On July 1, Qin Shiou first sorted out the receipts of the season's income and expenses of the fishery and passed them to Anthony White, general manager of Deloitte's Ottawa branch, and then contacted Bill to order Newfoundland kelp seedlings.

June and July are the best times for kelp to emerge, and this is the busiest time for any fishery that wants to grow kelp.

Bill took people to inspect the fishing grounds and selected the waters where kelp was planted.

In the kelp farming process, the selection of the grow-out sea area is the first preparation, followed by the deployment of the breeding raft, and then the kelp seedlings are transported to the farm for temporary seedling raising, and then the seedlings are divided and cultivated, and then they can be harvested.

Kelp has strict requirements for the growing environment, especially the traditional Newfoundland kelp species selected by Qin Shiou, which is also the legendary strain with the best taste and the most nutritious.

"You really don't want to try the North Pacific-North Atlantic hybrid kelp variety? The yield of this kelp is much higher than that of conventional species, and it is easy to increase yields by 400% in the ideal conditions of the real yàn chamber and 250% in the fishery environment. Bill tried hard to convince Qin Shiou to change breeds.

Qin Shiou shook his head and didn't agree, he said: "I only take the high-end route, and the yield of hybrid varieties has increased, but the taste and nutritional value have decreased. ”

Bill explains: "It's not going to drop a lot, and the taste isn't much worse. ”

Qin Shiou said with a smile: "The difference between a famous brand and a street stall is just that little bit, but at that point, some people are willing to pay double or even several times the difference to buy a famous brand." ”

What are you kidding, he has the golden finger of Poseidon energy, and he still has to worry about the production of kelp? See the kelp jungle in the northwest sea of the island. That's a role model.

Bill shrugged, the customer is God. Now that God has made his final decision, it is best for him not to try to change it.

Kelp is very demanding in the growing environment. The first is the substrate, that is, the seabed where it is rooted, with a flat mud bottom and a muddy bottom being the best, followed by a harder sandy bottom, and a thin and soft mud bottom being the worst.

Most of the seabed near Daqin Fishing Ground is rocky reef bottom, which is acceptable, Shak has worked for kelp farms, and is considered a knowledgeable person, said: "Reef seabed." It is difficult for kelp to take root, but as long as it is successful, it is not easy to be pulled out by the sea breeze and waves. ”

The elements to be considered are water depth, kelp is planted in autumn and grows in winter, while offshore waters have the difference between high tide and ebb tide in winter and summer, and the kelp growth environment generally needs to be in the sea area with a water depth of more than 5 meters during the winter dry tide.

In addition, there are water current, wind and wave factors to consider, to check the transparency and nutrient conditions, the best breeding area is the water flow is fast, the flow is large but the wind and waves are small. It is necessary to have good transparency, so that the seawater has good light transmittance, and the kelp can grow quickly.

The nutrient content is mainly checked for nitrogen content, and the standard is more than 150 milligrams per cubic meter. Other oxygen levels and sea salt levels are no problem, and the density of seaweed in the Daqin Fishery is estimated to be the most reasonable in the world's waters, and there will not be so many as red tides and the like. Not a lot, and the oxygen provided is abundant.

As for the sewage situation with the strictest requirements for the growing environment of kelp. This does not need to be checked, and there is no factory on Farewell Island now. Domestic sewage also has a sewage treatment station, which is not directly discharged into the sea.

After the inspection, the seafood analyst brought by Bill sighed: "God, this fishery is really blessed, rich in oxygen, rich in nutrients, and high in sea water transparency, it is simply a golden fishing ground." ”

Qin Shiou said with a smile: "Yes, sooner or later, my fishing grounds will produce gold. ”

It's too early to produce gold, but it's okay to produce silver.

Billy Sturmer of Odyssey Marine Exploration Company called again in the evening, Qin Shiou knew his purpose, so he simply had a showdown with him, and said: "The salvage problem of the Deng's Fish is over, man, I have already fished all the silver on the ship, so if you want to salvage the Deng's Fish with me, then I can only say sorry." ”

Billy was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Congratulations, Qin, can you ask which salvage company you use?" Also, what are you going to do with your silver? Oh, I don't mean anything else, but I think our company has been in this industry for a long time, and maybe some experience will help you. ”

Qin Shiou said: "I used a private salvage team, and the place where the Deng's Fish sank is not deep, but it is relatively hidden." As for the hundred tons of silver, I am sure that I will sell it, and I have not thought of a way to sell it yet. ”

Billy gave him an idea, "Then you have to be careful, Qin, you're a fisherman, aren't you?" Hurry up and transfer the silver to your own fishing grounds. Then don't say that it was fished from the Dun's Fish, just make up a wreck without a name, and finally, you better re-melt and purify the silver plate before selling. ”

Although Billy is speaking in a general way, it is a whole process, and it is clear that people are experts in this area.

Qin Shiou thought about it for a moment and said, "Billy, my fellow, I know that you have always wanted to get the captain's log on the Deng's Fish, so we might as well make a deal, you help me deal with this hundred tons of silver, I can give you a commission, or I can lend you the captain's log." ”

Upon hearing this, Billy was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Qin, it's no problem to help you deal with the silver, I don't need a commission, but I hope you don't lend me that log, but give it to me." ”

Qin Shiou was stunned, a hundred tons of silver, if it is successfully sold, the commission will be at least one million, this Billy doesn't want so much money but only needs a captain's log, what is the reason?

He was vigilant in his heart, although the Yankees always made a big grin, rude and honest appearance, in fact, these bastards were very shrewd.

In this way, Qin Shiou said tentatively: "Man, I don't know what secrets this captain's log has that are worth giving up millions of earnings. But I'd like to warn you in advance, don't expect too much from this log, because it's almost soaked and hard to read. ”

This Billy is a smart person, and he immediately understood what Qin Shiou meant, and explained: "Qin, that captain's logbook is a waste to anyone, it has no archaeological value, and it does not hide any treasure information. ”

After a pause, he added, "But, that log is useful for our company, because our company is in a lawsuit with the damn Dutch government!" So, I'll go to St. John's next week and talk to you about silver and logs, okay? ”

There's nothing that can't be done, Qin Shiou promised to come down, anyway, this is his territory.

After making an appointment, Qin Shiou hung up the phone, and the Poseidon consciousness entered the ocean.

This time, he went to see the yellowfin tuna rhubarb first, well, this guy is very obedient, accompanied his cuckold wife to wander slowly in the algae jungle area, and a few sea pythons accompanied him to serve as bodyguards around - Qin Shiou didn't want him to go to the sea one day to see that the yellowfin tuna couple had fallen into the stomach of a shark.

Then he was about to control the big bluefin tuna to go for a walk in the deep sea, but as soon as the sea god's consciousness shifted, there was a shadow on the boss's head!

Day, what's going on? It was the first time Qin Shiou encountered this kind of thing, but fortunately, he heard the roar of the steamer's motor later, and then he realized that there was a big fishing boat above his head.

Around the big bluefin tuna, there are many pieces of herring that have been cut neatly, apparently artificially.

In other words, the people on the fishing grounds have already spotted the big blue and are cutting the fish segment to lure it into the bait! (To be continued.)
