The fishermen were enthusiastic, but Xiang Yang had to pour cold water on them. "This is not a long-term solution. The fishery resources in Qinglongwan were also very rich in the past, but after all these years of fishing, how are the fishery resources now? Nowadays, the aquatic products on the seabed of Qinglongwan are relatively abundant, but if everyone rushes in like this, it won't be long before they are all fished out. By then, we may not even be able to get back the money we spent on buying diving equipment."
The fishermen all looked at Xiang Yang eagerly. They felt that what Xiang Yang said made some sense, but they always felt that something was wrong.
"Brother Yang, what do you say we should do? You take all the catch from the bottom of the Qinglong Bay by yourself, and then everyone will watch you get rich?" A young man from the village said angrily.
His kindness was taken for granted, so Xiang Yang stopped trying to persuade him. "Okay then, if you want to buy diving equipment, you can go to the village chief these two days. I will tell him the channels for purchasing diving equipment. But I have to make some things clear to everyone in advance. I didn't ask you to buy this diving equipment, so you can't blame me if you lose money."
Xiang Yang didn't expect that his angry words would make the villagers smile one by one. They praised Xiang Yang for his kindness and righteousness, and said that they could make money together. At the same time, they urged Xiang Yang to quickly tell the village chief the channel to buy diving equipment.
Seeing this scene, Xiang Yang's anger suddenly disappeared. A person's height is determined by his vision. The villagers' vision is limited to the Qinglongwan sea area. Even when facing the sea, they can only see a small Qinglongwan. They cannot see the boundless sea outside.
But now that things have come to this, even if Xiang Yang has calmed down, he will not say any more words of dissuasion, as that would be a thankless task.
Only when people recognize the reality and confirm that they have reached the end of their rope, can they abandon their inherent cognition and open up a new path to success.
Of course, the main reason why Xiang Yang stopped persuading them was that there were indeed some catches on the seabed of Qinglong Bay. The first batch of fishermen who bought diving equipment could indeed make some money. As for the second, third and even later batches who still couldn't recognize the reality, they deserved to lose money. This was the inevitable elimination of old people and old things that had to happen before the opening of every new waterway and every new fishing ground.
Xiang Yang didn't want to listen to these fishermen praising him against their will, so he spent 200 yuan to hire four young and strong fishermen to help him pack all the flounder into large plastic buckets and carry them home, while he went to the village chief's house. The four fishermen chosen by Xiang Yang immediately smiled and promised Xiang Yang that they would send all the turbot back to Xiang's house as quickly as possible.
In the yard of the village chief's house, Xiang Yang found the village chief who was eating clams, and directly explained his purpose.
The village chief was overjoyed when he heard what Xiang Yang said. These days he had been doing ideological work from house to house in the village, hoping that everyone could buy a set of diving equipment so that they could have a better life in the future. However, the effect was very poor. The villagers were scared by the expensive price of the diving equipment. They didn't expect that Xiang Yang could arouse the enthusiasm of the villagers just by taking a stroll in the sea.
But then the village chief became worried again, "Xiaoyang, if everyone in the village bought diving equipment, would we be able to have a better life?"
"Definitely not. If you sell less than 30 sets, you can still make some money in a short period of time. But if you sell more than 30 sets of diving equipment, it would be good enough if you can break even." Xiang Yang shook his head.
The village chief was immediately anxious when he heard this, "What should I do?"
"The best way is to control the number of diving equipment purchased and let some villagers make some money first. But can you control the number of diving equipment purchased, uncle village chief?" Xiang Yang asked back.
It is unrealistic to control the number of diving equipment. Now it is a market economy. When the villagers see with their own eyes that the first batch of people who bought diving equipment have made money, it would be strange if they don't follow suit.
"Xiaoyang, do you have any better ideas?"
"have."
The village chief was just asking casually, but he didn't expect Xiang Yang to actually have an idea, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Xiang Yang expressed his thoughts, "Gather small amounts of money and do big things together. As long as we can mobilize the villagers, we can raise funds to buy large ships and open up new fishing grounds in the deeper ocean."
The village chief's eyes dimmed, and he forced a smile and said, "Let's talk about this later."
Xiang Yang did not continue the topic. The conditions were indeed not yet ripe for Yanlong Village to engage in deep-sea fishing.
Imagine asking villagers who would think twice before buying a set of diving equipment worth several thousand yuan to raise tens of millions of yuan to purchase a small or medium-sized trawler. Is this idea realistic
The ocean is a huge treasure, but that treasure belongs only to those with a fearless spirit of adventure.
Xiang Yang said goodbye to the village chief, went home and called Zhang Qicheng.
Zhang Qicheng was a little excited when he received Xiang Yang's call, and half-jokingly asked, "What good stuff does Mr. Xiang have for me this time?"
Zhang Qicheng used the French blue dragon to set up a big scheme and hype it up. Although according to the agreement the French blue dragon must be sold to Boss Li, everyone in the circle knew that Zhang Qicheng had got a big French blue dragon, which really made Zhang Qicheng's popularity in the circle rise to a new level.
Hearing Zhang Qicheng say this, Xiang Yang felt embarrassed and said tactfully, "Mr. Zhang, please don't make fun of me. They are just some worthless flounders, but they are quite fat. Each one weighs more than two kilograms, and the total weight is close to four hundred kilograms. Mr. Zhang, where do you want me to deliver the goods?"
Zhang Qicheng lost interest when he heard it was a flounder and weighed less than 400 pounds. "I'll text you the address later. Just call a Huolala to deliver it. When we get there, my people will inspect the goods and transfer the money directly to your card."
"Okay, then I'll send it to you later." Zhang Qicheng lost interest, but Xiang Yang hung up the phone happily.
After booking a Huolala, Xiang Yang moved all the flounder and a small number of swimming crabs and lobsters onto the Huolala truck and wanted to leave them alone, but Xiang's father insisted on going with the truck.
When the catches are received by the other party, they need to be weighed again. Xiang Yang believes that the other party is trustworthy and will not tamper with the scale, but Xiang's father does not believe it.
Xiang Yang shook his head. His father thought that Zhang Qicheng's seafood wholesale city was just like those small vendors in the town. For a business to be as successful as Zhang Qicheng's, it meant that he valued reputation more than his life, and credibility had long been integrated into the core of his corporate culture.
However, since Xiang's father was willing to run away, Xiang Yang did not stop him. He could not stop him anyway. The worst that could happen was that he would just waste a few dozen dollars in car fare when he came back.
After watching Xiang's father drive away in the passenger seat of the Huolala car, Xiang Yang returned to his room and logged into JD.com again.
