Storm Warning

Anticipating a devastating typhoon and red tide, entrepreneur Shen Kuo returns to Haoluo Village with his fleet and cash—offering a rock-solid floor price of $22 per pound for grouper to shield fishermen from disaster losses. But villager Yao Dalong leads a live-stream smear campaign, slandering Shen Kuo as a price-slasher out to fleece the farmers. The entire village collectively refuses to sign—only Old Zhao sells a small batch. Helpless, Shen Kuo is forced to pivot and buy at cut-rate prices.
