Chapter 905 A Good Thing that Everyone Agrees On
Shi Jiehua grabbed the wooden handle of the net with both hands and slowly pulled it up to the deck of the fishing boat.
"You people are all heartless. After finally catching such a big fish, you all want my fish to run away!"
"Obviously jealous that I caught a fish!"
Gao Zhicheng looked at Wu Weimin, Xu Tianhua and the friends around them who were either his own or Wu Weimin and Xu Tianhua's with great disdain.
"ha!"
"Gao Zhicheng."
"You're right, we just want your fish to run away!"
"One person can catch fish and everyone can be happy. Haven't you heard of this?"
Wu Weimin openly admitted that this was what he thought, and the people around him also thought so.
"Bosses!"
"A fish has already taken the bait. At this time, shouldn't everyone hurry up and see if they can catch a fish?"
Shi Jiehua looked at the people in other fishing positions surrounding him and looked at the big owl caught, and couldn't help but give a loud reminder.
Gao Zhicheng just put the first rod and a fish bit the hook right away, which proved that the owl in the sea may have opened its mouth now, and it is not as difficult to catch as imagined. People like Wu Weimin and Xu Tianhua must seize the time to fish to see if they can catch something, instead of just watching the fun here.
Wu Weimin, Xu Tianhua and the people around them were all stunned for a moment, then turned around and rushed back to their respective fishing positions to concentrate on fishing.
Shi Jiehua took the pliers and handed them to Gao Zhicheng, took off the hook, pushed the car over, pulled the fish away and sent it to the cold storage before returning to the cab.
Shi Jiehua took his own thermos cup, unscrewed the lid, drank a few sips of hot tea, lit a cigarette on the chair he was sitting on, and watched Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin and others fishing on the deck.
"Is it very easy to catch the catfish here this time?"
Shi Jiehua thought for a while, then took the walkie-talkie and contacted He Jian, Shi Zhongwei and two other fishing boats, telling them that the fishing boat had now caught a large eelfish weighing more than 80 kilograms.
Shi Jiehua didn't say much. After chatting for a few words, he put down the intercom and continued to stare at the people like Gao Zhicheng fishing on the deck. At the beginning, he really felt that it was very easy to catch a big squid this time. At least he could catch a big fish. I caught fish, but as time went by, I found that things were not that simple.
“Is it possible that it’s still so difficult to catch the catfish here?”
"Is the one Gao Zhicheng caught just a domestic cat that encountered a dead mouse?"
Shi Jiehua's brows tightened.
He Jian glanced at Shi Jiehua's fishing boat, which was vaguely visible, and looked up at the clock without looking back. It had been almost an hour since Shi Jiehua's fishing boat caught the first fish. He hadn't seen Shi Jiehua for almost an hour. Talk about catching the second fish.
He Jian shook his head. Needless to say, there must be no one behind the fish, otherwise Shi Jiehua must have told him loudly through the intercom.
"well!"
"Looking at it like this, it's really not easy to catch a big owl!"
“If you want to make money, it’s more cost-effective to catch such a small owl.”
He Jian shook his head. A 180-pound catfish is indeed very valuable, but it's all in vain if you can't catch anything. People like Wu Dabin and Wu Xiaobin who go out to fish to make money are now pulling in one fish after another. Even though they are only ten or a hundred pounds or twenty pounds, they can definitely make money, and they can make a lot of money. Only People like Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin, who are not money-makers, would gamble on a giant owl weighing 180 kilograms.
He Jian waited for more than an hour and the intercom did not ring. There was still no one on Shi Jiehua's sea fishing boat fishing for the second big owl.
He Jian thought of the matter that he and Shi Jiehua had discussed about extending the sailing date for the next trip to sea. Whether this matter could be resolved would depend on the opinions of people like Wu Dabin and Wu Xiaobin.
He Jian called someone over to help him take a look at the fishing boat, left the cab, went up to the deck, and walked next to Wu Dabin, Wu Xiaobin, Ouyang Hua and Liu Yun.
As soon as Wu Dabin, Wu Xiaobin, Ouyang Hua and Liu Yun saw He Jian, they immediately asked Shi Jiehua if his fishing boat had caught a 180-pound giant eel.
"Yo!"
"Didn't you tell me that you can catch this small catfish weighing ten to eight pounds or twenty or thirty pounds here?"
He Jian told Wu Dabin and Wu Xiaobin last time that when he was waiting for Shi Jiehua's new sea fishing boat to arrive here, he thought that he could try fishing for big owl. At that time, Wu Dabin and others refused, saying that they were old people. It would be more profitable to stay here and fish for small fish. Now that Shi Jiehua's fishing boat is really coming here to fish for big fish, his idea has changed again.
"He Jian."
"Aren't you talking nonsense?"
"If Shi Jiehua and his fishing boat really catch a giant eel weighing 180 pounds, why don't we try our luck?"
"If we can't catch it, we definitely won't go there. It's a waste of time."
Wu Xiaobin refuted He Jian confidently.
He Jian smiled and said that Shi Jiehua's sea fishing boat did catch an owl with a big head, weighing over 80 kilograms, but he only caught one.
"Wu Xiaobin."
"Do you want to go there to catch the big owl? If you want, we can pack up now and drive the fishing boat there. Maybe we can actually catch it!"
He Jian looked at Wu Xiaobin and said a few words directly back.
Wu Xiaobin shook his head like a rattle without thinking. It has been almost three hours since Shi Jiehua's sea fishing boat left here. He Jian said it very clearly just now. Shi Jiehua caught a croaker on the sea fishing boat, but only one.
There must be fish in the sea, but they definitely don't bite.
You have to know that there are 42 fishing spots on Shi Jiehua's sea fishing boat, which means that 42 people are fishing, and only one was caught in three hours.
If you are not a person like Gao Zhicheng who goes out to sea to fish just to catch big fish, you will definitely not waste it there all the time. The croakers that people like us catch here are indeed smaller, but you can make more money by fishing all the time.
"He Jian!"
"You old fellow clearly have bad intentions and are using us as guinea pigs."
"If the big croakers on Shi Jiehua's fishing boat are really that easy to catch, why doesn't Shi Zhongwei's fishing boat go there to fish?"
Liu Yun pointed at Shi Zhongwei's fishing boat not far away. It was parked motionless and showed no intention of fishing for big croakers. The boat was full of people hired by Shi Jiehua and He Jian to help fish. If the croakers weighing 100 to 80 kilograms were really that easy to catch, they would have gone there long ago.
"Hahaha!"
"Shi Jiehua and I are just running a small business!"
"We hired so many people to go fishing on the boat, and the salary is not a small expense. Add to that the food, drink, and toilet expenses, and the pressure is too great."
"Whether you can catch a big croaker is not important. What's important is that you can catch fish. As long as you work hard, you can definitely make money."
"You pay for your own fishing. The more you catch, the bigger the fish you catch, and the more money you make, right?"
He Jian couldn't help laughing as he spoke. None of Wu Dabin, Wu Xiaobin, Ouyang Hua, and Liu Yun, who have been deep-sea fishing for many years, are fools.
However, what he said was not wrong at all. If he and Shi Jiehua really thought that big croakers were very easy to catch, they would have called Shi Zhongwei's sea fishing boat to go fishing. Now it's motionless, which clearly shows that he and Shi Jiehua are not optimistic about making money by fishing big croakers.
As He Jian was talking, he carefully looked at Wu Dabin, Wu Xiaobin, Ouyang Hua, Liu Yun and other people who had booked other fishing spots. It must be said that the size of the croakers caught was not too big, but there were really fish that kept being caught.
He Jian took out the cigarette from his pocket, walked around, and smoked a cigarette for everyone at each fishing spot. He returned to Wu Dabin, Wu Xiaobin, Ouyang Hua and Liu Yun and started talking about serious things. He asked if he and Shi Jiehua should book a fishing spot if they extended the boat schedule for the next trip.
"Ah?"
"Is this true? Do you and Shi Jiehua plan to extend the boat schedule? One and a half months or two months?"
Wu Dabin couldn't help but shouting when he heard what He Jian said.
In the past ten years, almost every trip of ours took a month. Even if it was longer, it would not be much longer. Generally, it would only be extended by three to five days, and at most ten days. Moreover, it was only extended when there were no fish or the fishing was not good. It was not a formal trip.
He Jian said that the trip was set at one and a half months or two months at the beginning, which was completely different.
"Shi Jiehua and I have discussed this matter."
"For a one-month sailing schedule, the round trip time is really too long, which is very uneconomical."
"In the past, there was no way to book a month, but no one wanted to go for such a long time. Another reason is that not many people booked fishing spots on sea fishing boats."
"Now there are a lot of people booking fishing spots on my and Shi Jiehua's sea fishing boats."
"If everyone really wants to go for one and a half months or two months, then we can just go for one and a half months or two months from the next trip."
He Jian did not hide anything and directly told Shi Jiehua what he and Shi Jiehua thought. Doing so is good for him and Shi Jiehua, as well as for Wu Dabin and other people who book fishing spots to go out to sea.
For a one-month sailing schedule, you have to go back and forth once. For two sea trips, you have to go back and forth twice, which adds up to four trips.
If it is a long-term two-month trip, you only need to go back and forth once during the two months of fishing, which saves a lot of time, and you can spend more time on fishing, and have the opportunity to make more money.
"Ha!"
"Is there any need to say this? If it's a one and a half month sailing period, it will definitely be of great benefit to us!"
"No."
"I think we should not do a one and a half month sailing period, just a two month sailing period."
Liu Yun was a little excited.
If you can't catch too many fish by going out to sea with other sea fishing boats, a one-month sailing period is much more advantageous than a two-month sailing period. One is that the sea fishing boats you can go on are different, and different boat captains may have the opportunity to catch more fish. Another is that changing a fishing spot or a fishing route may get more fish.
But Shi Jiehua and He Jian's sea fishing boats are different from other people's sea fishing boats. Don't look at the route they run and there is no big difference with other sea fishing boats. They are even exactly the same. The fishing spots are also exactly the same, but the spots are different. They are all set by Zhao Dahai, and the chance of catching fish is very high.
In this way, the longer the sailing time of each trip out to sea, the more benefits it will bring to the people who have booked the fishing spots.
Liu Yun agreed without thinking.
"He Jian!"
"There is no need to ask other people about this matter. I can guarantee that everyone is 100% hoping for a two-month sailing time."
"Let's do this the next time we go out to sea!"
Ouyang Hua pointed to the people at other fishing spots around him and directly guaranteed that no one was a fool and could see the benefits of doing this.
"Okay!"
"If you all think this is okay, and if you are willing to book a fishing spot, I will discuss it with Shi Jiehua and ask Zhao Dahai for his opinion. If there are no problems, the next trip out to sea, the sea fishing fleet composed of me and Shi Jiehua will have a two-month sailing schedule."
He Jian smiled and nodded. Wu Dabin, Wu Xiaobin, Ouyang Hua and Liu Yun are willing to book a fishing spot, and Shi Jiehua and I will definitely extend the sailing schedule.
He Jian returned to the cab, picked up the intercom and immediately talked to Shi Jiehua about the matter.
"Ha!"
"Wu Dabin and others are all smart people, they know how to calculate, they know that two months of sailing is more beneficial to them."
"I can't disagree!"
"He Jian."
"Our sea fishing boats are now running at the spots set by Zhao Dahai. Almost all of them can catch a lot of fish. The longer the time, the better."
Shi Jiehua smiled. Wu Dabin and others are all experienced people, and they know what's going on as soon as they hear it. They know very well that two months of sailing is more beneficial and can make more money. He Jian and I will be fishing for two months. If the news about the deep sea is spread, more people may want to book a fishing spot.
"Let's go back and discuss it with Zhao Dahai. If he thinks it's okay, we'll decide on it."
"That's right!"
"It's been almost three or four hours, and no one has caught the second big croaker?"
He Jian is very concerned about whether Shi Jiehua's sea fishing boat has caught the second big croaker.
"Alas!"
"Gao Zhicheng has already caught a big croaker weighing more than 80 kilograms on the first cast."
"I thought it would be easier to fish this time, but I didn't expect that it's been more than three hours and there's still no second fish."
"It looks like we may not be able to catch the second croaker in the next few days."
Shi Jiehua sighed when he heard He Jian asking about this, feeling helpless and depressed.
