On the way home, Chen Zhiyao lay on the deck at the stern, feeling the sea breeze and thinking about the past month.

After leaving her job at the end of October, she returned to the village on November 10st. In a blink of an eye, she has been home for almost a month and a half.

At first, she just went to the beach and rocky beach in the village to catch seafood.

The harvest was actually quite good, but the resources in the village were limited and the competition was fierce. So they turned their attention to the islands outside.

Then she rented her current boat and went out to the nearby islands to go fishing.

The marine resources outside have indeed become much richer, and income has also increased sharply.

Time flies, a month has passed, and now there is only one day left to rent the ship, tomorrow.

Including the money she earned in the past few days, she now has a savings of 20 yuan, and buying a boat is on the agenda.

After thinking it over, she still felt that the current boat was pretty good and could probably be bought for tens of thousands of dollars.

And she was used to it. Although it was a little old and consumed more fuel, there had never been any problems.

Although she had 20 yuan in her hand, she was really reluctant to spend all the money to buy a new boat.

If you buy an old boat, it will be no different from the current boat, or even more expensive.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the current boat was good and it would be appropriate to buy it as a transition.

If you spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy it and use it for two or three years, you can sell it and get 2 yuan back.

It only costs 1 yuan a year, which is much more cost-effective than renting a boat, and there is also less pressure.

In two years, when she has more money, she will consider buying a bigger boat.

Chen Zhiyao is essentially a Buddhist person. She has a golden finger anyway, so she doesn't have to worry about not making money. There is no need for her to work too hard.

I bought a boat that was neither too big nor too small, and usually wandered around the nearby islands. I occasionally went deep-sea fishing for tuna, and I could eat meals cooked by my mother every day. Life was comfortable and free.

Chen Zhiyao is quite satisfied with her current life and there is no need for her to be complacent anymore.

After understanding, she immediately sent several voice messages to her mother.

The general meaning was that she wanted to buy the boat she was renting now, and asked her to ask Aunt Hehua how much it would cost.

In less than two minutes, my mother sent me a message back:

"Your fishing boat can still be operated for another day tomorrow, and you will go to Guangzhou for fun later, so there is no rush to buy a boat."

"Your lease term hasn't even expired yet. If people know that you're in a hurry to buy a boat, the price will definitely go up. It's better to wait until you come back from Guangzhou."

"They have used this boat for more than seven years, and most people won't buy it. Leave it alone for a few days, and Lotus will come to ask about it. Then the price will be easier to negotiate."

Chen Zhiyao felt that what her mother said made sense. She was quite tired from going out to sea every day recently. It was a good opportunity to take a few more days off and talk about buying a boat later.

Yan Shuting and Chen Weiqiang had always looked down upon Aunt Hehua's old boat, thinking it was too old and would not last for many years.

However, after asking around, I found that new boats are quite expensive. If I spend tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a new boat, it would be not cost-effective.

Going to the sea depends on luck, the resources of the sea, and even more on policies. I don't know what will happen in the future.

If you spend a lot of money to buy a boat and then fail to catch fish, you will lose a lot of money. It is better to buy a cheap old boat.

Chen Zhiyao chatted with her mother for a few words and then handed over the matter of buying the boat to her.

She just waited for payment and the boat to be collected.

When I got home, my mother and grandmother had already prepared a sumptuous dinner waiting for me.

Even Ah Huang was quite enthusiastic and threw himself at Chen Zhiyao as soon as he entered the door.

During dinner, Chen Zhiyao and Chen Weiqiang never stopped talking, and the table was very lively.

Just after dinner, Chen Weiqiang called his family over and said he wanted to hold a family meeting.

"What's going on? It's so mysterious."

In Chen Zhiyao's impression, family meetings were held very few times.

Chen Weiqiang cleared his throat and said:

"I went fishing with Tangtang a few times and the catch was pretty good. I was thinking of hiring someone to look after the store."

"What about you? You go fishing, but you don't care about the fishing tackle shop?" Yan Shuting reacted strongly. She felt that this man was not doing his job properly.

Grandma Chen standing by also looked disapproving, thinking that it was more important to have a stable job.

Grandpa Chen was silent. He knew how much money he could make by going fishing with his granddaughter these days.

But with this kind of thing, no one can say for sure whether or not there will be nothing to gain next time.

The fishing tackle shop is doing pretty well now, with a profit of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan every month, which is considered pretty good in this small county.

The old man actually didn't want his son to take this risk.

Seeing that everyone was overthinking, Chen Weiqiang quickly explained:

"I'm not ignoring it, I'm just hiring one more person to help. Besides, what boss doesn't have employees and does everything himself?"

"I just want to find someone to stay in the store regularly, but I will definitely do the goods and weekly inventory myself, which will definitely not affect the store's business."

"In addition to managing the fishing tackle shop, I usually go fishing with Tangtang and the others. Occasionally, I can also set up a stall at the breakwater to sell fishing tackle."

After this explanation, everyone understood and decided to just hire one more employee to help look after the store.

This is not a big deal. If he still comes back empty-handed every day, the worst that can happen is that he can go back to being the owner of his fishing tackle shop.

Seeing that no one objected, Chen Weiqiang added with a smile:

"This will not only not affect the business of the fishing tackle shop, but also allow us to make extra money. How great is that."

Chen Weiqiang arranged everything well, Yan Shuting didn't say anything, just reminded:

"You can decide on your own when it comes to recruiting people, but you have to find someone who is honest."

Chen Weiqiang continued with a smile: "I already have a candidate."

In fact, not all the people in the fishing group are second-generation rich. Most of them still have to work to earn money.

The store is usually busy with people coming and going, and he knows that several people are looking for jobs now.

One of them had worked in a fishing tackle shop before, and after a few days of training he was able to get started right away.

When he came out of the acquisition station, he was thinking about this matter. He had already contacted this person on the way and he could come to work at any time.

So it was agreed that they would hire one more person to help look after the store, and Chen Weiqiang would go fishing with his daughter.

Chen Zhiyao not only had no objection, she was also very happy. This way, there would be one more person to share the daily fuel expenses with her.

And her father can also help her earn points.

After talking about the fishing tackle store, Chen Zhiyao also brought up the matter of buying a fishing boat.

Previously, Chen Zhiyao planned to buy the boat with her own money.

But now they have agreed that the three of them will go out to sea together in the future, and Chen Weiqiang thinks the money should be shared equally by the grandfather and grandson.

So the budget tripled at once, and each person could pay tens of thousands of yuan to buy a 12-meter small or medium-sized fiberglass fishing boat.

This way, the range of choices becomes wider.

"Although this fishing boat is cheap now, it is too old. The cost of repairing it later will be very high, and it can't go to the ocean."

Chen Weiqiang suggested that his daughter should look around and go for it directly, preferably buying a 12.8-meter fiberglass fishing boat.

Chen Zhiyao didn’t actually know much about fishing boats and was too lazy to think about it, so she just left the matter to her parents to decide, and she would be responsible for paying the money when the time came.
