Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 100 Setting Sail Again

Chapter 209 Setting Sail Again

With the gift-giving session over, it quickly became noon.

This time, Xiao Kai did not cook at home, but instead brought the group to the Zhuo family's farmhouse.

After finishing their meal, urged by everyone, they arrived at the dock.

"Holy crap, fourth brother, is this your boat?"

Upon arriving at the dock, Xu Ning immediately spotted Xiao Kai's fishing boat. His eyes lit up, and he eagerly began to confirm with Xiao Kai.

Xiao Kai nodded and said, "Yes, this is it!"

Upon seeing this, the latter stared intently at the fishing boat, muttering to himself.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I thought you bought one of those fishing boats that the two of us looked at online last time. I didn't expect it to be like this. Goodness, if you hadn't told me, I would have thought it was a small yacht!"

Upon hearing Xu Ning's words, everyone around couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Chen Bai nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, even if you hadn't told me, I would have thought it was a yacht. I must say, Lao Xiao, you have great taste! Which shipyard designed this? I'll definitely look for them when I'm planning to buy a boat someday!"

Hearing this, Xiao Kai smiled and said, "It was introduced by a classmate or friend. It's a shipyard in Shenzhen. If you're interested, I can introduce you!"

Although he got to know the shipyard through Gu Xuanyuan's connections, they were a business, and they wouldn't refuse if Xiao Kai introduced someone to them, so Xiao Kai didn't have many concerns.

Chen Bai nodded: "Okay, it just so happens that my brother's yacht was transferred to the company to receive clients after he went back last time. I was worried that it wouldn't be very convenient to go out to sea. Give me a call later, and I'll try to book one for myself!"

"Just for fun?"

Xiao Kai couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement when he heard those two words. These rich kids are really something else; they can just play around with boats that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"By the way, how much did this boat cost in total?"

Suddenly, Chen Bai thought of something and asked.

Considering that everyone present was a friend, Xiao Kai had nothing to hide, so he said, "The boat price is over 400,000, and the total cost after landing is less than 550,000!"

After pondering for a moment, Chen Bai said, "That's alright. Considering the looks and specs, the price is quite reasonable. Old Xiao, your friend seems pretty reliable!"

Xiao Kai nodded and said, "Is that so? It seems my high school classmate's friend is quite influential!"

Despite saying that, Xiao Kai was not surprised at all.

After all, Gu Xuanyuan's family has such a large business, it's normal for them to have this much face.

He was still thinking about when he would have the chance to properly thank them.

However, it seems unlikely that there will be an opportunity in the short term, since they don't lack that.

To be honest, if it weren't for Zhan Xinyue's connection, Xiao Kai and Gu Xuanyuan wouldn't have had any interaction.

Xu Ning, who was standing nearby, was somewhat surprised after overhearing their conversation. He couldn't help but think, "Does this fourth brother make that much money fishing? He buys things worth over 500,000 yuan just like that. I remember he's only been fishing for less than a year, right?"

Of course, he wouldn't ask these questions aloud.

Although he was well aware that Xiao Kai was making money by filming videos and fishing, he never asked how much he earned, nor would he ever ask. Asking such private questions can sometimes be difficult to answer.

He wasn't the type to pry into things, so he was just curious.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's talk more on the ship!"

Seeing that everyone's conversation revolved around the ship, Xiao Kai glanced at the time and then reminded them.

He hadn't forgotten that his purpose today was to go to sea.

Although it was getting late, I still had to go out.

Anyway, I wasn't planning on going too far, so it doesn't matter if it's a little later.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

So, led by Xiao Kai, the group of six boarded Xiao Kai's ship.

After everyone else had boarded the ship, Xiao Kai untied the securing rope and was the last to get on.

Then he skillfully got into the driver's seat and started operating the controls.

Soon, the two 300-horsepower (before the upgrade) engines started up almost simultaneously, and then the Summer Triumph slowly pulled away from the berth and soon came to the open sea.

Soon, Xiao Kai adjusted his course and slammed on the accelerator.

Boom~

With the roar of the two engines, everyone felt the fishing boat beneath their feet suddenly burst forth with tremendous force, shooting towards the sea like a sharp sword.

As the speed increased, the entire fishing boat seemed to be about to take off.

"Wow, Lao Xiao, that boat of yours is amazing! It's so fast, did you go up to the top speed?"

Feeling the terrifying speed of this fishing boat, even Chen Bai, who had been on countless yachts, was stunned and couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Kai glanced at the speedometer on the bridge and saw that it had reached thirty-three knots, which seemed to be the ship's original top speed.

But only he knew that he was only using the ship's fuel-efficient speed.

If it were to go at full speed, this ship could probably go even faster.

After all, it had been enhanced by a cheat system, so he still had that much confidence.

He just didn't know how to explain it, since the same displacement engine currently on the market can't achieve that speed.

If it were truly fabricated, it would easily leave loopholes, making it difficult to explain later.

To avoid any unnecessary trouble, Xiao Kai thought for a second and then nodded in agreement.

"Yes, that's the ship's top speed!"

Hearing Xiao Kai's words, Chen Bai nodded; he thought so too.

"That's alright, this speed is more than enough for a typical fishing boat!"

He paused, then added, "However, I don't recommend you use top speed frequently. It wastes fuel and could damage the engine, so you should slow down as soon as possible!"

Xiao Kai nodded, as if in agreement: "Understood!"

He then reduced the speed again until it reached the ship's original economic top speed.

As the speed decreased, everyone's initial anxiety gradually subsided.

This fishing boat, which is over ten meters long, looks quite big, but it's still a small vessel compared to those large boats.

A speed of 33 knots is equivalent to only about 60 kilometers per hour, which you probably wouldn't feel at all in a car.

However, the ship felt very fast, mainly because the small size of the vessel and the rocking motion at sea caused a lack of security.

If it were a larger ship, even at 33 knots, the feeling wouldn't be too noticeable.

That's why everyone felt fear when he accelerated, and immediately returned to normal once he slowed down.

As Xiao Kai and Chen Bai sailed the fishing boat on the sea, the others in the cabin began to do their own things.

Xia Xuan and Wang Ling were mainly responsible for the work, while Xu Ning and his wife were busy dating and taking photos.

There wasn't much to do; it mainly involved sorting out the gifts they gave Xiao Kai and the things he bought yesterday, as well as installing the wind chimes Xia Xuan gave him.

This last one is actually the most troublesome.

But that didn't stump them.

Sure enough, the two of them had already finished installing the equipment before Xiao Kai even steered the boat to their destination for the day.
