Sea-hunting system: I became rich by fishing at sea

Li Jiawang makes a living by fishing and has saved some money in the past few years.

In recent years, marine resources have not been good. Seeing that the money from going out to sea is not enough to cover the fuel costs, I thought about selling the fishing boat and retiring early.

Knowing that his daughter would be back today, Chen Weiqiang had already made an appointment with Li Jiawang, asking him to wait at home this afternoon so that he could come and see the boat.

As soon as he saw someone, Li Jiawang greeted him enthusiastically:

"Uncle Chen, you are here. The boat is at the dock. I will take you there right away."

As he said this, he took the key and enthusiastically led the group to the village pier.

Li Jiawang’s boat is a 12.8-meter fiberglass fishing boat. It has been used for about 5 years and still looks quite new.

This boat is much larger than the one Chen Zhiyao rented before. In addition to the kitchen and toilet, there are three small rooms.

There is a gas stove and a dining table in the kitchen, and each of the three small rooms has an iron bunk bed. Everything is pretty complete.

In addition, there are two live water tanks and a large ice tank on the boat, so it is no problem to load one or two thousand kilograms of fish.

Although you can't go to the open sea, there is no problem in going deep ocean to fish for yellowfin tuna.

The crane on the boat is larger than the one on the previous fishing boat. Although it looks old and worn out, it can still be used.

Chen Weiqiang has also tried the fish finder and it works fine too.

It can be said that this boat can be launched on the same day it is purchased.

After taking a few people around the boat, Li Jiawang got straight to the point and said:

"Everyone has seen this boat. It's only been used for five years, but it looks like a new one. Brother Weiqiang, if you're serious about buying it, I'll give it to you for 5 yuan."

Seeing that Chen Weiqiang wanted to bargain, Li Jiawang quickly added another sentence.

"18 is the reserve price. If it weren't for the two brats at home who don't want to come back to the big city, I would be reluctant to sell this boat."

Chen Weiqiang stepped forward, put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile:

"This boat is indeed good, but it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's not like buying vegetables. We have to go back and discuss it."

Buying a boat is indeed a big deal. Li Jiawang also expressed his understanding and still enthusiastically took several people off the boat.

After getting off the boat, Chen Zhiyao was actually quite satisfied with the boat. Li Jiawang was a particular person, and the boat was well maintained.

If you buy this 12.8-meter boat, you can go fishing in the sea at a farther place.

The islands I often visit are relatively close to the land and are visited by many people, but there aren’t actually many good things there.

Moreover, the nearby waters are too shallow, and the largest fish caught are only about ten to twenty kilograms.

If you go to a farther place, you can catch a big fish weighing dozens of kilograms. There are also three small rooms on the boat, which are perfect for rest.

Moreover, the boat is neither too big nor too small, just right for three people.

However, after comparing prices from three different stores, Chen Zhiyao hasn’t made a decision on this first ship she has seen yet, as there may be better ones later.

The group then came to Yanjia Village.

Yanjia Village also has a relatively large dock, with seven or eight large ships docked there.

The village chief’s boat is very grand, with 5 small rooms and a spacious living room.

There are three live fish warehouses and two freezer warehouses on the boat, all of which are very large, so going fishing in the open sea is not a problem at all.

Moreover, the boat was bought only three years ago and it looks like new. For such a big boat, 38 is not expensive.

However, the village chief was a little cautious and told people that 38 was the price of the bare boat only after they had finished the tour.

The boat's crane, small hoist, large fish finder, and other items on the boat cost 5 yuan.

Chen Weiqiang and Grandpa Chen immediately frowned.

The father and son originally thought that the boat was too big for three people to handle, and if they bought it they would have to hire other crew members.

A big boat consumes more fuel, so I was a little hesitant. If it weren’t for its cheap price, I probably wouldn’t have come to see it.

Now with the addition of the 5 yuan, the price of the boat becomes 43 yuan, which is far beyond the Chen family's budget.

Chen Weiqiang was just thinking about how to refuse when he received a call from the village chief.

After answering the phone, the village chief changed his mind and said that he would not sell the boat and his son planned to convert it into a fishing boat.

"This guy said he wanted to go fishing for bluefin tuna in the open sea. I heard that you guys are all experts in fishing. We can go out to sea together then."

The village chief is also a talented person. Seeing that the boat could not be sold, he helped his son to start a business.

Chen Zhiyao felt that the ship was too big and it would not be cost-effective to hire more crew members. It would be worse than the 12.8-meter ship just now.

Now that the village chief said he would not sell it, she felt relieved instead. When she heard that the boat was going to be converted into a fishing boat, she became interested.

It would be nice to go to the open sea for a few days and catch some bluefin tuna.

As soon as Chen Zhiyao raised the corner of her mouth, Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang knew what the little girl was thinking, but they also had the same idea.

Especially Chen Weiqiang. The grandfather and grandson had caught several yellowfin tuna before, which made him very envious. He was still thinking about going to the open sea to fish for tuna.

After leaving Yanjia Village, Chen Weiqiang drove his family to the shipyard.

In Chen Zhiyao's opinion, the 12.8-meter new ship is actually similar to the 18 second-hand ship mentioned earlier.

There are also three small rooms, plus a kitchen and a small toilet.

Even the live fish warehouse and freezer warehouse are the same size.

The bare boat costs 22 yuan. If we equip the boat with all the necessary equipment, it will probably cost around 25 yuan.

Chen Zhiyao thought it was a little expensive, but since it was a new boat, she thought it was pretty good.

On the way back, several people began to discuss the three ships they had just seen.

Chen Weiqiang said bluntly: "The 25-meter boat is not for sale. The best ones at the moment are Li Jiawang's boat and the new boat we just saw."

"If we bargain for Jiawang's boat, we can probably get it for 17. The new boat will cost 25 after it's all done. That's a difference of 8."

Although Grandpa Chen didn't say it explicitly, everyone could see that he preferred the old boat.

Grandma Chen also echoed, "Although Jiawang's boat has been used for several years, it has never had any problems. It can be one-third cheaper."

The old couple were used to being frugal, and they didn’t know their granddaughter had a golden finger, so they thought it would be better to be cautious.

What if your luck runs out and there are no more fish? You might as well save some money and buy a cheaper boat.

"But you don't know if there have been any problems with an old boat. It's not as comfortable and reliable as a new boat, and the total price of $25 is not expensive."

Although Chen Weiqiang's fishing tackle shop is not big, he is still a small boss and has some money.

Yan Shuting shares the same opinion as Chen Weiqiang and thinks the new ship is better.

The vote was tied at 2:2, so the decision-making power returned to Chen Zhiyao who was playing badly on the side.

"Don't look at me, I don't know."

Chen Zhiyao, who suffers from decision-making difficulties, refuses to make a choice.
