As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 475 - Chapter 475 Chapter 318 Zhao Jun Calls_3

Chapter 475: Chapter 318 Zhao Jun Calls_3 Chapter 475: Chapter 318 Zhao Jun Calls_3 This call had given him a chance to join; all that was left was to hear Chu Mingcheng’s thoughts and see how they could cooperate.

As for the relatives and the other fishermen, he only brought them up to gauge the other party’s intentions.

Zhao Jun actually wasn’t too fond of partnering with so many people, to avoid all sorts of troublesome issues due to profit-sharing later on.

After hanging up the call, Chu Mingcheng began contemplating the possibility of collaborating with Zhao Jun, as well as the sales issues for the fish they’d receive on their side.

Simply put, he needed either a seafood merchant of his own or a highly intimate partner to sell the catches from their long-distance fishing boat.

Things like fishing, purchasing, selling, and fishing gear could all be considered part of the business scope for a fishing company.

When it came to this matter, Chu Mingcheng thought of Zhang Wei.

After all, he had a girlfriend now; sticking with Chen Yang forever wasn’t a good plan.

Having him become a seafood merchant was a fine idea–after all, he would be a boss in the future, and once the fishing company was officially established, he’d be one of the shareholders.

Despite Zhang Wei’s seemingly unreliable demeanor, he was exceptionally social and dependable when it came to serious matters.

Initially, Chu Mingcheng had thought of his own father, but since he was far away, it was somewhat inconvenient, and he’d find lighter tasks for him to handle in the future when he wanted something to do.

But he always felt his parents preferred spending time with their grandchildren.

When Jiang Luoluo came home that evening, Chu Mingcheng discussed the idea of investing money to partner with Zhao Jun, including the part about having Zhang Wei become a seafood merchant.

“Considering this matter, I think we might as well buy our own boat and hire Brother Zhao Jun as the captain. We give him some shares in the fishing boat and a share of the profits at year-end.”

“He specifically called you, so he must want to work with you. Otherwise, on his own he could raise one and a half million and it would be no problem to get a second-hand boat capable of fishing in those zones.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Luoluo immediately offered her opinion.

“When it comes to partnerships, if it’s not with someone you’re extremely close to and can trust, anyone even slightly hesitant really isn’t suitable for partnership. But on the surface, we’ll just go with that.”

“As for Ah Wei, I think it’s doable. It just depends on what he wants.”

Chu Mingcheng nodded in agreement, finding her perspective to be on point.

Zhao Jun didn’t have much money to put in anyway; there really was no need to go into partnership with him. It would be better to simply recruit him, offer him some shares, and provide a bonus. After all, what he really wanted was just to earn more money.

Later, the couple sat on the living room couch and discussed the details of these matters.

The next day at three in the afternoon, Chen Yang and his group finally returned to the dock.

Chu Mingcheng’s Bluefin Tuna, which had been frozen for several days, was also delivered to a private restaurant for processing.

“What did you guys catch this trip out to sea?” In the private room, Chu Mingcheng set down a wooden box containing a bottle of Romanee Conti wine, then asked.

“Don’t even mention it, we only found a coral reef and caught some small fish, nothing interesting,” Zhang Wei sighed, “Didn’t even come face to face with a Bluefin.”

Chen Yang was also a bit downcast. He hadn’t expected that his fishing trip would be so fruitless: “Ah Cheng, do you have some secret to finding fish? I feel like it’s so easy for you?”

“I look at the distribution maps, there are plenty online! For example, you can encounter Bluefin Tuna in the Southern Treasure Island area and around Dongsha. In East Sea’s fishing area 152 and the waters near Japan, Golden Spearfish roam too,” explained Chu Mingcheng.

“Besides, I guess I’m also quite lucky!” Chu Mingcheng said, self-assuredly, leaving the other two speechless.

“I went to places known for Golden Spearfish too, but this time, I didn’t encounter any,” Chen Yang said leisurely before sighing, “Maybe you are just luckier!”

Zhang Wei wasn’t too bothered about the fish-finding aspects, mentioning it was just as a side note. After all, he had an exhilarating time during the fishing competition, battling fish until his hands cramped.

The lack of fish this trip out at sea was a bit of a letdown for him.

However, at this moment, he was more intrigued by the large wooden box sitting in the corner of Chu Mingcheng’s room, which he had actually wanted to ask about earlier: “Why did you bother bringing a wooden box along? Is there wine inside?”

“Wow, suddenly got sharp today, huh?” Chu Mingcheng said with a tone of mock astonishment, which only made Zhang Wei’s eyebrows twitch.

“Roll over. It’s a dinner gathering tonight, what else could it be but wine?”

“It could also be luck!”

“Luck?” Chen Yang and Zhang Wei echoed in unison, looking at one another quizzically, while the three women whispering to each other nearby also turned to look.

With arms crossed, Chu Mingcheng replied, “Go and see for yourselves!”

Curiosity piqued, Chen Yang and Zhang Wei approached the wooden box and opened it.

A gigantic bottle of red wine suddenly appeared before them, and Zhang Youning and Bai Jing also came over to look.

But of the three, only shock registered at the size of the wine bottle, while Chen Yang’s jaw nearly hit the floor.

“That’s DRC Pinot Noir, and it’s from the ’90 production, how did you manage to get this?” Chu Mingcheng asked.

If Chu Mingcheng had caught a whale, Chen Yang wouldn’t have been so surprised, but this bottle of wine truly startled him.

“The way you talk, seems like this bottle of wine has quite a story?” Zhang Wei asked, puzzled.

As for the two women, they were not informed about top-tier expensive wines, so they listened intently to the conversation.

Chen Yang chuckled, “My brother once had a drink at a friend’s place and came back bragging about it for a whole week. Later, through his friend, he managed to get hold of a bottle for over two hundred thousand. It was so treasured that even my dad wasn’t allowed to taste it–ended up getting a good beating for it.”
