Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 120 Long Distance Call

Before leaving at noon, Qin Dahe asked Yanyan to help him stew his meal. It was really convenient to ask her to do it.

Unfortunately, the couple did not come back at noon, so he could only eat some pickles.

He stared at the rice in the bowl, but he really couldn't eat it because it was too plain.

After thinking about it, he went to the main road to buy a portion of salted duck. When he came back excitedly with the duck, he saw the couple coming back in the motorboat.

The boat was piled high with corn and bran, and as soon as it docked, they called him to help unload the cargo.

"Here I am, I'll put the duck away."

He smacked his lips and realized that it weighed at least five or six thousand kilograms.

"Dad, where did you get this? You got so many."

"Chen Wan, I'm going there to pick up the goods again today, and no one dares to say anything." The old man said arrogantly.

"Driving to make a delivery this afternoon?"

"Well, send the corn away, and keep the bran for now. When we get more, we can send it over by boat together."

The house is very spacious now, and both rooms can accommodate any space.

Qin Dahe also rode a motorcycle tricycle over, loaded the bran directly onto the tricycle, and then rode it to the new house and piled it in the small room on the east side.

"This car is great and very convenient." Mother Qin touched the car with satisfaction.

"Mom, go and fry some vegetables first. Dad and I will come and move the goods."

The father and son laboriously carried bag after bag of corn onto the tricycle. They had to deliver them to the feed factory in the afternoon, so they just carried the corn and stacked it directly onto the tricycle.

By the time the father and son sat down at the table, my mother had already fried the vegetables very quickly.

"Why is the rice so watery today?" Qin's mother was a little confused. Although her son was not good at cooking, he was good at cooking rice.

Most children in rural areas know how to cook. When the adults in the family are busy in the fields, they have to cook the rice in advance.

Qin Dahe lowered his head and ate with a guilty conscience. He was already ordering his wife around before she even got married. I was definitely going to beat him up.

Yanyan's family has no land, so her mother cooks all the meals, but she can't cook them all in one go.

When I was about to feed the dog after dinner, he stopped me and said, "Mom, I fed the dog with bait when you were not home."

"What a waste! We have leftovers at home. Why feed them bait?" The mother glared at him.

Qin Dahe chuckled. He was not the only one who fed the dogs with bait. Those who stole the robes were also fed into pigs.

This poor dog is very smart. When I was working in the utility room, it went to act like a spoiled child. While acting like a spoiled child, it used its head to butt the bait bag, and then it could have a full meal.

"By the way, what's my uncle's phone number? I have something to talk to him about." Qin Dahe suddenly remembered that he still had a Huanghuali box that he hadn't sold.

He is not sure about the price now, so he still needs to ask his uncle.

"It's in my bag, go look for it yourself."

When I got to the room, I found the phone number and dialed it immediately.

"Hey, uncle."

"Abao?"

"Well, uncle, how are you feeling lately?"

"It's been a while since you last called me, now that I remember you, just tell me what's going on."

Qin Dahe smiled awkwardly. It was true that he rarely contacted his uncle, but it was expensive to make calls, so his mother usually didn't allow him to do so.

"Do you know what the current market price of Huanghuali is?"

"Huanghuali?" The uncle on the other end of the phone was stunned. Why did his nephew ask this?
"It's about 200,000 to 300,000 per ton here. I don't know the exact price, but there are a lot of Huanghuali trees for sale here. Do you want to buy some?"

"My childhood friend from the same village is selling a Huanghuali wood box with ghost face patterns. The wood looks good to me, so I have to help him sell it."

"I can't do that. The companies I deal with are all electronics-related."

"Oh, as long as you know the price, I'll go to Jiuzi to sell it."

"Whatever you want. I just happened to hear you call, and I have something to tell you." The uncle said with a smile, "You're getting married after the New Year. Is there anything you want?"

"Made a lot of money?" Qin Dahe knew something good was going to happen when he heard the tone. It was around this time in his previous life that his uncle started to make a fortune.

"I met a fellow villager from Wuwei who makes batteries. He placed an order worth 600 million yuan with me. I can get yuan in commission alone," said my uncle excitedly.

This is the largest order he has received since he started working, and he has exceeded his annual target for this year. When the order came in, the customer knew that he and the customer were from the same hometown, so they arranged for him to continue to communicate with them.

"Is your surname Wang?"

"you know?"

"Haha, we in Wuwei all know about it now. He has made a fortune. The local TV station often reported about it some time ago." Qin Dahe chuckled.

Now is a time of great change. The Internet is rising, industry is rising, and all kinds of influential figures are emerging.

My uncle is now gradually entering that class, but I don’t know why he resigned later.

What is more famous in Wuwei outside the area now is the Wuwei nannies, that is, mostly hourly workers and confinement nannies, but the wealthy people who are doing well in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are what the county cares about most.

Every year, Anhui Q TV reports in my hometown, and then sends people to other places to contact these big bosses, asking them to return to their hometown to invest. Unfortunately, few people come back, and for those who come back, their investments are almost wasted.

"What's the use of reporting? Only doing practical work can keep people here." My uncle obviously knew all these things and said with disdain.

"What do you want? I have to give you something big for your wedding. My brother-in-law took good care of me back then."

"How much is it?" Qin Dahe's eyes lit up. This was not the later times where there was online shopping, and many things could not be bought even if one wanted to.

"About ten thousand. Your aunt will definitely not object." The uncle waved his hand. He is very arrogant now. His luck has changed this year. His annual income is almost reaching five hundred thousand.

With so much money, you have to think carefully about what you want.

He didn't bother to be polite with his uncle. The two families had become one, and at most he would just wait until his cousin got married before repaying the favor.

"Uncle, I want an MP3 and a camera. The total cost should not exceed , right?" he asked guiltily.

The camera is for recording current images so that I can look back at them when I am old, and the MP3 is for Yanyan.

The silly girl never refuses him, and she was very willing to help him today, so she just accepted the MP3 as a gift.

Nowadays, imported MP3 players cost one or two thousand yuan, but in the future, they will only cost a few dozen yuan each.

"Okay, I'll buy you some parallel imported goods, which are of good quality and cheap." My uncle said with a smile, and then explained that parallel imported goods are not junk goods, but those that come in by water, and are the same as the genuine goods, except that they have not passed customs inspections.

Qin Dahe naturally knew all of this. In later generations, Huaqiangbei was a concentration of parallel imports. How could his uncle not be exposed to this after so many years in Shenzhen?

At this time, Qin's mother came in and gestured to give her the phone.

"Thank you very much, uncle. My mother wants to talk to you." After saying that, he ran away with a guilty conscience.

He's been on the phone for four minutes, and it costs 1.6 yuan per minute. If I see the call time, I will definitely beat him up. A pack of Double Happiness cash is gone just like that.

And my uncle also has to pay for two packs. Now the roaming fee is charged on both sides, which is really unfair.

Sure enough, when I came out, I looked at him with unfriendly eyes.

Qin Dahe held Feifei in his arms without saying a word. He said, "Just wait until we move over and it will be fine." Feifei seemed to sense the murderous intent, and the big orange cat suddenly jumped out of his arms.

"Why are you still asking your uncle for things? You're such a grown-up, but you're acting like a child."

"My uncle got rich this year, so it's normal for my nephew to get some of his help." He said righteously.

"What did you want? Rong Xiang doesn't want to tell me either."

"I just want a tape recorder for Yanyan."

"Well, remember to call on time next time." The mother glanced at him sideways. Her son didn't tell the truth again.

But now that the child is older and about to get married, she can't be too strict.

The old man talked to her about this issue on the boat today. The couple have noticed the changes in their son during this period. Except for being a little greedy, he is very mature in other aspects.

It’s okay to let her curse a few times, but don’t hit her. After reflecting on it, she seemed to be doing so.

So she didn't hit him today, and in the future she won't hit him unless his son makes a serious mistake.

In fact, Qin Dahe really enjoys the current living atmosphere, which is much better than the chaotic life in big cities in the future.

I'll beat him if I want, and it would be best if I could wait until he's old and still beat him. How happy it is to have both his parents still alive.

Qin's father went to deliver the goods. In the afternoon, Qin Dahe was still working hard to make the spare parts himself. The workload of the motorcycle tricycle was still not small.

Erhu and his team welded the truck bed quickly and are now busy working on the tricycle.

"Dahe, do you want to lengthen the bench as well?"

"Jia, don't think it's too much trouble. It's just two pieces of wood. Don't think it's easy. Just do the work you're paid for."

The labor cost for sealing the front of the car is only 30 yuan, so of course we have to do it as quickly as possible. For jobs with higher profits, we have to do the work beautifully.

The same goes for his motorcycle tricycle. He used an angle grinder to smooth out the rough edges of the angle steel.

"Can I make 200 from this car?" Tiedan asked curiously. The materials alone cost several hundred dollars.

"About that. If you two can complete the task independently and pass my review, I'll give you half. If you need my help, you can only get 80."

Erhu looked at the three-wheeled vehicle with a painful look on his face. They had only learned it for a few days, so it was good enough if they could finish the job independently. Perfect delivery was simply nonsense.

It doesn't matter whether they make money or not. They didn't plan to make much money when they learned the craft.

Qin Dahe chuckled and continued to work on his task. This car was a small test for them.

In the afternoon, Hanwaer gave me some crucian carp seeds again. It seems I got a lot.

Qin Dahe calculated that there were more than 3,000 crucian carp in the pond. He decided to set out the nets after the New Year and see if he could find any weighing 300 grams. He would pull them out and sell them first.

Crucian carp grows fast in autumn and winter, and the crucian carp fry he released are not small, so they can be sold in three months.

He was afraid that the density would be too high and the crucian carps would flip over in the pond, even though he had invested so much money.

If he wanted to put in an oxygen pump, he couldn't bear the electricity bill, which would cost at least several hundred yuan a month, and these fish were worth very little.

Now that the individuals are small, the dissolved oxygen level in the pond should be barely sufficient.

The next day, when he went to the old carpenter's house, he was turned away. Yanyan said she was unwilling to come to his house at all, as she was really bullied yesterday.
Qin Dahe had no choice. He couldn't kidnap the man in front of the old carpenter.

The kid started his apprenticeship again today. The wood has arrived, and the carpenter will start to get busy next.

Unable to get what he wanted, he could only go back to work.

Feeding fish, modifying tricycles, and even helping my mother kill ducks.

Last time he said he wanted to eat fermented duck, so Qin's mother only took the time to pickle it today.

"You're the only one who knows how to eat. After we kill the two ducks at home, there's nothing left."

"Make the best use of them. They can't lay eggs."

"We'll have to wait until Chinese New Year to eat them. We only have six chickens left for Chinese New Year, so we'll have to buy some meat dishes then."

She felt sad when she thought about how her son had wasted a lot of things after coming back, so she decided to raise more next year.

After Yanyan got married, there was one more mouth to feed in the family. If she got pregnant, no matter how many chickens she had, there would not be enough food.

Thinking that she would soon have a grandson, Qin's mother couldn't help but smile.

Qin Dahe was stunned. How could he be happy about killing a duck? Hey!

"Mom, Sang Biao threw a dead mouse into my room again today."

"Just throw it away. Just throw it again. Don't let it see it."

"Why?" Qin Dahe had a question mark on his forehead. He couldn't even let the cat see it?
"A kitten catches a mouse for you to win your praise. If you throw it in front of it, it won't catch it next time."

"Is that so?" Qin Dahe pondered for a moment. According to Sang Biao's character, he probably felt that his status in the family was too low, so he sent the mouse to him.

The four little ones at home are all doing well at the moment, except that Sang Biao occasionally scratches him.

"Daha, the tricycle is assembled, come and take a look." Erhu came over excitedly to take credit.

"That's pretty quick." He chuckled.

When their skills improve in the future, they can just outsource the work. He's tired of welding these days.

This morning when I was driving my car, I received another order to seal the front of the car. It was so annoying.

"Add two angle steels to the rear of the truck bed. This side is not under stress and the welding is easy to break. Punch holes in the angle steels and hammer the screws flat." He pointed to the welded surface at the rear of the truck.

"This kind of big three-wheeled vehicle vibrates violently, and the road conditions must also be considered. Holes need to be drilled and screwed into the front of the vehicle."

"Look at these iron plates, weighing 200 kilograms. Can your welds withstand the vibration?"

"What should we do then?" Both of them looked unhappy.

I originally thought that this independent production was well done, but I didn't expect so many problems.

"Cut the iron plate, re-drill and weld it."

"Oh."

This time is a test for both of them, and it seems like they are still a little short of it.

When modifying a car, you must not only consider getting the job done, but also the subsequent issues.

The countryside is not a big city. There are countless complaints to be harvested, so if he makes two or three mistakes, there will be fewer people.

The reputation here is spread by word of mouth. When people have nothing to do and get together to play cards or chat, they talk about these topics. After a while, business can no longer be done.

This small workshop is making a lot of money now, but that's just for now. He remembers that in a few years all the big tricycles coming out of the tricycle factory will be sealed.

Once a business makes money, people will follow suit and start to roll it up, just like a flower-making factory.

The assembly of the big three-wheeled vehicle couldn't be simpler. He could do it if he built a factory.

It is nothing more than a replica of a tractor, with the tractor head replaced by a cab, but the principle remains the same.

I just don't want to be so tired, so I'll just take some idle orders for Erhu and the others at home occasionally. When the weather gets warmer, I can go out and fish.
