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

Even a director at his level can't ride a motorcycle to regional meetings, yet Yang Bai immediately asked for motorcycle vouchers—something he really couldn't decide on his own.

Yang Bai knew in his heart that he had only brought it up by chance.

"Okay, I'll take this job. Do you need me to prepare the tools, bait, and manpower?"

To catch tuna, you need a super-large circular deep-sea net, which can be three or four hundred meters long, and you need several small boats to work at the same time.

The number of staff should be increased to at least twenty.

He wasn't just aiming to catch 5,000 catties of tuna; he was simply taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune by catching tuna.

Hou Sanli was taken aback. Tuna is mostly caught by fishing, and fishing for tuna does not require a large number of people.

They've already provided enough people, why do they need more?

"Yang Bai, we'll have ten people on each ship, isn't that enough?"

Yang Bai shook his head, "It's far from enough."

He then picked up a piece of paper and a pen, made a list on it, and handed it to Hou Sanli to look at.

When he saw it, his eyes widened in surprise.

"You're trying to catch ten thousand pounds of tuna?!"

Hou Sanli was completely shocked by Yang Bai's idea.

Even if it ends up being mixed with mostly second-grade tuna, catching tens of thousands of kilograms is still quite a feat.

He began to doubt whether Yang Bai could do it.

"Yes, how about we make a bet? If I can manage 10,000 catties a day, give me 100 industrial vouchers."

"If it's less than a pound, we'll give you half the price of the fish we caught that day, and we'll still pay the labor costs for the workers we hired."

To be honest, if we sold the sewing machines and motorcycles, the industrial vouchers Hou Sanli gave us wouldn't be enough.

He also wants to get a watch strap.

Buying from the black market is risky without reliable connections, and most of what you get will be fake.

Ren Haiping laughed loudly.

"Okay, if you can really manage to produce 10,000 catties of tuna a day, that would be a huge help to the commune and even the region. A hundred sheets would be a small problem."

He hadn't expected Yang Bai to make such a boast, and he was now somewhat looking forward to seeing if he could pull it off.

After finalizing the tuna order, Yang Bai chatted with the director and Manager Hou.

We talked about how the tea leaves had been changed twice.

Ren Haiping smiled and stood up, saying, "We chatted until after three o'clock without realizing it. I have to hurry back to handle official business. Don't see me off."

Su Wanqiu appropriately served four boxes of West Lake Longjing tea, two of which were given to Ren Haiping.

"Director Ren, please accept this gift as a token of my gratitude."

Ren Haiping was stunned for a moment before personally accepting the West Lake Longjing tea.

"Okay, don't spend money on me in the future. Yang Bai can come over to my house when you have time, and I'll give you a gift too."

The remaining two boxes were given to the clerk and Hou Sanli respectively.

Yang Bai nodded and saw them off at the door.

Su Wanqiu breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down in her chair.

"Yang Bai, do you think it's possible to catch 10,000 jin of tuna?"

Tuna is a very expensive commodity, and she naturally understands the principle that the more expensive it is, the rarer it is.

The price can be as high as 3.8 yuan per kilogram, which shows how difficult it is to get a share.

Yang Bai put his arm around Su Wanqiu and said, "Who is your husband? He's the top dog at sea. He catches 10,000 catties of tuna a day. As long as the manpower and equipment are in place, nothing is impossible."

Thinking of people like Wu Anshun, Su Wanqiu became somewhat wary. "Yang Bai, will you encounter the same danger as last time?"

Yang Bai shook his head decisively, "The boat belongs to the government, and the people belong to the government. If that blind fool were to make a move, he wouldn't even be able to leave the commune. Nobody has that kind of guts."

He actually hoped that Wu Anshun's men would act like fools and block the boat, so that he could wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Looking at the confident look on the man's face, Su Wanqiu felt a strong itch in her heart.

Her rosy lips pressed directly against Yang Bai's.

Yang Bai, who was bragging to his wife, seemed a little caught off guard.

"Late Autumn, you're not..."

He was about to speak when her tongue pried his mouth open.

She had enjoyed it before, but she had never been this proactive, especially not in the middle of the day.

Yang Bai, I love you.

Su Wanqiu's lips parted from Yang Bai's, her face more radiant than the sunset's glow, her eyes glazed over.

Yang Bai swallowed.

Never mind, what's there for a grown man to be so awkward about?

"Late Autumn, I love you too."

She lifted Yang Bai's chin with her slender, pale fingers and kissed him.

A long, passionate French kiss stirred up hearts that had been dormant for so long.

Yang Bai lifted Su Wanqiu up with his strong arms and drew all the curtains closed.

Even in the evening, things can be quite lively, and the clock strikes six.

Yang Bai wanted to try again, but Su Wanqiu stopped him with her foot.

"That's all for now, you beast, I'm going to pick up Qiaoqiao."

Yang Bai glanced at the time and sat back down helplessly, saying that they shouldn't have done it in the afternoon.

Su Wanqiu buttoned up her clothes, dressed neatly, combed her hair, and rode her bicycle to the primary school.

Yang Bai also got on his tricycle. He needed to inform the captains of the various ships about his plan to go out to sea to fish for tuna.

Come over to my place for a get-together.

Soon after, the three captains, along with Liu Dade and Yang Jun, gathered at Yang Bai's house.

They carried a lot of good wine, food, and drinks. Knowing that Yang Bai doted on his daughter and ex-wife, they also brought a lot of toys and cosmetics.

They're all piled up on the small table.

Yang Bai called out from the kitchen, "Please sit down first, I'll cook."

Liu Dade went into the kitchen and offered to help Yang Bai, who was chopping and preparing vegetables.

"I'll help out."

"OK."

Yang Bai nodded.

Yang Jun was displeased; it made them seem inadequate to rely solely on Lao Liu's help.

The others thought the same way, and they all came to the counter to ask for help.

Yang Bai looked at this group of people and felt a headache coming on.

"Old Liu can cook, that's why I asked them for help. None of you even know how much water to add to rice, so don't come here and cause trouble."

"Sit still, I have something to tell you in a bit."

Hearing this, they had no choice but to go back and sit obediently.

An hour later, one fragrant dish after another was served.

The aroma was so enticing that everyone's mouths watered.

At this moment, a commotion was heard outside the door.

When Zhang Ning came home from get off work, she saw that there were guests at home and went to the kitchen to ask Yang Bai.

"Is there something important happening today, or is it just a drinking party?"

"We need to inform them of something. After we finish eating, they can go home. They won't stay long."

Yang Bai served the dishes.

He has to get up very early tomorrow, Qiaoqiao has to go to school, and the two girls have their own things to do.

It's impossible for them to stay out until the wee hours of the morning. Even if they were to go out, they would go to the homes of Chen Dahai and Yang Jun, two single guys.

"Okay, I understand."

Zhang Ning went inside.

Everyone stood up at the same time.

"Hello, Second Sister-in-law!"

Zhang Ning was startled by this sudden turn of events.

She nodded and smiled, "Okay, okay."

Next, Su Wanqiu brought Qiaoqiao in.

They continued to stand up in unison.

Hello, sister-in-law!

Su Wanqiu was speechless as she led Zhang Qiaoqiao, who was jumping for joy, to wash her hands.

Yang Bai sat down after serving the last dish.

"Don't joke like that with Ningning and Wanqiu, it'll scare them."

"Starting tomorrow, I'm going out to sea to catch tuna for three days straight."
