After chatting for a while, Wang Jian Country set up his gear and was ready to start testing his fishing.
Lin Yang walked over to the side, only to see Tang Chuanbin, who had just paid the fee to enter, wearing a pair of toad sunglasses, continuously casting his rod, apparently testing the frequency.
Just by glancing at the nearby fish guard that had yet to hit the water, he knew Tang was still catching nothing, not a single fish had surfaced.
Splash!
Lin Yang, hearing the noise of Tang fishing, couldn’t help but glance at the equipment in his hands.
Tang was holding a 4.5-meter fishing rod and using a large, short line setup. Next to him, a large basin of bait was open, apparently targeting Crucian Carp and Carp.
This fishing method would have been fine in a hidden pond or wild river, but the fish pond had just been cleaned up this month, especially near the mouth of the pond.
Moreover, the three times fish were added were still relatively recent, the underwater environment had not yet stabilized ecologically, and the total area of the fish pond was also large.
Every time he cast his line, he dropped a large lump of bait, creating too much disturbance in the water. The fish that had just been placed in the water were easily scared, and with such a method, it would be strange if he caught anything.
Ah, he just lacks experience.
Lin Yang glanced over and said nothing more. The man had come to spend his money; let him fish however he wanted, as long as it didn’t affect others.
However, although they had opened the big fish pond for business now, there were only a sparse five or six people, which compared to the available hundred-plus fishing spots, was clearly insufficient, far from Lin Yang’s expectations.
Continuing to fish like this, not to mention making a profit, it would be fortunate to lose a little less.
After all, including the adjacent fishing lodge’s construction, Lin Yang had already invested nearly one hundred thousand W. With the attendance rate failing to reach even one-third normally, it was almost impossible to make money.
The current situation was obviously not good.
"Boss! Boss! Where are you?"
Just as Lin Yang and Old Lin were at a loss in front of the gate, Tang Chuanbin, who was fishing inside, started yelling again.
Lin Yang and three others walked over with curiosity.
Tang had set his rod aside and was no longer fishing. Instead, he was smoking a cigarette by the pond, looking displeased.
"What’s the matter, young man?" Old Lin approached and offered him a cigarette.
"What do you think is the matter! I came all the way from the city early this morning to support you, but this is no way to run a business!"
"What do you mean no way to run a business?" Old Lin was taken aback by his words.
At this time, villagers who were chatting by the pond mouth saw there was a commotion and gathered around.
With more people watching, Tang became even more arrogant, spat out loudly, "I’ve been fishing here for over half an hour, not a single bite! Are you just running a fish pond as a sham? Let the folks here be the judge, is this how you do business?"
Yang Xincheng, who was nearby, heard his words and laughed, "Bro, you must be joking! Our pond has been stocked three times, all weighed in properly, a total of one hundred thousand kilograms of various common fish, all under my supervision during the stocking. Each time we added fish, plenty of villagers were watching."
After Yang Xincheng finished speaking, the surrounding villagers all chimed in, pointing fingers at Tang.
But he didn’t care about the villagers pointing fingers at him: "I don’t care about that; I’ve already spent my money, but I haven’t seen a single fish!"
Seeing his belligerent attitude, Yang Xincheng’s expression darkened and he stepped right up to him, "What do you want to do then?"
Tang, though dark-skinned and not very tall, stepped back a few steps when he stood in front of the 1.8-meter-tall Yang Xincheng.
"What do you want to do? All these folks around are watching, are you thinking of starting a fight?"
Seeing Yang Xincheng step closer, although Tang’s bravado diminished, he remained defiant in speech.
"No matter what, you have to give me an explanation today, or else refund my money. If you need to shut down, then shut down; this is a scam!"
Lin Yang, who had been standing by listening, was amused by his words. He could roughly guess what was on the other’s mind.
Tang had originally contracted this fish pond three or four years ago, but his business hadn’t done well so he’d stopped. Furthermore, he’d heard Tang was still in debt to the villagers for a few years’ rent. Now that he saw Lin Yang taking over and planning to build a fish lodge, it was natural for him to feel disgruntled. Thus, looking for any trouble was inevitable.
