The yacht was in complete chaos.
Someone was shouting for help towards the Dong Sheng ship;
Some people were running around like headless flies;
Someone was crying helplessly in fear...
For some reason, no one jumped into the sea to check the propeller.
Feng Ye looked at the chaos on the yacht and shook his head inwardly.
These people are probably spoiled rich kids; they have no experience at sea and probably lack practical skills.
They panic when faced with problems, and all they do is shout nonsense without any proper coping strategies.
This group of people actually dared to venture deep into the sea. I don't know whether to say they were fearless like newborn calves or ignorant and fearless.
Moreover, they were lucky that the incident only happened now.
If there had been storms a few days earlier, these people would most likely have perished at sea.
Feng Ye wasn't in the mood to deal with them for the time being; he needed to try and close the net first.
Since the yacht is immobile and cannot leave, there's no need to rush the claim.
The stern was now safe and there were no longer any dangerous factors.
He called out to Ye Chenliang and Du Yulin, asking them to come with him to close the net.
At this moment, Ah-Can got out of the driver's seat, cursing angrily.
"That fucking idiot, he's really ruining himself and others..."
"Stop cursing. What good will it do? The deed is done."
Feng Ye patted him on the shoulder, "Let's see if we can bring the net back first, and then we'll settle accounts with them."
"I'm just so angry."
Ah-chan said angrily, "We were just fishing peacefully, and they had to come over and show off."
It's amazing that you caught a big bluefin bream, especially since you got so close to it.
Now look what's happened, something bad has occurred.
Feng Ye's heart stirred, and he glanced at the bluefin tuna still hanging there, a sly glint in his eyes.
"Weren't they trying to show off? When we settle accounts with them later, we'll make them give us that big blue fin as compensation!"
To be honest, he was quite envious of that bluefin tuna.
If Ah-Can hadn't mentioned it, he really wouldn't have thought of asking them to use this fish as compensation.
Such a plump bluefin tuna is worth at least five thousand dollars, more than enough to compensate them for their loss.
"Hey, that's a good idea, let's do it."
Upon hearing this, Ah Can immediately went from anger to joy, "Without the Big Blue Fin, let's see what they have to brag about now?"
Feng Ye urged, "Alright, get to work."
"Okay."
Ah-chan responded, his heart pounding with excitement and enthusiasm at the thought of possessing that bluefin tuna.
With one less tow rope, pulling in the net became much more difficult and time-consuming.
Normally, it only takes about twenty minutes to haul in the net, but this time it took twice as long.
Fortunately, the trawl net was successfully brought in little by little.
Moreover, the fish in the net are still there.
This can be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
The net caught a variety of fish of different species and sizes, but overall, the harvest was quite good.
Especially when they saw that there were quite a few more yellow chicks, Feng Ye and the other three all showed satisfied smiles.
"We caught yellow chicks in two consecutive nets. It seems we're having a lucky day."
Feng Ye picked up a yellow chick, weighed it in his hand, and laughed, "It's quite big, a little over a pound."
Ye Chenliang nodded: "Yes, if we hadn't run into that yacht, today would have been a huge success."
The mention of the yacht caused all four men's faces to darken.
Feng Ye, in particular, felt a surge of anger when he thought about the damaged tow ropes on the yacht and the potential losses.
If one of the cables breaks, the operation can no longer continue.
Although a cargo ship has been contacted to come, the cargo ship does not carry such things; it only carries consumables such as diesel, ice, fresh water, rice, flour, and cooking oil.
In other words, they had to go back ashore to buy it.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten hours have passed.
Putting aside the losses from not being able to work during this period, the few days he spent in the sea have essentially wasted all his previous efforts, and the fish that had gathered there will definitely disperse.
Everything has to start all over again.
"Let's go, let's settle accounts with them."
Feng Ye gave a shout, turned around and went to the wheelhouse, preparing to steer the boat closer to the yacht.
Before he even went inside, he heard Xiao Zhaojun calling from the radio.
"Dong Sheng, Dong Sheng, please respond..."
He quickly ran a few steps and grabbed the walkie-talkie: "Dong Sheng received, Uncle Jun, please speak."
"Ah Ye, what happened over there? Why did the boat suddenly stop? Also, why did that yacht stop behind you? Did you crash into it?"
Xiao Zhaojun's voice sounded somewhat urgent.
Feng Ye gave a wry smile and briefly recounted what had just happened.
"What? The propeller got tangled in the tow rope? How could these guys be so careless!"
Xiao Zhaojun was also greatly surprised when he heard this.
"A bunch of rich kids who know nothing. Otherwise, anyone with even a little knowledge wouldn't approach a fishing boat that's at work, let alone walk past it from behind."
"Perhaps. You've lost a tow rope; are you going to go ashore to buy one?"
"That's for sure, they don't sell this stuff on the fresh seafood ships."
"Well, in that case, what about the cargo on your ship? The cargo ship just contacted me and said it will be here soon."
"Then I'm sorry. We're going to dock anyway, so it's more profitable to keep them and sell them when we get there."
"I understand, I'll let the fish collection ship know."
Xiao Zhaojun was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you need me to come over?"
"No need, we can handle it. We'll contact you again if it really doesn't work."
"Okay, I'll be trawling nearby. Call me if you need anything."
"OK……"
Just as Feng Ye was about to end the call, he suddenly thought that since they were going to dock anyway, why not take the cargo from the Harvest Ship with them and sell it?
If they sell more, he can get a bigger share.
As for the increased diesel consumption due to the increased load, that's not a big deal at all.
The only problem is that the fish hold doesn't have enough space to hold that much cargo.
However, there is a solution; at worst, we can just waste a little more ice.
As for how to explain it to the cargo ship, that was naturally up to Xiao Zhaojun and not within his consideration.
Thinking of this, he quickly said, "Uncle Jun, wait a moment."
"What's wrong, A-Ye? Is there something else?"
"Tell the cargo ships not to come over. I'll take the goods from the Harvest Ship ashore to sell."
"Ah, this..."
Xiao Zhaojun hesitated for a moment, "That's fine, we can make more money this way. But are you sure you can fit it all in?"
"We can squeeze some fish into the hold, and put the rest in other compartments or on the deck. With more ice to cool them down, there shouldn't be any problem."
"Alright, I'll have the boatmen haul in the nets now."
"Alright, Uncle Jun, then please make the arrangements quickly."
