The Top Fishing

Chapter 504: Chapter 231: Price Negotiation

The host’s words completely sidelined Gao Bai, and everything Zhang Lin said was true. He didn’t have a leg to stand on.

"In the video footage, we were just curious onlookers. We noticed that they had caught fish and always kept at a safe distance. All these accusations are just subjective slanders!" Gao Bai was really incapable of defending himself, but he still responded begrudgingly.

When Lin Yang heard such shameless excuses, he felt a surge of anger rush from his chest to his forehead and suddenly stood up.

"You say you were just curious onlookers? Anyone with eyes can see that you were repeatedly provoking us! I’m not a racist, but I felt your provocative acts made me angry, very angry!

Last time I simply disdain to deal with you, but it only led to more aggressive and intrusive behavior. Do you think Chinese people are easy to bully abroad? Would you dare to do these disgusting things to a local angler?

I’m telling you, you are terribly mistaken, horribly mistaken! I assure you will pay a hefty price for all these actions! We never start trouble when we’re abroad, but we’re also never afraid of it!"

Lin Yang’s furious and forceful speech silenced the entire press conference.

His words carried a dangerous aura, something ordinary people don’t possess, giving the impression that whatever this person says, whatever he promises, will definitely happen.

Hearing this, Captain Harry, who had been silent, also stepped forward to speak, "I support Mr. Lin Yang’s accusations and, if necessary, I will cooperate with all his legal actions!

Every fishing season is our local captains’ opportunity to earn tourism income, but it turned out to be so dirty and disgraceful this year. If we let these things continue, in a few years there will be no more visitors coming here to fish, it’s a disgrace to the entire industry!"

With the unanimous accusations from everyone, Gao Bai completely stopped talking. At that moment, he and his two companions could only silently pray while looking at each other.

Praying that these issues would soon pass, fearing if things escalated, and they’d be blacklisted from the entire circle, they wouldn’t have the face to stand it anymore.

....

The subsequent Q&A session, influenced by Lin Yang’s position, directly reversed the public opinion direction. Many reporters began to ask more details about the dispute between the two parties.

After all, information about the Chinese angler catching a record-breaking fish was no longer an exclusive scoop. Digging for more details would greatly enhance the topicality and attract more news coverage.

An hour later, Lin Yang’s impromptu press conference ended, and the group of four left in a car.

It seemed like the matter had been concluded, but the broader impact continued to expand silently underground.

When the group drove back to Captain Harry’s house, Zhang Lin, carrying his phone seriously, came over.

On the way back, he had already received more than one friend’s call. Now that they were home, it was time to discuss the next steps with Lin Yang.

"Brother Yang, there are two things you need to decide quickly. First, the disposal of the big fish. I’ve already received the highest offer of 200 US dollars per pound. No follow-up is needed for the fish’s storage, processing, or sale, and no quarantine; it’s a one-time buyout!">

The second option, as you mentioned on the boat, is to try to bring the fish back to China.

This is more troublesome. It would require the provision of a complete set of storage, processing, quarantine, and shipping certificates in the United States, and it involves customs. You’ll need to pay a hefty tax, and the process is quite lengthy. A complete and legal process might take about two to three months. Have you made up your mind on how to handle the fish?"

Hearing Zhang Lin’s explanation, Lin Yang hesitated slightly.

He knew it would cost a lot of money and was prepared for this expense, but the cycle of two to three months was just too long.

"That long?" Lin Yang asked, frowning slightly.

"There’s no way around it. If it were a state-run fishery company under the U.S. Oceanic Administration trading, it would use the U.S. state-operated special marine channel, and the approval process would be much simpler. But if a personal angler wants to bring the catch back completely, he can only apply item by item, get approval.

This timeframe is still a conservative estimate if everything goes smoothly! If there’s a glitch in the details, it might take even longer. After all, the review requires a series of documents to be organized and submitted from the point of your entry. I can’t guarantee that all procedures will pass at once. To put it bluntly, your plan isn’t the best solution for this situation."

After hearing all this, Lin Yang scratched his head helplessly: "Is there a compromise? Maximizing benefits, so I can also bring some of the spoils back to the country quickly.

Actually, bringing this big fish back, I don’t have any other plans, I just wanted to share the spoils with friends and family back home."

"Um...." Hearing his somewhat whimsical idea, Zhang Lin didn’t know how to respond.

They say rich people can afford to be whimsical, and in his eyes, Lin Yang was definitely the epitome of a whimsical rich person.

This is ridiculous, preparing to spend so much just to bring the fish back to share with friends?

What level of friends needs a record-breaking Bluefin Tuna to share? It would probably be enough to host a banquet for heads of state.
