Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 449 Bait Market Explodes
At noon, the Qin family was bustling again.

Qin Dahe specially toasted his second uncle with two more glasses of wine, as his second aunt worked very hard at home.

Since Qin's father was not around, he would be the host and would definitely make sure everyone drank well.

My second uncle just came back from the city. Now the price of lobsters has risen, so even if it rains heavily, he has to collect the lobsters and send them to the city.

The two little guys were sitting in the children's dining chairs and were very well-behaved, but they kept thinking about eating meat, which gave Yanyan a headache.

It's too small. Apart from the minced meat soup with the pork kidneys I buy occasionally, it can't eat anything else.

As the wine started to flow, everyone started talking about Brother Feng's job search.

"Or you can drive a taxi. The license plate in Jiuzi doesn't seem to be expensive now." He said with a smile.

Nowadays, taxi licenses are more expensive, and the cost of the car has become secondary.

"Taxi?" Brother Feng's mind moved. It turned out that he could drive and repair cars, which was just the right profession for him.

"Yeah, this can make a lot of money, and it's more stable than my dad driving a black car."

Driving an illegal car is not suitable for ordinary families, as it always involves risks.

If there is a joint law enforcement operation someday, a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan will be involved. Even if you want to get it out, it will cost a lot and you will have to pay a fine of tens of thousands of yuan.

"That's fine. We still have some savings at home. It would be nice to help Afeng find a stable job." The second uncle knew that his nephew was reliable, so he asked quickly.

"I'm going to call and ask now. It just so happens that a friend of mine has a license at home." He was referring to a boss in the antique street who also had a taxi running at home.

I've sold fish stones to you a few times, so we're kind of acquaintances, so it's okay to ask you some small questions.

After the call, the other party didn't hide anything and said directly that the current price of a taxi including the car and the photo is about 270,000 yuan.

If you can't afford it, you can work as a night shift driver. It's hard work, and you just need to pay a share of the money to the car owner every day.

He also specifically stated that his family is recruiting night shift drivers. As long as you can endure it, it will not be a problem to earn more than 100 yuan a day.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Dahe explained the situation.

Brother Feng shook his head and had no interest in night shift drivers.

He knew how hard driving was when he drove a minibus with others before, and he also knew about the night shift taxi. Even if he was not feeling well and could not drive, he still had to pay the membership fee.

It's purely a way to make money. Although it's a lot, it's not enough for him to go. He can earn a lot by driving a minibus himself.

"I'd better find a way to buy a taxi." He turned to look at his mother, "Mom, I still have 140,000 yuan. Can my family give me some more?"

While talking, he did not treat the Qin family as outsiders. The two families had a very good relationship, so there was no need to hide such a small matter.

"You earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year driving a minibus?" Second aunt asked in surprise and joy. Her son still had such a large sum of money, no wonder he didn't give her any retirement pay.

Nowadays, there are not many people in the village who can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year. Qin Dahe is one of them. I hope he is a criminal.

"Not only that, my comrade-in-arms had an accident and the car was used to drive over." He hadn't had time to tell his family about this, and Qin Dahe only mentioned it when he was at the door that morning.

"Don't ask me. How much can my family afford? If it's not enough, I'll borrow some from my comrades."

"There are still about 100,000 yuan at home, which is a little bit not enough." Second aunt frowned.

She knew her son was a reliable person and would not spend money recklessly, but what should she do if he had no money?

I made more than 30,000 yuan from collecting crayfish last year. I only started this year. If I work hard every day, I can still make 300 yuan.

"Second aunt, if you really don't need tens of thousands of dollars, I'll take it. Brother Feng is very down-to-earth in his work." He drank some wine and said it before he could think it through.

But he didn't regret it after saying that. Not only was his relationship with his second uncle's family close, but Brother Feng was more reliable than him and could still help.

I took a look at the dishes on the table, picked up a meatball and took a bite, and I was really tired of the braised duck on the side.

Fortunately, we have bighead carp today, so we don’t neglect our customers.

Mother Qin glanced at her daughter-in-law, Yanyan nodded, and then said with a smile, "Yes, I have watched Afeng grow up since he was a child. If you have any difficulties, just speak up."

Although Yanyan is not the head of the family, she still needs her daughter-in-law's consent to borrow tens of thousands of yuan on the spot.

My second uncle's family was immediately happy when they heard this. Now that the Qin family has made their statement, they can open their mouths to start other businesses in the future.

"Thanks, Dahe. I'll go to the city in a few days. If there's a chance, I'll drive a taxi for a few years."

Afeng really wants to build a career, but he needs to get familiar with the place first. It would be great to have his cousin help him.

"Brother Dahe happens to have a house in the city. We can use it to stay there from time to time. Afeng won't have to rent a house when he goes there."

"Yeah, I haven't been there for such a long time. It's a good opportunity for Brother Feng to look at some houses there. There are a lot of houses there anyway." Qin Dahe talked about the yard in the city.

This house is not planned to be rented out or sold, and we will move in when Baoer is about to give birth.

He can definitely do it as the boss of the silly kid. It's just right that Brother Feng can go over and keep an eye on the house to prevent it from being taken away by hooligans.

"That's great." When my second uncle heard that there was a house, he immediately felt relieved.

My son is no worse than Dahe. If he wants to make a name for himself, as a father I must support him.

"Dahe, is it okay over there with Hanwa?"

"Afeng, you can live here without worry, but don't tell anyone in the village about the house," he said with a smile.

It’s better for a simple kid who lives alone to keep a low profile. It’s not a good thing to show off your wealth too much.

The meal was very enjoyable for both the host and the guests. My second uncle and his son returned home contentedly, while my second aunt stayed to continue working.

The bean dregs are back, and there is still a lot to do in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Qin Dahe went to talk to Hanwaer about this matter. Although he could make the decision himself, he had to talk about it.

They also sent over two chickens. Bao'er's chickens haven't grown up yet, so they brought two of their own to nourish her. Pregnant women need to eat more. Yanyan's twins have grown to over 6 kilograms, which is all thanks to the nourishment.

He didn't go out for the next few days. He was busy with production at home and the delivery was not delayed. If there was a lot of bait, Qin's father would drive the Land Cruiser to deliver it, as the car could not carry several thousand kilograms.

The overall sales in Hubei finally increased in April. It seemed that there was a local competition, and people who used his bait took the first three places.

These contestants were not very professional to begin with, they were just there for fun, and this result immediately went viral and attracted a lot of attention.

Although there are no short videos on mobile phones now, a circle of fishing enthusiasts has been formed there, and the competitive atmosphere is very strong.

Seeing that the bait produced by Dahe Fishing Gear is so easy to use, I will naturally pay attention to it and buy it.

Qin Dahe was not a stingy person, and he immediately gave each of the three contestants 50 kilograms of special bait.

He also called to express his gratitude and explained the effectiveness of the competition version of silver carp and bighead carp bait.

At present, anglers have not yet formed a fan circle culture, so the promotion of these baits is still very necessary.

Of course, real anglers will never form fan clubs. At most, they just like the fishing style of a certain master.

Those who stir up trouble in later generations are most likely water armies. Which serious fisherman has time to care about those fan clubs? At most, they will watch videos for fun when they get nothing.

After going to Hubei, he will also contact some players who like to play competitions everywhere, and may provide some sponsorship, but he will not focus on them.

If a fishing gear business wants to expand, word of mouth is always the most important thing, which is related to men’s consumption habits.

He understands men's mentality too well. As long as a product is useful, people will continue to buy it for many years without replacing it, even if it is small items such as underwear and shampoo.

Some fishing tackle factories like to create internet celebrity anglers and attract anglers by using some gimmicks.

However, once it fails, the angler who bought it may never look at it again in his life.

That morning, the couple who had just woken up didn't want to move, and the two kids next to them started hitting them anxiously.

"Brother, go help them change their clothes and throw them into the fence." Yanyan said in a daze.

She was fed once at five o'clock and now she really doesn't want to get up.

"Wait a moment." It's only six o'clock, and it's really nice to sleep in this weather.

He casually picked up a doll and stuffed it into the quilt, then hugged it with his body.

Yanyan followed suit, and the two babies were suffocated in the quilt, crying loudly.

"Don't move, dear, let daddy take a nap for a while."

The couple worked until after eleven o'clock last night, and Qin Dahe's waist is still sore.

The little guy's legs are really strong, and it hurts a little when he kicks my stomach.

It was already getting light outside, and the front and back windows were open, letting in a gentle breeze.

"Uh-huh!"

"Wow!"

Seeing that her daughter was crying, Yanyan had no choice but to get up.

"Brother, you sleep a little longer." She yawned, picked up the baby and went out.

Qin Dahe responded in a daze and fell into a deep sleep.

As soon as they left the room, the two little ones stopped shouting.

The temperature in the morning is over 20 degrees Celsius now, and a hint of orange appears faintly on the horizon, which is a delight to look at.

"Woof woof woof!" The black bear saw people coming out and came over to stick close to them with a sneaky look.

The little guy is so fun, sweet and soft, and it feels good to be touched.

"Mom, the baby is up."

The kitchen light was on, and Qin's mother was probably preparing dinner. The family was driving a car now, and Qin's father went out very early.

"Take off your clothes first. I'll get the food ready and come over to change."

"No need, just serve the baby a bowl of rice soup." He rubbed his eyes and changed the baby's clothes outside.

You don't need to wear thick clothes in this weather. Just wear long sleeves and open-crotch pants in the morning.

"Later."

After a while, the old couple came over together, each bringing a bowl of rice soup.

This is filtered out after cooking porridge. It tastes delicious but light, just right for feeding children.

It’s not enough for children to just drink milk powder. They also need to try other edible things so that they can grow faster.

"Abao, hey, grandpa, come here quickly." The old man looked at his chubby grandson and felt so happy.

"Uh uh!" The little guy seemed to smell something and slowly crawled over.

The same goes for Qin's mother. Feeding the children is the most interesting thing.

The two little guys tasted extremely sweet. Drinking milk is not as interesting as drinking these.

The black bears were howling anxiously because they hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

"Go away, I'll get you something to eat later." Qin's father drove the dog away in a bad mood, without any regard at all.

Yanyan took a look with a smile, thinking that it was good to have her parents-in-law take care of the children, and happily went to the kitchen to have breakfast.
