Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 488: Tungsten Steel Fishhook with Amazing Pulling Strength

A sip of beer and the breeze from the riverside made me feel extremely comfortable.

"An uncle of mine often goes fishing for tuna on the South China Sea continental shelf. Their boats all have electric winches."

When I was talking about sea fishing with Uncle Qing, I heard that the fishing club there charges a high fee, but the equipment is also top-notch.

"Tsk, it's so boring to install an electric reel. You can't even catch the fish yourself." Wenwen said disdainfully.

"Exactly. We've been on a sport fishing boat before," Ergou said contemptuously. "All we had to do was hang the bait and control the switches. Fishing wasn't fun at all."

Qin Dahe disagreed in his heart, but still nodded. There was no need to spoil the fun at this time.

Isn't the progress of human civilization the use of tools? Otherwise, why use a fishing rod? Just catch the fish with your bare hands and experience the thrill of fishing and hunting.

When the tuna fillets came up, Qin Dahe took a bite. It tasted good, but the texture was a little lacking.

I took a sip of malt beer and felt refreshed and comfortable.

"The fatter the tuna, the better it tastes. This one is too thin, so we can only eat it as is." Liu Da said and started eating.

"The best is definitely the bluefin tuna. The fat is just right, and after a quick spray, it's fragrant and tender."

Wenwen started bragging about his bluefin tuna again. Yellowfin tuna are mostly found in coastal areas of China, while bluefin tuna are relatively rare.

"A fishing boat in Zhoushan once caught a net of bluefin tuna. My dad told me they sold that whole net for 17 million yuan."

"Damn, so many?" Qin Dahe was a little surprised.

"Well, I heard that fish weighing over 300 kilograms can sell for hundreds of thousands of yuan or even more," Ergou said enviously. "I wish I could catch one."

"Even if you had it, you wouldn't be able to pull it up. It's impossible to catch a sea fish weighing three or four hundred kilograms by human power." He said.

Uncle Qing also talked about fishing for big tuna. Although it cost more money for him to go out to sea with the club, they were more professional and could find the place where the ocean currents converge to catch big fish.

It is difficult to catch a deep-sea fish weighing more than 300 kilograms without the help of an electric reel. Don't even think about doing it alone, as you may be dragged down.

Ergou froze when he heard this and started eating his meal awkwardly. He had never caught a 300-pound fish before, so he didn't know what it felt like.

"Damn, it seems like I can't catch it." Wenwen remembered that it took two people's help to catch the 170-pound tuna.

If a person weighing 170 kilograms can do this, a person weighing 300 or 400 kilograms will surely fly away.

"When I caught a 200-jin herring, I needed someone to help me," Qin Dahe said with a smile. "I think you'd better install an electric reel, unless you don't plan to catch big fish."

"I really need to buy one." Ergou scratched his hair. "A good electric winch is not cheap. I have to spend money."

At this time, they didn't say anything about the electric reel being boring. They went to the sea to catch big fish.

Wenwen and Xiaoxia were also a little speechless. A yacht had been renovated several times and the equipment was constantly updated. How much money did it cost?

The key is that I haven’t caught many big fish yet, and I can’t even read the sonar.

Today's underwater detection is not an underwater camera. It needs to be able to analyze parameters to know the status of fish.

Not many people in those ocean-going companies are proficient in using them, and they were damaged due to improper operation.

"Do you want me to support you guys?" Big Liu said proudly. "I still have over three million in my card."

Freshwater fishing is relatively inexpensive, and fishing tackle shops are all opened with the help of family members.

"No, I still have some money." Wenwen ate the fish fillets depressedly.

As rich second-generations, Wenwen and the other two have no idea how much money they have invested in the yacht. They are also planning to replace the fuel tank soon. This money is enough to buy a new yacht.

Qin Dahe listened to their conversation and happily ate the grouper. The fish was delicious.

I'm not too keen on the other dishes; they're too bland, and the seafood is a waste.

Spicy stir-fried snails, garlic oysters, and grilled grouper will definitely be more delicious than this table.

When I go to Shenzhen in the future, I will catch a few pounds of seafood every day to try.

But today was pretty good. I earned more than 10,000 yuan from my trip to the sea.

After the meal, Da Liu found a few designated drivers from somewhere and helped them drive the car back.

There are very few people on the streets. Even in Shanghai, the nightlife is limited to a few busy streets at this moment, and it is not as lively as Wuhan.

Qin Dahe also gave up the idea of going to the Internet cafe and decided to post it next time.

The main reason why he can stay popular in the forum is that he posts a large number of teaching posts, so that everyone has a place to learn Taiwan fishing.

There is also the explosive news about the 200-jin herring, and the post is still being pushed to the top.

I returned to the hotel and fell asleep.

The next morning at eight o'clock, after breakfast, I went directly to Mr. Wu's processing plant.

The factory was already busy at this time. I heard that they had received a batch of foreign trade hardware orders and were working overtime.

After all the fishing gear samples were produced, Qin Dahe began testing them on the spot.

The fishing platform is tested for stability, load-bearing capacity and deadweight.

He even found a slope to place it down, then jumped twice before nodding his head in satisfaction as he accepted it. "Just follow this standard, and subsequent products will be randomly inspected," he said seriously.

"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely get it done for you." Mr. Wu smiled and brought over the other fishing gear.

Tried the fishing rod holder and it was fine.

Tungsten steel hooks are even mass-produced, and it is impossible to grind one out individually.

On-site tensile testing showed that even the No. 1 hook had an incredibly strong pulling force.

It was even more exaggerated further up, the No. 5 hook even broke the large braided line.

"Mr. Wu, I'll be frank."

"I don't care how much you make. If the price of tungsten steel goes up, I'll pay more, but the fish hook must be made of tungsten steel."

He fell in love with the hook the moment he tested it. This strength is better than 90% of the fish hooks on the market in later generations.

The silver-gray texture is like a swordsman seeing a good sword. He believes that a true fisherman will not be reluctant to buy a fish hook that costs only a few cents.

"Haha." Boss Wu knew from Qin Dahe's eyes that he was very satisfied with his product. "Here are some bait boxes and fishing boxes."

He said proudly that although the factory was not big, the reason it was able to gain a foothold in the Shanghai market was its reputation.

No matter whether it is a large order or a small order, he personally follows up on quality issues.

The fishing box is also of paramount importance. When he saw the fishing box, he frowned because the workmanship was a bit poor.

However, considering that it would take two days to make the mold, I didn’t mention this first.

Open the four retractable legs, adjust the angle, and even stand on it and do one-legged pose. It can fully withstand the pressure.

Then open the internal space and try to store the float, sub-line and other things, and the requirements have been met.

"Boss Wu, please make the fishing box more meticulously and polish it to a smooth finish." After a pause, he continued, "We'll give it a paint job before it leaves the factory. You can choose blue, green, or black. Whichever is cheaper, use it."

"The subsequent outer packaging will be delivered the day after tomorrow, and it will be ready when shipped out of the factory."

"Okay." That's what it should be.

The outer packaging box and anti-fall foam of the fishing box cost more than three yuan, which cannot be borne by the processing factory.

They have already provided the painting and parts assembly, which saves a lot of trouble.

It would be impossible to assemble 1000 fishing boxes without a factory, and the Qin family’s yard would not even be enough.

Next is the bait box. The large bait box fits perfectly on the fishing box.

There is just a slight problem when the upper layer rotates. Mr. Wu said that it will be changed later and the production of this order can be started.

He handed over a Zhonghua cigarette, and the two of them smoked and chatted in the factory area.

After the business is done, it is also necessary to curry favor with others.

He lit up a cigarette and took a deep breath. He still had a good impression of Mr. Wu. He was also a machining boss in his previous life, so he naturally felt close to him.

When the two talked about the development of machining, Qin Dahe advised the other party to pay more attention to high-precision lathes and optimize the production process.

"You also have the Yangshan machine from Cixi. Isn't the production efficiency very high?"

The two walked to a bench and sat down. The factory itself was small and there was no pavilion for rest.

"Yes, that thing is really useful. All we need is an apprentice to keep an eye on it." Mr. Wu laughed, feeling helpless. This guy is so evil that he even knows the origin of the machine.

"Do you think the price will get lower and lower once everyone uses this thing?"

"."

He must know because he is already lowering his offer.

"Brother, we have dealt with each other several times, and I hope your factory will continue to do better and better."

"This is my first time placing an order with you this year. Thank you for your tolerance. You were able to handle such a small order in both quality and quantity." Qin Dahe put out his cigarette and said seriously, "I can't guarantee anything else, but I'm sure there will be more orders in the future."

"Haha, brother, let's not be so formal and have a drink together at noon." They are all from the same hometown, and he also thinks Qin Dahe is a good person.

He knows a lot, has a wide network of contacts, and will have no worries about making a fortune in the future. He is considered a high-quality partner.

"No, I have to rush back to the county. It's almost time to say goodbye." He looked at the time and it was already nine o'clock.

We should be able to reach Wuwei before dark.

"Okay, I won't delay any longer then."

He walked them to the factory gate and only turned back after watching everyone get on the bus.

Qin Dahe leaned back in his seat comfortably, feeling very satisfied. He also brought a lot of fish hooks and placed them on the driver's seat.

This batch of wide-mouth fish hooks is the ceiling of quality. They are more than enough for sea fishing and are perfect for taking back for your own use.
