Chapter 265 Let’s get a small fleet first
. “You look like you’ve been wandering all the way here. You’re all smelly. Take a shower at my house first, and change into clean clothes. I’ll take you out to eat.” Zhang Ze covered his nose and took two steps back with a look of disgust on his face.
"Does it stink?" Zhang Qinghe raised his hand and sniffed his clothes, "Ugh~"
"Why is it so smelly? It must be those guys sitting next to me. I was choking on the stink when I sat down."
"Okay, go wash first! Do you have any change of clothes? If not, wear mine first."
"Yes, yes, yes. I brought it myself."
Let him take a shower, Zhang Ze went to the living room and called the village chief in his hometown.
He is Zhang Qinghe’s father, the former village leader.
Then Zhang Ze understood why Zhang Qinghe suddenly came to his house.
I wanted to come here to develop my career, but my family disagreed and even arranged a blind date for me.
Zhang Qinghe insisted on coming, and after having a falling out with his family, he ran away secretly.
His old father was so angry that he simply pretended that he never had this son and stopped his family from looking for him.
"."After understanding the situation, Zhang Ze was speechless. He was an adult, but he was still acting like a child.
But think about my current age, I’m only in my early twenties.
Young guys of this age, if they are spoiled by their families, tend to be more childish.
Given Zhang Qinghe's personality, it is not surprising that he would do these things.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ze began to think about what to do with him next.
He himself had the idea of opening a fishing company, and in the early stage he set up a small fleet, mainly engaged in selling fish and preparing seafood for sale.
In terms of selling fish, the main priority is to provide ingredients to the seafood restaurant and Zhao Xianghua’s several seafood restaurants. The surplus can be sold to seafood vendors or aquatic stations.
Once your income becomes stable, you can register a company and open a seafood products factory.
With this foundation, it will be much easier to accumulate funds and become bigger and stronger in the future.
Especially when it comes to investment, this is the real way to make money without doing anything.
At that time, you don’t have to just focus on the domestic market. You can also invest in foreign companies that will definitely make money in the future.
But these are too far away, let’s organize a fleet first!
After a while, Zhang Qinghe came out of the shower. Zhang Ze saw the dirty clothes in his hands and taught him how to use the washing machine and threw the clothes into the washing machine to wash them first.
After washing, I squeezed the water out and hung it to dry before taking him out to eat.
I didn't go to Zhao Xianghua's restaurant on purpose, but found a small restaurant nearby.
Watching Zhang Qinghe quickly finish a bowl of noodles and pick up the second bowl, Zhang Ze asked, "Qinghe, you came to Nanguan rashly, what are your plans for the future?"
"Of course, just like you, I'll develop here and get married." Zhang Qinghe said and began to complain, "You should have contacted my dad!"
"I don't really have to come, but he's been forcing me to go on blind dates every day for the past year. If it was someone as gentle and pretty as my sister-in-law, why wouldn't I agree? But every time he finds someone, either his waist is two times thicker than mine, or his butt is bigger than my toilet bowl."
Zhang Ze almost laughed out loud when he heard this. If Zhang Qinghe, who is so small, married a big guy, wouldn't he be picked up and beaten like a kid if there was a conflict at home? "No, what's the situation with your parents? We don't have any good-looking girls, right?"
"Who said it wasn't true?" Zhang Qinghe sighed helplessly, "This has to start from when you left your hometown."
"When my mother went to the city to see me, she met a charlatan. I don't know what he said specifically, but he said that I had a peach blossom curse in my life and that I couldn't get in touch with beautiful women, otherwise I would be killed."
"Plus, I was bewitched by that educated youth Liu before, so since then, the blind dates they found for me were either thick or big. Oh, brother, I have a hard life!"
However, Zhang Qinghe, who was complaining, did not notice the shocked expression on Zhang Ze's face opposite him.
He is the one who knows best whether Zhang Qinghe has the Peach Blossom Curse or not. If he hadn't changed everything after his rebirth, the ending of this childhood friend would really be the same as what the fortune teller said. Wait, that's not right either!
Although Zhang Ze didn't believe this, Zhang Qinghe's peach blossom curse should have been overcome by now, so why was it still there?
At this moment, he didn't know whether the fortune teller was really capable or just a blind cat catching a dead mouse and guessed right.
Zhang Ze knew that some fortune tellers were really talented. Their skills were not magical, but they had specialized in this area and had learned a lot. They could roughly calculate some things based on a person's face, palm, or perhaps some specific information and other random things.
Not exact, but something like that might happen.
This is also the reason why fortune tellers always speak ambiguously, because they themselves do not know more precise things and can only deceive people through their rhetoric.
Of course, there are times when you guess wrong. But it doesn’t matter, at worst you can just switch to the next person and continue. There will always be times when you are right.
"Qing He, since you plan to develop in Nanguan, do you have any plans?"
Zhang Ze wasn't sure whether the Peach Blossom Evil was real or not, and this matter remained to be seen, so he changed the subject and talked about something else.
"Aze, can I go to sea with you for a while, and then buy a boat after I make money?" Zhang Qinghe paused in his eating and asked with a licking face.
"I also inquired with Emirates at the end of the year. A trawler that can go to the open sea is too expensive. I still need a lot."
"My boat is actually not suitable for you, but I have an idea, I don't know if you are willing." Zhang Ze will definitely continue to go to sea, but he is destined not to be suitable for people to follow him for a long time.
"What's your idea? Tell me."
"It's like this. I plan to open a fishing company and specialize in seafood in the future. But I don't have much money right now, so I have to take it step by step and build a small fleet first."
"I will provide the boat, but I don't have anyone suitable for the moment. The captain needs his own people. Boatmen are not a problem. We can just go to the fishing village to recruit them."
"I have a few brothers-in-law and friends in the fishing village who can be captains. You also have fishing experience. As long as you go to the open sea a few times and gain experience, you can become a captain. So are you willing to help me?"
"I'll help, of course." Zhang Qinghe agreed without even thinking about it, and didn't even ask about the salary.
"You trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I'll cheat you and let you work for nothing?"
"If you wanted to cheat me, you did it when I was in Wenshui City. It was because of your care that our family lived such a good life. I, Zhang Qinghe, am not an ungrateful person."
Seeing this, Zhang Ze said no more. Several captains were his own people, so he had already thought about the year-end dividends.
Six people like Jin Sanbao, Tong Yuanhang and others can directly invest with their ships and receive dividends at the end of the year.
As long as the fleet is big enough, the dividends they get will definitely be more than if they go out to sea to fish and sell fish themselves. Moreover, if a seafood product factory is set up in the future, they can also invest in it.
Although Zhang Qinghe has nothing, as the captain he can also get dividends at the end of the year, but it will be less than Tong Yuanhang and others.
Zhang Qinghe was temporarily arranged to live in one of the houses he bought. His uncle and others had already gone back on the tenth day of the first lunar month, so the two houses were empty again.
After resting at home for so long, Zhang Ze is about to go out to sea again.
The seafood restaurant's business is booming right now, but because there are few high-quality large fish, Zhao Xianghua came to urge him again.
There was no way. The big fish caught by the fishermen took a long time to get from the sea to the land. In addition, if the fish were not handled properly or not frozen well, the freshness of the fish would be far inferior to the one he sent.
After customers eat the fish he sends, they will definitely be dissatisfied with the other fish after comparing them.
This situation can only be improved after domestic cold chain transportation develops, which will take a long time.
Zhang Ze took Zhang Qinghe and set off for the fishing village, found Tong Yuanhang and Jin Sanbao and others, and began to discuss setting up a fleet.
When they heard that they could invest with their ships and get dividends at the end of the year, none of them disagreed out of trust in him.
"By the way, Aze, how many ships do you plan to have in your fleet first?" Jin Fan asked.
Zhang Ze told them his plans one by one.
"You are the only ones I trust right now, so I will buy five more trawlers in addition to your two boats."
"You guys are the captain, and the crew will be made up of honest people from the fishing village, with priority given to those from poor families."
"When the boatmen are familiar with the methods of fishing in the open sea, you can recommend reliable people to be captains, and our fleet will continue to increase until we have 20 ships."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"After we develop well, we may be able to get a few medium-sized fishing boats of 40 to 50 meters and go fishing further south. Or we can get large fishing boats of 100 meters and go to the high seas."
"These are things for the future. For the time being, let's increase the number of small trawlers to 20."
After hearing this, Jin Sanbao and the others all had excitement in their eyes.
Now they may earn a few thousand yuan from a trip with great effort, and if three people share it, it will be even less.
But as long as the fleet grows bigger, the dividends at the end of the year will definitely be very substantial, not to mention future factory investments or something like that.
This is equivalent to Zhang Ze eating the meat, and they are lucky enough to drink the soup.
Moreover, they also have a fixed salary as captains, and can earn three hundred yuan a month.
Of course, the salary is far less than their original income, and it mainly depends on the dividends.
However, there is no rush for this matter. Although Zhang Ze has contacted the shipyard and ordered five trawlers, the quality of which is the same as the ones bought by Jin Sanbao and his friends, and each costs 15,000 yuan, it will take three months for them to be put into water.
So he asked Lu Wenbin to arrange for Zhang Qing and Zhang Qian to study accounting and finance in the garment factory so that they could come to work in the fishery company he opened three months later.
After all, every time a fishing boat comes back and sells a catch, it has to be counted, and Zhang Ze can’t buy it all by himself.
For important positions such as financial accounting, my sister is the only one who can do it.
They knew they were working for their brother, so they studied very seriously.
Of course, it is somewhat difficult to become a real accountant in just three months as their foundation is not good, but they can first become a cashier and know how to do accounting.
After discussing with Jin Sanbao and the others, Zhang Qinghe just handed it to them to take. They could get on whichever ship they wanted, even if they had to take turns.
Zhang Ze was not in a hurry to go out to sea today. His fishing boat was kept in the shipyard for maintenance at the end of the year and was still very dirty. He had already asked someone to clean it.
The third sister and her younger brothers and sisters also washed the quilts and other things, but they are not completely dry yet and have to wait until tomorrow.
Now Lin Long and Lin Hu are not as idle as before. They have to go to work at the seafood restaurant during the day and can only come back after get off work at five o'clock.
The seafood restaurant also has three deputy security captains who are on duty at night, so Lin Long can go home to accompany his wife at night.
In the evening, I had a meal at Lin Long's house next door, and then came back with Lin Hu and Zhang Qinghe to rest so as not to disturb others.
Apart from Zhang Qinghe, neither he nor Lin Hu likes to eavesdrop.
He did not give away the two houses in the fishing village. After all, they were the first houses he bought when he came to Nanguan, and they contained memories of his family.
However, he paid for Lin Long and Lin Hu to build a new house each in the village, but it has not been completed yet, so they continue to live here.
The next day was Zhang Zenian’s second trip to sea.
He went to bed early last night, so he woke up just after the sun came out.
The main purpose of this trip is still to catch big fish, but there is no need to prepare top-quality fish like for the opening ceremony.
We can prepare more tuna. The business of Chixian Seafood Restaurant is very good at the moment, and reservations have been made until next month. Some wealthy people in Nanfang seem to be quite interested in sashimi.
Therefore, Zhang Ze needs to buy a lot of bait at the dock to attract tuna so that they don't run away so quickly.
There are a lot of small squids today, so let's buy some.
This time, Zhang Ze was more confident about catching tuna because he got four particularly bright fish-attracting lights.
This light is specially used by some squid fishing boats. It is particularly bright at night and can easily attract phototactic squids.
Originally, Zhang Ze wanted to make a few fish-attracting lights that could be placed in the water, but he couldn't find any. He guessed that no one has designed them yet, or they are not available in China.
He didn't attach much importance to this thing, so he didn't go to Hong Kong Island to look for it.
With the fish-attracting lights, Zhang Ze’s chances of attracting tuna can be increased a bit.
I bought some bait and asked the fishermen to help deliver it to the boat.
The third sister brought her younger brothers and sisters to bring sheets, quilts, pillows and other things to the boat and made them out. Originally he was planning to pay someone to do these things, but the third sister snatched them away after she found out.
She was mainly grateful to Zhang Ze for helping her husband. As a woman in a fishing village, she had no other instincts and could only do what she could.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the preparations were completed and Zhang Ze started the fishing boat and set off.
As for Jin Sanbao and Tong Yuanhang, they had already left ahead and they took different routes.
Zhang Ze wants to walk along the coast first to see if there are any big fish.
This time he first set out to take a look around Hailing Island and passed by the mangrove forest again on the way.
I cast two traps here last year, but there weren't many blue crabs at all.
It’s not that there are no blue crabs, but they all dig holes to spend the winter.
Zhang Zena also forgot the habits of blue crabs, and in the end he only harvested a batch of gobies and mudskippers.
Here we wait until the weather gets warmer and come back half a month after the blue crabs are out of the pit, and we will definitely have a good harvest.
The blue crabs just out of the pit will be very thin because they have spent the winter. Wait for them to fatten up after half a month before harvesting them, and you will get a batch of plump winter crabs.
