Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 484: The Yacht with Amazing Expenses

The next day, Qin Dahe couldn't contain his excitement and drove straight to the dock at dawn.

I have already made arrangements with Mr. Wu and will go there tomorrow. It's just the right time to check out the samples from the fishing box.

He was not in a hurry to buy equipment as he knew nothing about it. He just waited for Wenwen to come and help him choose.

Today, except for the fishing gear, all expenses will be shared equally by everyone.

It wasn't until around seven o'clock that a brand new X5 drove over.

Two men got out of the car, dressed very smartly.

Qin Dahe himself was wearing a black vest with a sun-protective suit on the outside.

This is how people normally dress when going out fishing. Hats, sunglasses, and sun-protective clothing are almost standard equipment.

"Dahe, this is my friend Xiaoxia, and another one went to get the boat."

"Hello." After a polite greeting, the three of them began to choose fishing gear.

"You have a fishing rod, don't you?"

"I brought a rock fishing rod and a lure fishing rod. The boss said the rock fishing rod can easily catch a hundred pounds of fish."

I considered the possibility of fishing this time, but I didn't bring a fishing rod.

"That's all, let's really go aboard and cast the line on the giant creature." Wenwen nodded and began to equip him with equipment.

Because we were going to the shallow sea, I brought 300 meters of large braided line and the hook was also relatively large.

"There's no such thing as blocking the mouth of fish in the sea. They eat very aggressively."

"Live bait is best. We'll go to the sea and ask the fishing boats. Let's buy some whitebait and shrimp first."

Seafood here is more expensive. The small white seal and cuttlefish are not dead yet. I guess they were delivered by fishermen overnight. They weigh 61 kilograms.

Although Qin Dahe didn't care about such a small amount of money, he was secretly shocked that sea fishing was really expensive.

They took some fish pieces as bait and added a lot of tied leading wires, and then everyone came out.

The sun had risen completely, and the sunlight shining directly on my face was quite dazzling.

The Huangpu River is extremely prosperous, and you can even see cruise ships coming in from the Yangtze River estuary.

When he got down to the dock, Qin Dahe took the initiative to distribute cigarettes to everyone. This time he brought soft Zhonghua cigarettes, which were handed to him by the black pit owner. Considering that he was going out to sea today, he bought another one.

Light it up and take a deep breath, the wind from the river blowing on your face brings a hint of heat.

It's June, and summer is coming.

Ten minutes later, a white catamaran yacht of nearly 20 meters in length came over from the periphery. A moment later, a dark-skinned man waved his hand on the flying bridge on the second floor.

"How did it get so late?" They began to load things onto the boat. There were quite a lot of things for sea fishing.

"Damn it, I almost ran into someone at the mouth of the Yangtze River." The man cursed and came down to help move.

"This is Dahe, Daliu's brother and my friend."

"This is Ergou."

"Get the hell out of here! My name is Gou Er." The black-faced man glared at Wenwen in dissatisfaction.

This crappy name will really follow me for the rest of my life. I don’t know what my dad was thinking when he gave me such a name.

"Hello, Brother Gou Er." Sounds a bit like Brother Gou Er.

"Puff!" Everyone laughed.

"Haha, shit."

"You should just call me Ergou. I'm used to it." Gou Er said angrily.

Everyone got on the boat laughing and went to the flying bridge on the second floor. Ergou started to drive the boat out of the dock.

It was Qin Dahe's first time to go out to sea by boat, and he couldn't help looking around.

"This yacht originally belonged to the Liu family. Uncle didn't need it, so the three of us bought it together." Wenwen said with a smile.

He skillfully took out a few bottles of soda from the refrigerator next to him and gave one to each person.

"You can't drink alcohol while fishing at sea. You have to wear a life jacket when you go fishing later."

"I know that. I always wear a life jacket when I go island fishing. Safety first." Qin Dahe nodded.

The bustling Bund gradually faded away and the yacht soon entered the Yangtze River estuary.

Across the street is Changxing Island. At that time, Jiangnan Shipyard Group had not yet moved here, and the reeds and beaches formed a desolate scene.

The yacht is not very fast. According to Wenwen, catamaran yachts prioritize comfort and are much slower in speed, which is just right for their fishing.

The water at the Yangtze River estuary, washed down by a deluge of silt, had turned a murky yellow. Once eastward, it suddenly turned blue. Heading into the sea breeze, Wenwen began using his radio to contact nearby fishing boats, asking if anyone had live bait and offering to buy some for a high price.

"You've just left the Yangtze River estuary, right? Thirty kilometers northeast, we have some mullet and mantis shrimp, as well as quite a few live sword prawns and swimming crabs."

The view here at the Yangtze River Estuary is wide, and there is no need to report coordinates even within 30 kilometers.

"almost there."

Without even asking the price, Ergou changed direction and drove over.

The three of them are all from wealthy families and they certainly won’t care about this small amount of money. It is even more impossible for Qin Dahe to lose face at this time.

When making friends, you can't pretend to be rich, but you can't be stingy either. He can definitely afford today's consumption.

When we arrived at the place, we saw a dilapidated fishing boat parked there. It was only about ten meters long and there was no trawl equipment behind it.

The three of them went down, opened the ladder and started moving the bait.

They are all placed in the live water tank, and those bought in the morning are placed in the cold storage.

The yacht has been modified and designed specifically for fishing, which is very convenient.

He ordered twelve kilograms of goods in total, and it cost him five hundred yuan. This price is definitely too high because the fish and shrimp used as bait are not big.

Besides, logically, fish from the sea would be much cheaper.

"Uncle, the price is too high." Xiao Xia glanced at him with a smile, turned around and went upstairs.

The rich second generation is not stupid, and they know that they have been cheated.

But today a new member joined, so it’s not easy to get angry. I’ll just go back to the dock and find someone to make things difficult for this fisherman.

Qin Dahe also had similar thoughts. Since this was his first time joining and he was not familiar with the prices of seafood, he did not speak.

The old fisherman grinned as he counted his money, completely unaware that he was being hated.

If Xiao Xia and the others give a warning, the ship may be detained.

Returning to the flying bridge on the second floor, he asked, "Isn't it the closed fishing season now?"

The fishing ban in the Yangtze River has not yet begun, but the fishing ban along the coast seems to have been in place since the 1990s. Can we still cast nets?

"Those boats casting their nets aren't afraid. The old men are older than the last."

Wenwen smiled and said, "They won't affect our fishing. It's the fishing moratorium now, so it must be fun to fish."

At this time, the radio began to get busy.

"Who has discarded tuna punctuation marks? I'll buy them for 10,000 yuan. I'm Fengxinghao." Ergou kept shouting on the public channel.

Qin Dahe was a little curious, so he asked Wenwen.

It turns out that many sport fishing boats carry underwater detectors. Sometimes when they encounter sparse schools of tuna, they will mark them first. If they find larger ones, they will sell these discarded ones.

These coordinates are actually useless. There are too few of them and they are always moving, making them very difficult to fish.

"Don't you have underwater detection on board?"

"Yes, it broke when we went out to sea the day before yesterday. The new one will not arrive from the United States for a few days." Wenwen said depressedly.

The weather is good today and there are no waves on the sea. Even if the detector is broken, they still want to go out to sea for fishing. There are not many days a year when it is suitable to go out to sea.

"A high-precision underwater detector costs over 600,000 yuan. This yacht is a bottomless pit. We've already spent over 3 million yuan this year."

Even though the three of them are rich second-generations, they still feel a little pain. If it weren't for the occasional support from their families, they would have to sell the yacht.

As I said, as long as you don’t start a business or gamble, your family will strongly support this kind of consumption on food, drink, and entertainment.

"More than three million? This ship cost that much?"

"Yes, we replaced the ship's stabilizers and detectors this year, and maintenance is expensive."

"It burns a lot of oil. I filled up three tons of gasoline this morning and used up more than 10,000 kilometers, which is only enough for two or three days of fun." Ergou couldn't help but complain.

"We have to maintain it regularly, otherwise the rust from corrosion will be unsightly and cost tens of thousands of dollars each time."

When it comes to spending, the three of them can't stop talking.

Qin Dahe listened for a long time and showed a wry smile on his face. This yacht is really not something that ordinary people can play with.

A trip to the coast for fishing costs four to five thousand dollars on fuel. This was his first time out to sea, so he didn't go far.

It is normal for a yacht to burn tens of thousands of dollars in fuel for a normal trip to the open sea.

If I want to own a sport fishing boat, it will be difficult for me to be worth hundreds of millions, so I still have to work hard to earn money.
