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

For the next three days, Yang Bai worked at sea except when he went home at night.

We also ordered a new batch of crab traps, and with the sixty more we ordered later, we will have a total of one hundred crab traps for crab catching in the future.

Because the amounts were too large, he would first settle accounts with Liu Dade and Yang Jun, then go to the aquatic products company to withdraw the money, and deposit it the next day.

Although the method is cumbersome, it is much safer.

Three days later, Yang Bai disembarked early, deposited the money, and rushed home.

He placed the passbook he was holding on the table.

The two women stared at the passbook with some anticipation.

For three days, the passbook was kept in Yang Bai's possession, and they had no idea how much money they had earned during those three days.

Yang Bai opened the passbook.

The numbers above stunned both women.

Zhang Ning picked up the passbook and counted the numbers on it, somewhat unable to believe her eyes, counting them over and over again.

Finally, he gasped, his voice barely audible as he spoke in disbelief.

"Nineteen thousand eight hundred and eighty-two yuan and thirty-six cents!"

Excluding daily expenses, there are also the two bicycles I bought last time.

Yang Bai really earned 10,000 yuan in three days!

Su Wanqiu had seen a lot of the world, but she had never seen a villager make so much money.

"Yang Bai, is Widow's Sea really teeming with gold?"

Yang Bai's lips twitched into a wide smile as he nodded.

"Otherwise what? The dangerous waters mean no one dares to go fishing. The creatures in the sea are all big and plentiful. If your husband scoops them up, he can easily catch at least 800 pounds."

He then changed the subject.

"For someone like me who is familiar with the sea, it's like fishing for gold bars, but for someone who isn't familiar with it, the outcome is the same as the Zhang family's."

"Now you believe that your husband wasn't lying to you, right? Tens of thousands and millions are just a piece of cake for me."

Yang Bai's catch of fish has transformed the previously obscure county aquatic products company into one that is now praised by leaders in the region.

Zhang Ning nodded. "I believe that."

Yang Bai steered the conversation back on track, "Now the houses can be built, right?"

Seeing that he could earn so much money during his usual rest time, Su Wanqiu agreed.

She also knew Yang Bai's personality; he was the type that couldn't be swayed even by nine oxen.

Ultimately, he was doing it for the good of the family.

"Okay, I'll go talk to the Party Secretary, or you can go."

Yang Bai leaned back in his chair and stood up.

"Since I'm free today, I'll go look for it."

He opened the locked cabinet in his house and took out two peony teas, a bottle of Wuliangye liquor, some chocolates that the children love, and building blocks.

When you go to the village secretary's house to ask someone for a favor, you can't be ignorant about giving gifts.

Otherwise, even the best of friendships will be rendered meaningless.

I hung it on the bicycle and rode towards the Party Secretary's house.

A knock was made on the door, and a small head peeked out.

It's Ma Qing.

He saw Yang Bai smiling broadly.

"Uncle Yang, you've arrived."

"Yes. I also brought you a gift."

Yang Bai handed over the building blocks and chocolates he was holding.

At school, my daughter was closest to Ma Qing and Liu Kai.

These two little boys also knew how to protect girls, so naturally they wanted to give this boy something.

Ma Qingxi happily accepted the building blocks and chocolate.

"Son, who is it?"

A loud voice came from inside the house.

Ma Qing, carrying his things, happily called out, "It's Uncle Yang!"

Ma Hou came and opened the door, saw Yang Bai standing at the door, and asked.

"Is there something you need?"

Yang Bai was carrying a bottle of wine and cigarettes.

"Secretary Ma, I need your help with something."

Ma Hou's heart sank; Yang Bai always managed to cause big trouble.

This time, the person who took the initiative to ask for help is probably not simple.

but......

Ma Hou clenched his fist slightly, and finally waved his hand to signal Yang Bai to sit down.

"Speak, what do you need me to do?"

Yang Bai asked with a smile.

"Secretary, this is a small matter for you. It's just that you can help me move my homestead to the second team, to that big open space at the entrance of the village."

Ma Hou frowned.

"Why would you want to relocate your homestead for no reason?"

Yang Bai explained, "I have a little money now and I'd like to build a nice house and move in. What do you think?"

He took out a pack of matches from his pocket, pulled out a pack of Peony cigarettes he had bought separately, lit one, and handed it to Ma Hou.

Ma Hou took it and inhaled deeply, exhaling thick smoke through his nostrils.

After a moment of contemplation, he nodded.

"Given our friendship, I'll definitely have to get this done for you."

"But... I'm also facing difficulties, you have to help me."

"I don't need these things."

Ma Hou pushed the gifts that were placed on the table back.

Yang Bai was stunned for a moment. Could the village secretary be in trouble?

We have to ask him to help us catch fish. Just how difficult is it to entrust him with this task?

"Secretary Ma, you said that I will definitely do it within my capabilities."

Ma Hou stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.

"Only you can do this."

"You know about the last shipwreck; the village still hasn't recovered."

"Half of the ship was destroyed, and a total of eleven people died."

"The production schedule for this year is probably in jeopardy. I'd like you to lead a team to salvage the area."

"One trip is enough. Once you agree, I'll agree to anything."

Although they successfully borrowed the fishery company's boat, they still had to pay rent, and the eleven fishermen who were injured were all experienced fishermen, so this was a real loss.

If the production progress for the year fails to meet the requirements, coupled with the demerit he received for this maritime disaster, he will be punished.

His position as Party Secretary is likely to be reassigned.

Yang Bai shook his head decisively.

Ma Hou frowned, a surge of anger rising in his heart, and questioned in a low voice.

"Yang Bai, what do you mean?"

Seeing that the Party Secretary was a little angry, Yang Bai quickly waved his hand.

"Secretary, it's not that I don't want to agree."

"What I'm worried about is that the last person who went in with me caused such a serious shipwreck, let alone me personally leading the team in."

"The waters inside are complex. If someone with malicious intentions were to come along like Liu Caixia, we'd be in big trouble."

Yang Bai saying such things is only one of the reasons.

Although they can now rely on the collective, the buying and selling of ships is tightly controlled.

The money in one's hands is like a drop of water in the ocean compared to steel ships; how can one even begin to build one's own fleet?

He couldn't be a saint, handing over the sea area he had painstakingly explored in his previous life to someone else just to build a house.

Making selfless contributions to the village.

Hearing this reason, Ma Hou's anger subsided considerably, but at the same time, a chill began to run down his spine.

He knew perfectly well that Yang Bai would never allow Yang Bai to lead the team indefinitely.

The county's aquatic product companies couldn't stop him from doing what he wanted.

If you only lead a team once, upon careful consideration, such a thing could indeed happen.

If another Liu Caixia were to appear, his political life could end right there.

"Yang Bai, I think you have a solution. As long as we can meet the production targets, I'll agree to anything."

Yang Bai smiled slightly.

"Secretary, I actually have an idea. As the saying goes, 'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.' I'd like to set up a seafood farm."

If you can't run a private enterprise, can't you run a collective breeding farm?

Anyway, with the seafood company behind us, sales shouldn't be a problem.

As for breeding, it's entirely possible to breed them directly from the sea.

Abalone, mud crab, and prawns—even widow's sea bream are top-quality, first-class specimens!
