Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

Yang Bai wasn't afraid of being investigated. He had bought all sorts of foreign language books for his home. In his previous life, language gave him a significant advantage in foreign negotiations.

In this life, he wanted to learn more languages, so he actually bought all sorts of foreign language books from the black market.

Moreover, the original owner's experiences were flawless.

The original owner had never been in contact with foreigners, a fact that even the most discerning investigators could not find any flaws in.

He deliberately revealed that he knew foreign languages.

Because of the language advantage, it will be of great help in grabbing orders in the future.

He was indeed surprised to run into the head of the overseas sales department of Toyo Suisan Company. He decided to go with the flow to avoid speaking a foreign language during tomorrow's negotiations and catching them off guard, which could lead to unexpected situations.

For him, the benefits of this deal far outweighed the drawbacks.

Yang Bai was willing to take the risk.

The next morning.

Quanzhou Port Area Fisheries Bureau.

Yang Bai, dressed in a suit, stood outside the conference room with Chen Ming and others before pushing the door open and entering.

The people from Japan had not yet arrived; inside sat the director of the Quanzhou Fisheries Bureau and the general manager of the Quanzhou Fisheries Company.

The two men smiled slightly as they watched Chen Ming enter with his men; it was a smile of contempt.

Chen Ming sat next to the director of the Quanzhou Fisheries Bureau and placed his briefcase on the table.

"Director Hu, what are you laughing at?"

Hu Changshou, the director of the Quanzhou Fisheries Bureau, leaned back and crossed his legs.

"I laugh at your overestimation of yourselves. Quanzhou Port boasts the largest port outside of Ningjian City and the richest fishery resources in the province. What do you have to compare with? And you still dare to come here?"

When he heard that Fuhai was going to compete with them for this biggest order in recent years, he laughed.

Even setting aside the precedent of annual cooperation, their combined strength is something Fuhai cannot easily challenge.

"If you take 30% of the shares yourselves, there will be more cooperation in the future. Otherwise, once we expand our fleet, we won't even leave you a drop of soup."

Chen Ming also leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette, and started smoking.

"Director Hu, aren't you being a bit too confident? You're threatening people before they've even arrived?"

"Sorry, I'm not one to be threatened."

Hu Changshou stared coldly at Chen Ming.

"Comrade Chen Ming, you're always taking everything from me, are you addicted to it?"

Chen Ming shook his head

"This isn't robbery, this is fair competition."

Yang Bai watched the two bickering, knowing the reasons behind it from his previous life.

Because the two of them fell in love with the same girl in college, and that girl eventually chose Chen Ming.

Hu Changshou kept this matter in mind his whole life, and whenever the two of them met, sparks would always fly.

Hu Changshou eventually married the daughter of a high-ranking official, which led him to the lucrative position of the Quanzhou Fisheries Bureau, where he naturally became its director.

Over the years, he has always been one step ahead of Chen Ming.

"You!" Hu Changshou pointed at him, then released his grip and looked at Yang Bai. "You must be the maritime production champion of the Fuhai area. I heard you can enter the Widow's Sea as if it were your own backyard. Why don't you transfer your household registration and come here? You can command a fleet of 100-ton ships and do whatever you want."

Hu Changshou made the suggestion, and anyone with eyes could see that he was poaching people right in front of his arch-rival.

Hou Sanli tugged at Yang Bai's clothes and whispered.

"Yang Bai, we will investigate this matter thoroughly. Don't agree."

He was still uneasy about the suspicion that he was a spy yesterday, but it was indeed puzzling that a fisherman could speak Japanese.

Yang Bai shook his head, declining Hu Changshou's offer.

"Director Hu, Fuhai is my home, so I don't want to leave. I still want to settle down in Fuhai."

Hu Changshou smiled.

"What's there to miss about that awful place? Quanzhou will only get better and better in the future. You're welcome to come anytime you want."

As they chatted inside, the Japanese delegation entered one after another and sat down opposite them.

Kimura Yaro was surprised to see Yang Bai and pointed at him.

"Oh, Mr. Yang, I didn't expect you to be here too. Which region are you representing?"

Hu Changshou was quite surprised to see how Kimura Yarou and Yang Bai got to know each other.

Did the two sides already meet yesterday? No wonder Chen Ming is so confident.

"Comrade Chen Ming, I didn't expect your methods to be so despicable!"

Chen Ming had already guessed what he was thinking and said.

"Don't worry, there's no need for me to steal your business like this. We haven't discussed the plan privately; it's just that Xiao Yang helped him."

The next moment, Yang Bai's fluent Japanese shocked the Japanese representatives and the people of Quanzhou.

Hu Changshou's eyes widened instantly.

"Comrade Chen Ming, please explain this properly. How could a fisherman possibly know Japanese?"

Chen Ming smiled.

"Our Fuhai is a land of outstanding people and abundant resources, and Xiao Yang is a genius."

Hu Changshou twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Screw you, we didn't find any fishermen who speak Japanese. You guys showed me something amazing, it really opened my eyes."

His mind was a bit of a mess. No one in the world would believe that a fisherman could speak Japanese.

"Chen Ming, did you switch Yang Bai with someone else?"

Chen Ming was speechless for a moment.

"I don't believe you haven't read the Fuhai Daily. Take it out and compare it, and you'll know whether it's been switched or not."

Kimura Yaro was greatly impressed when he saw the suit Yang Bai was wearing.

"Mr. Yang, where did you buy that suit? It looks great on you."

Yang Bai said proudly, "My ex-wife made it; she's very skillful."

"Your ex-wife, my God, are all women in your country this virtuous?"

He looked at Yang Bai's clothes in disbelief. The fabric and stitching were the kind of craftsmanship that only an old artisan could produce.

"I'll be staying in Quanzhou for a few more days. Could you make me some clothes?"

Yang Bai shook his head regretfully.

"My ex-wife is making clothes for a specialist and won't be able to take on any other clothes for more than ten days."

Kimura Yaro sighed.

"Well, that's a pity. By the way, what's your official position? Or are you one of the translators? I'd like to invite you to come with me to Japan to work as my translator. I'll definitely offer you a generous salary."

Yang Bai shook his head.

"I am the captain of the ship representing Fuhai, and I am a fisherman. Unfortunately, I want to stay in China and serve my country."

Upon hearing that he was a fisherman, Kimura Yaro gasped in astonishment.

The Japanese delegation that followed also shook their heads when they learned that Yang Bai was a fisherman.

"That's a lie, the fishermen are more accurate than the people from Tokyo."

"How could that be? I thought he must be a Japanese language expert who graduated from a top university in China, but I never expected him to be..."

"Is this how China squanders talent? He speaks Japanese so well, yet he's just a fisherman."

Kimura Yelang held Yang Bai's hand.

"Mr. Yang, being a fisherman is a waste of your talents. Follow me, and I'll definitely make you rich!"

Yang Bai's lips curled up slightly, and he casually mentioned his approximate monthly salary.
