After listening to Zhao Xing's introduction, Zheng Gan's eyes lit up and he almost drooled as he looked at his opponent's high-tech fishing boat.
The main thing is that you don’t know until you compare. Compared with the ocean fishing boat they spent more than 10 million to buy, it is simply nothing.
"Tell me, how much does their boat cost so I can give up." Zheng Gan asked after wiping the tears from the corner of his mouth.
"Uh... I can't afford it anyway." Zhao Xing also liked it very much, but with his current assets, he still couldn't buy it.
Zheng Gan didn't know how much money he had exactly, but it was definitely not less than his own, which meant that he couldn't buy this ship even with 50 or 60 million.
"Well, this really makes me give up..." Zheng Gan said with a wry smile. He must be mentally ill to think about this at this point in time. He will wait until his assets exceed ten figures.
This bet was not a serious competition, so there were no messy speeches. Zhang Baiyang gave them a few instructions and then left, which meant that they could start going to sea at any time.
The bet will last for three days, starting from the dock in Wei City. There is no limit on the range, but you must return within the specified time. The judging criteria are based on the value of the seafood obtained. Whoever has the higher value wins.
"Let's go, men and women!" Zheng Gan shouted, and everyone quickly began to untie the ropes, and the boat slowly left the dock.
"I think we all know the purpose of this trip. It might be very tiring, but as long as we win, the prize money will be huge."
There weren't many crew members on the boat. Except for Zhao Xing, all of them were from abroad. However, without four local people, sorting and lowering the nets would definitely be a lot harder, so Zheng Gan offered a bonus right away.
Everyone has been working with him for a long time, and they all know how generous their boss is. If he says there is a huge bonus, then it must be a very large bonus, so everyone's enthusiasm is immediately mobilized, and they are ready to work hard.
When the two boats first came out of the dock, they were heading in the same direction, but when they were about to reach the deep sea area, they turned and went to the other side.
Seeing this situation, Zheng Gan actually breathed a sigh of relief. If the two ships were together, it would not be so easy to deal with them.
Some people may ask whether there is a possibility of cheating. Don't worry, the two boats have been equipped with cameras before they set out to avoid any messy behavior.
Zheng Gan was standing at the bow of the boat at this moment, checking the external map in his mind, trying to find a suitable place to cast his net. Fortunately, he had not come back to cast his net many times this year, so the number of red dots was quite considerable.
After choosing a good spot, he gathered everyone together and prepared to cast the first net.
"Everyone, pay attention. The first net you cast must burst back!"
People who fish at sea are generally a bit superstitious. If the first net has a good catch, it means that this trip will definitely have a big catch. But if the first net is not so good...
So everyone present put all their efforts into putting the trawl net into the water.
This ship is a large ocean-going vessel, and the deadweight tonnage of the trawl is five tons, so it takes a long time to lower the net, almost an hour and a half.
After setting up the trawl net, the rest of the work was left to Zheng Gan. The trawl net had to be dragged in the water for three or four hours, and the others took advantage of this break to have lunch and rest.
I came out quite late today, and I expect it would be good if I can get three networks at most.
"Chairman Zhang just called me and said that the other side has set up a network and asked us to deal with it well." Zhao Xing said while eating.
"Fuck! So fast?" Zheng Gan was stunned. From the time he came out until now, it took him almost four hours just to get there. It took more than an hour to get the net down. It would take another three hours for them to raise the net, but others had already raised the net.
"Damn, this speed is twice as fast as ours. This is really a bit difficult to deal with." Lin Hao's mood instantly turned bad.
The same was true for the others. In fact, they had not taken the competition seriously when they heard about it before. After all, they knew their boss's abilities and had even heard that there were people who were Zheng Gan's rivals when it came to fishing with nets.
But now the opponent is obviously not following the rules of martial arts. Once the high technology comes in, it's so damn terrifying. It's more awesome than any opponent we've encountered before.
This net is equivalent to two nets, it's quite powerful.
Not only them, even Zheng Gan was a little nervous. Although he had always believed in the ability of map plug-ins, he now encountered a plug-in and felt a little insecure.
Of course, I must not look discouraged, I can only force myself to say,
"Why panic? Even if they are fast, they may not be able to overwhelm the network. Maybe the number of people on the two networks is about the same as ours. Let's cheer up."
"Yes, if it really doesn't work, we have to work hard for the next three days, taking turns to catch as many nets as possible." Jia Gui followed.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. This kind of rotation method was very normal when they worked on the ship in the past, and even working all night was very common. It was only because Zheng Gan wanted to let everyone have a good rest that he made it so easy every time.
"Okay, let's make it this way first. Maybe we'll be lucky and catch a bunch of wild yellow croaker, sell it for 18 million, and then we can just declare the competition over." Zheng Gan laughed and joked.
After eating and drinking, everyone went to rest. Zheng Gan sat on the deck and dozed off, observing the direction of the fish school. From time to time, he also communicated with Captain Song Zhao and Wang Yunzhou via walkie-talkie.
By the time the trawl net was full, it took two and a half hours. This was thanks to the large number of fish, otherwise it would have taken at least four hours.
At Zheng Gan's call, everyone quickly gathered on the deck. They were all very nervous and hoped that the first net would yield a very good harvest.
"The net has been untied, be careful!" Zheng Gan shouted, and then waited for a few seconds before untying the rope.
In an instant, the full net bag collapsed and all the seafood inside fell onto the deck.
"Hairtail!" Zhao Xing exclaimed, then laughed.
Everyone else had a similar reaction. Although this catch didn't contain bluefin tuna or wild yellow croaker, the hairtail was still pretty good.
"Not bad." Zheng Gan nodded. However, he had seen the size of these red dots through the map plug-in before. Although he didn't know what kind of fish they were, he had a rough idea of the price.
Zhang Baiyang, who was anxiously waiting in the office, also received Zhao Xing's reporting call as soon as possible.
