At eight in the evening, after clocking in at Spring Water, Shi Tian took a shower and tossed the clothes he had changed out of into the washing machine. He then turned to his bedroom to study the plan for delivering warmth the next day.
After selling off the goods from Tian, he looked at the remaining three thousand points in his Fishing Box and felt a pang of toothache. The convenience of sending Pin Gou was undeniable, but the cost was a bit steep. Each set of Pin Gou cost one point, and a board contained five sets—this price was quite high!
The commonly used hooks for Freshwater Fishing included small sizes of Sleeve Hooks, while universal hooks were sizes Ise Nii. The hooks used for Heikeng were even larger, akin to those needed for catching Qing Cao Lian Yu, which required sizes New Kanto.
To have all these models ready would require six boards, amounting to six points. Those professional Fishing Tackle Shops would need to send at least twenty sets each, totaling over a hundred points. Even if Sleeve Hooks were used less frequently, with a discount, it would still amount to around a hundred points.
With his limited points, he could barely supply thirty stores. What about those small supermarkets and convenience stores? Hooks couldn’t just be sent without consideration; they might also need line setups! Even if Line Setup wasn’t included, there had to be a purchasing channel available; otherwise, if the main line kept breaking every day, how could anyone fish? That would be quite troublesome!
He decided to first prepare two hundred sets and add some San Gou to test the waters before proceeding further! If he sent them daily, he truly couldn’t afford it! His points were too few!
After designing the hook boards and producing two hundred sets of hooks, he figured he should make some fishing lines as well. The store was just a trial run; he didn’t know how effective it would be. Point-to-point delivery of warmth was still necessary. He planned to take half of them to the riverbank to deliver warmth to the fishermen and adjust the ratios in the store accordingly.
The next morning, Shi Tian monitored the morning rush at the store. Once Su Xueyi arrived for work, Shi Tian’s warmth delivery activity officially began.
“Xueyi, I have something to take care of outside; I might not be back for lunch. You can handle your own meal! Call me if anything comes up!”
Upon hearing that Shi Tian wouldn’t be back for lunch, Su Xueyi blinked her big eyes and asked, “Boss, are you going fishing? Isn’t it too late for that?”
Su Xueyi’s words caught Shi Tian off guard; did she really think he was slacking off in front of his employees?
“Xueyi! Your boss is someone who does great things! I’m expanding our market! Looking for partners to make our Fishing Tackle Shop bigger and stronger!” He said this with a serious tone as he carried his Fishing Box down from upstairs and loaded it into Dai Yue Ye’s trunk.
Confused by Shi Tian’s words about market expansion and seeking partners, Su Xueyi muttered to herself while staring at Shi Tian’s car as it drove away: “Expanding the market? Seeking partners? Is he really going to find partners by the river? It sounds so grandiose; isn’t he just going fishing?”
The nearest Fishing Tackle Shop was one Shi Tian was quite familiar with; it was where he bought his first Fishing Rod! A long-time acquaintance—he decided to practice there first!
Every Fishing Tackle Shop has its regular group of Fishermen customers, and Boss Gao’s shop naturally had its loyal patrons as well.
Parking outside Old Gao's shop, Shi Tian waited outside for a while and noticed there were four or five people inside. Old Gao was chatting with them over tea while they had some Bait and Line Setup in front of them.
Perfect timing! Not letting anyone escape!
He pushed open the door and entered with a transparent plastic bag in hand, heading straight for the tea table where the group sat.
“Boss Gao is living life leisurely!” Shi Tian thought as he greeted the frowning Boss Gao while lighting a cigarette.
Taking the cigarette that Shi Tian offered him, Old Gao sighed deeply and said, “Let’s not say anything more. My shop is small; I can’t afford you as a big Buddha! I’ll refund you that five Ten Dollars Rod; please don’t come back here to trouble me again!”
At this point, Boss Gao wore a bitter smile as he complained to the few people at the tea table, "Last month, this kid spent ten dollars here to buy a three-point-six-meter fiberglass rod. He hooked a big fish and broke the rod, and now he’s trying to pin the blame on me!"
The others at the table were all fishermen, and they immediately understood the situation. It wasn’t uncommon for a fish to break a rod, but it wasn’t exactly rare either. A fifty-dollar fiberglass rod could easily snap under the strain of a three-kilogram fish!
When it comes to fishing, you have to be willing to invest in good equipment! Without quality gear, how can you catch big fish?
After taking a sip of tea, one of the fishermen chimed in, "A fish that can break a rod must weigh at least five kilograms! Just take the common carp as an example; a wild carp costs at least ten dollars per kilogram. A five-kilogram fish would set you back over fifty bucks!"
"If you buy a decent rod, catching ten or eight fish would easily cover its cost!"
It seemed this person was likely a friend of Boss Gao; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so eager to help him out.
Shi Tian wasn’t new to fishing; he wouldn’t fall for such tricks. Besides, he was there to promote his hooks, not just to chat with a few fishermen. Selling those hooks was his main goal.
"You’re absolutely right! To catch fish, you need to invest in your gear!" Shi Tian echoed the fisherman’s sentiment and pulled out a set of hooks from his bag. "Ever since my last rod broke, I’ve been restless for half a month! I’ve been working on developing a super strong hook and leader line, and I brought it here today for Boss Gao to try out!"
Seeing that these guys were experienced anglers, he thought it would be great for them to test the quality of his hooks and see where improvements could be made.
As he spoke, Shi Tian opened a pack labeled Ise Nii and said to everyone, "Not only is this hook incredibly sharp, but it also has remarkable strength. Paired with my custom-made leader line—don’t underestimate it just because it’s nylon—you can pull something weighing over ten kilograms without it breaking!"
The imported nylon line has a tensile strength of around six kilograms before tying knots. However, once tied, its strength significantly decreases—often by twenty to thirty percent. Some inferior lines can even lose half their strength!
If it’s Dali Ma line, the situation is even worse; just tying a knot renders it practically useless. That’s why most people prefer using leader lines with Dali Ma!
"Come on! You’re saying that line can handle over ten kilograms? Is this line imported?" Boss Gao rolled his eyes and retorted as he glanced at the hook Shi Tian handed him.
