Li Wei and the other three, walking out of the bank, couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.
Jim couldn't help but suggest,
"Boss, how about we find a bar later and celebrate properly?"
"Jim, we still have two strings of traps waiting to be retrieved. Where do we have time to go to a bar to celebrate?"
Jack finished speaking and glanced at Jim.
"Jim, the celebration can wait until we've retrieved all the fishing traps."
"Sorry, Boss, I..."
"It's alright. Everyone is happy to earn money, but our work isn't finished yet.
We won't drink today, but we can celebrate. We'll go to a restaurant later and eat whatever you want. My treat."
"Boss, you're the best Boss in all of Eagle Country."
"..."
After discussing where to celebrate, the group walked towards the restaurant not far away.
Since it wasn't peak dining time, there weren't many customers in the restaurant.
Before long, the food they ordered was served.
When the honey-glazed grilled pork ribs Li Wei ordered were served, he was still shocked by the portion size.
On the huge plate, besides the grilled pork ribs, there were also large amounts of fries, bacon, fried eggs, and cheese, exactly like the picture on the menu.
A definite calorie bomb!
Just looking at it already felt greasy.
But seeing how satisfied Buck and the other two were eating, his appetite was also whetted.
Li Wei picked up a rib and took a bite.
The ribs, which looked burnt, actually tasted very good. The meat was fragrant, the juices were rich, and combined with the honey glaze, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
The meal lasted for more than half an hour.
Although none of the four drank alcohol, there was no limit on carbonated drinks.
When they left the restaurant, they kept hiccuping, unable to stop.
Li Wei was quite speechless seeing this. Just because I didn't let you drink alcohol, do you need to drink so much cola?
"Hiccup~~~"
When the group returned to the Sea Monster, they all took out their phones to call their families and report they were safe.
Li Wei also wanted to make a call to report, but he was the only one in this world.
Just as Li Wei's mood continued to be low, Buck handed his phone to him.
"[・_・?]"
"Wangcai wants to talk to you."
Only then did Li Wei remember that he wasn't alone; he still had Wangcai.
He took the phone and heard the voices of the girl and Wangcai.
"Wangcai, can you hear me?"
"Woof, woof woof!"
"Wangcai, recently..."
"...."
After five minutes of cross-species communication, the girl's joyful voice came from the receiver.
"Li Wei, Buck told me you caught a lot of black cod this trip and made a lot of money."
"We were lucky this trip and encountered a school of black cod..."
"..."
Twenty minutes later, Li Wei finally hung up the phone, a smile on his face that he hadn't even noticed.
"Boss, I just contacted a few Captains, and only one is willing to sell us his remaining quota."
"Jim, how many tons of quota does the other party have?"
This was something they had discussed before returning.
Besides continuing to apply for more black cod quota, they were also prepared to purchase some quota from other Captains.
The reason was the school of black cod in the underwater basin.
The black cod school in the underwater basin was enough to use up their quota. If they didn't prepare more quota in advance, they might exceed the limit.
Although Buck and the other two were a bit confused, since Li Wei was the Captain, they could only contact the Captains they knew.
"About 10 tons."
"How much does the other party want?"
"10 tons of quota, 5000 us dollars."
"Okay, tell him I agree."
Li Wei didn't think much and directly agreed to the price.
10 tons of compliant black cod sold to Glenn could fetch 99,000 us dollars. After deducting costs and the fee for purchasing the black cod quota, they could earn at least 60,000 us dollars. He then turned to look at Jack.
"Jack, what about your side?"
"Boss, I have two Captains who are willing to sell their quota. There are a total of 28 tons of quota, but they are asking for a higher price. One wants 8000 us dollars for 13 tons, and the other wants 10000 us dollars for 15 tons."
"Jack, tell them 6500 us dollars for 13 tons and 7500 us dollars for 15 tons. If they agree, buy it."
Jack nodded upon hearing this and began calling the two. He quickly received a reply; both agreed to the transaction.
Li Wei bought a total of 40 tons of black cod quota. Including the quota they were preparing to apply for, they could still catch over eighty tons of black cod.
If they could fulfill the entire fishing quota, they could earn at least another 720,000 us dollars.
Leaving the replenishment work of the Sea Monster to Jack and the other, Li Wei went to the fisheries department with Buck to apply for the remaining black cod quota for the Sea Monster.
When the two returned to the Sea Monster, the replenishment was complete, and they were ready to go fishing at any time.
After handing over the helm to Buck, Li Wei returned directly to the cabin to sleep.
In the past few days at sea, he had only slept a total of ten hours, averaging only three or four hours a day.
Just as Li Wei was sleeping soundly, the news that he had sold black cod at a high price was leaked.
The purchase price of 4.5 us dollars per pound made the eyes of those Captains turn red with envy.
But they could only watch.
Even if the black cod they caught was exactly the same as what Li Wei caught, no one would buy it.
It was just like the luxury goods market.
The same diamond, but what you dig out is called industrial diamond, and what I dig out is called diamond.
They simply couldn't integrate into this circle.
Regarding this, Li Wei just wanted to say, with the efforts of two generations of my family's business, why should I sell at the same price as you?
...
When Li Wei was awakened by the bell in the cabin, the Sea Monster had already arrived in the waters where the underwater basin was located. He walked into the wheelhouse and took over the helm. Buck and the other two also changed their clothes and came onto the deck.
As the images from the fishing traps appeared before their eyes, they finally understood why so much quota needed to be purchased.
The fishing traps were completely full of black cod, occupying more than half of the trap's capacity.
They inwardly exclaimed that the Boss had long-term vision. Once this string of traps was retrieved, they could return to Gray Harbor to unload the cargo.
When the number of black cod in the fishing trap was counted, Jack made a "75" gesture towards the wheelhouse.
"75!"
Li Wei was also surprised by the gesture. He hadn't expected the harvest to be so good; the first trap broke their fishing record.
This single trap of black cod was worth 2700 us dollars.
Subsequently, this record was broken from time to time, and the single-trap fishing record reached triple digits.
"116!"
When Jack excitedly shouted this number, the three people on the deck all cheered.
Li Wei quickly opened the window, picked up the walkie-talkie, and excitedly said,
"Jack, what did you just say?"
"Boss, we caught 116 compliant black cod in this trap."
"Wow, guys, I think we've found the black cod's lair."
"Hahaha! Boss, the place you found is still the best."
"..."
When the last fishing trap was pulled onto the boat, they had caught approximately 35 tons of compliant black cod.
The result was that the Sea Monster, which had just set sail, rushed back to Gray Harbor again.
When Glenn received Li Wei's call again, he was also extremely surprised.
He thought to himself, didn't you just set sail? Why are you back?
How much black cod could be caught in such a short time?
When he heard at least 35 tons of black cod, he immediately ran out of the office, shouting as he ran,
"Chris, Barron, we're going to the dock now. And help me contact the airline..."
Chris and the others, who were about to pack up and leave work, knew it was a big deal when they heard this.
They quickly started making arrangements according to the Boss's instructions.
It was no wonder Glenn was so excited. He had just learned from Li Wei that this batch of black cod had been out of the water for less than 12 hours, which was when black cod was freshest.
This kind of high-quality black cod is very popular with high-end restaurants, middle-class families, and wealthy people.
If handled well, he could definitely make a fortune.
Glenn and his group arrived at the dock in a grand manner. The Sea Monster had already been given priority to enter the dock berth through Glenn's connections.
When Glenn arrived on the Sea Monster and saw the black cod in the cabin, he said in shock,
"My god, Li Wei, you've found the black cod's den!"
"Hehehe! We were just lucky."
Glenn also knew this was someone else's secret, especially a place where a large amount of black cod could be caught, which was a secret among secrets. So he stopped asking and instructed the staff beside him to start sampling and testing.
More than ten minutes later, the test report was delivered to Glenn.
"Li Wei, time is tight this time. I won't haggle with you. 5 us dollars per pound, I'll buy it all."
"Okay, Glenn Uncle."
Li Wei didn't intend to bargain with the other party this time and directly agreed to the purchase price.
Moreover, he guessed what Glenn was planning to do; he had seen it many times in his previous life.
When Li Wei came out of the fisheries company, he had an extra check in his hand.
Glenn, on the other hand, ran back to the office to make phone calls; he still had a lot of work to arrange.
Buck and the other two saw Li Wei come out and quickly ran up, asking curiously,
"Boss, how much money did we make?"
"Yes, yes, tell us quickly!"
Seeing that all three were very curious, Li Wei said directly,
"OK, I'll tell you now. We made 385,000 us dollars this trip."
"Wow! We really struck it rich this trip."
"385,000 us dollars! I think I can buy my own house when I go back."
"I'm going to send my three daughters to private school."
"..."
Li Wei was also very happy at this time. Earning 385,000 us dollars in one day at sea was something he wouldn't even dare to dream of in his previous life.
He was originally still feeling disoriented because of the shipwreck, but now he felt that fishing wasn't bad either, and there weren't those annoying things.
