Don't even think about it. The water there is shallow and the tide is high; in the shallowest areas, it's only one or two meters deep. Forget about yachts; even a kayak would require caution, or else you'd end up stranded!
Later, let your Father-in-law choose a location for you. He knows that area well and has several businesses there. Finding a suitable property for a Fishing Tackle Shop shouldn't be too difficult!
Shi Tian hadn't considered that his carefully thought-out plan, which he had been mulling over for days, was dismissed in an instant by Old Kong's words.
A river surface that spans dozens of kilometers with a depth of only one or two meters? It might not be an issue; with the Mini Air Force's draft depth, it could barely make it across. At worst, they could just avoid going out to sea during low tide!
However, Old Kong had a point. The Qiantang River's Spring Tide is no joke. Even if the tide appears to be only two meters high, when it crashes against the riverbank, it can surge up to ten meters in an instant. If the boat is anchored too close to the shore, it could lead to trouble.
To dock on the Qiantang River, one would have to go upstream. But going upstream means traveling over a hundred kilometers, which is quite inconvenient!
Li Yunfei has businesses over there? That means he must know something about that area. Why not ask Li Yunfei for some advice?
But then again, when it comes to fishing, Shi Ye has far more experience than Li Yunfei! When in doubt, why not call Shi Ye? After all those years of fishing, he must have gone out to sea from Zhoushan at least once!
This matter needs to be discussed with Shi Ye first; he can provide some insight.
Setting up a branch in Hangzhou was turning out to be more complicated than Shi Tian had anticipated!
Upon returning to the courtyard, Li Ziyu had just come back from the shop and looked pleased—clearly satisfied with the rapid development of the food street.
The two of them slipped into the kitchen where the old man was chatting and drinking tea with Shi Ye and Li Yunfei outside.
Your son-in-law mentioned in the car that he wants to open a Fishing Tackle Shop branch in Hangzhou and is looking for recommendations for places that could accommodate both freshwater and sea fishing. With a cup of hot tea in hand, Old Kong teased Li Yunfei.
After spending an afternoon fishing, none of them seemed interested in discussing collaboration; they were casually chatting about Shi Tian's branch in Hangzhou.
To save face for Shi Tian, Old Kong refrained from mentioning Shi Tian's outrageous idea of opening a store in Haining and building a Yacht Dock—otherwise, Shi Tian would be utterly embarrassed!
Where would you find the sea in Hangzhou? The vast Hangzhou Bay is nothing but mudflats; there's not even a single deep-water dock capable of accommodating a ten-thousand-ton vessel!
Li Yunfei's words would bring tears to any Hangzhou native’s eyes. Guarding the Grand Canal is one thing, but when Yang Guang connected it back then, he certainly didn't consider accommodating large ships!
With hundreds of kilometers of coastline at Hangzhou Bay, it's so shallow that even cargo ships hesitate to enter.
From top to bottom, there's not a single suitable location for building a deep-water port; they'd have to bridge over to Zhoushan for solutions.
After poking fun at Hangzhou, Li Yunfei lifted his cup of tea and said: A single store can only cover so much area. If we strategically open several more stores, it would yield better results than just having one! I'll have someone find him a few storefronts; he just needs to focus on stocking them.
(Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Shi Tian lightly held his compass as everyone celebrated prosperity and good fortune in the Year of the Dragon!
Yan Ling sparkled as Yi Gong calculated fortunes for everyone—may your homes thrive and your careers flourish in this New Year!
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!)
