"Xiaoxian, in two days it will be time for bidding on the fishing grounds near Haiqing City. Do you have any intention of choosing a location?"
After chatting for a while, Hong Chenghai got down to the topic and asked him.
"I'm not optimistic about this yet." Chu Xian thought for a while and said.
There are a total of forty or fifty fishing grounds for bidding in the entire sea area near Haiqing City. There are large and small fishing grounds. There are many considerations in choosing a fishing ground. Chu Xian does not know much about these.
"Well, don't worry, you can go and take a look at every fishing ground in the next two days." Hong Chenghai said: "As long as you choose a fishing ground, you will 100% win the bid. Of course, the premise is that your price cannot be too different from others. We have already made an agreement with the relevant departments, and you can choose the fishing ground in Haiqing City!"
"Yes." A smile appeared on Chu Xian's face: "Then I will go to various fishing grounds in the next two days."
"Xiaoxian, you have to get the relevant qualification certificates in the past two days. Now there are more and more requirements for fish farming." Hong Chenghai reminded.
"No problem." Chu Xian nodded.
With some help from Hong Chenghai, Chu Xian used the afternoon to complete all the required relevant qualifications.
In the evening, I talked to Xiaoying on the phone for an hour, mainly telling him that she had returned to China and was going to rent a fishing ground.
Early the next morning, Chu Xian drove towards the fishing grounds around Haiqing City.
Haiqing City is close to the Yellow Sea. In recent years, the large reduction of fish in public areas has led to the rise of private fishing grounds. Chu Xian took out a marked map of fishing grounds given to him by Hong Chenghai.
There are actually more than forty or fifty fishing grounds around Haiqing City, but more than a hundred. However, many of them are fishing grounds in villages or towns, which are related to the economy of a village or town, so they are not within the scope of the bidding.
Most of the places within this range are sparsely populated or far away from villages.
Chu Xian drove the car towards the seaside, came to the nearest fishing ground, got out of the car and looked inside.
Each seine net encloses an area in the sea. The fishing ground here is not very deep. There are rows of fish cages next to it. There are more than a dozen fishing boats around. The entire fishing ground is very large, covering several kilometers in radius. A large number of lobsters, oysters and other seafood are cultivated in the fishery.
There are several small houses on the shore of the fishing ground, and a group of fishermen are drying fish on the beach. There are also several fishing boats fishing in the distance in the sea. Looking into the distance, seabirds are flying in the sky, dazzling The sun shines and the entire sea surface sparkles.
Chu Xian squinted his eyes slightly, and suddenly felt that this kind of life was very comfortable. Maybe when he gets old, he can buy an island and build some houses. During the day, he can drive a ship and fish in the sea, and at night he can lie on the beach with the sea breeze blowing. Think about it or forget it. People are social beings. Sometimes this kind of life can be leisurely and comfortable, but after a long time, it will definitely become unbearable.
Walking towards the fishing ground, Chu Xian looked at the dried fish on the beach. Most of them were small yellow croakers and hairtails. These two fishes are very abundant in the Yellow Sea.
"Auntie, what kind of fish are raised in this fishery?" Chu Xian came over and asked a working woman.
The woman looked up at Chu Xian and said, "Crabs, jellyfish, lobsters, oysters, etc. The water here is shallow, so we can only cultivate these things, but the yield is pretty good, just feed some aquatic plants."
"Xiuwen, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and work, the fishing boats from Nanshan will be here soon and you will be busy again!" An older man on the side reminded.
"Hmm, speaking of which, they have been out to sea for more than a week, and I heard that they have harvested a lot this time!" Xiuwen's woman smiled and immediately picked up the fish on the beach.
Chu Xian looked at the old man and smiled, then looked towards the fishing ground and suddenly saw seven or eight fishing boats approaching from a distance.
The fishing boat is not big, it is a small simple fishing boat. This kind of fishing boat is the lowest level. Once it encounters strong winds and waves, it may be life-threatening, but it will not be a big problem if it does not travel too far.
About ten minutes later, several fishing boats arrived at the beach, and the women and elderly people working on the beach immediately walked over.
"How was it? Did you catch some precious seafood?" a woman asked loudly.
"Our broken ship still wants precious seafood, don't even think about it, but this time the harvest is good, we returned home with a full load!" A man on the ship replied loudly.
"That's good, that's good!"
Chu Xian curiously walked over and came to several boats. He saw that they were filled with various fishes, mainly hairtail, small yellow croaker, sardines, and most of the fish were dead, but for a small boat like theirs, Said, it is very difficult to get live fish.
Even so, there were three to four tons of fish on each boat, and the two large fishing boats had more fish in them.
"This harvest is estimated to fetch 80,000 to 90,000 yuan." A man said happily, placing fish in the basin next to him.
"There is an albacore tuna here. It's a pity it's not a bluefin tuna, haha, but it should be sold for eight or nine hundred yuan." A man picked up an albacore tuna weighing seven or eight kilograms and said with a smile.
"I didn't expect to be able to catch a tuna. This guy is very fast and rarely catches it."
Chu Xian listened to the laughter of a group of people and walked towards him. A middle-aged man in leather clothes looked at him and frowned slightly: "Little brother, what are you doing here?"
"Come and have a look at the fishing ground." Chu Xian smiled, then took out a cigarette and handed it to him: "You have a good harvest!"
"Well, what's good is that it's better than before. It can't be compared with those big fishing boats. You can make dozens or millions of dollars per trip. With our small boats, each family can only earn a few thousand yuan at most per trip. , and you can’t go to sea often. If it weren’t for the fishery, you would have starved to death!” The middle-aged man lit up his cigarette and took a puff, shaking his head and saying.
"Haha, how is your fishing ground?" Chu Xian looked at the fishing ground aside and said.
The middle-aged man looked at him for a moment and said, "That's it. A dozen of us rented a fishery together and barely made ends meet. Sorry, little brother, we're going to be busy!"
Chu Xian found that the middle-aged man didn't want to say more, but he didn't care. After all, in this period of bidding, it was impossible to tell outsiders some things.
After looking around for a while, Chu Xian drove towards another fishing ground. This fishing ground was similar to the one just now, but this one was contracted by one person. His arrival caused ostracism in the fishing ground.
"This kind of fishery is not as good as the fish farm in Fengtai District!" Chu Xian drove the car and thought to himself. The conditions for fish farming in the fishery on the seaside are not very good, and there are great restrictions. There are many fish. It cannot be cultured, but shellfish, lobsters and crabs are no problem.
"Let's go and have a look at Hongshan Canyon!" Chu Xian thought for a while and drove towards Hongshan Canyon.
Hongshan Gorge is another famous fish farming area in Haiqing City, but unlike Fengtai District, Hongshan Gorge is a pure seafood farming area.
After half an hour's journey, Chu Xian pushed the car aside and walked inside.
Hongshan Canyon is said to be a canyon, but it is not actually a canyon. It is just a few hills on both sides. A river seven to eight kilometers long and dozens of meters wide connects to the Yellow Sea, forming a large breeding area here.
There are a total of fifteen fish farms in Hongshan Canyon, and all the fish farms here are included in this bidding. Compared with the first two fish farms on the seaside, the scale and momentum of the fish farms here are much larger.
First of all, at the entrance of the fishing ground, there are built steps, stone benches, guardrails and nets inside, and neat fishing boats on the riverside, with various large sea fish inside.
"These fishing grounds are great!" Chu Xian looked at the fishing grounds in this canyon with gleaming eyes. The entire fishing ground was divided into five areas. Each area was very large. Although the two sides of the canyon were not so good. The geographical location is not bad, at least the sea water is deep enough, and there are not many restrictions on breeding.
"It would be nice to have a fishing ground here." Chu Xian thought to himself when he suddenly heard some noisy sounds.
Chu Xian was stunned for a moment and turned his head curiously. He saw a few middle-aged people in suits and leather shoes arguing with a few people dressed as fishermen on the shore. He moved closer curiously.
"We came here to inspect the situation, why did you stop us? Huh? Are we just looking to see if it's in your way?" A middle-aged man in a suit said with an angry face.
"If you want to inspect, go somewhere else. Don't come to our fishery. We don't welcome you!"
"Who are you? We came to investigate and you still don't give permission? Who gave you this right!"
"This fishing ground belongs to us, and we have rights. Get out of here, or don't blame us for being rude!"
"You, you. The bidding period is coming soon, and now we have the right to inspect the situation!"
"Haha, we will continue to raise fish in this fishery. You should go wherever you want. If you want to win our fishery, don't even think about it. Just get out!"
"Fair competition, as long as our price is high, we will win the bid. Before that, we also have the right to come and inspect!"
"Haha, fair competition? I'm telling you, don't even think about it. I'm not afraid to tell you. Do you have people? Do you have a backend? As long as we want to continue breeding, you don't even have to think about it!"
The man from the fishery yelled loudly and arrogantly at the middle-aged men in suits. The middle-aged men looked very embarrassed and turned around and left angrily!
"I have always heard that there are many inside stories about the bidding of fisheries. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that it is true!"
Several middle-aged people walked not far from Chu Xian, and one of them said angrily.
"It's so difficult to win the bid. Unless we are willing to spend a lot of money to set the price of this fishery higher, and then make the owner of this fishery give up, otherwise, don't even think about it."
Several people shook their heads and walked past him.
