"Brother Peng, there are so many species of whales in the Caribbean, how many species of whales have you seen?" Sun Pengcheng sighed, he was photographing a group of melon-headed dolphins, also known as melon-headed whales, which are a small whale of the genus Pilot Whale. It is very similar to the pilot whale, but it is less than half the size of the pilot whale and is more than two meters long.

Xiao Peng lay there playing a game, and said without raising his head: "The unique geographical location and climate environment of the Caribbean Sea have led to at least half of the species of whales being able to find traces here, so it was indeed a whale watching resort, but in recent years, more and more problems have been exposed." For example, there are many island countries in the Eastern Caribbean, in fact, most of the countries there have a tradition of whaling, and people come to whale watching with great interest, but what they see is whaling, which is embarrassing. For example, there is a country called Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, don't look at that country, it is only more than 40 square kilometers, the size of two thousand miles of rocks, but the per capita GDP of people is higher than that of our country, that is, relying on whale watching tourism, the result is good, some people are trying their best to develop whale watching tourism, while local residents are trying their best to catch whales and dolphins. ”

Sun Pengcheng was puzzled and asked, "Whaling is not allowed in this Caribbean region, right?"

Xiao Peng replied: "In the name of preserving the traditional livelihoods of the indigenous peoples, the country has applied to the International Whaling Commission for a hunting quota of four bigfin whales a year, but they have ignored this rule and caught hundreds of dolphins and whales a year. The speedboats and whaling equipment they use are sponsored by the Wa state, which also needs their vote in favor of the International Whaling Commission and permission to resume commercial whaling. So public whaling over there has become a matter of turning a blind eye. ”

After hearing this, Sun Pengcheng said indignantly: "This is another ghost of the Wa State! How can so many countries still support the whaling of the Wa State?"

Yang Meng laughed after listening to this: "Why don't you be so dung? Lao Tzu is also disgusted with whaling in the Wa Kingdom, and we also cleaned up the whaling ships in the Wa Kingdom back then, but there is one thing you have to make clear, our country also supports the whaling of the Wa Kingdom!"

"What?" Sun Pengcheng's eyes widened: "Mengzi, you're kidding me, right?"

Yang Meng said vaguely while holding a cigar: "In the past ten years, the International Whaling Commission has voted in favor of whaling. ”

Sun Pengcheng looked back at Xiao Peng: "Brother Peng, what Mengzi said is really false?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "Well, it's unfortunate, what he said is indeed true." ”

Sun Pengcheng was stunned: "How can this be?"

Xiao Peng smiled: "Don't be so excited, our country supports scientific fishing, and opposes the fishing of those endangered whale species." ”

Sun Pengcheng frowned and said, "But that's also whaling." Why should our country support these things?"

Xiao Peng put the game console aside and lit a cigar: "How to say this thing, you must first understand one thing, that is, most of our country's oceans are continental shelf seas, so whales are not very common in our country's waters." There is no whaling tradition in our country. Therefore, whether this support supports whaling or not is not directly related to our country. ”

Sun Pengcheng nodded: "I can understand this matter." Then we don't hunt whales, and we can't support other people's whaling, right?"

Xiao Peng took a puff of his cigar and thought for a while and said, "According to my analysis, there should be two reasons here. The first reason is that there are fewer and fewer fish in the world, and the amount of whales that eat too much is too large, and the number of fish needs to be controlled to protect the fish. Our modern fishery pays attention to 'catching the big and letting go of the small' and suspending fishing during the breeding period of economic fish, so as to protect the sustainability of marine fishery resources, while whales are just the opposite, which is to drive small fish together first and then concentrate on encirclement and suppression, and the small fish are almost completely wiped out everywhere they go. ”

Sun Pengcheng was puzzled: "It turns out that there is no whaling, and the whales have not eaten all the fish, right?"

Xiao Peng smiled bitterly: "Don't you say how low the fishing ability of the original people is? What about now? Dozens of tons of fish are down in one net! Originally, there was no condition for storage, and the fish caught smelled after two days, but now? There is a place to store as many fish as you catch. Therefore, in the final analysis, whales have to give way to humans. ”

Sun Pengcheng nodded after hearing this: "What about the second reason?"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "The conflict of interests." Countries like Australia and Brazil are strongly opposed to whaling because of the hot climate, the abundance of marine fisheries, the attraction of whales of all kinds, and the whale watching program can bring them a lot of money every year. In the words of the head of IFAW Latin America, 'A whale alive is worth more than a dead whale'. And our country has no whaling history and culture anyway, and there is no place for whale watching, and this whaling can also ensure the yield of the fishery. So if it's supported, it's supported. However, it is not blindly supported, for example, the proposal of the Japanese country to try to carry out commercial trade in whale meat and downgrade the endangered cetacean species is strongly opposed by our country. ”

Sun Pengcheng scratched his head when he heard this: "But I see that you are doing a good job in whale watching tourism there." ”

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "That's because I can afford to raise them! If there were no abundant fish in my fishing grounds, how could Sidao Town keep so many whales? If there was no food, the whales would have run away long ago! Our Sidao Town has a special situation, so we have stopped fishing in the coastal waters and developed aquaculture and tourism. Believe it or not, if the whales in the town of Four Islands had caused losses to the farmers, they would have started whale hunting, regardless of how much economic development those dolphins and whales brought to the local tourism industry. Even if you don't kill them if you know it's illegal, you'll drive them away. When you don't hurt your own interests, it's hello, I'm good, everyone, and when you hurt your own interests, you're selfish. This is human nature, everyone on earth is like this------ so am I. ”

Sun Pengcheng smiled: "You are so rich, don't you have to contract all the sea areas of your town?"

Xiao Peng shook his head: "I thought about doing this, and I asked Wen Jie to help me contact him, but do you know how long the coastline of Sidao Town is? And the most important thing is that these seas have been contracted by people! Do you know what kind of price those breeding areas along the coast have been speculated upon? The contract fee for a piece of sea is several million, and a 700-horsepower boat deed is 3 million yuan, and now I want to buy it? That one by one is to sit on the ground and start at the price, and double it on the basis of this price! No matter how rich I am, I can't afford to let people be slaughtered as pigs!"

"Ship deed?" Sun Pengcheng was puzzled.

Xiao Peng smiled: "Do you think you can go to sea if you have the money to build a big ship? The state has requirements for distant-water fishing vessels, and the power of the fishing vessel must have a quota, that is, a ship contract, and it is impossible to go to sea without a ship contract. This is done to control the number of fishing vessels. If there were no such regulations, would you believe that the number of fishing boats in our country would be more than five times that of the current one? Now one horsepower is about 4,000 horsepower, and the price is still rising, and a similar ship will cost six or seven hundred horsepower, like our Vladimir, with two 770 horsepower engines, you can calculate for yourself how much it costs to have a bareboat deed. ”

Sun Pengcheng blinked: "I'll go, Brother Peng, you're too rich, right?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "The same is true for those who have boats and those who cover the sea." It's a lot of money to sell it casually. ”

Sun Pengcheng said with a smile: "Brother Peng, I understand why you have so many boats parked there, but only this 'Vladimir' is used for ocean fishing, it turns out that it is the reason for the ship deed!"

"Huh?" Xiao Peng shook his head after hearing this: "No, no, no, no, you really said it wrong, I just didn't bother to come out." After speaking, he pouted to Mengzi: "With this guy here, I don't worry about it at all." He settled everything. ”

Sun Pengcheng looked at Yang Meng: "Brother Peng, isn't your big housekeeper Lao Pan?

Yang Meng glared at Sun Pengcheng after hearing this: "What do you mean kid, look down on me?"

Sun Pengcheng blinked: "Mengzi, how dare I look down on you, you are definitely the captain of the Qianliyan Security Brigade, the nuclear weapons of Qianliyan, any demons and monsters will take a detour when they see you." The first rule of Qianliyan Island is that Yang Meng will never be used first------- lethality is too great. ”

Yang Meng scratched his head: "I'll go, why don't I hear this as if I'm praising me?"

"Why isn't it praising you? It's praising you for being brave and invincible!" Sun Pengcheng hurriedly said.

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "You underestimate the fierce son too much, why do I dare to play around with confidence and boldness? Why is Qianliyan so prosperous now? Do you think it is possible for me to do it alone? I'll tell you this, you see that those chickens, sheep, pigs, etc. in Qianliyan were all brought by Mengzi, and he also went to get the "Rare Animal Breeding Permit" we have there. As for the ship deed, he also handled it. ”

After hearing this, Sun Pengcheng asked Yang Meng curiously, "How did you do it?"

Yang Meng said proudly: "Once, Xiao Peng and I went to the South China Sea, that is, when we found the treasure of Zheng Shi's family, when we returned to the island, we caught a lot of poaching boats, I wanted to hack these boats at that time, right? ”

"How much did you take?" asked Sun Pengcheng.

"Thirty-eight thousand horsepower!" Yang Meng was shocked: "We have almost exhausted the rations over there." ”

Sun Pengcheng was taken aback when he heard this: "Why are you collecting so much?"

"Oh, I was stupid at the time, isn't our country's most advanced 055 drive only 38,000 horsepower? As a result, I later figured out that people use diesel boiler engines, and our fishing boats are all diesel engines, so it is useless to make such a large ration. So now a bunch of deeds on the island are useless. Yang Meng said lightly.

After hearing this, Sun Pengcheng scolded the street: ", it's useless for you to make more than 70 million yuan this time?
