Ming Nian looked at the dark, sturdy young man before him, a sharp glint in his eyes.
One look was all it took to see he was physically fit; he clearly trained often.
"You saw the notice, so you should know our employer is preparing to form a fleet for ocean voyages. This isn't some small-scale operation within the fishing harbor."
Ming Nian watched the young man's expression as he spoke. 'If he starts to back out now, what can I say to convince him?' he wondered.
Fortunately, the man seemed calm enough for now. He had to press his advantage. "I won't hide it from you, young man. Going out to sea comes with both great risks and great rewards. We'll need your consent, or for your family to sign the contract, before we can officially hire you.
Rest assured, the terms we offer are the best you'll find. A single voyage could be enough for you to make a small fortune."
Wang Li… 'Sounds pretty dangerous,' he thought.
