42: Possibility to go fishing in the center of the lake

"That's actually possible. How about this, you wait for my news. I'll go find someone and see if I can figure something out. Maybe we can really fish in the center of the lake."

Chen Xiangbei was startled when he heard this, and asked doubtfully.

"Isn't private boating prohibited on Baiyun Lake? How could we fish in the center of the lake?"

"Hehe, private individuals aren't allowed, but they didn't say companies aren't. One-third of Baiyun Lake's area is contracted to a biological environmental technology company."

"This company specializes in researching the ecological environment of Baiyun Lake. Every so often, there are monitoring boats on the lake collecting relevant information," Lu Hu said.

"What does that have to do with us private individuals? The company wouldn't possibly be willing to take us fishing, right?" Chen Xiangbei asked, puzzled.

"You'll have to ask Chen Wen about that, he's more familiar with it," Lu Hu said with a mischievous grin.

"Actually, it's a university classmate of mine. She's a manager at this biological environmental technology company, mainly in charge of the environmental monitoring module."

"Hehe, it's not just a university classmate, is it?" At this moment, Lu Hu teased.

Chen Xiangbei looked puzzled, was there some unspeakable relationship here?

"Sigh, actually, she's my ex-girlfriend. We broke up over a small matter a while ago. I used to go see her often when we were dating and go on the boat with her to complete monitoring tasks."

"Although we've broken up now, it was just a spat. We separated to cool down and will get back together in a while. If I want to go on the boat, I'll have to go apologize to her first and seek reconciliation," Chen Wen said dejectedly.

Chen Xiangbei was also shocked and said.

"You guys are really playing... exciting! Breaking up to cool down and then getting back together. From what you're saying, whoever apologizes first is at a disadvantage, right?"

"Hahaha, brother, you don't understand. This is called a little bit of fun. Only by tasting the bitterness of love can you grow old together," Lu Hu quipped from the side.

"Get lost! What the hell do you know about love? Look at your big, rough appearance, you couldn't even taste the bitterness of love if you wanted to," Chen Wen said irritably.

Then he turned to Chen Xiangbei and said, "Wait for my news, I'll tell you once I've sorted it out. It won't be long before we can fish in the lake. When that time comes, we'll have to catch a few hundred top-quality fish!"

Chen Xiangbei also smiled and said, "Alright, then. I'll definitely bring back some top-quality ones when the time comes."

...

The exchange meeting didn't end until 2 PM. After bidding farewell to everyone, Chen Xiangbei drove to the historic Tianhai Tower.

He wanted to book the meal in advance; tonight was the first reunion of a few friends after graduation.

In the past, they always treated him to meals. This time, he had to arrange it properly and treat them to a good meal.

Arriving at Tianhai Tower, he booked a private room for 7 PM tonight at the front desk.

He also booked some expensive seafood varieties that needed to be reserved in advance.

Chen Xiangbei booked all the signature dishes and the expensive, delicious seafood on the menu, regardless of whether they could finish it all.

Then he sent the private room number to the group chat.

Linhai Four Heavenly Kings Habitat:

Gu Bei: Tonight at 7 PM, Tianhai Tower, Private Room 9 - Wealthy Hall. Don't forget, set alarms on your phones, finish up whatever you're doing quickly. Anyone who doesn't come will have their pants pulled down and their little guy flicked by everyone.

An Zi: Hehe~ I'm best at this. With my 200-yard elastic acceleration, one flick and a little guy falls!

Hu Bayi: If my little guy is here, I'm here. If you want to flick my little guy, ask my Luoyang shovel first @An Zi.

Linhai Wang: Is anyone free recently to help me with a small favor?

An Zi: What's wrong, Linhai Wang? Is there a time when you ask for help?

Gu Bei: Help you take care of your "three thousand beauties in the harem"?

Linhai Wang: Uh... no, help me take care of my younger sister for a few days, my biological sister! I have an urgent matter and need to go to the neighboring Peng City. It's not convenient to take her with me.

Hu Bayi: Oh~ I understand again!

An Zi: Understander +1.

Gu Bei: It depends on your sincerity. Let's talk when we meet tonight.

Linhai Wang: Alright, I'll bring her tonight too. You guys will definitely like her.

Hu Bayi: Okay~

An Zi: Really okay~

Gu Bei: Okay~

After arranging the dinner matters, there was still time.

Chen Xiangbei came to Linhai Central Fishermen's Wharf. He was here to inquire about matters related to going out to sea to fish.

The income from a day of land fishing is not even comparable to the income from catching one giant fish at sea. Feeling itchy, he decided to learn more about sea fishing.

Linhai Central Fishermen's Wharf includes passenger transportation and rental services.

He went to the information customer service center and asked the staff there.

The staff informed him of the relevant matters and gave him a promotional brochure.

Chen Xiangbei saw the introduction in the brochure which said.

Here, you can rent an entire yacht to go out to sea by yourself, or you can share a boat with others. The cruise ship is equipped with a captain and crew.

Of course, if you can drive a boat yourself, as long as you provide the corresponding driver's license and hire a few sailors, you can drive the yacht out yourself. Of course, the rent and deposit will be relatively expensive.

At the same time, he also learned about matters related to the fishing moratorium. From 12:00 on May 1st to 12:00 on September 16th of that year was the fishing moratorium. (There are huge differences from reality, please do not substitute, dads)

During the fishing moratorium, special fishing operations are not allowed.

That is to say, all fishing methods except fishing gear are not allowed to be used, only fishing with fishing rods is permitted.

This happened to suit his intentions, and it was also during the fishing moratorium, when marine resources were at their peak, and the number of giant fish in the sea was much higher than usual.

The staff at the information center also told him that now was the best time to go out to sea to fish.

Firstly, the fish are at their fattest during the fishing moratorium.

Secondly, the sea will open again after a while, and once the fishermen go out to sea to fish, the chance of catching big fish will not be as great.

Chen Xiangbei felt the same way, so he asked about the relevant costs of renting a boat.

Small yachts are relatively cheap and suitable for excursions and catching small and medium-sized fish. This was not within his consideration.

Medium-sized yachts are slightly larger and more suitable for sightseeing at sea, which also didn't quite fit.

Large luxury fishing yachts were what he was more interested in. Large luxury yachts are about 42 meters long, 8 meters wide, and have three decks, suitable for catching all types of fish.

The price of large luxury fishing yachts ranges from tens of millions to hundreds of millions, with comfortable environments and good performance, making them very suitable for sea fishing.

The rent is relatively expensive, 18,000 yuan per day, not including other fees.

The deposit is 10% of the boat price. If a captain is provided, the deposit is not so high, only the normal price is required.

Chen Xiangbei decided to go out to sea to fish in a few days and see how the results were.

If the income is good, he will also consider buying a fishing boat himself and going out to sea himself to avoid some trouble.

At 6 PM, Chen Xiangbei came out of Linhai Central Fishermen's Wharf.

During this time, he paid a little money and experienced the different feelings of riding on large, medium, and small yachts. It was his first time on a boat, and he was a little unaccustomed to it, but he quickly adjusted.
