Great Power Technology

After the other party's deployment was overwhelmed by powerful objective facts, public opinion immediately began to violently backfire. Not only in China's online forums, but also in the South Island, the situation was even more serious.

This seems to be a very understandable thing. One day, he was still attacking the other side's people's fiery life. The next day, he discovered that it was himself who was the fiery one.

Hundreds of thousands of fishermen have been without any source of income for almost a month. After all walks of life have been fully involved in competition, their profits have begun to drop to zero. Even ordinary company employees are facing the consequences of the food war some time ago. resulting in violent repercussions.

Only then did they realize their identity as clowns, but it was already too late.

Public opinion on the island quickly polarized, and the survivor bias and spiral of silence effect that had already appeared on the China Forum once again took hold, and this time, no one had the ability to stop it.

Because even their own official organizations that can be used to express their opinions have been hammered into the ground by a hammer that cannot be harder.

…

Liao Huazhi sat dejectedly on his family's fishing boat Nana. In just two months, the things he experienced were even more complicated than all the things he had encountered in his life combined.

Originally, he was just an honest fisherman who had been a sailor all his life. In his later years, he bought the fishing boat he had been looking forward to all his life because his life would become simpler in the future.

There will no longer be wage disputes, there will no longer be various fines with clever names, and there will no longer be scolding by shipowners for being lax for a moment. From now on, you will be the master of this sea. As long as you can ensure food and clothing, you can do whatever you want. What.

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

First, fishing boats from the other side came to seize the territory. The fish catch dropped greatly and it became impossible to make ends meet.

After finally waiting for the other side to actively show kindness, 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 went to the streets to speak out with a group of friends who had the same problem. I followed the official rhythm and learned to use smartphones and even IP changing software that I was not familiar with to speak on the other party's forum. In the end, , and found that it was himself who was being fooled all along.

It’s not that the other side of the bank doesn’t want fishermen like them to survive, on the contrary, they are trying hard to survive.

Whether it was the initiative to withdraw from the fishing grounds at the beginning, or the later maritime transactions, or the so-called fishery federation, they were all efforts made by them to help the fishermen on both sides of the Taiwan Strait get rid of vicious competition and have enough to eat.

But the one who really lost his job was the official he had always believed in.

It's the Executive Yuan.

They are those officials who keep saying they want to realize the happiness of every ordinary person.

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

It wasn't 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, I haven't bought the clothes my granddaughter wanted, and I even have to pay off the mortgage loan on this fishing boat.

If this continues, he will have no choice but to let the bankers tow his ship away.

But how could I be willing to do so?

It can be said that this ship has been devoted to almost all of his life, and he even named it "Nana" after his granddaughter. If it is towed away, what need does he have 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 previous difficulties were related to yourself. As long as you are willing to endure hardship and use your brain, the problem will eventually be solved.

But what now?

It is the higher decision-makers who need to solve this problem, but no matter how much I speak, the other party can no longer listen.

Is it still necessary for such a decision-making layer to exist?

Liao Huazhi suddenly shuddered. This was the first time he had such an idea since he was 60 years old.

However, after this idea came up, another kind of luck also appeared in his mind:

Otherwise, just like other colleagues, trade directly with the fishing boats on the other side of the sea?

If they really buy it at a real price as they said, then the cost of going overseas can be even further reduced.

There is no need to consider the cargo capacity of the fishing boats. As long as the fish can be caught, they can be sold. The other party's fishing boat fleet can be regarded as a transportation fleet.

As for what their purpose is...

who cares?

You are almost out of food, why do you still care about "righteousness"?

He didn't think he was that noble.

Thinking of this, Liao Huazhi regained his energy. He got up and walked home. He packed up his clothes for going to sea, summoned his group of guys 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 cab of the fishing boat, the son who followed beside him said a little guiltily:

"Dad, I didn't see the situation clearly, which caused you to waste so much time not going to sea. It's not your fault that our family is having difficulties, it's all my fault..."

"No need to say so much."

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

After a pause, he continued:

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

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

"I made inquiries before coming here. The people on the other side are very trustworthy, and they will get the agreed amount. However, it is inconvenient to weigh at sea. Generally, it is a first-person estimate. If there is more, I will not be happy, but if there is less, I will not complain."

"I hope we have better luck this time and don't run into the Fisheries Department's coast patrol vessel again..."

Seeing his father's worried expression, the son sighed silently, returned to the deck, and began to cook the first meal of the day in a separate cabin in the kitchen.

In fact, this "Nana" is a small fishing boat. It was not equipped with a separate kitchen originally. It was because Liao Huazhi felt sorry for his little granddaughter that she could not eat hot meals when she went to sea with the boat, so she specially changed a crew cabin into one. Although the equipment is a bit rudimentary, fortunately there are few crew members on the ship, so it is not difficult to make a simple hot meal.

The only troublesome thing is that if there are strong winds and waves, the hands will be unstable and the dishes will be salty and bland, which is also a common thing.

Before his son's meal was finished, Liao Huazhi had already driven his boat close to the Yashan Port fishing boat No. 106 anchored near the shallow reef in the center of Qiandui Fishing Ground. There were actually several small fishing boats surrounding this fishing boat. They were taking advantage of it at this time. 106 The ship's hook line is lifted upward to unload cargo.

Liao Huazhi walked onto the deck, waved to the busy crew on No. 106, and asked with some anxiety:

"Hey, friends, are you collecting fish here?"

The crew member of No. 106 heard his call, straightened up slightly and replied:

“Take it if you have it, until it’s full, we’ll sell it in piles, and we’ll pay you in cash with 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?"

Liao Huazhi's eyes finally lit up a little, and the other party waved his hand helplessly and replied:

"You can ask them if you want to accept it or not. Hurry up. Our boat is almost full. We won't wait for another two days at most."

"It'll be ready in one day! It'll be ready in one day! Sell as much as you can, thank you!"

After hearing what the crew member said, Liao Huazhi quickly turned around and got back into the cab. Then, without even bothering to eat, he sailed towards the fishing ground operation area and began intense fishing.

He didn't know how long these Chinese fishing boats could wait to collect fish, but he didn't expect to make a lot of money from this transaction. As long as the fish sold could make up for the cost of coming here, it would prove that this The road is feasible.

Didn’t they say that? In the future, we will continue to purchase aquatic products here, and other ships will continue to come here until a joint fishery agreement between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait is reached.

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

If their words can't be trusted...then can anyone else's words be trusted in this world?

…..

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

Although the price is not high in Liao Zhihua's opinion, considering the current situation, it is already extremely generous.

As a result, the two parties paid and delivered the goods, and within just ten minutes from the meeting, they reached a deal that was not complicated in the first place.

While waiting for the fish to be loaded onto the ship, Liao Huazhi looked thoughtfully at the busy crew members, and another question arose in his mind:

Yes, this was originally a very simple thing.

There are many things as simple as this one, but who makes them complicated?

He did not continue to think about the answer, but happily took the cash and started to return.

This time the labor fee has been divided. After deducting the mortgage payment of the ship, the remaining cash is less than 20,000 South Island dollars. The 20,000 miles will also be deducted from the next fuel cost and maintenance cost. The real The net profit is probably less than 10,000.

However, 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 backfire.

As soon as the Nana docked, a group of uniformed staff surrounded the fishing boat, and then fined him 100,000 South Island dollars on the grounds of private transactions. The fishing boats would be sealed until 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 came up with such a paradoxical punishment, nor did he know what the other party's purpose was.

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 rush of hot blood rushing to the top of his head. After a few seconds, he fell on his back.

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