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

Chapter 459 Go it alone

Not only did Chen Zhiyao have a great harvest of fish, but Chen Feng's fishing boat also had a good harvest.

None of the fishermen on the boat came back empty-handed. They at least had several sea bass or sea wolves in their hands.

Chen Hu became the MVP on the boat. He not only caught a 13-jin big blue snapper, but also caught more than a dozen rock snappers weighing about one jin.

Not counting the wages on the boat, his income from fishing alone was 1500 yuan.

Having made a small profit, Chen Hu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth when he came out of the acquisition station. He grinned and muttered softly:

"Wow, I just fished for three hours and easily earned 1500 yuan. If I were to fish full-time, wouldn't I be rich?"

Thinking of this, he quickly fell into deep thought, seriously considering whether he should strike out on his own.

Since leaving his job, Chen Hu has been helping out on his own fishing boat for more than half a year.

During this period, in addition to doing odd jobs on the boat, he would also go fishing in his spare time.

It’s true, although he has no system and no lucky fishing rod, Chen Hu’s harvest has always been pretty good, and he can often catch big fish weighing ten to twenty kilograms.

He caught almost all the groupers available nearby, including blue grouper, pearl grouper, sesame grouper, suspension bridge grouper, and cloud grouper.

Together with the money he saved from his previous job, he now has more than 200,000 yuan saved.

I saw that my cousin made a living by fishing and catching fish, and not only bought a new fishing boat, but also bought a house.

Seeing Chen Zhiyao, the wealthy young woman, Chen Hu became eager to buy a fishing boat and start his own business.

After all, he can't always follow his elder brother around to help him all his life.

He went fishing while helping on the boat. It was okay for a short time, but if it went on for a long time, he would feel embarrassed even if his eldest brother had any objections.

A real man should build his own career, Chen Hu secretly encouraged himself.

Our own fishing boat is now quite famous in the nearby fishing circle. Fishing spots are in short supply every day, and basically reservations have to be made for the next few days.

He also knew where there were more fish around and which island was in the best location.

However, competitors are enemies, and he doesn't want to steal business from his big brother.

After much deliberation, Chen Hu finally decided to follow Chen Zhiyao's example and go fishing and set up sticky nets himself.

With his fishing skills, he should be able to make a living, right?

The cost of building a decent fishing boat is not cheap. For a new boat with complete equipment like Chen Zhiyao's, the more than 200,000 yuan he has on hand is definitely not enough.

Besides, he was alone, so there was no need for such a big boat.

Considering that he didn't have much capital, he thought the best way was to rent a boat or buy a second-hand small fishing boat.

Suddenly, Chen Hu slapped his thigh excitedly:

"By the way, let's ask Tangtang first. This little girl is a wealthy woman now. I'll go and get some advice from her."

After Chen Zhiyao got home, she rested for a while and was about to cook dinner when she was pulled aside by Chen Hu.

"What's wrong? Why are you so mysterious?"

The matter of going it alone has not been finalized yet, and Chen Hu does not want to let his family elders know so early.

After looking around and making sure that no one was around, he whispered in Chen Zhiyao's ear:

"Tangtang, I have saved some money now. What do you think about me buying a second-hand small fishing boat and starting my own business?"

Chen Zhiyao knew that her second brother had good fishing skills. When he went out to sea, even if he just caught a few fish in his spare time, his catch would be better than that of the fishermen on the boat.

If I continue to stay on the fishing boat to help my family, it would be a waste of my talents and I definitely can't continue like this.

When Chen Zhiyao heard that he wanted to work on his own, she agreed with both hands:

"That's a good idea, second brother, do you want to get a fishing boat like your eldest brother or do you want to go fishing and fishing on your own?"

Chen Hu shook his head. "I'm definitely too busy to run a fishing boat by myself, and if I try to steal my brother's business, this guy will definitely beat me up."

"I want to get a cheaper second-hand fishing boat, like you did when you first started, and put down the nets in the morning and stay on the boat the rest of the time fishing."

Chen Feng is very strong, and Chen Hu doesn't want to be beaten, and there is no need for him to do so.

Chen Zhiyao also thought that Chen Hu's idea was quite good, and nodded with a smile:

"This is pretty good. You can buy a good second-hand fishing boat for tens of thousands of yuan. If you are not picky, you can buy a smaller one for 2 yuan."

"But I think you can go fishing first after you put down the net in the morning. You have a whole day to fish anyway, so these two hours won't hurt."

After all, fishing or netting may result in empty-handedness, but it is different with sea fishing. At least you can get a few pounds of clams or kelp to take back as a snack.

Although Chen Zhiyao didn't say it explicitly, Chen Hu also thought of this and nodded excitedly:

"Yes, yes, yes. We can also go fishing. I usually hang out on the fishing boat and almost forget about fishing."

The brother and sister became more and more excited as they talked. After whispering for a while, Chen Hu ran home with a happy smile on his face.

During dinner, both families knew that Chen Hu wanted to buy a fishing boat and start his own business.

Chen Feng also knew that his younger brother was good at fishing, and it would be a waste of his talent for him to stay on the boat to do odd jobs, so he was the first to raise his hand in agreement.

Chen Daqiang was more cautious and thought it would be better to rent a small boat to try it out first. If it worked, it would not be too late to buy a boat later.

"Although second-hand fishing boats are not expensive and their value won't depreciate much after buying them, there are still risks. It's better to rent a small boat first, like Tangtang did at the beginning."

Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen also persuaded him among the family members to rent a small boat and try it out first.

After a lively discussion, Chen Hu finally decided to rent a boat first.

That night, the two families hurriedly asked around to see who had a fishing boat for sale or rent.

As for Chen Hu's odd job, it was much simpler and a suitable candidate was found that night.

The next morning, when Chen Zhiyao and others arrived at the dock, they happened to see Chen Hu and the villagers watching the fishing boats.

Just in time to meet them, Chen Zhiyao excitedly pulled her father over to join in the fun.

This is a small fishing boat that looks a bit old but is still quite sturdy.

Overall, it was smaller than the one she had rented before, estimated to be only about 6.5 meters long. It did not have equipment such as a crane or fish finder, nor did it have a small cabin for rest.

The boat was not big. Chen Zhiyao and others saw it at a glance. It was just an ordinary small fishing boat.

The fishing boat is not very good, but the price is quite expensive. It costs 4300 yuan a month to rent it, and 4.6 yuan to buy it.

Everyone felt that it was not cost-effective, and Chen Hu also felt that it was too expensive, so he decided to look at other fishing boats before making a decision.

After watching the excitement, Chen Zhiyao and others went out to sea in a mighty manner.
