Xiang Yang thought about it and said, "How about we organize an event?"
"What activity?" Zhang Qicheng asked.
Xiang Yang thought carefully for a while, then said: "E-commerce is so developed now. You are a wholesaler, so have you never sold anything online?"
Zhang Qicheng shook his head. "I'm in the aquatic product business. My business is different from other agricultural products. First, the price of aquatic products is generally higher than that of agricultural products. Second, although more and more boats have been launched in recent years, the overall marine fishery resources are depleted, so the actual output of various seafood has not increased."
When Xiang Yang heard this, he immediately understood what Zhang Qicheng meant. Seafood is actually a seller's market at the moment, and the seafood market is in a situation of supply exceeding demand.
"I don't know what the specific activities are, but we absolutely cannot just sit there and wait for death." Xiang Yang said.
"Well, I'm also trying to find a solution. Other shareholders of the Binhai Hotel are also trying to find a solution. Longcheng has also held a meeting to study it. Mr. Li has even moved directly to Qinglongwan. We must think of a solution." Zhang Qicheng nodded.
"Don't think about it too much for now. Let's go to the sea first and take a look." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Zhang Qicheng nodded, and the two of them boarded a three-decker yacht together, and then each found a sun lounger to lie down on.
The captain of the yacht immediately ran over and asked respectfully: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Xiang, is the boat going to sail?"
Zhang Qicheng nodded. "Why would we come up here if we're not sailing? But don't go too far. Just sail nearby and come back before dinner."
The captain immediately ran over to start the boat, and then the crew came over and placed various fruit snacks for Xiang Yang and Zhang Qicheng, and opened a bottle of red wine and poured it for the two of them.
The yacht cut through the waves and sailed away with the wind. Xiang Yang lay on the sun lounger and took a small sip of the red wine.
Inside the center, Xiang Yang was a little annoyed. If these yachts made money, Xiang Yang would be able to get a considerable amount of money every month. But now these cruise ships have been in a loss-making state, and Xiang Yang has to pay money out of his pocket every month.
After thinking for a while, Xiang Yang stood up and walked to the front of the yacht deck, wanting to feel the sea breeze to clear his mind.
Zhang Qicheng also smiled and walked to Xiang Yang's side, "Some things can't be done in a hurry. Don't be in a hurry now. These are just initial investments. As long as you make money in the future, you will immediately make a lot of money."
Xiang Yang nodded. Suddenly, a strange look flashed across his face. “Huh.”
"What's wrong?" Zhang Qicheng asked.
Xiang Yang pointed to the sea and said, "Boss Zhang, look at the sea."
Zhang Qicheng immediately lowered his head and looked towards the sea.
On the sea surface, large amounts of algae were visible to the naked eye.
Zhang Qicheng's face changed. "How come there are so many seaweeds? And they seem to be Sargassum."
Seaweed is the main food of marine fish. It is also a very delicious food for humans and can be used as medicine.
However, the large amount of algae visible to the naked eye on the sea surface is sometimes not a good thing for local residents.
Many people have a dream of the sea, especially those who live in inland areas.
People who have not seen the sea for many years have a stronger desire for it.
But there are some magical seas that have the clearest waters, but no ship dares to approach them.
The most famous of these is the Sargasso Sea.
The Sargasso Sea is located in the eastern North American sea area in the center of the North Atlantic circulation. It is one thousand nautical miles wide and two thousand nautical miles long.
Generally speaking, the transparency of water in tropical waters is only 50 meters, while the transparency of the Sargasso Sea can reach 60 to 70 meters.
This is equivalent to standing at a height of more than 20 floors and still being able to see the ground clearly. It is very magical.
The reason why the Sargasso Sea is so clear is that there is no wind in this sea area all year round. The entire sea water is extremely calm. Without wind, the suspended matter in the sea water drops quickly and can remain for a long time.
In addition, the nutrients in the water are renewed extremely slowly, and those plankton can basically not survive, which is why the transparency is so high.
Such a beautiful area must have a lot of tourists every year, right
The result was just the opposite. Not only was no one willing to travel to the Sargasso Sea, no ship even dared to enter that sea.
The Sargasso Sea has a series of terrifying names such as the Graveyard of the Ocean and the Sea of Magic Algae.
These names are actually related to a kind of seaweed called Sargassum.
Temperate oceans are ideal for the growth of algae such as Sargassum.
Therefore, once Sargassum appears, it will reproduce rapidly.
Xiang Yang looked at the water surface. The algae visible to the naked eye on the sea surface were the legendary Sargassum. These Sargassums were floating so domineeringly in the Qinglong Bend in the form of large rafts.
"This is indeed Sargassum. If left unchecked, it won't be long before it will wantonly take the nutrients it needs from the sea water and continue to spread by dividing, eventually forming a thick layer of seaweed on the sea water, making it look like the Sargasso Sea." Xiang Yang said softly.
Once the Sargassum is allowed to form large sheets of seaweed, many ships in the Qinglongwan waters will be trapped by these seaweeds.
Of course, no matter how much these Sargassum seaweeds grow, they cannot trap Xiang Yang's ocean-going fishing boat. In the face of the steel torrent, no matter how powerful the plants are, there is a limit.
But the most amazing thing about Sargassum is that it doesn't stay in one place forever.
Once someone encountered a large area of Sargassum at sea, but soon after, the Sargassum disappeared without a trace.
It’s amazing to think about the seaweed that can float freely.
"The appearance of these things should be related to the depletion of fishery resources in Qinglongwan. In the past, when the fishery resources in Qinglongwan were abundant, these Sargassum were the favorite food of many small fish and plankton. But now that the fishery resources are not abundant, and without the consumption of marine life, their numbers are becoming more and more." Zhang Qicheng said.
Xiang Yang nodded, "Mr. Zhang is right."
In the past few decades, although the fishery resources in Qinglongwan have become less and less day by day, overall, due to the difficulty of fishing, the fish resources on the seabed of Qinglongwan have not actually decreased significantly.
Although all the sea fish have been caught by the fishermen in Qinglongwan, the crabs, lobsters and other creatures living on the seabed are the marine creatures that love to eat algae the most.
Now, with the popularization of diving equipment, villagers catch a large number of marine creatures such as crabs and lobsters on the seabed. These Sargassums seem to have been unsealed and are growing in large quantities.
"The massive reproduction of Sargassum is not actually a bad thing for Qinglongwan, but it cannot be completely ignored," said Xiang Yang.
