Xiang Yang nodded. Nowadays, most coastal tourist destinations are done this way during the New Year. Although there is still a possibility of dangerous marine creatures appearing, the probability is too small.
If we equip them with full-body diving suits and send a few staff members to patrol underground with biological electric guns, safety will not be a problem at all.
Of course, there are better ways, but the investment required is too huge.
"How many sets of diving equipment are there on the ship?" Xiang Yang asked Zhang Qicheng.
"There are about seven or eight sets. It's similar on the other cruise ship." Li Chao said.
These diving equipment were not prepared by Li Chao specifically for this voyage. They were all diving equipment already on the fishing boat and were also prepared for the staff on the cruise ship.
"Yes, there are more than ten sets." Xiang Yang nodded and said, "Let the cab find a shallower sea area to stop the boat."
Zhang Qicheng had this idea a long time ago, but the idea was dispelled because of the appearance of the blue jellyfish. Now that the blue jellyfish has disappeared, Xiang Yang took the initiative to bring up this matter again, and Zhang Qicheng was naturally the first to support it.
As soon as the two cruise ships stopped, Zhang Qicheng couldn't wait to put on his diving suit, then pulled Xiang Yang and said, "Brother Xiang, come with me."
Xiang Yang glanced at the crew members and said with a smile: "I won't go down. There are limited diving suits on the ship. My crew members all want to go down. You go down with them."
When the crew heard this, they immediately became restless.
Fang Youqun was the first to shout, "Brother Yang, I want a diving suit. I want to go down."
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "It's fine if you want a diving suit, but there will be no bonus this time."
In the past, every time Xiang Yang asked the crew to go out to sea on a fishing boat, there would be a bonus. Regardless of whether they caught any fish or not, the bonus would be indispensable.
"Brother Yang, it doesn't matter if there is no bonus. We came out to have fun this time and we took a cruise ship. The catch... hehe." Fang Youqun smiled awkwardly. Although his purpose was not stated explicitly, it was self-evident.
Xiang Yang burst out laughing. "Since you are here for fun, the fish you catch are naturally yours. However, this diving suit belongs to Mr. Li. Mr. Li has not yet agreed to lend it to you."
Fang Youqun immediately looked at Li Chao eagerly.
Li Chao smiled and shook his head. "When you are underwater, be careful and don't get too far away. You can make money at any time. This trip is mainly for fun. Of course, if you really catch any rare fish, you can sell them to me directly."
Li Chao was actually giving face to Xiang Yang.
During this outing, Li Chao treated Xiang Yang and his crew members to a very high standard. He even took out some of the silver pomfret, yellow fish and tiger crab that he had just received from Xiang Yang to entertain Xiang Yang and his crew members.
To put it bluntly, there were only a dozen or so diving suits, and they were the most rudimentary ones.
It would be great if the diver could earn back the seafood he ate today before the oxygen in the oxygen tank runs out.
The crew members immediately rushed to grab the diving equipment, and no one was willing to give in.
Finally, it was Xiang Yang who came up with an idea and personally stepped in to mediate. This time, each person was only allowed to dive for twenty minutes. When the time was up, they had to come up immediately and give the diving suit to the next person. In this way, everyone could dive with these more than ten sets of diving suits.
The first group to go down were naturally the old sailors who had first followed Xiang Yang to sea.
Fang Youqun put on a diving suit, smiled proudly at the person behind him, and then was the first to jump into the sea. After reaching the sea, he deliberately waved towards the boat.
Those crew members on the ship who were not given diving suits immediately became angry and started cursing.
Fang Youqun burst into laughter, put on his mask, and dived toward the bottom of the sea.
The sea here is flat, without giant seaweeds as big as houses, and without coral reefs of various shapes and sizes. On the soft, orange-yellow sandy beach, there are sparse clumps of seaweed, and countless scallops and conchs lie on the soft sand.
When the crew members went down to the bottom of the sea and saw this scenery, they were immediately disappointed.
Such a scene means that this sea area is one of the most barren sea areas and there is no valuable seafood at all.
As expected, Chen Qingsheng swam a long circle on the seabed, but he didn't see a single sea fish bigger than his palm. Instead, finger-sized sea fish were everywhere, and even formed small schools of fish that swam around on the seabed, adding endless vitality to this barren seabed.
The crew members that Chen Qingsheng followed were all very disappointed.
This small fish is not only worthless, but also extremely flexible and difficult to catch. It seems that their purpose of making money on this trip has been completely defeated.
Since I can't make money, I might as well just have fun.
One by one, the crew members put aside the idea of making money and completely immersed themselves in their own world at the bottom of the sea, swimming freely in this bizarre seabed. For a moment, they found their minds extremely relaxed and they even seemed reluctant to leave.
On the boat, Xiang Yang was talking to Li Chao.
"Mr. Li, you have formed such a yacht team. After a while, I will also form a fishing fleet. The small dock we have now in Qinglongwan is no longer enough." Xiang Yang said in a deep voice.
Li Chao frowned, "Building a new dock is no small matter."
Xiang Yang certainly knew that building a dock was not a trivial matter, otherwise he would have built it himself and would not have needed to discuss it with Li Chao.
Qinglongwan Wharf is deep, and even large ocean-going fishing boats can dock easily. However, there is actually only a small area that can accommodate such large fishing boats. Now with so many yachts, it has become very crowded.
If the Qinglongwan Wharf continues to be used, it may be necessary to dredge the seabed sand around the Qinglongwan Wharf and expand it, but that is also a huge project.
In addition, the land in Qinglongwan is precious nowadays and may become more and more precious in the future. At this time, Xiang Yang is unwilling to spend a lot of money to expand the Qinglongwan Wharf.
Because when Qinglongwan's tourism industry really develops in the future, the pier will definitely have to be relocated. At least, the berthing location for fishing boats will have to be relocated, and at most it will be used as a dedicated pier for yachts.
After all, if it were to be expanded, it would not only occupy tourist land, but fishing boats and cruise ships would be parked together, which would definitely make the Qinglongwan Wharf unsightly.
"For the time being, it's barely enough, but it's already crowded, and most importantly, it's not beautiful enough. We have to consider this matter." Xiang Yang said in a deep voice.
