If anyone had been the biggest help this time,
it was all thanks to Lü Wei really coming through.
Even Li Hui had not expected Lü Wei to send over a full ten fishing boats.
Including Fishing Bay Island's own vessels, there were now thirty-five fishing boats of all sizes fishing simultaneously across the waters of the Fishing Bay Island fishery.
If that still could not reduce their losses,
Li Hui truly did not know what the other fisheries were supposed to do.
The work had not become more efficient just because Ye Yuan had returned.
After all, even the shortest-working crews had already been out at sea for more than seventeen hours.
No matter how strong someone was, they could not keep going forever.
After seeing the situation, Ye Yuan decisively gave Li Hui an order that stunned everyone.
All vessels were to return to port.
As for the losses underwater, so be it.
"What the hell are you thinking?
There are still two hours before the Red Tide arrives.
That's enough time for us to recover some more of our losses."
Upon hearing the order, Li Hui did not carry it out immediately. Instead, he questioned Ye Yuan in confusion.
"I don't want this either. There's money all over down there. Do you think I want to do this?"
Ye Yuan spread his hands helplessly and continued explaining,
"But have you considered how long these people have been working? If something really happens, can we bear the consequences?
Look at them. Which one of them doesn't have a family behind them?
What would the consequences be if something happened to them here?
We've already achieved this much. What is there to be dissatisfied about?
Why do we have to wait until someone gets hurt before reflecting on it?"
