Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 537 Rural People's "Success"

He plans to buy a better business laptop for business trips.

Although the chairmanship is given to Liu, he will definitely have to be responsible for some external affairs and deal with many people in the early stages.

This includes helping four agents establish warehouses, developing new markets for fishing gear, and going fishing trips, among other things.

The first half of next year will definitely be even busier.

Going out fishing is purely for personal enjoyment. It's so satisfying to travel all over the country and catch big fish everywhere.

On the way back, I made a special detour to Scarface's place and bought two mandarin fish to make up for Yan Yan not getting to eat mantis shrimp yesterday.

Wild mandarin fish are really hard to find. Although there are resources in the water in the city, the city is more densely populated.

According to Scarface, the number of people fishing with electricity has suddenly increased this year.

Many people can do this by spending a thousand or so dollars to buy a battery. With fish prices high now, they can make a lot of money in one night.

In the afternoon, after putting the child to sleep, Qin Dahe went to his father-in-law's house to check the inventory of fishing floats and deliver 50,000 yuan as payment.

This job is equivalent to Qin Dahe paying his father-in-law over 10,000 yuan a month to help him collect the goods.

And it was easy; the old carpenters would finish a batch and then come by car to deliver it to him for inspection.

"Grandpa, I brought you a mandarin fish." As usual, when he arrived at the door, he took out a Black Pine cigarette for himself, and the rest were for his father-in-law.

"Haha, come and sit down first." He chuckled and pulled the person to the carpenter's workshop, giving the fish directly to his mother-in-law.

"We have 3,000 units in stock now. Your shipments are supposed to start in September, right? We'll drive over and pick them up later."

"Okay, they're waiting for it over there."

Holding a deck chair, Qin Dahe sat down at the workshop entrance, found a comfortable position, and began to talk about stopping the retrieval of the floats.

After the September harvest, we'll stop buying. Then comes the off-season for fishing gear, and it's all about spending real money to clear out inventory.

Inventory will be set up after the factory is built, and shareholders will spread the costs.

"Once the factory is built, you'll have to come and take charge of the float production. Auntie will move there to take care of the two children."

"Move now?" To be honest, the elderly couple would be more than willing to live with their two grandsons.

It's so lonely with just the two of us at home. It's so lonely that we've started to make do with whatever we eat, and one pot of rice can last for several days.

Although Yan Yan was the same when she was in college, at least she could look forward to people coming back, and her mood was different.

“Yes, once the warehouse is emptied, you can live in the small room downstairs in the new house. Auntie will take care of the children, and you can go to the factory to help with the work during the day.”

He spoke of exploiting his father-in-law and his wife with such ease.

We talked about retirement when we were discussing marriage two years ago. Now that the factory is almost up and running, it's the perfect time to bring her over.

With two babies at home, it's unrealistic for my mother to do all the housework and take care of the children by herself. When my husband and son are busy, I can hardly see them.

The old carpenter immediately called his wife over.

"What's wrong?" The auntie came over after wiping herself off; she had just been cleaning fish. "Just tell me what's wrong. Such good fish needs to be cleaned properly."

A mandarin fish costs forty or fifty yuan; you have to eat it fresh to justify the price.

"Your son-in-law wants us to move in ahead of schedule, what do you say?"

Qin Dahe explained the situation: there were hardly any people in his fourth branch of the family, and the processing plant couldn't possibly hire people from the other three branches, so he could only ask his father-in-law to keep an eye on things.

My mother-in-law also has to help take care of the baby at home.

"Is it going to work? Have you discussed it with Lan?" The aunt asked with some concern.

In the past, we were living under someone else's roof. If there was any argument or something, it wouldn't look good to slink back home.

It's not too late to move there when we get old and can't work anymore.

"It's alright. You guys stay at the new house. The main problem is that my mom can't manage it all by herself," he said with a smile. "I've already talked about this at home."

My father-in-law has a skill and can help with work at the factory, so he doesn't care about these things and is very confident.

It's normal for a mother-in-law to have concerns.

But her own mother wasn't unreasonable, especially since Yan Yan was a college student and had given birth to twins; there was no reason for them to argue.

Two are enough for them to take care of.

“My business is going to be very busy next year. My grandpa and dad will both have to stay at the factory for a long time, and the little boy will have to keep running around. It’s not good for you to stay at home alone.”

"Alright then, let's stay here for a while." Since the son-in-law had put it that way, how could he refuse?

After finishing his business, Qin Dahe went back.

The weather was perfect for lying in the shade, and he couldn't contain his excitement at the thought of going to Shenzhen soon to go sea fishing.

I'm even a little reluctant to go freshwater fishing.

In the carpenter's workshop, after Qin Dahe left, the couple began to discuss moving there.

“Old man, after we move in, this house can’t be left unused. Let’s spend tens of thousands of yuan to build a bungalow.” “Build a bungalow?” The old man was taken aback, then suddenly understood. “We really need to build one.”

It's fine to stay at your son-in-law's house, but you also need to make sure your own home is in good condition so that if there's an argument or something, you can go back to your own home in no time.

“I’m making a lot of money now, and Dahe is giving me subsidies on purpose. Let’s get a better one, so we can leave more land for Qingsong to build in the future.” He nodded solemnly.

"Yes, it can leave something for Qingsong."

Grandpa went to the city in June to do a big job and made a fortune. He's been making a lot of money lately, and his son-in-law just brought over 50,000 yuan as payment for goods.

The elderly couple became more and more excited as they discussed it. Building a new house here would allow them to go to their daughter's house to take care of their grandson. It couldn't be more wonderful.

"This son-in-law is really well-chosen," the old man exclaimed.

If you put your father-in-law in your house, you could easily afford to take him in and spend so much money without the daughter having to subsidize him.

“Let me tell you, when you go to the factory, keep a close eye on Dahe. He’ll be Qingsong’s successor from now on.”

"Of course, my in-laws are capable and reliable. We'll definitely keep a close eye on things."

On his way back, Qin Dahe encountered the village chief mediating a conflict.

When he saw him coming over, Second Master's eyes lit up.

"Dahe, it's perfect that you're here. Help me out." As if he had found a savior, Qin Dahe was now incredibly arrogant.

"What happened? Everything was fine just now!" he asked in surprise. There was no argument when they came over after dinner.

"That's right, that old man insists on extending half a meter over my house. In the future, my house will be crushed."

When the Yang family built their new house, it had to be half a meter further forward than the second master of the Qin family's eldest branch.

Who would agree to this? When the foundation was being dug, the second uncle found out and immediately came out to argue.

Although the Yang family is a prominent clan, the Qin family is not to be trifled with either.

It's one thing for everyone's ceiling height to be different, but the front of all the houses is just a straight line. Forcing it forward by half a meter is pointless except to annoy people.

"Old Yang, are your family members desperate to get ahead?" The village chief had a headache; there were quite a few of these kinds of futile attempts.

"What's it to you if I build a house?" Old Yang glared at Second Master. "You Qin people make your fortune off Qin Dahe, so if you've got the guts, stop me from building a house."

"So everyone's going to build houses like this from now on?" the village chief said angrily, though he felt helpless.

The current village officials have power, but not much, especially in large clans like these; they simply can't manage them.

"Whoever has the money can do it. I left a three-meter path, that's enough for everyone." Old Yang sneered and turned to let the workers dig.

Building a house forward is fine, but you must leave a three-meter-wide path, otherwise the village will demolish your house.

Second Master immediately became anxious and grabbed Qin Dahe, saying, "Dahe, our family has been bullied, you can't just ignore it."

The fourth branch of the family is now powerful enough to be the main branch, and he wants the fourth branch to take the lead and suppress the Yang family.

"It's alright, have a smoke first." He chuckled and took out a Black Pine cigarette to smoke.

These kinds of petty things happen in the village every year. My dad never used to get involved in these things; he was very happy with his large plot of land at the entrance of the village.

However, he did need to intervene, so he said to the village chief, "This is not our fault; they started it first."

"What are you going to do?"

“Just build a road out of the town. It’s simple. Second Master, you build a three-meter kitchen at the entrance. I’ll pay for the road. Just take a detour.”

Before the second uncle could figure it out, the village chief immediately intervened, "Isn't this just ridiculous? Does making the road crooked and twisted look better?"

"It's like the road is straight now. Hey, that guy surnamed Yang is awesome. If he keeps building it forward, I'll fill in the outer river." Qin Dahe curled his lips. Isn't that how the village roads were made, winding and meandering?

Your house has half a meter more, my house has one meter more, if the Bund isn't enough, we'll move to the town.

In the end, the outer river of the town was reduced from a large river to a small ditch.

"Second Master, do you have the money to set up the kitchen?" It's impossible to let his family pay for everything; otherwise, everyone would take the opportunity to cause trouble. I'll just build my own Bund.

It didn't take much effort; Erhu's excavator could finish it in half a day.

"I'm sure we have the money. I'm relieved to hear that." Second Master was overjoyed. He pulled it out two and a half meters longer and said, "Let's see how the Yang family rises to prominence."

"Okay, I'll have my dad come over tonight."

After saying that, he ignored what others said, lit a cigarette, and headed home. That was all he could say about the matter; Qin's father still had to intervene.

"Damn it, you think you're so tough? Let's see what you're going to do now." After he left, the village chief glared at Old Man Yang.

What a bunch of idiots! The Qin family is raking in money like gold and silver, why would they bother with some nonsense?

Having said that, he decided to ignore all this nonsense, as long as a fight didn't break out.

The remaining members of the Yang family had gloomy faces. A kitchen was two and a half meters away from them, and they were still not up to any good.
