Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 551 Air Force
However, his method of fishing for tilapia is a bit different from others. He uses a fixed float, similar to a slippery road, but the float is fixed in place.

The fishing method was learned from that guy online who caught a bighead carp weighing over 300 jin. The float is fixed and the bites are clear, so it's easy to detect the bites, almost like platform fishing.

There are some tricks to casting, and the water depth cannot exceed four meters, because the long casting rod is only four meters long, and the float cannot be caught if it is higher.

It took more than ten minutes just to adjust the float and find the bottom, which was a lot of extra work.

The bait used is a local fishy bait, specifically for tilapia fishing.

It costs eight yuan a pack, and many locals around here use it.

He had never fished for tilapia before, but the shrimp-based bait might be more attractive than the local fishy bait, so he bought a bag of shrimp paste to put in the bait when he came.

With a good bait, start fishing. Turn on the drag, hold the sinker and gently swing it so that it accurately lands in the fishing spot.

While Qin Dahe's long-range throws weren't particularly impressive, his control over close-range throws of fourteen or fifteen meters was terrifying.

Even an 8.1-meter fishing rod can smash a dog bowl with a seated cast, which is much simpler than smashing a dog bowl.

After casting the bait into the feeding area, lean the fishing rod against the railing and use the fishing box to block the view from behind. With drag, you won't have to worry about the rod flying away even if you catch a fish.

Then I started using another fishing rod to do long casts, this time with a spinner attached, to see if I could get something different at the estuary.

Once everything is ready, raise the rod for a stylish whip-like cast.

The fishing line moved forward rapidly, and the sound of the gears turning attracted the attention of many people.

Other lure anglers are pretty much the same; they come here just to show off their skills. There are plenty of people in the park, and it's more fun to show off when someone is watching.

There are still resources in Shenzhen Bay. People setting up formations along the shore can pull up a fish every now and then, and it will be bought on the spot.

People from Guangdong never skimp on food.

With the jig bouncing rhythmically, the first cast missed. Don't rush to cast again; change the lure on the rod and cast out again.

"Damn it, the leader broke!" A fellow angler nearby immediately started cursing as he reeled in his line.

"."

Qin Dahe's heart skipped a beat. They're catching pufferfish too? He hadn't brought a wire guide today.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, I continued fishing, and soon I got a bite.

Sure enough, when he pulled it up, it was a pufferfish.

It got "angry" when I held it in my hand, puffing up into a big round ball.

He glanced at the shoes; they weren't dirty. He muttered something and threw them out.

This thing is only good for shining shoes. The old men and women who buy fish are very careful with their lives and don't buy it at all. Qin Dahe didn't dare to take it back to eat either.

Powdered bait needs to be changed every few minutes, and there's also the long-distance casting with jigging – it's really busy!

He kept switching between the two rods, which took a lot of effort, and in the end, he caught three pufferfish in a row, but broke two of the rod tips, which made him very angry.

I only brought ten lead weights in total, which wasn't enough for the initial batch.

"You stupid pufferfish, get lost." This time, it wasn't just thrown; it was a violent volley.

Other anglers are in the same boat; their lines are breaking too frequently, resulting in significant losses for each of them.

There were all sorts of curses, including "Kan Jia Chan," "Pu Gai," and "Diao Li Mu."

Qin Dahe was so frustrated after two hours of fishing that he couldn't even catch a single fish. He had broken four pieces of his fishing rod and couldn't stand it any longer.

"Guangzai, where else around here can we go fishing?"

Guangzai is the novice angler who lost two sets of fishing lines on the beach last time. One set was tangled and the other was snagged. He's about the same age as me.

However, he is a local, so he probably knows more about the situation.

"I'm not sure either, but a lot of people go fishing at the fish farms, so there's some fish there."

"Do you have any ideas?" Qin Dahe's eyes lit up. "Going fishing at a fish raft would be fine too."

"Ask Uncle Li, he'll definitely know." Qin Dahe nodded. Fishing in Shenzhen Bay was too painful. He was thinking of catching some tilapia today, but all he got were pufferfish. It was awful.

This kind of stubborn resistance to the tide is not advisable. In the future, when there is no tide, just go fishing in freshwater and enjoy yourself. There are plenty of places to fish in Shenzhen.

It would be interesting to collect some mud carp and tilapia in a few reservoirs or natural river channels.

Some people had already started packing up their gear. Seeing that he still had some bait left, he didn't rush to leave; he still had a few sticks left.

I glanced at the sequins with disdain. What fish eats plastic and metal? It's fucking ridiculous.

However, there's nothing else available today, so the powdered bait can't be thrown forcefully; it has to be used as is.

Another crack of the whip; it seems the force wasn't strong enough, and the string snapped.

When bad luck strikes, even drinking water can cause problems. While I was busy untangling the line, I caught a fish on my rock fishing rod.

As a result, the rod tip broke when I tried to lift it up.

"."

He sighed deeply, lit a cigarette, and sat down on the fishing box. Because the sun was quite strong and there weren't many people around, he felt a little comforted, at least he hadn't gone home empty-handed in front of a lot of people.

That's just how fishermen are. When they catch a big fish, they want the whole world to watch. When they come home empty-handed, they walk very quietly and close the door much quieter.

He took a deep drag on his cigarette, his face under his sun hat as black as the bottom of a pot.

Forget it, I'll just behave myself for the next couple of days and wait for my wife to come.

I'll take this opportunity to visit the nearby fishing tackle markets and see if I can find a place that sells fishing boxes.

Even if others try to copy it, it will take time. It's not bad to establish a foothold in the Pearl River Delta market in advance.

It might not make him much money, but he has to start selling fishing boxes to save face.

In the evening, Qin Dahe took Xiao Liu out for dinner.

He's going back to set up his company, and he also has a classmate who runs an electronics business who's going back with him.

This meal can be seen as both a farewell gesture and an investment.

Two top students are planning to start a surveillance company, with their first location in the city.

The surveillance market is basically blank for Jiuzi right now; it's mostly computer sellers doing it as a side business, so they don't have any technological advantage at all.

The real high-end surveillance equipment is all installed by people from Nanjing.

The two decided to work together to start a business back home and take a chance. The reason they brought Qin Dahe into the business was that his uncle had connections in the area.

In China, you can't do electronics business without going to Shenzhen. My uncle's connections in the industry here can be a huge help, so getting him to invest wouldn't be a loss.

Qin Dahe also has his own considerations. The subsequent iteration of underwater cameras and the production of luminous floats cannot be separated from highly skilled personnel.

However, fishing tackle companies cannot afford to employ these talents, or rather, it would be too wasteful to do so. They can only seek cooperation by outsourcing research and development, which is why this investment came about.

He only wants 10% of the shares, and he has the right to co-invest, meaning his shares will not be diluted.

If the company raises funds in the future, Qin Dahe can use the money to continue increasing his stake, ensuring a 10% ownership.

Well, it only cost 100,000 yuan in total, while the other two invested 400,000 yuan to hold 90% of the shares.

The two top students are worth 50 yuan, which is considered low. Even my uncle thinks this business is worth doing.

You should know that if he were to introduce them to jobs, their annual salary would not be less than 200,000 yuan. Hardware talents are more sought after than software talents, and a technical valuation of 500,000 yuan is already very cheap.

This 10% stake can't be used for anything except auditing, but Qin Dahe feels it's a good deal, as the surveillance business still has potential.

However, the business environment in Jiuzi is only so-so. If the two of them can't handle it, it will all be for nothing. It all depends on their own social skills.

The three of them didn't return to their room until eight o'clock, as the two brothers would have to talk all night.

Qin Dahe, on the other hand, opened the forum and announced the production plan for the commercial bait.
