Seven hundred and nineteen chapters have to bite the bullet
"Isn't this a scam? You need to use chemical fertilizers to raise fish! The fishing team and the fishmongers are working together to lower the price! There is still a way for good people to survive!" Hong Tao sat down on the deck and couldn't get up, like a deflated rubber ball.
"The problem is that you are not a good person either!" Boss Liu was still criticizing him!
"That's what the contractor did in the past. I saw with my own eyes that he hired people to salvage the water and then hauled them away one by one. If the rainfall hadn't been too severe, he would have been reluctant to transfer the reservoir to me. He wouldn't have done the same.
Compensate!" Hong Tao was still not convinced and found another reason.
"Then you have to ask him. Maybe he just specializes in this. He has his own fishing team and fishmongers. He doesn't know anything about reservoir farming and he just came to do it, let alone doing it on such a big scale. You
If only one-third of this reservoir could be covered with internet boxes,
I will immediately bring my son to raise fish for you. It won’t take long. In three years, we, father and son, will become rich people, and you will be even richer! But raising fish in the wild... at most, you can only pay for it... This is still a big deal.
Let's see what we do..." Old Man Li pushed back Hong Tao's reasons again.
Old Man Jin, who specializes in contracting to plant fruit trees in barren mountains, spoke much more kindly than Old Man Li, but his content was not at all kind. He suggested that Hong Tao not plant fruit trees because the soil on the slopes near the water was too thin and not suitable for growing fruit trees, but the top of the mountain was not suitable for growing fruit trees.
It can be planted, but there is no way to water, fertilize or apply pesticides. In addition, there are wild boars here, so the chance of survival of small saplings is very low, so it is of little significance.
Old man Jin suggested that Hong Tao plant some Pinus tabulaeformis, not for the purpose of producing results, but to wait for them to become useful. After 10 years, he could contact the forestry department. After becoming useful, he could cut down part of them every year, and then replant them.
You can make money by selling wood.
"10 years? Can I survive these 10 years?" Hong Tao turned a deaf ear to Old Man Jin's words. Ten thousand years is too long. He can only fight for the day. If fish farming cannot generate enough income, he will not be able to survive at all.
After 10 years, and planting trees is not a white species, you have to buy saplings and hire people, which is another huge expense.
"Don't be too discouraged. I will give you an idea that will allow you to sell your wild fish at the same price as fish in cages. You can make a few empty cages next to the pier, and then once the fishmonger lowers your price, you
Just put the fish in it and keep it first. Although there may be a little loss, as long as the density in the cage is smaller, the loss can be tolerated. In this way, your income can be a little more, but it is different from the real net.
Fish raised in boxes are incomparable. I estimate that if the sales are good, it will be no problem to get three million a year. The main thing is that you have to put enough fry, not less. This kind of stocked fish grows slowly and is difficult to catch.
The fish are all from 2 years ago. You keep catching them year after year. If you released less last year, you won’t be able to see it this year, and you will be dumbfounded next year.” Old Man Li looked at Hong Tao’s dejected look and gave him another shot.
An idea.
"Next time if you have something to say, can you please say it several times? You've almost given me a heart attack. If it's done, I'll do as you say. I'll go find a sale right away! Uncle Liu, Uncle Fat! You
Do you two know the fishmonger?" After listening to Old Man Li's words, Hong Tao resurrected on the spot with full health. As long as he can basically guarantee the annual contracting fee, Hong Tao can hold on even if he pays hundreds of thousands.
"We can do this business, but you dare to do it without thinking about anything! I have no place to find a fishmonger for you! I will find a few supermarkets for you, and you can hire a car to deliver them to them at a designated time. Maybe
The price can be higher!" Liu
The boss had a black line on his forehead, and he wanted to kick Hong Tao into the water. However, he still found some ways for Hong Tao. As for whether he could underwrite all Hong Tao's fish, it would depend on how Hong Tao negotiated with them.
.
"That's good...that's good...hey...by the way...how many of you...I'm treating you to iron pot fish head cakes. That's enough. Let's try our fish first. Let's go.
Let's go!" Finally, the fish farming matter was settled for the time being. Hong Tao was in a good mood and also thought about eating. There is nothing else to eat here, except for pheasants and badgers, which are rare game.
Reservoir fish are a very good thing.
In fact, Hong Tao's mind is still very firm. No matter what kind of opposition he encounters, he still moves forward in the direction he has designed. And his friends are also interesting enough. Those who have connections can help him find connections and connections.
Help him find connections, such as building materials, engineering construction, fish fry, saplings, everything that can be used is found, and the ones that are not used are also found.
Everyone gathered firewood and the flames were high! Before Labor Day, Hongtao, a green ecological reservoir, finally began to take shape. The original office building of the reservoir management office was transformed into a building integrating accommodation and catering, with 8 guest rooms and a
Restaurant and a café, Vera
He and Tasia became the managers here, and in their free time they would also play for the guests who dine and stay here. For this purpose, Boss Liu also dedicated a piano, which is said to have been bought by Liu Xiaomei when she was in school.
It was left in the garage with no one using it, and now it has found a new owner.
In addition, Hong Tao also built a mobile house of more than 200 square meters in the middle of the reservoir to serve as a base camp for warehouse patrols. He retained all seven warehouse patrols hired by the previous contractor, with a salary of 800 including food and accommodation, and continued to pay two wages a day.
The inspection of the reservoir is divided into several sections, mainly to prevent net fishing and electrofishing, collect fishing fees and provide some basic services to fishermen.
There are also some materials such as fertilizers, fishing nest materials and fishing gear stored here. Hong Tao has given up on large-scale planting of fruit trees and only tried planting a few hundred trees on the hillside where the house is located. Gao Miao found them for him
The five helpers usually had nothing to do. They totaled it up and then took the hillside and the hillside next to it.
After contracting it, they planted risky fields, basically corn. They paid Hong Tao 2 tons of corn beans as rent every year, and the remaining seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, etc. were borne by themselves. These 2 tons of corn beans were not wasted by Hong Tao.
Most of the people fishing here don’t bring nest materials, so we can just sell them to them without any waste.
The only docking pier was slightly renovated by Hong Tao. A floating pier was added to replace the original pier built on a sloping earth slope. This way, whenever the water rises and falls, people who want to take a boat into the reservoir area do not have to go from there.
To carry things to the ship dozens of meters away, you can drive the car directly to the floating
Loading and unloading at the dock. On the shore of the dock, Hong Tao also hired excavators and road rollers to build a simple parking lot, which can park about 20 ordinary family cars. In addition to an original parking lot inside the dam, basically
It can park 40 cars, so there will no longer be the embarrassment of having no place to park when Hong Tao came in the previous life.
With these facilities in place, Hong Tao's reservoir can be considered to have the preliminary function of receiving fishermen. As for other facilities, Hong Tao is more cautious. He plans to work for a year and then see if the amount of losses is within his tolerance range.
If the loss is too large, then he will continue to invest in the construction. If the loss is too large, then he will have to think about whether he can continue to play with the reservoir.
Just the initial investment, 200,000 silver carp and silver carp fry, at a ratio of 4:1, 3 or 4 fish per catty, cost him more than 300,000 yuan. Including the newly built and renovated houses, it cost him more than 500,000 yuan.
10,000, he will set up cages near the dock in 2 or 3 months
, in order to temporarily feed the fish that were caught, he also had to pay staff wages and so on. He also wanted to buy a small speedboat. The total of the bits and pieces was about 1 million. Counting his contracting expenses for the year, it was already 400.
It's more than 10,000 yuan, which has reached his investment limit.
In April, Irene brought Paul and Carl back, and even went to the reservoir to see Hong Tao's project. Paul's opinion was slightly more positive than Pan's. He believed that if the resources of the reservoir could be fully utilized, some additional resources could be added.
Business projects, such as paramotors, paragliders, kayaks and even seaplanes, have good profit prospects.
However, Hong Tao cannot immediately agree to the projects Paul mentioned, let alone implement them. Since this reservoir is a water source, any development and utilization must go through very cumbersome procedures to obtain approval. Hong Tao has no time to go through these procedures for the time being.
Even if you run, you can't run for a month or two. Paul has been in China for more than a day or two. He understands China's national conditions even better than Pan, and he also understands the difficulties Hong Tao said.
But a capitalist is a capitalist. No matter how nice he talks, when he can't see the benefits, he is just an iron rooster, and he will not pluck a dime. Paul thought that there was a little bit of rust in these iron roosters, so he shook himself and dropped a little.
Tie Xiu invested US$200,000 in Hong Tao in his own name and became the third living shareholder of Pan Hong's company.
In Paul's own words, this investment was a favor to Hong Tao. The fishing boat was confiscated by Hong Tao. Although it was nominally Hong Tao's, he always used it awkwardly. Now it is equivalent to converting it into money and returning it to Hong Tao, saving Hong Tao.
In the future, if there is a bigger favor that needs him to repay, then he will be passive.
"Our favor is worth 200,000 yuan! Then I will lose money. When I finish my work and participate in another sub-station competition, the bonus alone will be almost the same!" Hong Tao does not expect Paul and the others to really invest. They and
Pan is different. Pan is really using money to coax him to play. Although this woman is a complete capitalist, she still seems to have this kind of personality in her character.
Similar to the factor of righteousness. But Paul and his friends are 100% capitalists who eat people without spitting out their bones. In their eyes, friends are friends and business is business. Even if I bankrupt you, then I will
Even if they give you money to help you, they can't show any affection when doing business. This is their creed as a person, and no one can change it. (To be continued...)
