The reason why Gu Kun reported 40,000 yuan to his sister was of course after careful consideration.
Because the money he earned this time will be spent in several channels, and it will all be in cash, so if he reported 40,000 yuan, he would not have to worry about being cheated.
I didn’t expect that half of the report would still make my sister so excited.
Gu Kun was speechless: "Okay, okay, I've been very excited at sea these days, and I'm used to it now. Please let me rest for a while."
"Hurry up and have a rest. I'm going to cook. After dinner, I'll pinch your feet." Gu Pan jumped up and went to cook.
The dinner was very sumptuous, including lamb stewed in red wine and steamed squid.
Gu Kun specially kept a few Su Mei and Shanlong in this harvest and kept them in the cabin.
Although his family has been fishing for several years, he is the only one who is tired of eating these expensive fish - they are all at sea, because the return voyage is too slow and the fish cannot be raised and will die, so he reluctantly eats them.
.
Those expensive species of fish will be sold for money as long as they can make it to the shore alive.
Gu Pan and he had been living together for years, and Su Mei, who had never eaten anything alive, was now prosperous, so of course she wanted her sister to have a taste of it.
As for Gu Kun himself, he ate mutton stew, opened a bottle of Laobaigan, and drank by himself.
Gu Pan shed tears while eating, and couldn't help but feel a little shy: "Brother, you also eat fish, this fish is so expensive."
"If I want to eat, why should I go ashore? If I can't hold it at sea, I'll eat it. This is all for you! You can eat it if you are told!"
Women just don't know how to settle accounts, these emotional animals are so irrational.
…
After dinner and enjoying his sister's massage of his shoulders, feet and back, Gu Kun felt refreshed and went to his neighbor's house with his money.
Liu Min's whole family is here. After all, it's New Year's Eve tomorrow and no one will start work.
"Uncle Liu, I'm here to pay you back. Here's two thousand and one, one hundred counts as interest, you order." Gu Kun came in with a cigar in his mouth and slapped the money on the table.
Liu Min's attention was focused on the money and he was speechless for a moment.
Wang Han, on the other hand, had the sensitivity of a woman and noticed Gu Kun's dress immediately.
Seeing that he was wearing a Lee brand hard linen shirt, jeans, cowboy hat and sunglasses, Wang Han realized that they were all genuine after a moment's identification.
Women look at clothes much more accurately than men.
"Oh, my eldest nephew, it was a good harvest this time I went to sea? My aunt knew from the beginning that you were capable."
"Thank you uncle and aunt for your support, so I won't treat you badly in terms of interest." Gu Kun was very good at talking, blocking the possibility of the other party continuing to get close.
He had only borrowed the money for ten days, and paying 5% interest was enough to give him face. Legally, this was considered usury. So he would never let himself owe another favor.
It's not that he is a solitary person, but that Liu Min was not honest in his previous life. When he was in embarrassment, he chose to pawn his family's broken fishing boat instead of lending him money.
Now that he was reborn, it was not like he didn't give him a chance, but Liu Min was still unhappy. It was Gu Kun who said he would bet his future, so he took out the money.
Then there is no relationship between the two parties, it is just a business.
Wang Han felt Gu Kun's alienation and was a little embarrassed. Seeing Gu Kun's dignity, he didn't want to make enemies, so he could only say some trivial words to ease the embarrassment.
Fortunately, Gu Kun quickly gave Liu Min another chance to perform.
"Uncle Liu, in addition to paying back the money this time, I also have a chance to chat with you - I wonder if your big boat is willing to be rented out. If it works, I will rent it for three months."
Gu Kun said this after careful consideration.
He now has a total asset of 80,000 ringgit, but it is still far from his ability to buy a fishing boat of several hundred tons that can sail to China.
Liu Minjia's large ship, 200 tons, costs more than 400,000 ringgit. This does not include a full-cabin cold storage. If it does, it will increase by 50%.
Therefore, if Gu Kun wants to use the South China Sea route for seafood export in the short term, he still has to rent a boat.
After hearing Gu Kun's needs, Liu Min and Wang Han were surprised again.
Just now they saw him repaying the money and buying decent clothes. The Liu family felt that he just made thousands of ringgit extra and was very proud of himself.
But Gu Kun actually offered to rent a big boat. How much did this guy earn?
"Xiao Gu, how much did you earn this time? If this big ship moves, you can't stop it if you don't have tens of thousands of ringgit a month. Don't get lucky once and invest all your capital in it with arrogance..."
Liu Min was timid and couldn't help but remind him.
"The monthly rent is tens of thousands? Uncle, are you treating me like a fat sheep?" Gu Kun couldn't help but laugh.
Liu Min's old face turned red: "I didn't say the rent was tens of thousands. I meant that the total expenses, including diesel and supplies, must not be tens of thousands of ringgit a month? In terms of rent alone, a 200-ton ship costs six to seven thousand ringgit on the market.
You are also knowledgeable, I cannot fool you."
The rule of fishing boat leasing is to estimate the rent based on the total cost and divided into five years of lease. For example, for a new boat worth 400,000 ringgit, the lessor will have to pay 80,000 ringgit a year.
However, the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and the ship would have been idle for a period of time during the first month. So the two parties discussed the price, gave a slight discount, and agreed to a deal of RMB 18,000 in three months.
The two parties signed a contract on the spot and paid a deposit.
Wang Han couldn't help but asked jealously: "Nephew, how much did you earn this time? You haven't answered yet."
"Thirty thousand or forty thousand, I'm so lucky." Gu Kun also waited for the contract to be signed before revealing the "truth" to prevent the other party from raising the price.
"Thirty to forty thousand?" The Liu family was filled with envy and hatred.
You're so crazy.
…
After discussing the business and returning home, his sister had already gone to bed, so Gu Kun didn't disturb her.
The next day was New Year's Eve. After getting up, he told Gu Panyi his plans.
Of course Gu Pan didn't dare not support him, but he just felt it was too hard.
"Brother, are you really in such a hurry? We will go to sea just after the New Year..."
Gu Kun said decisively: "Time waits for us not. You don't understand at all how big the business opportunities are in going to the north this time."
"But, this is a foreign country. It's still so far away. Can we enter the country?" Gu Pan was very worried.
Gu Kun confidently gave his sister some popular science: "Don't worry, the passport of our Lanfang Islands is visa-free in China, just like going to Malaysia. Fishing boats are also allowed to dock. I have understood the policy."
This is not Gu Kun cheating, but a fact.
On Earth, China only granted visa-free visas to three countries in the 1990s, namely Japan, Lijiapo and Brunei.
Although Lanfang is poorer than Lijiapo, it is also a country composed entirely of Chinese people, sharing the same culture and ethnicity as Huaxia.
The positioning of Lanfang in other aspects is very similar to Brunei. Therefore, China naturally exempted it from visa.
The value of a country's passport actually has nothing to do with the country's upper limit of citizens. The key is to look at the lower limit. That is, "how poor are the poorest people in the country, and whether the poorest people want to steal it."
So when it comes to visa exemption, those little booger countries naturally have an advantage. Anyway, with just tens of thousands of people, even the poorest of them can't be that poor.
"Brother, you know a lot. They are all taught in social studies class." Gu Pan was full of admiration and did not try to persuade him anymore. He just changed his words and said, "Then I will go with you on the first trip to sea, okay? We have changed to a bigger ship and you have more manpower.
It’s definitely not enough. If I help with the chores, you can hire one less person.”
Gu Kun: "Since ancient times, no woman has gone to sea. This is unlucky."
Gu Pan: "Huh, you are being a chauvinist! My watery nature will not hold you back. Besides, I will bring textbooks for self-study, and I will never delay my homework. At worst, I will take a week off after school starts."
Gu Kun thought for a while, then succumbed to the "macho warning" and relaxed.
After all, the ancients believed that it was unlucky for a woman to go to sea, mainly because ancient sailors relied on the sky for their livelihood. Modern weather forecasts are so accurate and not so superstitious, and many fishermen and their families work on the boat.
It was my first overseas trip after my rebirth, and having many of my own people around me made me feel more at ease.
After discussing it, Gu Kun became the hands-off shopkeeper and enjoyed a rare rest.
Gu Pan started working in the morning and cooked a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. The brother and sister had a warm New Year.
Three days later, the brother and sister went to the dock together and asked Liu Min to pay the final payment to pick up the boat and hire two more crew members.
Finally able to return to China. Gu Kun was extremely excited.

Seeing that the number of comments on Chapter 4 dropped sharply yesterday, I quickly deleted nearly 2,000 Malay words today to speed up the progress.
I'm going back to China right away. Everyone, hang in there. The protagonist is Chinese and I'll be fine soon, right away, right away.
It’s a new week, and I’ve resumed writing 6,000 words a day. I beg you all not to fatten up during the new book period. According to the current review mechanism, fattening is a death sentence for a new book. The naked body in the ice and snow is begging everyone not to fatten up. It’s pitiful.
