Chapter 90 Tonight, I'm treating all the big shots in the city to fish!
Zhou Dazhuang lay on the outer casing of the generator set, tapping and twisting.
"Boss, this warehouse has a solid foundation; it's just that the previous owners didn't do their jobs properly and emptied it out. Give me three days, and I can get it running again."
Sun Heizi was a little annoyed. He walked over to Lin Chen and said...
"Boss, what's next? Should I take some men and clear this pile of junk out first?"
Lin Chen shook his head and glanced in the direction of the dock.
There are several exclusive berths belonging to the Shaw Group, currently vacant, but in excellent locations.
"Hei Zi, you stay here and work with Da Zhuang to recruit new people here. Don't take any of those who used to follow Liu Qiang and had shady dealings. Also, keep a close watch on the warehouse."
"Okay."
Upon hearing that there was something important to do, Sun Heizi immediately patted his chest and agreed.
After giving his instructions, Lin Chen turned around and walked down the warehouse steps, speaking to his father who was following behind him.
"Dad, let's go to Black Wind Bay."
Lin Jianguo was stunned for a moment.
Blackwind Bay?
The fishermen of Huangni Village all say that place is a forbidden zone. The nautical charts are covered with skulls, representing countless shipwrecks. The area is full of reefs, has treacherous currents, and when the wind and waves come, waves three to five meters high can easily smash small fishing boats.
But he just nodded, asked nothing, and went to check the ship's cables and anchor.
An hour and a half later, the twelve-meter-long Pioneer cut through the waves and entered the outer perimeter of Blackwind Bay.
The sky had darkened sometime earlier, and the sea breeze howled across the deck, carrying a salty, damp smell.
The ship rocked violently.
The sea, which had been relatively calm just moments before, was now churning with black waves, which were crashing against the ship, threatening to capsize the Pioneer.
Lin Jianguo tensed his muscles, gripped the helm tightly, and stared intently ahead.
The nautical chart was already in his head, but with this awful weather, no amount of experience was of any use.
Dark, jagged rocks would occasionally peek out from the waves, only to be quickly swallowed by the next. The Pioneer navigated through the reefs, and one wrong step could mean certain death.
Lin Jianguo's forehead and palms were covered in sweat.
He had spent his entire life at sea, and this was the first time he had ever willingly ventured into such a godforsaken place.
"Hard to left, straighten in three seconds."
Lin Jianguo instinctively turned the steering wheel sharply.
With a creak, the boat narrowly missed a newly emerged reef.
The oyster shells on the reef scraped against the bottom of the boat with a harsh sound.
Lin Jianguo's heart was in his throat.
"Hold on, maintain course, we've arrived."
Lin Chen's voice rang out again.
The Pioneer sailed past the dangerous reefs and entered a calm area of water where the surrounding waves immediately subsided.
Lin Chen glanced at it and saw that it was the location marked on the system map.
He put on his diving suit, strapped on his oxygen tank, and plunged into the water.
puff.
It was very dark underwater, and I couldn't see anything.
The undercurrents pulled at his body from all sides, trying to sweep him toward the sharp rocks.
Lin Chen used his waist and abdomen to exert force, and with a side turn, he dissipated that force.
He ignored the turbulence and dived straight down.
Twenty meters.
Thirty meters.
At a depth of 32 meters underwater, beneath a hidden underwater cliff, he finally found the narrow, long trench.
His pupils contracted slightly.
A fiery red shadow flashed past in the crevice of the reef.
Eastern Star Spotted ...
It is a rare wild-caught grouper.
Lin Chen steadied himself and quietly approached.
In the trench, a dozen or so grouper were swimming slowly.
Each one is over a meter long, and the red fish has blue spots on its body that gleam in the dark.
These fish are very alert. As soon as Lin Chen approached, they immediately noticed him, and the school of fish panicked and was about to escape.
Once this type of fish is startled, it becomes very difficult to catch it again.
They are also particularly prone to dying from stress; using harpoons or rough fishing nets will only yield a bunch of dead fish, causing prices to plummet.
Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry.
He slowed his breathing, stopped in the water, and lost all aggression, his primal marine affinity quietly activating.
A gentle aura emanated from him.
The grouper that had been scurrying around gradually quieted down.
As they swam around the trench, their speed slowed down, and their previously taut fins relaxed.
The time has come.
Lin Chen opened the specially made soft net and pressed the controller on his wrist to activate the ecological cabin's live water flow system on the Pioneer.
A comfortable ocean current extended down from the bottom of the Pioneer, weak but precisely covering the entire trench.
The large grouper hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist the allure of the comfortable current. They tentatively swam over and, unsuspectingly, swam into the net that Lin Chen had spread out.
One, two, three... Lin Chen wasn't greedy; after catching eleven, he decisively closed the net.
Eleven tails.
When Lin Chen surfaced with a net full of live fish, Lin Jianguo was pacing anxiously on the deck.
Seeing that his son was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief and rushed over to help, using a winch to hoist the heavy net onto the deck.
As soon as the net was opened, eleven bright red grouper swam lively into the live water tank. The blue spots on the fish's bodies shimmered in the light, leaving even veteran fishermen like Lin Jianguo stunned.
He had never seen such a large and beautiful wild grouper in his entire life, let alone a living one.
He pointed at the fish in the live water tank, unable to utter a coherent sentence for a long time.
"This...this..."
On the return trip, the Pioneer sped along.
Lin Chen took off his diving suit, dried his wet hair with a towel, and stood at the bow of the boat, the sea breeze blowing his clothes.
He picked up the satellite phone and dialed a number.
The call was quickly connected, and Tang Zhen's respectful yet anxious voice came from the other end.
"Boss Lin."
On the other end of the phone, Tang Zhen was so anxious that he had blisters on his lips. With Shen Man's downfall, the high-end goods supply to the provincial capital would be cut off. He knew better than anyone that Lin Chen was the only one who could save them now.
Lin Chen looked at the coastline that was gradually becoming clearer in the distance, his tone calm.
"Mr. Tang, are you free tonight?"
Tang Zhen's voice revealed an impatience.
"Yes, yes, absolutely. What are your orders, Boss Lin?"
Lin Chen smiled.
"I've set up a table at Boss Su's Fisherman's Song Restaurant. I just caught a few grouper. Let's invite...everyone over."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, in the general manager's office of the Marriott Hotel, Tang Zhen held the phone and suddenly stopped breathing.
All...people?
This is hardly a dinner party.
Hearing the busy tone on his phone, Tang Zhen felt a surge of excitement and stood up from his chair!
