(Thank you Su Zhou for the quick decision of 3500 starting coins for the reward, thank you for the 500 starting coins for your daddy!)

In the next few days, after eating breakfast every morning, Shuichi Minamino went back to the coast for a stroll, and by the way, checked the movements of peony shrimp, king crab, etc. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the fifth day, he tragically found that half of the peony shrimp had hung up, either eaten by the fish or died at the bottom of the sea, and were killed by other crabs and fish. A week passed, and in the end there were more than 400 peony shrimp left. By this time, their survival numbers had finally stabilized, and they no longer continued to die.

"I hope this batch of peony shrimp can survive, and then continue to work hard to make shrimp and produce more peony shrimp. Shuichi Minamino prayed in his heart.

As for the survivability of king crabs, hairy crabs, flower crabs, etc., it is not covered, at least a week has passed, and most of them are still alive. Due to the large number of plankton and small fish and shrimp in the North Bay Fishing Grounds, they all eat with their mouths full of oil, and they either eat enough to rest or play every day, and they live freely.

It was late February, late February in 1951. Unconsciously, Shuichi Minamino went from 50 years to 51 years. In the past six months, Hokkaido's fishing industry has developed much better than before. With the arrival of many foreign-funded fishing companies, the fishing industry, which was originally a pool of stagnant water, has injected some vitality.

Shuichi Minamino knew that in the coming years, Hokkaido's fishing industry would definitely grow rapidly, and by the 60s, it would enter a golden age of fishing. In the 70s, it will be a year of decline, because in the 70s, the fishery resources in Hokkaido's fishing grounds will be greatly reduced.

He vaguely remembered that the Newfoundland Fishery, one of the four largest fisheries in the world, died out because of the heavy fishing in the fifties and sixties!

Newfoundland Fishery: Formed by the confluence of the Gulf Stream and the cold Labrador Current. It used to be one of the four largest fishing grounds in the world, but after centuries of unbridled fishing, especially after large mechanized trawlers began to operate in the fishing grounds in the fifties and sixties of the twentieth century, the Newfoundland fishing grounds gradually disappeared and were no longer visible after the nineties. The Newfoundland Fishing Grounds of later generations are history!

However, the Hokkaido fishing grounds, which are the first of the four major fishing grounds in the world, have not died out in later generations, but they are still very scarce, and they are all supported by the proximity to marine aquaculture and deep-sea fishing.

Speaking of large mechanized trawlers, they began to be used in the early fifties, and by the mid-to-late fifties, they began to be used in large quantities. By the sixties, almost every fishing fleet was equipped. The reason why the 60s was the golden decade of distant-water fishing was the use of these large, mechanized fishing vessels, which maximized the catch of more fish.

For example, the fishing team under the name of the US Imperial Ocean Fishing Company is now equipped with large trawlers, and even advanced vertical fish search devices are used.

The use of such advanced equipment is currently only affordable for fishing teams under the name of such a deep-pocketed fishing company.

"Looks like I'm going to buy a couple of big trawlers as well. Minamino thought to himself. Now he found that the tonnage of 2, 3 hundred tons of fishing boats could no longer meet his ability to play. First of all, the fishing speed is slow, the fishing area is small, and the tonnage of the fish loaded is also small. Like the last time he went tuna fishing near the equator in the Pacific Ocean, if it weren't for a few transport ships to help transport the tuna back, it is estimated that he would not have been able to complete such a task.

For example, if you only have a few fishing boats to go out to sea to fish and hire transport ships to help transport fish, the cost is too high to row. Only those who have more than a few dozen fishing boats going out to sea to fish will choose to hire such professional transport ships to help haul the goods.

The cost of a professional fishing vessel can be quite significant. And ordinary cargo carriers are not compared. Fishing carriers must be equipped with large refrigerated warehouses, and the cost of sailing to sea is several times higher than that of ordinary cargo ships!

"This time I'm going to order at least two large 500-tonnage trawlers!" said Shuichi Minamino, who had already planned. He now has more than 10 million yen left, and he only needs to leave a few million yuan to work on the canning tuna processing plant. The remaining 10 million will be used to buy fishing boats!

"The 500-tonnage trawler in this year should be considered first-class, unlike the trawler of thousands or thousands of tons at every turn!"

He remembers that in his previous life, his city was also a coastal city, and the whole city was developed by fishing. The city's largest fishing company owns a 7,764-tonnage super-large trawler. Even if it is placed in the whole country, it is a large fishing boat with a ranking!

At the beginning, many news reported on this fishing boat, because this fishing boat made money every time it came back from ocean fishing, which made people blush and crazy!

According to reports at the time, this large trawl processing ship 'Shuguang', with a gross tonnage of 7,765 tons, a total length of 120.7 meters, a width of 19 meters, a depth of 12.22 meters, and a main engine power of 5,300kw, has a daily processing capacity of 200 tons, filling the gap in the city's large-scale trawl processing ship project for ocean fishing!

The ship was built in Germany and purchased from the United Kingdom and has the capacity to catch krill and icefish in Antarctica. The Dawn was the only distant-water fishing vessel in the city with the ability to fish in Antarctica at that time, and was one of the five largest distant-water fishing vessels in Asia.

When fishing, it lowers a giant fishing net with a circumference of 1,440 meters, and two giant steel supports weighing 4.8 tons prop up the net to form an oval net mouth 120 meters wide and 60 meters high, and trawls on the seabed!

The nets are harvested by 8 to 10 people at the same time, and after the nets are removed, they are operated by machinery. Due to the extremely strong wind resistance of the "Aurora", even if there is a gale force 10 at sea, the "Aurora" can operate as usual, and at this time it will reap the greatest benefits.

At that time, Minamino Shuichi didn't know about fishing boats, but he just thought it was awesome, but when he traveled to this era and came into contact with the fishing industry, he realized that this Dawning fishing boat was simply a fish harvester!

As long as you encounter a school of fish, the fish will not want to run! Once the 120-meter-long width and 60-meter-high fishing net is gone, those fish will be caught in the trawl net without any chance of escaping.

Shuichi Minamino felt that if he had the ability in the future, he would definitely buy this kind of large-tonnage fishing boat, and it would not be a problem to cross the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and the Antarctic Ocean!

The next day, Shuichi Minamino went to the Kaneto Sea Boat Manufacturing Company in Nemuro City, where the seven fishing boats he had previously customized were estimated to be delivered in a few months!

When Sakurako Sakai saw Shuichi Minamino, her face was resentful, and her big watery eyes were full of flattery.

"Nanno-kun, you haven't come to me for four or five months. In the VIP reception room, Sakurako Sakai personally handed a cup of hot coffee to Shuichi Minamino. Then he sat beside Shuichi Minamino and snorted like an exhaler.

"Hehe, I'm not here now!" Nanno Shuichi took a sip of coffee and looked at Sakurako's career line in Sakai, and secretly said that this girl is really a stunner.

"Minamino-kun, the seven fishing boats you ordered last time will all be delivered in about 3 months!"

"Okay, I got it!" Three months later, he was going to pay the rest of the seven fishing boats. With his current financial resources, it would be paid off in minutes. Even if he wants to continue to buy fishing boats, then he will buy them depending on the situation. Besides, he still needs ten kilograms of gold that has not yet been sold. The ten kilograms of gold were used to pay for the seven fishing boats. Your own 10 million yen will be used to buy a new fishing boat!

"Minamino-kun, did you want to continue buying fishing boats this time?" Sakurako Sakai asked in a coquettish voice. As she spoke, she deliberately leaned towards Shuichi Minamino, and the smell of perfume on her body filled his nostrils. She knew that Shuichi Minamino had not been famous in the Nemuro fishing port recently, so she would be even richer at this time.

"Yes, do you have a 500-ton trawler here, preferably mechanized!" asked Shuichi Minamino.

"A 500-tonnage trawler?" Sakurako Sakai's eyes widened and she gasped. Apparently she was also frightened by this tonnage. In recent years, the 300-tonnage fishing boats in Nemuro Fishing Port are all large fishing boats!

"Yes, do you have it in your company, if there is a ready-made one, it is the best!" said Shuichi Minamino.

"I'm sorry Minamino-kun, let's not talk about ready-made here, even if we make an order, we don't have the ability to make a large trawler of 500 tonnage. We are currently able to manufacture up to 400 tonnage. Sakurako Sakai said regretfully.

"That's it!" said Nagano Hide, who was a little disappointed when he heard this. The company was the largest shipyard in Nemuro's generation, but it did not have the capacity to build a 500-tonnage trawler.

"Minamino-kun, I believe that there are not many shipyards in the whole of Hokkaido that can manufacture fishing boats of this tonnage. Unless you go to Honshu, only the shipyards in Honshu have the ability to do so!" Sakurako Sakai began.

The island nation consists of four major islands: Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Hokkaido, as well as numerous smaller islands. Among them, the heavy industry is in Honshu-Shikoku and Kyushu. Hokkaido was still a relatively backward place in this era.

"It's too far over there!" Shuichi Minamino was a little depressed.

"You can also choose to go to foreign shipyards and ask them, foreign shipyards are generally good. It seems that Hokkaido has two foreign shipyards. One is in Sapporo and one is in Hakodate. Sakurako Sakai suggested.

"Foreign shipyards?" Minamino Shuichi frowned, this can be considered. It would be great if there was a live ship. I'm in a hurry to use it.

During this time, the tuna canning factory was under normal construction and was already on track, and he didn't need to manage it much. His staff were able to help him with most of his problems. (To be continued.) )
