To save trouble, the silly kid shaved his hair very short.

Qin Dahe had the same hairstyle as Jet Li, but the barber's skills were not very good, so his head looked a bit square.

Because he thought it was too ugly, he finally changed to a shaved head.

The two of them sat in the car like prisoners in a labor camp, which was quite scary. It would take at least a week for them to look better.

Send the kid back. He and his grandfather are going to install the crossbeam today, so there is no need to go and help. Tiedan's situation is almost the same. It will take a few days before the main beam is officially hung.

It was a rare day off, so Qin Dahe went home and took his fishing rod to the sluice to play.

It's been a while since I last went lure fishing, so I decided to give it a try.

He was not interested in fishing for silver carp and bighead carp, as it was tiring and there were not many catches, so he came here to see if he could catch some mandarin fish to eat.

I bought a pound of loaches when I went to the vegetable market this morning. I can just hang them up and throw them towards the sluice gate. There is no need to make a nest. There are always a lot of predatory fish at the sluice gate.

When he arrived at the fishing spot below, there were seven other fishermen guarding it. When they saw him coming, they immediately greeted him.

"Boss Qin, why are you here fishing today?"

"Haha, let's see if I can get two mandarin fish to eat." He didn't even take down the transfer box, but just stacked the two buckets together, and put loaches in the innermost small bucket.

"How do you do it?" The fisherman who asked the question became interested and came over.

Everyone knows that Qin Dahe is good at fishing.

"Just throw the loach on it, no skill required." He chuckled and started to put the bait on.

There are also two soft baits, but now that we can get live bait, there is no need to go through the trouble of hanging plastic bait.

It is said that there is no skill, but you still need to use skill to cast the lure rod.

With the loach hanging on it, it quickly flew towards the gate with the crisp sound of Shimano's wheels turning. Others looked at it and were amazed, it was so far.

One throw is more than 40 meters, which looks very easy.

But if he wanted to throw it farther, the line would easily break, and he was not very confident.

He turned one of the empty buckets over, sat directly on it, and calmly began to reel in the line.

This time we are fishing in half water, which means we start collecting the loaches before they fall to the bottom of the water, to prevent them from getting stuck on the bottom. The target fish is mandarin fish.

If you want to catch black carp, you have to fish on the water surface, because black carp like small fish on the water surface.

Reel in the line in rhythm without making any fake moves, the loach will twist on its own.

Unfortunately, the first cast was empty, followed by the second cast.

Now I am bored and can only play this. When I am completely free, I can go to the outer river to try to catch black fish.

I caught a fish before I even pulled in half of my second rod. The sound of water cutting through the water was endless. It’s such a pleasure to fish for predatory fish.

I happily pulled the line in, but saw that it was still a black carp. I put the fish away with a bit of disgust and continued casting.

The others also became excited when they saw this. Now that the silver carp and bighead carp were biting less, they all came to see him.

"How much is this rod? Is it a sea rod?"

"About that. A lure rod of similar quality will cost you several hundred dollars." He said with a smile and reeled in the line again.

The fish bite here is not as good as I expected. I only caught a black carp weighing more than three kilograms after five casts.

"It's so expensive." Everyone was secretly amazed.

Although I spent 20 yuan to buy silver carp and bighead carp bait last month, it was because I could make money and selling fish could cover the expenses.

This month the price was changed to ten yuan per pound, so they bought a lot less.

"The one I have is more expensive." Qin Dahe smiled and started to reel in the line.

Although the lure rod only costs a few hundred dollars on the black market, the actual price is at least several thousand dollars, and it is not available in their small place.

The seventh cast caught a fish again, and the sound of rapid water cutting made people's adrenaline surge, and everyone was very satisfied watching it.

He was delighted, it was mandarin fish.

Sure enough, what was pulled up was a two-pound spotted mandarin fish, what a good thing.

I happily put the fish in the bucket, but now there is no place to sit, so I can only catch it while standing.

The loss of live bait is quite high. I throw out one rod after another and soon there are only five left. So far, I have only caught two mandarin fish and one black carp.

Qin Dahe thought about it, put the loach on the ground, and started to fish with soft bait on the water surface.

After throwing it to the other side, pull it and pause according to the rhythm to form a regular movement trajectory.

When crossing the middle of the river, there was suddenly a big explosion.

"Haha, the goods are here."

I put the fishing rod directly on my stomach and felt excited. Finally, a big catch came.

At this time, an old man next to him also caught a fish. The big bow cut through the water at a very fast speed, and the momentum was even louder than his.

"Ce, they caught all the big fish."

The other fishermen were depressed because they caught a big fish at the same time, but it had nothing to do with them.

Qin Dahe saw clearly the mouth that just burst open. It was a black carp, at least meter-sized.

I have been fishing for silver carp and bighead carp at Dazha for a long time, and I have never encountered any small fish disturbing the nest, so there must be a lot of black carp.

The fish was strong, so he took his time because he was afraid of cutting the braided line, reeling it in from time to time. If the fish struggled too hard, he would release the reel.

It took more than twenty minutes to get up.

“It’s this big.”

"Haha, go back and eat it yourself." He happily turned the fish upside down and put it into the bucket, then quickly picked it up and kept it.

The bucket is too small and won't fit.

There is a large transfer box inside the tricycle, so you can put the fish in it for a short time.

The fisherman next door also pulled up a silver carp weighing more than 20 kilograms, and everyone was very envious.

A month ago, a 20-jin silver carp was not noticeable, but now it is rare, and you may not even find one or two in a day.

"I'm leaving now, you guys have fun." He waved his hand and went upstairs.

I went out fishing alone today, and there was no one to help me watch the tricycle, so I couldn't feel at ease leaving the fish on it.

When I got home, I immediately poured the mandarin fish into the fish basket.

If you put the black carp directly in the basin, it may not survive. It is too spoiled and might as well be eaten.

"Mom, let's cook some black croaker for lunch. I just got some." "Such a big black croaker costs one or two hundred yuan." Mother Qin felt a little distressed when she looked at the big black croaker. It was very valuable.

"You clean up the fish. I'll send some to Yanyan's father later, and then bring lunch to the girl. She's sure she'll like it." He said with a smile.

Sure enough, moving Yanyan out immediately worked, and Qin's mother picked up the fish and started killing it.

"Are we still going to kill the eels?"

"Let's keep it first and eat it the day after tomorrow." This black carp should be enough to eat for two days. "Dad, I saw that Uncle Six and the others didn't go fishing today."

"You went to work in the fields. Do you think everyone is as idle as you?" Qin's mother said unhappily.

While my mother started to get busy, he rode his three-wheeled motorcycle out to pull out colored steel tiles.

When it rains, you can't walk back and forth in the yard. You have to build a corridor to connect them.

There are no colored steel tiles in the town, so you have to go to Xuexiang behind Chenwan to transport them, which is very troublesome.

The motorcycle tricycle is faster than the big tricycle. With the windows open, I walked on the county road, feeling the cool breeze blowing in from the windows on both sides. I lit a cigarette and smoked it happily.

Then the phone rang.

"Hey, Dahe, are you busy?"

"I'm not busy, uncle." The motorcycle tricycle stopped directly on the side of the road. There must be something wrong when the uncle asked questions.

The total phone bill on both sides is three dollars per minute. No matter how rich you are, you can't afford to make frequent calls.

"Does QQ have any good plans? QQ is about to start another round of financing, and our company has not obtained the qualifications for follow-up investment." My uncle said worriedly.

In fact, even if the shares are diluted or kicked out, you can still make money. The profit is at least doubled, from four million to eight million.

But who would be willing to get off at this stage of take-off? Mr. Wang has paid attention to this matter and asked him to handle it well.

"Okay, I'll make a phone call and talk about it." Qin Dahe took a deep puff of his cigarette.

He really doesn't care about QQ matters. He just received his salary three times. It's hard to make him do his best with such a small amount of money, unless his uncle calls him.

"I will handle it."

"Can you really do it?" My uncle was surprised and said, "If you can do it, I will give you a reward in the name of the company. They will definitely have no objection."

Qin Dahe thought about it and felt that he didn't seem to be short of anything, so it would be meaningless to just give him money.

His eyes lit up when he thought about taking his wife out fishing next year.

“How much is the reward?”

"How about I give you 200,000 as long as it's done?" said my uncle indifferently.

After all, he is my nephew, and there are still several million in the company account that have not been spent, so I just give him to him.

Qin Dahe felt that it was useless for him to have money as he couldn't spend it in the countryside.

"Uncle, can you get a large off-road vehicle in Shenzhen so I can go fishing?" It's not that he asked for an exorbitant price, but the information he provided was worth the price.

As long as my uncle's investment company can catch up with two rounds, it is normal to make tens of millions of dollars. He remembers that Tencent will be listed soon because its user growth is too fast.

"You want to go off-road, right? I'll go ask and have someone get you a smuggled import vehicle. You can spend a little money to get the license plate yourself." My uncle said easily.

Imported off-road vehicles are expensive in the mainland, but they are really cheap in Shenzhen, and it’s not just a matter of tariffs.

All kinds of parallel imports and smuggled goods will be transshipped near Guangzhou, so it is very convenient to buy them.

If you buy it in the mainland, a car that costs 100,000 yuan overseas can cost 300,000 yuan, which is really too expensive.

"Don't worry, I'll call Mr. Ma and we'll talk about it after I've got it done." Qin Dahe smiled and threw the cigarette butt out of the window.

"Okay, it's up to you. If we can stabilize this wave, our company will take off directly." My uncle said excitedly.

Several shareholders were nearby. After hanging up the phone, Ah Qing and the others couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?"

"That kid is very confident, haha." The uncle said proudly that his nephew was really reliable.

He stated the conditions that Qin Dahe had just mentioned, a large off-road vehicle, and everyone present immediately nodded when they heard it.

"It's just a car, give him a good one, maybe you'll need it in the future."

"That's right, give it to him."

The four major shareholders said arrogantly that they were really shocked by the profits of the investment company.

Someone paid 123 million to buy this crappy portal website hao2000. They didn't spend any money on this investment, but now they can make millions.

However, after comprehensive consideration, the founder and I decided not to sell it for the time being because the price was not enough.

As for QQ, the shares they hold are now worth tens of millions, but they only invested a few million at the time.

Both of these investments were made by the boy from the countryside, so it is reasonable to spend hundreds of thousands to buy a car.

On the other side, Mr. Ma was talking to someone from IDG Capital. He was startled when he saw the phone ringing in his hand. It had been a long time since they had contacted each other.

"Sorry, I'm going to take a call."

"Okay, regarding the next round of financing, I will come up with a plan as soon as possible." The head of IDG said politely.

This company has great potential. The number of user registrations has increased dramatically, and although its recent profitability has not turned positive, it has clearly improved. The headquarters is very optimistic about it.

After leaving the meeting room, Mr. Ma answered the phone.

Ten minutes later, he rubbed his brows and entered the meeting room with a wry smile.

"Wushang Capital needs to maintain this share in the next round of financing and be eligible for follow-up investment."

"What?" The head of IDG stood up in shock.

We had just agreed that after this round of dilution, we would directly kick out my uncle and his non-business company in the next round.

"There's nothing we can do. Their company has a very mysterious product manager." Mr. Ma sighed.

He really couldn't bear to let go of this product manager and wanted to invite him to Shenzhen immediately, but the man was unwilling to do it and refused to do it no matter how much money was offered.

It just means that in future cooperation with Wushang Capital, we will cooperate as appropriate.

What he meant was that as long as they had no business capital, they could work for them, and if his uncle withdrew, he would not bother with them.

He was quite depressed after hearing this. He had just promised the other party options, but the other party was not moved at all. Alas!
Today, Qin Dahe only mentioned a QQ group chat and QQ space, among which the space was what Mr. Ma focused on this time.

Once a social interaction platform is formed, the daily activity of users will increase significantly.

Qin Dahe said that he had a detailed product plan and would send it to them later.

In fact, he has nothing. Everything was thought up on the spot, and he had to work overtime to write it when he got home.

I can only say that the current QQ is still too simple, and there is still a lot of product optimization that can be improved.

He would wait until the company went public to discuss other information. He was not in a hurry to make a deal, so he didn't even take it to heart.

For him, waiting for his wife to give birth, going fishing for giant fish, or going to a loach nest with Scar are all more interesting than these internet companies.

After finishing the negotiation here, I called my uncle again to let him know that everything was settled and I just needed to prepare the follow-up investment money.

The four people who were waiting for the news were very excited when they heard the news. They were happy to be able to invest. They did not ask for more shares. As long as they kept the 10% shares in their hands, it would be enough.
