When Brad was picked up by helicopter onto the Ozette, the Ozette was already in the target area.

There's a lot to look at in this sea area.

Brad had already investigated some of the conditions in the sea area. For example, the biological population of the sea area, the water quality of the sea area, and so on. But Brad wanted to know exactly what was going on at the bottom of the ocean. He had to grasp the depth of the water, the currents at the bottom of the sea, and so on.

Brad's chartered fishing boat had not been able to get that information, but the Ozette could provide it for him.

The Ozette is equipped with advanced sonar that creates a topographic map of the seabed. At the same time, it can also collect information such as the flow of water under water.

It didn't take much analysis to analyze the data, and Brand only had to look at it to know if the sea area was what they needed.

The bridge of the Ozette is spacious, but there are usually only three people inside. On this ship, Laurel Magee is the chief executive, and Link is his immediate superior. Link will not interfere with his command, but can command him.

The captain's mission was to control the Ozette to cruise back and forth in the sea and collect the data Brad wanted.

Brad was still looking at the data, and from time to time he asked Laurel Magee to get more complete data on the entire sea area.

There are fishing boats around the vicinity of Ozette. There are also a number of yachts that go out to sea on weekends. Perhaps because it was the first time to visit the Ozette, the yachts would occasionally come closer to observe. However, that will not affect the voyage of the Ozette.

Link stood by the porthole and saw Claire and his two female companions frolicking in the pool at the front of the upper deck. But what he really cares about is Hannah.

Although the speed of the Ozette is not very high right now, the wind is definitely strong. Hannah is also in the pool now, and she is playing in the water. She was wearing a children's swim ring, and with Tiger watching, he wasn't worried that something would happen to her.

He was worried that yes, Hannah would catch a cold if the wind blew after coming out of the water.

"Ozette, this is the Coast Guard XXX, report your situation! Repeat this is the Coast Guard XXX, please report your situation!"

Link heard the words coming out of the walkie-talkie and looked back at Laurel Magee.

Laurel Magee immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "This is the Ozette." I'm Captain Laurel Magee. I'm fine!" he repeated again, finally speaking. “Over！”

"We found out that you were sailing back and forth in the same sea area, and some fishing boats complained that you were interfering with their operations. ”

Laurel Magee took one look at Link and said, "We're working. And as far as we know, this sea area is a protected area, not an open public area. Mr. Link Hans, the owner of the Ozette, has obtained permission from the owners of this sea area to learn about the situation in this sea area. So there is no possibility for us to interfere with the operations of fishing vessels. ”

The Coast Guard, of course, knew that it was not public water, and it was easy for them to find out that the Ozette had indeed been allowed to do so in the area.

While it may seem strange to patrol the waters on a yacht, that's not something the Coast Guard has to deal with.

The Coast Guard informed the complaining fishing vessel, the Blackmouth Albatross, of the results of the investigation and proposed: "That's a protected area, and you'd better go to the area." ”

When the captain of the Black-Billed Albatross received the notice, he scolded himself and said, "Visiting the ocean on a yacht? He thinks his yacht is a research ship, and why doesn't he wander around the waters of his house?"

Fishermen on the West Coast know that Link Hans has his own waters. It is very rich in fish, perhaps the richest coastal marine life in the entire West Coast. In particular, the gooseneck barnacles produced there are even more famous in the United States. It is said that they sell directly to those restaurants for more than a hundred dollars per pound. It was a money grab, and the other fishermen were always very jealous.

How could these fishermen not be angry when Link drove a superyacht and came to this area to disturb their fishing operations.

But they can't help it when they get angry. They can't get angry and entangle with Link. Link has money, and the fishermen of them may be missing a minute to get nothing, and they may also have gas money. They didn't have that American time to entangle with Link.

It's just that they are very angry in their hearts.

This area was once home to some kelp. Although the giant algae did not grow into the distance afforestation, some of them did. The sparse kelp makes the catch in this area the highest in the vicinity.

Now that there is a big ship sailing fast on the sea, the fish are also disturbed by the sound of the water, which also makes it difficult for them to catch fish.

The fishermen's complaints, of course, Link will not take to heart. However, the Coast Guard's inquiry also forced him to consider a problem. He found that there were at least twenty fishing boats in the nearby waters.

He said to Brad, who was still analyzing the data, "Brad, is this area a traditional fishing area?"

Brad listened to his question, and immediately understood what he thought, and explained: "Of course not, in fact there were no marine animals worth catching in this area. It's just that in one year they planted the algae, although the growth of the algae was as expected. However, the small amount of macroalgae that grows on the seafloor still has an impact on the remains, causing the water to flow up and down. That makes the fish population more abundant. Later, they did not harvest, and the area was left unmanaged, and fishing boats operated here at will. He thought for a moment, giving an example. "But you don't have to worry about the opposition of the fishermen here if you plant the kelp. The cultivation of macroalgae in the waters of Ozette has increased the production of commercial fish at least fivefold. So growing kelp here will only increase the number of marine animals in the nearby seas, not make fishermen lose their jobs. ”

Link was worried about that. If this was once a public fishing area and they rented it, the fishermen would have a very bad impression of Xihua and him. There might even be some disputes, and he didn't feel like it was a hassle for him to have that time to deal with them now.

In addition, the public impression of a company and an entrepreneur is also very important.

"How long will it take you to be sure that this sea area is usable?"

"It's already possible. However, I would like to have more clarity. That's a very good idea for us to put in the kelp seedlings. ”

The Ozette sailed another lap on the route Brad had requested, and finally got all the undersea topography data he wanted. And the Ozette can no longer disturb the fishing boats. And he and Link were able to leave the bridge.

Link and he came down from Cambridge and went straight to the upper deck.

Link listened to him talk about some of the plans for the project. After listening to this, he said, "If there is something that is not a problem, it is better." ”

"Of course there will be some problems. Brad said. "The closest place to the factory is sixteen nautical miles, which is quite a long way. If a harvesting vessel is used in the Ozete Sea area, it can be transported for more than an hour at a time, which is very inefficient. So I'm thinking about whether we specialize in the production of a few transport ships. Harvesting vessels harvest the algae in the sea area, and the collected algae is brought back by large transport vessels. It's a little more efficient. ”

Link thought that the area of this sea area was larger than that of Ozet, and the efficiency of the harvest was really important: "You prepare first. If needed, we build new ships. ”

Brad thinks Link is good at that. As long as it is a reasonable suggestion, he will never object to it because it needs to cost more money.

Link asked him again, "Is it possible for us to promote the algae?" For example, we provide seedlings and promise to recycle the products at a certain price. ”

Brad didn't even think about saying, "We need to think about the market. ”

Link certainly knows the supply relationship. However, the extracts of macroalgae are not only used in pharmaceuticals, but also in chemical and food processing. If the production capacity is large enough, the cost can be reduced. Maybe he can build a new marine industry.

He paused and said, "The market needs to be developed. We can't just stare at pharmaceuticals. Like chemicals and food, it should also be a market that we need to explore. ”

"That's true, it's just that every time we enter an industry, we're competitors. We can't distract ourselves yet. ”

"I'm just mentioning my opinion. Link listened to him and said that he couldn't expand blindly just yet. In other words, Brad already has that kind of long-term plan. As long as that's the case. "You really don't stay to play?"

Brad's job is over, and he hopes to return to shore soon. Although it is the weekend, he can still sign a contract with the other party, and after signing the acquisition agreement, he can return to Huazhou for follow-up work: "Thank you." But still no. I still have a lot of work to do. ”

Since he insisted on leaving too, Link was not reluctant.

After putting Brad on the helicopter, he walked to the pool in front of him. By this time, the Ozette had already begun to turn, and they were about to sail south to the deep sea. The water there is clearer and warmer.

Hannah was the first to see him coming, and she shouted from afar, "Daddy, you can come down and play in the water too!"

Link saw that she was still soaked in the water, and he remembered that she had been in the water for at least an hour. He stood on the edge of the pool and smiled at her, "Did Hannah learn to swim?"

"Learned. Hannah said twice, but she picked up the water man for a while and the man was still in place.

Link laughed and said, "Come on, Hannah come up first, let's drink some juice!"

Although the water basically maintains a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, it is not good for children to soak in it for a long time.

"Hey, Link, why don't you come and play for a while?"

Claire and two women are in the massage area at the front of the pool. They seemed to have a good conversation. Claire swam over as she spoke, pushing Hannah, who had struggled in the water for a while but still hadn't been able to reach the shore, to the shore.

Link said to him with a smile as he helped his daughter dry herself, "You guys play." I'll play with Hannah for a while. We are now going to sail out to sea. Today we will spend a day in the open sea, and tomorrow after noon, we will go to San Francisco. ”

"Maybe in the open sea, we can catch a big fish. ”

"You've got two hot mermaids, do you still have time to fish?"

The two women wore bikinis, which really made the yacht more like a yacht. He really didn't want to get too close to the two women, though.

He's a normal man. And he had to admit that the two women were very hot. Too close, he was afraid that he would make a mistake.

He's not the same as Claire. Although he is not yet married, he already considers himself a family man. Everything that could have been avoided has been avoided.
