Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 607 Showdown

"Why did the ideas of you two brothers change so much? What stimulated you?"

Zhang Qi looked at Ding Jie and Chen Miaomiao who were walking in front. She knew that at this time, Ding Jie and Chen Miaomiao must be talking about the same thing.

Ding Weijun told Zhang Qi that he and his eldest brother Ding Jie didn't feel much after the Chinese New Year in previous years, but this year was different. Ding Xiaoxiang found her boyfriend Zhao Dahai.

"You don't know how surprised my eldest brother Ding Jie and I were when we saw the huge groupers and other valuable fish one after another on the fishing boat at the Shijiao Village Pier."

"How is it possible to catch so many fish? How is it possible to make so much money?"

"You saw Zhao Dahai's speedboat a few days ago."

"But in a few days, Zhao Dahai will change to a larger speedboat that will cost 1 million to get it."

……

"Ordinary people can just catch more fish even if they change to a speedboat. But if Zhao Dahai changes to a speedboat like this, the fish he catches may be doubled."

……

"I might make 200,000 or even 300,000 or more in a day."

……

"Ding Xiaoxiang went to Zhao Dahai's home a few days ago and is now thinking about leveling five to six thousand square meters of sloping land to build a house."

……

"Zhang Qi."

"If we just work in the company, when will we be able to do something like this?"

"Just the big blue spot that weighed 156 pounds when we had dinner a few days ago."

"Can't afford it? We all have money and can afford it, but we won't eat like this."

"If you really eat a fish like this, your body will hurt for several days."

……

"Where's Zhao Dahai's?"

"Zhao Dahai left behind more than a dozen large and small blue spots and red spots, including the one we ate that weighed 156 pounds."

“There are also about five thousand kilograms of winter crabs.”

"Eat it during the Chinese New Year, or give it to others."

……

Ding Weijun turned his head and glanced at the wide sea. The entire sea was pitch black, but there were dots of lights everywhere. These were all people who went out to sea to fish. The fish caught by the fishing boats would be sold to his father, Ding Chong, when they returned to the dock. Mountain, collect these fish, shrimps and crabs and sell them to make money.

"Zhang Qi."

"If we stay in a big city and work in a big company, in a few years we will buy a house in the city."

"I'll buy a car after a while."

"Maybe the house and car are quite nice."

"But you have to compare it with someone. If you compare it with ordinary people, it is definitely not bad, but if you compare it with Zhao Dahai, there is not only a gap, but a very far difference."

"It's really not possible to make a lot of money and stay in a big company. The only way is to go home and do business."

Ding Weijun expressed his thoughts very directly and frankly.

"Can Zhao Dahai really make so much money?"

Zhang Qi couldn't help but think of Zhao Dahai whom he had met a few days ago. The attitude of Ding Jie and Ding Weijun had changed drastically because of the influence of Zhao Dahai's making money.

"Ok!"

"Zhao Dahai earned a lot of money. A little more than we imagined."

"Dad said that Zhao Dahai's money in the past year is very likely to be more than what his family has made."

"Didn't we go out to sea with Zhao Dahai's speedboat for most of the day a few days ago?"

"Even people like you and Chen Miaomiao who don't know how to fish can catch so many fish, let alone Zhao Dahai who goes fishing by himself and goes fishing in places where he can catch big fish?"

Ding Weijun didn't even want to nod immediately.

"Zhang Qi."

"If my eldest brother Ding Jie and I want to make more money, the only way is to go home and take over the business at home."

"In this case, there is no way to stay in a big city."

"You have to think about it carefully."

Ding Weijun gritted his teeth and told the matter directly. He and his eldest brother Ding Jie had basically made up their minds to come back and take over the business. Both his relationship with Zhang Qi and the relationship between his eldest brother Ding Jie and Chen Miaomiao had been greatly affected. There is no point in delaying the matter. It would be better for everyone to make it clear earlier.

After Ding Weijun finished speaking, he noticed that the expression on Zhang Qi's face was very calm. He couldn't help but think that he and his eldest brother Ding Jie would make such a decision.

Zhang Qi nodded. She and Chen Miaomiao had already guessed Ding Weijun and Ding Jie's decision, and had been thinking about this matter for the past few days.

"What do you think?"

Ding Weijun was a little nervous.

If Zhang Qi and Chen Miaomiao had already guessed that they and their eldest brother Ding Jie had such thoughts, they must have thought about it and maybe made up their mind.

Once Zhang Qi and Chen Miaomiao decided to stay in the big city, their relationship with their eldest brother Ding Jie came to an end immediately.

This is a life-long matter for me and my eldest brother Ding Jie. I have a very good relationship with Zhang Qi, my eldest brother, and Chen Miaomiao, and I really don’t want it to end like this.

"Decide?"

"Chen Miaomiao and I have been thinking about this matter these days."

"I really don't know how to decide."

Zhang Qi smiled bitterly.

This is a huge decision for both myself and Chen Miaomiao.

It was no surprise that Ding Jie and Ding Weijun made such a decision.

You must accept the business at home. Another thing is that this business can really make money. The salary you can get from working in a big company in a big city for a month is really incomparable.

If there was no one in the family who could make money, Ding Jie and Ding Weijun might not think too much, but if Zhao Dahai made too much money, Ding Jie and Ding Weijun would definitely be stimulated.

Zhang Qi also had an idea in her heart. If Ding Jie and Ding Weijun did not come back to inherit the family business, Ding Xiaoxiang would be benefited from Ding Xiaoxiang, Zhao Dahai, Ding Chongshan and Zhang Li would be benefited from the business that they had worked hard over the years, including the savings. All the money had to be given to Ding Xiaoxiang, at least most of it.

How much money do Ding Chongshan and Zhang Li have after working hard for many years?

I definitely don’t know the exact number, but no matter how I say it, it is at least in the tens of millions.

Zhang Qi looked at Chen Miaomiao who was not far away. She believed that Chen Miaomiao was the same as herself and did not want to see such a thing happen.

But if he and Chen Miaomiao follow Ding Jie and Ding Weijun back to the town, it means giving up the life in the big city that they have long been accustomed to.

In the past few days, Chen Miaomiao and I have gotten to know the villages and towns where Ding Jie and Ding Weijun live quite well.

This is an ordinary thing that cannot be done in ordinary villages and towns. The quality of life and lifestyle are vastly different from those in big cities.

One is a good and convenient life in a big city, and the other is a business that can make a lot of money.

How should you choose?

Zhang Qi was hesitant and really didn't know what to choose.

Has my relationship with Ding Weijun really reached the stage of marriage?

If this is the case, you might consider following Ding Weijun back to the town and living here in the village.

If not, what if I decide to return to the village and town now and don't marry Ding Weijun in the future?

"Zhang Qi."

"Do not worry."

"Take your time, think slowly, and decide slowly."

Ding Weijun knew very well that this matter would have a great impact on Zhang Qi and Chen Miaomiao, so he did not have to ask Zhang Qi and Chen Miaomiao to make a decision now.

This is a lifelong matter, and no one can be too careful and prudent.

"Ok!"

"I need more time to think about this!"

Zhang Qi is very honest. She really can't make a decision now and there are many things to consider.

Ding Weijun and Zhang Qi walked forward slowly, and from time to time they would glance at Ding Jie and Chen Miaomiao who were walking in front. “Dingjie!”

"Have you really decided to come back and take over the business at home?"

Chen Miaomiao looked a little ugly. She and Zhang Qi had already guessed that Ding Jie and Ding Weijun might make such a decision, but now it was still a bit difficult to accept it when Ding Jie said it directly.

"Ok!"

"That's basically it!"

"Ding Weijun and I have been thinking about this matter for a few days."

Ding Jie looked at Chen Miaomiao very calmly. He had made up his mind in the past two days and had been hesitating about how to say this. Now that he spoke, he suddenly relaxed.

Chen Miaomiao wanted to be angry, but she couldn't. On the contrary, she was very calm. If she were Ding Jie, she would have made the same decision.

"Miaomiao!"

"I very much hope that you can come back to live in this town with me, do business together, and take over the business at home."

"With our capabilities, we will definitely be able to make our business bigger and better."

"Earn more money."

"But as you have seen these days, the lifestyle in a village or town is very different from that in a big city."

"I don't know if you, including Zhang Qi, can adapt to life in a place like this."

"I am telling you this tonight just to let you know that we have decided to go back to the village and town to do business. Whether you want to come back or not, you have to think carefully before making a decision."

"This is a huge thing."

“You don’t need to make a decision today, you don’t need to make a decision tomorrow.”

"Think it over carefully before talking."

Ding Jie very much hopes that Chen Miaomiao can stay, but this matter has a great impact on Chen Miaomiao and will take time.

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

The sea breeze blows onto the beach, getting colder and colder.

The fishing boats on the sea slowly left one after another, and the dots of lights became farther and farther away.

Ding Jie and Chen Miaomiao walked in front, while Ding Weijun and Zhang Qi walked behind. The four of them were less than twenty meters apart. No one spoke and they walked forward slowly.

As time passed by, the horizon began to slowly reveal a hint of fish belly white.

Ding Jie and Ding Weijun accompanied Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi back to the dock.

One after another, large and small fishing boats went out to sea to catch fish. When they came back, the pier was bustling with activity.

"Yo!"

"The size of these sand pointed fish today is really good, but they are all netted. If they are caught, the price will increase by at least 50%, which is incredible."

……

"What the hell!"

"What kind of shitty luck do you have? Didn't you go out to sea to catch golden pomfret? How did you catch a large yellow croaker weighing about two kilograms?"

"Isn't it just a small fortune?"

……

"Shi Jiugong?"

"This is a good size!"

"Looks like three ounces!"

“The price of fish from the fishing port is much higher!”

……

"The tide last night was really good. Fortunately, I went out to sea. How could I make such money if I stayed at home?"

……

"Hey!"

"In the past ten days and a few more trips to sea after the Chinese New Year, yesterday or this early morning trip was the only one that made money."

……

Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi looked at the various fish, shrimps and crabs contained in basket after basket on the deck of the fishing boat docked at the pier.

"If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, how could you have imagined that a small pier like this would have so many fish, shrimps and crabs caught by fishing boats coming back every day?"

Chen Miaomiao took a deep breath of air.

The sea breeze in the morning was a bit cold, mixed with the fishy smell of sea water and the fish, shrimp and crabs on the pier.

At first I was very uncomfortable, and even felt a little nauseous, but slowly I found that it was not that difficult to accept, and I even started to like it a little bit.

"Ok!"

"No wonder Ding Jie and Ding Weijun's family can buy so many fish, shrimps and crabs."

Zhang Qi turned around and looked at the crowded entrance of the company where Ding Chongshan purchased fish, shrimps and crabs not far away. Ding Jie and Ding Weijun were busy bargaining with people who came to sell seafood.

"It seems like we really need to think about it carefully!"

……

"Ok!"

"You really need to think about it carefully."

……

Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi did not go over to help. They were not familiar with the situation and would only be unhelpful in the past.

2 p.m.

Ding Jie and Ding Weijun stood on the road at the entrance of the town, watching a tall off-road vehicle driving farther and farther away.

"Big brother."

"What do you think will happen?"

Ding Weijun looked at Ding Jie.

"Hehehe!"

"How can you say this with certainty?"

"It's going to rain! Mom is getting married!"

Ding Jie shook his head. He and Ding Weijun had decided to go home and take over the business. Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi had not made a decision until they just left. It was hard to say what the final outcome would be.

"Forget it!"

"Let's not think about this matter!"

"After the Chinese New Year, we will go back to the company and complete the resignation procedures. Let's just follow my father and mother in doing business honestly!"

Ding Weijun sighed.

I originally just wanted to come back to celebrate the New Year, but I didn't expect so many things to happen.

This year has been truly thrilling for me and my eldest brother Ding Jie.

I don't think about anything right now. While I'm still at home these days and haven't returned to work yet, I can help out a little more and seize the time to get familiar with the business at home.

"what!"

"That's right!"

"We have to think carefully about how we can make more money!"

"You can't just watch that boy Zhao Dahai make money and make a lot of money every time!"

When Ding Jie thought of the money Zhao Dahai had made from the fish he caught, he was filled with energy. He and Ding Weijun must work harder, do bigger business, and make more money.

　Asking for a monthly ticket! Thanks!
