Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 414: I look down on yachts (asking for monthly tickets)
It was already eleven o'clock when they came out of the Internet cafe. Silly kid even went to the door to eat a bowl of beef offal noodles.

After going out, the few people who were surfing the Internet were still a little reluctant to leave. The forum was really interesting.

It is much more exciting when fishermen from all over the world gather together to brag than when they brag on their own offline.

"Dahe, why don't you buy yourself a computer? It would be fun for us to chat on forums and QQ."

"Ce, I want to, too. There's no internet in the village."

"Then just get a dedicated line. Just apply for it from the telecom company and pay for it yourself." Da Liu said nonchalantly, "Based on your distance, it'll cost at most 20,000 yuan."

"Forget it, let me sell some more bait." Qin Dahe shook his head.

This is not the way to spend money. I don’t have much money. I have to go to Shenzhen to buy a house, go sea fishing, and save more money.

"I might go sea fishing in the south in the second half of the year. Xiaoyu, do you want to go?"

"I won't go. Fishing at sea is really a torture." Xiaoyu thought of his last experience at sea and curled his lips.

The more than 30-meter-long fishing boat still shakes violently when encountering wind and waves.

"I'm telling you, make sure you're not seasick before you go out to sea, or you'll suffer."

Big Liu nodded sympathetically. He was one of those who could not ride on a ship, and the same was true for Ah Fu.

People who really like fishing will think of going sea fishing whenever they have the conditions, but it is difficult for inland people to adapt to the sea without training.

Sport fishing boats are not giant cruise ships. A thousand-ton ship is already at its limit, and level three or four wind and waves are deadly enough.

It also takes a long time, and if you don’t fish for a few days when you go out to sea, it’s a waste of diesel.

"Is it okay to get my own yacht? An uncle of mine said that rich people go fishing on their yachts when the weather is calm."

Looking at Liu Cixin's appearance, he doesn't seem to be unable to afford a yacht.

"You think too highly of me." Da Liu's face turned pale when he thought of the scene where he started vomiting as soon as he got out of the dock on a big yacht.

Before he could continue, Xiao Yu continued, "You really look down on yachts."

"A comfortable fishing yacht must have stabilizers. Five million is just the starting price; the annual maintenance costs are sky-high."

Xiaoyu had also thought about this and had already found out about it.

"And the fuel consumption is terrifying. One ton of gasoline isn't enough to burn in a day."

Qin Dahe: “.”

I do seem to look down on yachts, they cost so much money.

"Besides, the weather at sea is unpredictable. One moment it's calm, and the next it's stormy. Not only can't the weather forecast, but even the Maritime Administration can't predict it."

Hearing these words, Qin Dahe just nodded without saying anything more.

If I want to go sea fishing, I can go out with a boat in the early stage. When I make a lot of money, uh, it seems that I can’t afford to buy a yacht.

It has to be a lot of money, at least worth hundreds of millions.

Still gotta make money, dammit.

But there was no better way. He was not an old investor in his previous life, and he had no idea about the current stock market trend. He even lost tens of thousands of dollars buying Moutai.

But I do remember the incident of standing guard at 6,000 points. It should be enough to do it once with my uncle when the time comes.

At this stage, I still have to focus on bait and strive to open up the silver carp and bighead carp bait market this year.

Others, including commercial baits and fruit acid corn, cannot make money. High profits are useless because the substitutability is too strong.

The group chatted and laughed, and when they got to the bathhouse they took a bath and then went to sleep comfortably.

The next day, when the sun just came out, everyone had gathered at the edge of Jinniu Lake.

The goods were delivered yesterday, so naturally my enthusiasm increased and I got up earlier and earlier.

Once on the boat, even yawning couldn't dampen the enthusiasm.

Everyone cheered up and said they would catch big fish today.

Da Liu brought a whole black pine and immediately broke it into seven bags to share with everyone.

Everyone opened their cigarettes and lit them up with a smile.

"This cigarette is really strong, thicker than Liqun." Lao Xu said with a smile.

"Haha, Liqun is also good to smoke, but it's not easy to give cigarettes to people in some situations."

Cigarettes that cost over 20 yuan are at least of some quality. Although Liqun tastes good, it is more like a staple cigarette.

Of course, it was indeed ration cigarettes, and Qin Dahe himself had smoked them for six or seven years.

Later, the shortage and price increase forced him to buy the Black Pine at 21 yuan. He had to ask the boss for face to buy a pack of Liqun at 17 yuan, but the Black Pine at 21 yuan cost 205 yuan, and the boss immediately smiled and offered to give him a lighter. The treatment was different.

A pack of cigarettes only costs thirty-five yuan more, it's better to smoke Hei Song.

When I got to the den, I carefully filled the nest as usual. When I saw the smell of fish, my mood immediately cheered up. It was another day of harvest.

"Today we're competing to see which island catches the most fish. The losing island gets to treat us tonight."

"Okay, what's for dinner?"

"Let's eat Huaiyang cuisine. I haven't eaten it for a long time." Qin Dahe said with a smile.

As the ancient capital of six dynasties, Jinling has a wide variety of cuisines, and Huaiyang cuisine is one of the local specialties.

Anhui cuisine is a little bit low-class for business banquets and is not as prestigious as Huaiyang cuisine and official cuisine. He hasn't eaten Huaiyang cuisine since he returned to his hometown.

"Okay, let's go to Nanjing University in the evening. I know a restaurant with delicious food." Lao Xu nodded with a smile.

We all got together. Although there were some unexpected things during yesterday's fishing trip, we all had similar interests and were very happy to get along with each other.

Fishing is a lively activity, eating and drinking are a joy, and it is easiest to build friendships with fishermen.

This kind of friendship makes people smile when they think about it even after a long time.

Once everyone got to the island, they immediately started to get busy.

The slippery road is a big undertaking. It's already seven o'clock, and even if we are ready, we can't start fishing until half past seven.

Today I completely abandoned all other baits and relied solely on the grasshoppers handed to me by my grandfather.

Fifty dollars a day, this unexpected income, grandpa naturally wouldn't refuse.

The cost includes meals and snails as bait, and is shared by eight people.

If we don't count their food, drinks, and bathhouse at night, their daily expenses are not high. Including the fuel used in the car, the average cost per person is only about 70 or 80 yuan.

The income from fishing for herring is more than enough. Yesterday, each person made 500 yuan.

Cast the rod into the water, and then it’s time to wait quietly.

I left the glass rod and pure gold method behind and focused on making big goods.

Fishing officially starts at 7:30.

At eight o'clock, Hu San caught his first black carp, weighing fourteen pounds.

At half past ten, Xiaoyu caught the second fish, weighing more than thirty kilograms, and then there were no more.

The Qin Dahe and his brother's buttocks were sore from sitting for the whole morning, and the float didn't move at all.

"What the hell is this?" He cursed and grabbed the mineral water and took a big gulp.

I didn’t catch much yesterday, so why is there nothing today?
"Brother, there will definitely be fish this afternoon." Silly Kid said softly. He was fine, he could keep his composure. "How about you go fishing for the small fish first?"

"Forget it, I didn't even bring my fishing rod." He waved his hand and started calling the other end again.

I was even more depressed when I learned that the other side had caught four black carps and one carp.

The sun is shining brightly on my head, which is so annoying.

Xiao Yu came over happily to smoke some cigarettes. He had bought a fish weighing over 30 kilograms, which was enough for him today.

"Why haven't you delivered the meal yet?" Qin Dahe complained as he took the cigarette.

If there are no fish, wild ducks will be hit by a stone every time they pass by.

"It's coming soon." The child squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. He could vaguely see the outline of the ship.

He lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and started changing bait again.

Eating does not interfere with fishing. The fresher the grasshoppers, the better. We will take turns eating later, so someone has to stay to watch the float.

The lunch was roasted pork slices with chestnuts and stir-fried vegetables.

Fishermen don't care about food and drink when they are fishing, and no one thinks they are worth it. They just eat heartily.

Qin Dahe started eating first. The meat slices were a little tough, and he ate too many chestnuts, so much so that his neck was choked and stretched two miles.

I quickly took two big gulps of water before I felt better.

I glanced at the scorching sun and it was really hot. If I didn't catch any fish in the afternoon, I would be embarrassed in the evening and wouldn't be able to post on the forum.

The silly kid still stared at the float patiently, just in case something happened.

Sure enough, he saw a black float and immediately grabbed the fishing rod.
