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

Haian County Fishing Port.

It was nearly midnight when all the other boatmen stopped operating.

There were also trucks lined up waiting at the dock.

Hou Sanli was anxiously looking at the dark sea.

Standing in front of Hou Sanli was Huang Chaoyuan, the deputy director of the cannery.

And the handsome young man, Zhang Wei, is the head of the Fisheries Section under the Regional Fisheries Bureau.

Hou Sanli walked up to Zhang Wei and said with a smile, "Section Chief Zhang, I didn't expect you to come so late?"

Zhang Wei glanced at the time on his watch.

"This order is quite important to our Fisheries Bureau. I've also heard that Yang Bai is going to challenge himself to catch 10,000 catties of tuna. I'm quite curious."

The inspection teams from Hong Kong Island and Singapore must satisfy them.

This depends on whether Fuhai can upgrade its industries, obtain foreign exchange, and scale up its operations at this critical juncture.

Hong Kong Island and Singapore are reliable international gateways.

Currently, the country is in dire need of foreign exchange, and tuna, being a high-end fish, is extremely popular in the market.

Experts came to inspect and confirmed that signing a long-term agreement would open a stable foreign exchange channel for Fuhai.

This matter was botched. There was no export, only domestic sales, which led to a chain reaction: the regional aquatic product industry did not develop, received no funding, and lacked preferential treatment in terms of political resources.

He naturally wanted to come and check it in person that evening.

We absolutely cannot allow a single substandard tuna to appear before the inspection team.

"Well, Yang Bai also made a bet, but the motorcycle voucher he wants is a bit hard to get."

Hou Sanli nodded, while also subtly hinting at the matter.

Zhang Wei laughed and said, "As long as he really manages to get 30,000 jin for three consecutive days, and half of them meet the first-class standard, the motorcycle voucher is practically guaranteed."

The two chatted.

A bright light flashed on the dark beach.

A large ship weighing 100 tons sailed in from a distance, cutting through the waves.

A hundred-ton ship was docked at the pier, and Yang Bai stepped down from the wooden planks that had been placed on it.

He saw a lot of people in front of him, many familiar faces and many unfamiliar faces.

Huang Chaoyuan greeted him with a smile, "Brother Yang, it's been a long time."

"Director Huang, you've arrived."

Yang Bai shook hands with him.

Smaller yellowfin tuna are usually kept in canneries for canning, but the regional leader naturally comes for them.

Huang Chaoyuan then began his introduction.

"Yang Bai, this is Zhang Wei, the head of the Aquatic Products Department."

"Zhang Wei!"

Yang Bai's eyes showed a hint of surprise. In his previous life, he had dealt with seafood and aquatic products all his life, so he was naturally very familiar with the local seafood bureau.

When he first met Zhang Wei in his previous life, Zhang Wei was already the director of the Fisheries Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture. Before his reincarnation, he had a successful career and rose to the position of Minister of Agriculture.

In the past life, our interactions were mostly business-related; I never imagined we'd meet again in this life when he was a section chief.

Becoming friends with him could at least lead to further progress in the fishing industry.

"Hello, Section Chief Zhang."

"You must be Comrade Yang Bai."

Zhang Wei shook hands and asked with a smile.

Yang Bai nodded. "That's right. Did Section Chief Zhang come here for the tuna?"

"Yes, this batch of tuna is extremely important to us. Comrade Yang Bai must ensure its quality."

Zhang solemnly entrusted him with this task.

"Section Chief Zhang, I guarantee everything will be perfect. I also want a sewing machine and a motorcycle!"

Yang Bai patted his chest and guaranteed it.

Workers will unload the tuna from the ship in batches, weigh them, and inspect them according to standards.

People are always rushing around.

Officials present were also inspecting the site.

Zhang Wei stroked a tuna and nodded slightly.

"This box has reached the highest standard. Comrade Yang Bai, have you fulfilled your bet of 10,000 jin?"

Yang Bai pointed to the workers who were carrying the loads.

"We've arrived. They'll probably have to work a bit longer; moving 10,000 jin of tuna isn't easy. Section Chief Zhang, everyone go back and rest."

Not only are there 10,000 kilograms of tuna, but also other miscellaneous small fish; it would take seven or eight hours to finish processing them.

At this moment, the clerk from the Fisheries Department also ran over to say something.

"Section Chief Zhang, there are at least 10,000 kilograms of tuna in the freezer. It may take until 7 o'clock the next day to unload them."

"Alright, let's go to the guesthouse to rest first. See you tomorrow, Comrade Yang Bai."

Zhang Wei nodded; he hadn't expected Yang Bai to actually catch 10,000 jin of tuna.

He was actually looking forward to seeing how many heads would reach the first-level standard tomorrow.

"See you tomorrow, Section Chief Zhang."

Yang Bai watched them leave.

Back on board, every 100-ton ship has sleeping quarters.

Yang Bai arrived at the captain's single cabin, where a clean white boat was placed by the window, with all four corners bolted shut.

Even the wardrobes and desks are fixed in place to prevent them from being overturned by the big waves at sea.

He lay on the bed, which was naturally much better than the iron bed on the ten-ton steel ship.

Once ships are allowed to be bought and sold openly, he will buy one of these ships to go on long voyages to fish, and may even be able to bring a wife along.

Yang Bai closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

It's 7 a.m.

Yang Bai gets up at the appointed time, washes up, and goes to the deck.

Seeing the young apprentice on duty, he asked.

"Have you moved most of the fish from the freezer?"

The young apprentice nodded.

"Captain Yang, yes, we're almost done moving. I reckon there are only a few boxes left."

When Yang Bai went downstairs, the last few boxes had just been unloaded.

Zhang Wei and other government officials arrived in a dusty tractor.

They got off the tractor, and Yang Bai greeted them again.

Zhang Wei called over the clerk from the Fisheries Department and asked.

"Have all the tuna been weighed? How many meet the requirements?"

The clerk picked up his notebook, glanced at it, and reported back to his supervisor.

The following is the value of the tuna caught on the first day in Yangbai.

"A total of 11,085 catties, of which 7,769 catties are first-grade tuna and 3,316 catties are second-grade fish."

"And the tuna that met the second-grade standard was because it was underweight."

"This batch of tuna also includes 1,360 pounds of bluefin tuna."

"701 jin is considered first-grade standard, and 659 jin is considered second-grade standard."

"The reasons for achieving Level 2 compliance are the same as those mentioned above."

The entire audience gasped.

In other words, as long as the weight is sufficient, all tuna meet the first-class standard.

Moreover, Yang Bai also caught 1,360 catties of bluefin tuna, which is the most precious type of tuna.

Bluefin tuna is extremely rare in the waters off Fujian Province, and is considered a rare and highly sought-after tuna with an exorbitant price!

Bluefin tuna is 15 times more expensive than yellowfin tuna.

57 yuan per jin (500g).

"Yang Bai, you're amazing! You completed all the production in just one day!"

Hou Sanli was ecstatic; this battle was enough to make the seafood company famous.

Zhang Wei was equally excited.

Yang Bai not only did it beautifully, but it was unexpectedly beautiful.

"Comrade Yang Bai, you have successfully completed your mission. Please continue your efforts over the next two days."

We want the entire next tuna catch. We'll do everything we can to fulfill your request.

Manager Hou, your task now is to keep an eye on the tuna!
