Chapter 963: Following the Footsteps of Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang

Liu Lei and Yang Qin drove slowly away from the dock, returned to Hongyun Restaurant, unloaded the fish, and returned to the office on the second floor.

"What's wrong?"

"Thinking about the shop at the dock?"

Yang Qin looked at Liu Lei while boiling water for tea. He hadn't said much on the way back just now. He looked very worried. Needless to say, he must be thinking about the shop at the dock.

"Yeah!"

"Thinking about this!"

"But there's nothing I can do. I really don't have any money."

"It's not that I really don't have any money, but Hongyun Restaurant needs to keep some cash in order to operate. This can't be moved. The building under construction requires a lot of funds."

"We really don't have much money to use!"

Liu Lei was indeed thinking about the shop at the dock. He was calculating all the way, but he couldn't figure it out.

"There's nothing we can do about it! No one can catch so many fish and make so much money like Zhao Dahai. The key is that there is no cost pressure for such a large amount of money."

"Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang can do whatever they want."

"Ding Xiaoxiang is unlikely to do a serious business in the future. I will just collect rent or sell the fish caught by Zhao Dahai. It's not like us. We have to run a restaurant. As long as we run a restaurant, we have to take out money and there is cost pressure."

"When business is good, we can make a lot of money. When business is bad, we have to lose money."

"Ding Xiaoxiang's business is serious and only makes money."

Yang Qin poured a cup of freshly brewed tea in front of Brother and Liu Lei.

Zhao Dahai or, to be more precise, what Ding Xiaoxiang is doing now is different from running Hongyun Restaurant or selling fish, shrimp and crabs in the fish market. Whether it is the business on the ninth floor or selling fish, shrimp and crabs in the fish market, there is cost pressure.

To build a building or buy a shop in a place like a pier, as long as you pay the money, the rest does not cost anything.

The shops in the building are for rent, and the shops at the dock are for self-use or rented to others.

No matter which one, the rent can be collected steadily, at least there is no need to continue to pay out money.

Others can't do this. Only people like Zhao Dahai who go fishing and catch a lot of fish have plenty of cash in hand, so they can do it.

"You are right."

"Ding Xiaoxiang will probably buy, buy, buy next!"

"Other businesses will not be done at all!"

"Shops in good locations like Shijiao Village Dock, or good locations of docks in other villages, or something else, places like county cities, as long as they are shops or other things worth investing, they may be bought."

"As long as there is money and enough cash in hand, I will buy more and more."

"Ding Xiaoxiang doesn't need to do anything else, just manage these things, and live in them and you can eat a lot of oil."

The more Liu Lei thought about it, the more he felt that Yang Qin was right, and Ding Xiaoxiang would do this next.

"What can we do? Dahai can make money continuously as long as he goes out to sea. If we don't do business and run Hongyun Restaurant, we won't make any money and will just sit back and eat up all the money."

Yang Qin sighed. This is not greed, or envy and hatred of Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang making so much money, but seeing that Ding Xiaoxiang does this and it is good to do so, but she doesn't have the ability to do so.

"Hey!"

"Why can't we do this? It's just that we can't do it so quickly!"

"The money earned from Hongyun Restaurant should be kept in cash for daily use. For the rest, we can think about learning from Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai and buy what we need."

"Especially this building in the center of the town. The rent collected after it is built does not need to be used for other things. Just use it for this!"

"If Sister Xiaoxiang and Brother Dahai buy ten stores, we can always buy one store."

Liu Lei thinks that what Ding Xiaoxiang did is very good. He does not have enough money in his hands, so he certainly cannot follow her step by step, but he cannot stop doing it. When he has money, he will learn to buy some stores, or other assets. After a dozen or twenty years, the assets in his hands cannot be compared with Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang, but they are definitely more than others, and much more.

"Yes!"

"This is indeed a good method. After a long time, you can leave a family property for your descendants. If you don't do business in the future or can't make much money from business, then just don't do business and just collect rent."

Yang Qin's eyes lit up when she heard Liu Lei say this. This is indeed a good idea.

"Brother Dahai and Sister Xiaoxiang are both smart people."

"If we don't have such vision or ideas, then just follow what Brother Dahai and Sister Xiaoxiang do!"

"It will definitely not be a loss."

Liu Lei was very proud. This idea he came up with was definitely good.

"Okay!"

"Let's do it this way!"

"In that case, this building in the town really needs to be built as soon as possible so that it can be rented out, so that we can collect rent and make money!"

Yang Qin thought of the building under construction. Zhao Dahai's idea has always been to build it as soon as possible. Now, this idea is even more important.

"Right!"

"Anyway, we have to invest money. We must hurry up to build it. Only by investing money can we make money quickly. This is very important for us."

Liu Lei agreed with Zhao Dahai's view. We must hurry up to build this building. The longer we delay, the greater the cost.

Langtou Village Wharf.

Zhao Dahai, Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Shi stayed in the cab.

Liu Lei and Yang Qin had already driven the seafood truck back to the town's Hongyun Restaurant. Shi Guangming left the fishing boat to inquire about the store.

"Are you two really planning to buy the store?"

Zhao Shi looked at Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang while smoking a hookah.

"Yeah!"

"Second Grandpa."

"If you rent someone else's shop, you must pay rent every month. The money you pay is useless. It's better to spend more money to buy it!"

"If you don't have money, you can only rent it, but Zhao Dahai can catch fish and make money now, so it's more cost-effective to buy it."

Xiaoxiang nodded.

When Zhao Shi said this, he must have felt that he had to spend a lot of money all of a sudden and was worried about not having money to spend, but this was not a problem.

The 4,000 kilograms of grouper just sold were enough to buy a good shop here.

"Okay!"

"You two have to do the math, and you must keep some money in your hands. You can't just use the money to buy shops or build buildings."

"No one can tell when you will need money. Don't wait until you need money and you have shops in your hands, or you can't use money for other things."

Zhao Shi reminded Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang, and then stopped talking about this matter.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Are you going out to sea to fish tomorrow?"

"Where should the fishing boat stop?"

Ding Dawen looked at the sea in the distance. The weather was very good. If he didn't go out to sea today, he would definitely go out to sea tomorrow. He had to ask clearly where he should wait for Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai thought about it and told Ding Dawen to wait in the island and reef foam area tomorrow.

"Tomorrow, Uncle Shizhu and I will go to the artificial island and reef."

"If the main purpose is not fishing but to scan the spots, it is estimated that the fish caught are relatively few. It doesn't matter whether your fishing boat goes out or not. However, just in case, you may be lucky enough to catch more fish."

Zhao Dahai will go out to sea with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Da and several others tomorrow, but the real purpose is not fishing but to scan the spots. In this way, the chance of catching fish, especially catching a lot of fish, is not very high. It doesn't matter whether Ding Dawen's fishing boat goes out to sea or waits for him, but there is no need to stop at the dock. It is better to go out to sea without going to other places, just the island and reef foam area.

Ding Dawen nodded and agreed. Tomorrow morning, his big fishing boat will go to the island and reef foam area.

"Second Grandpa."

"Do you want to go back to Langtou Village with me? We have been out for several days."

Zhao Dahai looked at Zhao Shi. He came here today, not by speedboat but by motorcycle. If Zhao Shi wanted to go back, he would send Ding Xiaoxiang back to the village first and then come here to pick up Zhao Shi.

"Why is it so troublesome? Aren't you going out to sea tomorrow? Just pick me up and go back to the village when you come back."

Zhao Shi shook his head without thinking. There was nothing else to do in the village, so he might as well stay on the fishing boat. Shi Guangming would definitely come to the fishing boat later, and the two of them would get something to drink.

"Okay!"

"Then it's settled!"

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang left the fishing boat, went to the dock, and rode a motorcycle to leave Shijiao Village.

Night fell.

Shi Guangming was holding a bottle of wine in one hand and a few bags in the other, all of which were filled with braised meat.

"Are the other dishes, especially the fish soup, ready?"

Shi Guangming shouted at Ding Dawen as he got on the fishing boat. He had basically not eaten at home during this period, especially at night, he would sleep on the fishing boat.

"Ha!"

"How could it not be ready?"

"I put the cages in and caught a lot of fish, and some shrimps and other things. I'll cook them all tonight."

"There's plenty of fish soup, and some fried small fish or braised prawns. Tonight's appetizers are incredible."

Ding Dawen took the wine and dishes from Shi Guangming's hand while talking, and did not go anywhere else, but put them directly on the deck, turned around and went to the kitchen to get other dishes, two large basins, one of which was the fish pond, and the other large basin was the braised prawns and other fish. He called a few other people, took chopsticks and other things, sat on the deck, and drank and ate.

"Ah!"

"This life is really enjoyable."

"For those of us who have been at sea all our lives, where can we stay at home? We must be on this fishing boat."

Shi Guangming sipped his wine, reached out and picked up a prawn, peeled the shell and took a bite.

"Right!"

"Ding Dawen, you are just starting out and are not used to life at sea. You think life at sea is not as good as life on land, but in five or ten years, you will get used to it."

Zhao Shi took a sip from the bowl of wine, picked up the hookah next to him and took a puff. The sea breeze was a little hot and a little cold.

"Ha!"

"Second Grandpa."

"Grandpa Shi."

"Going out to sea to fish or fishing is a bit tiring for you two, but it's relaxing to stay on this big sea boat. You can come whenever you want."

"Anyway, we won't go too far every day. Big fishing boats are bigger and more stable. There's no need to put out fishing nets or fish. You can eat, drink, and sleep."

"Don't I have nothing to do on this fishing boat? If you two come, you can talk to me, or tell me what to pay attention to when going out to sea."

Shi Guangming took a bowl of fish soup and placed it in front of Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming.

"Hey!"

"You've already become a master, so there's no need for us two old men to say anything."

"It's just driving a fishing boat, not going out to sea to fish. Why do you need to learn anything else?"

Shi Guangming took a sip of fish soup.

Ding Dawen didn't need to do anything else, just drive the fishing boat to pick up the fish caught by Zhao Dahai and then sell the fish. For Ding Dawen, this matter has long been familiar to him. He and Zhao Shi have been staying on this fishing boat for a month, especially in the past half month, just to get used to this life, to put it bluntly, it is to kill time.

"To be honest, I am now a little accustomed to life on the sea. If I went out to work before, it would be very tiring, and it was not something I could do. Now it's different. It's very easy to watch the fishing boat."

"It's very difficult for me to deal with others with my personality."

"Now this job is the most suitable for me."

Ding Dawen is very satisfied with his current job. The money is not too much, but not too little. The key is that he can really do it, and it is very easy and enjoyable.

"Yes!"

"This job is indeed more suitable for you. You don't need to deal with others. You just need to do your job well."

Zhao Shi smiled. Some people would think that it is very boring to just go out to sea every day and then wait, and they are unwilling to do such things. But for people like Ding Dawen who are more introverted, this is the best job.

"Yo!"

"Why are there fishing boats coming back at this time?"

"Could it be Shi Jiehua and his team coming back?"

Zhao Shi was sitting right in front of the wide sea. He saw the lights of fishing boats coming in from a distance. At first, he didn't pay much attention, but after drinking a few sips of wine and talking a few words, the lights were getting closer and closer. The distance was not too far, and he could see clearly that there were five fishing boats lined up in a row. At this time, there would generally be no other fishing boats coming back from the sea. It was very likely that it was Shi Jiehua and his team's fishing boats.
