The entire ocean is my fishing ground.

Chapter 61 The main course is yet to come.

Are you sure you don't want cash?

"Mr. Huo, in my current situation, no matter how much money I have, it's just a string of numbers that could be frozen at any time."

"I need an account that can flow freely; that's more important than any number."

Huo Zhenxiong understood.

He only said one sentence.

"Activate the trade wind channels immediately."

The phone hangs up.

Less than an hour later, Lin Chen's phone vibrated slightly, receiving a text message from an overseas encrypted server.

Thirty million.

US dollars.

The money was transferred quietly through the Huo family's offshore channels.

"Thank you, Elder Huo."

Lin Chen stood up and bowed slightly.

"I'm the one who should be saying thank you."

Huo Zhenxiong leaned on the table and said with emotion.

"You gave me time, and I'll give you support. Use it to clear away everything that's in your way."

Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony any further and turned to leave the club.

He chartered a car and drove overnight to a science and technology development zone in a neighboring province.

On the way, he used 500 points through the system to exchange for a technical blueprint.

【Deep-sea high-pressure micro-circulation ecological chamber (complete manufacturing process and material formula)】

At the same time, he used the newly arrived funds to acquire a marine equipment manufacturing company that was on the verge of bankruptcy but had a complete production line and skilled workers.

……

Meanwhile, in the provincial capital.

On the stage of the annual summary meeting of the Aquatic Products Chamber of Commerce, Shao Kun was in a good mood.

He held his red wine, looking down at the group of bigwigs from the province's aquatic products industry, enjoying their awe-inspiring gazes.

Lin Chen has been crushed to death by him, his bank accounts are frozen, the Poseidon has been sealed off, and even Chu Tiankuo has severed their cooperation.

What can a village boy who was ruined by him still do?

Next, they would divide up the market share left by Lin Chen and turn the entire seafood supply of the provincial capital into the Shao family's domain.

Shao Kun cleared his throat and spoke loudly.

"Everyone."

"The market needs order, and the cutthroat competition needs to stop. From today onwards, I, Shao Kun, guarantee that seafood prices in the provincial capital will enter a more stable phase..."

Before he could finish speaking, his secretary turned pale and rushed onto the stage in a panic.

"Chairman Shao... Chairman Shao..."

The secretary whispered in his ear, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

Something...something happened.

"What's the panic?"

Shao Kun frowned and reprimanded in a low voice.

"Is the sky falling down?"

"It's worse than the sky falling down."

The secretary was on the verge of tears.

"Just now, Marriott, Hilton, and InterContinental, our three largest hotel clients, called at the same time and unilaterally... tore up their supply contracts with us."

The smile on Shao Kun's face froze.

"What?"

He almost thought he had misheard.

"Tear up the contract? Why?"

"They said...that they found a new supplier."

"Who?"

Shao Kun's voice suddenly rose, and everyone in the audience looked over.

The secretary stammered out a name.

"Dragon Spine Ocean Shipping... Lin Chen."

boom.

Shao Kun's head buzzed.

Lin Chen?

The man he forced to the point where he couldn't even leave his boat? What would he use to supply himself? His beat-up speedboat?

"impossible."

Shao Kun was furious and shoved his secretary aside.

"His accounts have been frozen, so how can he buy goods? How can he make transactions? This is just bluffing, trying to scam me."

He immediately took out his phone and dialed the numbers of the heads of the Health Bureau and the Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau.

"Old Zhang, Old Li, immediately take your men and equipment and come with me to the Marriott Hotel. I suspect someone is using substandard smuggled seafood to disrupt the market and endanger food safety."

A ruthless glint flashed in Shao Kun's eyes.

He wanted to make sure Lin Chen could never recover in front of all the media.

……

Half an hour later, in the lobby of the Marriott Hotel.

Shao Kun led a large group of law enforcement officers and stormed in aggressively.

The hotel lobby manager tried to stop him, but Shao Kun pushed him away.

"Get out of the way. We are conducting a joint enforcement operation today. Anyone who dares to block our way is obstructing official business."

Inside the lobby, all the guests were drawn to the area.

At the center of the crowd, a figure stood quietly.

He wore a well-fitting black suit, replacing his previous cheap windbreaker, which gave him a cool and aloof demeanor.

It was Lin Chen.

Behind him stood a massive, high-tech metal container. The container was made of a special alloy, and its front was a single, thick piece of tempered glass, through which one could see the deep blue seawater flowing slowly.

"Lin Chen, you dare to show your face again."

Shao Kun pointed at Lin Chen and shouted sternly.

"You think you can pull off some kind of magic trick with just a broken box? Let me tell you, nobody can save you today."

Lin Chen looked at him, too lazy to even reply, and simply nodded to the hotel manager beside him.

The manager immediately understood and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"We can begin."

As soon as the words were spoken, all the spotlights in the lobby instantly focused on the mysterious metal cabin.

In front of everyone, Lin Chen pressed a start button on the side of the mobile cabin.

"Buzz—"

After a soft start-up sound, the lights inside the mobile cabin came on.

Looking through that huge tempered glass, everyone gasped.

Inside the container, it was clear that it was not an ordinary aquarium.

It simulates a complete deep-sea ecosystem.

In the deep blue water, tiny bubbles slowly rise from the bottom, forming miniature ocean currents visible to the naked eye. Several large grouper, mouse grouper, and even a wild yellow croaker as long as a forearm are swimming freely in it.

Their state was unlike that of seafood that had been caught; rather, they seemed to be taking a stroll in their own backyard.

"What...what is this?"

"My God, the scales of those fish are even shinier than the ones I just saw at the dock."

"This water... seems to be flowing?"

The crowd gasped in surprise.

Shao Kun was also stunned, but he immediately sneered.

"Pretending. Who knows how many banned stimulants and chemicals you've added? Old Li, get the equipment ready and test it carefully. I'm going to put him in jail for life."

Director Li of the Quality Supervision Bureau immediately waved his hand, and several staff members in white coats carried forward sophisticated testing instruments, extracting water and fish samples from the water intake of the mobile cabin.

The scene was completely silent; everyone held their breath.

Shao Kun crossed his arms, a cold smile on his face, awaiting the verdict of death for Lin Chen.

However, five minutes passed.

The elderly expert in charge of the testing stared intently at the data on the instrument screen, his forehead covered in beads of sweat, and his hands and lips trembling.

"How is it? Is it too high?"

Shao Kun urged impatiently.

The old expert looked up at Shao Kun as if he were a monster.

He held up the test report in his hand, his voice trembling.

"Chairman Shao...this...this water quality, its purity...is even higher than international drinking water standards."

"What?"

"And...and this too."

The old expert pointed to another set of data, his voice almost groaning.

"The live cell index and ATP content of the fish samples... are... 300 percent higher than the data of the live samples we just detected on the ocean-going fishing vessel."

Upon hearing this number, Shao Kun turned pale and retreated step by step, muttering to himself.

"Impossible...this is impossible."

Just then, a familiar voice rang out at the lobby entrance.

"Nothing is impossible, Mr. Shao."

Chu Tiankuo strode in, accompanied by more than a dozen owners of high-end restaurants from various major restaurants in the provincial capital.

He didn't even glance at the dejected Shao Kun, but walked straight up to Lin Chen with a warm smile on his face.

"Brother Lin, you played that move brilliantly! I've truly seen something new today."

He turned around decisively and shouted to the group of bosses behind him.

"Everyone, the facts are right before our eyes. With Brother Lin's deep-sea ecological capsule, what we sell to our customers in the future will not be any kind of chilled or frozen goods, but truly live creatures that have just been pulled out from hundreds of meters deep in the sea."

"From today onwards, all cooperation between Yunhai Pavilion and Shao's Aquatic Products is terminated. We will also sign an exclusive premium supply agreement with Longji Ocean Trading Group."

"Our Hai Tian Lou restaurant followed suit."

"And our Banyan Tree."

"Count me in. Mr. Lin, the contract is here, let's sign it now."

The dozen or so restaurant owners who had previously been very polite to Shao Kun now all surrounded Lin Chen, vying to sign the supply agreement.

Shao Kun looked at the import and export quota document in his hand, which he had just been showing off and which bore the official seal of the Chamber of Commerce. Now it seemed as ridiculous as a piece of waste paper.

He was trembling all over, his face was ashen, and he could barely stand.

Lin Chen walked up to him with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Shao, please calm down."

"This is just the beginning; we've only collected some interest."

"The main course is yet to come."
