Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

Except for a few who ran fast at the beginning and weren't caught, everyone else was caught and made to squat to one side.

Jiang Xinmin was beaten the most severely, his face was bruised and swollen, blood was coming from his nostrils, and he could barely speak.

"Yang Bai, if you've got the guts, let's have a one-on-one fight. What's the point of bringing so many people here?"

Yang Bai kicked him in the chest.

"Go to hell! You called so many people to block me, and you still have the nerve to say something like that?"

"If you ever dare to come here again, I'll beat you to a pulp."

Chen Dahai brought over the ledger and said, "Xiao Yang, it's five hundred and eighty yuan in total."

Upon hearing the number, Jiang Xinmin immediately thought Yang Bai was out of his mind. He spent 580 yuan just to beat them up?!

Yang Bai took the bill, glanced at it, nodded, and took out the six hundred yuan from the lining.

"Give them the rest, and use the remaining twenty dollars to buy drinks."

He gave them the money not just to beat them, but because money is most effective at winning people's hearts.

In the future, when you need them to do things, money will be the simplest and most straightforward way.

Why should they help us if we don't pay them? They're fishermen, not fools.

Efficiency requires money.

Yang Bai understood this principle very well in his previous life.

Soon, Zhang Dezhu led a group of militiamen over.

Seeing a bunch of people beaten and in a sorry state, while Yang Bai was completely unharmed.

Zhang Dezhu laughed and said, "You're quite something. So many people came to attack you, and you emerged unscathed."

Yang Bai pointed to the villagers and said, "This is all thanks to the brothers and uncles in the village. They arrested these people and locked them up for a few more days to give them a good education."

Zhang Dezhu nodded emphatically, noticing that many of the offenders were frequent visitors to prisons and detention centers.

"Yes, I will. Take them back. Xiao Yang, I'm leaving now."

He waved and got on his bicycle, instructing the militiamen to take the prisoner back.

Yang Bai's next task is to deal with the people of Dongsha Village.

The more he thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. Logically, they should have set sail in the morning, but Jiang Xinmin didn't arrive until noon.

He usually stays at sea during the midday hours unless someone tells Jiang Xinmin that he didn't come in the morning.

They'd rather kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free.

"People of Dongsha Village, you can go back now. We don't need you here."

Upon hearing this, the people of Dongsha Village were instantly enraged and surrounded Yang Bai, questioning him.

"Why are you kicking us out? We haven't offended you, have we?"

"Yang Bai, what does what Jiang Xinmin did have to do with us?"

"When an official takes office, he makes three bold moves, and the first one he makes is aimed at us."

"Yang Bai, are you asking him to shit on the company's head?!"

......

Yang Bai smiled.

"So you think it's none of your business?"

Okay, find out who tipped off Jiang Xinmin that Xiaojun and Lao Liu were here at noon.

Or, those who protected me just now, step forward. I won't fire any of you, even if only one of you is involved.

If you can't stand up and expose them, why should I believe you?

Are you waiting for the day you'll turn on me again?

The people of Dongsha Village were all speechless, some of whom had indeed reported Yang Bai's whereabouts.

Many people hoped that Yang Bai would be beaten so badly by Jiang Xinmin that he wouldn't dare to come back, and that things would return to the way they were before.

After all, only those who are on your own side can treat each other well.

Yang Bai looked at them without saying a word and continued.

"I've already shown you leniency by not shutting down your seafood company's transactions."

"If you're going to stay here, I think you don't want to end up like Jiang Xinmin, do you?"

The fishermen of Dongsha Village looked at Yang Bai with extreme resentment, but there was nothing they could do.

Having gotten close to the deputy county head, his voice is now second only to Manager Hou and the Party Secretary.

Whether or not it can be broken off is just a matter of his word.

They swore at each other and went their separate ways.

Yang Bai addressed the others.

"If you dare to do what you did today, your fate will be even worse than that of the fishermen from Dongsha Village who left. I, Yang Bai, mean what I say!"

The fishermen trembled, and the older fishermen were especially terrified.

If someone else had said those words, they would have just scoffed and wouldn't have taken them seriously at all.

But Yang Bai is different. He dares to stand up to Jiang Xinmin, and he has the support of the deputy county head. What he says, he absolutely does.

After the initial intimidation, Yang Bai offered a sweet treat.

"You can report each other. If anyone finds that someone has done anything bad to my ship or my people, please report it to me. If it is true, you will be rewarded with up to one hundred yuan, depending on the importance of the report."

Upon hearing this, the fishermen's eyes widened in surprise.

One hundred dollars is equivalent to their catch after two months of hard work.

Yang Bai is not a man of his word; he just truly handed over the money for the beating.

They all regretted not taking action earlier.

The fishermen kept Yang Bai's words firmly in mind.

Yang Bai boarded the boat, took out a map and a red pen, drew circles on it, and called over the young people who wanted to split the profits.

"Each boat carries three to five people, and the nine people will be divided among them. With the current number of people, there are enough for two boats. Five of the younger and more experienced people will be chosen to share a steel boat with Brother Dahai, while the remaining four will choose a wooden boat."

Next, Yang Bai selected a list of people to follow Chen Dahai's ship, and then pointed to the sea map.

"The people on the wooden boat will first go to a place 800 meters northeast of Niutouyang to catch fish today."

Chen Dahai is going to another steel-framed boat. I'll go out to sea with him to fish and will be back before five o'clock.

Remember, today is just about getting used to the process; tomorrow you'll start making money.

A seasoned fisherman looked at the circled area on the coordinates and asked.

"Yang Bai, I've been to this place before, there weren't many fish there. Are you sure there are plenty of fish?"

Yang Bai looked at the time and laughed, "You probably thought you were going in winter, but now that we have it, you'll see after you go."

There are many seasonal fishing areas due to factors such as breeding season, water temperature changes, and food migration.

In addition, Niu Tou Yang is somewhat special, being close to the Widow's Nest and having many undercurrents, which makes it even more difficult to find fish in most areas.

There were fish in the place he specified at this time, and quite a lot of them.

The task was handed over to the person in charge of the wooden boat.

Yang Bai and the others boarded Jiang Xinmin's ship, which was now his ship.

The stern was riveted up, and the ship officially set sail.

Both ships, guided by the coordinates map provided by Yang Bai and carrying compasses, headed towards the designated sea area.

Chen Dahai steered the steel boat with a skill level no less than Yang Bai's.

Liu Dade didn't recognize Chen Dahai and was dumbfounded by his boat-driving skills.

"Yang Bai, where did you find a boat captain with the same skills as you?"

"We met while playing cards, but he doesn't gamble. I just play with him when I'm broke."

Yang Bai explained.

Both the original owner of this body and his previous life met him through playing cards. He played cards purely out of interest and to keep his mind active.

One hour later.

The ship arrived at the sea, and a vast expanse of blue stretched before it.

Yang Bai timed it perfectly; the other wooden boat should have arrived by now.

"We've arrived. Stop and head out to sea to fish!"

Chen Dahai brought the boat to a steady stop, looked up at Yang Bai, and asked.

"My skills haven't fallen behind, have they?"

Yang Bai shook his head.

"No, I'm very satisfied."
