My fishing game syncs with reality

Gu Nan gave up his position. After a while, Ye Jing and Guo Xiao each caught a tuna. Then Wang Jun, Zhao Kang and others who had not caught any fish started to cast their rods.

Ye Jing's luck was a bit bad this time. What he caught was a yellowfin tuna, and it was a little small.

It is obvious that the tuna arrived tonight is of various species, not just one.

At this time, other anglers on the boat who had caught fish also brought up their caught fish. Although three unlucky fish got cut off and escaped, it did not affect the overall harvest.

There was no place for Gu Nan to fish at the moment, so he just strolled around the boat to see what others had caught.

After a round, I found that most people were fishing for yellowfin tuna, while a few were fishing for longfin and bigeye tuna.

It seems that there are mainly these three species of tuna at night, and the number of longfin and bigeye is less than that of yellowfin, so the harvest is much less than that of yellowfin.

Gu Nan is not picky, having one is better than having nothing.

These smaller tunas weigh over a hundred pounds, so the profit from one fish is not small.

The net profit that Gu Nan earned after the acquisition alone is estimated to be one-fifth of an average worker's monthly income, which is about one thousand yuan.

At this moment, more than 30 tunas were caught, many of which weighed more than 150 kilograms and nearly 200 kilograms. If we bought them all, the profit would be considerable.

Zhao Kang returned to his fishing spot with satisfaction. He had already caught a fish. The electric reel was working hard. It seemed that the fish was not small and it would take quite a while to hook it.

Wang Junhe also caught a fish, but An Jun looked depressed, looking at his motionless fishing rod.

It turns out that fishing depends on your physical condition.

Time flies when fishing for tuna.

It felt like I had only caught two or three fish, but it was already late at night.

The school of fish tonight is larger than I imagined, and it feels like an inexhaustible supply.

Gu Nan and the others took turns fishing. Everyone caught two or three fish, and those who were luckier even caught four.

This was his record tonight, and Zhao Kang miraculously tied with him.

This young man's luck is really good, he deserves to be able to catch grouper on the shore.

I worked all night, sleeping during the day and continuing to put out fish-attracting lights at night until this trip to the sea was completely over.

On the morning of the seventh day, the fishing boat set off.

Ye Jing was not the one driving the boat. He had been on night duty for the past two days and the daytime work was handed over to the temporary captain, so the captain was the one driving the boat now.

This time the harvest was very big, because there were schools of tuna coming for three consecutive nights.

The fishing boat's ice storage was full of tuna, but it was only morning and everyone was asleep so there was no movement.

After noon, some fishermen who looked haggard and listless went out to eat in restaurants one after another.

Gu Nan wasn't in such a good mood either. He had also been staying up all night for three days, and he didn't enter the sea-hunting map to recover, so it was inevitable that he felt tired.

After dinner, the fishermen appeared on the deck one after another and began to show off their catches.

At the same time, they found boatmen and sold the fish they caught.

Of course, they would also take a small portion back to eat themselves or give to others.

There weren't many things, so Gu Nan earned a little less, but it didn't have much impact on his overall income.

We can get back to the dock by 7 or 8 in the evening, so the afternoon is very busy.

It was not until after four in the afternoon that the boatmen counted the fish they had purchased.

Gu Nan was too lazy to look at other people's things, but he was very curious about what Zhao Kang had gained.

Everyone was really shocked when this boy brought out his catch; there were thirteen tunas.

Although the largest one weighs only a little over 200 kilograms, the combined weight of the thirteen is very considerable.

There were more than 1,870 kilograms of tuna alone. He didn't keep a single one and sold them all to Gu Nan's fishing company for a total of more than 65,000 yuan.

Including the other fish, he earned a total of more than 78,400 points this time. Gu Nan gave an integer and turned the remaining 400 points into 500.

The money was naturally paid on the spot, and Zhao Kang was a little surprised when he received the money.

He only spent 5,000 yuan on the ticket, but after the trip to the sea, the money turned into 78,000 yuan, and he also found a stable job.

But he was really tired, Zhao Kang felt like he was about to die.

That is to say, he used an electric reel to fish. If he had used manual fishing like Gu Nan and the others, he felt that his catch would be at least two-thirds less.

With his strength, he could probably only catch a tuna weighing a hundred pounds even if he risked his life.

Gu Nan smiled and patted Zhao Kang, who was confused by the numbers on his phone: "Buy your sister some beautiful clothes when you get back, and take her out for a nice meal."

"By the way, there's no rush for work. We'll let you know when we're going out to sea. And you don't need to prepare fishing rods, there will be working rods on the boat."

A set of suitable sea fishing rods is very expensive, and heavy rods are needed to catch big fish, while softer rods are needed for small fish. In addition, the price of electric reels is also high. If Zhao Kang wants to prepare the fishing rod himself, at least half of the 78,000 yuan will have to be spent.

Zhao Kang came back to his senses and nodded when he heard that.

He kept looking towards home, obviously eager to go back and share the joy of making money with his sister.

Gu Nan ignored him and went to count his gains.

Not surprisingly, he still gained the most among everyone.

Even in the last three nights, he caught the most tuna, seventeen in total, with the smallest weighing more than 150 kilograms.

If you sell the fish in the company, the shipment will be faster.

But he himself will suffer a little loss because An Jun and Ye Jing also have shares in the company.

So he doesn't need to sell the fish. He can just send the fish to the seafood store and sell it slowly without going through the company.

It saves you the trouble of having to keep accounts of everything in and out of the warehouse.

After returning home, Gu Nan had a brief meeting with Ye Jing and An Jun, then sorted out some photos taken at sea and posted them on a certain audio platform.

By the way, we spent some money on promotion. In the next period of time, I guess many people who watch short videos on Tik Tok will see the videos promoted on the company's account.

Judging from the traffic on certain audio platforms, Gu Nan estimated that the fishing boat would have to go out to sea again after only a few days of rest.

After the meeting, matters were handed over to the company employees, and Gu Nan and the others went back home to hug their wives.

Things turned out just as he expected. After spending money on promotion, more than 50 people signed up on the second day.

Half of them were obtained from certain audio channels, and the other half were introduced in disguise by the fishermen who went overseas this time.

There is no need to promote it deliberately. When they return with their harvest and achievements, they will naturally attract the attention of their close friends. Fishermen will definitely have friends in this field. When they learn about their exaggerated harvests, how can those fishermen who don’t know or didn’t go last time sit still?

Gu Nan was not idle either. After resting for two days, Wang Junhe called him and asked him to show him the way to find the discovered whale bone.

The buyer has already been contacted, and the price will be determined after seeing the skeleton, but it won’t be particularly high anyway.

Secondly, Gu Nan had to pay for the salvage boat rental himself. After working all day, he only earned 900,000 yuan in the end.

He could have made a million dollars because the whale bone was quite complete, but unfortunately it was missing a few teeth and a piece of tailbone, which slightly reduced its value.

Nine hundred thousand is not a small amount of money and is a huge sum for an ordinary family, but it is a drop in the bucket for Gu Nan who needs a lot of money. His immediate goal should still be to participate in the fishing competition.

Over the next month, Gu Nan went out to sea less frequently. Most of the time he just went to the sea to buy some goods to ensure the quantity of seafood in the aquarium and the frozen food hall.

However, he did not stock up extra goods because he would still have time to go fishing when he went to compete abroad, which would ensure that the seafood store could successfully get through the fishing ban period.

Time quickly came to June 3rd, the day when Gu Nan and his companions set out for the Ugly Country.

The competition starts on the 8th, so they need to go there a few days in advance. Not only do they need to adjust to the time difference, but they also have to rent a boat and adapt to the ocean conditions there.

A lot of people set out, including Gu Nan and the three people he originally planned, as well as An Jun and two assistants who came to join in the fun.

Ye Jing couldn't leave, he needed to stay at home to take care of the company, deal with emergencies, and understand the operating model of the seafood processing plant.

It is necessary for a fishery company to set up a seafood processing plant. When there are more ships in the future, many small fish and shrimps can be made into snacks.

They can also go to some farms to purchase some farmed shrimps, make dried shrimps and so on.

During the period before the fishing ban, the fishery company had very good profits, so Gu Nan and the other two discussed it before deciding to develop it further.

If possible in the second half of the year, we will continue to recruit people and increase the number of fishing boats.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to recruit a team that specializes in tuna fishing. The manpower and resources required to form one on their own are huge, so they cannot afford it for the time being.

In Morehead City, North Carolina, the annual Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament is once again being held.

This fishing competition is very well-known locally, especially four years ago, when an old NBA gangster also participated in the competition.

However, he and his fleet only caught a 442.3-pound marlin. Unfortunately, the fish was not big enough and he failed to make it into the top three and win the prize.

Gu Nan has already learned about this year's prize money, and the amount has now increased to five million US dollars.

This fishing competition is very interesting. There is no first, second or third place ranking. Whether or not you can get the prize money depends only on who catches the top three blue marlins.

If the first three catches are all caught by the same fleet, then that fleet will directly receive the top prize of five million.

The other contestants did receive some prize money, but it was negligible compared to the biggest prizes for the top three.

The second-placed marlin fisherman will receive $2.8 million.

The second place winner received US$1.5 million and the third place winner received US$700,000.

Secondly, in addition to these three highest rewards, there is also a special reward.

That is, the first fleet to catch a marlin weighing more than 500 pounds will receive an additional bonus of 800,000.

In other words, the total prize money this time reached 5.8 million US dollars, which is much more than in previous years.

Maybe because the competition has gained more attention, there are more sponsors, which has also led to a significant increase in the amount.

This is good news for Gu Nan!
Originally, he thought he could only get the first place prize, but he didn't expect that after learning the rules of the competition, he could actually get a maximum prize of 5.8 million.

If converted into dollars, this would be more than 40 million, right?
Gu Nan's eyes suddenly showed money symbols, and he sighed: "The people of Laochou Country are just rich. The prize money for a fishing competition is so high. What is pattern? This is it."

"You bosses should learn from them. Do you have the nerve to give out a mere one million yuan in bonuses?"

Faced with the complaints, Wang Junhe and Guo Xiao rolled their eyes speechlessly and turned their heads away, not wanting to pay any attention to this money-grubber.

Forty million, even if both families contribute together it is still a considerable amount of money. A few million is fine for fun, but tens of millions is forgettable.

Money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat, so let someone else be the one who gives away money!

They found a star-rated hotel to stay in, had a good night's sleep and adjusted to the jet lag, then set out together the next day and rented a 15-meter competition-standard fishing boat.

It is a relatively luxurious ship with rooms for rest.

Went out to sea for a while to get used to the ship.

During this period, Gu Nan also met many contestants from all over the country, and learned about them from Wang Jun and his assistant.

People from all over the world participate in this competition every year. The venue of each competition is different, but they are all held in coastal cities.

There are a total of 315 ships registered this year, with an average of five people on each ship, which means there are more than 1,500 participants.

No wonder there is such a high prize, otherwise it wouldn’t attract so many people.

The competition lasted for six days, and the consumption generated by 1,500 people was enough to earn back the prize money.

After all, those who come to participate in the competition are not short of money, so the consumption is still considerable.

Although five days were reserved, after arriving in Ugly Country, Gu Nan still felt that time passed very quickly, and the competition day arrived in the blink of an eye.

At the dock, he took a special walk around, but unfortunately he didn't meet any familiar figures this time. He didn't see any stars, and the old rogue didn't come to participate in the competition.

Gu Nan shook his head and returned to his boat.

With the competition held once a year, he will have plenty of opportunities in the future.

You have to be more cautious in the future if you take the highest bonus every time. Otherwise, it will be too conspicuous and cause problems.

If Gu Nan hadn't used cheats and had always won the highest prize, he might not have felt guilty, but unfortunately he did use cheats.

After returning to the boat, he installed the golden fishing rods he had checked in on the bracket one by one.

The lines and fish hooks were purchased directly in the game, but Wang Jun and the others thought Gu Nan bought them locally.

Three golden fishing rods are enough, and there is no need to put too many hooks.

Because a boat can carry five people, An Jun also came on board, and with the addition of an assistant, it was exactly five people.

The assistant doesn't know anything and can only help with odd jobs. Wang Jun and they are responsible for driving the boat and finding fish, and Gu Nan is the main angler. The division of labor is clear.

More than 300 fishing boats were parked at the pier, more than half of which were luxury fishing boats, creating a spectacular scene.

There are cameras installed on the boat so that it can record at any time, and the assistant also has a camera in his hand.

Of course, in order to prevent cheating, the organizer also has twenty patrol ships and a large number of drones.

In the Ugly Country, there is no need to go to the open sea to encounter tuna and blue marlin, so drones are very useful and are the main shooting tool. (End of this chapter)
