Chapter 844 Two Chief Accountants
"Song Tianping!"
"What are you doing?"
Cao Hong parked the speedboat and went to the dock. He saw Song Tianping standing motionless on his speedboat, wondering what he was thinking.
Song Tianping turned his head and saw Cao Hong parking the speedboat, opening the cover of the liveboat, taking out a water box, and loading fish.
"How many fish did you catch?"
Song Tianping and Cao Hong have a very good relationship and often eat and drink together.
"Damn it!"
"Today I only caught about 30 kilograms. If I continue like this, I won't even have enough money for gas, let alone food!"
Cao Hong reached into the liveboat with a scoop net, and there was no fish after two scoops. He was very depressed and even a little angry. He directly hammered the deck of the speedboat twice.
Song Tianping shook his head.
This is really not the first day that Cao Hong has caught so many fish. A few days ago, he only caught about 30 kilograms of sea bass.
If a small speedboat in the inner sea can catch so many fish, it can definitely make money, and a lot of money. However, people like Cao Hong and I who specialize in sea bass fishing go far away, and we really can't make much money with such a small amount of fish.
It's no problem to catch so many fish in one or two days, but it's really troublesome if you only catch so few fish for more than ten days a month.
"How many fish did you catch?"
Cao Hong took out the cigarettes in his pocket, lit them one by one and threw them to Song Tianping.
Song Tianping smiled bitterly and said that the fish he caught today was only 30 kilograms, at most 40 kilograms.
"How is this possible? I can't catch many fish. That's because I went late today. The good positions were taken by others. Didn't you occupy the best position in the largest foam area? How could you catch so few fish?"
Cao Hong was stunned.
I caught fewer fish. One reason is that my fishing skills are not as good as Song Tianping's. I have to admit this. But the more important thing is that I have been in a very bad position these days. On the contrary, Song Tianping stands in the best position with Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui almost every day. There is no reason to catch so few fish.
"Humph!"
"You know what's going on!"
"What's wrong with standing in the best position? That person called Zhao Dahai can grab fish from a far distance!"
"Didn't we change the position yesterday? I didn't occupy the best position, so that he wouldn't grab fish. You know what happened in the end!"
Song Tianping shook his head while talking. Not only did he catch very few fish in the past two days, but he also fished very uncomfortably.
There are a lot of sea bass in the island and reef foam area almost every day. As long as you occupy the best position, even if you catch fewer fish, you must catch more than others.
As a result, Zhao Dahai grabbed the fish, and I and Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui stood in the best position. The fish I caught were no different from those of Cao Hong who occupied a worse position.
"Alas!"
"What can we do? Zhao Dahai is really good at fishing. Let alone your current position, we didn't dare to go there when we saw that you didn't occupy the same position?"
"Song Tianping!"
"In the second half of last year, especially when Zhao Dahai started fishing in the island and reef foam area, the fish we caught kept decreasing."
"This won't work!"
Cao Hong frowned.
When Zhao Dahai appeared in the island and reef foam area, he usually robbed the fish in the foam area with the best position occupied by Xu Dachui, Xu Xiaochui and Song Tianping.
At first glance, it has nothing to do with people like us, and the impact is not great, but in fact it will still have an impact.
The number of sea bass in the entire island and reef foam area is almost fixed. There are many sea bass in the largest foam area. Xu Dachui, Xu Xiaochui and Song Tianping are in the best position, but they can't catch all of them. These fish will definitely leak out and run to other large and small foam areas around. They or others have more or less chances. Now as long as Zhao Dahai appears in the island and reef foam area to fish, the fish he catches are hundreds of catties or thousands of catties at the least, and thousands of catties at the most. Others will definitely not be able to catch many fish.
"Everyone knows that this won't work, but what can be done?"
When Song Tianping said this, he thought of the brothers Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui.
"Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui may have gone to fish for other fish!"
Song Tianping hesitated for a moment, but still spoke out.
"Ah?"
"Caught other fish? What do you mean? Haven't Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui been fishing for sea bass for more than ten years?"
Cao Hong was very surprised.
The brothers Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui had already started fishing for sea bass. They were definitely experts in this area, and they could make a lot of money fishing for sea bass.
Song Tianping was talking about fishing for other fish, which must be fishing for black porgy, yellow croaker, or even giant grouper in the open sea.
"Is there anything else to say? They are all Zhao Dahai!"
"You don't think that only you and I or other people are affected. In fact, the two brothers Xu Dachui and Shui Xiaochui are the most affected!"
Song Tianping sees Xu Dachui and Shui Xiaochui almost every day. Whenever they go fishing, their speedboats are almost next to each other. He knows very well how many fish Xu Dachui and Shui Xiaochui have caught. The consequence of Zhao Dahai's snatching of fish is that whoever catches the most fish in the island reef foam area will be most affected.
"Ha!"
"Why did I forget about this?"
"That's right!"
"The people who fish for sea bass in the entire island reef foam area are you and Xu Dachui and Shui Xiaochui!"
Cao Hong laughed loudly.
"Humph!"
"Why do I feel that you are gloating?"
Song Tianping glanced at Cao Hong.
"How could you feel that? This is really gloating. Who told you and the two brothers Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui to catch more fish? The key is that you occupy the best position."
"Zhao Dahai came here to grab fish, so he must be eyeing you, and he must be eyeing the largest bubble area!"
"The main thing is that Zhao Dahai really has such a skill, and can grab fish from dozens of meters away. There is really no way to do it!"
Cao Hong is really gloating.
"That's right!"
"Didn't you just say that the two brothers Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui went to fish other fish?"
"Isn't that really the case?"
Cao Hong slapped his forehead. He was just busy gloating and forgot about this matter.
"If these two brothers didn't go out to fish somewhere else, how could they be on the speedboat now instead of here at the dock?"
Song Tianping pointed to the place where the speedboats of the two brothers Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui usually docked.
Cao Hong turned his head and saw that he really didn't see the speedboat, and his brows knitted up all of a sudden.
"Does Zhao Dahai's fish-stealing really have such a big impact on you? Do you have to go somewhere else to fish?"
Cao Hong is very clear about what's going on with these sea bass fishermen. Generally speaking, they only fish for a wave of water and then go home to sell the fish when they return to the dock.
Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui are the best fishermen among them. Generally speaking, they are the first to come back to sell the fish and make the most money. If they don't return to the dock now and go fishing somewhere else, they are really forced into a desperate situation.
"How can we be 100% sure that they must go somewhere else to fish for other fish? But it looks like this should be the case."
Song Tianping is not sure whether the two brothers Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui went to fish somewhere else. He didn't see it with his own eyes, but the possibility is very high.
"What are your plans?"
Cao Hong glanced at Song Tianping.
Whether the two brothers Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui have a significant reduction in income and go fishing somewhere else is not an important matter for him and Song Tianping. After all, it is someone else's business. The most important thing is what he and Song Tianping should do, which is related to their own vital interests.
Song Tianping was silent for a while, sighed, and told Cao Hong that he might have to learn from Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui to go somewhere else to fish for other fish.
"At the end of last year, the young master made a lot of money due to the impact. This year, Zhao Dahai will often appear in the island and reef foam area."
"As long as he appears, I or Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui will definitely not be able to bear it."
Song Tianping really doesn't want to do this kind of thing, and really doesn't want to fish for other fish. One is that fishing for other fish takes more and longer time, which is very tiring. The other is that he has been fishing for sea bass for the past ten or eight years, and he doesn't know how to fish for other fish. If he really wants to do this, he has to learn everything from scratch.
If you just fish for fun, you can fish however you want. If you want to make money, you have to study it carefully, which can't be done in a short time.
Song Tianping is very troubled. He doesn't want to do it, but now he catches fewer fish and makes less money. This is definitely not okay, and he must find a way.
"Song Tianping."
"Zhao Dahai must often appear in the island and reef foam area."
"As long as you come here, you can catch a lot of fish and make a lot of money. No one would be reluctant to make money, right?"
Cao Hong knew without thinking that Zhao Dahai would often appear in the island and reef foam area in the future, especially when the tide and water flow were good. Song Tianping, Xu Dachui, and Xu Xiaochui were greatly affected, and he would be affected as well. He had to think carefully about what to do next.
"Oh?"
"What do you think?"
Song Tianping's heart moved. If Cao Hong said this, he must have figured out some kind of solution.
Cao Hong told Song Tianping that they had been fishing for sea bass for such a long time and were very familiar with how to fish for sea bass. They were not completely ignorant of other fish, but they really did not know them very well. It was almost impossible to catch fish at once, such as black porgy in the open sea, especially large grouper in the open sea. Now that the income has been greatly affected, we have to fish more. The best and easiest way is to go somewhere else to fish for sea bass.
"Oh?"
"Go somewhere else to fish for sea bass?"
Song Tianping could not help but think about it.
This is indeed a way, and it is a good way.
There are indeed a lot of sea bass in the island and reef foam area, but if Zhao Dahai often comes to visit, it will have a great impact on me, and I must think about changing places to fish.
Changing to another place, or fishing for other fish, is really very disadvantageous to me.
I have been fishing for sea bass for many years and am very familiar with the fishing spots of various sea bass. The most important thing is that I am very familiar with how to fish for sea bass.
It's not that the brothers Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui's approach is not possible, but they must invest too much in the early stage, and the risk is very high. On the contrary, if they go to other places to fish for sea bass, it will be easier for them.
However, it is not without disadvantages to do so. The most important thing is that there is no fishing spot for sea bass in the surrounding waters that can compare with the island reef foam area. It is very likely that the fish caught will be far less than here in the island reef foam area.
Another problem that needs to be considered is that fishing for sea bass is different from fishing for other fish. Sea bass is very particular about tides and water.
If you miss the tides and water, it is very difficult to catch fish, which means that if you choose another fishing spot, you have to give up the island reef foam area. It is impossible to go to two places in one day.
Song Tianping was a little hesitant and didn't know how to make a decision for a while.
"Hmph!"
"Why should I consider that?"
"One is to honestly just fish for sea bass in the island reef foam area."
"Zhao Dahai can't come here every day to grab fish. If he doesn't come, he will definitely be affected and the fish he catches will definitely be less, but when he doesn't come, won't he be able to catch more fish?"
"In fact, the money earned from the fish caught in a year is not small, but it's just that Zhao Dahai showed up to grab the fish, so the fish caught are less than usual. It's not like he can't make a fuss. Can't support the family. "
"The other is to think of some ways to catch more fish. What the two brothers Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui did is one way, and the other is what I just said, go to other fishing spots. "
"It is impossible to catch a lot of sea bass at other fishing spots, but when the tide is good, or go to other places a few times a month, you may catch more fish. "
Cao Hong didn't think about it at first, but after Song Tianping said this, he found that he could also consider doing so.
The island and reef foam area is indeed the best fishing spot for sea bass in the nearby sea area, but this does not mean that there are no other fishing spots.
Song Tianping and I know at least seven or eight good fishing spots, but they are not as good as the island and reef foam area, but at certain times, especially choosing a few days a month to go to other places, there is no problem, and it is even very likely that more sea bass can be caught than the island and reef foam area.
Why not?
"Let's think about it carefully and see which places are more suitable, and then we can find time to run."
Song Tianping gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He had to give it a try no matter what.
"Why choose another time? Isn't it still early now? Sell the sea bass we caught today, and find a place to eat and talk."
Cao Hong caught very few sea bass in the past few days, and he couldn't help talking about this now.
Song Tianping nodded without saying anything. The two of them hurriedly picked up the fish and put it in the water tank. They carried it to the dock and first sold the fish. Then they found a food stall near the dock and sat down to eat and talk. They chose a fishing spot and decided to try it tomorrow to see if they could catch it and how much they could catch if they could.
