Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 362 Struggle to become the richest man in the world

Under the guidance of Master Shi, Li Weidong finally pulled the sea bass to the side of the yacht, then picked up the hand net and fished the fish out. It was still flopping and jumping even when it reached the deck.

"Boss, I'm afraid this fish weighs more than ten kilograms. It's so strong. It's not easy to pull it up!" Ding Yuan looked at the flapping fish and said complimentarily.

"Is it that heavy?" Li Weidong said with a smile. Of course he hoped that the bigger the fish, the better. Moreover, Ding Yuan usually said less nonsense, so it was easy for Li Weidong to believe what he said.

Li Weidong has never dealt with aquatic products in his whole life. He has no idea about the weight of fish. He just thinks it is big. The weight he just called out at six or seven kilograms was just based on his feeling.

"Absolutely. When I was in the Northeast, I would dig holes in the river to catch fish when I had nothing to do. There were a lot of fish of this size, and ten pounds is only a lot more!" Ding Yuan nodded and said affirmatively.

"Winter fishing in Chagan Lake?" Li Weidong asked in surprise. He had only seen it on TV and had always longed for it, but had never practiced it. If he had the chance, he would still try it once.

"Chagan Lake? I have never heard of it. On the Longjiang River, the ice can be more than one meter thick in winter. The water below is flowing. Fish will swim over after making a nest!"

Ding Yuan said with excitement on his face. It seemed that all men were the same. They particularly longed for the days of catching fish and shrimps, and there was a sense of fun in hunting for treasures.

Li Weidong also knew that Chagan Lake is probably not famous yet. This shows how powerful the publicity is. And why is Chagan Lake so powerful? There are endless fish to catch?

“I’ve heard about this fishing method for a long time, but I haven’t tried it yet. If you have a chance, try it!”

"That's no problem. You can do this kind of work anywhere in the Northeast in winter. It's so fun!" Ding Yuan agreed. He liked it himself. Besides, he agreed with the boss's suggestion.

Li Qian followed Liu Jinhui and walked over slowly. He was very curious to see such a big fish and touched the back of the fish with his hand. The bass seemed to be unable to bear the insult and began to resist.

The tail suddenly flapped. Although it didn't hit Li Qian, it still frightened him. He hurriedly hid in Liu Jinhui's arms, cried twice, and then looked at it reluctantly.

This action made everyone laugh. Li Weidong held the gills of the fish with one hand and pressed the tail with the other hand. He brought it to Li Qian and weighed it. It was indeed not light.

"At noon today, we are going to eat this sea bass, clean it and steam it directly in the pot!" Li Weidong held up the fish and showed off happily. This was the biggest fish he had caught in his life.

Although the fish is not worth a lot of money, it has a great sense of honor.

"Brother, hold it up and take a photo for you. I'll wash it out in two days and hang it on the wall to commemorate it!" After Li Weihong finished swimming, he got on the boat and was taking pictures of the seascape with his camera. When he saw Li Weidong catching a fish, he also

Come and watch.

"If you don't want to take a picture, wait until I catch a fish weighing several dozen kilograms. This fish is still too small!" It's okay to boast, but if you continue to take pictures and boast, it would be too much.

"Hurry up, for your level, it's already a miracle to catch a fish. You won't know how long it will be before you encounter such a big fish again!" Li Weihong's words were not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

Li Weidong was so angry that he wanted to throw the fish over her head. Li Weihong took this opportunity to take two pictures.

"Just wait, I will catch a bigger one in a while and let you eat it alive!" No matter how angry Li Weidong was, he could not throw the fish away.

"We'll talk about it after we catch it. The pot on the boat is too small to fit in, so I'll chop the fish into pieces first!" Li Weihong often cooks at home, so it's certainly not a problem to take care of a fish.

"Do you know how to cook it? Don't put too much ingredients in it. This fish is just delicious!" Li Weidong ordered. The fish caught by himself must be eaten with care.

"Okay, just go ahead and catch your big bass weighing tens of kilograms. We know how to do it!" Liu Jinhui saw Li Weidong's verbosity and said for Li Weihong.

Li Weidong watched Ding Yuan take away the net bag with a sense of loss. He probably would meet at the dinner table next time.

Li Weidong leaned on the side of the boat and continued to fish through shrimps, but his luck seemed to have run out. Before dinner, he only caught one weighing three or four kilograms, but there was no more harvest.

In the past, if there was a fish weighing three to four kilograms, Li Weidong would definitely be happy all day long, but with the proof that weighed more than ten kilograms just now, he felt that the fish was no longer tasty.

"I didn't expect Wei Hong's cooking skills to be really good. The fish tastes really fresh!" Liu Jinhui praised her sister-in-law without hesitation.

Facts have proved that no matter how old you are, you all need encouragement and praise. The more encouragement you have, the more capable you are.

"Really, sister-in-law, I will make it for you every day from now on!" Li Weihong glanced at Li Weidong provocatively, still remembering Li Weidong's suspicion of her just now.

"The presentation is a bit off. When cooking, we pay attention to color, aroma, and flavor. Who would taste the food just because of the presentation?"

"If you don't eat, I'll knock you down. I didn't see you doing anything, and you still pick on me when you eat!" Liu Jinhui said, hitting Li Weidong.

"Comrade Liu Jinhui, this is your fault. First, I caught this fish, and I worked hard; second, although there are not many spines on this fish, there are some. How can I eat it without picking on the spines?"

Liu Jinhui served a side of the fish head to Li Weidong and said, "Stop being such a mouthful and eat quickly. After eating, you can hug your child and take a nap. The child is no longer energetic!"

Li Weidong picked up the fish head and gnawed on it. Fish heads and fish heads are requested by people when they go out. Those who eat fish heads are not ordinary people.

Putting a child to sleep is a strenuous task. Li Weidong lay motionless on the big bed in the bottom warehouse, closing his eyes and enduring Li Qian crawling around on him.

Only in this way can the child fall asleep as quickly as possible. As long as the adult moves, the half day will be in vain.

Li Weidong finally got the child to lie down next to him and fell asleep. He himself also fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up, he could already see the pier.

Li Weidong thought that he could live like this for a long time and go out to fish and swim every day, but Liu Jinhui was not happy for now.

"It's not good if you don't go to work every day. It's been more than half a month since you came back from Qizhou. How many times have you been to the company?"

"If you don't go, what will I do?"

"I wanted to go, but you didn't let me go. I fish with you every day and bask in the sun. Look at me, I'm already tanned. How can I see people?" Liu Jinhui looked in the mirror and said depressedly.

"You are older this month, and your due date is still a few weeks away. Rest at home, go fishing and do more activities. It will be great!" Li Weidong said looking at Liu Jinhui, who was looking a little dark.

Li Weidong was stunned and suddenly thought of a joke from later generations, and said to Liu Jinhui with a smile, "Let me write you a poem!"

"You can also write poems. Looking at your obscene smile, I know that your words are not good!" Liu Jinhui looked at Li Weidong and knew that this was another fallacy.

"Hey, why are they not good words? You will know it just by listening. I left home in the morning and came back in the afternoon. My voice has not changed and my skin has darkened. The couple met but they didn't know each other. I asked him with a smile, who are you looking for?"

"You're just cursing someone in a roundabout way, you're the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one, don't you know?" Liu Jinhui knew that the words weren't nice, and as soon as she heard it, she understood what was going on, so she picked up the pillow and hit her.

"I really didn't say you were evil, I just suddenly thought of this joke. The phone rang. I'll answer the call. Please calm down!" Li Weidong couldn't admit that he was talking about Liu Jinhui even to death.

Not long after the meeting, Li Weidong hung up the phone and said, "I'm going out for a while, and a friend is here!"

"Who's coming over?" Liu Jinhui had heard the voice, but didn't understand the name.

"A foreigner, an international friend, came to Hong Kong Island for a layover!" Li Weidong did not go into too much detail. He himself had no intention of telling Liu Jinhui about this. Knowing too much would only be a burden and would not bring much benefit.

"Okay, then go ahead!" Although Liu Jinhui guessed what was going on inside, she didn't ask any more questions.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal. I'm just a free broker at best, just pulling the strings and building a bridge!" Li Weidong explained a few words. Not only did he do it for free, but he also paid for it.

Li Weidong asked Ding Yuan to drive, and half an hour later he arrived at a pretty good hotel. Li Weidong didn't know why he came, but he was invited, so it would be bad not to come.

"Is this Mr. Li?" As soon as Li Weidong got off the car, a middle-aged man came over and asked.

Ding Yuan was next to Li Weidong, ready to protect him. He could block Li Weidong by just taking one step forward.

The middle-aged man didn't react when he saw Ding Yuan's appearance. When he saw Li Weidong nodding, he said, "Hello Mr. Li, I am Shen Zou, Mr. Makarov's translator. Please come with me!"

Li Weidong didn't speak after hearing this, and nodded again. As the middle-aged man walked into the hotel, without even thinking about it, this middle-aged man was definitely not just a translator.

"Mr. Li, please forgive me for asking you to come here. After Makarov resigned last month, he went on a trip. He arrived in Hong Kong Island yesterday and planned to return to China in the next two days!"

"But when he learned that you were here, he wanted to pay a visit. But after we considered some circumstances, we applied with the Tang Department to let you come here!"

"It's nothing, it's a trivial matter, but how did he know I was here?" Li Weidong was also curious.

Tang Zhenhua called him in the morning and asked him to come here. He said that Makarov wanted to see him. He didn't hesitate much. He thought it was Tang Zhenhua who had revealed it.

Makarov himself knew what Shen Zou meant.

"We don't know about this. To be honest, we don't know much about your situation, but we try our best to meet Mr. Makarov's request, so we have to respond upward!"

Li Weidong knew that nothing could be gained by asking, and the identity of this middle-aged man also prevented him from asking too many questions. These were all mine, and if he asked too many questions, he would be easily exploded.

"Li, nice to meet you!" When they arrived in the room, Makarov and Li Weidong shook hands cordially.

"Welcome Mr. Makarov to travel to China!" Li Weidong said with a smile after hearing Shen Zou's translation.

Shen Zou looked at Li Weidong and felt that Li Weidong should not have made a mistake in his expression. When he arrived at Hong Kong Island, Li Weidong said that he was welcome to China. There was nothing wrong with the law, so he translated it like this.

"Li, I heard from Bell that you are here, and I am here to fulfill our agreement!"

"Mr. Makarov, when you and Mr. Shen come here, you have fulfilled your promise. Not only are you witnessing it, you can even complete it yourself!"

Li Weidong looked at the wizened little old man and continued, "I believe that with your help, you will definitely see her really get into the water in the near future!"

"Li, maybe what you said is right. From this division agreement, we can see that everyone has given up on him. He is just a bargaining chip in negotiations!"

Makarov took a newspaper, pointed it out to Li Weidong, and said with some lack of interest, as if he had ignored the fact that Li Weidong did not speak Russian.

At the beginning, Li Weidong and Makarov had discussions about whether Ship 106 could continue to be completed, and they also had a bet. Of course, Li Weidong pulled some tricks.

Li Weidong told Tang Zhenhua that Makarov could be fought for. Now that Makarov has been invited to come here by the relevant departments, some problems have been explained.

Li Weidong even knew that after the semi-finished ship arrived at the domestic port, domestic experts opened the engine room and found a lot of equipment and drawings inside.

This is the same as the rumors in the previous life. Makarov secretly sent a big gift, and when Makarov came to China, it was natural that he would not just travel.

Since the 1990s, it is said that more than 10,000 experts have settled in China to engage in research and development, and have made great contributions to some Chinese industries. One more Makarov is not much.

To a certain extent, Makarov wanted to thank Li Weidong, which was also the reason why he wanted to meet Li Weidong.

The meeting between Li Weidong and Makarov did not last long. It was as if two friends met by chance outside and chatted for a few words without even taking a few sips of water.

"Mr. Li, I'd better call you Comrade Weidong. The Tang Department trusts you very much, but it's a matter of confidentiality, so I still have to say a few words!" Shen Zou sent Li Weidong to the door of the hotel.

"Secretary Shen, don't worry. I will definitely keep my mouth shut and pretend I've never been here!" Li Weidong said proactively before Shen Zou could say anything. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to deal with these departments.

"Okay, Comrade Weidong, thank you for your hard work. I will report today's events truthfully. I hope you can understand!" Shen Zou was very satisfied with Li Weidong's attitude.

Li Weidong got on the car and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He very much hoped that no one would mention this matter again in the future. The idea of ​​waiting to go up and have a look after it was completed was gone now.

He just learned from Makarov that just two months ago, the Soviet Union accused Ukraine of selling their things without authorization, and they rejected all previous excuses.

After two months of negotiations, the two countries settled the matter last month and reached a division agreement. Soviet Russia also forcibly set a price for the 106 ship to offset the debt.

Although the purpose of Soviet Russia bringing up this matter again is very strong, just to share more of the two countries' things on the Black Sea, who knows that the fire will not be burned on Li Weidong's head.

Li Weidong knows history and the future, and knows how powerful Su II is. He is best at settling old scores and bringing those oligarchs you coax into submission.

If in a few years, when China has built its aircraft carrier, he feels uncomfortable after seeing it and checks old accounts, then Li Weidong will be in danger.

When she got home, Liu Jinhui found that Li Weidong looked a little bad, was always distracted, and was tossing and turning at night unable to sleep.

"What's wrong with you? You went out in the afternoon and why are you so distracted and worrying about gains and losses?" Liu Jinhui couldn't hold back and asked.

"Nothing, just thinking about something!"

"Didn't you say that anything that can be solved with money is nothing? Have you encountered something that cannot be solved with money?"

"As you said, your husband is destined to be the richest man in the world. Is there anything else that can't be solved?" Li Weidong said proudly when he thought that he would be the richest man in the world.

Money is still very useful in capitalist countries. If it is not useful, it means there is not enough money.

"I have to go to work tomorrow and strive to become the richest man in the world!" Li Weidong hugged Liu Jinhui and said like a vow.
