Super Electric Eel Avatar

103 Diving Up To 1,700 Meters
Two minutes later...

The electric eel reached a depth of 1,400 meters.

Pain...the intense pain. It was as if someone was trying to wrap the electric eel with tape. Even taking a breath was difficult.

The cold...the intense cold. The temperature in the surrounding water was cold. The deeper and faster the eel went, the more the temperature dropped. It was not easy to handle the cold, as not even the thick skin of the electric eel could bear it.

”One thousand four hundred meters, one hundred meters more than three days ago!” After only a few minutes, Chen Fan had to control the electric eel to float back up.

One hundred meters is not much, but it meant that the electric eel could bear ten times more pressure than its original ability. It’s like a sprinter who reaches the limit of their physical ability and wants to decrease their time by a few seconds, but cannot.

...

Later, Chen Fan took out his cell phone and called his father. After much consideration, he had decided to buy the two freighters. Although he had made a lot of money he would have to remain a secret millionaire.

There was not enough power in the industry. He needed a good guarantee for the future.

”Well, son, don’t you tell me half a million is gone?” Chen Fan’s father’s voice was full of doubt. In general, there was one reason for a son to call his father, which was to ask for money.

”I haven’t spent any.” Chen Fan paused two seconds and said, ”Dad, I want to talk to you about something. I want to buy two ships for ocean shipping.”

”Shipping... you’re not going to school?”

”Just leave it there...anyway, the school doesn’t recognize people. It only recognizes money. I’ve been thinking lately that we can’t afford to just spend money our whole life. Even if we are rich, we still have to make our own money.

”There are so many ways to make money. With this much money, if I were to put it in the bank, we could easily make millions from the interest per year.” His father suddenly raised his voice five pitches higher. ”You don’t understand the transportation industry, and buying the ships would be a waste.”

”I have an old classmate of mine who is close to me. He is investing in it too, and I could learn things about transportation from him, right? I am sure I would learn all of it in a year or two.”

”It’s not because I’m worried about the money. It’s because I have no confidence in you. Wouldn’t I know how much endurance you have?” said Chen Fan’s father.

”Listen to me...”

Half an hour later...

After Chen Fan’s persuasive talk, his father finally agreed.

”How much are you going to invest?”

”Ten million...so we have more than four million left... it’s only the ships’ money if we don’t make a profit for two years... and I could sell them...the most we would lose is two to three million.

”Then I will go back with your mother tomorrow. And we discuss together?”

”Don’t!” Chen Fan said quickly. ”Both of you have been working hard for ten years, so it’s not easy to catch a chance to relax. Just enjoy.”

His father was silent for more than ten seconds, and finally sighed. ”It’s okay then. Anyway, we got the money easily...you can move on! But I tell you, only this ten million...after the loss...directly sell the ships, and do not invest more.”

”Uh-huh!” Chen Fan nodded.

His father advised him for more than a half an hour, then after a series of guarantees, Chen Fan hung up the phone.

Ten million, plus twenty-five million in his own card, and I would borrow five million from Zhang Xueyang...the current period of miscellaneous expenses...

”Money and money...I want money!” he said to himself. Then he called Zhang Xueyang.

...

Two hours later, near the east lake wharf in Zhongyun city.

This was a medium-sized dock with a capacity of two million tons. There were ships in the sea. The ocean ships were standing there, loading and unloading goods, or stopping for maintenance.

The scene that came to Chen Fan’s sight was the ocean, the blue sky, and the enormous ship, which slowly revealed the modern industrial picture.

”Well, bro, these two ships look good, right?” Standing on a white container ship, Zhang Xueyang pointed to a similar vessel on the left.

”The captain and the sailor... are there any available? If there is already a worker, then I won’t need to recruit any.” Chen Fan took off his sunglasses and stretched his neck. He just bought that suit, and he was not used to the necktie. ”By the way, can you lend me five million? I’m short of money.”
