After returning to Baisha Island and changing into the auxiliary boat, Chen Yuan and the others went directly to Lin Xinhai.
BG42 is running fast, it's only half past twelve.
I called Lin Xinhai in the morning and they were preparing lunch at home.
"Brother Lin." Yan Fuli shouted when he saw the glass house in the coconut grove.
"Alas." Lin Xinhai trotted out: "Brother Yan..."
The two of them didn't know what was going on and laughed.
When we came to the glass house, there were piles of coconuts outside the large living room in the middle. There was a wooden stake and a knife next to the coconuts.
Lin Xinhai opened the coconut with a knife: "The coconuts here are very sweet."
"Coconuts that are mature enough have a high sugar content." Yan Fuli took the coconut from Lin Xinhai and gave it to Xiao Xi's mother, and then said: "Chen Yuan said you are planning to invest in the island here?"
"Yes. Prepare to take over this atoll and the Vulai Atoll next door."
"There are many people in the villages above Vulai Atoll. To capture Vulai Atoll, we will have to pay a lot of money."
Lin Xinhai continued to open a few coconuts and looked at Chen Yuan: "Please accompany us for a walk outside."
"Let's go."
Yan Fuli knew that Lin Xinhai had something to tell him.
Walking in the woods, I sat down on a bench, the wind was blowing, and it was very comfortable.
Lin Xinhai said: "I heard from Chen Yuan that although your fishing company makes money... but its profits are very low?"
"Profits are very small. After various taxes, last year's net profit was only more than 6 million yuan..." Yan Fuli said: "How much net profit can your company make in a year?"
Yan Fuli is very curious about Chen Yuan and his company.
Chen Yuan... is too rich.
The US$100 million atoll, if you say you can take it, take it. This not only shocked Yanfuli...
The shareholders of Yan Fuli's company, Xiao Xi's two uncles, were also shocked.
It was also fishing, how could Chen Yuan and the others make so much money.
"Domestic, the apparent profit is more than 100 million. Last year's catch volume was large, and the domestic profit was 171 million." Lin Xinhai said: "However, our company has loans domestically, and the money in the domestic account is basically used to repay the bank.
Already."
"Does that mean there is still shady income from abroad?" Yan Fuli asked curiously.
"Our fishing boats mainly have two parts of income. One part is the income from returning the fish to the country, which is superficial income. The other income is from selling the fish to foreign companies, and the funds go directly into the accounts of companies registered overseas."
Lin Xinhai Road.
"A company registered overseas?"
"Well. This operation is a bit complicated and requires a relatively wide range of sales channels." Lin Xinhai told Yan Fuli the general operation mode.
Everyone knows that selling fish at sea is extremely cheap. No matter how low the price is, it is understandable.
First register a few trading companies. All fish traded in other countries will be sold to those trading companies at very low prices...and then sold at normal prices, or slightly lower than normal prices.
These transactions have detailed transaction records. It’s just that the trading company collects fish from Fu’an Fishery, and the price is cheaper than trading the fish at sea.
A trading company is an offshore company. This company is there to facilitate the passage of fish into and out of other countries' ports.
Their trading volume is huge, and they have overseas companies operating the trading links. In this way, their company's funds will not be treated as black money.
This operating mode is not novel at all, nor is it the first of its kind in Fu’an Fisheries.
Many fishing companies with simple shareholding structures will operate in this way.
Even Yan Fuli's company has similar operations. But they have not registered an offshore company because they don't catch many fish, so there is no need to register another offshore company...
Their company caught a lot of fish, and when trading at sea, sometimes there was a yin and yang contract, or there was no contract at all. The money went into a separate small treasury.
This is all too common in the offshore fishing industry.
To put it bluntly, the main reason why Fu'an fishery can make so much money is because it catches so many fish.
Yan Fuli is still curious about the operation of Fu'an, but how it works specifically... Although this is not a secret, he will not take the initiative to tell everyone.
"How can you catch so many fish?" Yanfuli said: "I also know a few seine boats. The largest one has a catch of five to six thousand tons a year when there is a lot."
"The first thing is to be able to find fish." Yanfuli said: "Our company now uses satellites and remote sensing WeChat to detect the temperature of the sea area, as well as seaweed, ocean currents, etc. With these data, we can use experience to know where the fish are.
Wherever there may be a large number of aggregation fish..."
Fish, except for the temperature of the sea water, basically go wherever there is more food.
In sea areas with a lot of seaweed, you don’t have to think about it, there must be a lot of fish.
Small fish eat seaweed. Big fish eat small fish...
"Can we use large seine boats?" Yanfuli asked, "I mean the catch."
"Basically, several thousand tons a month." Lin Xinhai said: "Sometimes if you are lucky, you can get thousands of tons in one net. Thousands of tons in one net are not that common. But several hundred tons in one net, that's a lot."
"Nowadays, fish aggregators cannot be used in many places. Are you still using them?"
"Use it, why not?" Chen Yuan said: "Fishing boats in other countries are all using fish aggregators. Seine boats at sea do not use fish aggregators, which is a big disadvantage. However, this fish aggregator usually depends on the sea area.
It’s often carried on the nanny’s boat…not on the fishing boat.”
It is used in other countries. Anyone who honestly follows the rules of the Fisheries Association is what we call an honest person and deserves to suffer.
Fish aggregators are not allowed on fishing boats, so aren’t there still nanny boats?
Even in some strictly managed exclusive economic zones, the use of fish aggregators is really not allowed... But as long as you know how far away the fish aggregators are, you will know that the fish aggregators can be replaced by auxiliary boats carried on fishing boats.
In areas with dense resources in the exclusive economic zone, put two or three auxiliary boats down, and then use sound waves to simulate the sounds of sardines or mackerel movements to attract tuna.
Technology is always improving.
The more advanced the fishing boat, the higher the fishing efficiency.
Even without the need for an auxiliary boat, the fishing boat itself can make sounds that simulate the movement of fish schools and attract large schools of tuna.
Without these means, do you really think that you can easily encounter hundreds or thousands of tons of super-large tuna schools on the sea?
Starting from finding fish, then how to gather fish... and finally setting the net.
Yanfuli really didn’t know how the seine boat was actually operated. When he stopped, he was shocked. Especially when he heard that remote sensing satellites were used to find fish...
"Can our longline fishing boats use satellites to find fish?" Yanfuri asked.
"Yes. The most important thing for longline fishing boats is the ocean current map. With the ocean current map, it is very easy to find fish. No one knows how to find fish better than Chen Yuan..."
