Chapter 267: Prepare Before Going to Sea!
Seeing Ye Luo's helpless face, Dast cautiously said to him: "Boss, as far as I know, Newfoundland is going to have a small party, not only to celebrate the investment of so much money in your fishing farm, but also to make a huge contribution to the local economy of Newfoundland......"
At this time, Ziye Luo was completely collapsed: "Go to his uncle's, it's my own business to build a fishing farm." What does it have to do with these people? Quick, you guys give me a solution. I have to clean up for a while!"
Renison said casually: "What's so difficult about this, isn't this about to enter January? The whole of Hawaii will open the hunt for black tuna and yellowfin tuna in January every year, we have a tuna fishing license, originally we had a tuna fishing boat, but now there is another one, why don't we just drive two boats and go directly to the sea to fish for tuna?"
Dast nodded in agreement, and said: "Boss, this is a good idea, the catch of the fishing ground must be produced, at least next year, you can't just invest in it this year, tuna fishing is a good way to make money, a black tuna is less than six or seven thousand, more than tens of thousands, if we go out, luck meets a school of fish, and it is not good to make a trip to make hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands." ”
That's right.
He's been a fisherman for a long time.
Ye Luo's eyes lit up, indeed, you can't fish in your own fishing ground, you can go to other waters to fish.
It's a good idea to go fishing for black tuna, also known as bluefin tuna, not to make much money, but to see if he can 'seduce' tuna to his fishing grounds, so that his fishing grounds don't have to worry about not having tuna fishing in the future.
Bluefin tuna are hard to come by if they are not in a specific location, and this fish has a peculiar way of breathing, they do not have the ability to breathe actively, and they need to rely on the current through their gills to absorb oxygen from the water.
As a result, they have to swim constantly in the ocean, and they have to swim high, otherwise they will cause hypoxic suffocation.
No one knows where in the depths of the ocean bluefin tuna will appear, but there are a few areas where bluefin tuna live in more waters, because of the food bait that tuna likes, and these waters have become a battleground for anglers every year.
Ye Luo felt that this proposal was desirable, so he had to plan how to implement it.
He looked at the boats on his dock and thought to himself, it's time to take the initiative, you can't just spend money and not make money.
Although hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars are just like that for him, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat.
Even if he doesn't like it, he can give them a bonus, which will definitely make them more grateful to themselves.
Although he disdained to buy people's hearts with money, Darst was so important to the fishing grounds that letting one go would be a great loss for him, and he would naturally do everything he could to keep them.
After returning home, Ye Luo told Scarlett and the others about his thoughts, and planned to take Dast and the others out fishing for a few days.
Knowing his plan, Scarlett expressed her support and told him that she could handle the affairs on the island, and let him go out fishing with confidence.
Originally, Xia Xiaofei and others were going to follow, but thinking of the company's current situation, they regretted giving up the idea of peers.
Ye Luo also comforted them for this, and when the company's affairs were solved in the future, they would be specially brought with them at that time, anyway, everyone lives on the island now.
Xia Xiaofei and the other women were persuaded by Ye Luo at once, mainly because they all knew that even if they followed, they would not be able to help, and they might even help, so it was better to do what they had to do.
The intimacy of Scarlett and Xia Xiaofei and other women made Ye Luo less talkative, so that he could relax and prepare to go fishing.
However, there is another question that plagues Ye Luo, that is, where to hunt tuna?
It is well established that the four major black tuna hunting meccas are Visney Bay, Whale Point Bay, Bart Shoal and Rofe Bay.
Among them, Vesney Bay is within Hawaii, Whale Point Bay is in the United States, Bad Shoal belongs to Canada, and the Raffe Islands belong to the high seas.
The so-called high seas refers to the internal waters, territorial seas, archipelagic waters and parts of the sea outside the exclusive economic zones of each country that are not subject to the sovereign jurisdiction and domination of any State. Note that the territorial sea (generally 12 nautical miles) and the high seas are subordinated to the exclusive economic zone (up to 200 nautical miles).
For example, the central part of the Miyako Strait is an exclusive economic zone (an international shipping lane, where other countries have the right of free navigation and can pass through without harm, and to the western Pacific Ocean it is quickly on the high seas.
The high seas are shared by all States on an equal footing.
It is not part of the territory of any State and is therefore not subject to the sovereignty of any State, and no State may appropriate any part of the high seas as its own or exercise jurisdiction over the high seas themselves.
Therefore, the Raffy Islands, which are the four major black tuna hunting meccas, are also the most populated places, perhaps because they are not under the jurisdiction of any country, resulting in conflicts between people from different countries when catching tuna every year.
As for where to go, it becomes a difficult problem.
......
No matter where you go tuna fishing, you need a fishing license.
Most countries with territorial waters will basically control fishing licenses, so as to protect hunting tuna, and there are many fishing licenses in each country, such as primary fishing licenses, intermediate fishing licenses, advanced fishing licenses, river fishing licenses, sea fishing licenses, etc.
For tuna fishing, what is required is the highest level of rare economic fish sea fishing license, and to apply for this certificate, the applicant needs to have at least five years of fishing experience in Shanghai, which is accumulated from the ordinary fishing license.
The aim is to avoid overfishing of tuna and to prevent some amateur anglers from going out to sea in pursuit of profit.
It's a pity that Ye Luo doesn't meet the application conditions, so he can only let Dast and Thomas go out, this kind of sea fishing license is time-sensitive, at least one week, up to four weeks, after this time, you have to go back to handle it again
。
The next day, Ye Luo followed Daxter and Thomas to the place where Newfoundland applied for documents.
Because it is about to come to the time period for hunting black tuna, so there are many people who apply for documents, when it is the turn of the two of Durst, Dast handles the rare economic fish sea fishing license from February 1st to February 28th, and Thomas is from March 1st to March 28th, although they may not be able to fish for so long, but be prepared.
Holding two blue plastic documents similar to driver's licenses, Daxter shrugged at Ye Luo and said, "Oh, boss, you see, this is the evil fruit of human beings, when I was young, you could do whatever you wanted to fish for tuna, and you can catch as much as you want." ”
"At that time, there were tuna in the Bay of Visa, and no one bought them in Hawaii, so we had to go home and feed the cats and dogs. Who would have thought that this kind of fish could now be sold for hundreds or even thousands of dollars a pound?!"
"There is no buying and selling, there is no killing. ”
Ye Luo sighed as if he had seen through everything: "With the improvement of people's economic level, they are becoming more and more particular about the food they eat, if no one eats it, then naturally no one will hunt, maybe it is someone who is sought after, which will lead to a lot of things that no one was willing to eat before, and the value of it has increased hundreds of times all of a sudden." ”
"That's true, I haven't seen a tuna in more than a decade anyway, let alone hunting. Daxter nodded with a hint of feeling.
Thomas nodded in agreement.
Ye Luo smiled: "Okay, let's go back." ”
......
When she got home, Scarlett asked, "Are you sure where to go fishing?"
Ye Luo nodded and told Scarlett his thoughts: "Go to Rofe Bay." ”
Both Daxter and Thomas suggested that Leaf Fall choose the fishing spot in Venice Bay, which is in Hawaii and closer to the fishing grounds.
In this way, it can save fuel and save trouble.
In addition, everyone is Hawaiian, so it is easy to deal with any conflicts.
The Bay of Rofe is different, it's on the high seas, and there are several clashes between fishermen from all over the world who fish for tuna there every year.
Ye Luo chose to go to Rofe Bay for his own considerations, that is, Rofe Bay is the largest of the four tuna hunting mecca, and the other three holy sites together are less than a third of it.
In particular, the bay of Roffe is also close to Venice Bay, another tuna fishing mecca, so if the harvest in the bay of Raffe is not good, you can move to Venice Bay.
After all, the former is on the high seas, while the latter belongs to Hawaii, and as for the two places of Butt Shoal in Canada and Whale Point Bay in the United States, Ye Luo did not take into account.
The main reason is that the two places are too far away from Hawaii, if it is okay to take a plane, it will take two or three days to arrive, but if you can take a boat, it will be as little as ten days and half a month, and at most more than a month, so it is naturally impossible for him to waste all his time on the road.
What's more, the fishermen of these two countries are not friendly to the fishermen outside, and there are several conflicts almost every year, leading more and more people to choose to go to the high seas of Rofe Bay.
Although there are many conflicts in Rofe Bay every day, at least when there is a conflict, he can fight back, unlike the United States and Canada, which can only passively withstand each other's attacks and dare not resist.
Because once you resist, it won't be as simple as one-on-one at that time, and the onlookers around you will definitely take action.
Do you dare to fight back on our turf, do you really think we are vegetarians?
If there is one of the four fishing meccas where there is the least dispute, it is undoubtedly Venice Bay, and although Hawaii still treats foreign fishermen differently from local fishermen, it is at least not as obvious as the other two countries.
After making a decision, Ye Luo didn't need to explain, because he was the boss, and Daxter and Thomas and others just had to do what they were told.
It's about to enter January, and Ye Luo and the others, who have already decided to go fishing in Luofei Bay, naturally don't need to prepare in advance, there is still a month enough for them to prepare.
Besides, the distance from the fishing ground to Rofe Bay is only a week at most, so there is no need to rush at all.
If you go to two other places, then Ye Luo and the others will definitely have to apply for short-term visas.
The short-term visa is a convenient visa set up for better exchanges, tourism, economy and trade in general relations between countries, and can be used for a short period of time between the two countries.
As for how short the time is, no one cares, it's just a statement, some people use this kind of visa to travel back and forth between the two countries for a long time.
Of course, if it's the kind of country that has a particularly good relationship, both sides will grant each other visa-free (mutual.
Visa-free, i.e. no visa is required to travel from one country or region to another. Stays range from 7 days to 6 months. Usually bilateral.
Visa exemption is usually bilateral, and citizens of both sides are free to enter and leave each other's borders with valid passports.
Visa on arrival, i.e. no visa is required to travel from one country to another, but an entry permit needs to be applied for at the arrival airport, which is usually unilateral.
Visas, that is, visas are required to travel from one country to another, and are divided into easy visas and tightened visa policies due to diplomatic relations and people-to-people exchanges between countries.
With the continuous development of international relations and tourism in various countries, in order to facilitate friendly exchanges between citizens of various countries, the visa systems of many countries are becoming more and more simplified.
Citizens of certain countries of the other side are also not required to obtain visas when entering and leaving the country, as many countries have entered into mutual visa exemption agreements.
Even between the countries of the European Community, a citizen of a country can travel freely between countries with proof of identity without the need for a passport or a visa.
Mutual visa exemption is an agreement between the countries concerned that allows all or certain categories of citizens of both countries
Visa-free entry, exit or passage through the other party's borders with documents acceptable to both sides. Mutual visa exemption embodies the principle of reciprocity between countries.
The visa waiver agreement is only applicable to holders of certain types of passports as agreed by both parties.
Persons entering the territory of one of the Contracting Parties under the mutual visa exemption agreement do not mean that they may remain or reside in the territory of one of the Contracting Parties indefinitely.
According to the requirements of the mutual visa waiver agreement, only a stay of no more than 30 calendar days is generally allowed.
If you need to stay for more than 30 calendar days, you should apply for residence in the local area as soon as possible.
Of course, there is also a kind of transit visa exemption in the visa exemption.
The visa-free transit policy for foreigners is one of the elements of the visa-free system implemented by countries around the world.
To put it simply, it refers to the policy that foreign nationals can transit through a transit country to a third country without applying for a visa for the transit country in accordance with the laws or relevant regulations of the transit country, and can stay in the transit country for a short time.
On the high seas, they also have to pass through the territorial waters of one or two surrounding countries on the way, but these countries have a good relationship with Hawaii, and they don't need visas to travel with each other, so they naturally don't need to apply for visas.
However, the ship rewarded by the government did not have a name, and Ye Luo had no choice but to register his name with the Ship Statistics Bureau and named it the Blue Fish.
And the tuna fishing boat he was buying before was called the Goldfish.
Both boats specialize in bluefin tuna, so Ye Luo simply took the name from the tuna.
Although there were still more than 20 days to go fishing, Darst specially asked Rock Hudson to help overhaul the two boats, and tried out GPS, radio, crane, sonar fish finder and other equipment to ensure that there would be no problems after the boat went to sea.
Thomas, for his part, filled both boats with diesel fuel and fresh water. Then ten cubic meters of diesel fuel were stockpiled in the hold of the larger Goldfish.
As for fresh water, there is no need for additional reserves, as the Goldfish have desalination machines, and as long as there is enough diesel, they will not run out of water.
Despite this, Ye Luo still bought ten barrels of pure water to store on the Blue Fish, there is no doubt that the desalinated seawater will not be very clean after all, and it is good to use it for bathing. As for drinking water and water for cooking, purified water is better.
In addition to Renison, there were also Sith, Shanna, and Amy, and as for Karn, Lore, Winnie, and Eliello, they naturally let them stay on the island, on the one hand, to protect the safety of the islanders, and on the other hand, to prevent anyone from trespassing.
The task of the four of them is to prepare weapons, and I have to say that they are experts in this area, and they quickly modified the bridge of both ships. SIG-556, Remington, AR-15, Bonelli M1, USP, M1911 are all hidden inside.
It is a felony to carry a weapon into or out of the country, but it is not a serious matter at sea.
Fishermen from all over the world go out to the sea to fish, who doesn't bring weapons?
Gun control regulations are strict in countries around the world.
However, people do not buy guns to keep at home, but to protect themselves.
Ye Luo did not have a deep understanding of this aspect, but Dast was deeply touched, he explained: "If we have a conflict with people from other countries, the specific punishment is determined by the Coast Guard, and what we have to do is to live until the Coast Guard arrives." ”
After the inspection of the boats, there was plenty of water and oil, and the meat, vegetables, and fruits that they ate were not immediately replenished.
After all, there are still more than twenty days before they start fishing, and if they replenish the food now, they will definitely not be able to eat those ingredients when they are about to set off.
He can spend money lavishly, but when it comes to food, he never wastes it!
......
Ye Luo thought that if he went fishing, he would not see his baby girl for nearly two months, and in the days of waiting, he was basically with his daughter every day, but the little guy was so happy that he didn't go to play with her little friends.
Scarlett and Xia Xiaofei are also reluctant, and they do everything they can every night to squeeze the leaves dry.
Originally, a few of them were not Ye Luo's opponents, but after more Kailin Sina and a few of them, Ye Luo was almost unable to fight.
For the sake of her own face, Ye Luo had to try her best to satisfy every woman, and as a result, Scarlett and her sisters became more and more radiant after being moisturized by Ye Luo every night.
It's just that the leaves are falling, and the first thing I do when I wake up every day is to hold on to my old waist, and my feet are trembling when I leave the room.
The days passed, and soon the day before the departure came.
The ship had been inspected more than twenty days ago, but for the sake of his own safety, Ye Luo still asked Rock Hudson to come again, and there was no problem.
As for water and oil, there is no need to store them, the only thing needed is to replenish meat, vegetables and fruits.
As for the meat, he asked Dust to go to Newfoundland to buy a lot of it, a small part of which he and the others would eat on the ship, and the rest for the people on the island.
The various vegetables and fruits produced at home are even more essential, and there is no need for Dast and others to tell themselves, Ye Luo himself has already prepared them.
Almost every one of them carried hundreds of pounds, stuffed the freezers on both ships to the brim, and even gave up some of the meat.
Anyone who has ever been to the sea knows that you don't have to worry about not being able to eat meat on the sea, and you can eat fresh fish every day, but it is different for vegetables and fruits.
Generally, people who go out to sea to fish, if they have a long time, will basically prepare a lot of vegetables and fruits, so as to supplement the various vitamins and minerals that the human body needs every day, as for protein, you can get it from the fish, otherwise you can also get it from the various meats you bring.
Everything is ready, all that's left is to go out fishing......
