Chapter 482
For everyone, the gains from the first three nets are considered normal performance. Anyway, as long as you follow Zhao Qin, every net is very enjoyable.
After following him for a long time, they probably couldn’t drive the old cat away with sticks. One of the reasons was naturally because Zhao Qin was generous and gave too much, so much that they felt a little guilty just for trying so hard.
Secondly, if there is such a kind of sea cargo that can be hauled up by other ships in a single net, and a sea haul worth several thousand yuan is hauled in, is this net hauled in?
Generally speaking, people will have such thoughts.
Everyone was full of expectations, thinking that if they could make a big splash with the fourth net, it would be better to net a few more large yellow croakers or simply net a group of large yellow croakers. However, when the net was pulled up, everyone was stunned.
empty!
That’s right, the net is empty, not to mention the big yellow croaker, there are only a few shrimps hanging on the edge of the net.
This net was collected by Ajie and Ahe. They didn’t pay much attention to it when they collected it. Only now did they realize the problem.
“Impossible, how come the net is empty?”
“There’s something wrong with the net bag.” Old Cat made a judgment immediately.
I thought it was because the rope of the net had opened, and the pillar was so tense, because the rope of the last net was the last one he closed.
As a result, when the net bag was hoisted closer, it was found that the net rope was well tied, but the entire net bag was like a piece of rag, with thousands of holes in it, and there was no possibility of repairing it.
“Brother Cat, are you cheating?” Ahe asked with a frown.
Everyone is in a very depressed mood. Not to mention that they have lost a net of fish, and now they can’t even use the net.
The old cat did not reply in a hurry, but checked the closed net again and found that there were also several large holes. After observing for a while, he shook his head and said: “It’s not hanging, it should be hit by some fish.”
“My dear, why is the fish so powerful that it can break the fishing net?” Awang asked in confusion.
“There are too many, I can’t guess.”
Zhao Qin cursed secretly. His thousands of merit points were just wiped out. But now others can lose their temper, but he can’t. He looked at everyone with a smile: “A network is not worth much, but fortunately I have a backup.” Yes, let’s change one together.”
Old Mao nodded, “Aqin, go and change your brother’s hand. You can stop the engine for a while, just let it float, and then we can change the net.”
Old Mao cannot change the net alone. Among so many boatmen, apart from him, only Zhao Ping and Zhu Zhu know a little bit.
Zhao Qin agreed and took over the helm.
It was very troublesome to change a trawl net on the ship. It was almost midnight when this net was pulled up.
By the time the new net was replaced, it was already two or three hours later. The old cat breathed a sigh of relief and informed the ship to start launching the net again.
“Aqin and I are on duty all night, let’s go to bed.” Old Mao always felt a little uneasy, so he took the initiative to stay and watch.
The others entered the cabin. Zhuzi knew he couldn’t sleep, so he lay down on the bow of the boat with all his clothes on. Seeing this, Ah Ce also lay down on the side. He said there were six cabins, but in fact there was another one owned by Zhao Qin.
They won’t occupy it.
Zhao Qin looked at the luck value of the system. The new day was even better, with 78 points. It seemed that there would be another big harvest on the new day.
“Aqin, I’m here to hold you for a while. You need to sleep for a while.”
“It’s okay, Brother Cat. Is it possible that the old network is not repaired?”
“If you really need to repair it, it will be more troublesome than buying a new network. It is equivalent to refurbishing the entire network, so it is better to buy a new one.”
Zhao Qin didn’t care about the cost of repairing the network, but he was also afraid that the renovated network would not receive the system’s luck value. He sighed inwardly, so he might as well go back and buy a new one from the system.
Lao Mao didn’t want to continue this depressing topic and took the initiative to change the topic:
“Aqin, I bought Lao Cai’s boat more than five years ago. I think it cost about 11 million at that time. There are four shareholders in total, and one of the shareholders is a relative of Lao Cai.
He was also the one who pulled the strings. The other two bosses invested money. These three people all had their own main businesses. If Lao Cai really made a judgment, he would definitely not be able to find a suitable person to take over the ship for a while. ”
“How much do you think we can get?”
“I don’t know. This depends on the market situation of steel, that is, the price of new ships, and the market space.”
Zhao Qin nodded. Boats are different from cars. It can take as little as half a year to book a boat, or it may take five or six years to book a boat. Therefore, second-hand boats are quite popular.
Of course, fishing boats will not fluctuate as much as ocean shipping. When ocean shipping is booming, second-hand boats are hard to find. Some of them are not very old, and the quotations are even higher than those for new boats, but they are still unavailable.
As for how much Lao Cai’s boat is worth, it depends on whether there is competition. If there is no competition, he doesn’t think the price will be high.
“By the way, do you know about the other fishing boat?”
“That boat is longer, probably about eight years old. It has exactly the same specifications as Lao Cai’s boat. The price will definitely be lower then.”
After chatting for a while, Zhao Qin also had a firm idea in his mind. Lao Mao didn’t say anything.He also planned to ask on the way back.
After a while, the hands changed, and Lao Mao drove the boat. Zhao Qin glanced at the display screen. Maybe the route this time was closer to the north, so the water depth was always limited.
Just like now, the water depth is only more than 80 meters. The area is actually the same as the island. It can be reached by more than two hours of sea travel to the south, but the water depth is at least 40 meters different, which is also strange.
Although it is difficult to catch deep-sea fish, there are also valuable goods in shallow waters.
At dawn, Lao Mao called everyone to collect the nets.
Zhao Qin yawned. If the harvest was average, he planned not to participate in the sorting and call Lao Mao to catch up on sleep.
Zhao Ping rubbed his face and came to the wheelhouse to take over the steering job. Zhao Qin and Lao Mao came to the deck.
Awang yawned and walked out. He felt that he had just laid down, but he had to get up. At this time, he realized where the real tiredness of going out to sea was.
It was exhausting!
Although the work is not heavy, there is no time to sleep a full night. Unless the boat stops, it is a break in the busy schedule.
Hearing the sound of the capstan turning, Lao Mao frowned and came to the stern. This net is still wrong.
Zhao Qin’s experience is not enough, so he naturally can’t distinguish the subtle changes of the capstan, but seeing Lao Mao’s serious face, he also followed to the stern.
It was dark when the net was collected last night, so it was not clear, but now the sun has half appeared, the visibility is enough, and the net pulled up can obviously see a big hole.
“Suck your mother, damn, the net is broken again.” Zhuzi, who was always good-tempered and was collecting the net, also cursed with a cold face.
“Damn, don’t let me know what did it.” Ajie standing on the other side also cursed.
A Ce wanted to say, do you still want to go to the sea to fight it now? But it is obviously inappropriate to say this now.
Everyone’s mood fell to the bottom at this moment. The last net was broken. Although everyone was angry, they all knew that there was a spare net.
But now there is no spare net, which means that if this net is broken and cannot be used, then everyone can only go home.
Although there are three nets of harvest, they can also sell for nearly one million, but this time there is a week of good weather, and everyone came out with the idea of bursting the cabin.
When the net bag came up again, everyone’s only remaining hope was shattered. Just like the last net, the net bag was empty and could not be used at all.
Seeing this situation, several people stood in a row and cursed at the sea.
The old cat sighed bitterly, picked up the net again, and then slowly shook his head at Zhao Qin, “It’s more damaged than the last net, and it can’t be used at all.”
As this sentence fell, everyone’s eyes turned to Zhao Qin. At this moment, they were all waiting for his decision, or to see if Zhao Qin, who has always been omnipotent, had other ways.
