Xiang Yang believed that as long as he did not interfere, Li Chao and Zhang Qichen would be happy in the end. This was Xiang Yang's confidence in Li Chao.
As expected, Li Chao, who was extremely cunning, stopped worrying about it as soon as he heard what Xiang Yang said. He smiled and said, "Brother Xiang, what is your main goal this time?"
What Li Chao was talking about was, of course, the shark fins from those dead great white sharks.
"Don't worry, we've found out everything. Those great white sharks are now lying on the bottom of the sea. There is no danger around. We can send people down to harvest the shark fins at any time." Xiang Yang replied with a smile.
When everyone heard what Xiang Yang said, they quickly shifted their attention from the Chinese lobster to the shark fin. They looked at Xiang Yang intently, waiting for his order.
"That's great, Brother Xiang. If that's the case, let's not delay any further and send people down to harvest the crops right away," Li Chao urged.
Although the two Chinese Splendid lobsters are precious, shark fins are just as expensive as Chinese Splendid lobsters. The most difficult thing is that many great white sharks died this time, and there are many pairs of shark fins.
Of course, what excited Li Chao the most was that these shark fins could be seen in the light, because these sharks died of natural causes without human factors.
Xiang Yang knew that Li Chao was really looking forward to the shark fins. After thinking for a while, Xiang Yang gave an order: "Go get a few more sets of diving equipment. Chen Qingsheng, Chen Fusheng, Zhou Wang, Tang Bao, Fang Youqun, the five of you, get ready and go to the sea with me to fish for shark fins. Master Xu, you stay on the boat."
"Yes, Captain." Chen Qingsheng, Chen Fusheng, Zhou Wang and Fang Youqun answered at the same time.
"Don't worry, Captain. Xiang Chen and I are on the boat, so I hope nothing will go wrong." Xu Fang also said with a smile.
"Let's go, move."
At Xiang Yang's command, a group of people took action immediately. The few people who were going into the sea began to quickly put on diving equipment. Xu Fang led the crew members who were not going into the sea to the side of the ship, ready to pick up Xiang Yang and others with ropes and fish baskets at any time.
Soon, Xiang Yang and his team began to cut off the fins of the dead great white sharks one by one. Every time they brought a piece on board, Li Chao would call it a treasure with his eyes shining.
"There are a total of seven great white sharks and six and a half sets of shark fins. They are all here." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"Thank you so much." Li Chao rubbed his hands together. "The price of shark fins will be 10% higher than the market price. In addition, I am happy today. I will give a red envelope of 500 yuan to each of the crew members on your ship, and 1,000 yuan to the crew members who went to sea."
"Then I would like to thank Brother Chao on behalf of the crew." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
At the same time, Xiang Yang himself was not stingy and said directly: "Everyone who went out to sea with me today will get a red envelope of 1,000 yuan. Chen Qingsheng will go to sea with me twice, so he will get 2,000 yuan."
When the crew heard this, they were immediately overjoyed.
This money is a small amount for Li Chao and Xiang Yang, but for them, it is a windfall.
"Captain." Xu Fang did not forget his mission. He asked, "Should we continue to cast the net now?"
"No more." Xiang Yang said with a smile: "I am very satisfied with today's harvest. Let's stop here for today. Now I will return to the ship. After we return, I will give all of you half a day off."
Xiang Yang's harvest today was really rich, seven great white sharks and two Chinese lobsters, which were enough to keep an ordinary ocean-going fishing boat out in the open sea for half a month.
... ...
In Huhai Town, a brand new double-decker bus slowly stopped on the main street.
The door opened, and a large group of people got off the bus in an orderly manner. There were both men and women among them. Most of them were older, and a small number were young people. But without exception, everyone was very well-mannered. With so many people getting off the bus, no one ran around or made loud noises after getting off. The young people even took the initiative to help the elderly with their things.
"Dean Chen, is this Qinglong Bend?" An old lady carrying a black luggage bag asked Professor Chen Yu with a smile.
"This is Huhai Town, which is still some distance from Qinglongwan." Professor Chen Yu pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said with a modest smile, "Professor Cai, why do you have so much luggage? Let me help you carry it."
"No, I'm in good health. Most of the things in this bag are necessary instruments for collecting biological samples, and a small part are daily necessities." Cai Xiali said with a smile.
Professor Chen Yu smiled and nodded slightly.
Only a part of these people are teachers and students of the Maritime Academy, and the rest are professionals in marine biology and members of animal protection associations.
The last time a video of a humpback whale and a killer whale appearing together in Qinglong Bay was released, it caused a great shock in the biological community and animal protection associations. Many people did not believe that these two creatures would appear in the same sea area at the same time, and they did not believe that no war would break out after these two creatures appeared in the same frame. This was very incredible.
Therefore, a maritime university took the lead in organizing an investigation mission, and Professor Chen Yu was the captain of the mission.
Soon, members of the expedition team got out of the car one after another and stood in two neat rows.
"Professor Cai, can you say a few words first?" Professor Chen Yu looked at Cai Xiali with a smile.
Old Mrs. Cai smiled and shook her head. "I'm not very good at communicating. Dean Chen, please speak."
Professor Chen Yu was not pretentious. He nodded and said directly: "Dear teachers and students, we have now arrived at Huhai Town. Although we are still some distance away from Qinglongwan, our investigation has actually begun. Next, let's discuss whether we should go to Qinglongwan first and then go to Huhai Town for investigation, or start the investigation from Huhai Town first."
Scientific research is a very rigorous matter.
When investigating something, it is often necessary to first investigate a large number of factors, including the surrounding environmental factors, including environmental pollution, wastewater discharge, local geological types and so on.
After hearing what Chen Yu said, a group of people immediately started discussing. Some said they should first go to Huhai Town to conduct an environmental survey, while others said they should first go to Qinglongwan for a direct on-site investigation.
"Okay." Professor Chen Yu spoke, and the group of people immediately quieted down.
"We will split into two groups. One group will be led by Professor Cai and will first investigate Huhai Town. The other group will be led by me and will head straight to Qinglongwan. However, these are not the most important things." Professor Chen Yu smiled and said, "The most important thing now is to find a restaurant and have lunch first."
"Yes, that's right. This is probably the last peaceful meal we will have for a long time. Once the inspection work officially begins, we will become very busy, and then basically every meal will be working meals." Old Mrs. Cai also said with a smile.
