Chapter 42 Gold Mine Floating at Sea!
Chapter 42 Gold Mine Floating at Sea!
I returned to Huangni Village late at night.
Lin Chen immediately took out his phone and dialed three numbers.
"Uncle Guowang, come to my yard."
"Uncle Fuhai, bring Dahai over here now."
"..."
Ten minutes later.
Wang Fuhai, Lin Guowang, and Liu Dahai arrived in the courtyard shortly afterward.
"As previously agreed, I will only take 10% of the alliance's profits, and the rest will be distributed according to labor and shipment volume."
Lin Chen took out a piece of paper with accounts written on it.
"Uncle Fuhai, you've put in a lot of effort these past two months, and you've also shipped the most goods. Here's your bonus, 43,000."
He counted out four bundles, then opened another bundle and counted out thirty sheets, which he then handed over.
Wang Fuhai looked at the thick wad of cash, his hands trembling so badly that he didn't dare to take it for a long time.
"Take it, Uncle Fuhai, this is what you deserve."
Lin Chen stuffed the money into his hand.
Wang Fuhai grasped it firmly and nodded emphatically.
"Uncle Guowang, your ship contributed the most, this is 38,000."
"Da Hai, you're young and willing to work hard, 26,000."
Lin Chen handed them out one by one, each stroke clear and precise.
Lin Chen also provided an extra alliance subsidy of 5,000 yuan to the families whose boats were smashed and whose nets were cut by Zhang Meng.
Some of the fishermen who received the money grinned foolishly, while others secretly wiped away tears, all looking at Lin Chen with gratitude.
Just as the atmosphere in the courtyard was lively, a voice came from outside the gate.
"Oh, Brother Jianguo, Chen is back! Your auntie missed you so much!"
Zhang Cuihua, carrying a plate of freshly fried peanuts and beaming with smiles, was about to squeeze into the courtyard.
She was well-informed and heard that Lin Chen had made a fortune in the provincial capital and had returned in a Mercedes-Benz, so she quickly stir-fried a plate of peanuts, put on a smiling face, and squeezed over.
The laughter in the courtyard stopped.
Everyone was looking at her with strange expressions.
Lin Jianguo remained silent, watching his son distribute money to everyone.
At that moment, he stood up, walked to the door, and looked at Zhang Cuihua expressionlessly.
Zhang Cuihua felt uneasy under his gaze.
"Brother Jianguo, I...I'm just bringing some snacks for the kids to go with their drinks..."
Lin Jianguo reached out, grabbed the two wooden doors, and pushed them hard.
The door slammed shut in front of Zhang Cuihua.
Outside the door, Zhang Cuihua's furious curses could be heard.
In the courtyard, Wang Fuhai chuckled, and then everyone burst into laughter.
Lin Jianguo turned around and walked back to the stone table, picked up a bowl of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
happy.
I've never felt so happy in my life.
After seeing everyone off, it was already late at night.
Lin Chen returned to his room, closed the door, and tallied up his gains for the day: a 500,000 yuan advance payment and a large reward from the system.
Current points: 1070.
[Level 2 access to the online store has been unlocked.]
[Deep-Sea Water-Repelling Bead (Disposable Item): When crushed, it forms an ultra-micro-pressure fluid shield on the body surface, lasting for thirty minutes. During this time, the host can breathe freely underwater at any depth and is immune to all water pressure. Redeemable for: 500 points.]
[Intermediate Combat Proficiency (Passive Skill): Comprehensively enhances the host's neural reflexes and muscle explosive power, improves resilience, and allows for easy handling of attacks from five or more armed adult males. Exchange Points: 300.]
[Marine Biological Affinity (Basic): The host can release a barely perceptible bio-wave that has a calming and attracting effect on specific marine organisms. Effective range: 1 kilometer radius. Redemption points: 200 points.]
Compared to combat and the one-time water-repelling beads, this ability is what he needs most right now.
"Exchange for affinity with marine life."
[Points -200, redemption successful.]
A warm current flowed through his body, and Lin Chen felt that his five senses had become much more acute. He could even clearly distinguish the rhythm of the waves crashing on the shore in the distance.
He was a little impatient, so he said goodbye to his parents and walked to the beach alone.
The beach was deserted late at night, and the moonlight shone on the sea, making it sparkle with silver light.
Lin Chen took off his shoes, walked into the cold seawater, closed his eyes, tried to concentrate, and sent a call to the sea.
A minute later, the seawater at his feet suddenly began to ripple.
Several small, palm-sized silver fish cautiously approached, even gently nibbling at his ankles.
Immediately afterwards, dark figures swam rapidly from beneath the surface of the water in the distance.
There were yellowfin tuna and sea bass, and even a few valuable groupers.
They gathered around Lin Chen, curiously observing him, forming a strange vortex of fish.
Lin Chen opened his eyes and saw this scene; his heart pounded.
Just as he was marveling at this new ability, a glaring red alert suddenly popped up in his field of vision.
[High-Risk Encounter Intelligence]
[Target: Bluefin tuna (migratory fish)]
[Quantity: Approximately 15-20 fish.]
Location: Southeast side of Devil's Reef, eddy current area.
[Information Details: Due to abnormal fluctuations in a tributary of the Kuroshio Current, a group of sub-adult bluefin tuna has strayed into nearshore waters. The group is expected to leave with the tide within 48 hours.]
[Note: The target individual has extremely high value, but requires ultra-low temperature preservation technology.]
Bluefin tuna.
This isn't fish, it's countless amounts of money.
Ultra-low temperature preservation.
Once tuna is caught and brought aboard the boat, it must be immediately bled, its gills removed, and its internal organs cleaned. Then it must be flash-frozen in ultra-low temperature equipment at temperatures below -60 degrees Celsius to lock in the quality of the fish.
His Pioneer only had ordinary ice pods, at most a few degrees below zero.
If used to freeze tuna, the fish will turn sour and spoil within half a day, its value will plummet, and it will be no different from ordinary fish.
Liquid nitrogen cold storage.
He needs to urgently install a shipboard liquid nitrogen quick-freezing system on the Pioneer.
This thing is not only expensive, but also requires professional skills for installation and debugging. No one in the whole town would know how to do it, so you have to go to the city or even the provincial capital to find a professional company.
There are only 48 hours left.
As Lin Chen was rapidly calculating in his mind, his phone suddenly started vibrating wildly in his pocket.
It was Tang Mingyuan's phone call.
Lin Chen answered the call, but before he could speak, he heard Tang Mingyuan's voice on the other end.
"Brother Lin, something terrible has happened."
"Just half an hour ago, a large logistics company in the provincial capital unilaterally broke its transportation contract with Yunhaige."
"I asked a few other small companies, and they all received the same notice: anyone who dares to deliver goods to Yunhaige is going against them."
Lin Chen frowned.
He immediately thought of Zhao Deding in the banquet hall, the one he had forced to drink the handwashing water.
Sure enough it was him.
In other words, even if he solved the problem of freezing the fish on the ship and caught some, these priceless tuna would just rot at the dock in Huangni Village.
Just when the villagers had a glimmer of hope and my father could finally hold his head high in the village, trouble struck.
"Is the cold chain blocked?"
He suddenly laughed.
interesting.
This game is finally starting to get interesting.
