Wu An put down his satellite phone, took a deep breath, and then held it in, trying to clear his blocked nose, almost suffocating himself.
It won't work.
My nose was completely blocked.
I reached up and touched my forehead. It felt okay; it was probably just a bad cold.
Just as I was about to get up.
Aqing came in from outside and, seeing that Wu An had woken up, greeted him, "Brother, you're finally awake."
Wu An nodded: "What time is it?"
Aqing: "It's almost eight o'clock."
What's wrong with your voice?
Feeling down?
Wu An: "I said that on purpose."
"oh."
You actually believe that?
Why don't you believe me?
"...I have a cold."
"Oh...ah? Brother, how are you feeling?"
"I feel good."
"oh."
"..."
Wu An stood up, too lazy to waste words, and asked A Qing to pack up the sleeping bag. He stepped out of the stone wall, and the sunlight shone on him, warm and pleasant, but Wu An did not feel any comfort at the moment.
Having a cold is really unpleasant.
When you're healthy, you don't realize how good health is, but when you get sick, you realize how wonderful a healthy body is.
The two returned to the ship.
Wu An asked Old Fu for the coordinates, and he was told that the thunderstorm had just passed by dawn, and such a long thunderstorm was quite rare.
Wu'an County called Yu Kailang back.
Aqing quickly urged that ginger tea be made. When Meiwu learned that Wu An had a cold, he went to get 999 Cold Medicine, mixed the cold medicine with the ginger tea, and drank it all at once.
You know what?
One nose is clear now.
Everyone busied themselves with preparations. Originally, breakfast was supposed to be seafood porridge, but Old Fu said that seafood is cooling in nature and it's best not to eat it if you have a cold, so they changed it to noodles instead.
While Wu An was drinking noodles, Fu Yongning led the Fan brothers to inspect all the fishing boats. There were no problems with the boats, and they were ready to start fishing at any time.
"I'm not going offline anymore." Wu An shook his head and told them about the phone call Yu Kailang had made.
After hearing this, everyone naturally had no objections.
Aqing was still very excited: "So Ma Weiqun is really doomed!"
Wu An nodded and said, "Go home at full speed."
"Let's hand over the work as soon as possible."
"We can go see a play too."
Ma Weiqun caused him so much trouble at sea, making him arguably the most troublesome opponent he's faced so far. His capture is certainly something to celebrate.
Not to mention, Ma Weiqun's arrest not only avenged him, but he also received a reward!
Killing two birds with one stone.
I must say, may Ma Weiqun rest in peace!
Old Fu quickly started the boat, bypassed the reefs near the island, adjusted the rudder, and headed at full speed towards the town's dock.
actually.
They are currently far from the shore. If they choose to dock directly now, it would probably take them about three hours to reach the shore.
But now they keep heading north, the same way they came, which is about 100 nautical miles away and will take at least seven hours to reach the town's dock.
Thankfully, the fishing boat wasn't fully loaded, otherwise it would have been even slower.
The income from this trip wasn't very good. The most valuable items were the anchovies, but not many, only about a thousand catties in total. The next most valuable items were the white pomfret, which weighed about five or six thousand catties.
This wasn't a trawling net; it was brought up by everyone casting nets.
As for anchovies and yellow croakers, there are quite a few, but these two types of fish are not expensive and don't sell for much. Other near-shore miscellaneous fish such as black sea bream, rockfish, and mullet also weigh several hundred kilograms, so there's not much to say about them.
Compared to previous trips, this three-day, two-night trip yielded the least catch, but everyone felt it was still worthwhile.
There are always some things more important than making money.
Listening to everyone discussing the catch, Wu An didn't say anything and kept drinking hot water.
Halfway there.
They encountered an approaching law enforcement vessel. After exchanging a few words with one of the vessels, someone consulted with their superiors, and ultimately, another law enforcement vessel was arranged to accompany them back.
It's clear that the authorities attach great importance to bionic fish.
noon.
Wu An felt that his cold symptoms had not improved much, so he had little appetite and just ate a bowl of rice.
Around 1 p.m., Wu An had just lain down when his phone suddenly started ringing incessantly.
Wu An stared blankly for a moment, then realized that his phone had a signal. He looked closely and saw that there were several calls, but they didn't seem to be urgent, so he only made one call.
There was a text message, a bank notification, showing a transfer of 4.34 million.
Wu An called Gao Qiangqi.
Gao Qiangqi answered quickly, his voice filled with surprise: "A'an, you're back this time?"
"Another margin call?"
What good stuff do you have?
Wu An said, "The reason I didn't experience a margin call this time is because I had to come back early for other reasons."
Gao Qiangqi asked in surprise, "What is it?"
Wu An hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not appropriate to tell you right now. I'll tell you in person when I get back."
Gao Qiangqi: "Do you need me to receive the goods?"
Wu An replied, "Of course we need that."
"However, you may not be able to cross the dock now."
Gao Qiangqi's voice instantly rose several decibels: "A'an, don't tell me that the dock was under martial law last night because of you?"
Wu An smiled and said, "It's because of me."
"..." Gao Qiangqi asked, "What is it?"
"It's hard to say at the moment."
"Okay... are you alright?"
"It's okay, it's a good thing for me."
"That's good."
I hung up the phone with Gao Qiangqi.
Wu An didn't hesitate and divided the accounts among everyone. Everyone was extremely excited when they received their share. A Qing ran over and asked, "Brother, what about the money from the last trip?"
Wu An nodded.
Aqing asked, "How come there are so many more than the first trip?"
Wu An didn't really know either. The last time they caught too much fish, Gao Qiangqi couldn't explain it clearly over the phone. He only said that the big yellow croaker sold for 800,000 yuan to a boss from Hong Kong.
Hearing that the large yellow croaker sells for so much money, Aqing muttered, "Spending so much money to buy a fish, even just one bite of the fish meat costs several hundred, they really spare no expense."
Wu An was too lazy to explain to the kid that the boss might buy a fish to eat and potentially create even greater value.
No boss is a fool to do business at a loss.
Everyone was surprised to hear that the large yellow croaker sold for so much money.
Aqing was overjoyed to receive 440,000 yuan. She said she would go back and order a car, a BMW, because she wouldn't lose out or be cheated.
Wu An also nodded in support.
To be honest, it's just a BMW, which Aqing can definitely afford now.
Old Fu and Mei Wu also received a considerable amount, totaling 220,000. Fu Yongning and the Fan brothers each received 50,000. This sum of money made everyone very happy.
As for earning a little less on this trip, it's not a big deal.
He's only been out to sea twice, earning around 80,000 each time. With this trip included, he'll probably make around 100,000.
Even after deducting the time they couldn't go out to sea, they made so much money in just over half a month. Before, they would never have dared to dream of such an unrealistic thing.
Wu An also explained the actual situation, saying that the extra money was considered a bonus.
There are no social insurances or housing fund benefits on this ship; everything you receive is real money.
The bonus is considered a benefit.
Wu An talked about things like social insurance and housing fund, but nobody cared. They didn't really understand the benefits of social insurance and housing fund. In their eyes, the money they actually received was the most tangible thing.
Everything else is meaningless.
That is indeed the case.
The five social insurances and one housing fund are certainly good for working people, but Fu Yongning said that as long as you earn a lot of money and can save it, you will have security when you get old.
At worst, I can just buy my own insurance.
What can Wu An say? He can only say that the working people have great wisdom.
