In the dream, he only got some fragmentary information from the news. He really didn't know the specific situation in Antarctica.
It was just a random thing at first, but I didn’t expect that there was something hidden in it.
"I'm sure, in fact, the largest population in Antarctica is not penguins, but whales. There are probably millions of whales in Antarctica. We only need to catch a few hundred to make a fortune.
And the most important thing is that Antarctica already has a polar night, which makes it more adaptable to the current environment. The food chain does not collapse so quickly. Many whales will spontaneously gather to the Antarctic, which is more conducive to our hunting."
Boss Sun said with excitement.
Of course, the premise for all this is to open Antarctica.
Otherwise, everything is in vain.
"Waling requires professional whaling ships, right?"
Zhang Hao quickly calmed down.
Yang Zhaoxiong took the initiative to take over the conversation: "Director Zhang, in fact, whaling is not as complicated as you think. Some primitive tribes can hunt whales with small wooden boats. We just need to modify it appropriately."
"How many people are there in total among you?"
"I will personally lead the team. The total number of crew members is about two hundred."
"Why does Boss Yang take the risk himself?"
Zhang Hao was a little surprised.
"Such a huge wealth can only be assured if I keep an eye on it personally. To be honest with Director Zhang, I have invested all my wealth in order to make this trip to Antarctica. If it doesn't work out, I will be benevolent."
Yang Zhaoxiong said with a sinister face.
"Sigh... My cargo ship has been confiscated by the higher authorities a long time ago. I'm afraid I won't be able to get it back in a short time."
"What a shame."
Everyone was disappointed.
Zhang Hao lowered his head and thought for a while.
Finally gritted his teeth:
"Let's do this. After all, money is alluring. It's too dangerous for you to set off alone. Give me a few days and I'll go find Mayor He. If the city is interested, we can form a group to go to Antarctica."
"Of course it would be better if the city participated. It can at least improve the safety level by two levels. And to be honest, Antarctica is so big that even our family can't finish it."
Yang Zhaoxiong is happy to see the success.
Zhang Hao nodded: "Based on my understanding of Mayor He, the probability of success this time is very high. If you continue to collect offshore fishing boats, it doesn't matter if the rent is higher."
"Dr. Zhang is grand."
Everyone at the scene echoed.
"Okay, that's it for today! You go back and prepare first, and wait for my good news later.
In addition, as we agreed before, the 300 million yuan will be called to you in the afternoon. Let me say it one last time, you must be fully prepared."
"Director Zhang, don't worry!"
……
After getting into the car, Zhang Hao directly ordered:
"Lao Fang, go back to the headquarters."
"Okay." Fang Zhigang nodded.
Zhang Hao picked up the thermos cup and took a sip of water, then took out his mobile phone and called Mayor He.
"Mayor He, this is me, Zhang Hao, I'm sorry to bother you. Are you free this afternoon?"
"I'm here in the development zone. What can I do for you? Is there another big project coming up?"
Mayor He tried to ask.
Zhang Hao chuckled: "Mayor He, you are right. There is indeed a big project this time, but the risks are a bit high. I wonder if the city is interested?"
"Really? Please tell me in detail."
Mayor He smiled.
"I've been reading the news recently. It seems that they intend to open up the Arctic and Antarctic. At the same time, they also loosen the logging and hunting bans. Am I right?"
"Yes, but this matter is very controversial. There are many environmental groups who oppose it. I'm afraid it won't be passed in a short time." Mayor He analyzed.
"I don't think so."
"Oh? Mr. Zhang, what do you have in mind?"
"Mayor He, I think the federal government will pass these laws soon."
"What's the reason?"
"The reason is very simple. This is a state of emergency. The federal government has absolute power. Once a consensus is reached above, various decrees will be promulgated soon."
Mayor He was noncommittal: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"Once Antarctica is opened, I want to be the first to eat crabs."
Zhang Hao got straight to the point.
"Haha, your boss Zhang is very wealthy, so you can go if you want. The city will definitely support you."
"Ahem, Mayor He, Antarctica is a treasure land! What I mean is that before everyone else does, let's go there and make arrangements in advance to strike first."
"We?" Mayor He reacted immediately.
"That's right, it's definitely not enough for me alone. I can't even find a few fishing boats. Only if the city joins in can we have the chance to eat the richest piece of meat."
Mayor He hesitated: "Director Zhang, I can help you contact several large fishing companies, and you can persuade them to go together. Others...I can't help you."
"Mayor He, it's boring to fight in a small way. If we want to do something, we can do something big. I heard that there are millions of whales in Antarctica, so there is a lot of room for maneuver here."
Zhang Hao tried his best to persuade him.
"How many millions are there really?"
Mayor He's breathing became rapid.
"Of course, the Antarctic fishing ban has been in place for half a century, and the whale population has probably recovered a long time ago. In fact, not only the whale population, but other fishery resources are also very rich. The krill alone alone accounts for more than one billion tons."
"Will Antarctica really be opened up above?"
"Definitely. The entire marine ecology is rapidly collapsing. Even if we don't go to Antarctica, those huge whales will starve to death sooner or later. This is inevitable."
"Can't we wait until the federation issues an order before going?"
Mayor He doesn’t want to take risks.
Going to Antarctica is easy to say, but too difficult to do. If you encounter bad weather or emergencies, your entire army will be wiped out.
He cannot carry such a big pot.
Zhang Hao sighed: "Mayor He, it will be too late when the higher-ups issue orders. Firstly, we are too far away from the Antarctic. Secondly, we have to compete with other cities, so we probably won't get much advantage."
"I said Mr. Zhang, are you so sure?"
"As you know, my sixth sense has always been very accurate, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today."
Zhang Hao can only point out previous successful cases.
"It's useless to just convince me with your reason, you also have to convince other people."
Mayor He admitted that he was moved.
Zhang Hao continued: "Mayor He, to take a step back, even if there is no idea of opening up Antarctica, we can still go fishing in the South Pacific, and we can still gain something."
"Okay, I need to discuss this matter with Governor Li. The city's conditions are limited and there is no way to meet your request."
Mayor He spoke with sincerity and sincerity.
In fact, if you look at the map, you will know that Huicheng only has a short coastline, and the fishery is not as developed as imagined.
"Of course it would be better if we could convince Governor Li. In fact, the more people there are, the greater the advantage. If conditions permit, we can also bring in several surrounding states."
"I'm afraid it's not that easy."
"If the official one doesn't work, we can attract private enterprises. The price of seafood is a bit ridiculously high right now. I don't believe they won't be tempted."
"If you think too much, if you catch so many fish, the price will definitely plummet."
