Chapter 420 The Flag Falls Down
After the opponent's deployment was overwhelmed by the powerful objective facts, public opinion immediately began to backfire violently, not only in China's online forums, but in South Island, this situation was even more serious.

This seems to be an extremely understandable thing. The day before, he was still attacking the fiery life of the people on the other side, but the next day he discovered that the fiery life of the other party was himself.

Hundreds of thousands of fishermen have no source of income for almost a month, and all walks of life have begun to tend to zero profits after being fully involved in competition. resulting in severe aftermath.

It wasn't until this time that they recognized their identity as clowns, but it was too late.

The public opinion on the island quickly divided. The survivor bias and the spiral effect of silence that had already appeared on the Huaxia Forum once again showed their power. This time, no one has the ability to stop it.

Because, even their own official organization that can be used to speak out has been smashed into the ground by a hammer that is too hard.

……

Liao Huazhi sat dejectedly on his family's Nana fishing boat. In the short period of two months, what he experienced was even more complicated than all the things he encountered in his life combined.

Originally, he was just an honest fisherman who had been a sailor all his life. In his old age, he bought the fishing boat that he had been looking forward to all his life. It was because his life would be easier in the future.

There will be no more disputes over wages, no more fancy fines, and no more scolding by shipowners for being lax for a while. From now on, I will be the master of this piece of sea. As long as I can guarantee food and clothing, I can do whatever I want what.

However, such a simple wish quickly came to nothing in just a few months.

First, the fishing boats from the opposite bank came to grab the territory, and their catches dropped significantly, making it impossible to make ends meet.

After finally waiting for the other side to take the initiative to show their favor, the market was closed, the fish could not be sold, and fuel and labor costs caused huge losses.

In order to solve this dilemma, I took to the streets with a group of companions who had the same problem to speak out, followed the official rhythm and learned to use a smartphone or even an IP change software that I was not familiar with to speak on the other party’s forum, and the result was in the end. , I found that I was always the one being tricked.

It's not that the other side wants to make the fishermen like themselves unable to survive, on the contrary, they are working hard to keep themselves alive.

Whether it was the voluntary withdrawal from the fishing ground at the beginning, or the subsequent maritime transactions, or the so-called fishery federation, they were all efforts made by them to help fishermen on both sides of the strait get rid of vicious competition and have a meal.

And the one who really lost his job was precisely the official that he had always believed in.

It is the Executive Yuan.

It's those officials who keep saying that they want to realize the happiness of every ordinary person.

They are hypocritical and cunning ugly Chinese who use the South Island as a gun to realize their own interests.

It wasn't until this moment that he really understood the anger that flashed across his son's face that day.

Now because I have no source of income for a long time, my wife's caregiver has stopped, and the clothes my granddaughter wants have not been bought. I even have to pay back the mortgage loan for this fishing boat.

If this continues, he can only let those bankers drag his boat away.

But how can I be content with myself?
It can be said that I have devoted my whole life to this ship, and I even named it "Nana" after my granddaughter. If it is towed away, what is the need for me to continue to exist?

Liao Huazhi felt that he was about to collapse. He had never dealt with such a complicated predicament in his life.

All the previous difficulties were related to myself. As long as I am willing to endure hardship and use my brain, the problem will eventually be solved.

But now?

It is the higher and higher decision makers who need to solve this problem, and no matter how you speak, the other party can no longer listen.

Is such a decision-making level still necessary?
Liao Huazhi suddenly shuddered, this was the first time he had such an idea since he lived to be 60 years old.

However, after this idea came into being, another kind of luck appeared in his mind at the same time:
Otherwise, just like my other colleagues, directly trade with the fishing boats on the other side at sea?
If it is really purchased at a real price as they said, the cost of going to sea by yourself can be even further reduced.

Regardless of the cargo capacity of the fishing boat, as long as the fish can be caught, it can be sold, and the other party's fishing boat formation can be regarded as a transportation formation.

As for what their purpose is...

who cares?
I'm almost out of food, why should I care about "righteousness"?

He didn't think he was that noble.

Thinking of this, Liao Huazhi cheered up again. He got up and walked home, packed up the change of clothes for going out to sea, called his group of fellows who also had nothing to do, and went to the market to purchase the necessary drinking water and food. , resolutely restarted the fishing boat and sailed out of Qianzhen fishing port.

Standing in the wheelhouse of the fishing boat, the son who followed beside him said with some guilt:

"Dad, I didn't see the situation clearly, and you wasted so much time not to go to sea. It's not your fault that our family is in trouble, it's all the fault..."

"Not much to say."

Before his son finished speaking, Liao Huazhi interrupted him directly.

After a short pause, he continued to speak:

"Now it doesn't make sense to say who is to blame or whose fault it is. We have to find a way to find a way out."

"Your father and I have so many old friends who want to eat, and our family needs to eat, so there is no way to take risks."

"I've inquired before I came here. The people on the other side are very trustworthy, and you can get as much as you agree to, but it's inconvenient to weigh the weight at sea. Usually, it's estimated by eye. If there is too much, I don't like it, and if I don't, I don't complain."

"I hope we have better luck this time, and don't encounter the coast patrol boat of the Fisheries Department again..."

Seeing his father's worried expression, the son sighed silently, returned to the deck, in the separate cabin of the kitchen, and began to cook 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 little granddaughter that he would not be able to eat hot meals when he went to sea with the boat, so he specially changed one of the crew cabins into a kitchen. In the kitchen, although the equipment is a bit crude, but fortunately there are few crew members on board, it is not difficult to simply cook a hot meal.

The only thing that is a little troublesome is that if there is a big storm and the hands are not stable, it is common for the dishes to be salty.

Before his son finished his meal, Liao Huazhi drove the boat close to the No. 106 fishing boat of Yashan Port, which was anchored near the shallow reef in the center of the Qiandui fishing ground. There were several small fishing boats around this fishing boat, and they were using 106 hook ropes on the ship are upwards unloading.

Liao Huazhi stepped onto the deck, waved to the busy crew members on No. 106, and asked with some trepidation:
"Hey, friends, are you collecting fish here?"

The crew of No. 106 heard his call, straightened up a little and replied:

"Take it when you have it, until it is full, and sell it at an estimated pile, and pay in cash in South Island coins."

He seemed to have fully guessed the questions Liao Huazhi wanted to ask, because he had already answered these questions countless times.

"Really? Friends? Do you really accept it?"

Liao Huazhi's eyes finally lit up a bit, and the other party waved his hands helplessly, and replied:
"Ask them if you want to accept it or not. Hurry up. Our ship is almost full. If it's too late, we'll wait for two more days at most."

"Just one day! Just one day! Sell as much as you can, thank you!"

Hearing the crew's words, Liao Huazhi quickly turned around and got back into the cab. Afterwards, he didn't even bother to eat, so he sailed to the fishing ground operation area and started fishing intensely.

He doesn't know how long these Huaxia fishing boats can wait to collect fish, but he doesn't plan to make a lot of money from this transaction. As long as the fish sold can make up for the cost of this trip, it will prove that There is a way to go.

Didn't they say it?In the future, we will continue to buy aquatic products here, and other ships will continue to come here until a cross-strait fishery joint agreement is reached.

After experiencing so many things, Liao Huazhi firmly believed in their promise.

If their words are not believable... then in this world, is there anyone else who can be trusted?

.....
After a day and night of fishing, Liao Huazhi returned to the vicinity of No. 106 fishing boat with a small amount of fish. After the other party sent someone to check the fish in the cabin, he readily offered the price.

In Liao Zhihua's opinion, that price was not high, but considering the current situation, it was already extremely generous.

Therefore, the two parties paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, and within 10 minutes from the meeting, they reached this uncomplicated transaction.

While waiting for the fish to be loaded onto the ship, Liao Huazhi looked at the busy crew members thoughtfully, and another question arose in his mind:
Yes, this was originally a very simple matter.

There are many things as simple as this one, but who made them complicated?
He didn't continue to think about the answer, but happily returned with the cash.

This time the labor fee has been divided, and after deducting the mortgage of the ship, the remaining cash is less than [-] South Island dollars, and the [-] miles will be deducted from the fuel and maintenance costs next time. The net profit is probably less than [-].

However, this is extremely rare.

At least, this sum of money will allow him to survive the crisis.
-
if everything goes well.

But things in this world often backfire.

As soon as the Nana docked, a group of uniformed staff surrounded the fishing boat, and then fined him 10 South Island dollars on the grounds of private transactions. Before the fine was paid, the fishing boat would be seized.

Liao Huazhi looked at the other person's face in amazement, as if looking at some kind of man-eating monster.

He didn't know why the other party proposed such a paradoxical punishment, nor did he know what the other party's purpose was for such a punishment.

If you don’t have a boat, you can’t make money, if you don’t have money, you can’t pay the fine, and if you can’t pay the fine, you can’t redeem the boat...

Liao Huazhi felt a surge of hot blood rushing straight to the top of his head, and a few seconds later, he fell on his back.

And the last thing he saw before meeting him was the blue sky and white sun that had gradually turned black and white.
