Chapter 268: Twice the catch
"Of course, we will also compensate you for your help. ”
Willy glanced around everyone present, and then said, "In terms of policies and taxes, we will give you great preferences. At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of sailing at sea during special periods, we will send guards from the coast defense team to protect you along the way when you are fishing in the ocean. ”
When everyone present heard this, they did not appear to be happy.
Because they all knew very well that Baron Willy did not say the crux of the problem.
Baron Willy, how many resources do you want to take from the hands of yourself and others?
"Lord Baron......"
Just when everyone was worried, Livizo hesitated for a moment and asked Willy, "Excuse me, how many fishing resources do we need to come up with to help White Bear Town expand the granary?"
When she said this, Livizo was stubborn.
Although she knew that Willy was a benevolent lord, she was still a little worried that Willy would screw her head off.
"This is really the key ...... of this consultation"
Willy nodded, no anger on his face.
"I hope that I can get 50% of the resources from your fishing fleet. ”
Willy pondered for a moment, then said his thoughts, and he looked at a few people: "Everyone, do you have any opinions? ”
Fifty out of ......
When Willy said it, several people present showed a trace of embarrassment.
Fifty percent, which is indeed not a small percentage.
Although the fishing of these large fishing fleets is more stable than that of individual fishing, and there is basically a harvest every time, this does not guarantee that they can afford this fifty percent of the commission every time they harvest.
Because when you go out to sea, there is a cost for large fishing fleets.
Crew salaries, wear and tear maintenance of the ship, and bereavement benefits for injured or accidental crew members, etc.
After deducting these, if you are lucky, the catch is very large, and the net profit of a large fishing fleet can be 70%. In addition, under normal circumstances, there are also 40% to 50%, even if the luck is worse, there can be a net profit of 20% or 30%.
Therefore, relying on these, the operation of large fishing fleets is relatively stable.
But if fifty percent is siphoned off......
Then when you are lucky, you will live with one or two percent of the net profit, and if you are unlucky, you will even lose money.
That's a lot of weight.
The few people present all set their eyes on Joblin, who was the leader of the people present.
In the face of such a harsh request from the Baron, they could only rely on Joblin to continue the discussion with the Baron.
If you can say that you can move the Baron, it will naturally be great, if the Baron is unmoved, then the fishing fleet of himself and others may really have to give up.
Joblin naturally sensed everyone's gaze, and for a while, he also had trouble fidgeting.
Joblin was thinking about how to speak, when he heard Willy speak suddenly.
"I've learned about the operations of large fishing fleets, so it might be hard for you to accept that 50 percent is a percentage. ”
Wiley seemed to have anticipated: "After all, this level may be beyond the scope of your cost operation." ”
As soon as Willy's words came out, several people present nodded as if they were chickens pecking rice, and it was great that Lord Baron could know this.
I only hope that the Baron will change his tune and lower his standards.
"Fifty percent is a lot, but if everyone's total catch output doubles, is this fifty percent more?"
Willy uttered something that surprised everyone.
Doubling production?
It's simply impossible.
Several people present, even the youngest Livizo, were veterans who had been drifting in the wind and waves of the ocean for more than ten years.
They are well aware that if the total catch is doubled, it may not happen once a year, and it may take two or three years to encounter such a grand event.
So what Baron Willy said, everyone's first feeling was absurd.
But for the sake of the baron's face, no one dared to say this.
"Maybe people don't believe me......"
Willy saw the reaction of the crowd, and he was not angry.
However, Joblin hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said: "Lord Baron, it's not that everyone doesn't believe your words, but everyone's fishing level is indeed very limited, and the fishing skills are defective. ”
Joblin's words were obviously afraid of hurting Willy's face.
"Hmm......"
Willy shook his head and stood up.
"Someone!"
Willy suddenly shouted outside the door.
Willy's voice directly startled everyone present.
Lord Baron saw that he and the others were not actively cooperating, so he was going to do it?
The hearts of several people suddenly cooled.
Although Baron Willy has a good reputation, he is also a lord.
"Lord Baron. ”
Soon, two Coast Guard guards in armor and weapons walked in.
"Are all the fishing boats you asked you to prepare?"
Willy asked.
"It's ready, Lord Baron. We rented a small idle fishing fleet and are now docked at the pier. ”
The guard replied respectfully to Willy.
Preparing a small fishing fleet?
A few people who originally thought that a catastrophe was coming, but their hearts were confused again.
"Let's go, guys, go fishing in the sea. ”
Willy's words deepened the doubts of several people again.
Catch fish?
For a moment, several people present couldn't figure out Baron Willy's thoughts.
"Maybe only if you see it with your own eyes can you believe that I can double your catch. ”
Velli walked out of the room first.
The rest of the people looked at each other.
The Baron is going to prove all this......
But if the Baron didn't do it after a while, wouldn't it be a slap in the face, and the Baron was slapped in the face, and in the end, it was not himself and others who would have to bear the anger......
"Keep up. ”
Joblin couldn't figure out Baron Willy's intentions, so he could only greet everyone and follow.
Soon, led by the guards, several people came to the shore.
On the shore pier, two medium-sized boats were parked, as well as five small boats.
The hull of the ship is already mottled, and it is clear that it has experienced a lot of wind and waves.
The helmsmen of the large fishing fleet behind Willy can see that this is the standard configuration of the small fishing fleet in White Bear Town.
"Joblin, in general, how many fish can a fleet of this size catch?"
Willy asked Joblin beside him.
Joblin thought for a moment and replied honestly: "Generally speaking, a fishing boat of this size will not go to sea very far, and the manpower is limited, so it cannot guarantee a long time to go to sea, so a fishing trip can basically have a harvest of five tons, which is considered qualified." ”
Willy nodded when he heard this.
Normally, he also estimated this amount.
This is not a previous life, in a previous life, some large fishing boats could catch hundreds or even thousands of tons of fish at full storage, which was really terrifying.
"In that case, let's get on board together. ”
Willy commanded, and then rubbed his chin: "Half a day, we caught ten tons in half a day." ”
Velli stepped onto the deck first.
The few people behind him sighed secretly, and they all followed closely.
They only hope now that in half a day, Baron Willy will be able to deal with the result calmly.
"Ready to sail. ”
As soon as Willy gave the order, the ship still moved.
"Uncle Joblin, I seem to have found a problem......"
Livizo came to Joblin's side, looked at Willy's back, and whispered to Joblin: "The crew of this ship seems to be inexperienced coastal defense members, and their fishing skills should be very unqualified......
Not only Livizo, but Joblin also discovered the problem.
He exhaled deeply and glanced cautiously at Willy's back: "Shut your mouth and don't talk more." ”
Livizo pursed her lips, no matter what, she would not believe that this fishing fleet could catch ten tons of marine fish in half a day.
Unless the ship has encountered schools of fish along the way since the beginning of the voyage.
Encountering schools of fish along the way, this is simply not possible.
Even if you can look down from the sky like a seabird, you can't do that, because there are some small schools of fish, and the way they swim is the most obvious thing for large fish, and these large fishing fleets have suffered this kind of loss many times.
Even experienced fishing birds can't do it to this extent.
"Twenty nautical miles to the southeast, then get your fishing tools ready and ready to go!"
Just when the helmsmen of the fishing boat were not convinced, on the deck, a crew member who looked like a leader suddenly shouted.
