Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 369 It’s Snowing

The brother and sister went back in the afternoon. Li Weiwei was ultimately unable to convince Qin Dahe.

The main reason is lack of experience. Ordinary investors may think that the plan sounds good.

Information flow is not smooth nowadays, and many people accept insider stock speculation.

But, there is no free lunch in the world.

Tens of thousands of dollars for a piece of inside information? That's bullshit.

Maybe they are raising pigs, and after they are fattened, they will be brought to their own farm to be slaughtered.

Qin Dahe doesn't know how to trade stocks, but he knows the market makers of the A-share market. They are so ruthless that they even dare to sell the company to you.

With a capital of 1 billion, as you keep buying, you will find that even after you have bought 1.2 billion, there are still people placing orders.

I called my uncle directly in the afternoon and asked him if he would come back this year. If he did, I would ask him about his plans for next year.

"Come back at the end of the month and take the old man to Hefei."

"It's only a dozen days." It's December 17th now, and I guess they're ready to go home.

"Well, I'm handing over my work these days. I will resign after I get my year-end bonus." My uncle briefly explained his own situation.

Now that the investment company is on the right track, it must have someone to manage it, and he doesn't want to continue to be involved in internal competition.

As this year's order target was exceeded, the boss of the marketing department started to put pressure on him again, and he really couldn't bear it anymore.

The better the sales performance, the greater the pressure. He also has to deal with the investment company's affairs. He is afraid of sudden death, but he is not short of money anyway.

Moreover, the company still had some spare funds that could not be invested. After taking office, he planned to carry out some medium- and short-term fund management, that is, stock trading.

"Do you want me and Mom to go to Grandpa's place and help him pack up?"

"No need. I'll come back in person and throw away what needs to be thrown away."

He must know the old man and his wife's habits. If they don't come to help clean up in person, they will probably call a truck to help move.

"So you're going to celebrate the New Year in Hefei this year?"

"Well, but Xiao Linzi and the others are not going home this year, so I have to go back after I move."

It’s too troublesome to have the whole family come back every year. It would be enough to come back every two years.

It will be better when the old man is taken to Hefei and is taken care of by my younger brothers.

He felt bad that his elder sister always had to take care of him. His younger brother didn't even come back for his nephew's wedding.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Dahe didn't mention the investment.

I'll ask my uncle when he comes back. If we talk on the phone, we won't be able to discuss anything without a few hundred dollars.

He found his mother and told her that his uncle would be coming home in a few days.

"I see. I'll go there too when the time comes." The mother frowned. "We have to go to Hefei to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival."

"It's okay, it only takes three hours to drive there." Everything is convenient with a car.

"Okay, but your dad needs to get his driver's license. He's been thinking about this all day. You and your son can take turns driving when you're on a long drive."

Qin Dahe nodded, it was indeed time for his father to learn how to drive.

It’s not busy in winter now, so you can just go and pick the cotton yourself.

When Qin's father came home for dinner in the evening, he told him about taking the driver's license test.

"Then I'll ride my scooter to the city tomorrow?" It's so cold, I'll probably be frozen to death if I go there.

"Well, why don't you drive a tricycle to the county to study and save some money." Installing a heater on the tricycle will keep it from being too cold in winter.

"I asked someone at the driving school in the county, and they said it would cost at least fifteen hundred yuan to pass." The old man curled his lips and directly stated the price. It was outrageous.

"Fifteen hundred is fifteen hundred, I'll pay it for you." Qin Dahe said indifferently.

"Then I'll go tomorrow. You can use a big boat to collect the cotton." It's really cold to collect cotton on a boat. The wind from the outer river can be fatal.

"How much credit do we have left this week?"

"About four thousand pounds, and we still have three days to go, just collect them casually."

After chatting for a while, Qin Dahe went back to be with his wife and children.

Qin's father carried a teapot and went to Limin Supermarket, showing off that he was going to learn how to drive the next day.

He was very excited at the thought that he would be able to drive soon. In this day and age, being able to drive is considered superior.

It was a rare occasion that the two babies in the room fell asleep at the same time. Yanyan squinted her eyes and prepared to catch up on her sleep. She had to change their diapers and feed them at least twice at night.

"Brother, do you want to sleep?" she said in a daze.

"Wait a minute, read a book." How can I sleep now? It's only seven o'clock.

Holding a guide to herring farming, he found a comfortable position leaning against the other side, gently pecked the two cubs on the face, and started reading.

The book in his hand was a relatively backward one, focusing on natural breeding. It was a thin volume that he had specially looked for.

The book mainly analyzes the feeding habits and habits of black carp.

I was a little surprised when I saw the growth rate page. Very few black carp can grow to 50 kilograms in five years. This is amazing.

However, as mentioned below, the number is generally small and the water depth must be sufficient. Large fish do not have enough water pressure and have a low desire to eat.

If a black carp has enough food, it is common to raise it to 20 kilograms in five years. It is similar to what Wuye said. Wuye feeds pellet feed in the early stage and raises it naturally in the middle and late stages. When the pond is cleaned, the average weight is about 18 or 19 kilograms.

The fish pond over there is also a hundred acres in size, but the water depth is a little less, only two meters.

The average water depth of the lake contracted by the Qin family is four meters, which is enough to raise big fish.

Even at the edge, the depth is one or two meters.

Such a deep lake is a good thing for the surrounding farmers. At least during droughts, they have a stable source of water.

Sanye will definitely not make much money from contracting. The water pumping cost of Dahu this year is 20,000. The cost is too high.
But Qin Dahe planned to engage in natural breeding, so it didn't matter if the water was deep. He was becoming more and more satisfied with the conditions of the lake.

Once the fish in the lake are well-raised, we can get some underwater cameras in fixed positions, which will make it very convenient to experiment with bait and nest materials.

The experiment was successful. Whether I sold it for money or went fishing myself, it was very satisfying.

As he watched, his eyes narrowed and he gradually fell asleep.

When I got up in the morning, the outside of the house was suddenly covered in white.

Because there is air conditioning in the room, the two babies' faces are rosy while they sleep, which is very pleasing to the eye.

"No wonder there was a rustling sound outside when I was feeding the baby last night." Yanyan looked outside the house excitedly.

It’s snowing, heavy snow like goose feathers, so beautiful.

Snowflakes from the sky kept falling, swaying and landing in the palm of my hand, and soon melted into water.

"It's cold this year and the snow won't melt. Hehe, it's just right that we don't have to go to harvest cotton." The flower-making factory will also stop working on heavy snowy days.

"Brother, let's go build a snowman." Children in the south are always obsessed with snowmen because they may only build one once every three or four years.

"Don't worry, wait a while."

The yard is made of cement and the snow is still clean. It will be fun to pile up snow when it gets thicker.

I don’t know if Silly Kid has cast his net yet. The edge of the lake is probably frozen in this weather.

His small pond was not frozen, and the water was flowing now.

As they were talking, Wa'er and his wife came in carrying things, and Bao'er had a headscarf on her head.

"You've got a net today." Qin Dahe really admired this simple-minded brother. The thing in his hand was obviously a catch.
"Brother." The kid handed him a cigarette as soon as he got out of the car.

"Brother, our car can't go out on the street. I guess it will be like this for the next few days, so I thought of dividing the goods between you and the master." Baoer said with a smile, "I have to send some to the master later."

It's snowing heavily, and no one has organized the spreading of industrial salt on the county road. I wonder how long it will take before the road can be opened.

Not to mention a three-wheeled motorcycle, Qin Dahe didn't even dare to drive his own off-road vehicle.

"Haha, come inside and warm up first. I'll throw the fish into the fish basket. I'll go and ask Grandpa to come over at noon so we can have lunch together."

It’s snowing heavily and there’s nothing to do, so let’s just have some fun together.

At this time, the old couple also came over. They couldn’t go out today and could only come to the back to play with their grandson.

"Mom, make some more food for lunch. I'll call Grandpa over to have dinner with us, along with Baoer and the others."

"Okay, I got it. We just happen to have these fish." Mother Qin smiled and pulled Baoer into the house to enjoy the air conditioning.

This girl is really good. After Silly Boy marries her, the family will finally have someone who can show off their hospitality.

With that, Qin Dahe put on his rubber shoes and set off with the kid. The kid could also learn carving for half a day.

The snow on the village road was not pure white, but dirty and covered with weeds, unlike the snow in the Qin family's yard.

Snow in the south is generally like this, thin and soft, and it is not pleasant to walk on it.

It's okay when it snows, but if it rains, you will grow taller after walking for a while, and each foot will be covered with at least three pounds of mud.

One step was deep, the other shallow, as I walked on the crunchy snow, with mud puddles here and there.

Many children on the road couldn't wait to start making snowmen. They are the ones who love snowy days the most, and they are full of innocence and romance.

I finally arrived at my grandfather's house and told him about lunch.

"Dahe, the grain transport market opens the day after tomorrow. Are we still selling these things?" Farmers have the strongest desire to consume before the New Year. When spring comes, they have to start calculating the expenses for the year, so they are naturally reluctant to spend money.

"No, there are still more than fifty days until the Chinese New Year. I can at least catch two or three markets, and I'm sure I'll be able to sell it."

"We're all good stuff, so we won't have trouble selling them. If they don't work out, we can just sell them next year. It's too dangerous to drive right now."

The road was covered with snow and the embankment was steep. If the car drifted, it would easily overturn and roll into the river.

"Okay, we don't lack money anyway."

"You don't have to prepare any food for the New Year. Let's celebrate the New Year together this year and just stay at home for the three New Year holidays." Qin Dahe suggested.

The three-year New Year period lasts from the Chinese New Year to the third day of the New Year, and it is over after the third day of the New Year.

"Will that work?" The mother-in-law looked at her husband hesitantly.

"It's okay to have New Year's Eve dinner with you, but forget about staying here. I'll go there when I'm old." The more the father-in-law looked at his son-in-law, the more satisfied he became.

Taking all aspects into consideration, the old couple felt that it was worthwhile to marry the girl off.

"I'm going back now. Come to eat at noon. Silly boy brought you a lot of good fish."

"I understand. The baby and I will make the ornaments. Let Yan'er's mother go and help first." With that, the grandfather took the baby back to the carpenter's workshop to work.
