After breakfast, Ah-chan and the three boatmen went to sleep.
Feng Ye and the other three went down into the fish hold and continued working.
There's no need to go offline; just stay put.
There are so many bomb fish waiting to be dealt with in the fish hold and on the deck. I don't know when we'll be able to finish.
The more excited we were when we were closing the net, the more miserable we are now.
There are just too many; it's enough to make your scalp tingle.
Feng Ye sighed. He really didn't want to do it, but he had no choice but to put on the gloves.
Making money is tough!
Before they had been working for long, the roar of an engine suddenly came from outside the fish hold.
Feng Ye climbed onto the fish hold opening, poked his head out, and saw that the Dong Sheng and Feng Shou ships were coming this way.
He simply went up to the deck and waited for them to approach.
Both ships had decks piled high with bombfish, but no crew members were seen working.
Presumably, like them, when there wasn't enough room on the deck, they dumped everything into the fish hold, and the crew members were all inside the fish hold.
A short while later, the Harvest was the first to approach.
The gunwales bumped against each other slightly, causing the boat to rock a few times.
Xiao Zhaojun got out of the driver's seat and laughed loudly, praising, "Ah Ye, you're really amazing, hahaha..."
"Uncle Jun, why are you suddenly praising me all of a sudden?"
Feng Ye was somewhat confused.
Xiao Zhaojun pointed to the fish on the nail plate: "This net can't even fit all the fish on the cargo deck, and we had to dump a lot into the fish hold. It must weigh at least 40,000 jin."
Moreover, there are a lot of tuna in here.
"This is all thanks to you. Without your guidance, we wouldn't have achieved such a great result!"
"We're all out fishing together, so helping each other out is only right. Besides, if the Harvest Fishing Ship makes more money, won't we get a bigger share too?"
Feng Ye smiled and asked again, "How many tuna did you catch?"
Xiao Zhaojun raised his eyebrows smugly: "Hehe, there are 42 in total, big and small."
"That's quite a lot!"
Feng Ye couldn't help but admire it after hearing it.
He turned to look at the approaching Dong Sheng, guessing that the harvest wouldn't be small either.
"It's alright. I estimate the total weight to be around 3,000 jin (1,500 catties), so it should fetch a good price."
Xiao Zhaojun's face was full of joy as he rubbed his hands together. "And you, how many tuna did you catch this time?"
"A little more than you, 55, weighing around 4,000 jin."
Wow, so many?
"It's alright. After all, we chose a route that is in the area with the densest fish population, so it's normal to have a few more."
“That’s right. With the fish finder on your ship, you’ll definitely be able to find the best operating route.”
Xiao Zhaojun looked envious. "Looks like I should also consider installing a fish finder?"
"Fish probes aren't cheap, are you willing to spend the money?"
Feng Ye really wanted to say that there was no need to waste this money.
When everyone is fishing together, one fish finder is enough.
Having discovered the school of fish, how could we possibly forget about it?
However, considering that even without finding a large school of fish, the fish finder could still significantly boost the catch, I didn't rule out any possibility of a complete loss.
"It's definitely not cheap."
Xiao Zhaojun clicked his tongue, a look of hesitation on his face.
"However, if you encounter a large school of fish once or twice, you can almost make your money back, so it's still worth considering."
He looked up at Feng Ye and asked, "Ah Ye, if I'm faking it, do you have any objections?"
Feng Ye shook his head and said, "What opinions could we possibly have? Whether you pretend or not is up to you. It's your decision."
Anyway, they don't have to pay out any money at the last minute.
Because there was still a large outstanding payment for the new ship they were jointly investing in with Xiao Zhaojun, the profits from the fish sales of the Harvest Ship would not be distributed as dividends for the time being.
Currently, a considerable amount of money has been accumulated, which can be used.
This money was all kept by Xiao Zhaojun.
"Okay, I'll go to the shipyard when I get back. I wonder how much it would cost to install a fish finder alone."
Xiao Zhaojun seemed to have made up his mind.
Their new ship, which they jointly owned, was also equipped with a fish finder.
However, the price will definitely be different depending on whether the shipment is loaded together or separately when ordering the ship.
It's like a car, with a parts-to-whole ratio.
If calculated based on the price of the parts, the total price could buy several complete vehicles.
The same principle applies to fish finders; the price of installing one separately is definitely much higher than the price included when ordering the boat.
While pondering this, Xiao Zhaojun chatted with Feng Ye about other things: "By the way, I just talked to A-Xuan online. We're going to sell this batch of fish at the port, not to the fish-collecting boats."
"Yes, with so many tuna, it's definitely worth bringing them ashore to sell."
Feng Ye said, "Moreover, with so much cargo on this trip, even if the bomb fish are cheap, we can still make a lot more money."
"Yes, if you sell it ashore, the price will be much higher than if you sell it to a cargo ship."
Xiao Zhaojun nodded, "It will take ten or twenty hours, and going back and forth is too much of a waste of time."
"Although it takes a long time, the extra profits are worth it. Besides, selling on shore allows us to replenish our supplies at the same time, which saves a lot of money compared to resupplying from the fish-collecting boats. It's a win-win situation."
“That makes sense. Then let’s set off immediately and reach the shore before evening.”
Feng Ye thought for a moment and then said, "I won't go. I'll stay here and continue fishing. You and my brother can go ashore to sell the fish, and all the cargo on this boat can be transferred to your two boats."
"But this would take up a lot of time for sorting and transporting, so we originally planned to sort the cargo on the way back."
"If you're in a hurry, then let's set off first. Anyway, the Dong Sheng can barely hold all these fish. We'll transfer them all to the Dong Sheng and let my brother take them back."
