Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 378 The Charm of Sea Fishing (asking for monthly tickets)
After dinner, the three of them lit cigarettes and went to the convenience store to sit and brag.

The main reason is that my uncle is doing well, so Qin's father brought him there to show off.

This brother-in-law has been going with him to Tongjiang Avenue to get food coupons since he was in high school. Now that he has made a living, he is also proud.

Mr. Huang and his friends were also very familiar with my uncle, and they quickly started chatting enthusiastically after taking the cigarettes.

Qin Dahe went straight to Waer's house. Waer seemed to be busy with a new type of fishing net recently, so he went to take a look.

When he arrived at the door, the yard was dark, but there was a light in the house. He shouted and someone came to open the door soon.

"Brother." Silly boy quickly welcomed him in.

"I came to see the new net you made."

The two walked in and saw a lot of things piled up in the yard, all kinds of nets.

When he arrived at the main room, Baoer was threading a net with a shuttle. He greeted him immediately when he saw him.

There are some steel wires scattered around, probably materials for making nets.

"This is the new shrimp net." The kid handed over the thing in his hand as if he was presenting a treasure.

Qin Dahe knew at first glance that it was a shrimp cage, specially used to catch river shrimps, the mesh was too fine.

Like an umbrella, it opens with your hand and has six mesh holes around it.

"Brother, this is something that Silly Kid learned from the canal transport. It's very convenient to carry." Baoer picked up a shrimp cage and demonstrated it.

When folded up, it's just a stick. It's not a problem to carry twenty at a time. Just spread it out and throw it into the river.

However, the Yuxi River is a big stream, and the lead weight needs to be hung below, which is quite heavy.

"Yes, river shrimp are more than 40 yuan now, right?"

"Forty-seven, the price has increased." The child said happily.

He now sets up his shrimp nets every three days, alternating between two areas, and earns at least two hundred yuan each time.

The temperature has risen a bit in the past two days, but it's still below zero at night. It's hard work, but the money is well earned.

No one steals the nets in winter, so you can get some shrimp cages and give them to your brother and master.

"Haha, that's awesome." The silly kid is completely on the right track.

Carpentry skills are also improving rapidly, so there will be no problem making a living in the future.

The fishing nets can't be used for long. The price increase of aquatic products has only happened in the past few years. By the time everyone has put down their nets, the Yuxi River will be empty. It is not a long-term solution.

Turning to look at Baoer, "Is Silly Boy treating you well?"

She nodded a little embarrassedly. Her man must be a good person, but she was just embarrassed to say that.

The silly kid can make money and is very hardworking. His life is so wonderful.

"We have to get pregnant quickly. It's been so long since we've had any news."

The couple blushed all of a sudden. Why did the elder brother say this when he came to visit?
"Grandma's greatest wish is that you can carry on the family line, so don't waste time." With that, he waved his hand and went out.

I just came here to take a look and see how my brothers are doing.

The new type of shrimp net is quite good, and the key is that it is easy to carry. He is thinking of making a batch later.

In the future, when I raise shrimp in Dahu Lake myself, even if I don’t put in shrimp fry, there will be no shortage of natural shrimp every year.

For example, crucian carp, river shrimp, onion, catfish, bream and mullet, etc. These fish do not need to be released into the water. A large lake of hundreds of acres will reproduce a lot by itself, and may even squeeze the living space of large fish.

When the time comes, he will cast the net to catch these fish and sell them, but he will not touch the main species such as black carp, grass carp, silver carp and bighead carp.

These groceries are also the main products sold by Wu Ye from March to August. After August, he will start catching big fish and crabs in the second half of the year.

In the second half of the year, there are many salted and cured fish, and the big fish are easy to sell. Crabs also need to be stored and sold out in winter.

As long as the pond is not cleared, the lake will continue to make money.

There will be fewer fish in the first year, but in the second year you can start catching fish and selling them, and all kinds of fishing nets will also need to be arranged.

After Qin Dahe left, Baoer still wanted to continue making websites.

The boy went to the kitchen and poured himself a cup of medicinal wine and took a sip. This was a jar of medicinal wine given to him by his eldest brother.

"Wife." He smiled innocently and walked forward to hug his wife.

You must listen to what your elder brother says.

"Don't be anxious." Baoer's heart trembled when he smelled the smell of alcohol.

This man is in good health and he drinks medicinal wine before doing it. He will be tossed around for half the night.

It's beautiful, but I can't get out of bed after half a day.

At night, upstairs in the attic.

The wind was much weaker and the moon was quite bright, shining from the balcony into the house.

The two of them sat on the windowsill, with some dried fruits and a plate of braised beef on the charcoal stove.

The rice wine was warmed up and placed on the ground. The room was still a little stuffy because of the air conditioning, so the window was opened a little.

The father and son sat there drinking and chatting, and the cool wind blew through the gaps onto their bodies, which was quite comfortable.

"Uncle, are you going to invest in stocks soon?"

"Hmm." He took a sip of the rice wine, which was fragrant. "It's mainly for short- and medium-term investments."

"Hao123 will be sold soon. The company has a lot of money in its account, so it will definitely be spent."

"Just sold it like that?" He also paid attention to the search website when he went online.

At present, not many people use Baidu, and hao123 has a high market share.

"There's nothing we can do. If we want to compete in publicity and promotion, the founding team is just a makeshift group and can't handle the work." My uncle said with a wry smile.

Their investment company doesn't have enough connections and it's just a makeshift team. Baidu is far ahead of them in terms of technology and team.

"How much does it cost?" he asked curiously.

"There are two options now. One is pure cash, which will be a little lower, about 60 million." They hold a 35% stake in the investment company and can get about 20 million.

I invested 20 points of shares at the beginning, and then gradually increased it to 35 points of shares.

"Another option is a Baidu stock plus cash swap. Let's see how Ah Qing negotiates it."

Qin Dahe stroked his chin. "Baidu's shares are better than cash. Search is definitely a promising area." "The valuation they gave is too high. It's not worth it. The best outcome we've negotiated is to sell it for cash and invest the money in other companies' stocks."

"That's fine." My uncle can also be very successful in the stock market, and he doesn't necessarily have to ride on Baidu's car.

In two years, the three major Internet companies (Baidu, Tencent, and Alibaba) will gain momentum, and it will not be a good idea for ordinary people to hold original shares, as it will easily get them into trouble.

The capital market is sometimes even more dangerous. You make all the money, but what do others earn?

Their investment company has some connections in Shenzhen, so they can barely get the shares of QQ, and they will probably have to sell them in the future.

"Why? You want to invest in the stock market too?"

"I have invested a long time ago and bought a lot of Moutai. This stock has potential." He said confidently.

"Indeed, I got the news that some social security funds have already been flowing in." My uncle nodded in agreement.

The flow of social security funds has never been the target of stock speculators. Their entry into the market only means that a stock is relatively stable and profits and dividends are guaranteed.

But stock prices have never had anything to do with these two. They are all about emotions and value.

"If you're going to trade short-term next year, could you please share some information with me so I can make some money?"

"Just put your money with me." My uncle frowned and said, "It's not that I don't trust you, but you trade stocks on your own. The flow of funds is transparent to the securities company. If I make a big move, I'll easily be targeted."

Once the deal is settled with Aqing, the company will have at least 10 or 20 million in its account. With a leverage of two or three times, it will be qualified enough to compete with the market makers in small-cap stocks.

If I reveal the news to my nephew and he makes money a few times, the securities company will label him and it will be easy to trace his investment trajectory.

He is an old stock investor, and Mr. Wang has also given him guidance, so he is familiar with the inside story of these industries.

"Okay, I'll transfer the money to you then."

Qin Dahe was a little upset. He had originally wanted to ask his uncle to help him make some money.

He is not a professional stock trader. The short- and medium-term fluctuations are huge. He doesn't remember most of his past life and only knows a few hot stocks.

The key is that my memory of these monster stocks is rather vague, and I can’t be sure of the exact day.

Of course, everyone is aware of the 07-point peak in .

At that time, he was still working for someone else, and his boss kept talking about "bottoming out and rebounding" every day. In the end, he fell all the way.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go alone."

"Haha, let's go."

The father and son raised their glasses, and after taking a sip of rice wine, they immediately felt much better.

"Tell me about sea fishing?"

Investing to make money is not as interesting as fishing.

"I don't know the details. I've never fished there before." My uncle said with a helpless smile.

He is not a fisherman, he is interested in the stock market and emerging start-ups.

"The boat captain that Ah Qing often goes with charges 8,000 yuan per trip. Including bait and other things, it's probably over 10,000 yuan."

"Then one trip lasts seven days, and I think it's to the continental shelf."

"The bait is so expensive?"

"They use live shrimps and small squids, which cost tens or even hundreds of pounds per kilogram from the sea. They have to be fresh, and he usually doesn't even want to eat them."

"Ce, if you don't catch any fish, you will lose money." The most expensive freshwater fish is the Qingming River knife, and one net only costs about ten thousand yuan.

Is sea fishing so exciting?

He felt a little itchy and wanted to give it a try, but freshwater fishing was not that attractive.

"Yeah, sometimes I only make a few thousand dollars in one trip, which is definitely a loss."

After finishing the walnuts, we started roasting red dates and chestnuts, which were Yanyan’s stock.

I finally got to eat as much as I wanted recently, so I bought some immediately.

"Ah Qing's family is from Liuzhou. When you get to Shenzhen, I'll introduce him to you. Maybe we can even go on a sea trip together."

"Haha, that's great." Qin Dahe was delighted when he heard that.

Since sea fishing is so expensive, it would be nice to have someone take you on a trip.

His requirements are not high. Two trips out to sea every year are enough. If he wants to sell bait, he still has to focus on freshwater fishing.

As we were talking, my uncle's phone rang.

This is a call from Ah Qing. I have been in contact with people from Baidu for a whole day today and we have finally reached a general agreement.

It's a cash plus share acquisition, but these shareholders will just take the cash and leave. Baidu doesn't need so many shareholders getting in the way.

There is still a lot of work to be done, and the entire acquisition process will last for about a month.

"It's just right. My nephew has an idea about sea fishing. You two can talk about it." After drinking, the uncle didn't care about the phone bill anymore.

"Uncle Qing." Qin Dahe greeted politely.

"Haha, I've heard about you from my eldest brother a long time ago. If you come to Shenzhen, I'll treat you and definitely take you on a couple of good fishing trips."

"I mainly fish in freshwater now. I haven't tried sea fishing yet. Uncle Qing, can you tell me about it?"

"Sea fishing is fun. There are fish farms and drilling rigs in the near sea, and offshore you can go to the continental shelf and the shoal to catch tuna."

Ah Qing on the phone was very talkative and talked a lot about sea fishing.

Qin Dahe's eyes lit up when he heard this. A wild giant grouper weighing dozens or hundreds of kilograms, such as the blue and gold grouper, could be worth tens or even hundreds of thousands of yuan each.

There have even been news reports of fish auctions worth millions, and there are news reports every year about compatriots from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan scrambling to buy them.

This is much more fun than freshwater fishing, but it costs money.

"A good set of equipment costs around 5,000 yuan. The boat owner equipped himself with the best electric winch, otherwise the equipment alone would have cost tens of thousands."

"Tell me what you want to buy, and I'll take note. I'll buy it when I go to Shanghai after the New Year."

Whether you fish or not, prepare it first.

After the New Year, I will go to Chongming Island to buy crab seedlings and ask Liu Da to help me. I believe there are people who like sea fishing there too.
