Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 930: Make Money Sooner
“This boat is really nice!”

Shi Guangming looked at basket after basket of fish being hoisted onto the dock by crane. It was very labor-saving and the speed was very fast, which is something that ordinary fishing boats do not have.

"Grandpa Shi."

“I bought this fishing boat basically to raise fish, and the other one is to sell fish.”

"Also, when we fish for big fish in the open sea, our speedboats have to transfer to the fishing boats. Without this crane, the speed would be too slow and the workers would suffer too much."

Zhao Dahai looked at the crane specially installed on the deck. This was a really good thing. Whether he was selling fish at the dock at this moment, or if he caught fish in the open sea and had to transfer them from the speedboat to the fishing boat, it could play a huge role and save a lot of time.

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"Your speedboat catches more fish. Why would anyone else need these things?"

Shi Guangming pointed at Ding Dawen who was busy on the deck.

Others' speedboats can catch hundreds of kilograms of fish in a day of fishing. When they arrive at the dock to sell the fish, they just need to put the fish in a few baskets, or even go directly to the fish farms near the dock that specialize in collecting fish and sell them. It doesn't take much effort or time.

Zhao Dahai's speedboat can easily catch several thousand kilograms of fish, or even more than ten thousand kilograms of fish. If it depends on manpower alone, it will be very difficult and take too long.

Liu Lei got on the fishing boat and went straight into the cab.

"Brother Dahai!"

"Now that the fish have been loaded, it's getting late, why don't we go get some lunch?"

"The place is ready anyway!"

Liu Lei had just finished packing the fish. He looked at the time and saw that it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, but he and Zhao Dahai and the others had not eaten yet.

"Second Grandpa."

"Grandpa Shi."

"Why don't we go to Hongyun Restaurant for dinner together?"

Zhao Dahai glanced at Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming shook their heads without even thinking. This was not out of politeness, but because they didn't want to make any trouble.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Just go and eat!"

"There are plenty of food stalls here at the dock. I can just ask someone to bring food to the fishing boat."

"Besides, there are all kinds of things on the fishing boat. We can also catch a big black sea bream and cook it into a soup."

"correct!"

"We two old men can just stay on this fishing boat. You can ask Ding Dawen and the people working on the fishing boat to go home."

Shi Guangming pointed at Ding Dawen and three other people on the deck.

"Row!"

"But I'll have to trouble you two, Second Grandpa and Grandpa Shi!"

Zhao Dahai was not polite to his second grandfather Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming.

Zhao Dahai, Liu Lei and Ding Xiaoxiang walked out of the cab and went up to the deck. They talked to Ding Dawen about going to Hongyun Restaurant for dinner, then going back home after dinner and returning to the fishing boat in the evening.

Ding Dawen shook his head without even thinking. Now that he was the captain of the boat, there was no reason for him to leave Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming and stay on the fishing boat.

"Brother Dawen."

"You haven't been home for a few days. Take this opportunity to go home."

"You can't just do this job and never go home, right? Or maybe you can only go home once a month, right?"

Ding Xiaoxiang knew that her cousin Ding Dawen wanted to do a good job, but it was impossible for him to come home only once a month.

Ding Dawen thought about it and felt that it made sense. He couldn't always stay away from home.

"There's no need to worry about eating. I can just eat with my second grandfather and the others on this fishing boat."

"After dinner, I and the brothers in the village took turns going home."

"It will be like this in the future. When the fishing boats come to the dock, if there is nothing else to do, we will take turns going home."

Ding Dawen came up with an idea.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang looked at each other and nodded. Ding Dawen was actually right. If he and the other people hadn't left the fishing boat, Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming would have been left alone to watch the fishing boat. This had nothing to do with being polite or not. If there was nothing particularly important, this should not have been done.

"Row!"

"Brother Dawen."

"You can arrange this matter!"

"Grandpa Shi just said that the food stalls near the pier can deliver meals."

"When the fishing boat is docked here, you can cook for yourself if you want, or you can just ask the food stalls to deliver food to the fishing boat, or you and the people on the boat can take turns to eat at the food stalls."

“How much money you spend is included in the account.”

"You can eat the fish on the fishing boat as you like."

Zhao Dahai told Ding Dawen that he must not save money on eating.

"Brother Dawen."

"What the sea and you said is true."

"Don't be fooled by the high prices of these fish you catch, but you can eat as much as you want."

"The sea looks like this when they go out fishing."

"correct!"

"When we go home, each of us should bring back two croakers and two black sea breams. Choose the ones with the bigger heads!"

"We can't go back empty-handed."

Ding Xiaoxiang knew Ding Dawen's character very well. Although Zhao Dahai said this, she estimated that he would definitely not eat the fish on the fishing boat. She could only remind Ding Dawen whether he was willing or not. It all depended on Ding Dawen. Nothing she said would be of any use.

"Row!"

"I got it!"

Ding Dawen nodded.

Zhao Dahai, Ding Xiaoxiang, Liu Lei, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin went to the dock and shouted to Zhong Shizhu to park the speedboat so that they could go eat together. They all got on the seafood truck and went to the Hongyun Restaurant in the town.

Liu Lei handed the seafood cart to the people in the restaurant, and took Zhao Dahai, Ding Xiaoxiang, Yang Qin and others directly to the largest private room on the top floor of the restaurant. After a while, the entire table was filled with fish, shrimps, crabs, chickens, ducks, meat and other things.

"Brother Dahai."

"How about we go to the back and see what the construction site is like?"

Liu Lei saw that Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang had finished their meal, and suggested going to take a look at the foundation being dug on the open space behind the restaurant.

"Row!"

"Let's have some tea and go to the back to take a look."

Zhao Dahai nodded. They were all busy going out to sea to fish and had not come here to see what was going on. But now that they had come to Hongyun Restaurant for dinner, they must take a look.

Zhao Dahai, Liu Lei, Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin went to the construction site at the back. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou stayed in the box to continue eating.

Zhao Dahai walked into the construction site and found that the foundation had been dug. Now, one truck after another was pulling various materials to the construction site. "This speed is really fast!"

"Now we have to really start laying the foundation, right?"

Zhao Dahai was very satisfied. The progress was quite fast.

"Hey!"

"Brother Dahai!"

"Does it still need to be said?"

"We have plenty of money!"

"Now that the money is in place, how can the speed not be fast?"

"If it's not fast, then we won't be able to make money from our hands!"

Liu Lei pointed to the trucks that were constantly carrying various materials.

He, Zhao Dahai, Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin all thought that as long as the construction started, they had to seize the time, build it quickly, open it quickly and make money quickly.

If you have enough money, the speed will definitely be very fast.

"Zhao Dahai."

"The building is expected to be completed within the next six months, and we can start decorating then."

"It won't take much time to renovate, two months at most."

"This is the time Ding Xiaoxiang and I have estimated for now. Who knows, it may be able to be shortened a bit."

Yang Qin has been keeping an eye on the construction site for some time and is very clear about the progress of the entire construction project here.

"As long as the quality of the construction can be guaranteed, the shorter the time, the better, even if it costs a little more money."

Zhao Dahai looked at the busy construction site in front of him and couldn't help imagining how the people in the entire town would react once the building was completed.

"Row!"

"Ding Xiaoxiang and I will think about this matter carefully later."

"If you are really willing to spend the money, you can probably get it done a month earlier, or even a month and a half to two months earlier."

Yang Qin gritted her teeth.

The meaning of Zhao Dahai’s words was very clear, that is, the current speed was not enough.

Yang Qin is very clear that although the current progress is already very fast, it can be even faster. The current speed is only two shifts. If it is three shifts, the speed can be increased a lot at once.

If you want a faster speed, you have to spend more money. But there is nothing wrong with Zhao Dahai's idea. The sooner the building is completed, the sooner it can be renovated and rented out, and you can make money in advance. As long as the extra money paid is controlled within a certain range, it is worth doing so.

Zhao Dahai, Ding Xiaoxiang, Liu Lei and Yang Qin took a look around the construction site and returned to Hongyun Restaurant and to the private room on the top floor.

Zhao Dahai drank some tea and left with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou. They went back to the Shijiao Village Pier and drove a speedboat back to Langtou Village.

Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin returned to the construction site.

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"Our original plan was to open the business during the next Chinese New Year, so that we could take advantage of the best and biggest day to boost our business."

"But what Zhao Dahai said today makes sense to me. We should hurry up and hurry as fast as possible."

Yang Qin had discussed this matter with Ding Xiaoxiang a long time ago, and felt that it would be more than enough to open the business during the Chinese New Year, and the speed would be very fast. However, after hearing what Zhao Dahai said just now, she felt that they still had to hurry up as much as possible.

"It's good to hurry up. Anyway, let's get this done in advance. We'll decide when to officially open the business."

"Or maybe everything is ready, we can do a trial run and see how things go."

"It would be better if we officially opened the business during the Chinese New Year."

"There is another great advantage to building this building in advance, which is that we can leave enough time for leasing."

Ding Xiaoxiang found that she and Yang Qin had forgotten about the leasing time or thought it was too simple. They thought that the location of the building was very good and that other people would come here to rent shops in a short time. But in fact, this is not necessarily the case, or it may take a longer time to find enough merchants.

Yang Qin was startled and her face looked a little ugly. The matter that Ding Xiaoxiang had just mentioned was something that the two of them had hardly touched upon during their previous discussions.

"Hey!"

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"Haven't we two thought about this?"

"Did Zhao Dahai realize this problem and ask us to speed up? Or is he just too embarrassed to say it directly?"

Yang Qin suddenly thought of this. It was impossible that Zhao Dahai told her and Ding Xiaoxiang about this for no reason, and shouted that they should hurry up and build the building as quickly as possible.

"Dahai has been concentrating on fishing lately and has ignored our building."

"I guess I just came here to take a look today. I thought it would be better if I went faster, so I just said it casually."

Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head. It’s not that there is no possibility at all, but it’s really unlikely that Zhao Dahai would not care about the affairs of the building between her and Yang Qin.

"Whether it takes longer or shorter, the money we spend won't make much difference. So we might as well hurry up."

"With three shifts or something, this building can be completed in a few months."

"Or after the first and second floors are built, we can start doing other things right away, such as laying some pipelines and renovating some places that can be renovated."

"In short, hurry up and start renting it out soon."

Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it and felt that it would be better to finish the building as soon as possible. Apart from other things, the sooner the building is completed, the more time there is for leasing. If it is really completed one or two months before the Chinese New Year, the time left for leasing will be very short, and it is possible that it will not be open for business before the Chinese New Year.

"Correct!"

"Sufficient rental time is really important to us."

“Leaving enough time will give you enough room for change.”

"You know, after our building is completed, we will have to take a big piece of the pie from other people's mouths."

“There will definitely be all kinds of twists and turns in this matter.”

Yang Qin felt a little scared.

If Zhao Dahai hadn't come here today to take a look at the construction site and mentioned to himself and Ding Xiaoxiang that they should hurry up and complete the building as soon as possible, it is possible that he and Ding Xiaoxiang would not have been aware of this matter.

"Hee hee hee!"

"Yang Qin."

"There's no need to worry about it so much."

"It is definitely important to hurry up and complete this building earlier. It will be more beneficial for us."

"But no matter what, quality is definitely the most important thing."

"Even if we don't have enough time and can't open during the Chinese New Year, then we can just open it later."

“We will officially open the business only after everything is done and completed.”

"Our building occupies the best location, and will have better management and provide a variety of services in the future."

“There’s no reason why you can’t beat others.”

“It’s just that we have to see whether it will take one year to become strong and big, or three to five years to become strong and big.”

Ding Xiaoxiang was very calm. She was actually a little anxious just now, wanting to achieve everything in one go. In fact, there was no need to do that.
