"These are minor matters, but you need to buy the boat first, and then contact me when you're handling the transaction. I'll tell you who to contact then."
Zhou Miao was overjoyed to see Yu Muzhou's reply.
Sure enough, finding someone influential locally can quickly resolve these procedural issues.
After replying with a thank-you message, Zhou Miao opened his bank card to check how much money he had.
Including today's income of 23,000, my savings have reached 165,000.
To catch threadfin bream, you need to buy a boat that can go out to sea to cast nets. Even a ten-meter boat costs around 200,000 yuan, which is definitely not enough for him.
"We still need to consider second-hand fishing boats."
Fishing boats have strict restrictions on their fishing range, making them less convenient compared to fishing boats.
Zhou Miao estimated that he wouldn't go fishing too often, so he should save money where possible.
Just then, the workers came to work one after another. When the last worker, Master Sun, arrived, he took them by boat to the fish raft, and then went to Luo Hao's place.
There's no point in supervising today; let them slack off if they want. Fishing tonight is more important!
Zhou Miao greeted Luo Qianqian, who was sitting and live-streaming, and then headed straight for the kitchen.
Luo Hao was steaming fish for a customer when he saw him arrive, and was somewhat surprised: "Why did you come in person? Have you made a decision?"
"I just contacted Brother Zhou, and he said I need to buy a boat. He'll put in a good word when I'm processing the paperwork and get someone to speed things up so I can get the certificate today."
"I'm asking you where I can buy a second-hand fishing boat for offshore fishing, and the price needs to be reasonable."
"Brother Zhou is awesome!" Luo Hao exclaimed, surprised that things had taken such a turn for the better.
It would be best to be able to fish yourself without giving away any profits.
He knew where to buy the boat, of course, and was about to say that he would take him there when he was done with his work, when a thought suddenly struck him.
If I also buy a boat, wouldn't that maximize my profits?
Even if the profits from this trip don't cover the cost of buying the boat, given Zhou Miao's luck, there will definitely be similar opportunities in the future.
Whether a person can turn their luck around sometimes requires a huge gamble.
Moreover, this is a lottery where half the answer has already been revealed, so the chances of winning are even higher.
"Ah Miao, could you ask Brother Zhou for me if I want to buy a boat, can the paperwork be expedited?"
"Two boats will catch more fish, and I'll give you 50% of the profits so you can earn more."
"Otherwise, if it's just one boat and everyone splits the money, the actual amount received will definitely not be very satisfactory."
Luo Hao was right, but Zhou Miao didn't expect him to offer her 50% of the profits. That was quite a lot of money.
If he hadn't known that the system wouldn't expose him, he would have thought that the other party already knew about this, which is why they had the audacity to board his "big ship".
"Are you sure? This might not be a small amount of money. Besides, the fish left this morning, and it's uncertain whether they'll come back tonight."
"Haha, things won't just disappear once they're bought and left there. If you don't have a chance this time, there's always next time, right?"
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."
Zhou Miao sighed inwardly, realizing that he could bring Luo Hao along whenever he had information about the fishing season.
Instead of considering the number of fish first, as we did this time, before deciding whether or not to bring him along.
After steaming and delivering the fish that the customer had caught, Luo Hao quickly took Zhou Miao to the second-hand fishing boat market.
It's actually a large dock, with almost all the fishing boats moored along the shore.
These ships all looked very old, like antiques.
However, when I asked about the price, it was still quite high.
Zhou Miao took a fancy to an 18-meter-long fishing boat with a cabin, but the agent quoted a price of 550,000 yuan.
"These ships can go to the open sea, they're not our target. Let's find those small boats, they're cheaper." Luo Hao pulled Zhou Miao along, and they arrived at an area where a group of small boats were moored.
"These kinds of ships can go to the open sea?" Zhou Miao was a little speechless. Aren't these ships just enlarged versions of his own small boat?
There isn't even a sunshade!
"Most of the boats that go fishing in the open sea are these kinds of boats, since the distance isn't far. They can just set up a few nets, haul them in, and come back to sell the fish. They're also equipped with net hauling machines, which can set up large gillnets," Luo Hao explained.
Zhou Miao waved his hand: "Forget about the big sticky net for now, you know what we're here for tonight."
"It's all the same. Our budget is limited, so buying this kind of boat is the most cost-effective. We also need to buy fishing nets, which will cost a lot of money."
""
"Okay, then I'll buy this one."
Zhou Miao was a complete novice when it came to fishing, and he sought Luo Hao's help to choose a boat and fishing net.
He said that if this kind of ship was feasible, then Zhou Miao wouldn't object.
Luo Hao was in charge of selecting fishing boats and negotiating prices. After all, he was a fisherman who had become a fish farm owner, and he knew all the tricks of the trade in fishing boats.
However, we need to buy the ship as soon as possible, so we can't take our time negotiating the price.
In the end, Zhou Miao spent 110,000 yuan to buy a fishing boat that wasn't too old overall.
Luo Hao chose a similar boat, but because it was newer, it cost 10,000 yuan more.
The designated fishing area for both vessels is in the open sea, and their main fishing method is netting.
Secondly, you can use either hooks or fish traps, but the tools used must meet the regulations. Simply put, equipment that is designed to kill animals cannot be used!
The boat has all three required certificates, but since it's a second-hand boat, the fishing license doesn't need to be renewed; you just need to go through the transfer of ownership.
Zhou Miao called Yu Muzhou, and then took the original owner of the boat to complete the transfer of ownership.
In less than two hours, all the procedures were completed and the transfer of ownership was successfully completed.
Zhou Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief; he could finally go fishing tonight.
Once the boat and fishing license were secured, the next step was to buy the nets, specifically the three-tiered floating nets.
One of these nets is not very large, generally about five meters high and fifty or sixty meters long, with some larger ones reaching over a hundred meters.
If there are few fish, you can pull them in by hand; if there are many fish, you can use a net-hauling machine.
Zhou Miao and Luo Hao each bought thirty nets, all of which were floating nets, each 5.4 meters high and 58 meters long.
One net costs 450 yuan, so 30 nets would cost 13,500 yuan.
So many nets have managed to surround Sanshi Reef.
Zhou Miao and Luo Hao invested a considerable amount of money to catch these threadfin bream.
But as long as each post goes viral, they can not only recoup their investment but also make a fortune.
When the two returned to the fishing raft, Luo Qianqian was stunned to see that they had each taken a boat.
"Did you rent a boat?"
"Keep your questions to yourself for now, we'll talk about them tonight."
Luo Hao glanced at the curious customers watching from a distance and whispered to his sister.
Luo Qianqian immediately realized that the two had a secret, and even though she was very curious, she didn't ask any more questions.
"Qianqian, go find Xiaoxiao and go with her to the market to buy some food and drinks. We're going out to sea tonight," Zhou Miao whispered, seeing that she understood.
"Okay, I'll go right now." Luo Qianqian nodded and steered the small boat away from the fish raft.
Zhou Miao didn't go buy it himself because he and Luo Hao still had work to do.
The fishing nets need to be properly prepared before being lowered into the water to ensure they can be smoothly lowered when the boat sets sail at night. He needs to learn this from Luo Hao.
Fortunately, it was already 4:30 pm, and the customers left after a while. After Luo Hao took the people ashore, he returned and focused on tidying up the fishing nets.
