Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 307

Afterwards, Qin Dahe drove Baoer and Hanwa to the town to play, and then went home for lunch. Such a big thing as giving gifts had nothing to do with the three young people, so it was better not to get in the way.

Baoer was very polite to him, and even though he was one year older than him, he still called him "big brother".

He didn't have anything prepared this time, so he just took out two hundred yuan in cash and handed it over.

"You two go to town to buy some things or something. I won't join in the fun. I'll go to the Internet cafe to play for a while." He said with a smile and stepped on the accelerator and drove straight to the town.

He dropped them off at the intersection, not caring where they were going to date, and went surfing the Internet.

I turned on the computer and logged into the forum, and there were more than fifty new replies.

It's really interesting to chat with these people. Although everyone likes fishing, they sometimes talk about other things, just like friends, speaking freely on the forum platform.

He also opened a separate bait post, which contains baits he made himself, and is divided into categories for different types of fish.

This has almost become an online communication platform for fishing tackle store owners. Although not many orders are placed, they often communicate with colleagues in this post.

For example, it will write down what might be mixed in a certain manufacturer's bait, how much profit it makes, etc.

Mr. Xu from Jinling is relatively active. It has been raining heavily in Jinling recently, and he has nothing to do, so he stays in the forum every day to brag.

Qin Dahe posted another thread today, urging everyone to go fishing for silver carp and bighead carp. After the heavy rain, the water quality in the river will become rich, and silver carp and bighead carp will usher in a small climax.

He also set his sights on this fish mouth and planned to go to the sluice gate to fish after the heavy rain stopped.

At the end of the post, he wrote, "The more people, the better. Regional fogging will attract a large number of silver carp and bighead carp. I hope everyone will not miss this opportunity."

As soon as the post was published, three people replied, and the boss of Jinling was the first to reply.

"Haha, I'll ask someone to organize a fight then. Boss Qin needs to prepare the bait."

The reason why silver carp and bighead carp bait is so profitable is that it sells very quickly. A bag of two kilograms is not enough for half a day, and a dozen people can use more than a hundred kilograms a day.

Jinling is a big city with extensive water systems. Even now in 2001, there are still many fishermen.

There is also a newbie asking how to fish when the water is moving. When fishing for silver carp and bighead carp, you should fish on the float. If the water is moving too fast, the float will slide to the edge.

Before Qin Dahe could reply, some enthusiastic netizens asked him to watch the previous article about silver carp and bighead carp and try the double-lead fishing method.

"Double lead can only solve the problem of small flows. It can't handle the current flow rate of the Yangtze River. As for the tributaries, it depends on the water flow conditions." He also replied.

It’s useless even if the water god comes, you can only fish with a dull rod.

I was surfing the Internet when a customer from Sichuan Province called and said he saw the post and wanted to place an order.

Qin Dahe asked and found out that the other party was a fishing tackle store, so he wholesaled it to the store at a price of eight yuan, but asked the other party to pay the express delivery fee.

"Don't you have SF Express over there?"

"No, I asked specifically. If you want to send express delivery, you have to go to Jinling, which is too troublesome." He said with a wry smile.

Postal delivery is indeed expensive. Twenty kilograms of bait starts at several hundred yuan.

"Boss Qin, let's sell it first. If possible later, I will help you sell it here." The other party said tentatively.

"Okay." Qin Dahe nodded.

This depends on the effectiveness of the bait. If the effect is good, we will probably have to charter a car to send it over, and then they will sell it directly there.

"In fact, I have three customers in Sichuan Province. They all gave good feedback and said it is suitable for local fishing conditions."

"I understand. I'll transfer the money to you now." The other party said politely.

The banks in town are not yet connected to the Internet, so it is impossible to transfer money. It is really troublesome.

After hanging up the phone and writing the bill down in the phone book, he continued chatting on the forum.

Mainly, I chatted with several owners of fishing tackle stores. These people are among the first group of people in the country who deal in fishing tackle. They have vision and brains, and maybe we can cooperate in the future.

Knowing that Qin Dahe is going to catch a 200-jin giant green catfish next year, many people said they would come to the scene to communicate.

Those who can chat under his post must be professional fishermen, and everyone is looking forward to catching big fish.

And he can be trusted offline. At least he sold bait to many people, and several news media reported his articles.

"By the way, there's an invitational tournament in Wuxi soon, a fishing competition with people from the island country. Is Mr. Dahe interested?"

"Yeah, I feel like Boss Qin's professionalism is even better than those fishing kings."

There is still a lot of sentiment towards the island country. When he heard that there was going to be a fishing competition with them, many people urged him to go.

"Haha, my wife is pregnant with twins, so how can I travel far? Maybe next year." He felt regretful.

A fishing competition usually takes several days, including the journey back and forth, preparing food and accommodation in advance, and exploring the water conditions, it takes at least ten days.

Now the girl’s belly is so round, how can she go out for more than ten days? She had to give up.

"If anyone wants to sign up, please contact me. I'll be an external aid." He said excitedly.

Just because he can’t go out doesn’t mean he can’t participate, and he’s interested in the competition, especially since he has so many fragrances on hand.

Essence may not be effective for fishing in natural waters, but it is very effective for fishing in black pits and fish ponds.

If he really met the same master of chemistry, he would go to a Chinese medicine store to get some medicine, and he would help others get a good result even if he had to pay for it himself.

Musk, cloves and many other Chinese medicinal materials have a high bonus on fishing. As the king of black pit medicine, this is his forte.

"I've signed up for the competition. Can I ask Mr. Dahe for some guidance?" a fisherman from Shanghai asked anxiously. He also owns a fishing tackle shop and sells a lot of imported fishing gear.

"Where is the water area? What kind of fish are there?" Qin Dahe asked. After thinking for a moment, he added, "It would be best if you could tell me the rules of the competition. I can give you some advice and help you get a good ranking."

"Let me call you."

After a while, his phone rang.

The other party's surname was Liu. After the call was connected, he excitedly told me about the competition.

The fishing spot has been chosen, it is in an area on the shore of Taihu Lake, in a natural water area.

But he hasn't gone there yet. I don't know what happened. It just happened that one of the contestants didn't go, so he got the spot.

Qin Dahe frowned when he heard this. It was a natural water area again. When would he be able to show off his skills as the King of Black Pit Medicine?

"Did the authorities use underwater cameras or sonar to help you choose your fishing spots? Are the fishing spots randomly selected?"

“The fishing spots were randomly selected, but there are no sonars or underwater cameras, and loach nests are also prohibited.” He must have seen Qin Dahe’s trip to the Yangtze River and knew how fierce the loach nests were.

"Tell me about it when you get there. I'll ask netizens if anyone knows anything about it."

After thinking for a moment, he spoke again, "If you want to get a ranking, at least your basic skills must be in place. Can you control the error of your 20-meter throw to within centimeters?"

In a fishing competition, unless you are very lucky and encounter schools of fish continuously, it will test the basic skills of the players.

Many factors, such as the state of the bait, the accuracy of the long rod casting, the loudness of the sound of the bait falling into the water, etc., are the key to whether or not you can catch fish.

A slight advantage can help you catch more fish than others in the same fishing conditions. Large-scale fishing tournaments are all based on a points system, and after four or five rounds, it's difficult for someone with poor basic skills to win based on pure luck. Of course, those entertainment tournaments don't count; one or two rounds won't reveal any skill.

"Yes, my two 20-meter imported fishing rods can basically achieve an error within centimeters." The other party said confidently.

Anyone who dares to sign up for the competition must be quite capable.

"How does the bait fall into the water? Is it sideways or smashed down?"

"Huh?" The fisherman on the other end of the phone was confused. "What's side entry?"

"Just cast it down, and it should just reach the top, so that the line will pull it back a little bit and it will gently fall into the water." Qin Dahe said with a smile, "This way you won't spook the fish in the nest."

"Oh." The other party suddenly realized, there is such a thing? "Is it too late for me to practice now? The competition is still ten days away."

"There's still time. Let's keep in touch and try to get a good ranking." Qin Dahe hung up the phone with a smile. The rest can be discussed in the forum. Long-distance calls are too expensive.

Opening the forum, he created another thread, asking about the fish situation in Wuxi near Taihu Lake, doing some research for the upcoming competition.

With over 20 followers, there's bound to be one who can help.

Then I posted some comments with my friends in the forum, asking the silly couple to play for a while longer.

But chatting in the forum is still a bit annoying, because the order is very messed up. Now the reply to the post bar is a new post, which is uncomfortable to read.

After thinking about it, I started to write a short essay about QQ group for QQ No. 003.

It is much more convenient to have a QQ group. You can create separate groups for your fishing friends and customers, and chatting will be much more comfortable.

003 responded quite quickly, saying that they would discuss it internally and make a sample first to try it out.

There were no group chat tools on the market at the moment, so he thought it was quite novel.

At this time, Baoer came in with Silly Kid. When the kid saw Qin Dahe, he wanted to break free but didn't dare to, and his face turned red.

"Brother." Baoer shouted, and Qin Dahe saw them then.

"Haha, let's go back and eat." After taking a look at the kid, this silly brother is really blessed.

He went to the bar to pay the bill and took the two of them home.

The weather is nice today and it is drizzling, otherwise it would be uncomfortable for them to go out and play.

"Where did you go?" After getting in the car and starting the engine, he turned around and asked the kid curiously.

"The vegetable market, to buy clothes." The silly kid held it in for a long time and almost started stuttering again.

"We went to the supermarket opposite the vegetable market, and he bought me some clothes." Baoer said.

"Not bad, it hurts people now, haha."

The car arrived at Baoer's house very quickly, just in time, as the kitchen in the yard had just started to get busy.

Only after they came down did they separate their hands. It was so affectionate.

Qin Dahe smiled and talked to Baoer's parents, telling them all about his fishing trip with Hanwaer.

There was also a magazine about four people catching white-fin dolphins, which Baoer's parents looked at with surprise.

"Back then, we went fishing in the Yangtze River. Han Wa would fish for 20 hours a day and earn over 1,000 yuan a day."

"We suffered so much. When we came back, we all looked like savages." Mother Qin smiled and recounted their situation at that time.

"Haha, as long as you can make money, there will be hardships." Baoer's father patted the silly kid's shoulder with a smile.

My son-in-law is hardworking and honest. My daughter has good taste.

Baoer's younger brother asked them about fishing out of curiosity. Although he was just a teenager and still had some stubble in his mouth, he was also interested in fishing.

Catching fish and shrimp is an activity that rural children like.

"It's in the ditch behind the flower-making factory. I brought people here last time and caught a lot of fish."

"There are fish in that place, but it's too dirty," he said excitedly.

There was still some time before dinner, so the four of them were chatting in the corridor in the yard.

They talked about everything, and Baoer even told them how to kill a pig.

"After you get through the door, chat with Yanyan if you have time. She will definitely like to hear this."

"I heard that my sister-in-law is pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. How wonderful!" Baoer said enviously.

In this day and age, people who are pregnant with twins are considered blessed, and some even travel a long way to share in the good news.

"Haha, once you get married, just keep in touch with me."

The silly kid is not good at talking, so he spoke much less today, and occasionally glanced at Baoer secretly.

Qin Dahe noticed the awkwardness and took out his cigarette. He first asked the kid's brother-in-law if he smoked.

"I want to smoke, but my mom won't let me." The little guy said guiltily.

"Okay, find a chance to smoke later." Qin Dahe turned to look at the kid, "Give your brother-in-law a pack of cigarettes."

"Oh." The silly kid honestly took out a pack of Red Nanjing cigarettes, looked around the main room like a thief, and then handed it over.

"Why is it so expensive?" Baoer frowned.

For rural people to go out and do something, a pack of Double Happiness cigarettes worth seven yuan is enough. Look at the silly kid, he still has several packs in his pocket.

The child looked at his elder brother for help. It was Qin Dahe who asked him to change the cigarettes. He used to smoke Double Happiness, and today he bought him a pack of red Nanjing cigarettes to carry when he went out.

Seeing Baoer's brother sneak out, he said, "I have money, don't worry, I won't be able to stand being poor in the future, haha."

He took out his black pine and threw one to the kid, then they both lit up their cigarettes.

The kid hasn't smoked all day today, and he's really feeling very uncomfortable now.

She couldn't continue speaking because Qin Dahe's cigarettes were more expensive.

"The kid still has some money at home, so he can make some money now," he said casually. "When you get married, you can help make bait. A few hundred yuan a day won't be a problem."

As sales channels become wider and wider, the business of 1.0 bait must be divided out.

As soon as Yanyan gave birth to the baby, she went out to work. I had to take care of two kids alone, so I didn’t have time to make bait.

Contracting the big lake has also been put on the agenda. Xu Village has agreed that the contract between the two villages will be signed in September, and Qin's father has no time to deal with this.

"Making bait?" Baoer asked hurriedly.

"It's what we use for fishing. Many customers from other places are placing orders and the demand is very high." He briefly talked about silver carp and bighead carp bait.

As for the savings and Jiuzi’s real estate, we will definitely have to wait until Baoer gets married. She hasn’t married yet, and her mentality hasn’t changed yet.
