The Whole Village Laughs at Me for Selling My Boat, When the Red Tide Comes They Cry
Lu Yuan, the protagonist, once worked at an oceanographic research institute. Using data, he predicts that an exceptionally severe red tide will strike the East China Sea. Despite ridicule from the entire village, his father's opposition, and his fiancée breaking off their engagement, he sells the three fishing boats passed down through three generations and invests heavily in building a large cold-storage facility. He also takes out loans to stock it with frozen seafood. Meanwhile, fishing magnate Zhou Hailong buys boats aggressively to expand his fleet and publicly mocks Lu Yuan for being delusional. When the red tide arrives as predicted, fishing is banned throughout the region and seafood supplies run dry. Lu Yuan opens competitive bidding and sells more than five million yuan worth of seafood daily, increasing his wealth by 30 million yuan. On the verge of bankruptcy, Zhou Hailong resorts to arson and is arrested. Lu Yuan takes the lead in establishing an aquatic-products cooperative, securing his position in the local townships, while predicting a super typhoon and preparing for the next opportunity.
