Chapter 99: My Money Is All Hard Earned

"Captain, everyone has been arranged, can you pull the anchor and set sail?"

Ryugo checked back and forth on the ship, walked into the captain's room and whispered to the boss for instructions.

"Set sail, you look at them a little bit, if there are things you can experience for them, let them help. Gu Kun rested his legs on the console, squinted pretendly, and commanded casually.

"Pull anchor and set sail!" Ryugo shouted over the intercom, and the voice spread throughout the ship.

"We're here to help with the anchor together. Huang Han took the lead in shouting, and took a few boys on the boat, all of whom were curious to go to the anchor.

A few sailors knew that they were the boss's classmates, and they were polite, but then they were stopped by Ryugo, who walked to the deck to command.

"The boss said, let them experience the experience, it's not tiring. ”

Those classmates and friends were very excited to have the opportunity to participate in sailing for the first time.

Gu Kun also expected this, so he didn't want to disturb them for the time being. Just let those guys play around for a while and let off the freshness.

He sat alone in the captain's room, with the chart in front of him, and reviewed his plans for this voyage in his heart for the last time.

Since the "Nightingale" was bought, Gu Kun has thought about fishing for a more valuable Southeast Asian shipwreck, returning to the capital, and further raising funds for the follow-up plan by the way.

After browsing all the 15 boats that he wrote down in a small notebook after his rebirth (including three of them that had been caught and crossed out), he finally set his sights on this Ming Dynasty Spanish shipwreck east of the Philippines and bay and south of Okinawa.

The choice of this target was carefully considered by a number of factors.

First of all, the first thing Gu Kun thought about at that time was the question of "whether he should keep it a complete secret if he fished other ships in the future".

The fishing boat itself does not cause hatred, at most it only makes peers a little jealous.

What really arouses hostility and even hostility is only "illegal procedures for fishing for sunken ships in other countries' territorial waters and exclusive economic zones."

After thinking about this at the beginning, Gu Kun decided that this time the act of going to sea and fishing for another boat should be able to be made public after he got it.

The reason is very simple, because there are limits to the previous "covering up gray income in the name of law". You have earned a white penny, and you can only cover up five or six gray coins for you.

Just like Gu Kun at the beginning of his debut, he used seafood to cover up sonar, and later used marine survey fees to cover up the shipwrecks around the three Lanfangs, which is basically this ratio.

Therefore, if Gu Kun's money is an order of magnitude more, it will definitely not make sense, so it is better to directly fish for a boat that can see the light.

Now that he has the Nightingale, the ability to work at high speeds in the ocean is no longer a problem.

In case of encountering other passing ships, there is no difficulty in discovering in advance and camouflaging and transferring them with the military-grade search radar and sonar of the former Soviet Union at the end of the 80s on the "Nightingale".

In addition, the "Nightingale" is a scientific research ship with his own independent property rights, and all the gains made with the Nightingale will not cause disputes and jealousy over dirt - and this point had to be considered when he chartered the research ship of the University Design Institute before.

Because the scientific research ship of Jiaotong University, when it was leased to Gu Kun, the purpose stated in the contract was "marine topographic survey". If Gu Kun took the fishing boat by the way, it was more or less "not in accordance with the contract" and "misappropriated for other purposes", and if the lessor wanted to increase the money because of this, it had to be guarded against.

It's like renting a storefront and saying you want to open a restaurant, but you open an entertainment venue and make more money. As a result, landlords want to raise rents, which is not too common in business partnerships.

And all these risks, when Gu Kun got the ship that belonged to him completely, did not exist.

Therefore, of course, we must eat up this dividend and get a good ship on the high seas that is morally and legally flawless.

Not only do you want to make a big profit, but you also have to use this innocent ship to cover for more sources of income in the future.

......

Gu Kun spent an hour or two alone in the captain's room, thoroughly understanding these truths, and also planning the operations on the map and the route planning.

Then he closed his little notebook and locked it in a small safe in the captain's room where only he knew the code.

Then, he walked out onto the deck to check how his classmates were doing.

These people are all used by him as a cover, and they will be a witness in the future.

But the fake show must also be really done, since it is out to play, it is fun, and by the way, it is easy to refine, so as to identify who is suitable for living at sea in the future.

Of course, these are all high-achieving students of Jiaotong University. The so-called living at sea is not to be a seafarer, but to engage in marine engineering like Du Guowei.

The ship has been out to sea for two hours, about 40 nautical miles from the Pudong pier.

Because the ship is heading southeast, it is currently in the sea area between Daixian Island and Shengxian Island in Chuanshan City. This is also a famous fishing ground in East China, so many students picked up the fishing tackle on the boat and began to experience sea fishing.

Gu Kun saw Zhou Yaoguang holding a binocular, standing on the deck and looking around, walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "What are you looking at? Why don't you fish with them?"

Zhou Yaoguang put down the binoculars and calmly pointed to some small islands like black spots in the distance: "I'm identifying it against the chart, that island should be Shengxian Island, and this one in the south is Daixian Island, so with the compass, we can deduce our current position, which should be at the intersection of these two lines......"

"You really think it's a professional internship, Oceania, a few months ago, a thing called GPS was launched, and in the future, these common sense skills at sea will be useless. Gu Kun teased casually.

Zhou Yaoguang also did not refute directly: "Then fishing is useless, if you want to eat fish, is it not cost-effective for this kind of big boat to rely on fishing? ”

Gu Kun nodded secretly: "So, you like to play and think it's interesting - they fish for fun, not for food." ”

It seems that Zhou Yaoguang is a bit industrious, and he doesn't like those sporty leisure.

The two were chatting when there was a few heckling voices on the other side of the boat. Gu Kun and Zhou Yaoguang immediately walked over, and it turned out that other students were watching Gao Jianxiong fishing.

Huang Han took the fishing rod and sighed convincingly: "Brother Gao has been mixing at sea for ten years, and this skill is amazing." Just now I saw that he had slipped away for so long, and I thought that this fish must be unhooked. ”

Gu Kun smiled and asked, "Don't you have any gains?"

Huang Han pointed to the iron bucket beside him, the largest fish in it was only one or two catties: "I'm just playing around, how can I compare with them, after an hour, I caught three, and the largest one is less than two percent of the size of others." ”

"Brother Gao caught this wild yellow croaker! This one is at least seven or eight catties. Tang Jia on the side saw Gu Kun coming to check, and hurriedly coaxed and showed off, while saying a few words of provocative worship to Gao Jianxiong, which made the other party embarrassed.

"Seven catties of wild yellow croaker? Gu Kun took the harvest that Tang Jia handed him and weighed it, "I'm happy today, we'll use it to cook yellow croaker in soup at noon in a while, and put some snow cabbage." ”

By May this year, the East China Sea will have a formal fishing ban for the first year, and the total installed capacity of fishing vessels in the East China Sea provinces will not be allowed to increase again, because the catch here has already entered the stage of saturation. In the future, wild yellow croaker and hairtail fish in the East China Sea will slowly rise wildly.

If it is left in 20 years, such a large wild yellow croaker must not be worth at least five figures.

From this point of view, Gu Kun, as a reborn person, was actually not too timely to be reborn at the beginning - he was the guy who started fishing and made his first pot of gold. And wild seafood, the later the age, the more scarce the resource, the more valuable it is.

In 94/95, it can only be said that seafood has begun to become more expensive, but it cannot be compared with the future at all.

Gu Kun was thinking about it, and Gao Jianxiong on the side couldn't stand the praise of the female college student, so he felt awkward, and hurriedly shifted his firepower: "Mr. Gu is also from the sea, and my level is not worth mentioning at all." If you want to open your eyes, let him show his hand. ”

"Really, Ah Kun, you can also show your hand, catch a big one for us to see. Tang Jia said and touched him with his arm and handed him the fishing rod.

Gu Kun smacked twice: "I like simple and rude, I can't slip fish, and before I look for big fish, I have to listen to the fish detector first, and I don't like to gamble on luck." ”

"Whatever you want, just get the big fish. ”

"Then you wait for me for two minutes. Gu Kun said, and went back to the captain's room, and after a while, the students noticed that the boat had slightly adjusted its course and slightly reduced the speed of the boat.

Ryugo also came out of the captain's room and instructed the other sailors to prepare to lower the net.

Tang Jia said curiously: "Isn't it fishing? ”

Gu Kun: "Just catching a big fish, it is estimated that the oil money for this turn is not enough." Of course, after I caught a lot of goods, I asked them to immediately make up the knife and catch all the fish next to me. ”

"So confident?"

Under the gaze of his roommates and female classmates, Gu Kun estimated the direction, and then threw the rod violently, throwing out the special fishing line dozens of meters away.

He used a line of fishing gear with multiple hooks, and the line coil had enough room for one or two hundred meters to be placed. Because the big yellow croaker has a certain group habitat, if the master masters it well, it is possible to pull up a few of them with one shot.

Of course, in the 21st century, it would never be possible, not because the habits of the fish have changed, but because the fish of this size in the sea have long been caught.

Gu Kun completed all the movements in a chic and leisurely manner, and then waited for a while.

It didn't take long for him to feel the change in the strength of the fishing line and rod in his hand, and he estimated that it was almost there, and began to quickly twist the rod.

Dozens of meters of fishing line were quickly retracted, and splashes began to appear on the water.

"It's so big, the rod is a little bent, do you want to take a walk? After Tang Jia saw it, he held his chin with both hands, and he was a little nervous.

"What a walk. "Gu Kun doesn't have that intention at all, because Lao Tzu won't.

He took a harpoon with a rope at the end, weighed it in his hand, adjusted to the weight, and then pulled the line to a position less than ten meters away from the side of the boat, and aimed and threw it with all his might.

Then, it was a two-pronged approach, the rod and the harpoon were reeled together, and the boat was simply and rudely pulled onto the side of the ship.

A 500-ton fishing boat with a freeboard is only two meters high, and it is easy to pull up.

"I'm going, it's so big, it's ...... Is this one 20 pounds?" Tang Jia couldn't help but ask.

"If you don't have 20 catties, it's at least 15 catties, such a big fish is rare to see once a year, and Brother Gu actually has it as soon as he shoots. Zhou Yaoguang sighed and commented. He knows the market better because he is a local and eats more.

Gu Kun smiled indifferently: "When I'm kidding, this boat is what I personally caught a season of seafood vendors in Guangdong before the Canton Fair last year, and then bought it."

If you catch fish for three months, you can believe that you don't have two brushes, and my money is all hard-earned!"

Couldn't be cleanest.
