Sun Lang glanced at Shi Tian, feeling a bit of a headache. "Boat rods are expensive, a set costs around ten to twenty thousand, and the better ones can reach thirty to forty thousand. You don’t go out to sea often, so spending that much on a rod is just a waste! I’ll help you find a rod to use for now. Once we take a trip out to sea, you’ll see it’s not worth the money!"
Having already spent thirty thousand today, he thought it wouldn’t hurt to make another rod for Sun Lang to use. If they caught even one or two tunas on their trip to Nan You, Sun Lang would definitely end up buying that rod anyway! Even if they didn’t catch any fish, it didn’t matter; a qualified fisherman couldn’t just have one rod. He could leave it in the cabin as a backup!
After sending Sun Lang off, Shi Tian was about to head over to the opposite side to cast a couple of lines when Shi Chui and Yun Wan'er drove up.
"Boss, keep an eye on the store; I’m going over there to help you fish!" Sun Lang said with a grin as he took the rod from Shi Tian’s hands and patted him on the shoulder before running off.
"This is your shop? Not bad at all! Facing the sea with spring flowers blooming!" Yun Wan'er commented as she walked into the store under Shi Tian's guidance.
To Yun Wan'er, as long as the shop was clean and tidy, it was good enough. Whether it made money or not was Shi Tian's concern; it had nothing to do with her!
As for Shi Chui, he had already dived behind the counter to study all the fishing gear. With so much equipment available, he wouldn’t need to spend money on fishing gear in the future!
After brewing a pot of tea for the two of them, Shi Tian sat down with Yun Wan'er while Shi Chui wandered over to watch the group of people fishing across the way. The fishing gear in the shop was average and paled in comparison to his customized rods; once he picked one up, he lost all interest in rummaging through them!
"Do you really need someone to watch over such a small shop? Can it even cover wages?" Yun Wan'er asked casually as she took a sip of the tea Shi Tian had poured for her, reclining comfortably in her chair while watching the people fishing across the way.
Opening such a small shop by the sea, feeling the ocean breeze and watching boats come and go, seemed like a pretty good life—whether there was any profit or not.
"It’s okay! Weekends are busier, mornings and evenings are decent too. Now I can make a few thousand every day; profits are still quite high!"
Shi Tian initially thought about persuading Yun Wan'er to help him out at the shop when she had free time but decided against it after some consideration. Guiding a small fishing tackle shop would be easy for her. However, if she started getting too involved and promoted it with some clever tactics, his shop could suddenly become popular, leading to increased rod sales—and that would be disastrous for him!
It was better to sell slowly and steadily; let the reputation of his rods spread gradually. Once they reached a certain volume, he could change their packaging—either limited edition or high-end—to avoid disrupting his leisurely lifestyle.
This little town was quite peaceful; tourism hadn’t developed here yet, and it was far from urban areas—there weren’t many young people around! Glancing at Shi Tian, Yun Wan'er turned her attention back across the way where Shi Chui was already casting his line under Sun Lang's guidance.
The two shops next door were taken over by a girl who planned to open a cold drink shop! Selling cold drinks here probably wouldn’t be profitable; she must be doing it just for enjoyment!
At this mention from Shi Tian, Yun Wan'er’s eyes lit up.
"A girl is opening a milk tea shop here? I have to check it out! If she’s good enough, I’ll have to visit often!"
"Boss, give me some minos!" Just as Yun Wan'er was about to pry more information from Shi Tian about this girl, an oblivious fisherman walked in!
"How many grams do you need?" Shi Tian asked as he stood up and headed toward the shelf where the jigs were displayed.
"Give me two ten-gram ones, three fifteen-gram ones, and two thirty-gram ones! By the way," that bro pointed at a red-spotted grouper in the tank and asked, "Did you catch that fish? It’s huge!"
A few days ago, I caught this at Dao Wan. Want it? I can give you a discount—just a thousand bucks to take it home! Seeing Bro's interest in the fish tank, Shi Tian quickly recommended.
This fish for a thousand bucks is definitely not something you’d get from a fish vendor, but the thought of buying a Red-Spotted Grouper for that price is quite tempting.
A regular Stonefish might only fetch three or four Ten Dollars per pound from a vendor. The risk is too high; if it dies, you won’t be able to sell it for much at all.
When vendors sell it, the price doubles, reaching around seventy. And once it gets to a restaurant, the price can double again. It’s not that they’re greedy; after all, there are operational costs involved!
Alright! Just pull it out for me! No need for a bag; I’ll carry it! Pulling out his phone, he scanned the QR code, and a thousand bucks was transferred. He didn’t even want to keep the hook.
That’s how fishermen are; they’re careful with the fish they catch, wanting to keep them alive for as long as possible to show off to friends and family.
Like an Air Force officer, buying a fish is something worth showing off. But you can’t just keep it in a Fish Bucket; you have to carry it on your back for everyone to see. After all, spending a good amount of money on a fish makes you feel like you need to show it off!
