182. Fishing Boat (4/5 Last Double Monthly Pass)

On July 1, Qin Shiou first sorted out the notes for fishing farm income and expenditures for this quarter and circulated them to Anthony White, general manager of the Deloitte Ottawa branch, and then contacted Bill to prepare to order Newfoundland kelp seedlings.

June and July are good times for kelp seedlings to emerge, and this time is the busiest time for all fishing grounds that want to grow kelp.

Bill brought people to check the fishing ground and selected the kelp planting waters.

In the kelp breeding process, choosing a sea area to grow is the first preparation work, then deploying a breeding raft, then transporting the kelp seedlings to the breeding farm for temporary cultivation of seedlings. Later, the seedlings must be divided and cultivated before harvesting can be harvested.

Kelp has strict requirements on the growth environment, especially the traditional Newfoundland kelp species selected by Qin Shiou, which is also the legendary variety with the best taste and the richest nutrition.

"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 traditional species. The ideal conditions for laboratory can increase the yield by 400%, and it is very simple to increase the yield by 250% in the fishing ground environment." Bill tried hard to convince Qin Shiou to change the variety.

Qin Shiou shook his head and refused to agree. He said: "I only took 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 lower a lot, and the taste is actually not much different."

Qin Shiou smiled and said, "The difference between famous brands and street stall goods is just that little bit, but for that little bit, some people are willing to pay a double or even several times the difference in price to buy famous brands."

What a joke? He has the golden finger of the Sea God Energy, and he still has to worry about increasing the yield of kelp? Look at the giant algae jungle in the northwest waters of the island. That is a role model.

Bill shrugged, the client is God. Since God has made the final decision, he would better not try to change it.

Kelp has high requirements for growth environment. First of all, the base quality, that is, the rooted seabed. Flat mud bottoms and mud bottoms are the best, harder sand bottoms are second, and thin soft mud bottoms are the worst.

The seabed near the Daqin Fishery is mostly rocky and reef bottom, which is acceptable. Shaq has worked for the kelp farm and is considered a knowledgeable person. He said: "The seabed of rocky and reefs is difficult to take root, but as long as it is successfully taken, it will not be easily pulled out by the sea breeze or waves."

The elements that need to be considered are water depth. The growth of kelp in autumn is in winter, while the near-shore waters have the difference between rising and falling tides in winter and summer. The growth environment of kelp generally requires sea areas with a water depth of more than 5 meters during the dry tide in winter.

In addition, there is water flow, wind and wave factors to consider, and transparency and nutrients should be checked. The best breeding area is fast water flow, large flow rate but small wind and waves. It is necessary to have better transparency so that the seawater has good light transmission and kelp can grow quickly.

The main nitrogen content of nutrient salt is checked. The standard is more than 150 mg per cubic meter. Other oxygen content and sea salt content are no problem. The seaweed density in Daqin Fishery is estimated to be the most reasonable in the sea areas in the world, and it will not be too much to occur in red tides. There are also many, and the oxygen provided is abundant.

As for the sewage situation where the kelp growth environment is most stringent, there is no need to check this. There is no factory in the farewell island now. Domestic sewage also has sewage treatment stations and will not be discharged directly into the sea.

After the inspection, the marine aquatics analyst brought by Bill kept sighing: "God, this fishing ground is truly unique, with abundant oxygen, rich nutrition, and high transparency in the sea water. It is simply a golden fishing ground."

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

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

Billy Stemmer of Odyssey Marine Exploration Company called again at night. Qin Shiou knew his purpose, so he simply showed up with him and said, "The salvage problem of the Dunga Fish is over. Man, I have already fished all the silver on the ship, so if you want to salvage the Dunga Fish with me, then I can only say sorry."

Billy was stunned and hurriedly said, "Congratulations, Qin, can you ask which salvage company you are using? In addition, how do you plan to deal with your silver? Oh, I don't mean anything else, but I think our company has been in this industry for a long time and may have some experience to help you."

Qin Shiou said: "I used a private salvage team. The place where the Deng's fish sinks is not deep, it is just a bit 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 fishing farm owner? You can transfer the silver to your own fishing farm first. Then don't say it was caught from the Deng's Fish, just make up a nameless shipwreck. Finally, you'd better re-burn the silver plate and purify it before selling it."

Although what Billy said is very general, it is a complete set of processes. Obviously, he is indeed an expert in this field.

Qin Shiou thought about it and said, "Billy, my guy, I know you have always wanted to get the captain's log on the Deng's Fish. So we might as well make a deal. If you help me handle this hundred tons of silver, I can give you a commission or lend you the captain's log."

Upon hearing this, Billy was overjoyed and shouted: "Qin, it's okay to help you deal with silver. I don't need a commission, but I hope you don't lend me that log, but give it to me."

Qin Shiou was stunned. If one hundred tons of silver were successfully sold, the commission would be at least millions. This Billy didn't want so much money but only had a captain's log. What's the reason?

He became alert. Although the Americans always acted careless, rude and honest, these bastards were actually very smart.

In this way, Qin Shiou said tentatively: "Man, I don't know what secrets are worth your millions of dollars in this captain's log. But I want to tell you in advance that you should not have too much hope for this log, because it has almost been soaked and it is difficult to see the contents on it."

Billy was a smart man. He suddenly understood what Qin Shiou meant and explained: "Qin, that captain's log is a waste to anyone. It has no archaeological value and does not hide any treasure information."

After a pause, he said, "But that log is very useful to our company because our company is in a lawsuit with the damn Dutch government! In this way, I'll go to St. Johns next week to talk about silver and logs with you. Is it OK?"

There is nothing wrong with it, Qin Shiou agreed, anyway, this is his territory.

After making an appointment for about time, Qin Shiou hung up the phone and the consciousness of the sea god entered the ocean.

This time he went to see the yellowfin tuna rhubarb. Well, this guy was quite obedient. He accompanied his wife who had a cuckold to him to wander slowly in the giant algae jungle area. Several sea pythons accompanied him as bodyguards around. Qin Shiou didn't expect that one day when he went to the sea, the yellowfin tuna couple had fallen into the belly of a shark.

Then he was about to control the big bluefin tuna to go to the deep sea, but as soon as the sea god's consciousness changed, the boss above his head was filled with a shadow!

Oh, what's going on? Qin Shiou encountered this for the first time. Fortunately, he heard the rumbling roar of the ship motor, and then realized that there was a large fishing ferry above his head.

Around the big bluefin tuna, many pieces of herring segments were left. These segments were cut neatly, obviously artificially.

In other words, people in the fishing ground have discovered Dalan and are cutting the fish segment to seduce it to take the bait! (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, the novel is better and faster!
