Chapter 038: I'm Sorry!
In order to verify his idea, Bei Hai let the earth dog run the maximum distance along the straight line, and tested the maximum radius that the earth dog can contact with him now. After estimating, Bei Hai felt that it should be about two kilometers long. No matter how far away it is, even if the earth dog swims to his side, the information and fishing conditions over there will not be able to come back.
It seems that he is going to drive the boat to feel the situation in this sea area more, and Bei Hai has calculated it in his heart.
"Hull, what are you thinking?" Isda walked to Bei Hai's side with a bottle of beer, leaned on the side of the boat like Bei Hai, and stretched out the wine bottle in his hand and touched the bottle in Bei Hai's hand.
"I'm thinking about how to rent a good boat," Bei Hai said with a soft sip of beer.
Isda thought about it seriously for a moment: "If you want to rent a ship, I think Mel's Ripple is more suitable!" ”。
"How?" Bei Hai immediately came to his senses, and looked sideways at Isda and waited to hear him explain the reason. This son is more in-depth than Lao Tzu said, can Bei Hai not come to the spirit.
"His Ripple has just undergone a major overhaul, and it hasn't left the water for months, and many boats will be towed ashore when they are not in the fishing season......" Isda said to Bei Hai after giving a reason: "It's just that Mel is not very easy to deal with, I'm afraid you will suffer!" The price he quoted will not be low, he is more greedy, and other than that, his ship is really not better, than our network number equipment! In addition to the Ripple, the Whale is also good, but Harrison Sr. doesn't know if he will choose to try his luck this year."
Bei Hai listened to it and thought for a while and then decided: "Then you give me their phone number, I'll wait to go ashore and talk to them separately first!" ”。
When Izda heard this, he immediately said: "Don't be busy renting a boat, if you really think that the biggest problem when going to sea this fishing season is not the problem of the boat, but the crew!" ”。
"It's hard to hire people here?" Bei Hai asked a little puzzled.
Isda looked at Bei Hai and said directly: "I told you directly, don't be angry!" Looking at Bei Hai, he nodded and continued: "You are the first time to go to sea in Gloucester, right?" ”。
Hearing this, Bei Hai had to nod again, waiting for Isda to continue.
"You don't have a reputation here, people who go to sea are ready to go out to make money, if you don't have money to make money, who will choose to go to sea? If you have a reputation as captain of the Hunter and the Christine, if you say there's a shortage of people on board, a bunch of people will call you! Now you are a rookie in the eyes of others, and the crew is divided into a percentage of the net profit! Isda said.
"No matter what the percentage, the percentage of zero is zero!" After listening to Isda's words, Bei Hai understood that the final harvest of the crew going to sea was the net profit of the fish caught on the ship. That is to say, after removing all expenses, taking 10% to 15% of the net profit, no one will want to follow him, the rookie captain, who wants to do anything that is not profitable, or something that cannot be multiplied by zero?
"That's right!" Isda raised the bottle in her hand to Bei Hai and gestured.
After a turn of his mind, Bei Hai thought of the construction that Dygo had also given before: "You said that if I give a fixed salary, that is, according to the number of days I go to sea, what do you think is the most reasonable price!" ”。
Isda glanced at Bei Hai curiously, and felt that this Hull was really a rookie among rookies, where can fishing be like working in a company, and there will be money when you sit.
"It's hard to say, but if it were a day, like this time we went to sea for three days, about three hundred to four hundred dollars, I'm talking about the insurance premiums for going to sea," Istar said with a hint of finger counting. This can't be blamed on Isda, there are few foreigners who know how to calculate these things, they usually follow the calculator, and the mental arithmetic is a few streets like Bei Hai.
"This price is not low," Bei Hai calculated in a few seconds that if he paid it for a year, it would be close to $40,000, and such a salary would be considered to be in the middle class in the United States.
Seeing that Isda waved his hand, Bei Hai understood and said with a wry smile: "I know, I'm not famous!" ”。
"For fame!" Isda smiled and raised the wine bottle in her hand and touched it with Bei Hai's bottle again.
"For the sake of fame!".
After two sips of wine, Isda went to communicate with other guests, for Isda and his son, these fishermen were a stable source of income, and they could rent the boat to these city people during the non-fishing season, which would not only reduce the burden on their own family, but also prevent the boat from being empty in vain.
The ship is like a house that will soon fall apart if no one lives in it, and if the ship does not go into the water for several months, there will be some inexplicable failures, and people who do not go to sea want to go to sea in the first place in a boat that has not been launched for several months, because this often means that the journey is not going well, unless it is a new ship!
Bei Hai began to think about his plans after he went ashore, although Isda's construction was very pertinent, but Bei Hai still decided to get the boat done first, at least he had to take the earth dog to step on it first, at least it would take a week to find out where the fish were the biggest, the most, so that he got off to a good start after struggling with manpower.
As for the fact that a person catches a few big fish in a boat, Bei Hai doesn't want to be so eye-catching, so he decided to keep a low profile in the early stage, so as not to let others doubt himself too much, if a few people with a heart notice his jade pendant, it will be quite bad.
In some ways, keeping the jade pendant secret is a higher level of security than making money!
The old men on the sea sent duì to drive until more than nine o'clock, and several people went to the cabin to rest after drinking, and only Bei Hai was still alone.
"Hull! You help with the shift first, and you call me in the second half of the night" Diego patted Bei Hai's shoulder with a red face and said: "If you can't hold on, call me, I'm afraid you won't last long!" ”。
"You go to sleep, usually I don't go to bed until two or three o'clock at home!" Bei Hai 'persuaded' Diego.
"Then I'll go to sleep first, don't forget, call me as soon as you can't hold on, there must be someone on duty on the ship, for fear of something unexpected," Diego instructed again.
Bei Hai nodded vigorously: "I know, I usually go to bed at two o'clock, and I will call you at two o'clock, now I want to catch a few fish at night!" ”。
"What kind of fish are you catching this day, you can't take the tuna with you" Diego was relieved at this time, his body turned his back to Bei Hai and waved his hand and went down to the cabin to sleep for a while.
As for the night fishing in Beihai, it didn't make Diego feel strange at all, a person who had never caught bluefin tuna was going to be a fisherman as soon as he came up, although it seemed that there were still two small brushes from today's fish spot, but who knows if it was due to luck.
Sometimes luck is a help, but if you want to rely on this industry to eat, you can't rely on luck alone, technology and luck are equally important. Anyway, Diego is not very optimistic about Bei Hai's fish-finding skills.
Although everyone knows this thing, according to the activity habits of bluefin tuna, because this fish basically has one thing all day long, eat! Naturally, it is necessary to choose the seabed, which is rich in fish resources, and throw bait and the like. We all know it, but how to grasp it is different between fishermen, and it is also the most critical factor in determining the level of a fisherman.
When he was the only one left on the deck, Bei Hai waited for more than 20 minutes, and heard a snoring sound under the cabin, so he first went to the wheelhouse to turn off the fish finder, and then began to find a live bait from the space and hooked it, and then threw it back into the sea, and then began to throw the bait into the sea.
Bei Haicai doesn't care about the regulations in the U.S. fishery management, how can he say that he has to get one or two into his own space when he sees a few big fish, if he really doesn't have the money, he can make up a number, and leave it all to Diego? I don't often do Lei Feng in China, and I sneak to the United States here and put onions in my nose!
After waiting for more than half an hour, Bei Hai waited until the fat fish floated to the bottom of the boat, and soon the second largest one bit Bei Hai's bait.
Bei Hai started to tug the river with this fish according to the general steps that Isda told himself, and the most important thing to play with the bluefin tuna is to tug the river, and Bei Hai is now using his strength to reel in the line.
But obviously this is not a job driven by one person, and it is difficult to say that it is difficult to drag such a small boat with hundreds of pounds of fish in the water, which makes Bei Hai have to turn to the earth dog again.
The earth dog is very powerful, and the fish on the hook faints when it hits it, but the consequence is that several other nearby people see the earth dog appear and act like this, and immediately scatter and run away!
After waiting for the fish to be collected and released into the small lake in the space, Bei Hai let the earth dog slip around to see if the few that ran around were still here, but unfortunately there was no trace of them again, so he had to say to Diego in his heart: I'm sorry!
