Hanging the Bait Cage, the four people over there were catching fish one after another, reeling in both Red Gourd Fish and Zhang Hong, causing Shi Chui and Head Brother to feel somewhat flustered.
Equally troubled were Shui Bi Zhang and his group, watching as Shi Tian and his companions occasionally pulled in a fish while they had been fishing at a depth of ten meters based on Man Cang's earlier advice for an entire hour without even a nibble!
One of the hardships of being a fisherman is watching others catch fish while you remain empty-handed. Under such circumstances, being able to endure for an hour without pulling up the rod and leaving shows a commendable mindset.
Directing Man Cang to bring the boat a little closer, Shui Bi Zhang stood at the bow and asked the group, "Brothers, what bait are you using? How deep are you fishing? We've been here for an hour with no bites!"
Among the four, three were familiar with Shui Bi Zhang. Oka wasn't well-acquainted with him but had seen him a few times at the shop, so approaching him for advice was no issue.
"Hanging the Bait Cage and fishing at the bottom!" came the response. "Remember to redeem your barbecue for each question!" Shui Bi Zhang raised his head, while Shi Tian continued casting his line.
He took Yun Wan'er's words to heart; Shui Bi Zhang was indeed capable. A capable person is a talent, and what matters is whether you have the means to let that person fully showcase their abilities.
Shi Tian believed he didn't possess such means, but that didn't stop him from keeping Shui Bi Zhang in reserve with Shui Laoban. Whenever he had the means or urgently needed someone like him, he could just bring him over.
Having received the information, Shui Bi Zhang was also particular. He instructed Man Cang Hao to retreat nearly a hundred meters while leading several Old Bosses to set up the Bait Cage properly. One by one, they cast their lines and waited patiently for the fish to bite.
"Xiao Tian, will your Wheel be on sale after the New Year?" Oka casually asked Shi Tian as another Red Gourd Fish was caught.
Shi Tian's rod was equipped with an Xing Brand Electric Reel, just like Sun Lang's rod. Both Shi Chui and Head Brother were using new rods fitted with Xing Brand Electric Reels as well, indicating that the production of these Electric Reels was quite good.
With production on the rise, could it be time to try something new? On this boat with six people, only he and Wang Gou still didn't have an Xing Brand Electric Reel.
"The Wheel? It should be available after the New Year! Dog Brother mentioned wanting one before; I'll think of a way for you guys! But the price might be a bit high—retail could be around one hundred thousand. If I sell it to you guys, I’ll only charge you cost price which would still be around ten thousand."
"Get me two! After we land, I'll transfer the money to you!" As soon as Shi Tian finished speaking, Oka immediately placed an order.
"Get one for me too! I placed my order over a month ago; you can't forget about it!" Oka chimed in as Wang Gou quickly reminded him.
Wang Gou had indeed mentioned it before; during their last trip out to sea together, he had used his rod to bargain for Da Gui Wang and his crew. If Wang Gou hadn't reminded him, Shi Tian might have completely forgotten about it.
"I haven't forgotten; how could I forget what you told me?" he replied sheepishly. "I’ll get you guys' contact information for the Wheel; it will definitely be ready before the New Year!" Feeling guilty about discussing ten thousand while fishing felt pretty good!
"Xiao Tian, are you interested in starting a fishing club? Your rod is high-end; ordinary people definitely can't afford it. We could set up a club focusing on high-end business gatherings, get a few Fishing Yachts, make some money, and then sell off those rods—it should work out well!"
After settling on the Wheel deal, Oka casually suggested.
The market for ordinary Fishing Boats was already saturated; there was no room left for that. However, establishing a high-end Sea Fishing club in Sanya would certainly be promising and there’s quite a market for it.
Oka thought about starting it himself but lacked connections and faced significant initial investment costs with long payback periods. If Shi Tian took charge of it, he could invest some funds and collaborate on buying two yachts.
Oka's idea wasn't bad; however, thinking about it was one thing—given Shi Tian's current capabilities, he really didn’t have such bold ambitions yet.
"Brother, you're overestimating me! Starting a club—especially a high-end one—would require at least a few yachts! This boat I’m using is someone else’s; where would I get that much money to buy yachts? Let’s wait until I make some money first!"
The yacht-like vessel could withstand four-meter-high waves and operate within a range of two hundred nautical miles. The Mini Air Force was also a type of yacht, but Shi Tian definitely wouldn’t take it to Xisha. With such a small boat, traveling that far felt a bit concerning.
If they were aiming for a high-end club, they couldn’t settle for less; the target had to be at least Xisha, Zhong Sha, and Dongsha. Xisha was accessible for fun, while Zhong Sha had no islands to land on and was not open to visitors. However, the fishing there was quite lively, making it an ideal fishing spot.
Dongsha was a different story; it was the closest to the mainland and administratively belonged to Shanwei, but in reality, it was controlled by Kaohsiung. Nevertheless, that didn’t stop them from going out on boats to fish. If the frogs dared to croak, they’d just toss them into a hot pot!
Hearing Shi Tian’s words, Oka felt somewhat helpless. He had initially wanted to persuade Shi Tian to establish a high-end club together, but it seemed clear now that Shi Tian had no intention of doing so.
It was understandable; if Shi Tian wanted to start a club, he would do it himself. He had a wealthy master backing him and a solid connection with the Air Force. The Mini Air Force had practically become Shi Tian’s private yacht, and he had heard from Scallion Ginger Fishy that Shi Tian’s family even owned a villa area—money was certainly not an issue.
“Have you heard about Xisha lately? I’ve heard the tuna there are plentiful. A while back, I fished between Ganquan Island and Coral Island and caught one over two hundred pounds!”
Not wanting to dwell on the club situation with Oka, Shi Tian shifted the conversation directly to Xisha. Oka couldn’t possibly be unaware of the great fishing conditions there; the fish situation was like a clarion call for fishermen, and Shi Tian didn’t believe Oka wouldn’t be tempted.
