This matter can be discussed later; the export version still needs to be trimmed. By then, we’ll have to replace the Router with Starlink, and also cut down on the Radar and Fish Finder.
The holding company Pingtou Ge was rejected by Li Ziyu. It’s simple; partnerships in business often lead to conflicts, and she doesn’t want Shi Tian to have issues with Pingtou Ge, putting her in a difficult position.
If she wants to expand the travel agency, she can just call Li Yunfei and ask him to transfer some funds. Shi Tian will handle the boat, and Li Yunfei will pay. In one night, Pingtou Ge acquired ten boats from Bai Jian, and before dawn, he came to Sanya with gifts to express his gratitude.
Pingtou Ge didn’t return alone; he also called back Oka and Da Gui Wang, even bringing Wang Gou and Shui Bi Zhang along. It’s clear that Pingtou Ge has his sights set on Oka and Da Gui Wang.
Shi Tian originally intended to form her own fleet with these two, but now they’ve ended up benefiting Pingtou Ge instead. However, since she’s no longer interested in managing a fleet, she decided to let it go.
“Xiao Tian, I’ll need to use your boat tomorrow to take Oka and the others to Xisha.” After finishing the welcome banquet, Pingtou Ge casually mentioned while lounging on a poolside chair. As long as Shi Ye and Air Force aren’t around, her pool should be safe—at least no one would jump in fully clothed.
“Are you not taking me to Xisha?” Shi Tian complained after clinking glasses with Pingtou Ge.
“I didn’t invite you because you’re too busy! The Ceramic Bearing Factory is about to start trial production next month; don’t you need to check it out before then?” Pingtou Ge’s words left Shi Tian speechless.
Before the Ceramic Bearing Factory starts production, she really needs to go take a look. Shi Ye had mentioned this to her; at least for a week, she wouldn’t have the chance to fish at Sea Fishing—she might only get to play around nearby.
Going to Xisha is fine; she can bring Hong Shun along as a deckhand and teach him how to fish at sea. She has a set of gear in her room on the boat that she can lend him for now. He could catch a few fish and earn some money for his tuition!
Recently, Hong Shun has been doing quite well with his business; not only does he sell fish at his shop, but he’s also inherited his family’s skills and started selling Iron Plate Squid. He makes several hundred dollars in just one night.
“Don’t worry! I’ll take good care of him!” Shi Tian promised as Pingtou Ge immediately got up and dragged her towards the pier. It seemed they had already made plans; they might be setting off tonight.
After sending off Pingtou Ge, when Shi Tian reached the Fishing Tackle Shop, she saw Hong Shun still selling Squid on the street. With a long line in front of his stall, it was clear that he had mastered the essence of Iron Plate Squid!
In truth, this success wasn’t solely due to him; it was largely thanks to Yi Laotou’s efforts. After setting up a stall for Hong Shun with all the necessary equipment for Iron Plate Squid, Yi Laotou would visit daily to help manage the business. He would eat while giving pointers, showing such patience that even Scallion and Ginger would feel envious.
“Soon your sister Xiao Yu’s brother will be going fishing at Xisha; why don’t you join them on the boat for a few days? I’ve prepared gear for you; just use my set. Try to catch some big fish so you can cover your tuition!”
When Hong Shun came to Sanya, Shi Tian had taken him out on Deep Sea No. 1 once before, but luck wasn’t on their side that day—he caught nothing and felt down for several days afterward.
“Going to Xisha? Are we leaving right now?” Hong Shun asked as he handed over a freshly grilled squid tentacle to Shi Tian.
“We’re leaving right away! Hurry up and get ready; the boat will be here soon.” After quickly stuffing the squid tentacle into her mouth, she spotted lights from a Mini Light Boat in the distance—Pingtou Ge was indeed fast at bringing the boat around.
“Alright, Master! Please watch my stall; I’ll go prepare right now.” He turned back after confirming that they had already collected payment from five customers—two squid tentacles each—and one customer wanted ten tentacles. Once he sold these out, any extra profit would be his way of treating her; she could keep it for buying drinks!
He handed a spatula over to Shi Tian before she could react; by the time she realized what happened, Hong Shun had already vanished into the crowd.
