Golden Fishery

  On July 1, Qin Shiou first sorted out the receipts of the fishery’s income and expenses for the quarter and passed them to Anthony White, the general manager of Deloitte’s Ottawa branch, and then contacted Bill to prepare to order Newfoundland kelp seedlings.

  June and July are good times for kelp to emerge. This time is the busiest time for all fisheries that want to grow kelp.

  Bill brought people to inspect the fishing grounds and selected waters for kelp planting.

In the kelp breeding process, the first preparation is to choose the growing sea area, and then to deploy the breeding raft, and then transport the kelp seedlings to the breeding farm to temporarily raise the seedlings, and then to separate the seedlings and raise them. Harvest.

  Kelp has strict requirements on the growth environment, especially the traditional Newfoundland kelp species selected by Qin Shiou, which is also the best-tasting and most nutritious strain in the legend.

"You really don't want to try the North Pacific-North Atlantic hybrid kelp variety? The yield of this kelp is much higher than that of the traditional species. Ideal conditions in the laboratory can increase the yield by 400%, and it is simple to increase the yield by 250% in the fishing environment." Bill Trying to persuade Qin Shiou to change the breed.

  Qin Shiou shook his head and refused to agree. He said, “I only take the high-end route. The yield of hybrid varieties has increased, but the taste and nutritional value have been reduced.”

   Bill explained: “It won’t be reduced a lot, and the taste is actually not much worse.”

  Qin Shiou smiled and said: "The difference between famous brands and local stalls lies in that little bit, but just that little bit, some people are willing to pay double or even several times the difference to buy famous brands."

  What's the joke, he has the golden finger of Poseidon energy, and he is worried that the production of kelp will increase? Look at the giant algae jungle in the northwest waters of the island. That is a role model.

  Bill shrugged. The customer is God. Since God has made the final decision, he had better not try to change it.

  Kelp has high requirements on the growth environment. The first is the bottom material, that is, the rooted bottom of the sea. The flat mud bottom and the sand bottom are the best, and the harder sand bottom is the second. The thin ooze bottom is the worst.

Most of the seabed near Daqin Fishery is rocky bottom, so this is acceptable. Shaq has worked for kelp farms. He is a savvy person and said: "Kelp is more difficult to root on the rocky seabed, but as long as the rooting is successful, it will not It is easily pulled out by sea wind and waves."

  The element to consider is water depth. When kelp is planted in autumn, it grows in winter, while in coastal waters, there is a difference between the ebb and flow of tides in winter and summer. The growth environment of kelp generally requires a sea area with a water depth of 5 meters or more during the winter when the tide is dry.

  In addition, there are water currents, wind and waves that need to be considered, and transparency and nutrient conditions should be checked. The best aquaculture area has fast water flow, large flow, but small wind and waves, and it should have better transparency. In this way, the sea water has good light transmittance, and the kelp can grow fast.

The nutrient content is mainly to check the nitrogen content. The standard is more than 150 milligrams per cubic meter. The other oxygen content and sea salt content are no problem. The seaweed density of Daqin fishing grounds is estimated to be the most reasonable in the seas of the world. As for the cases that are so high that red tides will occur, there are also many, and the oxygen provided is abundant.

  As for the sewage conditions that require the most stringent kelp growth environment, there is no need to check this. There is no factory in Farewell Island now. There are also sewage treatment stations for domestic sewage. Will not be directly discharged into the sea.

  After the inspection, the marine fishery analyst brought by Bill sighed: "God, this fishery is really blessed with abundant oxygen and nutrients. The seawater is highly transparent, and it is simply a golden fishery."

  Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Yes. Sooner or later, my fishing ground will produce gold."

  It is too early to produce gold, but silver is no problem.

Billy Stemmer of the Odyssey Ocean Exploration Company called again in the evening. Qin Shiou knew his purpose and simply showed up with him, saying: "The problem of Deng's fish is over, man, the silver on the ship is over. All have been fished, so if you want to fish the Deng's fish with me, then I can only say sorry."

Billy was taken aback, and quickly said, "Congratulations, Qin, can you ask which salvage company you use? Also, what do you plan to do with your silver? Oh, I don’t mean anything else, but I think our company I have been in this industry for a long time, and there may be some experience that will help you."

  Qin Shiou said: "I use a private salvage team. The place where the Deng's fish sank is not too deep, but it is relatively hidden. As for the 100 tons of silver, I must sell it. I haven't thought of a way to sell it yet."

Billy gave him an idea and said: "Then you have to be careful, Qin, are you a fisherman? You should quickly move the silver to your own fishing ground. Then don't say it was caught from the Deng's fish. Yes, just make up a shipwreck without a name. In the end, you'd better burn and refine the silver plate before selling it."

  Although Billy is very general, it is a whole set of processes. Obviously, they are indeed experts in this area.

Qin Shiou thought about it, and said, "Billy, my buddy, I know you always want to get the captain's log on Deng's fish, so we might as well make a deal. You can help me deal with this one hundred tons of silver. I can give you a commission or lend you the captain’s log for use."

   Upon hearing this, Billy was overjoyed and exclaimed: “Qin, it’s okay to help you handle the silver. I don’t need a commission, but I hope you don’t lend me the log, but give it to me.”

  Qin Shiou was taken aback, 100 tons of silver, if it was successfully sold, the commission would be at least one million. This Billy didn’t need so much money but only needed a captain’s log. What was the reason?

  He was wary in his heart. Although the Yankees always have a carefree, rude and honest appearance, in fact, these **** are very shrewd.

In this way, Qin Shiou tentatively said: "Man, I don’t know what secrets in this captain’s log are worth giving up millions of dollars in revenue. But I want to tell you in advance, don’t have too much hope for this log. Because it has almost been soaked, it’s hard to see the content on it."

  This Billy is a wise man. He understood Qin Shiou’s meaning at once and explained: “Qin, that captain’s log is a waste to anyone. It has no archaeological value and no hidden treasure information.”

After a pause, he said again: "However, the log is very useful to our company because our company is in a lawsuit against the **** Dutch government! So, I will go to St. John's next week to talk to you about silver and logs. , All right?"

  There is nothing wrong, Qin Shiou agreed to come down, anyway, this is his site.

   After making an appointment, Qin Shiou hung up, and the Seagod consciousness entered the ocean.

He went to see yellowfin tuna rhubarb first this time. Well, this guy is quite obedient. He accompanied his wife who wore a green hat to wander slowly in the kelp jungle area. A few sea pythons accompanied him as bodyguards. He went to the sea to see that the yellowfin tuna had fallen into the belly of a certain shark.

   Then he was going to control the big bluefin tuna to go for a stroll in the deep sea. As a result, as soon as the seagod consciousness shifted, the boss was in a shadow!

  Day, what's going on? It was the first time Qin Shiou encountered this kind of thing. Fortunately, he heard the roar of the steamer's motor, and then he realized that it was a big fishing boat above his head.

  As for the large bluefin tuna, many pieces of herring were dropped. These pieces were cut neatly and obviously man-made.

  In other words, people on the fishing grounds have found Big Blue, and are cutting the fish to seduce it to the bait! (To be continued~^~)
