Chapter 37: Accepting a Hellish Deep-Sea Fishing Mission?
Chapter 37: Accepting a Hellish Deep-Sea Fishing Mission?
The sound of tires crunching over the gravel road could be heard.
A black car was smoothly parked at the edge of the net-drying area.
The car door opened, and Tang Mingyuan stepped out.
Two bodyguards in black suits followed closely behind.
Despite having worked in the business world for many years, the scene before him still made Tang Mingyuan's eyelids twitch slightly.
He looked at Lin Chen, who was leaning against the wooden chair, panting.
One man took down more than a dozen armed thugs.
Before coming to Huangni Village, this senior executive of the hotel thought Lin Chen was just an honest fisherman with good luck.
Now he needs to reassess the young man in front of him.
This is not an ordinary young man.
Tang Mingyuan put away his airs.
A smile spread across his face.
"Brother Lin, you've been frightened."
"The boss heard about what happened here and specifically asked me to make a trip. This is just a small token of my appreciation, to help calm my nerves."
The beam of the flashlight just swept across the piece of paper.
A cash check from Chase Bank.
The number five is followed by four zeros.
Fifty thousand yuan.
Even if the small-scale fishermen in Huangni Village worked hard at sea for two years, they couldn't save up this much money.
The sound of swallowing saliva could be heard from the crowd.
Tang Mingyuan handed the check forward.
He's very skilled at using this trick.
Big bosses like to settle favors with quick money.
After receiving this 50,000, Lin Chen will become a supplier for Yunhai Pavilion, doing business for money.
We get paid to do things, so nobody owes anyone anything.
Lin Chen looked down at the check.
This 50,000 yuan is enough to buy a complete set of new netting and engine, and can also allow my parents to live a stable life for more than half a year.
Lin Chen flicked his wrist and pushed the check back to Tang Mingyuan's chest.
"Mr. Tang, I can't accept this money."
Tang Mingyuan was stunned.
He looked into Lin Chen's eyes and realized that the young man was not joking.
"If Zhang Tiejun dares to cause me trouble today, he'll dare to cut off other people's livelihoods tomorrow. The money from Yunhai Pavilion can save me once, but it can't save the fishermen of Huangni Village."
"What does Brother Lin mean?"
Tang Mingyuan put the check away.
He realized that things were not going well.
"I hope to obtain official permission from the Yunhaige Fishermen's Direct Supply Alliance."
"We can sign a long-term purchase agreement. From now on, Yunhai Pavilion will buy goods from Huangni Village at market prices. With you in front of us, those local thugs will have to think twice before trying to mess with us again."
Tang Mingyuan re-evaluated Lin Chen.
This kid has a big appetite.
He wanted to use the hotel's reputation to get things done.
This is tantamount to letting Yunhaige shield them from the troubles behind Zhang Tiejun.
"Brother Lin, your request is beyond my authority."
"Then please have Mr. Tang make a call to the person who can make the decision."
Tang Mingyuan stared at Lin Chen for a while.
He took out his phone, dialed the number, and put it on speakerphone.
After a few beeps, the call connected.
"Mingyuan, is everything settled?"
Tang Mingyuan glanced at Lin Chen.
He truthfully reported the situation on the scene and Lin Chen's requirements.
There was silence for about ten seconds on the other end of the phone.
"Brother Lin, are you listening?"
"exist."
"You're a bit ambitious, I like that. You want to use the name of Yunhai Pavilion to do things, fine."
The big boss paused for a moment.
"I have a VIP dinner with guests from out of province tomorrow night. This dinner is crucial to Yunhai Pavilion's development in that province next year."
"Within 24 hours".
"Get me a wild giant grouper weighing over 200 pounds."
"If I can get it, I'll agree."
"If we can't get it, from now on we'll only talk about business, not friendship."
Old He waved his hands repeatedly.
He spoke urgently.
"A giant gentian weighing two hundred pounds. Those kinds of creatures are long gone from nearshore areas. Even in the open sea, without a steel-hulled ship and equipment weighing tens of tons, encountering one would cause an accident."
"Our twelve-meter boat can't withstand this force."
Wang Fuhai was also extremely anxious, feeling that this matter could not be completed.
The giant gentian grouper is very large.
They usually live in the deep sea.
This type of fish is very strong once it takes the bait, enough to capsize a small boat.
"Okay, I'll take it."
The big boss on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds.
"Great. I'll wait for your news."
The phone hangs up.
Tang Mingyuan bowed slightly to Lin Chen.
The way he looks at Lin Chen has changed.
"Brother Lin, I wish you good luck."
The car turned around and disappeared at the village entrance.
Wang Fuhai stepped forward, his lips trembling as he tried to speak but then swallowed his words back.
Lin Chen refused the money.
Old He's eyes were red.
He wiped his face.
He'd been fishing his whole life and had never seen anyone give up so much money for someone else.
"Tatsuko."
Lin Jianguo patted his son on the shoulder, knowing perfectly well why he did it.
"Go back to sleep, everyone."
"Tomorrow morning, those who need to go out to sea will go out to sea, and those who need to fix the network will fix it. The alliance will be there for you no matter what."
Lin Chen sat at the wooden table in the room and washed his face with cold water.
The intelligence panel refreshed on time.
The first three are all normal fish movement patterns.
Lin Chen skipped over the last piece of special intelligence and focused his attention on it.
The panel provides a prompt.
The target was in the Devil's Reef area, where a wild giant grouper weighing 215 pounds was found.
It now lives in a deep-water cave and is highly aggressive.
Because this fish is so big, it can't be caught with ordinary nets or by hand; you need to use a special high-intensity fishing rig and tranquilizer bait.
Lin Chen stared at the red dot on the map.
That's Devil's Reef.
The old fishermen in the village dare not go there.
The current is very strong there, and the bottom is full of rocks. Every year, boats have accidents there.
To catch that 200-pound fish, our current equipment is definitely not enough.
He opened the system store.
His eyes sifted quickly through the various props.
He needs to prepare some advanced equipment for his sea voyage tomorrow.
