Practice, study, and make money. In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed, the meat had been eaten, the passports had been completed, the flights had been booked, and it was time to leave.

The two packed up, each of them only carried a backpack, and packed all the things, as for knives and the like, Liu Danqing already had a plan.

They hailed a car on their phone app and dropped them off at the airport to Cathay Pacific to Boston, the capital and largest city in Massachusetts, and their destination was Gloucester, northeast of Boston.

Gloucester is the oldest seaport in the country, much earlier than Boston and Salem, and it is just over an hour's drive from Boston.

In Gloucester, Massachusetts, there is a special group of fishermen, who have used rods and lines to catch erratic bluefin tuna for generations, this is one of the holy places for fishing enthusiasts, every September to December, is the tuna fishing season in the United States, in addition to the professional tuna fishermen in Gloucester, there are many amateur fishermen who also come here, drive their own boats or charter boats, participate in this activity.

You can actually fish for tuna on a regular basis, but you can't sell it, so you can only eat it yourself or make a taxidermy.

Liu Danqing advocates the laws of nature, thinking that if you hang up a fish, you should eat it, and the tuna is so big that you can't eat it yourself, so the best choice is to sell it, which is the best, and it is shameful to waste.

After a transit in Xiangjiang, they spent a total of 21 hours, and finally arrived in Boston at about 21 minutes BJ time in the afternoon of the next day, that is, at more than 9 o'clock in the morning of United States time.

Ningshi flies to Hong Kong with an Airbus 330, and Hong Kong flies to Boston with a Boeing 777, both of which are large passenger planes.

So along the way, in addition to being a little bored, I was not tired physically at all.

And how can such a thing as jet lag happen to our two protagonists, who are more physically fit than the existence of special forces.

After leaving the airport, Liu Danqing called a car and took Xiao Weiwei straight to Boston's largest fishing tackle store, which is the Boston branch of Bass Pro, the largest fishing tackle chain in the United States.

When she got off the bus at the place, Xiao Weiwei looked at the signboard at the door and said suspiciously: "Qingqing, didn't you say that you would take me to the largest fishing tackle store in the United States, why is this an outdoor goods store?"

Liu Danqing pulled her inside, and explained as she went: "Diversification, originally Bass Pro only sold fishing gear, but later became famous, and began to concurrently sell other outdoor products, but even if other things are removed, the fishing gear they sell is also the most complete and the best quality." ”

Now, their new stores will have a theme park, some are aquariums, some are bear parks, etc., all according to local characteristics, this is one of their oldest stores, after all, it has the oldest fishing port in the United States. ”

When you walk into this store, the first thing you feel is that it is large, not only in terms of area, but also in terms of floor height, which is estimated to be more than 10 meters.

With Xiao Weiwei, Liu Danqing went straight to the fishing tackle area, here he was also the first time to come, but in the previous life, he had been to Bass Pro in Maple Leaf Country, and he went with a local friend, and through the introduction of friends, he also learned about the strength of this store in the fishing world of the United States.

"Wow!" Xiao Weiwei exclaimed: "Qingqing, there are still boats sold here!"

In the fishing gear area, the most eye-catching is the rows of fishing boats, from more than three meters of small boats to more than ten meters of boats, the bigger ones are not nothing, but they are not displayed, after all, no matter how big they are, they belong to the yachts, and the average person who buys a yacht will go to the exhibition or directly find the manufacturer.

These fishing boats have completely changed Xiao Weiwei's concept of fishing gear, and it turns out that fishing gear can be so good.

Even Liu Danqing, who had been to Bass Pro in his previous life, couldn't help but be amazed, this is big business, don't look at this chain is not famous, but the profit alone may not be less than those large groups, and the real muffled fortune is made.

This also strengthened his idea of creating his own outdoor brand, and dozens of such stores began in China by then.

Looking around, Liu Danqing directly found a middle-aged man with a manager's sign on his chest, walked over, and greeted him in English: "Hello."

This manager is actually equivalent to a sales supervisor in a supermarket, or a lobby manager in a hotel, but for Liu Danqing, this person's ability should be enough.

"Hello, can I help you?" the manager also greeted politely, and now the purchasing power of the Chinese people has been fully affirmed all over the world, so the manager is also very enthusiastic.

Liu Danqing sorted out his thoughts and said, "Mike, you can call me Liu, I want to buy some fishing tackle for sea fishing, including tuna and big marlin, can you help me?"

The scientific name of the big marlin is herring, but except for the professors, no one calls it that, Europeans and Americans like to call it the big marlin, it is the overlord of the sailfish, fierce temperament, and extremely fast, and even kills sharks and tuna, is recognized as the most difficult fish to catch.

In Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea", it took the protagonist three days and was stabbed by the sharp mouth of the big marlin to subdue a big marlin, and once when someone was fishing for a big marlin, the fishing boat was pulled out by it for nearly ten kilometers, and finally broke free from the hook.

The manager's eyes lit up when he heard that Liu Danqing's fishing gear was about to be bought, including the fishing of large marlin.

Difficult to fish, which means that the price of fishing gear is also higher, the most difficult to fish, is the highest, a set of ordinary fishing tackle that can catch large marlin, the price is also about 10,000 US dollars, the top one needless to say, there is no most expensive, only more expensive.

"Of course, just call me Mike, and I'll show you those charming little things. Mike replied with a smile and introduced himself.

"Let's start with the rods, you see, these are the rods that can catch tuna, mostly carbon fiber, and if you're going to try the biggest big marlin, then there's this one, the nanoboron rod, which is the best combination of strength and flexibility. ”

Xiao Weiwei was dazzled by this row of fishing rods, the bottom end was about the thickness of her forearm, and the top was the thickness of her fingers, generally between two and a half to three meters five, and some were longer, but rarely.

Their biggest feature is that they are made as a whole, that is, they cannot be segmented or shrunk, they are so long, which is to ensure the sturdiness and flexibility of the rod, and the integrated casting is undoubtedly much better than the segmented rod.

Think about the opponents of these fishing rods, tuna that can grow to nearly 1,000 catties, and large marlin that can grow to nearly 1,000 kilograms, and ordinary fishing rods simply can't go into battle.
