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

Upon returning to the village, he encountered Chen Dahai, Yang Jun, and two others gathered in Liu Dade's courtyard.

Yang Jun, who was sitting directly opposite, saw Yang Bai return and waved to him.

"Brother Yang, I came to your house looking for you, but your wife said you weren't home. Would you like to come over and sit for a while?"

Yang Bai waved his hand, saying that he had just eaten at a large hotel in the county town and would probably throw up if he ate there again.

"No need, but I happen to have something to discuss with you."

He opened the gate to the courtyard and walked to the table, where he sat down.

"Brother Yang, what's up?"

Yang Jun picked up a peanut and chewed it.

The other two were also curious.

Yang Bai slowly began, "I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear?"

The three of them frowned.

Liu Dade, being the eldest, spoke first: "Let me tell you the good news."

Yang Bai crossed his legs and said seriously.

"We've secured an order for 40,000 jin (20,000 kg) of sardines from the cannery!"

The three of them looked at each other.

A burst of enthusiastic celebration erupted in an instant.

Yang Jun raised his glass and said, "Brother Yang, I knew you could do it. Forty thousand catties of sardines! How much money can we make?"

"Very good."

Chen Dahai clenched his fists. As long as he completed the order, he could pay off his debts ahead of schedule.

To start a new life.

"Yang Bai, you're our God of Wealth! Let's have a drink!"

Liu Dade raised his glass and downed it in one gulp.

Yang Bai coughed softly.

"Ahem, the bad news is that it has to be completed within two days, so you guys should go to bed early tonight."

Upon hearing that 40,000 jin would be completed within two days, the three men's eyes widened, and they spat out all the food and wine they had just eaten and drunk.

Liu Dade asked again.

"How many?"

Yang Bai held up two fingers and repeated what he had just said.

"40,000 jin in two days, so tomorrow our village will have to come out together with both wooden and steel boats to do our best to salvage."

Chen Dahai took out a Daqianmen cigarette, lit it, calmed down, and slowly spoke.

"40,000 catties in two days, theoretically two steel ships could do it, but the prerequisite is to find a sea area with a particularly large number of sardines."

"The most troublesome part of fishing is finding the fish's nests. Yang Bai, have you found them?"

Yang Bai nodded.

"Yes, I know the location, so please give it your all."

"After the deal is done, in addition to their share of the commission, each person will receive an extra hundred."

This level of subsidy is unprecedented among all fleets.

Chen Dahai nodded slightly.

"Alright, a generous reward will surely bring forth brave men. Yang Bai, tomorrow you tell me where to go and I'll go."

One hundred dollars is enough to keep the fishermen working non-stop for two days.

The remaining question is whether the sea area Yang Bai knows can withstand a fishing intensity of 40,000 jin over two days.

After listening to Chen Dahai's words, Yang Jun and Liu Dade both felt more confident.

The next day, all the fishermen got up early.

We arrived at the fishing port just as dawn was breaking.

Yang Bai handed the map to the captains of the two wooden boat teams and said.

"You all know the conditions for catching sardines, right?"

Everyone answered in unison, "Understood."

Last night, Yang Bai and the other three notified each of them.

They knew, of course, that the 100 yuan reward for success did not include the wages after the catch.

With that money, they'd be happy to do anything.

The fishermen showed no signs of fatigue.

They boarded the ship and left the shore one after another.

Yang Bai and Chen Dahai boarded their respective boats. This time, they planned to catch 10,000 jin of fish in a day, so they increased the size of their nets to 2,000 jin of drift nets.

Three more people were added to Yang Bai's boat. They would work for two days and bring the boat back at night. The crew needed to have enough time to rest.

As planned.

Yang Bai's steel boat led the way, with Chen Dahai's boat following behind.

It took about an hour to drive there.

Chen Dahai looked in that direction and frowned.

This direction isn't towards Widow's Sea, after all, Yang Bai made his money from Widow's Sea.

If you're asking where you can catch 40,000 catties of sardines in the Widow Sea, maybe you could give it a try.

Now, he's a bit bewildered.

Where is Yang Bai headed?

Is there any sea area with even more sardines than the Widow Sea?

Chen Dahai was puzzled, but Yang Jun and Liu Dade on Yang Bai's boat widened their eyes when they saw the route.

They were very familiar with this route; it was the same coral sea area where they had caught the red-spotted fish last time.

Liu Dade asked.

"Yang Bai, why did you go to the place where we caught red grouper last time? We didn't see any sardines there when we went diving last time!"

He was truly dumbfounded; he had witnessed it with his own eyes when they went diving last time.

Could eyes really lie? Or does Yang Bai possess some kind of magic?

Even if the sea area is constantly changing, it cannot change the environment.

Sardines live in sandy or muddy environments, which have absolutely nothing to do with red-spotted sardines.

Yang Bai shook his head and smiled.

"The first half of the route is the same, but you have to turn after two more nautical miles."

After traveling two nautical miles, it indeed turned east.

Chen Dahai believed Yang Bai's words, and could only believe them now. The boat slowly turned and continued to follow behind.

After driving for two hours, a small island gradually came into view.

This small island is uninhabited and unknown; hardly anyone has ever been here.

Moreover, those who came said there weren't many fish.

Yang Bai gradually brought the boat to a stop.

"Hang the red flag."

In the county, a red flag is a signal for fishermen to stop.

Chen Dahai saw the red flag hanging nearby, stopped the boat, and went up to the deck.

They had someone hang a gangplank on them and walk onto Yang Bai's steel boat.

"Yang Bai, I heard from people when I was captain that there's not much of a catch here?"

Yang Bai took out a map, spread it out, and pointed to the two sea areas on the left and right of the small island.

"That's because they went out of their way to catch big fish, and they didn't know where to find sardines, so they all said they had none."

He was deceived in his previous life, and later, with the advancement of technology, sonar was basically installed on steel ships.

After walking around the island, I discovered that there were many sardines in the blind spots of the island's bend and on both sides.

Most of them are located 30 to 40 meters underwater, occasionally surfacing.

As for how much?

Anyway, thanks to this bunch of sardines, he made five million in 00.

"Brother Dahai, you go to the left and I'll go to the right. This time, the sardine nets need to be laid down 30 or 40 meters down the channel to catch them."

Chen Dahai nodded.

He dared not say anything about Yang Bai's other aspects, but when it came to the sea, he said that as long as there was a large cargo, there would be absolutely no mistakes.

"Okay, I'll go back to the ship right away to cooperate."

He turned and went back to the ship.

The two boats continued to operate on both sides of the island to fish.

Linghai County Aquatic Products Company Fishing Port.

On Wu Anshun's table were dishes of fish slices and meat slices, cooked in a copper hot pot.

He placed the fish slices, which had been blanched for ten seconds, into the sesame sauce bowl.

"Xiao Liu, have you sent ships to all the sardine-producing areas?"

Xiao Liu, who had a rat-like beard, nodded.

"Brother, they've all been scattered."

His expression then became somewhat strange.

"However, we've been waiting for most of the day, and not a single ship has come."
