Chapter 312: Trade-offs
"Regardless of them, come, listen to my slogan, let's work together, prepare, 1, 2, 3 pole...... Pulling the wheel to take the line ......" Hong Tao broke Erin's twisted head back, and then lifted the rod with both hands, and Erin was responsible for shaking the reel to reel in the line.
Although the big fish does not have the strength to swim anymore, it still has weight and water resistance, which is equivalent to hanging a large weight of dozens of catties with a fishing rod, and then throwing it into deep water, and then pulling it up, which is also a strength work.
In this way, dozens of centimeters, dozens of centimeters pulled 10 centimeters, during which there was a 2-minute rest, Hong Tao looked at his watch, it was already half past 12 noon, unconsciously, they had been pulled by the big fish for almost 1 hour, not only the big fish had no strength, Hong Tao's two arms were also the same as pouring lead.
People are more than fish is wisdom, people can judge the situation and reasonably allocate their strength, and fish will not, no matter how tired, Hong Tao still gritted his teeth and finally pulled the big fish to the surface.
"I'm X, Uncle Liu, what are we fishing!? Why do I look like a crocodile!? The big fish flicked its tail on the surface of the water and sank into the water again, and at this moment, Hong Tao saw part of the back of the fish, which was full of bone scales, very similar to the body of a crocodile.
"Huh!? Alligator! I said Hong Tao, why don't we let it go, if this thing is played with life, it won't be good for any of us to bite. Boss Liu's eyes were not as sensitive as Hong Tao, but he also saw a vague approximation, whether it was a crocodile or not, it was definitely not an ordinary fish, he was a little vague.
"That's what I said, the crocodile needs to surface for ventilation, or it will suffocate early, don't tremble, let's see it clearly first, and then release it later." Hong Tao is not as timid as Boss Liu, and he finally caught a fish that he had never seen before, and he definitely couldn't release it so easily.
"Hi. Tao, don't be in a hurry to fish first, Mr. Li and Harrison will go over to you, wait for them, he has something to say to you. It was Pavina's characteristic voice behind him, followed by the sound of a motor.
For fear of interfering with Hong Tao's fishing, the big yacht stopped dozens of meters behind Hong Tao's small speedboat, and did not dare to approach again, and Li Laohan was so busy looking for Hong Tao, there must be something important. Hong Tao did not continue to reel in the line, but waited for Li Laohan and their speedboat to come over with a fishing rod.
"Boss, you loosen the fishing rod first, lean over, I have something important to tell you." Li Laohan's speedboat quickly sailed a distance of dozens of meters, and slowly leaned next to Hong Tao's speedboat, Li Laohan sat on the side of the boat, leaned over to Hong Tao's side, and whispered to Hong Tao.
"Why are you still so mysterious......?" Hong Tao saw that Li Laohan's expression was quite serious. Although he was a little puzzled, he still let go of the fishing rod and leaned out of the boat, letting Li Laohan lean over his ear.
"It's a sturgeon. Have you heard of the Chinese sturgeon, I saw it on the boat when it came out of the water just now, it is not small, it can be more than 100 catties. Li Laohan's first sentence made Hong Tao sweat.
Okay. Chinese sturgeon, this thing was often on the TV news in the early years, but I didn't expect to catch it. That's too lucky. But after a few seconds of excitement, Hong Tao's heart was cold, the Chinese sturgeon has long been classified as a national-level protected animal, and he caught it, and he was tired and half dead, it is estimated that even if he is released, he will have to cultivate for some days, and it is still a question whether he can survive or not, this sin is great!
"I know what you say, just say it, these are my friends, there is nothing to hide." Hong Tao left Li Laohan's mouth and sat up straight.
"That's good, I'm afraid that there will be too many people to talk and spread the word, and no one will end well." Li Laohan also felt a little more relaxed when he heard Hong Tao's assurance.
"It's okay, don't worry, I'll take care of something, just say it." Boss Liu spoke at this time, he easily didn't speak, as soon as he spoke, the momentum was enough, money is a man's guts, this sentence is not wrong at all.
"Cheng, then I'll be blunt, this sturgeon is not small, and it will be a big trouble for others to see it, so I want to ask a few bosses if you want to get it up, or let it go. In fact, this thing is not delicious, and it is expensive to sell outside because it is too scarce, and rare things are expensive. Li Laohan asked a question.
"Sturgeon? Hong Tao, what is this? "Boss Liu hasn't reacted yet.
"The Chinese sturgeon is the kind of fish that is often talked about on TV." Hong Tao explained to Boss Liu in a whisper.
"I know this, what's down there?" Boss Liu couldn't believe it.
“…… Uncle said yes, he stood tall on the yacht and could see more clearly, and it didn't do him any good to lie to us. Hong Tao chose to believe in Li Laohan.
"Do you have a way to get it up?" Boss Liu turned to Li Laohan, and although his voice was small, his tone was very expectant.
"Well, there is a way, you also know that this is very strict, if you let the fishery and water affairs know it, I don't want to fish in this realm, and I have to pay a lot of fines......" Li Laohan was a little embarrassed, and he wanted to stop talking.
"I understand, you just said can you get it back for me, I'll handle the rest myself, and this fish will give you 1,000 yuan as a hardship fee, what do you think?" Boss Liu is also in business, and as soon as he heard Li Laohan's words, he knew what he wanted.
"It's no problem to get it, but how to get it to the resort without people finding out has to figure it out." Li Laohan didn't say it, and he didn't say it.
"Yes, even get it and send it to Boss Liu, I will give you a total of 2,000 yuan, but we have to say okay, this fish can't be injured, it must be complete, I will go back and make a specimen." Boss Liu didn't bargain with him anymore, and doubled the money.
"It's wrapped around the old man, but it can't be done during the day, there are many people on the dock, so I have to send it over at night, so I'll go get the rope, this thing is all hard armor, and it's not easy to get hurt." Li Laohan got a satisfactory price, was in a good mood, and was about to start the speedboat and return to the yacht to get tools.
"Wait, uncle, don't leave yet, let's discuss it again." Hong Tao had been listening to the conversation between Boss Liu and Li Laohan on the side, and when he saw that Li Laohan was leaving, he suddenly stopped him.
"Uncle Liu, let's not ask for this fish......" Hong Tao approached Boss Liu and whispered.
"Huh? What do you mean? What else is there here? Boss Liu didn't understand what Hong Tao meant, thinking that Hong Tao had other considerations.
"Even if I owe you a favor, let this fish go, I met other rare things tomorrow, and I will designate the first one for you, do you think it?" Hong Tao chattered for a long time and said a sentence without a beginning or an end.
"Hey, you kid has learned to play with me, you make it clear, it's not a matter of whether this fish wants to or not, I have to listen to your reasons." Hong Tao's words surprised Boss Liu.
"That's not it, I just don't think it's appropriate, this thing is also a national protected animal, and there are really not many, we didn't catch it on purpose, it's not a crime, if you really want to take it secretly, you're really breaking the law." Let's not talk about illegal things first, let's go to Canada, the reason why there are so many animals over there is mainly because people protect them well, not only the government regulations are strict, but the people themselves are also conscious. Just now Harrison asked me why we buy small fish fry here, I can't explain it to others, I can only talk nonsense, if this fish thing makes them know, it is estimated that people will look down on us, and it is not worth it to have a reputation for poaching, what do you say? Hong Tao tried his best to pick gentle words to communicate with Boss Liu, he was also afraid that Boss Liu was in a hurry, as a junior, using the matter of protecting animals as a reason, even Hong Tao himself said it was not straightforward, this topic is usually on everyone's lips, and most people don't take it seriously.
"Do you really think so?" Boss Liu and Hong Tao's imaginary reaction is almost the same, and he doesn't believe Hong Tao's rhetoric, which can't blame Boss Liu for having a crooked heart, the social atmosphere is like this. (To be continued......)
