Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 539 Departure to Shenzhen
At the end of August, because I was going to Shenzhen, all four distributors shipped the goods ahead of schedule.

On the 31st, a large group of people were called up to load the truck.

Four agents, thirty-five tons of goods, all handled manually – it was truly exhausting.

Qin Dahe thought to himself that he must buy forklifts after the factory is built, otherwise the factory will have to hire people to carry goods.

The funds have arrived, and after deducting the rebate, I have another 400,000 yuan in income.

Fishing tackle sales are doing quite well now. In August, it helped him earn 120,000 yuan. Including bait, his total monthly profit exceeded 400,000 yuan.

After the goods were delivered, the remaining bait and fishing gear were stored in the warehouse, and the new house was emptied again.

My mother-in-law and father-in-law are planning to move in the fall because they are rebuilding their house, which will free up space for them.

Upon learning that the elderly couple were going to live with their son-in-law, Qin Dahe's reputation was once again brought up, highlighting his meticulous approach to life.

In most families, the most they would do for their father-in-law is give him a meal when he is unable to move. In rural areas, this is considered normal.

He married Yan Yan, and his father-in-law, who was only in his fifties, brought her to live with him. He was incredibly generous.

Moreover, the elderly couple is quite interesting. They lived in a mud house for so many years and couldn't bear to repair it. But this year, after moving to their son-in-law's house, they started building a new house instead.

They were originally scheduled to leave for Shenzhen on August 31st, but due to shipping issues, it was delayed. Qin Dahe and Xiao Liu finally boarded the plane on September 1st.

This time I truly managed to travel light, as everything I needed to bring was sent over by express delivery in advance.

His aunt had prepared a complete set of daily necessities, so he didn't have to worry about anything.

When I boarded the plane, I had only a black plastic bag in my hand, which contained ten black pine branches.

My uncle said they couldn't buy these in Shenzhen, so he brought them with him. He could go without clothes, but he couldn't run out of food.

When I went through security, everyone was stunned. I was going on a long trip with nothing but a bunch of cigarettes?
Fortunately, they were all original and unopened, otherwise I would have had to check them all.

The flight from Nanjing to Shenzhen was quite fast. Just as I finished my in-flight meal and started craving a cigarette, the announcement that we were about to land came on.

As the plane passed through the clouds, the view below became visible. The area around the airport, perhaps because it was still undeveloped, showed no signs of being bustling.

He could see a large expanse of water at the mouth of the Pearl River, but only on his side, as the plane came from the north.

Upon landing at Bao'an Airport, Xiao Liu skillfully led Qin Dahe to the parking area.

"Xiaoliu, you've been here before?"

"Hehe, I've been here a few times." How can someone in his line of work not come to Shenzhen? It's the largest electronics hub in the country.

"When I first came here, this place wasn't called Bao'an Airport; it was called Huangtian Airport."

"Why did you change the name now?" Upon reaching the exit, Qin Dahe took out a cigarette and lit it; he had been feeling really stifled on the plane.

The two finished their cigarettes first; the pick-up point was still ahead.

"In Guangdong, Huangtian sounds the same as Huangquan (the underworld), which is probably because many people died in an accident and that's why it was changed."

"Wow, people here are really superstitious," Qin Dahe chuckled, as if that was indeed the case in Guangdong.

To accomplish something big, you need to have a good omen; only people from Guangdong would set off firecrackers in an office building.

"By the way, how old are you? I've always called you Little Liu, Little Liu." He asked curiously. It must have been two years ago when I flew to Shenzhen. The CD workshop was still open last year.

However, the other person has a baby face and looks about the same age as Qin Dahe, or even younger, so that's why they've been calling him that ever since.

"I'm 26 this year. I was only 20 when I graduated from university and started working at Lenovo."

"Awesome." Graduating at 20 and getting a job at a big company—that's something most people can't do. "Why did you come back to open a workshop?"

"It's nothing. I just left because I wasn't happy staying here. If I do a good job on this deal this year, I plan to open my own company in Shenzhen, specializing in electronic products."

After finishing their cigarettes, the two walked towards the airport arrival area.

Qin Dahe took out his phone and called his uncle to confirm the location.

"Just come to the parking lot. Don't tell me you don't recognize the Mercedes-Benz W14. I specially washed it today."

"Hehe, I'll be right there." He hung up the phone with a smile and quickened his pace.

Tiger Head Ben, that's awesome, especially in this day and age.

There were also people harassing them on the street, trying to get them into a car. Unlicensed taxi drivers in Shenzhen must make more money.

Ignoring these people, the two went straight to the parking lot. As soon as they arrived at the entrance, they saw a conspicuous Mercedes-Benz W14 parked on the side of the road, its logo shining brightly.

The uncle, with a diagonal scar on his face, leaned against the railing. His contradictory charm—a blend of roguishness and refinement—made him incredibly attractive. Qin Dahe, with his sharp eyes, noticed several young girls stealing glances at him.

Rich, tall, handsome, and with a great physique—aside from being a bit older, he's practically the perfect ideal partner.

Even being old is not a disadvantage in this day and age.

"Uncle." Qin Dahe waved with a smile, and the two walked over. "This is my friend, you can just call him Xiao Liu."

"I know, you told me about him, a top student, right?" The uncle was clearly in a good mood. He greeted them, and the three of them got into the car.

He doesn't have a personal driver; it's not that bad yet.

Xiao Liu knew that Qin Dahe's uncle was doing quite well, but she didn't expect him to be a big boss who drove a Mercedes-Benz. Moreover, judging from his demeanor, he was not simple, so she had the idea of ​​befriending him.

If you want to establish yourself in Shenzhen, you need to make more friends.

The father and son chatted non-stop in the car, and to avoid neglecting Xiaoliu, they also talked about electronic devices and other related topics.

"Nowadays, anything involving electronic devices is guaranteed to make money."

"You guys know that MP3 player, right? It costs a couple hundred to make, but this 64MB junk sells for four or five hundred and people are fighting over it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu's heart stirred.

"Uncle, are there many people in Shenzhen who do surveillance camera business?"

"There are a few companies that do import or assembly business, and they have to get their circuit boards and hard disk recorders from Hong Kong Island." He himself started out selling electronic products, so he knows a bit about this area.

"You want to do this business?" My uncle became interested.

His own nephew had praised Xiao Liu a few times, saying that if he had real skills, he wouldn't mind helping him establish himself.

“Well, there is a demand for surveillance in third- and fourth-tier cities in mainland China, but there are very few suppliers. I’m wondering if I could do some small business here.”

Just like in Wuhu, there are people selling cameras in second- and third-tier cities, but I haven't really seen any professional surveillance companies.

These are all mediocre people doing this. They just resell the whole machines and don't take responsibility for after-sales service.

He has his own skills, and while making money in the past two years, he hasn't forgotten to learn, so he's confident that he can do a little better than others.

"Let's finish this order with Dahe first. If it goes well, I'll introduce you to some electronic component wholesalers," he said with a smile. "Forget about this order; the quantity is too small."

The number of underwater cameras he was asked to was small and the pieces were scattered, so he was embarrassed to ask for them.

The father and son had discussed this before. Once Qin Dahe's business was on track, if the market was willing to accept underwater cameras priced at a few thousand yuan, they would help him purchase them in bulk to control costs.

The car drove along and soon arrived in Futian, stopping at the entrance of a "luxury residential area".

By today's standards, it is indeed a luxury residential area; at least the security guards are young and middle-aged men in their twenties and thirties.

The Mercedes-Benz beeped once, and my uncle didn't even need to open the car window; the driver just glanced at the license plate and let us through.

It's a bit of a security loophole, but that's just how things are these days.

BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) receive this treatment in most places.

After entering the residential area, we turned and passed two buildings before stopping. Below us was a row of parking garages.

“Dahe, we live in Unit 2. Here’s your key. Garage number 6 is mine, and yours is number 7.” As he spoke, his uncle tossed him a bunch of keys.

He pressed a button himself, and the garage door for number six slowly opened.

“You made a good purchase of this house. Warehouse number seven also has an automatic door. Old Zhang spent tens of thousands to install the garage.”

Qin Dahe was quite satisfied. The garage was really spacious; after parking the car, he could also store other tools. The neighborhood environment was also good.

"Hehe, that's good." He pressed the button as well, and an old Crown was parked in garage number seven.

There are an alarming number of these things in Guangdong and Guangxi, and they all came by waterway.

Anyone who dares to do this business must have license plates covered; they must be backed by powerful figures.

His package was still in the garage. After Qin Dahe got out of the car, he went inside to take a look. It was at least thirty square meters, which was enough for him.

Including the house, it's over 100 square meters.

There were some small tools left over from the previous owner, including a hammer, pliers, and a water gun. The garage had drainage pipes installed, which would make washing the car much more convenient in the future.
