The fishing boat docked and Chen Yuan saw Zhou Sheng and others on the shore.
Before the fishing boat could stop, Zhou Sheng jumped out and helped secure the fishing boat.
When Chen Yuan went back to the cabin, Yan Xiaoxi was still sleeping.
Chen Yuan slapped her on her perky butt: "We're here, get up quickly."
Yan Xiaoxi was dazed, opened her eyes, and asked for a hug out of habit: "Are you here?"
Chen Yuan nodded and waited for Yan Xiaoxi to get dressed, get her yacht certificate and passport, and go ashore to register for entry.
Ruby drove them into the city in an old pickup truck.
Funafale, the largest island in Funafuti Atoll and the capital of a country, gives people a somewhat deserted feeling. It is not too deserted, there are quite a lot of people, but it is very quiet.
The country is short of resources, has barren land, backward agriculture, and almost no industry.
It is rich in fishery resources but lacks the ability to develop it. It is one of the main producers of shark fins in the world and is also listed as one of the least developed countries by the United Nations.
"The lagoons on the Eight Islands of Tuguo are very small. My suggestion is not to enter the lagoon." Jiang Tao said: "So as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
"One thousand dollars." Jiang Tao said.
As a local, Lubi has little restriction on the fishing moratorium. As long as he is not fishing in the capital atoll, no one will care about him.
"What, no money?"
How can I put it, no matter which country you are in, there are rich and poor.
"Go out for a walk, take a walk." Chen Xin said.
Ruby smiled and nodded, making an invitation gesture.
"Walking around." Zhou Sheng said, "Why are you so listless?"
Chen Yuan nodded: "Fishing near the atoll is charged separately. How much is it per boat per day?"
The living room and bedrooms both lead to the wooden platform at the back, with the lagoon below.
You must know that from May to July, Chen Yuan and his fishing boats were in the Gilbert Islands, and the daily operating fee was 22,000 yuan.
"Brother-in-law."
Although the country of Tu is small, it is still a country. As one of the top people in the country, Lupi's father dresses and treats others very well.
There was a language barrier, Lu Lu helped translate...
Chen Xin, Jiang Tao, Qiu Zhilong, and a middle-aged couple were waiting for them in the private room.
Yan Xiaoxi speaks English and went over to help with the check-in procedures.
There shouldn't be much nightlife here at night, and they were in a strange place. In the evening, Chen Yuan and the others had dinner outside and went back to the hotel early.
"Let's go." Yan Xiaoxi was as happy as an elf and shouted with a smile: "Chen Yuan, go out and play."
Chen Yuan said ‘hmm’.
This beer tastes good, just a bit bitter, but has a strong malty aroma.
The money Chen Yuan had left was given to Chen Yuan when they were in Fiji before. Lin Xinhai and the others were returning to China.
"I can definitely get there before it opens," Chen Yuandao said.
Chen Yuan also greeted politely.
When Chen Yuan and the others came here for the first time, they went for a walk. Jiang Tao also took the opportunity to talk about the fees for fishing boats to enter the lagoon...
Chen Yuan glanced at the concierge and saw that it was Zhou Sheng. He opened the door and said, "What are you doing?"
Lu Lu and Lao Qiu are also leaving.
He doesn't have much money left. This time he returned to China and settled his salary without any dividends...
Ruby took them to the largest hotel in the area.
Jiang Tao added: "But we have already contacted him and are discussing the price."
"elder brother."
Early the next morning, Chen Yuan and the others packed up their things, left the room, and came to the port...
Zhou Sheng also smiled and said "hi".
Zhou Sheng opened the beer and touched the bottle held by Chen Yuan.
The place Zhou Sheng wants to go to is a small island called Yama. The island is not big and there is a resort on it.
Chen Yuan didn't want to stay in the so-called urban area. After all, it was a strange place and he had to pay attention to safety issues.
The cost is okay.
Especially in some poor and backward countries, the rich control the vast majority of resources, while the number of poor is particularly large.
Yan Xiaoxi was packing her clothes when she heard the sound and ran out: "What are you doing?"
In 2020, the country's total GDP was approximately US$50 million, and its per capita GDP was US$4,090, which is less than half of my country's per capita GDP. Regardless of area, population or economic scale, Tuvalu is only equivalent to a township in my country.
I had nothing to do in the afternoon, so I just wandered around the city.
Ruby poured a glass of red wine for Chen Yuan: "In a few days, our country will be open to fishing. When will your fleet come?"
Jiang Tao glanced at Lu Lu's father, smiled and nodded: "It's all settled."
Chen Yuan put down his luggage, moved the lounge chair and small table in the living room to the backyard, grabbed another bottle of beer, and was about to lie down when Zhou Sheng and Chen Xin came over.
"Chen Xin and I want to go to the resort, but we don't have enough money."
In the lagoon, the water on the shore is very shallow, probably less than one meter. The water is blue and crystal clear.
I've been feeling a little tired these past two days.
"My father, mother." Ruby introduced.
A day's work in Tuguo works out to 11,000 yuan. Adding another thousand US dollars...the cost of one day's work is more than 17,000 yuan.
Although it is said to be an urban area, it is actually a concentrated residential area.
The two looked at Chen Yuan and the others, smiled and nodded.
There are still a lot of fish in the lagoon.
‘Dong dong~’
"I'm very energetic." Chen Yuan yawned as he spoke.
However, there are many restrictions on fishing in the lagoon.
After walking a few steps, they met a white man and woman. They looked at Chen Yuan and his group and said hello in a friendly manner.
Chen Yuan and his longline fishing boats are all ultra-low-temperature, and their main engines are more powerful than ordinary longline fishing boats. They are all big consumers of oil...
"Borrow some money." Zhou Sheng said sheepishly.
Chen Yuan nodded: "It's okay. Have you contacted the tanker yet?"
Chen Yuan stood up, picked up another bottle, and handed it to Zhou Sheng: "Where are you going to play?"
Chen Yuan and Yan Xiaoxi first checked in and then headed to the private room of the restaurant.
The Australian dollar is the common currency here, and Chen Yuan still has more than 20,000 on hand.
"not yet."
Chen Yuan smiled, bit off the lid, and took a sip.
Lupi's parents had already ordered the dishes, and after a brief chat, the waiter came in with the dishes. Various seafood, and some local specialties...
"Let's go together tomorrow." Chen Yuan went back and got several thousand Australian dollars for Zhou Sheng.
"Have everything been settled here?" Chen Yuan asked.
After the meal, Chen Yuan and the others talked about fishing, and Lu Lu's parents said goodbye and left.
"Mr. Chen." Jiang Tao shouted with a smile.
Two wooden houses located on the edge of the lagoon, with large living room and large bedroom.
The island is not big, and there are not many tourists on the island. A few hundred meters away, Chen Yuan and the others arrived at the restaurant.
It's past eleven now, and the restaurant is empty.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we could already hear the sound of the waves.
Yan Xiaoxi and Chen Xin trotted to the beach. There was a white beach here, and a group of young people were playing volleyball on the beach.
