Wu An slapped his face hard.
Want to take a break?
What a load of rubbish!
We definitely need to go to sea!
He quickly called Mr. Zhao, the owner of the fishing tackle shop.
Mr. Zhao had already gone to bed, but he was half asleep when his phone rang. He answered, "Hello."
He was woken up from my nap and his attitude wasn't very good.
Wu An said, "Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry to have disturbed your sleep."
"Yes, there is such a thing."
Do you still have casting nets, longline fishing gear, or similar equipment in your shop?
Boss Zhao regained some of his senses.
"Are you in a hurry?"
"Yes, I want it now."
"Well... we do have some fish traps in the shop, but no longline fishing. We have two sets of casting nets, and oh, we have gillnets, about 500 meters long."
Wu An said, "Then I'll come to your shop to pick it up later."
"You want both?"
"right."
After hanging up the phone, he went to the market with Gao Qiangqi and Lao Fang.
Old Fu and the others didn't leave; they stayed to clean the fishing boat.
I arrived at the office.
Wu An didn't stand on ceremony at all, picked up the tea leaves and brewed a pot of strong tea.
Gao Qiangqi saw this and said, "You're still drinking tea at this hour? I'll settle the bill right away, and then you can go and rest."
Wu An shook his head: "Sleep my ass."
"I'm not going to sleep, we're going out to sea later."
Gao Qiangqi paused, and A Jin, who was helping to make tea, looked up in disbelief.
"Going out to sea again?"
"Um."
"I've set more than a dozen fish traps that are still in the sea," Wu An said casually. "If I hadn't caught so many fish that I couldn't put them all in, I wouldn't have planned to come back."
Ah Jin laughed and said, "Brother An, that must have been quite a journey for you, taking several hours, right?"
"That's right, it takes more than five hours to go there and back."
"I lost the money for five hours."
"Sigh, the boat is too small, there's nothing we can do."
Gao Qiangqi said, "Didn't you buy a satellite phone? Next time this happens, just contact me and I'll arrange a fishing boat to pick you up."
Wu An was taken aback and said, "Is that even possible?"
Gao Qiangqi said, "Nonsense."
"Otherwise, what do you think those large fishing boats do when they're at sea for ten days, half a month, or even several months?"
"However, your fishing boat is so small, you've never used a fishing boat to pick up cargo before."
Wu An said, "That's fine too."
"Then what about the cost..."
Gao Qiangqi laughed and said, "Of course I'll take responsibility."
Wu An nodded.
We're all so familiar with each other, there's no need to say some things. Saying them would seem too formal. Gao Qiangqi is a businessman; he's not going to let himself be taken advantage of.
"Two rat spots, five tiger spots, blue spots..."
The rock bream, grouper, pomfret, sea bass, yellowfin tuna, and spring bream were all weighed. Gao Qiangqi gave him the list, and Wu An also perked up and checked each item.
“After removing the pomfret you want to keep, it will be exactly 2400 jin. According to the market price, it is about 120 yuan per jin. This is the purchase price.”
"However, I'll charge you 130 per jin for these."
"Here's the thing, I just made a call. Pomfret is in high demand. This quantity doesn't need to be wholesaled or distributed; it can be sold directly through retail channels. Prices vary, but on average, it will sell for about 145."
By reselling it like this, after deducting transportation costs, Gao Qiangqi can make a lot of money, which is also stated openly.
Wu An thanked him.
To put it bluntly.
Whether sold at wholesale or retail price, Gao Qiangqi's earnings are basically the same, but if sold at retail price, Wu An can earn much more money.
He received real benefits.
He can figure this out clearly.
He had no other thoughts in his mind; he was simply happy.
The income from pomfret fighting alone exceeded 300,000.
What else is there to think about?
I'm so happy.
Old Fang said with a smile, "Ah An, your luck is simply unparalleled."
"I heard from Boss Gao that you ordered a trawler?"
Wu An nodded.
"With your luck, you should definitely invest." Old Fang paused, then laughed; "How about I get a chance to invest?"
Wu An smiled but didn't reply.
Gao Qiangqi laughed and scolded, "Old Fang, if you had the chance, would it be your turn to speak?"
Old Fang smiled and then fell silent.
Judging by Wu An's luck, investing in trawler boats is a sure way to make a profit.
It's understandable that he's envious.
Wu An was unwilling, and he understood.
soon.
The bill came out, and the total was 390,000 yuan, which Gao Qiangqi rounded up to.
This doesn't even include the cost of the giant grouper.
Wu An stood up and said, "Brother Qiang, let's leave the money for now. We'll go out to sea later and settle the bill next time."
They came out of the market.
We arrived at the dock.
Everyone had just finished cleaning the fishing boat, and they all looked quite disheveled, sitting and smoking while yawning constantly.
As Wu An boarded the boat, everyone turned to look at him.
390,000.
"This doesn't even include the cost of the giant grouper."
"Aqing received 40,000; the extra money was a bonus."
"Old Fu, 20,000."
"Big brother, Brother Wu, you're the same."
Seeing that Mei Wu and his elder brother were about to speak, Wu An waved his hand to interrupt them and said, "This money isn't so easy to get. I hereby declare that we will continue our voyage at sea later."
Everyone was stunned.
Old Fu was taken aback for a moment, but then smiled and said, "I think it's a good idea. Such good fortune shouldn't be allowed to run out."
What's so special about that?
However, it's just working non-stop on the ship, which is actually the norm.
Wu Ping stroked his stubble and said, "Your sister-in-law has cooked dinner and is waiting at home."
Wu An: "Make a phone call back."
Wu Ping remained silent.
He rubbed his lower back and lit another cigarette.
Old Fu contacted the gas station.
Wu An went to find Boss Zhao to get the tools.
Three rows of ground cages, two sets of casting nets, and 500 meters of three-layer sticky nets. To his surprise, the sticky nets could actually add 50 points to his luck, and 100 meters of sticky nets could add 10 points.
It's much better than longline fishing.
That makes sense when you think about it.
The efficiency of catching seafood with gillnets is definitely much better than that of longline fishing with a few hooks.
If you can land a few sticky nets, you can easily use up all your luck points.
Wu An is very confident about this.
Moreover, using a net is more like longline fishing, so you don't have to be so diligent in catching it.
Place the net down and lift it up every half day.
Everyone is exhausted. Once the netting on the cash register is lowered, everyone will have a chance to rest.
Wu Ping and Mei Wu weren't idle either. They rushed to the supermarket at the dock and bought a bunch of food and drinks. The food was alright; they could just eat seafood three times a day. But seawater was undrinkable.
Fresh water is essential on a ship.
They each called home again. The sister-in-law had something to say about them continuing to go out to sea, but when she learned that they had earned nearly 400,000 yuan that day, she fell silent.
It's hard work, and sailing at night is risky, but with so much money to be made, what more can you ask for?
All I could do was keep reminding them not to overwork themselves.
An hour later, the fishing boat slowly sailed away from the dock with a rumbling sound.
The wind and waves are calm.
Sleeping on the boat is actually quite comfortable.
It was wobbling, almost like being in a cradle.
Except for Old Fu, everyone else was extremely tired and fell into a deep sleep in the boat awning.
Old Fu said he could still manage, but he dared not stop smoking.
