Chapter 917: It's Not that the Bigger the Speedboat, the Bigger the Money.
"Zhao Dahai is really that good at fishing?"
Ma Zhizhen has heard so many things related to Zhao Dahai recently.
"snort!"
"Can such a thing be faked?"
"Shi Jiehua's sea fishing boat costs 200,000 yuan and each fishing spot is fully booked. The key is that those who gambled such a large amount of money came back from the sea and each made a lot of money. I don’t know how many eight hundred thousand there are.”
"Can someone with no skills do such a thing?"
"Even if you think you don't believe this without seeing it with your own eyes, are the owl fish caught by the people on Zhao Dahai's speedboat at this time fake?"
"Dry!"
"There are either four or five fish in a string, all weighing thirty or forty pounds of squid. This head is a little bigger than what we caught."
"In just a few hours, we caught no less than two thousand kilograms of catfish."
"How much did you catch? Do you have any that weigh 500 kilograms?"
Dong Kaiming lowered his head and looked at the fish in the living water tank at his feet.
To be fair, being able to catch a five-hundred-jin catfish is considered very good. This trip to the sea will definitely make a lot of money, but it is not even a little bit worse than Zhao Dahai's speedboat opposite.
There are indeed only two of us, Ma Zhizhen, but we have been here since nine o'clock in the morning and have been fishing until this time.
At the same time, Zhao Dahai and the people on his speedboat estimated that they had caught five to six thousand kilograms of catfish.
"Why don't we use a five-piece string hook? Wouldn't it make fishing faster?"
Ma Zhizhen saw that Zhao Dahai's speedboat used five string hooks.
"A five-piece skewer?"
"Why don't you use it if you want to?"
Dong Kaiming slapped the pole in front of him hard.
Who doesn’t know that a five-piece string hook has the opportunity to catch more fish?
But the crux of the problem is that using five string hooks can easily get tangled.
As early as an hour ago, including the last time I came here to fish for catfish, I had already tried five string hooks. Instead of increasing the number of fish caught, it became more troublesome.
Zhao Dahai and his speedboat can use five skewers, but it does not mean that he can use five skewers.
Ma Zhizhen sighed. This matter really cannot be said. Zhao Dahai and the people on his speedboat had no problem using five string hooks. On the contrary, they were able to catch more fish, but he and the others on the speedboat had no problem at all. Dong Kaiming tried it, but there was really nothing he could do.
"Dong Kaiming."
"It's getting late now! What should we do?"
Ma Zhizhen pointed to the distant horizon. The sun was already setting in the west, and it would not take long before it would fall into the deep sea.
At this time, the sky is red and the sunset is very beautiful, but for people like me and Dong Kaiming who go fishing so far away from artificial islands and reefs, this is not good news.
"What else can we do? Hurry up and catch a few more rods before we have to go back."
Dong Kaiming was very helpless.
There are fish at this point where my speedboat is fishing. I caught about 500 kilograms of catfish in one day. If I continue fishing, I can catch a lot more. And judging from the current situation, the more fish here come at night. The more you speak, the fiercer it becomes.
It's a pity that my speedboat is relatively small, so I can't spend the night in a place like this.
The way back is quite far. If we fish for another half hour or so, we have to drive back by speedboat, otherwise it will be very dangerous.
Dong Kaiming and Ma Zhizhen fished for half an hour, and the sky began to slowly darken. They knew they had to go back. There were fish in the sea, and they were getting better and better as they fished, but they could only put away the poles and tidy up. , go back immediately.
Dong Kaiming drove his speedboat less than five meters away from Zhao Dahai's speedboat. He looked at the fish piled on the deck and had no time to throw them into the living cabin or the refrigerator. His face was tense and very ugly.
"Huh!"
"Is it possible that Zhao Dahai and his speedboat will always fish here?"
Ma Zhizhen lit the cigarette in his mouth, took a long puff, and turned around to look at Zhao Dahai's speedboat. The lights were on and everyone was fishing non-stop, with no intention of leaving. .
Dong Kaiming was stunned for a moment, and when he thought about it carefully, it was probably like this.
"Dry!"
"Zhao Dahai and the others must have been fishing until tomorrow morning!"
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to come here to fish at three or four o'clock in the afternoon!"
The more Dong Kaiming thought about it, the more he realized that Ma Zhizhen was right. Zhao Dahai's speedboat must have been fishing here until tomorrow.
Zhao Dahai's speedboat is very big. It doesn't matter if he spends the night in a place like this. It is very safe. Even if the weather suddenly changes, he can still make it back.
If Zhao Dahai's speedboat had not planned to fish here all night, it would not have arrived here in the afternoon. It must have arrived early in the morning. If the other one hadn't fished all night, he would have to leave at this time and return to the pier.
Dong Kaiming's face became increasingly ugly.
Zhao Dahai's speedboat has caught so many fish in a few hours of fishing. If he keeps fishing until tomorrow morning, it will be a big deal.
Anyone with fishing experience knows very well that it is easier to catch fish at night or in the early morning before dawn.
"Dong Kaiming."
"Why don't you buy a big speedboat?"
"Fishing here is safe, but the key is to be able to stay overnight. Doesn't this mean you can catch more fish and make more money?"
Ma Zhizhen couldn't help but look back at Zhao Dahai's speedboat, which was almost out of sight.
"well!"
"Do you know how much this speedboat from Zhao Dahai costs? It's over one million!"
"Who can say that such a large amount of money is just money?"
"Not to mention whether you have it or not, even if you really have the money, would you spend it to buy a speedboat like this?"
"We go fishing to make money. If we want to make money, we have to calculate the costs and risks."
"Zhao Dahai has caught so many fish that he doesn't even need to worry about buying a speedboat worth one million or a speedboat worth two million."
"Where's ours?"
"How much money did you and I make from the fish we caught last year?"
"If you sell everything, it won't exceed 300,000 yuan. Apart from eating, drinking, eating, drinking, and all kinds of things, I only have 60,000 to 70,000 yuan left in my hands, which is already good!"
"With one million speedboats, it will take more than ten years to earn back the money for the speedboats."
"Even if the speedboat is bigger, runs faster, and makes more money by running farther, it still has to take seven or eight years, right?"
"No matter how short the time is, it will take five years to earn back the money to buy the speedboat, right?"
"Then it's time to make money, but I really don't know if I can make money or how much money I can make."
Dong Kaiming let out a long sigh.
Everyone knows that bigger speedboats are better, they can run faster and further, and they can even spend the night in places like artificial islands and reefs to have the chance to catch more fish.
The problem is that you have to spend money to buy a speedboat first, and I don’t know if you can make money.
Dong Kaiming told Ma Zhizhen that if he wanted to go fishing on the artificial island, especially if he wanted to stay overnight, he would have to buy a speedboat worth at least 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. People who go fishing at sea know that big fishing boats and big speedboats have a great chance of making more money, but just by having the chance, can they really make money? Really? Hard to say.
"What the hell!"
"If you think about it this way, wouldn't it mean that nothing can be done? Where can I buy a big speedboat?"
Ma Zhizhen laughed and cursed.
"snort!"
"If it is true that the bigger the speedboat is, the more money you can make, why don't you pay for one? Do you have to go fishing with my speedboat and pay for the fishing position?"
Dong Kaiming cursed back.
Everyone knows that it is more convenient to have their own speedboat. Some people even book fishing spots on their own speedboats and can safely charge the fishing spot fee regardless of whether they can catch fish or not.
But why do so many people still not buy speedboats?
Can't afford it?
If you can really make money steadily, you can even borrow this little money.
The problem is that buying a speedboat may not necessarily allow you to catch more fish and make more money.
Have you ever seen someone buy a speedboat and be able to catch more fish and make more money?
That's just someone else, not yourself.
Ma Zhizhen opened his mouth. He wanted to refute but didn't know what to say. It's really not that easy to make money buying a speedboat. As Dong Kaiming said, if it were so easy to make money, he would have bought one already. , it is impossible to pay for fishing spots on Dong Kaiming's or someone else's speedboat every time you go out to sea.
Dong Kaiming looked back and saw that the artificial islands had completely darkened. Zhao Dahai's speedboat had long been out of sight. He was very depressed. He pumped hard and the speed of the speedboat suddenly increased.
Who doesn’t want to buy a big speedboat?
The problem is that you can’t afford it or you can afford it but you don’t dare to buy it.
Artificial islands and reefs.
eight pm.
Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou squatted on the deck. Each of them held a large bowl of rice in their hands. There were two pots in the middle. One pot was filled with cooked fish soup, and the other pot was filled with large pieces of rice. Chunks of pork belly stir-fried with garlic sprouts.
"After two pieces of pork belly, I feel full immediately. I have enough energy to work!"
Zhong Shizhu patted his stomach. He didn't eat much, so he ate two pieces of pork belly as big as the palm of his hand. He didn't have dinner at first, and he was very hungry until now, but he felt full all of a sudden.
"For those who specialize in going to sea, other dishes are fake. They are just satisfying and not filling at all. Only this pork belly is the real good thing."
Liu Bin picked up the second piece of pork belly, and his mouth was filled with oil. Meat like this is the most fragrant when going to sea.
"Who cares whether it tastes good or not?"
“We go out to sea to fish and we go out to sea to work!”
"Speaking of which, everything tastes delicious when you're hungry. This pork belly is really the most delicious thing in the world."
“After two pieces, I won’t be able to eat anymore!”
Lei Dayou burped, and his mouth was filled with the taste of pork belly. He picked up a bowl of soup and took a few big gulps.
The fish used in the soup is black sea bream caught during the day.
I left a dozen of them on the speedboat just to make a pot of soup for dinner.
Although the catfish just caught is valuable, it is really not as good as the fat and big black sea bream when used in soup.
"Uncle Shizhu."
"The stingray caught must be about four thousand pounds, right?"
Zhao Dahai looked at Zhong Shizhu while eating.
"There must be four thousand kilograms, maybe it's already four thousand five hundred kilograms!"
Zhong Shizhu nodded and immediately frowned.
"Zhao Dahai."
“There aren’t many owl fish here, are there?”
Zhong Shizhu looked at Zhao Dahai. He and his team rushed here and started fishing immediately. The fish caught at the beginning were very big and their mouths were very fierce. As soon as they reached the water layer, they immediately bit the hook. The pull up is small, and if there are more than three strings, it will be full of five strings.
The bites were more ferocious at five or six o'clock, but after seven o'clock, especially close to eight o'clock, the fish bites suddenly became very few.
Zhao Dahai saw this situation and simply stopped fishing and cooking.
Liu Bin and Lei Dayou didn't pay much attention to this matter. When Zhong Shizhu said this, they immediately turned to look at Zhao Dahai, very worried.
It doesn't matter if it's just the fish that doesn't speak.
If you don't open your mouth today, you will open your mouth tomorrow, or when these people come here next time, they will encounter a school of fish opening their mouths, or even if the fish on the bottom of the sea don't open their mouths, Zhao Dahai can find a way to catch these fish, but if it really is There are relatively few fish. Zhao Dahai said before that there are not too many fish at this point, which is a troublesome thing.
Zhao Dahai swallowed a piece of pork belly, looked at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou, and nodded.
"No way?"
"We just came here and the two fish we caught didn't add up to 10,000 kilograms, right? Why aren't there that many fish left?"
…
"Why!"
"Zhao Dahai."
"You're right, we just need to seize the time and catch more fish!"
…
"Is it possible that we have to go to Grouper tomorrow?"
…
When Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou saw Zhao Dahai nodding, they knew that the school of fish under the speedboat had indeed become smaller. It was not just that they didn't speak, so there was nothing they could do.
"How can we keep fishing like this?"
"No matter how you say it, this is the open sea, not the deep sea. The key is that this is an artificial island. Although there are many fish, these fish are relatively scattered. It is very good to be able to get so many dolphins at one point. "
Zhao Dahai smiled.
The real deep-sea fishing spots are very huge. The fishing spots that I and Shi Jiehua's sea fishing boat visited some time ago were very large and wide, and I could catch a lot of fish non-stop.
There are indeed fish on the artificial islands and reefs only in the outer sea, but the spots are very scattered. People like myself and Zhong Shizhu came here twice to fish, and it was very rare to catch a few thousand kilograms of catfish.
Zhao Dahai told Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da to take a rest after eating for a while, and then try to see if they could catch the catfish. If they really didn't ask for much, they would change places.
