Zhongdong Software Co., Ltd. is one of the largest companies in China, mainly engaged in the development of various business and government office software. Chen Hui, chairman and general manager, from the establishment of Zhongdong Software in 1999 to the listing of Zhongdong Software in Hong Kong in 2003, in 2015, Zhongdong Software has been one of the top five office management software developers in China.

However, now in 2006, Zhongdong Software is not as prosperous as it was later. Although it is a listed company, the company's stock price is incomparable with the leaders UFIDA and Kingdee. If you really want to say that it is relatively open in northern Hebei Province, the imperial capital has also won a little government office market by virtue of its relationship.

As for the opportunity for the take-off of Zhongdong Software, Hou Shida vaguely knew one thing, that is, in 2006, he won the industry software tender developed by a certain department.

Forty million, the amount of a software tender. The function of this software is mainly to assign to schools and Internet cafes, and it is used to identify whether a specific group of people have visited some illegal websites that are harmful to the body and mind.

Based on Hou Shida's later research on that software, the development cost should not even be 100,000 yuan. It was extremely unstable on the XP system that was commonly used at the time, and more importantly, it was later made a big joke that through the software's built-in blacklist, users could effortlessly learn the specific URL of "illegal websites that are harmful to the body and mind".

This incident later made a bit of a big fuss, but even so, Zhongdong Software made more than 20 million yuan in this single business. More importantly, he used this as an opportunity to tie himself to certain people in a certain department. No matter how big the matter was later, in the end, it was a live advertisement for Zhongdong Software - look, brother's backstage is so hard, what can you do with me?

Since then, although Zhongdong Software has been silent for a period of time, it has ushered in a golden age of great development. By 2015, I dare not say that it is the king in the management software market, but it is slightly inferior to the domestic leaders such as UFIDA and Kingdee.

How easy is it for Hou Shida to make Chen Hui and even Zhongdong Software pay the price?

Start a business first, slowly develop into a large company, and then find Zhongdong Software and Chen Hui to settle accounts? I'm sorry, I'm afraid Hou Shida doesn't have such good patience. If there is a grudge, there will be no night, this is his principle.

Hou Shida knew that he would go to the trouble of Zhongdong Software now, and he would probably fall into it. No matter how it is not fully developed, today's Zhongdong Software is also a large company, and there is no relationship between the top level, but it is still much stronger than ordinary people.

What's more, the current Zhongdong Software and Chen Hui have not harmed you Hou Shida.

But who cares!

Hou Shida is such a person, emotionally not as rational as a program, but more willing to follow his feelings.

Zhongdong software is very powerful, if you endure this breath because of this, then Hou Shida is not Hou Shida. If he could have done so, he would not have turned down the position of chief architect and left Zhongdong Software, and finally was killed in a car accident.

Whether it is a little naïve or cautious, the only thing Hou Shida pursues as a man is pleasure, that is, the idea of conscience.

Yes, now this Chen Hui and Zhongdong Software can be said to have not provoked Hou Shida at all, and in this new history, maybe they will never provoke themselves.

But Hou Shida knew in his heart what they had done for the benefit of money. trampling on the law, seeking money and killing people, if there is no retribution for this kind of person, Hou Shida himself will look down on himself.

Since there is no law to punish them for the mistakes they did not commit, let yourself do it and nip all evil in the bud.

What's more, the bad things done by China Mobile Software and Chen Hui are not only this one, this kind of cancer-like company, if destroyed, it will only be better for China's software industry.

People like Chen Hui are poor and destitute, and they will always make more people happier than him.

Hou Shida is not selfless, but he is not absolutely selfish either. For him, what he and Chen Hui wanted was just peace of mind.

In order to make yourself feel happy, Zhongdong Software must die! And Chen Hui also has to pay the price for what he has done and what he has not done!

How can Chen Hui be made to pay the price? Hou Shida thought about it again and again, what does he have at this time? A poor senior college student, the only thing he has is his own hands.

In this case, let's use these hands to overturn the giant ship of Zhongdong software.

How to do it, in fact, he already has a rough plan in mind. For 2006, the power of the Internet has only just emerged, and what kind of power netizens have is only the tip of the iceberg.

Hou Shida opened a notepad and began to crack on the keyboard.

40 million pieces of software, as long as this kind of thing explodes, it will definitely be a heavyweight bomb. It's different from back then, when the entire contract was executed and the software broke out after it was launched. Now that Zhongdong Software has just won the bid, the contract has not been fulfilled, and the backstage that Chen Hui hooked up with should not be so unable to get off the ship.

Hou Shida's later generations wrote tens of thousands of words of executive documents, product planning and the like, and typing has always used a very easy to use five-stroke input method. In just an hour, a breaking news article of more than 3,000 words was written.

If it is inevitable that there are problems such as vagueness in general breaking news articles, then Hou Shida's article is to name names. The content of the project, the contract number, the URL and screenshot of the public website, the specific inside story of the transaction, and whether it is troublesome to implement the functions of this software, he is an old business copywriter, and the article he writes is really leaky.

If you change to 2014, when the trend of fighting tigers is strong, such an article will be sent directly to ** and turn around, I don't know how many people will take off their hats and skin. However, it is only 2006, and the influence of the Internet and the overall climate may not reach such a level.

In order to expand the scope of influence, Hou Shida specially found a posting software from the Internet, and directly debug it and crack it to use it.

This kind of posting software is not uncommon in ten years, it has a variety of powerful functions, and it has given birth to countless online public opinion-oriented companies, opening up an unknown number of markets.

At this time, the most influential channel on the Internet is not **, but large community forums such as Tianya, Maopu, and Xici Hutong. As for Kaidi and Huang Yi, Hou Shida is not cheap enough to brush up on his presence in that kind of place. Banana people are not disgusting, but banana people who eat Chinese rice and drink Chinese water are too disgusting. As for Huang Yi, since he wants to be a media with an attitude, it is better to raise pigs.

However, after casually testing it a few times, Hou Shida frowned.

He also used this posting software when he was working, because the scope of circulation is small and the fee is high, and its reputation is still very good. I don't know if it's an early version, anyway, Hou Shida can be said to be quite uncomfortable to use now.

The registration information cannot be randomly generated, it must be filled in manually, and the verification code cannot be automatically identified, and the crawling URL and automatic top posting, and the reply post must also be set up in advance, which is really the stupidest software Hou Shida has ever seen.

There was really no way to force it, so Hou Shida had to write a posting software himself, using only part of the URL and registration data of the previous software.

Fortunately, these software are not complicated for him, and looking at the current software from the perspective of ten years later, in fact, Hou Shida does not like any application.

How can a person who is used to using office2013 not be crazy if he asks him to use office2003 again? It's easy to use with Windows 7, and the visual effect of XP also feels a little monotonous. Even the browser doesn't have chrome or Firefox, and the clumsiness of IE6 is annoying.

It seems a bit troublesome to say, but for Hou Shida, it only takes two or three hours to write such a software. The most precious thing about this kind of software is not the technology, but the data contained in the software itself.

In addition to the more famous large websites, small circles of websites such as Feiyang, oversized, and office workers are also very important. In the accumulation of small amounts, the influence of these small circles of forums is not smaller than that of large websites, not to mention that their user viscosity is even higher.

If it weren't for the worry of confidentiality and the shyness in his pocket, Hou Shida's correct thing to do would be to buy another batch of old accounts. Guide public opinion on the Internet, there are no hundreds or thousands of accounts, how embarrassed to say hello to fellow Internet promoters"

Before dinner time, Hou Shida had already completed all the preparations. He pressed the button on the rudimentary software interface, and the posting software began to automatically connect to the foreign proxy server, and then registered the website to start posting.

The data goes around from the foreign proxy server and back like this, which can give you some basic guarantees. Hou Shida is not a professional hacker, and he can only do so in terms of security.

Although the cat flutter was dilapidated later, in 2006 it was a comprehensive forum that could be as famous as Tianya. In less than half an hour, Hou Shida's post has appeared in the most conspicuous place on the entire Chinese network.

His posting software has an automatic detection function, and if a post falls out of the first page or is even locked or deleted, it can be reposted with a different proxy server and username.

Unless you don't allow a new user to speak, the site won't be able to stop him from posting. Like Tianya, Maopu and Xici Hutong, it is absolutely impossible to set up a forum moat like a niche website.

The online exposure is just the first step in the plan, and he still has a lot to do, but he doesn't have much time to waste on it.

Yawning and stretching, Hou Shida stood up and said hello to Li Jiufeng, touched his already rumbling stomach and hurried to the cafeteria.

And he didn't know what kind of chaos the Internet had fallen into at this time.

At first, Hou Shida's post had to let the software top it twice. I also used meaningless replies such as "top first and then look" or "sand you make a hair".

However, more than ten minutes later, soon Tianya and Maopu's posts appeared more than ten replies at the same time.

In half an hour, the posts on the two major forums reached tens of thousands of clicks, with more than 100 replies each. Tianya and Cat Pounce are all on the hot posts. The Xici Hu is a little worse than the previous two, but there are also dozens of replies, and netizens have a very heated discussion.

At this time, there is no need for the software written by Hou Shida to top post it himself, and his posts are always in the first position of the forum. The number of clicks and replies has also started to explode.

Not only these three big forums, but also the forums of other portals, Hou Shida, did not let go, and niche forums such as Feiyang, super large, and office workers also began to be discussed.

Although these niche forums are not as influential as the big forums and portals, they have higher user stickiness and stronger capabilities, and the content of Hou's posts was quickly verified.

Of course, all of these verifications point to the fact that what this post says is indeed true. Then the verification of these niche forums was quickly posted on the big forums.

At this time, it is not only Hou Shida's own post, but also some new posts that focus on discussing this matter.

Some people think that since the software has not yet been written, then 40 million may be a reasonable price - these people were quickly slapped in the face by professionals, it is not that there is no software with a price of 40 million, such as the eRP software used by the world's top 500 companies, it is not surprising that it sells for 40 million.

But that's the result of calculating all the costs in the implementation of eRP software, as for the software that filters illegal websites, professionals take the public bidding information found by netizens from the Internet, one by one, and calculate the requirements, and the result is the same as the conclusion Hou Shida obtained, but it is just a software that is not even worth 100,000 yuan.

Immediately, some small software companies and even independent programmers said that they would do the work themselves without 100,000 yuan, even if it was 80,000 yuan.

But then someone replied below, don't say 80,000, I'll do 50,000 too! So some people below continued to reduce the price, and the asking price of 30,000, 20,000, and even 8,000 was shouted.

Of course, everyone can see how many people are raising the bar here. However, in any case, the cost of such a software can never reach 40 million, and a consensus among netizens has gradually formed.

Once such a consensus is formed, it is too red-eyed. It's not a strange thing to be tired of attracting investment at this time, and there is no background and relationship to be able to take over government projects, and no one believes it when you say it. Anyway, society is like this, and everyone is used to it.

But this does not mean that it is common to see someone earn 40 million at a cost of 100,000 yuan in this form. The so-called tofu slag project, cut corners to make one or two times the profit. But this single order of Zhongdong Software has made a profit of 400 times......

It's hard to ignore this number, and it's hard not to be blushing.

When the salary of the vast majority of Chinese is still below 1,000 yuan, and the salary of ordinary IT practitioners is only one or two thousand, the single business of China Mobile Software is too eye-catching.

Netizens, or these ordinary people who go online, project their emotions about all the unfair things in life onto this matter at this moment.

But isn't there, could there be anything more unfair? The whole 40 million bidding money is almost pure earning, and if you look at yourself, let alone 40 million, even 40,000 is nothing. At the end of every month, I still owe the bank 400 yuan, who caused such days? Needless to ask, it's caused by scum and cysts like Zhongdong Software.

Such a breaking news post can detonate the resonance of netizens with the unfair events they have encountered in their lives almost instantly. What's more, the comparison of 400 times the profit is really too sensational.

China Motion Software, Chen Hui has always been excited during this period of time since he won this 40 million big order from a certain department. No one except him knows how much he paid for it in order to get on a relationship with a certain ministry.

However, it is not true that no one knows that Zhongdong Software is a Hong Kong-listed company, and its financial reports must be disclosed to the public every year. From the historical financial report of 2007, some people later calculated that the profit brought by this business to Zhongdong Software was about 15 million.

So the software with a cost of 100,000 yuan, the winning bid amount is 40 million, how can Zhongdong Software only make 15 million in the end? Where did the 24.9 million during this period go? At that time, someone pointed out that eighty percent of the money had already flowed into some people's personal pockets.

But the two five million did not hurt Chen Hui's heart, on the contrary, he rejoiced about it.

Zhongdong Software does not have a high level of technology, and there is no patented technology that others do not have. For a long time, it has been a relational route, taking projects through relationships and marketing.

One of the most criticized points of Zhongdong Software in the industry is that it is like a maggot on the tarsal bone. When they explore a local market, their favorite thing to do is to go through the relationship with the industrial and commercial bureau and get the list and contact information of local enterprises. Then do everything possible to get the contact information of the company's boss, and call people every once in a while, annoying you until you have to become their customer.

With this disgusting marketing method, Zhongdong Software has really gradually developed and grown, and even achieved the purpose of listing on the Hong Kong stock market. But Chen Hui is not satisfied with the development of such a small fight, and this time he can get through the relationship of a certain department through this project, which is what he values the most.

As long as this cooperation goes well, the next software procurement in a certain system is the most important. Institutions, cooperative units, affiliated enterprises and institutions, and even through the relationship to strive for their own software to enter the country's schools and Internet cafes, this is the real opportunity for the rise of Zhongdong software.

If it can win 10% of the educational software market in the country, it will be enough for Zhongdong Software to form a qualitative leap.

Thinking of such a future, how could Chen Hui not be excited?

He had just finished a dinner party one evening, and he was the propaganda director of the municipal party committee of a city in northern Hebei Province, and he was likely to be able to talk about the management software and network construction of the entire city.

Originally, a business of this scale did not necessarily need him to come forward, but Chen Hui did not just look at the market of a certain city, but this situation of going to a higher level at the market level.

In the past, although the business of Zhongdong Software was good, it also had to be negotiated one by one, and it was not a system of knocking on one stroke in the east and one stroke in the west. However, taking the relationship opened up by this bidding as a clue, the day when this kind of contact with higher-level power figures in the future will take away the entire market of the entire system in a certain place at one time is not far off.

Thinking of this, Chen Hui couldn't help laughing as he sat in the car.

Before he could laugh, the cell phone in his pocket rang rapidly. He frowned, looked at the call information on his phone, and after pressing the call button, the word "speak" popped out of his mouth, and he stopped talking.

It's just that although he didn't speak, his expression became more and more serious. Not long after the call, he hung up the phone and called the driver and instructed, "Go back to the company." ”

"Yes, General Manager." The driver, Lao Zhang, didn't ask much, and took the steering wheel to change the lane and rushed towards the location of the company.

"What's the matter, calling me back in such a hurry?" Chen Hui pushed open the door and saw a half-aged sitting behind his desk, playing with the national flag placed on his desk.

"Yo, General Manager Chen has such a big shelf now, can't I look for you if I'm fine?"

Although the woman said disgusting words, she looked at Chen Hui with one hand on her cheek and a little charming. She beckoned and said with a smile: "Xiao Huihui, come here, hold me." ”

The corners of Chen Hui's mouth twitched, and although he was very reluctant in his heart, he still went over and hugged her, and asked coldly: "Didn't you say it, don't come to my company if you have nothing to do, the impact is not good!" ”

"Ha, I just like your serious look." The woman pinched his face lightly, and said with a smile: "I have something to inform you, there is some trouble on the Internet, my brother asked me to tell you, hurry up and settle the problem." ”

"Online?" Chen Hui snorted coldly, shook his head, and said, "What problems can there be on the Internet?" ”

"It seems that there is a website that passed on the bidding some time ago, and many people on the website of Tianya and Cat are saying, my brother said-" The woman put one hand on Chen Hui's shoulder, touched his chest with the other, and grinned: "The impact is not good!" ”

"That's it, you can't talk about it on the phone?" Chen Hui's face was as cold as frost, and he said impatiently.

"Do people miss you, how can they see you on the phone?"

"Okay, I'm going to get down to business, you go first."

With a snap, the woman kissed Chen Hui fiercely on the face, unmoved by his unceremonious attitude, and smiled affectionately: "I just like your cool appearance, I am not allowed to go home tonight to accompany your yellow-faced woman, do you know if you come to the villa in the suburbs?" ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for Chen Hui to react, she picked up her leather bag from the desk in a dashing manner, twisted her ass and walked out of his office.

Chen Hui sat on the chair and was silent for a long time, exhaled deeply, and then moved again.

On the computer, Tianya and Maopu forums have been opened, and he easily found what he was looking for in popular posts without looking for him.

There was originally a somewhat casual expression, but after reading the post, it suddenly became heavy. He hurriedly entered the keywords in the post on the Qiandu search engine, refreshed it, and more than 2,000 search results were all included in the last more than an hour.

"Damn it!"

Chen Hui slammed the mouse on the table, picked up the phone and dialed a number, and said to the other end of the phone angrily: "Director Wang?" I'm Chen Hui from China Mobile Software, about the search results of Qiandu, can you please make a technical intervention? ”

……

Chen Hui's phone calls were dialed one by one, how can we say, after all, Zhongdong Software is a listed company, and there is still a thin name in the industry.

promised to go out more than 100,000 advertising expenses, which was just a drizzle for him.

The relationship between several Internet companies is very face-saving, patting his chest and promising him to suppress the matter. Soon, Hou Shida's post was deleted, and the search engine was also blocked, and "according to relevant laws, regulations and policies, some search results are not displayed" appeared on the search results page.

This made many people who searched for the progress of the incident can't help but point the finger at gFw and scold. God, how can gFw care about so many things? It's just an unlucky backpot.

Anyway, China's Internet is a big area network, and there is no freedom of speech anyway. Even if there are a lot of remarks that scold gFw, they are lying there. But the remarks that really scolded the capital to the point disappeared inexplicably.

Hou Shida also played a game of basketball on the school basketball court after dinner, experienced the pleasant feeling of this young body after exercise, and returned to the dormitory with a sweaty head.

He turned the monitor back on and asked the posting software to perform a refresh command, and the data returned by the software made him stunned for a moment.

"Heh, I didn't expect these people to react quite quickly." Hou Shida chuckled, he never thought that he could easily overturn the Zhongdong software, this would inevitably be a difficult process.

But fortunately, he had expected this situation for a long time.

I saw him click a button on the software, operate on the pop-up page, and then the data on the screen was executed quickly.

Tianya and Maopu's breaking news posts began to reappear, and the website was quickly deleted. And the administrator of the website found that as soon as he deleted it, another post had already been posted.

The administrator sacrificed the magic weapon of blocking the ID and IP, and Hou Shida's software automatically changed the proxy server and re-registered the user name, and it didn't take two or three minutes for the post to come back to life.

Setting up keyword review will only work for ten minutes at most, and after ten minutes, the post with the automatic keyword change will be sent again.

So the majority of netizens saw such a wonderful scene, the webmasters tried their best to delete the posts with relevant content, but the other party was like a guerrilla and couldn't delete it at all.

Soon, some netizens made screenshots of the content into pictures, and also joined the struggle to delete and repost.

Some people pointed out that such a posting force is obviously a commercial behavior, and it is a water army taking money to post. Netizens sneered and asked, isn't the reaction in the post the truth?

Even if it is an attack by a competitor, it is just that China Mobile Software will kill itself if it does many injustices.

The confrontation between netizens and websites to post and delete posts not only did not extinguish the influence of the matter, but instead triggered another round of discussion.

Hou Shida was also interested, registered an account by himself, and made a big speech in Tianya and Maopu to add fuel to the fire.

It's not just big forums, but even blogs, everyone, oh no, everyone was still called "school intranet" at that time, and it was reprinted in Tieba, major portals, and even penguin groups.

At this point, Hou Shida's first goal was successfully completed, and he climbed into bed satisfied.

Although he went to bed, many people were going to lose sleep that night. The whole thing has developed to this point, and it is no longer even beyond his control.

In fact, it can be said that it was the war between Hou Shida and the website that posted and deleted the post, which prompted netizens to reprint the post. Don't look at the Tianya and Maopu websites, the post was finally cleared, but the content of this post was reprinted by netizens to countless niche websites.

I don't know how many influential niche websites like Feiyang, Supersized, Iron Blood, and Office Workers are on the Internet, but this force is the real power of the Internet.

Netizens in these forums can be said to be more action-oriented and have their own opinions on truth investigation. Especially Qiandu Tieba, although Qiandu has carried out technical interventions such as blocking, but there are too many stickers, and the ability of netizens to evade review is even more skilled, many posts have appeared in Hou Shida's posts, and some even sorted out the verification content of other websites, and then posted them together.

This night, Chen Hui didn't know whether it was lucky or unlucky, no matter what, he finally didn't go to the villa in the suburbs.

But her brother is a more annoying guy than that nasty old woman. But in front of him, Chen Hui definitely didn't dare to show the slightest impatience.

"Yes, I've reached out to all the major websites and they've all agreed to remove the unrealistic rumors."

"I also want to find out who leaked the secret, but you know, we are a software company, and we have no connection with the Internet Monitor......"

"Please rest assured that netizens are all hot for three minutes, and this matter will naturally fade after a while."

Chen Hui put down the phone and wiped the sweat from his forehead. It felt like it took more energy to talk to this person than it took to deal with things that night.

But at least one thing he is not wrong, the marketing method of Zhongdong Software is destined to face a lot of negative news. Whether in reality or on the Internet, Zhongdong Software has long been familiar with the process of processing this kind of message. Spend money to delete posts, hire trolls to confuse speech, and finally wait for the next hot spot on the Internet to appear.

Netizens are like the goldfish described in the chicken soup article, and they have always only had a three-second memory. For online public opinion, we must not respond positively. Hanging them and ignoring them, naturally in the end, they can only accept the ruthless reality of this world.

Chen Hui likes a sentence summed up by an Internet celebrity "horse pawn" very much, "** doesn't need your support, and I don't care about your opposition, I only care about whether you have organizational skills." ”。

Yes, who cares if those netizens are for it or against? As long as no one picks the head, it will always be a rabble.

Just thinking of this, Chen Hui couldn't help frowning. This time it was obviously premeditated, and several competitors were the first suspects, and if they did it, it would be difficult for them to have a backhand.

The key to the matter is to quickly find the person who is manipulating behind the scenes.

Thinking of this, Chen Hui's hand decisively picked up the phone.

Li Jiufeng walked out of the bathroom and saw Hou Shida lying on the bed against the wall, holding a laptop crackling in his hand, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Senior brother, what are you doing? I'm still busy when the lights go out. ”

"Write a small program, and it will be good soon." Hou Shida smiled, but the action of tapping on the keyboard in his hand did not stop.

Chen Hui's handling of negative news on the Internet was not unexpected, if he had a large company in his hands at this time and had a good influence in the industry, he could naturally compete with the gongs and drums in person. The so-called business war is actually nothing more than this, everyone fights for relationships and capital.

But unfortunately, he is still just an ordinary senior student, which makes Hou Shida's idea of developing his career even more urgent.

Since I was reborn ten years ago, I can start my own business without having to go to graduate school again. A lot of knowledge in my mind is still cutting-edge technology in the current software industry, and it will be very developmental when I take it out. For example, the software he writes now applies image recognition technology that cannot be imagined by programmers in the industry in 2006.

The software industry is actually very suitable for entrepreneurship, it requires ideas, inspiration and passion, but it requires little capital and status. As long as you have an idea and a computer connected to the Internet, the possibilities are endless. But of course, this is only theoretical.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, there is very little software that can be done by one person. Teamwork is the mainstream of software writing, and building a team is not so easy after all.

How to start his own business, Hou Shida does not have a specific idea. But to clean up Zhongdong Software and Chen Hui, he already has a prototype in his heart.

After the scandal spread, he did not rush to bring it down immediately, in fact, it was impossible.

As long as Chen Hui still has capital in his hands, no one can bring down Zhongdong Software through public opinion.

All Hou Shida has to do now is to sow the seeds and wait patiently for them to blossom and bear fruit. Don't look at the situation on the surface, but it's just an illusion.

Hou Shida, who has watched the development of countless network incidents for a long time, naturally understands that the news has only entered a dormant period. Chen Hui can delete data from major websites, forums, and search engines, but he can't fully take into account all the spread of niche websites, personal blogs, and messaging software.

At most, in a week to half a month, the news of Zhongdong Software's 40 million winning bid will be known to everyone. At that time, it was the critical moment for Hou Shida to use the winning hand.

Just like fishing, don't stiffen the top of the fish when it struggles in the water, but let the line follow it and let it struggle to exhaustion, otherwise not only will you not catch the fish, but the fish will get out of the hook. When it doesn't have the strength to struggle, it can easily harvest the fish.

All Hou Shida needs now is patience and a net ready for the last fishing. The fish was too big, and he had to be careful not to be dragged into the water.
