Ye Haishan was also shocked. "Wow, such a big fish, is it worth a lot of money?"
"I estimate it should be around 900 jin (450 catties), but we'll have to weigh it to know its exact weight."
Feng Ye smiled and lowered his voice, "President Qin said to give me a dollar."
The two were surprised again.
Ye Haishan, even more incredulous, asked again, "How much?"
"This big bluefin bream is very fat. President Qin wants to get it auctioned off to the Japanese. It's estimated that it could fetch an astronomical price. The price is a lot, but it's still a normal price."
Feng Ye didn't mention the subsequent profit sharing; otherwise, the two of them would have been absolutely stunned.
"Yes, I've also heard that the Japanese love to eat this. Bluefin tuna is ridiculously expensive there."
Feng Jiaqing nodded and then asked, "Was this thing caught by fishing?"
"Of course. That fish was incredibly strong; it took more than three hours to pull it out of the water. I was exhausted, but thankfully there were many people on the yacht, and Mr. Qin and the others helped out, otherwise we might not have been able to get it up."
Ye Haishan exclaimed, "I didn't believe it when my father-in-law told me you were lucky, but I never imagined it was this good. It would take me more than ten years to earn this much from just this one fish."
Feng Jiaqing nodded in agreement, his face full of pride: "Are there any others? Surely not just this one?"
"Of course not, there's plenty more good stuff. Let me take you to the fish hold."
Feng Ye led the two to the fish hold. As soon as the door opened, a blast of cold air hit them.
Both of them couldn't help but shudder.
Qin Aijun's yacht has a fish hold with a cooling function, and the temperature is so low that it makes your teeth chatter.
Feng Jiaqing waved his hand: "Forget it, we won't go in. Just tell us what we found."
Ye Haishan also said, "Yes, it's too cold. Ah Ye, just tell me briefly."
"Okay, besides the big bluefin tuna at the stern, I also caught two giant grouper, one about 300 jin and the other only about 40 jin; and a big horned bream, which weighed around 80 jin..."
Feng Ye recounted his fishing trip in great detail, "In addition, I also caught an oilfish and a batfish, but unfortunately neither of them were of value, so I had to release them."
The two were stunned.
Ye Haishan exclaimed, "You really made a fortune on this voyage!"
"Yes, I'm incredibly lucky."
"I really wish I had the chance to go fishing with them sometime."
Feng Jiaqing's eyes were full of envy, not for any other reason than to want to experience the joy of catching big fish.
Feng Ye chuckled, "That's easy. Once I buy the fishing boat, you can go fishing at sea whenever you want."
"Just because I praised you a couple of times, you're really getting cocky?"
Feng Jiaqing glared at him and said irritably, "Wouldn't it be better to buy a fishing boat with that money? Why buy a fishing dinghy? Can that thing be used for production, or for fishing?"
Although he didn't know what a fishing boat was, he knew from the name that it wasn't something used for serious business; it was definitely for playing around.
Although I've made a lot of money over the past year and I'm sure I'll make just as much in the future, I can't afford to be so wasteful.
For someone who has toiled for most of his life, he has never thought about enjoying life; that would be too extravagant.
Earning and saving money is the right thing to do; spending money on entertainment is not doing your job properly.
Ye Haishan chimed in, "That's right, we should spend our money wisely. Fishing boats are just for leisure; it's better to invest in fishing boats and make more money."
Feng Ye, however, didn't take it seriously: "Who says fishing boats can't be used for production? Look at this full hold of fish, it's more than a fishing boat can earn in a month at sea."
Imagine 20 or 30 years from now, fishing boats will be an important tool for recreational fishing, allowing people to enjoy the fun of fishing and bringing considerable economic benefits.
Taking people out to sea to fish can bring in a lot of money; each person can easily earn several thousand, or even tens of thousands.
He didn't intend to make that money; he just wanted to buy one for himself to play with.
Feng Jiaqing frowned: "This time it was just good luck. Who can guarantee that you can earn this much every time you go out to sea? Fishing boats are different. Although they don't earn as much, they are more stable and always have a good catch."
"Let's talk about it later."
Feng Ye didn't argue with his father. Anyway, buying a fishing boat was still several years away, so there was no rush.
He changed the subject and asked, "Is Ah Ling alright?"
"I'm doing great. My in-laws are helping to take care of me. I'm eating and sleeping well, so there's nothing to worry about. I'm just waiting for my due date in a few days."
"That's good."
Feng Ye then turned to Ye Haishan, "Dad, when did you arrive?"
“We arrived the afternoon you left, and your father came to town to pick you up.”
"Oh, I just left and you've already arrived. Why didn't you come a day earlier? I could have had a meal and chatted with you all."
Feng Ye said with some regret.
"We wanted to finish earlier, but we still had some chores to do at home, so we were delayed for a day or two..."
After chatting about family matters for a while, Feng Jiaqing interjected, asking, "Are you going home today? Or are you going back tomorrow?"
Feng Ye thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back. We can come back to settle the bill tomorrow."
He was going to sell all the fish he caught to Qin Aijun, and it didn't matter whether he settled the account a day earlier or later; he was quite at ease.
"Okay, then we'll wait a little longer. We also want to see the exact weight of the big fish you caught."
Not long after, Xiao Chen, who had gone to Jinghong to call for help, returned to the dock with Fatty Nie and several workers in a small truck, bringing with him a scale and a hand-operated hoist.
