Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 403 Liu Da's Team

Except for not selling earthworms, the other goods are very comprehensive. The only drawback is that they are expensive.

There are many fishing rods that cost thousands of yuan, as well as lure rods that cost several thousand or tens of thousands of yuan, imported composite sea rods, spinning reels and various equipment. You can ask Liu Da to help you choose a set later.

The reason for not selling earthworms is that they are too dirty. He doesn't want to handle them, and the waiters in the store don't want to handle them either.

This waiter was recruited from his father's company and his working relationship is still there.

"Okay, come with me to move the goods. This time I'll save you a thousand or two thousand dollars in shipping costs."

"Haha, let's go and get to work."

A thousand kilograms of bait was dragged back and forth on a trailer several times, and bottles and jars of small medicines were directly put on the shelves.

Although the two did not contact each other frequently, as they were both fishermen, they were not at all shy. Qin Dahe even helped to display the goods.

While I was working, someone came to buy wholesale fishing gear.

"Awu, I just got some new stock." Da Liu greeted the customer and said, "Let me introduce you to Qin Dahe, the general manager of Dahe Fishing Tackle."

"Hello, I've heard a lot about you. I've seen you on forums and in magazines." Awu politely extended his right hand.

He is in his thirties, with dark skin, which you can tell is from fishing. Fishermen never have white skin except in winter.

"Hello."

The two men shook hands, and Liu Da began to allocate goods to the other party according to the order.

Qin Dahe asked curiously, and found out that the other party was from a fishing tackle store in the suburbs, and came here specifically to pick up the goods.

"Da Liu's store is doing great. Sometimes we couldn't find a channel to purchase goods. Now everyone knows that there is a dry fishing tackle wholesaler in Xuhui." A Wu said with a smile.

"There's only one big fishing tackle store like this in the entire inner ring, and it's very conspicuous."

Information is not flowing smoothly now, and Da Liu's fishing tackle store opened at the right time, allowing many new stores to quickly find wholesalers.

"Haha, the rent of this store alone is unaffordable for most people."

The goods arrived soon, including thirty bags of five-jin and two-jin bait, totaling more than two hundred kilograms of bait at once.

"So many?"

"Well, since I can't sell it, I'll use it myself. I can make my money back just by fishing for silver carp and bighead carp." Awu said indifferently.

Not only can you make back your investment, the fish prices in Shanghai are higher, so basically everyone who fishes for silver carp and bighead carp can make money.

"Having resources means you have the power to speak with authority."

The other party chuckled when he heard this and started to settle accounts with Liu Da.

Not only silver carp and bighead carp bait, but also other baits including floats and fishing rods were bought in large quantities, and each purchase cost about six or seven thousand yuan.

The other party came in a van, and Liu Da helped to move the goods. Sweat was dripping down his body, but he simply wiped it off and continued working, without any image of a noble gentleman.

A black Mercedes was parked far away, and the middle-aged man in the car looked at his son in a state of confusion, feeling both amused and helpless.

"You little Hong Kong kid, are you motivated?"

"Young Master has really changed a lot since he started fishing." The driver in the front seat said with a smile.

I used to just eat, drink and have fun, but now after fishing, my spirit is different.

"Forget it, let him be. It won't cost much to open a store." The middle-aged man shook his head. "Transfer him another million. It's going to cost money to set up a team."

As long as you don't think about starting a company to make a lot of money, he will fully support you. How much does a fishing tackle shop and fishing cost?
"Okay, sir."

Soon, the black Mercedes disappeared in the traffic.

Qin Dahe had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he accompanied Da Liu in sorting the goods in the fishing tackle shop. The dried crab seedlings would not die if left alone, and they were all in the hotel, and Wu Ye was watching them.

At three o'clock, two more people came. Liu Da specially called them over. They were the team he was planning to form.

"Dahe, let me introduce you, this is Xiaosong." A dark and thin young man, wearing a long-sleeved shirt. Although there is no brand, you can tell at a glance that it is worth a lot of money.

"This is Ah Fu. He's very strong. He can lift a huge fistful of 7.2 meters with one hand. He's just like a kid."

Qin Dahe stepped forward and shook hands, and everyone sat down together.

Ah Fu is of the same build as Han Wa, and even stronger than Han Wa. This physique is perfect for working on a construction site.

"You're forming a team so early? Are you going to participate in the competition right away?"

"Yes, we'll start participating in the competition in April, but the first one will be held locally," Da Liu said confidently. "There's a fish pond over there, so you'll have to give us your full support."

"Fresh pond?" Qin Dahe became interested.

"Is there an oxygen pump in the pond?"

"Yes, they are usually fed with feed, which mainly consists of black carp, grass carp, silver carp and bighead carp." For local competitions, he must do a good job of intelligence work.

The four major carps have been raised for thousands of years and have always been a favorite of fish farmers. "That's a high-density fish pond, it's really fun to fish in this kind of pond."

"Which fish species are you going to focus on, or will you consider both?"

"We're still discussing it." Liu replied with a smile.

Ah Fu and Xiao Song, who were standing nearby, knew that Qin Dahe was good at fishing, so they humbly asked him what kind of fish he should catch.

"If there are a lot of silver carp and bighead carp, you can just fish for them directly, but you need to add some flavor." The fish pond is not a natural watershed, so there is no need to worry about dead spots caused by strong smells.

Both black carp and grass carp are difficult to catch, but once silver carp and bighead carp start to bite, it's like fishing for whitebait, they will bite as soon as you put them in.

"Without affecting the state of the bait, add more garlic powder and strawberry powder, and try to use stinky vegetable water when preparing the bait."

"Whether you're fishing for black carp, grass carp, silver carp, or bighead carp, you always use a heavy bait in the fish pond."

In most fishing competitions, luck is the first test, followed by bait and bait, and finally technique.

Of course, matching baits is also a kind of technique. In later generations, when the bait system is very mature, it all depends on luck.

It’s useless to fish with an 8.1-meter rod with one hand. No matter how good your technique is, what can you do if the fish don’t come to you?
Therefore, we often see some famous fishing masters catching several kilograms or several ounces of fish in competitions, and it is possible that they may even catch nothing.

Liu Da and his friends also made their own plan. This time they competed in groups, with two people fishing for silver carp and bighead carp, and one person fishing at the bottom.

After all, once the silver carp and bighead carp nests are formed, no matter what kind of fish there are, they will all come to take a look.

"I'll make some bait for you when you get home. You can try it out yourself first. Can you try fishing in that competition pond?"

"Sure, I can try fishing for a day."

"That's good. You can add more carp medicine. This medicine is not only effective for catching carp, but also for other fish."

The carp medicine is a Chinese medicinal wine he developed. The musk and cloves in it can catch many fish and are very effective in black pits.

His commercial baits contained eugenol, which is essential for making clove essence and is also a carcinogen. It is prohibited from being added to any bait in later generations.

But Qin Dahe didn't understand. It doesn't mean you will get cancer if you eat it, and it's for fish. It's really nosy.

Many anglers add some eugenol to their homemade baits. Eugenol is useful in natural watersheds.

These things were all bought from manufacturers on Alibaba. Online shopping is really convenient. Even with the current crude trading model, it is very nice not to have to look for sources of goods everywhere.

In the afternoon, two more fishing tackle store owners came to pick up goods, wholesale a total of 200 kilograms of bait.

Awu is a fisherman himself, so he wholesales more. Other bosses would not wholesale 200 kilograms of bait at one time. The current fishing gear market is not big.

"Are you sure this 400 kilograms is enough?" kilograms were lost that day.

"The weather was cold when we opened the store last year. This year, the temperature has only risen for 20 days, and I haven't figured out the situation yet." Da Liu said with a pained look. If he had known earlier, he would have asked Qin Dahe to bring an extra 1,000 kilograms.

Shanghai not only has a well-developed water system, but also a large consumer market. The owners of those fishing tackle stores sold it twice, and after receiving good feedback from anglers, they immediately increased their purchases.

The goods just arrived today. He just gave a notice and many people called to place orders.

"When you get back, give me another thousand pounds, and help me make some bait for the competition."

"Okay, I'll give you some medicinal wine base." He nodded with a smile.

It is also a medicinal wine, but the effect will definitely be better if it has some residue. He did not sell any of it, but used it himself or supplied it to the fishermen in the town.

The fishermen in this town supported him when the bait was the most expensive, and they will be given priority in supplying good things in the future.

Liu Cixin is going to participate in a competition, so he must be given a few bottles. And so are his friends like Boss Xu, all of them have one.

The cost of making medicinal wine is quite high. A jar of medicinal wine with musk costs at least 1,300 yuan and can be filled into 800 small bottles.

The cost is high, so the profit is definitely greater. The cost of a bottle including packaging is only about two yuan, and I can make six yuan for every bottle sold.

However, it is difficult to promote small medicines. Apart from novices who are curious about them, veterans have their own ways of matching baits, and even secret baits made by themselves.

For example, in Hubei, he spent money to buy some secret baits for the anglers in the town to use, and everyone said that the feedback was good.

When the business grows bigger, you have to buy other people's formulas and then break down the active ingredients in them.

There may be only one effective ingredient in the secret bait. Only by summarizing this effective ingredient can we continuously make new baits.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Da started taking him out.

"Sister Li, please keep an eye on it for me. I'm going out for a while."

"I understand, Mr. Liu." The girl at the bar said in a delicate voice, and bowed slightly.

Qin Dahe was a little speechless. It was so cool that he could find a pretty girl to look after a shabby fishing tackle shop. What a strategy.

The two of them wanted to go out and buy some sea fishing equipment, but Big Liu Ming said that he himself didn't dare to go sea fishing, and the goods in the store were just sold incidentally, so he still had to find a professional.
