Body Chapter 1043 - Truly Experience Life
If you want to fish in North American fishing grounds, you have to buy a fishing ration, for example, if you buy a ration of 40 tons of king crab, you must catch these 40 tons of king crab in a two-month fishing season, and it is not possible to exceed the time. If you can't catch the quantity, you have to consider yourself unlucky.
Therefore, how much to spend and how much rations to buy before the fishing season is something that the captain has to consider. For example, if someone buys 40 tons of catch, and the catch is done in a week, it is as difficult as winning the lottery to get the catch, and then the remaining seven weeks of the fishing season can only stare at others to fish, and someone also buys 40 tons of catch, but only 20 tons in two months, then lose a lot of money to buy the catch.
This is not a small amount of money to buy catch. It is carefully calculated by every captain. After all, there are so many factors that affect the catch here. For example, bad weather, ship breakdowns, etc., all affect the harvest.
Not everyone has a friend who gives away 1,000 tons of unlimited species fishing rations------ Bloomberg, which is equivalent to giving Xiao Peng millions of dollars every year!
And this kind of ration is not something that anyone can get, and the ration that Bloomberg gave to Xiao Peng is indeed a big gift.
Xiao Peng frowned and said, "Maxim, how did you do it? Wasn't your fishing company very good in the past? Or is it a local company in Kamchatka, how did it become like this?"
Maxim smiled wryly: "A wrong investment. Johnson Fisheries increased its investment in Kamchatka and suppressed me with high prices, so my business has not been good, and in order to improve the situation, this time last year, I ate 500 tons of mackerel in one go, and I was going to do bait business and sell it to lobster boats and crab fishing boats. As a result, last year's mackerel harvest was so high that I couldn't sell my mackerel at all. In the end, it turned out to be a loss. After 20 years of fishing, he set up his own fishing company, but he didn't expect it to be gone overnight. β
Xiao Peng was stunned when he heard this: "Five hundred tons of mackerel crushed you?" Buying mackerel at the dock is almost a little more than a kilogram, and five hundred tons is more than 500,000 US dollars, how can it crush him?
After hearing this, Maxim said lightly: "The last straw that broke the camel's back." β
Xiao Peng picked up the wine glass and touched the wine glass with Maxim: "Is there anything I can help you?"
Maxim shook his head and said, "I'm not that miserable, okay, but how to say, I still have my 'Golden Pepperfish', don't I? I used to make my home on this ship, and I can now!"
Yang Meng came over with a wine glass: "That's right! This is Maxim of Kamchatka, a stubborn little old man, come, let's have a showdown today." β
Maxim shook his head: "Yang, I won't drink more with you this time, I had a headache for three days after fighting with you last time! Let's drink less today! Oh, it's not that I feel sorry for the wine money, beauty, today our Huaxia friends drank all the wine I invited!"
Segna smiled: "No problem, the most welcome thing we have here is a tough guy!" Yang, I don't mean you, the one who is willing to pay here is the tough guy!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Yang Meng blinked: "Hey, Saigna, believe me, I'm a real 'tough' guy!"
Segna licked her lips lightly at Yang Meng: "You have to try this to knowγγγγγγ β
Xiao Peng still wanted to continue to watch Yang Meng flirt with Segna, but Nikita poked him, he looked back, Nikita winked at him, and then looked back, good guy, Georgina's teeth were about to be crushed.
Xiao Peng just wanted to laugh when he saw this scene, this Georgina is definitely evil, does it make people lower their heads? Do you need to use witchcraft to treat her?
But how can you say that it is also Bloomberg's daughter, isn't it? Xiao Peng coughed dryly and interrupted the conversation between Yang Meng and Segna: "Maxim, the cold air is coming anyway, just open your belly and drink, and have a good rest." β
Maxim said: "Mr. Samuel, I really want to have a good drink with you, but time waits for no one, the fishing season is so short, and there are many people on the ship to eat with me, so I plan to continue to go to sea, I just consulted, this time the wind speed is at most forty knots, and my 'Golden Pepper Fish' can still withstand it." β
Xiao Peng thought about it after hearing this, the wind speed of forty knots is almost eighth-level wind, and Xiao Peng, the 'Golden Pepper Fish', has seen it, and it is not a problem to work in the weather of eight-level winds. It is easy to have accidents, such as people slipping and falling or falling into the sea, etc., so you must be very careful.
"That's okay, the eighth-level wind is not too dangerous, you must pay attention to safety when you go to sea!" Xiao Peng advised.
Nikita looked at Georgina, who was angry, and her eyes rolled: "Xiao, then let's go to sea too, let me feel what life is like for a real fisherman?"
Georgina also came back to her senses: "Yes, Xiao, let's go to sea to feel it, right? My father asked me and Nikita to follow you to the sea, just to train us, but it was really comfortable on this way, we didn't have to do any work, just clean the deckγγγγγγ This doesn't serve the purpose of training us at all!"
Georgina is not stupid, why did Nikita propose to go to sea? If Yang Meng goes to sea, he must follow, then he will not have time to flirt with Segna, right? Seeing that Xiao Peng did not speak, Georgina gritted her teeth: "Xiao, I beg youγγγγγγ β
"Huh?" Xiao Peng's eyes widened,, this is the power of love? Georgina can say the word 'begging' in her mouth? It's kind of interestingγγγγγγ
"Maxim, can you do me a favor?" Xiao Peng suddenly looked at Maxim.
Maxim was stunned: "Mr. Samuel, please speak." β
Xiao Peng pointed to Georgina and Nikita and said, "Let the two of them follow you on the boat to experience the life of fishermen!"
"Huh?" Maxim and the Nikita sisters froze together.
Maxim's eyes widened: "Thatγγγγγγ Mr. Samuel, our fishing boats are a bunch of rough old menγγγγγγ And it's a small boat, not as big as yours, and it's not very convenient for this woman to be on it!"
Xiao Peng smiled: "Maxim, it's okay, let me tell you, I promised their father to let them come with them to experience life." Just use them as men. Nikita, what are you pulling me for? You said you want to experience life!"
Maxim's head shook like a rattle: "Mr. Samuel, you also said that they experience life, and if something happens, you can't explain it to their father, can you? How dangerous the sea is, don't you know it? I can't guarantee their safety when they get on the boat! What if something happens? This thing will definitely not work!"
Nikita also said, "Yes, yes, if it's so dangerous, how can you let us go with someone else?"
Xiao Peng raised his cheeks and said: "You are right, Mengzi, you follow the boat, help Maxim work, and then take care of Nikita and Georgina!"
Yang Meng was still flirting with Segna there, and was dumbfounded when he heard Xiao Peng's words: "What are you talking about? I'm going to Maxim's boat? Hey, is there a mistake? What does this matter to me?"
Xiao Peng snapped his fingers: "Captain's order." β
'Poof!' Yang Meng sprayed wine directly.
Usually you can joke as much as you want, but when you go to sea, the five words 'the captain's order' are equivalent to a holy decree.
If you talk about which industry best reflects the class status now. That must have been on board. That's a hierarchy of levels. As long as it is on the ship, the captain's order cannot be resisted, and as long as the captain gives the order, it must be carried out even if it is wrong.
Of course, the captain can't just go his own way, otherwise there is a high possibility that the sailors will mutiny. If it's an offshore mutiny, it's okay to say that it's a big deal to go back to shore and scatter in two, but if you mutiny when you run the ocean, it will be terrible.
One of the most famous tragedies was the 'Pacific Battle Royale' that occurred in 2011, where thirty-three people went to sea, and the last eleven came back alive, and these eleven people who came back alive were five sentenced to death, one was given a suspended death, and one was indefinite. The rest were also sentenced.
Looking back at this case, what interests, calculations, factions, alliances, betrayals and other plots all happened on such a ship in the sea, and each of the thirty-three people racked their brains to struggle on the boat in order to survive, and in the end, all the survivors took the initiative or were forced to have their lives on their hands! That is a plot that can't be filmed in a movie! (If you are interested in this matter, you can ask Lao Yang or check the information yourself, it is too miserable, and it is inconvenient to write in the book)
And such a human tragedy is because someone is dissatisfied with the high-intensity labor and holds the captain hostage.
The captain is the only legitimate authority of order on a ship, and if the captain is controlled, it means that the authority is gone. The disappearance of authority means that the normal management order on board the ship is invalid.
So a good captain is definitely more than just being able to sail. It is also necessary to have a high enough prestige and care that can take all aspects into account.
Yang Meng heard Xiao Peng's words: "Hey, boss, I admit that you want to trap me, but you can't help but go, after all, Bloomberg asked you to take care of his daughters, I can go, but you also have to go together!"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng turned his head to look at Maxim.
Maxim wanted to refuse directly, how could this be possible? Although these two people have a high status in Kamchatka, after all, they are trying to make money, not a yacht for vacation. Four people on board, two of them women, isn't that a cause for trouble?
Xiao Peng also knew Maxim's thoughts, and said directly: "Maxim, let's do it, I still have about six tons of black pollock on my boat, which are netted when there is nothing to do on the road, you let us get on the boat, and these six tons of black pollock are the tickets we bought." Six tons of pollock as bait, I think you'll be able to make it until February's golden king crab season, right?"
Maxim didn't even think about it after hearing this, and directly stretched out his right hand: "Deal!"
