Chapter 369: Forced to change land

The nets were collected in the morning quite satisfactorily, with only four or five fish being attacked by the green squid after all the gear was collected, and the rest were unharmed. However, in order to be insured, Bei Hai still decided to change the sea area of the operation to get rid of these nasty ghost squid that appeared out of nowhere.

"We will go back to the fishing spot in our central part of the country," Bei Hai sat at the table and said to the people sitting around the table: "There are these squid here, I don't want to risk our income, everyone also saw that the catch on the fishing gear today was gnawed off four or five, and our loss of at least 150,000 yuan is a big fish."

Matt picked up a small piece of beef in front of him and was about to put it in his mouth, and after listening to Bei Hai finish speaking, he put the fork next to the plate: "It's really time to change places, there is not much time left, we shouldn't risk these precious fishing seasons again."

Qi Yiming also nodded: "That's true, this year's catch is much later than in previous years, and we have returned to the port twice at this time last year."

"Well, not to mention anything else, we're afraid that we're a little bit unsure of even exceeding the asterisk this year" Lauren thought for a while and nodded and said, Originally, the annual income of the arrow was a small part more than the asterisk, but this year, I am afraid that the income is not much of an advantage compared to the asterisk, plus now I have met these nasty squid, and it is even more difficult to say what the results will be after the end of the fish season.

Bei Hai said with a smile: "In the past, Asterisk was a swordfish and tuna, of course, the income can't be compared with us, but from this year onwards, don't think too much about the income gap between the two boats will be as big as before." We're just thinking about how to get rid of this green squid."

Frank, Henry, and Jennifer now had an intuitive idea of the income of the Arrow's crew, and they had only heard about it, and they were a little suspicious that it would be exaggerated. People always like to expand the news they get a little bit and then release it. But now that the facts are in front of the people's eyes, these three people can't help but believe that with the fish in the current Arrow cabin, they can catch up with the total income of ordinary fishing boats for several years. No wonder the fishermen wanted to follow the arrows.

The fishermen want to follow, but as a marine biologist, Frank doesn't want to follow, and now that his work is almost done, Frank decides to focus his research on the green squid, not only now, but even if possible, Frank is ready to devote himself to more in-depth research on the green squid, for Bei Hai, the green squid is a nuisance, but for Frank and these people, the new creature means an opportunity to make a name for himself!

"Then please wait until our fishing boat comes back here and picks us up before leaving, do you think it's okay?" Frank pleaded to Behai.

Bei Hai thought for a while and said: "I can only give you two hours, if he doesn't come after two hours, then I have to trouble the three of you to go with us to the new fishing spot, and your fishing boat can pick you up there."

It turned out that the three of Frank had been expected to stay on the Arrow for three days and return to the nearest port to refuel and resupply, but now because of an emergency, the Arrow was leaving this sea area and Frank was going to stay. In this way, there are only two ways, one is to wait for Bei Hai, and the second is for Frank to follow and inform the supplied fishing boats to pick up his own people at the new fishing spot in Bei Hai.

Naturally, Bei Hai didn't want to be the first one, because that would at least waste a few hours of his fishing time, which was enough time for him to put down his fishing gear one more time.

Hearing Bei Hai say this, Frank couldn't help but sigh in his heart, because the fishing boat that was going to pick up him had just sailed out of the port, and it would take at least ten hours to wait for him to get here, and the two hours that Bei Hai gave were the same as not giving them. But even if this is the case, Frank can't say much, because the first condition for his people to come up is not to interfere with the normal operation of the fishing boat.

"Then you don't have to wait, we'll go with you to the new fishing spot, I'll tell the fishing boat the new coordinates by satellite phone later," Frank said with a slick look. After speaking, he couldn't help but whisper again: "I hope these squid haven't left here when we come back."

Frank heard the next sentence Bei Hai heard but didn't care, and said directly to his crew: "Everyone pay attention to rest in the afternoon, because it takes us about fifteen hours to get to the new operation point, and when we arrive, I ask everyone to start throwing the fishing gear into the sea directly, and this time the recovery time is only six hours." This means that each set of gear spends six hours in the sea, and the maximum rest time between you is four and a half hours, including time to eat."

When all the crew members heard Bei Hai say this, their faces couldn't help but become stern. Because everyone knows that since the launch of the Arrow, everyone has followed the strongest labor intensity to the sea, and everyone is about to face it, not to mention that the intensity on the Arrow cannot be compared with before. What is in front of me now is the 100% intensity of work that a normal Granbank fisherman would face.

"We know, we'll go back to the cabin as soon as we're done eating," Matt and the sailors accepted the captain's arrangement after glancing at each other.

This lunch became a mobilization meal. After eating, Henry, Jennifer and Frank were responsible for washing the bowls, while the crew of the Arrow honestly went back to their cabins to rest and wait for the next busy fishing season. Due to the appearance of the green squid, Bei Hai's original desire to unload in Greenland was also in vain, and he had to call Benny temporarily to let the small plane of the Mustang fly to St. Anthony, Newfoundland.

The arrow was speeding on the sea at a speed of twenty knots, and Bei Hai was staying on the bridge with a calculator in his hand, constantly counting how many fishing gears he was throwing this year's catch to reach his inner expectations. Although he is now working at a high load for the crew, Bei Hai knows that people are not machines, and after two or three times, these sailors must have at least seven hours of sleep at a time, and if they continue to work at this high intensity, the probability of danger will increase geometrically. Although he is the boss, this is not the way Bei Hai wants to make money. This is also the reason why Beihai has raised the intensity to the same level as the normal fishing boat operation during the tense period.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just as Bei Hai was thinking about things, he heard a knock on the door behind him.

Bei Huo turned his head and subconsciously said, "Come in!" Then waiting for Bei Hai to see the person clearly, he couldn't help but say a little strangely: "It's you?!" ”。

"I didn't bother you, did I?" The person who pushed the door in was none other than Jennifer, the beautiful girl on the ship.

The reason why Bei Hai is a little strange is because he has talked to Jennifer since he got on the boat, and he has counted all the slaps he has been talking to her. The crew went to Jennifer's side to have some fun, Bei Hai was the captain or a married captain, and Bei Hai didn't have that mind.

Because of this, when I saw Jennifer entering the bridge alone, I couldn't help but feel a little strange, and said: Why don't you go back to the cabin to sleep, why are you here with me? Of course, this is just Bei Hai said in his heart. It's a bit rude to say it directly.

"Can you sit down?" Entering the cabin, Jennifer asked, pointing to the empty co-pilot's chair next to Bei Hai.

"Sit down, don't be so polite" Bei Hai smiled and made a gesture of please, looked at Jennifer and sat down, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you sleep in the cabin so late?" ”。

Jennifer smiled and said, "I got up and walked around when I had a little insomnia today, and when they were all asleep, they saw the lights on the bridge and came here to talk to you for a while, maybe I wanted to sleep again after chatting."

"Oh, your way is quite peculiar, and you can also talk about sleepiness in chat," Bei Hai said with a smile.

Jennifer turned to Bei Hai and asked, "Why do Dominic, they sleep so well, I see them just find a place to fall asleep in less than two minutes, which really makes me envious".

"If you do the same intensity of work as them, you can easily fall asleep," Bei Hai said, taking Qi Yiming's previous events as a small story, and told Jennifer.

"It seems that I really lack physical labor," Jennifer smiled at Bei Hai's words, and then asked some small questions to Bei Hai. It's mostly about why Bei Hai likes fishing.

Hearing such a question, Bei Hai didn't know how to say it, and for the first time, someone asked him in front of him why he liked fishing? After thinking about it for a while, Bei Hai said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I don't know if I like fishing or not, I fish because only doing this thing can make it easy for me to support myself and my family, fishing for me is more just a job, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with whether I like it or not."

Bei Hai believes that if the pendant is suitable for growing food, then he must be a farmer now, and his industry is determined by the function of the pendant, not himself.

"So why are you investing in some marine research? Very few people invest in the industry, and as far as I know, the institute led by Professor Leopold has not been under much pressure in terms of funding, and their working environment is enviable...... "Jennifer said.

Listening to the beautiful girl in front of her say this, her investment in marine research and science and technology, Bei Hai is still a little cool in her heart, originally Bei Hai just wanted to find a pretext to allocate two or three million dollars a year to hire a group of high-IQ cheap labor, to help him tinker here and there.

Originally, it was a matter of selling dog meat with a sheep's head, but who knew that gradually this research company of more than 20 people would be able to maintain a balance every year by relying on patent royalties, although the research was all small columns such as what kind of signalers and the like were not too valuable. However, this situation still made Bei Hai quite happy. As soon as Bei Hai was happy, he didn't allocate less research funds because the institute made money, but still gave so much and took out part of the money he earned as a bonus for everyone, and now these professors and researchers worked harder.

"You know a lot, I'm a fisherman, and I naturally have to contribute to the study of the ocean," Bei Hai said.

"Professor Frank and Professor Leopold are friends. Of course I know that," Jennifer said.

"By the way, in your judgment, these squid are the enemy, what could it be, and where did they come from?" When I talked about it, Bei Hai thought of green squid. Naturally, he asked Jennifer.

"Generally speaking, the natural predator of squid is a sperm whale or a blue whale, so it can be said that whales are the natural predators of squid. But this is the first time I've seen this green squid, but it's still very likely to be a meal for a big whale."

"It's good to have natural enemies!" Bei Hai listened and said.

"You need the big whales to protect you. That way your Arrow can go fishing where it came from," Jennifer joked with a laugh.

"Then I'm going to have a good discussion with the big whales, if these squids come to harass me again, although these things are so big, they are still small compared to whales," Bei Hai said happily.

Jennifer listened to Bei Hai's words and said with a smile: "Where can such squid be considered big, there are squid that have been caught two or three times larger than these squid, but these squid generally live at the bottom ......of the deep sea, and it is indeed a bit abnormal for such a group to emerge in such a swarm."

After listening to it for a while, Bei Hai felt that he understood why this beautiful girl was able to get a doctorate, because when this girl talked about her major, the look in her two big eyes was a little stronger than usual, and Bei seemed to want to keep talking like this. Bei Hai is directly like listening to a free squid knowledge popularization class.

The two chatted for about a while, and the speed of the conversation slowed down, Bei Hai also had to drink some coffee to refresh himself, while Jennifer took a nap, and soon the girl fell asleep directly in the passenger seat. (To be continued......)
