Chapter 426: The Flag Falls
After the official attacks and defeats the opponent's "heart war" deployment, public opinion immediately begins to backfire. It is not just the online forum of China, but in the South Island, this situation is even more serious.
This seems to be a very easy-to-understand thing. The day before, he was still attacking the other people's passionate life, but the day after that, he found that it was himself who was the one who was passionate.
Hundreds of thousands of fishermen have no source of income for almost a month. After being fully involved in the competition, all walks of life have begun to turn to zero in profits. Even ordinary company employees are facing severe aftermath caused by the food battle some time ago.
Only then did they recognize their clown's identity as a clown, but it was too late.
Public opinion on the island rapidly differentiates, and the spiral effect of survivor deviation and silence that has appeared once on the China Forum once again showed its power, and this time, no one has the ability to stop it.
Because even their own official organization that can be used to make sounds has been hit into the ground by a hammer that is too hard to be harder.
...
Liao Huazhi sat dejectedly on his fishing boat Nana. In just two months, what he experienced was even more complicated than all the things he encountered in his life.
Originally, he was just an honest fisherman, a sailor for life. In his twilight years, he bought the fishing boat he had been looking forward to for life. His life would change even more simply.
There will be no more wage disputes, no more fines for all kinds of clever names, and no longer be scolded by the shipowner for his temporary relaxation. In the future, I will be the owner of this sea. As long as I can ensure food and clothing, I will do whatever I want.
However, such a simple wish was quickly lost in just a few months.
First, fishing boats from the other side came to grab the territory, and their fish caught dropped greatly and became less than enough.
Finally, I waited until the other side took the initiative to show my goodwill, but the market closed and the fish could not be sold, causing huge losses in fuel and labor costs.
In order to solve this dilemma, I followed a group of companions with the same problem to speak out, and followed the official rhythm to learn to use a smart phone or even an IP-changing software that I was not familiar with at all. In the end, I found that I was always the one who was being fooled.
It’s not that the other side wants them to survive, but they are trying hard to survive.
Whether it is the initial voluntary withdrawal from the fishing ground, the subsequent maritime transactions, or the so-called fishing industry associations, they are all their efforts to make fishermen on both sides of the Taiwan Strait able to get rid of vicious competition and have a meal.
And what really ruined the job is the official I have always believed in.
It is the Executive Yuan.
They are those officials who always say they want to realize the happiness of every ordinary person.
They are ugly people who use the South Island as a gun to realize their own interests.
It was not until this moment that he truly understood the anger that flashed across his son's face that day.
Now that I have no source of income for a long time, my wife's caregiver has stopped, my granddaughter has not bought the clothes I want, and even the mortgage loan for this fishing boat can't be paid.
If this continues, he can only let the bankers drag his boat away.
But how could I be willing?
It can almost be said that the ship has devoted all its life to it, and it has even been named "Nana" by its little granddaughter. If it is dragged away, what is the need for it to continue to exist?
Liao Huazhi felt that he was about to collapse. He had never dealt with such a complicated dilemma in his life.
All the previous difficulties were related to me. As long as I was willing to endure hardships and use my brain, the problem would eventually be solved.
But what about now?
The one who needs to solve this problem is a higher and higher decision-maker, and no matter how you speak out, the other party can no longer listen.
Is there still a need for such a decision-making level to exist?
Liao Huazhi suddenly shivered. This was the first time he had such an idea since he lived to be 60 years old.
However, after this idea came into his mind, another kind of luck emerged:
Otherwise, just like other colleagues, they will trade fishing boats on the other side directly at sea?
If it is really a real-price acquisition as they said, the cost of going overseas can even be further reduced.
You don’t have to consider the cargo capacity of the fishing boat. As long as you can catch fish, you can sell it. The other party’s fishing boat formation should be regarded as a transportation formation.
As for what their purpose is...
Who cares?
I’m almost out of my way, so why bother with the “righteousness”?
He doesn't think he is that noble.
Thinking of this, Liao Huazhi regained his spirits. He got up and walked home, packed up his clothes to sea to change his clothes, gathered his own group of friends who had nothing to do, and went to the market to purchase the drinking water and food they needed, and resolutely launched the fishing boat and sailed out of Qianzhen Fishing Port.
Standing in the cab of the fishing boat, the son who was following him said guiltily:
"Dad, I didn't see the form clearly. I have wasted so much time and didn't go out to sea. Isn't it your fault for our family? It's all your fault..."
“No need to say so much.”
Before his son could finish his words, Liao Huazhi interrupted him directly.
After a moment of pause, he continued to speak:
"It doesn't make sense what you say, who is wrong, and we have to find a way out."
"Your father, I have so many old guys to eat. Our family wants to eat, so there is nothing we can do if we take risks."
"I asked before coming. People on the other side are very trustworthy. They negotiate as much as possible, but it is not convenient to spend pounds at sea. Generally, they are evaluating the price. If there is too much, they will not like it or complain if there is less."
"I hope we will be lucky this time and don't encounter the coast guard ships of the Fisheries Department again..."
Looking at the father's worried expression, the son sighed silently, returned to the deck, in the separate cabin in the kitchen, and began to make the first meal of the day.
In fact, this "Nana" is a small fishing boat. It was not equipped with a separate kitchen. It was because Liao Huazhi felt sorry for his granddaughter who couldn't have hot meals when he went out to sea with the boat, so he specially changed a crew cabin into a kitchen. Although the equipment was a bit simple, fortunately there were few crew members on the boat, so it was not difficult to make a simple hot meal.
The only thing that is troublesome is that if you encounter heavy storms and waves, your subordinates will be unstable and the vegetables you make will become salty and lighter, which is also common.
Before his son's meal was finished, Liao Huazhi drove his boat to the No. 106 fishing boat, which broke down near the Qianshan Port near the Qiandui Fishing Farm. There were actually several small fishing boats surrounding the fishing boat. At this time, he was using the hook ropes on the 106 boat to unload the goods upwards.
Liao Huazhi walked onto the deck, waved to the busy crew on No. 106, and asked with some trepidation:
"Hey, my friend, are you collecting fish here?"
The crew of No. 106 heard his shout and stood up slightly and replied:
"If you have it, collect it until it is full, you can sell it all, and you can cash South Island coins."
He seemed to have completely guessed the questions Liao Huazhi was going to ask, because he had answered these questions countless times.
"Really? Friend? Do you really accept it?"
A little light finally lit up in Liao Huazhi's eyes. The other party waved his hand helplessly and replied:
"If you want to collect it, ask them to go. Hurry up, our ship is almost full, and we will wait for two days at most."
"It's good for one day! It's good for one day! It's good for every day to sell, thank you!"
Hearing the crew members' words, Liao Huazhi quickly turned around and crawled back to the cab. Then he didn't even bother to eat, so he drove to the fishing grounds operation area and started a tense fishing.
He didn't know how long these Chinese fishing boats could wait, but he didn't want to make a fortune in this transaction. As long as the fish sold could make up for the cost of coming this time, it proved that this road was working.
Didn’t they say that? They will continue to purchase aquatic products here in the future, and other ships will continue to drive over until a joint agreement on fishery in the cross-strait was reached.
After experiencing so many things, Liao Huazhi firmly believed in their promises.
If their words are not trustworthy... Then, is there anyone in this world who can trust?
.....
After a day and night of fishing, Liao Huazhi returned to the near fishing boat No. 106 with a small number of fishing catches. After the other party sent someone to check the fish catches in the cabin, he readily gave the price.
Although the price is not high in Liao Zhihua's opinion, it is already extremely generous considering the current situation.
Therefore, both parties handed over the money and delivered the goods in the other hand. Within ten minutes of meeting, this originally not complicated transaction was reached.
While waiting for the fish to be loaded, Liao Huazhi looked at the busy crew thoughtfully, and another question arose in his heart:
Yes, this was a very simple thing.
There are many things, as simple as this one, but who exactly makes them complicated?
He didn't continue to think about the answer, but just started to return with cash happily.
The labor fee this time has been shared. After deducting the mortgage payment of the ship, the remaining cash is less than 20,000 South Island coins. The next fuel and maintenance costs will be deducted for the next time. The real net profit is probably less than 10,000.
But, this is already extremely rare.
At least, this amount of money can help him survive the crisis.
----If everything goes well.
But things in this world often go against our wishes.
As soon as the Nana arrived, a group of uniformed staff surrounded the fishing boat, and then fined him 100,000 South Island coins on the grounds of private transactions. All fishing boats were sealed before the fine was paid.
Liao Huazhi looked at the other person's face in horror, as if he was looking at some kind of man-eating monster.
He didn't know how the other party would raise such a paradoxical punishment, nor did he know what the other party's purpose of such punishment was.
Without a ship, you can't make money; without money, you can't pay a fine, and if you can't pay a fine, you can't redeem the ship...
Liao Huazhi felt a stream of passion rushing to his head. After a few seconds, he fell down on his back.
And the last glance he saw the blue sky and white sun that had gradually turned black and white.
