Chapter 280: Ambition

Chen Yuan intended to win over Zhou Jianguo.

Zhou Jianguo also has his own thoughts and wants to have a good relationship with Chen Yuan.

That's what, the old prostitute encountered......

Chen Yuan and Zhou Jianguo both laughed.

The fishing boat came to the shallow sea area on the leeward side of Xiaomajin Island, and after stopping steadily, Chen Yuan took out the hot pot base and some spices, and began to fry the bottom of the pot.

Zhou Sheng took a leg of lamb and some vegetables out.

The lamb is frozen hard, and with a long knife for cutting tuna, it is easy to cut out slices of mutton.

Lin Xinhai: They are also talking about the tuna industry of up to 7 billion US dollars.

The $7 billion tuna industry, Chen Yuan and they are also involved. It's a huge piece of cake, and even a small bite is enough to make a lot of money.

"The ceiling for longliners is too low." Zhou Jianguo said: "If it is a purse seine ship, if it is done well, then the profit will be high."

"We used to think about buying purse seine boats, but it didn't seem easy to get into the fishing PNA." Lin Xinhai said.

Zhou Jianguo nodded: "The tuna purse seine vessels approved to enter the PNA in China have not exceeded double digits so far. It's not easy for tuna purse seineers to get into the PNA, especially for domestic tuna purse seineers."

The specific data Zhou Jianguo is not clear.

However, in the past, Palau agreed that there were only four domestic tuna purse seine vessels that were approved for fishing. It was also after years of negotiations that the Dongjiang fishery was able to obtain three purse seine vessels, all of which were within 50 meters.

Purse seine boats are charged differently depending on the length of the boat. The charges are not the same, and the specifications of the purse seine are also different.

The larger the boat, the larger the purse seine nets that can be used.

Tuna purse seine boats want to fish PNA, it's too difficult.

Longline fishing boats are relatively much more relaxed.

"Come to our office when the fishing season is over." Lin Xinhai looked at Zhou Jianguo: "The treatment is definitely better than that of Dongjiang fishery in all aspects."

Zhou Jianguo nodded with a smile and looked at Chen Yuan: "Okay. Before, Chen Yuan said that he wanted to build a large tuna purse seine boat, the kind of eight or ninety meters."

Lin Xinhai also looked at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan was frying spices and said, "If you want to make it bigger, the ocean-going tuna purse seine ship has its own processing workshop, and it is best to have an ultra-low temperature refrigeration capacity of more than 2,500 tons. Such a boat, go to sea and come back with a full load, beautiful."

"With such a big ship, the cost of a trip to sea is not low." Lin Xinhai said.

"How much do you have to invest in the early stage to build a big ship?" Takaga came interested and asked.

"Tens of millions of dollars were invested in the early stage. Large tuna purse seine boats are custom-made at the shipyard, with a down payment of twenty or thirty percent, which is almost enough. Coupled with the decoration and the like, if you can take out 60 million in the early stage, you can have a world-class tuna purse seine boat." "However, it is necessary to apply for a marine fishing license and put the fishing vessel into operation...... It will cost at least 20 million."

The 76-meter tuna purse seine ship has equipment close to the world's first-class level, about 180 million.

Then a 100-meter tuna purse seine boat costs at least 300 million yuan.

Gao He rubbed his cheeks, smiled, and said, "If you build a large tuna purse seine, can you count me as a share?"

Lin Xinhai looked at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan smiled, "If Master has no opinion, I have no opinion. But now the big tuna purse seine boats feel too risky."

Zhou Jianguo waved his hand and said, "The tuna purse seine boat is going to be big now. The ship is large, the main engine power is large, and the cabin capacity is also large. Driftwood and electric buoys are now prohibited on the high seas, so ......."

"It's forbidden, though. But on the high seas, there are still a lot of people who do this." Chen Yuan said.

"The norms come step by step. In a few years, the regulation of the high seas will also increase......" Zhou Jianguo said: "When all these are standardized, the tuna purse seine boats within 50 meters will have nothing to do."

Chen Yuan didn't react at once, and waited for Zhou Jianguo to explain, then he understood.

driftwood,

Electric buoys, also known as fish collectors.

On the high seas, fishing is very difficult without the use of fish collectors.

It is conducive to fish gatherer fishing, which belongs to the driftwood fish. This was banned a few years ago. That is, some exclusive economic zones can use fish collectors in a bright and bright way.

For example, PNA, but there is a charge for these fish collection devices.

If the regulations on high seas fishing become more complete in the future, it will depend mainly on the strength of domestic regulations.

It is foreseeable that domestic supervision in this regard will become more and more intense in the future. Then this indicates that in the future, tuna purse seine boats can only chase water fish, that is, floating fish.

Then it is very necessary to use helicopters to detect fish and powerful radar. In this way, the tuna purse seine must be large enough.

Chen Yuan fried the hot pot base, heated the water, and then went back to the cabin to wake He Fei and them.

"Do you want to work?" He Fei is now in a daze, and he feels that he has not been asleep for a while.

Yang Xun looked at the time, it was only past eleven o'clock, but he still lifted the quilt and got up.

"If you don't live, get up and eat hot pot." Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Hurry up."

"Okay."

Yang Xun was dozed off with no water in an instant, and quickly got up.

Chen Yuan left the bedroom with a smile and came to the single room (now the utility room) and hugged a case of beer.

When he came outside, Chen Yuan opened the beer and listened to it one by one.

There is an induction cooker on the table, which has not yet boiled.

Zhou Sheng opened the beer and took a sip, pointing to the mutton in the basin: "Is it enough?"

"It should be enough, if it's not enough, cut it again." Chen Yuan said.

"Uncle Hai, Fourth Uncle." Yang Xun shouted.

"Hey." Lin Xinhai responded, "Come and sit and drink."

Luo Laosi also nodded, got up and brought them beer.

Zhou Jianguo picked up the opened beer and held it up: "Do one."

"Let's go." Luo Laosi said with a smile.

"Cheers." Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng also touched everyone.

After taking a big sip of wine, Chen Yuan looked at Zhou Jianguo: "Old cousin Jianguo, do you think it is better for our fishing boats to be east or west?"

"What do you think?" Zhou Jianguo asked.

"I want to go east. But when it comes to the number of fish, it's definitely more than in the west." Chen Yuan said.

In the Gilbert Islands, the swells to the west are relatively large. This can be seen in the erosion of the atolls of the Gilbert Islands.

If the surge is large, it means that the ocean current has a significant effect. The action of ocean currents is obvious, and the fish are naturally more.

"To each his own." Zhou Jianguo said, "There are many fish in the west, but there are also many fishing boats. There are relatively few fish in the east, but there are also few fishing boats."

Chen Yuan nodded.

"If you go to the south of the archipelago, it should be better to go west. Today's fishing boats are concentrated in the northern ......," said Takaga.

"I'm talking about the south, which is relatively speaking, and it's impossible to go too far." Chen Yuan said: "We still have a dense array, if the fish flood comes, we still have to use the dense array."

Gao He nodded.

"You should have detailed information on the distribution of fish in the Gilbert Islands, how many more fish are in the west than in the east? Probably."

"Probably...... Double. In the Gilbert Islands, the main area of operation is on the western edge of the archipelago. There are fewer fishing boats operating in the east."
