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

Chapter 986 A guaranteed profit?
"Aunt Zhang!"

"What's so strange about this? I just want to make my own money."

Shi Zhongwei glanced at Ding Ailian who was standing next to him.

"Yo!"

"How come I forgot about this?"

"This is about getting married, having your own little family, and having your own money."

Zhang Li burst into laughter.

The custom in the fishing village is that after getting married and having your own family, you may split up the family, but this is not 100% certain. Sometimes the family does not split up. No matter how many brothers and sisters there are in the family, as long as they work at home, they will get a fixed salary every month. They may wait until their parents are older to split up the family, or they may directly take over the family's livelihood.

It seems that it is temporarily impossible for Shi Zhongwei's family to split up. The family will have to wait until Shi Jiehua is older before he can take over the family's sea fishing boat.

"Aunt Zhang!"

"I am the only male in my family. I don't have any other brothers. I only have an older sister and a younger sister."

"I will take over the fishing boats my dad bought, including the family business, sooner or later. But I thought that if I had my own fishing boat, the money I earned from now on would be mine alone. Besides, I wanted to see if I had the ability to do this."

"If I want to buy a fishing boat, I need money. If Sister Xiaoxiang doesn't lend me money, I have no choice. But now Sister Xiaoxiang has said that she will lend me money if I want to buy a sea fishing boat. I am tempted."

"Borrowing money to buy a fishing boat is not a new thing in our fishing village. Anyone who goes out to sea would like to borrow money to buy a fishing boat, but most people don't have the ability to do so, so no one is willing to lend the money."

Shi Zhongwei grew up in a fishing village and knew the way things were done in the fishing village. Fishing boats were not cheap, and large fishing boats were even less likely to be cheap. Many people who went out to sea could not save enough money to buy a fishing boat in their lifetime. If they did so, they would not be able to go out to sea until they were 50 or 60 years old. Many people borrowed money from others when they had some money, or even a small amount of money, to buy a fishing boat and go fishing and then pay it back. If Ding Xiaoxiang was unwilling to lend him money, he would have no choice, but now that Ding Xiaoxiang had spoken up and was willing to lend him money, the idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Ding Ailian and I are both undecided, so we came to ask you, Aunt Zhang! Let's see what's going on and whether this thing can be done."

Shi Zhongwei really wanted to borrow money, but he was really undecided.

"What do you two think about this matter?"

Zhang Li did not answer immediately. She turned her head to look at Zhang Qi and Chen Miaomiao who were sitting next to her and listening with great interest.

"Why should I even think about this? I must have borrowed money to buy a big sea fishing boat to go fishing."

……

"Correct!"

"There's really no need to think about this."

……

Zhang Qi and Chen Miaomiao said without hesitation that this was a very good deal.

"what?"

"Why? Why is it that I can do this without even thinking about it?"

Shi Zhongwei was shocked. He wanted to do this and felt that it could indeed be done, but he couldn't make up his mind, so he came here to ask Zhang Li's opinion. He never expected that Zhang Li and Chen Miaomiao would say that this could definitely be done as soon as they opened their mouths.

"The stone bell is."

"Can you do this?"

"It all depends on whether we can make money."

"Do you think you can make money by buying this sea fishing boat?"

"I'm not too sure about the money that sea fishing boats make. But I heard that the fishing spots on your sea fishing boats have been so popular lately that they're hard to get."

"A sea fishing boat is not a fishing spot. Does it mean that you can make money just by booking it?"

"You bought a sea fishing boat, is there anyone who would reserve a spot?"

"If someone orders it, what are you afraid of? Isn't it a safe way to make money? Since you can make money, why don't you do this?"

Chen Miaomiao saw it very clearly. This matter was really not complicated at all. As long as Shi Zhong could determine the fishing spot and buy a sea fishing boat, he would be able to make money. As long as he could make money, he could borrow money to buy a fishing boat. There was no risk at all.

"I'm not going out to sea to fish on my own in a sea fishing boat. I'm going out to sea to fish with my father, He Jian and He Shu. We form a fleet to go out to sea to fish."

“How is it possible that a fishing spot cannot be booked?”

“Not only can the fishing spots be booked, but they must be as popular as my father’s and Uncle He Jian’s sea fishing boats.”

"what!"

"I understand what's going on!"

"That's exactly what's going on. It can definitely make money. Why not buy a sea fishing boat like this?"

"The risk here is not high at all."

Shi Zhongwei's brain worked very quickly. After thinking for a while, he understood what Chen Miaomiao meant and slapped his thigh vigorously. If he bought a sea fishing boat to go out to sea, he would definitely go out to sea with his father and He Jian's sea fishing boat. When booking a fishing spot, everyone's sea fishing boats were booked together. This was borrowing the east wind. Others couldn't do this, but who said he was a son, and it was only natural for a son to borrow the east wind from his father.

"Correct!"

"The more I think about this, the more I feel that I really have to do it."

"I bought my own sea fishing boat, but I still have to pay interest, principal and repayments on the money I make. However, the risk of making money is not high, and the money I make is mine. I don't need to give it to my father."

Shi Zhongwei suddenly understood the key here.

"The stone bell is."

"There is one more thing you must not forget. Even if you really can't make any money, do you think I will just stand by and watch you fail to pay back the money?"

Zhang Qi reminded Shi Zhongwei with a smile.

"what!"

"That's right, that's right."

Shi Zhongwei was stunned for a moment. He really had not thought of this. However, Zhang Qi was right. Even if he really could not pay back the money, his father would not watch him become a pauper. He would definitely have to pay back the money for him. Thinking in this way, he no longer had any worries.

"Hey!"

"What else can I say? I'll go find Sister Xiaoxiang and borrow some money to buy a big sea fishing boat of my own."

"This is definitely taking advantage of my father! But who told me I'm his son?"

"Son, you can't be too polite to me."

Shi Zhongwei had thought the whole thing through thoroughly and made up his mind. Ding Xiaoxiang must have thought about these things a long time ago, so she came up with such an idea. There was really not much risk in borrowing money to buy a fishing boat. The key now was whether his father would agree to do such a thing.

Shi Zhongwei decided to have a serious talk with his father about this matter when he returned.

"Do you two have any ideas?"

Zhang Li watched Shi Zhongwei and Ding Ailing leave together, and quickly walked out of the fish market. She turned around and looked at Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi. Some time ago, she and Ding Chongshan went to Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi's home. The wedding was already decided, but there was no specific time. Shi Zhongwei's recent experience reminded her that she had to consider Ding Jie, Ding Weijun and Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi's marriage. The most important thing was how to make money after having a small family. Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi looked at each other. I didn't expect Zhang Li to ask them this question.

"Aunt!"

“We really have never thought about this matter.”

Chen Miaomiao shook her head.

"Ok!"

"Recently, Chen Miaomiao and I have actually been getting used to and understanding these family businesses."

"There's really no need to rush this matter."

"We'll tell you if you have any ideas."

Zhang Qi also shook his head.

"Row!"

“You can say whatever you think.”

"When you marry Ding Jie and Ding Weijun, you will have your own little family."

"You must have your own ideas. You must have your own ideas."

"It's impossible not to think about this. My idea is that you and Ding Jie and Ding Weijun should figure this out as soon as possible."

Zhang Li looked at Chen Miaomiao and then at Zhang Qi, and she had to explain this matter clearly.

Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi married Ding Jie and Ding Weijun and started their own family. They must have their own ideas and plans. If this matter is not made clear, all kinds of problems will easily arise. Brothers have to settle accounts tomorrow, let alone the relationship between aunts and sisters-in-law.

Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi nodded and went back to discuss the matter with Ding Jie and Ding Weijun.

Shi Zhongwei and Ding Ailian strolled around for a while, had a meal, and hurried back to the dock. He wanted to find his grandfather Shi Guangming to discuss the matter first, but he couldn't find him after searching for a long time, so he gritted his teeth and went directly to Shi Jiehua.

"Yo!"

"You kid still have such an idea?"

Shi Jiehua was a little surprised. He didn't expect Shi Zhongwei to tell him such a thing.

He Jian stood nearby smoking a cigarette without saying anything, but he was still very surprised in his heart.

"Hey!"

“Spend your own money!”

Shi Zhongwei didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"If we're going to buy a new sea fishing boat, we'll definitely have to buy this. You, uncle, and I have already bought a big one like this!"

"This is not a small amount of money. Even if Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang lend you the money, you still have to pay it back, and you have to pay interest. Everything has to be done according to the rules of our fishing village."

"This needs to be considered carefully!"

Shi Jiehua was very surprised at first, but he quickly calmed down. He thought it was very normal for Shi Zhongwei to have such thoughts.

"Another way."

"You don't need to buy such a big sea fishing boat now. I'll transfer your father's sea fishing boat to you at the market price."

"Just pay your father back the money you earn."

He Jian pointed at Shi Jiehua's old sea fishing boat parked not far away.

The advantage of this approach is that you don't have to take out so much money at once.

There is no need for Shi Zhongwei to be under such great pressure.

"What do you think?"

Shi Jiehua looked at Shi Zhongwei.

If you want to be independent and make money on your own, you have to follow the rules of the fishing village, even if it is your own sea fishing boat. If you give it to Shi Zhongwei, you have to calculate the money and keep a clear account.

Shi Zhongwei is his only son. When he gets older, everything will definitely belong to Shi Zhongwei. But now he is young and it is not the time for Shi Zhongwei to inherit. If he wants to be independent and make money on his own, that's fine, but he has to take the risks himself.

Shi Zhongwei scratched the back of his head and glanced at the old fishing boat parked not far away. This was indeed a good idea. He still had to borrow money, one from his father and the other from Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang. But one would borrow less money and the other would borrow more money. If he borrowed less money, the pressure on him would not be so great.

Shi Zhongwei was a little hesitant. Buying an old sea fishing boat would not cost that much and the pressure on him would not be that great. However, the old sea fishing boat only had 20 fishing spots, while the new sea fishing boat had 40 spots, so the money earned would be different.

"dad!"

"I know what you mean. I need to think about this matter carefully."

Shi Zhongwei didn't make up his mind immediately and he really needed to think about this matter carefully. He would have to go out to sea in a few days. Even if he wanted to buy a fishing boat, it would take a month. He had plenty of time to think carefully about whether to buy a new one or an old one.

Shi Zhong left He Jian's sea fishing boat and went to the sea fishing boat he was responsible for, which was his father's sea fishing boat. There were many things to deal with before going out to sea.

"what!"

"Shi Jiehua."

"Have you ever thought about this?"

He Jian watched Shi Zhongwei go to another sea fishing boat. He turned around and looked at Shi Jiehua while talking and smiling.

Shi Jiehua shook his head. He really didn't expect Shi Zhongwei would do this with him.

"It's normal for older children to have such thoughts!"

"Don't children in our fishing village often behave like this?"

"To be honest, I'm quite happy that Shi Zhongwei has such an idea, instead of waiting for me to get old and take over these sea fishing boats."

"I won't say anything else. I didn't have such an idea back then, and I didn't dare to do such a thing."

Shi Jiehua was not at all bothered by Shi Zhongwei doing such a thing, but was very happy about it. When he was Shi Zhongwei's age, he did not have such an idea. Instead, he would wait until Shi Guangming was old before taking over.

"Correct!"

"That's exactly what happened. It's great that Shi Zhongwei has such thoughts at his age!"

"Even if we really can't make any money, don't we still have to have ours?"

"Besides, it's impossible not to make money!"

He Jian looked at Shi Zhongwei who was busy on Shi Jiehua's old sea fishing boat not far away. No matter whether he bought a new sea fishing boat or the old one, it was impossible not to make money.
