Chapter 244 Jin Sanbao buys a big ship
"Hiss~ There is such a thing in the sea?" Jin Sanbao, Jin Fan and Chen Xudong climbed onto Zhang Ze's boat and saw the huge giant squid. They were all shocked and broke out in cold sweats.
This reminded them of their childhood experiences, when whenever they went to play by the river, adults would always scare them by saying there were monsters in the water that ate children.
It's only now that I'm an adult. If I had seen this thing as a child, I would have had nightmares for a long time, let alone playing by the water.
The appearance of the giant squid is indeed not that good. Although its visual effect is not as shocking as that of the manta ray, its long tentacles and big eyes are even more disgusting.
"It's over. How can I work in the future? When I stand by the boat, I'm afraid that a tentacle will suddenly extend from the water and wrap around me and pull me into the water." Jin Fan gestured the length of the tentacles and couldn't bear to look at it.
"No, it's not that exaggerated, right?" Jin Sanbao shuddered all over. He was not a brave man and he felt terrified just thinking about that scene.
Only Chen Xudong was better. Looking at the giant squid, he wondered how many pots would be needed to stew it.
Seeing that the two were about to develop a fear of the deep sea, Zhang Ze couldn't help but laugh and said, "You think too much. Except for a few particularly ferocious sharks, basically all creatures in the sea will not actively attack people."
"And this giant squid is a special case. Generally, an adult giant squid is only 13 meters long at most, not this big. It is even more impossible for them to eat humans, because you are not on their menu."
After hearing his words, Jin Sanbao and Jin Fan felt a little relieved.
"So this is called a giant squid. It seems like you know all the creatures in the sea, Aze."
"That's about right. If you go fishing often, you're bound to encounter all kinds of marine life. Plus, I've learned about them before, so it's normal for me to recognize them."
They didn't chat for long when Tong Yuanhang's trawler came over. They approached in the same way, making the boats stick together, and then several people climbed directly over the side of the ship.
"Where's the camera? Come on, let's take a photo together!"
After a fuss, Zhang Ze simply took out his camera and took a photo, which can be regarded as a precious photo of a giant squid of this size.
Who knows, maybe the giant squid will surpass the giant squid in Antarctica and become the largest member of the subclass Coleoptera in the world.
After taking the photos, Jin Sanbao and his friends enjoyed their time and went back to work.
They would not go back with Zhang Ze this time. After such a short time at sea, not even half of the fish tank was left. Although they would not lose money if they went back, they would not make much profit either.
So this time Zhang Ze went back alone, and after selling the fish he rested for a night and came back again.
Originally, he didn't care whether he took a rest or not, but he had to give others time to repair the rope.
Zhang Ze’s main source of income is longline fishing. Without it, his efficiency at sea is actually very average.
When he returned to the fishing boat, he caused another sensation, but everyone was just watching the fun and paid less attention to him.
Everyone has become accustomed to him bringing back large quantities of goods from time to time. If there is no excitement after a few months, some people might not be used to it!
When Zhao Xianghua received a call and learned about such a big squid, he immediately arranged for a large truck to go on the road and drove over himself.
This time, his restaurant will be busy for a while.
Zhang Ze’s bulk cargo marketing plan is simple and crude, but very effective. However, any advertisement has a time limit. It is normal for business to slowly return to normal after a period of popularity. Therefore, various rare deep-sea monsters are needed to maintain the popularity.
This time, Zhang Ze did not go to the city to sell fish. After getting the money and arranging various chores, he returned home and had a good rest for the night.
The next morning, he got up and practiced boxing in the yard. After stretching his body, he went next door to have breakfast.
Just as I was about to go and see if the longline was ready, I saw Jin Sanbao's wife and children running towards the dock in a hurry with happy looks on their faces.
"Hey, sister-in-law, what are you going to do? What good things have happened to you?"
"It's Aze, Abao and the others are back. Someone just told us that they caught a valuable big fish. I have to go check it out."
"Hey, Sanbao and the others are lucky this time!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Ze immediately changed his plan and rushed to the dock with his sister-in-law.
When we arrived at the dock, it was already full of people watching the fun. The villagers always did this whenever a large shipment of goods was delivered on a ship.
It’s just that Zhang Ze was always the protagonist in the past, so it’s quite interesting to be just a spectator today.
Although he was standing in the crowd and didn't try to squeeze in, he still saw the big fish hanging in the air.
It turned out to be a seven-band grouper, at least one and a half meters long, indeed a valuable big fish.
This one can probably be sold for two to three thousand. Jin Sanbao and his friends are really lucky this time.
To be honest, the number of seven-band grouper is indeed quite large. Even thirty or forty years later, there are still anglers with great luck who can catch such a big fish, but the catch rate is not as high as it is now.
But there are quite a few smaller ones, with the largest number weighing around five kilograms.
Soon, Jin Sanbao and his companions got the fish onto a cart and transported them out.
As for the remaining fish on the boat, let Jin Fan deal with it.
Zhang Ze looked at the direction they were transporting the fish with a strange expression. Could it be that they wanted to send the fish to his house and ask Lin Hu to help sell it to Zhao Xianghua?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly followed.
Jin Sanbao seemed to sense something. He turned around and saw Zhang Ze behind him. His eyes lit up: "Aze, why are you here?"
"I just met my sister-in-law. I heard that you guys caught a big catch, so I came over to join in the fun."
"You came at the right time. I was just wanting you to help make a phone call and ask Boss Zhao to buy this fish. We know that Boss Zhao likes fresh fish, so he brought it directly back to the ship after buying it online. Look, it's very fresh!" Jin Sanbao said as he opened the fish gills for Zhang Ze to see. The bright red color was indeed very fresh.
Zhang Ze immediately nodded and agreed: "No need to call, I will let Ah Hu drive you to the restaurant later."
"That will be such a bother for Ah Hu!" Jin Sanbao rubbed his hands and smiled a little embarrassedly.
"It's okay, just treat him to a drink!" Zhang Ze waved his hand and said, Lin Long and Lin Hu were too idle to go hunting in the mountains, and they were eager for him to find more things for them to do.
"Okay, I'll arrange it tonight!" Jin Sanbao agreed immediately.
We caught a big fish today, so we really have to treat our friends. Usually it's Zhang Ze who treats, and now it's their turn.
At this time, Chen Xudong thought of the giant squid and asked curiously: "Aze, did you sell the giant squid? How much did you sell it for?"
"It's not expensive, only five hundred. That thing looks rare, but it actually has no value." Zhang Ze said with a smile.
When Zhao Xianghua heard that the meat of the giant squid was not tasty, he immediately changed his mind and decided to find someone to make a specimen of it and put it in the lobby of his newly opened restaurant.
The good business made him decide to rebuild a building.
Although the amount of wine purchased here is quite good, it is impossible to expand due to building problems, and many places are a bit old. If we want to become bigger and stronger, we really have to change them.
"It's so big and only sells for 500?" Several people were a little surprised.
"Five hundred is expensive for something that can't be eaten, okay?"
"Then you came back in such a hurry, it seems like you've lost a lot!"
"That's not the case. If I don't come back, the giant squid might become smelly." Making money is still Zhang Ze's main goal, but most of the time he doesn't take money too seriously.
Having traveled through time from the future, he knew very well that such a huge giant squid had never appeared before. It would be a shame if it rotted and became smelly.
We walked and talked and soon arrived at his house.
Zhang Ze went in and called Lin Hu, and arranged for him to take Jin Sanbao to deliver the grouper to Zhao Xianghua Restaurant.
I had originally planned to go out to sea today, but now that all my friends have returned, I have no choice but to stay for another day and continue going out to sea together tomorrow.
But sometimes, plans can't keep up with changes.
Not long after lunch, Jin Sanbao, Jin Fan and Chen Xudong all came, wanting him to take them to buy a boat.
As for the original boat, I will contact someone to sell it once the new boat is ready to be launched.
Zhang Ze was a little surprised to learn that they were planning to buy a trawler like the one his brother-in-law owned. They saved money quite quickly!
But since the three of them contribute together, the pressure isn't that great.
So Zhang Ze went back to the city and drove the car out.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This car just sits there gathering dust most of the time, so it really needs to be driven.
Driving back to the fishing village, motorcycles were rare in those days, let alone cars.
Fortunately, Zhao Xianghua drove his car to the fishing boat several times, and the villagers got over the novelty. Although there were still children following behind and breathing in the car exhaust, they were not surrounded.
After waiting at the door of his house for a while, Zhang Ze was stunned to see Jin Sanbao and his companions all changed into new clothes.
"What are you doing, a blind date?"
"Don't talk nonsense. If your sister-in-law hears it, she will come to me tonight to make trouble." Jin Sanbao said with a sullen face, but the next moment his expression changed in an instant, revealing a flattering smile, "Isn't this your first time riding in a sedan? I'm afraid I'll make your car dirty!"
Seeing Jin Fan and Chen Xudong nodding their heads, Zhang Ze laughed, "It's okay, just sit wherever you want. If you get dirty, just wash it. Get in the car, I'll take you to the shipyard."
"Okay!" Jin Sanbao couldn't wait to open the car door and sat in the passenger seat, while the other two sat in the back.
"You know what, this sedan is really comfortable to sit in, much better than your truck."
"But it is still more convenient to drive a truck in the village!" Zhang Ze said after starting the car.
The road condition in the village is very poor. Because it is a dirt road, there are potholes everywhere. In addition, it has been raining for the past few days. After Zhang Ze drove back and forth for a while, the car became extremely dirty.
He was just used to seeing the nice cars of later generations, so he didn't take this car seriously. No normal person would be willing to drive to the village, especially on a rainy day like this.
Starting from the fishing village, Zhang Ze drove very slowly on the initial section of the road, and the car was shaking all the time because of the road section.
Fortunately, they were all fishermen and were used to the shaking when riding on a boat, so no one got carsick.
Once we walked out of the village and onto the main road, driving the car became much more comfortable and the speed could be increased.
The road conditions to the shipyard were always good, but became very bad when almost there. Fortunately, there were no particularly deep potholes, otherwise Zhang Ze would definitely regret driving.
When a car arrived, the shipyard took it very seriously, thinking it was a surprise inspection by some leader.
When the factory manager came out, he found out that it was an old customer.
With a smile on his face, the factory director received the guests very warmly.
He was deeply impressed by the fact that Zhang Ze bought a fishing boat worth tens of thousands of dollars from him. Moreover, his brother-in-law and his family also bought a trawler here and now brought people here. How could he not maintain good service for such customers?
Jin Sanbao and his companions were lucky. When the domestic economy began to take off, more and more people bought large ships.
The shipyard has currently changed its main business from small boats to ships suitable for sailing in the open sea, so the shipyard happens to have some inventory at the moment.
Because Zhang Ze was an old customer, the factory manager gave him some discounts.
A trawler with better equipment than Tong Yuanhang's would cost fifteen thousand.
Jin Sanbao and his friends discussed it and decided to take this boat, so they paid a deposit.
But by the time the ship is renovated and launched, it will probably be after the New Year.
They are actually short of money, so they can take advantage of this period of time to earn some.
There is no room for bargaining, so buying things is quite quick and easy. Nowadays, the shipyards have not been privatized, so there is no such thing as cheating people.
After ordering a new ship, Jin Sanbao and his friends were very excited and were waiting to get the ship after the New Year to start working on it.
Jin Fan showed off his cooking skills in the evening and prepared a large table of delicious food.
Another day passed, the rain still didn't stop, but the temperature didn't drop any further. It was estimated to be just over 20 degrees during the day, which was just right to wear long sleeves.
There is no need for air conditioning or electric fans when sleeping at night, so Zhang Ze's family can save a lot of electricity bills.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Ze was ready and set off again, continuing to head towards the distant sea.
This time we continue to develop the reef and ruin the treasure land we discovered last time.
I didn’t make much money from the giant squid, but the price of those wrasses was not low, not worse than that of the grouper.
After the damage to the waters here is almost over, he plans to go to some more distant places to have a look.
The most boring time is when the fishing boat is sailing, so Zhang Ze specially brought his home VCR this time to watch all kinds of bad movies from Hong Kong Island.
There is one bad thing about the reborn person. For example, he has no interest in watching the currently popular "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". He can only watch movies that he could not watch in his previous life.
It’s true, Hong Kong needs people like Liang Kun. Even though the movies he makes are bad, they are very distinctive.
Zhang Ze also enjoyed the show. The only negative comment he had was that the woman screamed in the same tone every time she was beaten. She needs to learn some lessons in this regard.
After watching a few bad movies, he got a little bored.
Unfortunately, even the simplest game of Tetris was released in 1984, so there was no game he could play to kill time.
So he took out the psychology that he usually used to speed up sleep and started studying it.
This thing is somewhat useful. It also makes it easier to figure out what other people are thinking when you interact with them.
While he was studying it, a group of chirping sounds were heard from the sea in the distance. Zhang Ze looked up and saw a scene that he would never forget.
The sea surface was dyed red with blood. A great white shark that was at least six or seven meters in size was struggling desperately to escape, as if there was some terrible terror behind it.
