After an hour, I had several more bruises on my body. Fortunately, my eyes were intact; I had managed to dodge a few sneak attacks from Lu Ya and even counterattacked once. Unfortunately, I didn’t dare to use my full strength, so the damage was limited.
Myanmar's fishing industry wasn't very developed, but our neighbors had a thriving fishing business! With Thailand's assistance, there weren’t many large fish in Myanmar.
After spending a few days at sea with the export version sea fishing rods that Shi Ye had procured, I circled around the Bay of Bengal, headed north to Bangladesh, then traveled down the eastern coast of India to Sri Lanka, and finally crossed back over the Bay of Bengal to Thailand.
I caught only a few big fish along the way, but Xiao Yu was constantly reeling them in. I found a fishing boat to sell the fish cheaply; there was no way to bring them back home, so it was best to deal with them here.
Shi Tian's eyes had gone down in swelling while Lu Ya's were now puffy. He looked like a panda—awkward no matter how you looked at him!
"Lu Ge, move around a bit!" Shi Tian was getting a bit addicted to this violent aesthetic. Although he still couldn’t quite match Lu Ya, he was at least holding his own now.
"No way, my waist is twisted; I’m taking a day off!" When Shi Tian challenged him again, Lu Ya decisively shook his head.
This kid was improving too quickly and always played unpredictably; one wrong move and he could end up at a disadvantage! If it was just about one-sided crushing, why bother playing with him?
"Young man! Watch your health! You don’t even have a girlfriend yet; how can you be hurting your back? How are you going to find someone like that?"
Trying to provoke him didn’t work; Lu Ya wasn’t falling for it at all!
"Quickly make some food. After breakfast, you two will go ashore and head home. I've already bought your tickets; just swipe your passports!"
As I stepped out of the room, Shi Ye tossed two passports to Shi Tian and Sun Lang. When they opened them up, they saw the same faces but different names and nationalities.
"After going abroad once, Bai Jian got himself a passport! What’s the use of this? Is it just for visa-free travel? With their wealth, who wouldn’t be eager to give them a visa?"
Now that they could go home, there was no need to worry about that anymore! Kang Ziyu and the others had been playing in Hunan for several days already; if they didn’t return soon, they would be heading down to Yangzhou!
Shi Ye and the others still needed to stay in Myanmar for a few more months. Before they left, I planned to cook them a few dishes and share some drinks together; the next time we meet would probably be in midsummer!
The flight from Phuket went straight to Changsha. It was already late at night when we arrived.
"Sister Lang, I have a task for you. Once we reach Changsha tomorrow, I want you to check out Cha Dong. I’m thinking of opening a fishing tackle shop there; find me a storefront."
Later on, I’d ask the Unreliable Duo if they were interested in being store managers for two months. Once Cha Dong's market opened up, I could transfer them back to Sanya or Xishuangbanna. Those two guys had been quite reliable lately; it would be good to promote them!
Opening a store is toughest in the first few months—no reputation, no connections, and unfamiliar with the neighbors. It would be quite a test of ability.
"Cha Dong? Is that a small place? Is there any market there?" Sun Lang was hearing about Cha Dong for the first time and felt somewhat confused.
"Xingpai Fishing Gear targets mid-to-high-end markets. You want to open a store in a small place? Who are you selling to? At least pick a second-tier city instead of going for first-tier cities!"
It was a small place, located at the junction of Yuguixiang and the Three Provinces, not as big as Anyou Town.
Whether there was business or not didn't matter; I just needed a shop by the river and backed by a mountain. It could be a bit pricey, but the more beautiful the environment, the better. Even if the building was old, I could always hire someone to renovate it. Once I found the right place, send me a video, and I'll arrange for the renovations.
There was no rush for this shop; as long as it opened before July, that would be fine. Shi Tian didn't expect to sell many rods in Cha Dong either. The environment there was indeed nice, but it was definitely not suitable to stay during this season—cold and damp, making it uncomfortable to linger for too long.
Gourmet Town thrived in Anyou Town, but it wouldn't work in Cha Dong. There wasn't a single third or fourth-tier city within a hundred kilometers, and it wasn't a major tourist attraction; the number of visitors was pitifully low.
If Shang invested a lot of money to create a Gourmet Town there, recouping the costs would be an endless wait.
Alright, once I land, I'll rent a car and take a look over there! Sun Lang casually confirmed as he noted down the two characters for Cha Dong on his phone.
