Next chapter
Su Ming had asked Lao Gu to release the news before that he was buying all kinds of rare fish, so the fishermen who caught the saury used the radio to notify Lao Gu as soon as possible.
Fishermen carry radios with them when they go out of the boat, so that they can communicate with each other, and if there is any danger to the boat, they can also call for help from the surrounding fishing boats in the shortest possible time, and they can also use it to chat.
The radios on each ship were kept on a public channel, and when I heard that someone had caught a saury, the whole channel was filled with jubilant and congratulatory cheers.
"Who's so lucky?"
"Listen to the sound, it's Uncle Liao's boat!"
"It's been the third day since I've been here, and I haven't seen a single swordfish hair!"
"Twelve are more than five pounds, obediently, that one is more than four taels! The current price is two or three thousand pounds, Lao Liao, your net is more than 10,000, developed! ”
"I said it yesterday, fortunately I didn't let those cooks kill the overlord turtle, and the river god Niangniang really blessed it today! My catch is also good, I hit more than 400 catties in the morning......"
"Lao Gu, do you accept it or not, give me a word! If you don't accept it, I'll take two thousand five pounds! Some fishermen simply couldn't wait to ask.
Saury is one of the four fresh fish in the Yangtze River, in recent years has not been able to form a large-scale fish news, the output is very scarce, bad luck fishermen, the whole season may not be able to catch one, with the different seasons, the price of saury will have relatively large fluctuations, expensive when four or five thousand, cheap when only more than a hundred.
However, in the past two years, there has been news that the state will soon make the saury a ban on fishing, in other words, it may not be able to eat legal wild saury in the future. Therefore, the price of wild Yangtze River saury has risen particularly high this year, and the price of about one or two saury is above 1,000, which is basically one tael of fish. The price is more than 1,000, and after four or five taels, the price is even more upside.
The saury fish is smaller. It can grow to four taels is already a big fish, and a saury of less than seven taels was caught in Huayin County the year before last. Known as the king of the swordfish, it is said that it was sold for 60,000 yuan in the end.
Lao Gu looked at Su Ming, Su Ming nodded hurriedly, and said loudly into the radio intercom: "Lao Liao, right, I'm Mr. Su from Yangchuan City, I want your net knifefish, and I will give it to you according to 3,000 yuan a catty, do you think it will be done?" ”
A voice mixed with Jiang Feng immediately came from the other end of the radio: "Oh. It's Mr. Su, hello, hello, we met at Lao Gu's house yesterday! If you want it, you don't have to say it, I'll keep it for you. I weighed, a total of five catties and two taels, five catties! ”
"Okay, thank you!" Su Ming smiled and continued to the radio: "Everyone, I asked Lao Gu to collect the fish, did you catch any fish?" I have a reservoir. Buy it and take it back to raise. ”
As soon as Su Ming made such a public acquisition, the radio suddenly became lively.
"About 50 catties of Wutang snakehead......"
"I have forty or fifty catties of yellow croaker here, will Mr. Su accept it?"
"Big silver carp. And fathead fish ......"
"Do you want a yellow eel? Really back, it's been morning, and only one yellow eel can still see people, and the rest are small trash fish. But it's not small, it's almost three pounds! "I don't know if the fisherman was unlucky, or if the yellow eel was unlucky, hiding in a hole on the shore, and was caught up inexplicably.
The three-pound wild yellow eel is really rare. Su Ming laughed: "Come on, I want the yellow eel." "The yellow eel that can grow so big is a special case. I don't expect to raise it, buy it and try it.
There was a long time on the radio. About 30 fishing boats from Huayin County in the river have reported their catches, and it sounds like the harvest is okay, with an average of three or four hundred catties of fish per family. Su Ming chose several species with more economic value, such as saury, black pond snakehead and yellow croaker.
As he was talking, someone suddenly shouted excitedly: "White sturgeon! The river god Mother blesses, two white sturgeons! Obediently, it's almost a meter long! Mr. Su, do you accept it?! ”
Su Ming was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "You guys are too bold, the white sturgeon dares to sell it publicly!" National first-class protected animals, beware of being caught and imprisoned! ”
Both the white sturgeon and the Chinese sturgeon are close relatives of the sturgeon, but their appearance is very different. The Chinese sturgeon's snout, or mouth, is a bit flattened, while the white sturgeon is commonly known as elephant fish, swordfish, lyrefish, etc., with a long fusiform body and a long sword-like snout, and the long snout can even account for one-third of the total body length.
Sturgeon have a common characteristic, that is, they are large, and the white sturgeon is the best among them, almost the largest freshwater fish, the largest, can grow to seven or eight meters long, and the white shark is about the same size. And this guy has a fierce temperament, most of the body surface is covered by hard bone plate armor, and the long fish snout is not too much to describe as a 'sharp sword', and a hard hit in the water can poke a big hole in a small wooden fishing boat.
The value of white sturgeon is very high, and the caviar made of white sturgeon roe is the most expensive caviar in the world, and one kilogram can be as high as five or six thousand dollars in the national market.
However, like the wild Chinese sturgeon and Chinese alligator, the white sturgeon is a national protected animal, endangered, and is not allowed to be bought and killed privately.
"What should we do, Mr. Su, we have already fished it out?" The voice on the other end of the radio said.
What to do? Isn't this, if you fish it out, can't you put it back in the water? Su Ming smiled, and the other party was obviously a little unwilling.
Comparing his heart to his heart, Su Ming can also understand that this is like picking up a piece of gold and suddenly telling him that he wants to hand it over to the state, and he can't bear anyone else, not to mention that people live by fishing.
"Well, you leave the two fish on the boat for protection."
"Is there a reward?" Asked over there.
Everyone was laughing on the radio, Su Ming also smiled, and said generously: "Don't worry, I'll help you ask the relevant departments for rewards, I don't dare to say more, twenty or thirty thousand is still okay!" ”
"That's great, I'll give them up like ancestors!" The fisherman who caught the white sturgeon laughed.
If the state does not give a dime reward, maybe the fishermen will take the risk of secretly selling the two white sturgeon for more than 100,000 yuan, but since there can be a reward of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, there is no need to risk imprisonment to sell national first-class protected animals.
Su Ming hung up the radio and hurriedly called Liang Shi, but before the phone could be dialed, he stopped.
"Are you wondering how to get those two white sturgeons to be raised in the zoo?" Zhao Yun saw through Su Ming's thoughts at a glance on the side.
Zhao Yun's guess is not bad at all, the protection of the white sturgeon is the first place, but the specific protection of which family can be considered. Su Ming is now the director of the zoo, and his ass decides his head, of course he wants to fight for more resources for the zoo.
Su Ming thought for more than ten seconds and made a decision, first of all, he still had to protect the white sturgeon, as for who the flowers would be, and then he would slowly talk to Professor Chu, it was really not good, and the trick of the finless porpoise would be used again. The routine is not afraid of getting old, it works.
"What?! White sturgeon, or two? A meter-long adult white sturgeon?! On the other end of the phone, Liang Shi's excited voice exploded.
Su Ming held the phone a little farther away from his head before saying, "What is your name, I'm not deaf!" ”
"Brother Su, you don't know, I haven't found a wild white sturgeon for several years, and there is only one white sturgeon left in the conservation center, if you can't find one that can be mated, even the white sturgeon will be extinct! God forbid, God forbid! Professor Chu is next door, don't hang up the phone, I'll go tell him the good news now......"
Half a minute later, Professor Chu's voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Xiao Su, I'm Professor Chu!" Liang Shi is unclear, you tell me the specific situation again! ”
Su Ming could only repeat it again.
"Good, good, good! That's great! Professor Chu said five good words in a row, and added a short sentence of exclamation, which seemed to be not enough to express his joy, and said happily and urgently: "This Xiao Su, you must protect these two white sturgeons, I will bring someone here now, and I will be there in the afternoon!" You must protect those two sturgeons, and I will give you credit! ”
"Professor Chu, I can't rob other people's credit, it was caught by fishermen in Huayin County, but I told them to give a reward of 50,000 yuan!" Su Ming deliberately doubled the promised bonus upwards.
Lao Chu, this person, can't say that he slammed the door, it is really that the research and protection funds allocated by the above are too small, and the last time the finless porpoise family of three, in the end, the above allocated a bonus of 100,000 yuan, or to several units. Su Ming quoted a high price, which was to give Lao Chu a room for bargaining.
Unexpectedly, Lao Chu agreed without hesitation this time: "Okay!" If you don't give it above, I can pay for it personally! Don't say it, I'll rush to Huayin County now, you must protect it! ”
"Understood." Su Ming hung up the phone and made another call to Director Song, who is now in the provincial capital, and Liang Shi and them are attending the 'Baiji Dolphin Memorial Service'.
After Lao Song retired, his temper became older and stronger, and when he heard about this situation, he said: "What 50,000 yuan!" The zoo is out of 100,000, Xiao Su, you are also a leader now, and you are more courageous! The aquarium in our zoo is still empty, I came over with Lao Chu, and talked to him about it on the way, why do you find good things, you have to give them the provincial capital, our zoo is not unconditional! Anyway, you protect the two fish first! ”
"Yes, the leader has your words, I know it in my heart!" Su Ming said.
After confirming the bonus, Su Ming spoke on the radio again: "The reward I helped you arrive, 50,000 guaranteed." I'm going to come to your boat right now and see the two white sturgeons. ”
He hadn't seen a live sturgeon himself, so he was curious.
"Lao Shen, you sent it this time, and the harvest of the year is gone!"
"Tut-tut, Mr. Su, next time we catch a first-class protected fish, can we also apply for a bonus?" Someone asked.
"Okay, no problem!"
Su Ming was about to ask Lao Gu to drive the boat, approaching the fishing boat of Lao Shen's family, when he saw that behind the sand mining boat in the distance, two speedboats suddenly rushed out, bringing a large splash on the river, and the soldiers were divided into two ways.
The speed of the speedboat was amazing, and Lao Gu's fishing boat had just turned around, but in two minutes, the speedboat had already reached the two fishing boats in Huayin County, and several people on the speedboat jumped onto the fishing boat.
"Huh? Isn't that Lao Liao and Lao Shen's boat? What are the people of the sand mining ship doing with them? Su Ming was stunned. Lao Liao caught a knifefish, and Lao Shen caught a white sturgeon.
"It's broken!" Lao Gu patted his head, "The radio public channel is not encrypted, and the boats on the river can receive it!" (To be continued.) )
