The real estate tycoon had a cigar in his mouth and his elbows resting on the side of the cruise ship, looking at the ocean-going fishing boat sailing in front of them with great interest.
"Mr. Tong, we just followed them like this, and they are not angry?" A middle-aged man in a purple suit said with a smile.
"How do you know they're not angry?" The real estate tycoon known as Mr. Tong laughed and said, "They are fishing boats, they are out to work, we are a cruise ship, we are out to have fun, we just follow behind them, we can burn oil for nothing, but what about them? They can't do anything even if they are angry."
"Look, when they pull up the net, there will definitely not be a single fish in it."
"But Mr. Tong, they are heading towards the open sea, and the supplies on our ship are a little insufficient." The man in the purple suit said in a deep voice.
They were out for fun and didn't have many supplies on the boat.
This time, they had almost finished the fun and were preparing to return. If they followed the enemy and headed towards the open sea, their supplies would be insufficient.
Food is secondary. The main thing is fresh water, which is really scarce.
"Direction, our supplies are sufficient." Tong Zong smiled and pointed at Xiang Yang's ocean-going fishing boat, "Look, our supplies are right there, aren't they?"
"Uh, Mr. Tong, what do you mean?"
Tong Boss exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile, "I want them to hand over all the rare catches, including the two horsehead fish, to me with both hands."
"Well, our fresh water is only enough to support one more day at most. If they don't compromise one day, we will have no water to drink." said the man in the purple suit.
“What are you afraid of? They don’t know how long we can last. We are out here to have fun, and they are out to work. We follow them all day long, but they can’t catch any fish. With the fuel costs plus the personnel expenses, they are losing at least hundreds of thousands a day. How long do you think they can last?” Mr. Tong said cheerfully.
Although the man in the purple suit felt that something was wrong, since Mr. Tong had already said this, what else could he say
The other side.
Xiang Yang leaned against the side of the bow, looking at the cruise ship more than a hundred meters away from him with a smile.
Xiang Yang had already guessed the other party's thoughts.
But Xiang Yang just wanted to say that the other party was funny.
The fishing boat sailed for a while, and Xiang Yang felt that it was about time, so he said, "Now, collect the nets."
Following Xiang Yang's order, Chen Qingsheng immediately led the crew to start working.
Zhou Wang, who had been ready, pressed the switch of the winch, and the winch immediately started to hoist the net.
At this time, Chen Qingsheng and his men, holding steel forks, lined up neatly on both sides of the deck.
This is Xiang Yang's regulation. Every time the fishing net comes up, he must first check whether there are any dangerous fish in the net before he can start cleaning the catch.
The fishing net was pulled out of the sea by a winch. It was a long, flat net with a small bag of fish bulging at the bottom. The net was almost empty.
Xiang Yang blinked his eyes. Could it be that he had calculated wrongly? Would a cruise ship following behind him really affect his fishing
This is unscientific!
Later, on the cruise ship, the real estate tycoon and the man in purple also saw the flat fishing net that Xiang Yang dragged up.
Suddenly, both of them grinned. It was such a big fishing boat, with so many crew members on the deck, and they dragged the net for so long, but they only pulled up such a small thing. This person ate the fire on the boat, and he would probably lose everything after a few uses.
"Captain." Chen Qingsheng looked at Xiang Yang carefully, as if he was afraid that Xiang Yang would be angry.
Xiang Yang waved his hand nonchalantly, "We've made enough money this time. No matter what we harvest next, we've already made back our money. Every fish we catch next time will be pure profit. Don't have to look like that. Be happy and clean up the catch quickly. I'll treat you to crabs."
When the crew members heard Xiang Yang say this, their ugly expressions finally looked a little better.
Zhou Wang also slowly operated the winch and lowered the fishing net from mid-air.
Xiang Yang handed the task of cleaning the catch to Chen Qingsheng, and turned around to walk into the cabin.
To be honest, Xiang Yang also felt ashamed.
Now, the cruise ship behind him was clearly in conflict with Xiang Yang, and Xiang Yang wanted to slap the other party in the face with a big harvest, but he didn't expect that this net would be so ineffective.
Over there, Chen Qingsheng untied the fishing net feebly, and then asked someone to use a fish rake to rake the fish away.
The total catch was less than 1,000 kilograms, and most of them were cuttlefish. Chen Qingsheng really had no interest in such a small catch.
As a result, Fang Youqun used the fish rake to rake the fish, but it didn't move.
Some cuttlefish were raked down from the pile of fish, and a big, fat, round fish emerged from under the pile.
"Oh shit!" Fang Youqun screamed as if he had seen a ghost. He dropped the harpoon and let out a strange cry.
"What the hell are you yelling about?" Chen Qingsheng started to curse reflexively.
As a result, Chen Qingsheng also caught a glimpse of the fat and round fish out of the corner of his eye.
“Fuck!” Chen Qingsheng’s eyes widened instantly, and his shouting was even louder than Fang Youqun’s.
In the cabin, Xiang Yang was about to enter the warehouse, then he heard Fang Youqun's shouting, thinking that Fang Youqun was in danger, and then hurriedly looked towards the deck. The next moment, Xiang Yang's face was full of astonishment and surprise.
The other side.
On that cruise ship.
The real estate tycoon and the man in the purple suit were each holding a monocular telescope and watching Xiang Yang's boat.
He looked at both sides and talked.
"Mr. Tong, I think what I said before was wrong. With their current fishing efficiency, how can they earn tens of millions a year? It would be good if they don't lose money." said the man in the purple suit.
The real estate tycoon also laughed and said, "If they continue to arrest people like this, I'm afraid they won't even be able to afford the down payment for the cheapest property I rent."
"That's right. The fishing industry is becoming more and more difficult. I run a hotel in the mainland. Several ship captains who used to cooperate with me have now sold their ships and switched to aquaculture. There is less and less future for deep-sea fishing like them. How can they compare with you, Mr. Tong?" said the man in the purple suit.
The two chatted and watched.
When the fishing nets were untied and a pile of squids were revealed, they felt that there was no future in fishing.
Then, they saw Fang Youqun using a fish rake to push the small pile of catch, and the fish on the top of the pile were pushed onto the deck.
Then, they saw a plump bluefin tuna that looked to be at least two hundred pounds.
