It is already October and the weather has become much cooler. It is still very comfortable to feel the sea breeze on the deck. When winter comes, it will be the most painful time to cast the net.
"There are fewer and fewer fish in the sea." Zheng Gan couldn't help muttering as he looked at the map. Since the sea was opened, the amount of fish in the sea has been decreasing every day. Fortunately, the country has the requirement to close the sea, otherwise it would not take long to deplete the resources in the sea.
"There's no way. This is the situation when going out to sea now. The harvest is the greatest at the beginning of each trip. As time goes on, everyone's harvest will decrease, and there are even cases where the boat returns empty." Jia Gui explained on the side.
To be honest, going out to sea to cast fish does rely more on luck. For example, there are those who caught a net full of wild yellow croaker and sold it for seven or eight million, which is enough for a lifetime. However, there are also many who have been in a state of loss. The wages of the workers on the boat, the fuel costs for going out to sea, maintenance costs, etc., are all considerable expenses.
When Zheng Gan heard this, he started to think about it. From this perspective, it would be no problem to make an ordinary living by fishing. After all, he has earned over a million yuan since he first went to sea more than a month ago.
But this does not conform to his goal. In today's society, if you want to achieve financial freedom, you must have at least 30 to 40 million in your hands.
If you think it's a lot, you will know if you calculate it carefully. It takes a little over one million for Zheng Gan to spend on the wedding alone, including buying a house, a car, a betrothal gift, etc. This is when they live in the village. If they live in the county town, the decoration of the house alone would cost almost one million.
Having children after getting married costs money, and raising children costs even more. You have to take care of a child from birth to marriage, which costs at least three or four million yuan. If you have another child, the cost will double.
All these add up to less than 10 million, so does that make up more than 300 or 400 million? It is indeed very ordinary.
Okay, that’s all the words I want to say. I’m just writing down my feelings. Now let’s get back to Zheng Gan.
Now the sea resources are beginning to decline, so we need to find some other ways to make money. Previously, Zhao Xing and Liu Feng, two newbies, said they wanted to set up an ocean-going company, and Zheng Gan agreed. When he took Zhang Baiyang to go fishing some time ago, he asked about it and was told that the formalities were being processed, and there were basically no problems, it just took some time.
As for ships, there are several with good performance under inspection, and I believe there will be results within one or two months.
Therefore, the next goal is to look at deep-sea fishing. The marine resources abroad are relatively abundant. King crabs, snow crabs, etc. are all caught in piles, and there are even schools of bluefin tuna. You can make a fortune online.
As he was thinking, the "Make Money" also left the shallow water area. The fish catch here also increased slightly, but it still did not meet Zheng Gan's requirements for setting the net.
"Uncle Wang, keep driving forward and go to a farther place to check the situation." Zheng Gan commanded through the walkie-talkie.
Wang Yunzhou replied "OK" and continued to speed up.
They drove like this for more than three hours before Zheng Gan called for a stop.
The current location is basically the same as the location where they went tuna fishing for the first time. It is very far away. Generally, this type of boat rarely comes out and the cost is too high. If there is no big catch, it will be a big loss.
As for stopping now, it is because Zheng Gan has found a very good location. From the map, although the number of red dots in this area is not so dense, the number of large goods is very considerable.
You don't even need a map; you can tell it based on experience alone.
About two hundred meters to the southeast, you can see a large number of seabirds rushing into the water like cannonballs, so there is a high probability that there are bluefin tuna in this area.
"Lower the net!" Zheng Gan gave an order, and the trawl net was quickly lowered into the sea, and then the boat began to move towards the southeast.
"Everyone, be careful! There might be a school of tuna nearby. Be sure to be alert when you go online later."
Except for Jiang Feng, everyone on the boat was an experienced veteran, and they could tell something from the sight of the seabirds rushing into the water just now.
If you really come across a school of tuna, catching it in a net would be no different from catching a wild yellow croaker.
After only twenty minutes, Zheng Gan informed everyone that they could pull up the nets. However, there was no other way. The carrying capacity of their boat was still poor. The net bag could only hold one ton, and the tuna were generally large, often weighing dozens of kilograms, and the big ones even over a hundred kilograms.
After just one turn, I found that the net bag was full.
"The exciting moment is about to come, everyone be careful." Zheng Gan was ready to pull the rope. Even though he knew from the map that the net bag was full of large goods, he was still very excited when he saw the bulging net bag with his own eyes.
With a loud "bang", all the large cargo in the net bag fell onto the deck. Because of their large size, the noise they made was also very loud.
"Oh my God, they are actually all tuna!" Jia Gui's eyes widened. There were forty or fifty bluefin tuna on the deck. The scene was really shocking.
Wang Yunzhou also rushed out to watch the fun at this time. Seeing so many bluefin tuna, he also called out to God for help.
As for the others, they were already standing there in a daze, unable to believe what they were seeing.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, don't just stand there, hurry up and clean up the fish! Drain the blood and remove the acid!"
Zheng Gan shouted loudly, instantly waking up everyone. They started to work in a hurry, some moving the fish and some bleeding the fish.
Large fish like this must be bled to preserve freshness and extend shelf life. Bleeding reduces the amount of bacteria and microorganisms in the fish, making it easier to preserve and transport over long distances.
In addition, the tuna is gutted and acid removed after being killed to further ensure its quality and taste.
With the joint efforts of everyone, it took more than an hour to clean up all the tunas. Although there were only forty or fifty fish, they were all quite large and it was still very difficult to carry them.
"I've counted everything, brother. This net has a total of 1,960 kilograms. There are two fish weighing over 100 kilograms, 22 fish weighing over 50 kilograms, and the remaining six or seven fish weigh 20 to 30 kilograms." Lin Hao excitedly began to report.
"Okay, okay." Zheng Gan also smiled happily. The value of this net of fish alone was definitely over 300,000 yuan. It was a huge harvest.
