Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 246

"Ce, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?" This son is too unreliable.

"I'm just buying a car, a used one at that."

"Okay, when the car comes back, we have to hold a party at home." Qin's father glared at him. Buying a car is a big deal now. How can you not invite relatives? Even if it is a second-hand car, you have to treat people to a meal.

Qin Dahe was taking things for granted. In later generations, people didn't even have a string of firecrackers when they bought a car.

Plus, I've been quite busy lately and forgot to talk to my mom and the others about the car.

Yanyan thought that the minivan was not prestigious and not as good-looking as the sedan, so she didn't say anything.

"Oh, it's up to you, do whatever you want." He didn't care about that.

"I'm going to take an exam this afternoon. Please keep an eye on me if I'm not back by four."

"I understand. Don't worry." Qin's father waved his hand.

He was very happy to think that his family would soon have a car. It would be such a face-lift.

He didn't know yet that the car his son wanted was an off-road vehicle. If he had known, he would definitely not be so happy.

"By the way, Dad, how much did it sell for this morning?" He remembered that they caught nearly two thousand kilograms of fish last night.

There was also the goods that Mr. Wang and his team fished for five hours, and the payment for the goods alone was more than 20,000 yuan. Qin's father and his team also fished for four hours in the early morning, so the money must have been quite a lot.

"A little over 30,000, plus the two batches sold earlier, the total is more than 55,000." Qin's father took out the account book in his hand and said happily.

"That's a lot, Ce. Give me the account book. I'll go get some money and distribute it to everyone later."

"It's time to take it."

Thirty percent of the 55,000 yuan payment is nearly 17,000 yuan. They are not comfortable leaving such a large amount of money with Scar Ye.

No matter how good the relationship is in terms of appearance, you have to be extremely careful when it comes to money. It would be nonsense to go and get it after a week.

Besides, everyone works very hard, working ten hours a day, which is even more tiring than working on a construction site. We need to give them some money as a motivator.

After getting the account book, Qin Dahe rode his bike and went straight to the Chinese medicine hospital to get treated for injuries.

I spent dozens of dollars to have the doctor give me a ten-minute massage and give me some medicated wine. When he came out, he was holding a box of anti-inflammatory drugs in his hand.

Nowadays, people also emphasize the combination of Chinese and Western medicine. The Chinese hospital prescribed amoxicillin for him, hey.

However, this massage did make me feel much more comfortable, and then I went to Scar Master to pay the bill.

I brought the account books with me three times. I caught fish once yesterday morning and once at one o'clock in the afternoon. This morning there was an even bigger wave.

"Scar Master."

"Dahe, why are you here at this time?" Scar saw him smiling, he was really the God of Wealth. "How was your fishing?"

"Very good, the nest is well maintained." Qin Dahe smiled.

"How much did you pay for that largemouth catfish? It was my first big one."

"It weighs 87 pounds, and I bought it for 25 yuan per pound. Is that good enough?" The whole fish costs more than yuan, so this price is indeed acceptable.

"Okay, thanks."

He took out a cigarette, lit it for Scar, and then lit one for himself and took a deep breath.

"Scar, can you settle part of the bill now? The payment for the goods is a bit high, and the spending is huge with so many people involved." He said politely.

What you said is all bullshit. Everyone saw how I ate and drank. It didn't cost much money. The fishing gear was also brought from my hometown, but the scene must look better.

"Based on a 30% calculation, that's 16,800 now." Scar pulled out his account book. "I'll give you 10,000 first, and then I'll pay you another 10,000 in two days. How about that?"

"Okay, thank you, Scar." Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he could pay the bill.

"We have to work hard from now on so that we can make money together."

"Haha, of course. Brothers have tried their best. We will definitely be able to catch more fish after we get paid when we go back." Qin Dahe nodded with a smile.

Both of them knew it very well, one was controlling others and the other didn't want to be controlled.

Being able to pay them 10,000 yuan is an attitude, and not paying them the full amount is to prevent them from doing anything wrong.

If all the money is paid, and I want to go for the big one and take home fish worth tens of thousands of dollars, Scar can't do anything about it. Should I go to the countryside to cause trouble for Qin Dahe?

Although we have known each other for a year, we still have to be cautious, but this is the normal attitude to do business.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not talk about their friendship.

"Have you ever done business before?" Scar asked curiously.

He looked at Qin Dahe a little differently. He was very experienced in his words and deeds. He felt a sense of mutual understanding when getting along with a veteran like him. He was much better than his son.

"You idiot, your little tricks are nothing compared to yours."

"Haha, you're just making a small fortune. You can conservatively earn 20,000 yuan from this place."

"Scar, you paid a high price this time. Let's get rich together. There's no need to be envious, right?"

"Haha, that's true." Scar was very happy to hear that.

Some people only see the thief eating meat but not the thief being beaten. He likes Qin Dahe's attitude of not being jealous.

The loach farming alone cost 20,000 yuan, and there was also the cost of coordinating the location and renting the yard, so the cost was not low.

According to the most conservative estimate, I can earn 150,000 yuan from fishing in a week. I give myself 45,000 yuan, and the remaining money after deducting the minor expenses is only 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.

The risks involved are huge. If he is surrounded by fishermen and they drag him with their nets one day, he won't have much to do.

Today's fishermen in the Yangtze River are not afraid of anything. They would not be surprised if there are two shotguns on the boat.

After leaving Scar Grandpa's place, Qin Dahe went to buy two more barrels of gasoline. The motorcycle tricycle had been burning a lot of gasoline these days. Then he returned to Longwo Lake and started distributing bonuses.

When we arrived at the place, it was only half past ten. We had been fishing for nine and a half hours and everyone was almost tired.

The average age of Qin's father and his colleagues is about 37 or 38 years old. How can they compare with a group of twenty-year-old guys like us who can work for more than ten hours and still have the energy to chat.

When they arrived at the scene, the four of them were silent as they fished and guarded the place. They probably had finished talking about the topic.

His arrival was welcomed by three dogs, and two of the little ones circled around his feet and were almost stepped on.

"It's time to get paid. I got 10,000 yuan in commission today. Everyone, take a break and go back to eat."

When they heard about the distribution of money, several people became somewhat cheerful, even Mr. Wang was no exception.

Although fishing is just a hobby, being able to make money is a sense of accomplishment.

"Those of us with less money now still have over a thousand yuan. I won't be too frivolous. I'll give everyone a thousand yuan first, and I'll pay it every two days."

He found a bench to sit on and took out a large stack of green banknotes.

"We'll settle the rest together after we finish. Is that okay with everyone?"

"Dahe, leave my share in your hands and give it to me when you get home." Uncle Liu said with a smile. He had to worry about losing the money if he had it with him.

They are all from the same hometown who have known each other for so many years, so there is still some trust in each other over a few thousand dollars. Of course, the Qin family itself is getting more and more prosperous, which also makes people feel at ease.

"Haha, send it first. You can give it to me after you have it and enjoy it."

Qin Dahe started distributing money with a smile, even giving his father a fifty-dollar bill.

After handing over the money, he softly said, "Don't keep a record of it," and the old man immediately laughed.

The big money from fishing must be handed over. The food expenses at home are very high now, but it is still convenient to have some private money on hand.

The other two were very happy to get the money, especially Brother Yan. He usually only had 500 yuan in pocket money a month, but he was able to earn so much by fishing this time.

"I'll work with you again next time, Ce. It's really profitable." Mr. Wang nodded. This fishing trip was really profitable. He was a businessman and he could easily calculate the daily fishing expenses.

The key point is that the Qin family father and son have very good table manners, so they only take 10%, which is very rare.

According to the current fishing situation, if 50% of the fish are taken out, a lot of people will come to do this and earn hundreds of yuan a day.

Uncle Liu put the money in his hand and counted it, then satisfied himself and gave it back to him.

At this time, the silly kid came over.

"Kid, why are you here on duty so early? Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten." The kid smiled innocently and went to tie the fishing line.

They change their fishing line every day, whether it is cut or not, otherwise the line group will be damaged and the fish will easily escape.

"You can settle your accounts when you get home." Qin Dahe pulled the silly kid to the side and showed him his account book.

He was extremely happy to learn that the total value of the fish he caught in a day and a half was more than 8,000 yuan, and his commission was more than 2,000 yuan.

"Thank you, brother."

"Haha, why thank me? I'll just work hard at noon."

Qin Dahe patted the boy's shoulder and started to cook fish for Gouzi.

He went straight to Qin's father's fish basket and pulled out a black carp, chopped it into pieces and cooked it in a small aluminum pot.

This pot is specifically used to boil water and cook fish for the dog.

I have to feed the dog rice every night when it's time for dinner, otherwise he will definitely not like eating fish every day.

Qin's father and the others had already gone back to eat, leaving only Qin Dahe and Hanwaer at the dock.

At noon in summer, the sun is extremely hot, and the air is distorted when looking from the pier to the levee.

Hot weather is coming.

After having lunch in the yard at noon, I obtained Mr. Wang’s consent and practiced entering, moving and reversing the warehouse with his Santana.

The second subject now is called the pole test. There are wooden poles everywhere during the test. You will pass if you don’t hit the poles when moving on the road. Even if you hit them, it’s okay if you hit them if the person taking the test doesn’t care.

Mr. Wang’s old Santana is the same model as the one in the driving school, and it is quite comfortable.

After getting in the car, he even accompanied Qin Dahe for two laps, fearing that he might have an accident while driving.

As a result, after regaining the familiarity of manual transmission, the car drove very smoothly.

He tried reverse parking, parallel parking, and fixed-spot parking in turn.

"Sure, Xiao Qin, have you ever driven a car before?"

"Haha, I have driven it. I tried a classmate's car when I was in college." He said casually.

The first car I bought in my previous life was in 09. It was an old manual transmission Jetta with very poor handling.

Later, when I started making money in business, I started to upgrade to Honda, and then to automatic transmission cars.

Although he hadn't driven a manual transmission car for more than ten years, when his memory came back to him, he could immediately perform various actions skillfully.

"Okay, you can practice with the key by yourself." Brother Wang said generously.

His car is so dirty. He needs to use it to load building materials when working on the construction site and to store fishing gear at other times. He has turned a sedan into a small van.

It's a mess inside, so I don't feel bad about lending it to others.

Qin Dahe thanked him and began to conduct various training projects on the flat ground below the levee.

It's fine as long as it's roughly the same. Safety officers are all staff members of the driving school, so it's not too easy to get a certificate.

I practiced until after one o'clock, then rode a three-wheeled motorcycle to the driving school for the test. Now I can't drive on the road without a driver's license.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the four brothers gathered again and started fishing under the scorching sun at three o'clock in the afternoon.

This is almost the hottest time of the day, and I'm sweating non-stop just sitting on the fishing platform.

"Ce, it's hot." Erhu went straight to the river and fetched a bucket of water and poured it on himself, which made him feel better.

"Making money, haha, more than a thousand yuan a day." Qin Dahe chuckled.

These four young men spend more time fishing and earn more than others.

The afternoon's Subject 1 test went very smoothly. He didn't even open the driving test manual and passed it in one go.

This thing tests your traffic common sense.

Some of the question options come with very clear hints. If you pay attention, it's not difficult to get 90 points.

It was the same in my previous life. I passed the test without even looking at the manual.

I went fishing again. The riverside was a little noisier today. A group of wild ducks came.

"Dahe, let's shoot two for fun?" Tiedan was a little tempted. He was numb from pulling out so many times every day.

"You can play if you want. I'm fishing anyway."

The wild duck is not tasty at all, and the meat is very tough.

This time I brought two crossbows for self-defense when fishing, so there will be no problem shooting wild ducks.

"Forget it. It will be hard to explain if the amount of money we earn is too big." Tiedan said angrily.

The weight of his fish caught so far is the least among the four people, and so is his money, so he needs to work harder.

"Haha, why don't you go fishing quickly?"

The fishing conditions were a bit poor due to the high temperature in the afternoon. Most of the fish were black carp, which made everyone a bit annoyed when fishing.

"All the little carp come over to eat loaches. It never ends." Erhu threw a carp weighing more than one kilogram onto the shore in annoyance.

It's too small and can't be sold for money.

"Haha, that's it. Let's go fishing along the shore at night." Qin Dahe smiled as he caught an eight-jin alligator.

It doesn’t matter whether the black carp runs away or not. As long as you confirm it is a black carp, you can fly directly without any regrets even if you have to cut the line.

"Brother, look, what is that?" The kid pointed at a black thing floating in the distance.

Everyone looked over and thought that fishing was boring, so everyone could talk about whatever they encountered.

When I got closer, I realized it was driftwood with two ducks on it.

"It's just wood."

"Oh!"

Two huge yellow heads appeared from the left and right sides of the driftwood almost at the same time.

The two wild ducks standing on it didn't even have time to scream before they were dragged into the water, which scared them a lot.

"Oh my god, such a big water tiger?" Qin Dahe was a little surprised.

Just by seeing the fish head, I knew it weighed at least 80 or 90 kilograms.

Moreover, big fish usually have big bellies, perhaps weighing over 100 kilograms.

"Yeah, why don't we catch many such big alligators?" Erhu asked in confusion.

It doesn't make sense. There were two giant alligators right next to them, and they were only fishing for small alligators, weighing at most a dozen pounds. Only he was lucky enough to catch a giant one.
