Chapter 31 Arriving at the target sea area
Uncle, is there anything that you can't say in front of everyone? Xiang Yang asked with a wry smile. At most another hour, the fishing boat could reach the sea area rich in flounder, but Xiang Yang didn't know why Uncle Xiang and those old sailors seemed unwilling to go into the water.
Uncle Xiang lit a cigarette, took a sip, and then said: Sailors are physically exhausting and hard work at sea. Our wages for the crew are not higher than those of other fleets, but the fishing crews outside Fleet sailors don’t need to dive to fish, what do you mean by diving to the bottom of the sea after you catch another net?”
Xiang Yang's expression changed, and he immediately understood what Uncle Xiang meant.
Now the young sailors on the boat don’t know that the sailors on the fishing fleet outside have the same wages as them, but they don’t need to dive to fish. Xiang Yang asked the sailors to dive and fish several times in a short period of time, but it’s okay if it’s like this for a long time Once everyone knows that the sailors on other fishing boats do not need diving and fishing operations but can get the same wages as them, there will definitely not be many people left on Xiang Yang's fishing boat.
How much do the divers on the fishing fleet outside get paid for a month? Xiang Yang asked.
Uncle Xiang waved his hand, It's not a question of wages or not, but a question of safety and security. No one knows what's underwater when an ocean-going fishing boat sails into an unfamiliar sea area. What if there is a safety problem?
Xiang Yang pondered for a moment, the safety hazards of seabed fishing were actually not a problem in Xiang Yang's eyes. Xiang Yang, who had mysterious jade shells, had far better eyesight on the seabed than at sea, so he was able to minimize the safety hazards.
On the sea like today, the chances of catching rare seafood such as puffer fish are extremely small, as small as winning the lottery. The main reason why Xiang Yang dared to buy a big boat to go to sea is because Xiang Yang has a wealth on the bottom of the sea that no one else has. The advantages.
I asked how much the divers and fishermen on the fishing fleet outside can get a month's salary? In today's environment where fishery resources are scarce, Xiang Yang would rather choose to raise the salary of the crew than let go of the richness of the seabed. Once the advantage of seabed fishing is lost, Xiang Yang is no different from other fishermen.
There is no fishing fleet in the coastal area or in the offshore area with diving crews. There are pearl fishers in the South Seas, at least 100,000 a month. Uncle Xiang said.
Xiang Yang stopped talking, even if he sold himself, Xiang Yang would not be able to pay the salary.
Uncle Xiang patted Xiang Yang on the shoulder, As long as a big ship like ours is not too unlucky, it can maintain the operation of the entire fishing boat by hauling a few nets a month, which are not the cheapest catches. As long as we catch the goods once or twice a year, we can make a lot of money, there is no need to take this risk in the water, but if you really want to take sailors to dive and fish, I can give you some advice.
What suggestion? Xiang Yang asked immediately.
The fishing boat I used to have diving equipment. Every time the fishing boat stops for repairs, the sailors can voluntarily go into the water after signing a waiver agreement with the bosun. It belongs to the sailor himself, if he finds pearls, valuable shells and other things, he can keep them for himself. Uncle Xiang laughed.
fifth floor?
Xiang Yang shook his head resolutely, Xiang Yang’s situation is obviously different from that of the fleet that Uncle Xiang was in before, the ship that Uncle Xiang was in before was completely just providing the sailors with a set of diving equipment and letting the sailors go to sea blindly to kill rats , If you touch it, you touch it, if you don't touch it, you don't touch it.
Xiang Yang can swim freely on the bottom of the sea, can easily discover the rich sea areas on the bottom of the sea, and can accurately drive the fishing boat to the water surface of the rich sea area. It can be said that Xiang Yang's main way of earning money in the future is sea fishing , Xiang Yang has no reason to directly distribute 50% of the money.
The share is waived, but every time you dive into the sea, you still choose voluntarily. If you are willing to go down, I will give you a bonus. Xiang Yang said directly.
Uncle Xiang's expression changed, and he was about to speak immediately.
Issuing this bonus is my personal act, and all expenditures and gains are not included in the scope of our partnership to purchase boats and fish. Xiang Yang continued.
No, uncle, I didn't mean that. Uncle Xiang blinked. He really didn't want to bear the expense of the bonus, but he still felt his face was hot after hearing Xiang Yang's straightforward words.
It's okay. Xiang Yang smiled slightly: I have my plan.
Hearing what Xiang Yang said, Uncle Xiang immediately stopped persuading him. From Uncle Xiang’s point of view, Xiang Yang was doing nothing but doing nothing. After Xiang Yang lost his bonus a few times, he would naturally learn to behave. Xiang Yang made a lot of money, so it's okay to spend a little money to buy some lessons.
The fishing boat continued sailing for almost an hour later.
Xiang Yang, we've sailed so far, let's try casting a net again? Uncle Xiang stood by the side of the boat, smoking a cigarette, looking at the clear water around the fishing boat with his eyes shining brightly. Judging from Uncle Xiang's experience, Sprinkling a net under such clear sea water will definitely yield a big harvest.
Okay. Xiang Yang nodded calmly, but he thought in his heart that a programmer who understands computers must be hired back on board, or else the thermal imaging submarine sonar detector that came with the fishing boat might as well be dismantled , It's just a decoration, not to mention, it still occupies a place on the fishing boat.
This sea area with exceptionally clear sea water is naturally the barren sea area that Xiang Yang has been to before, which is only rich in flounder.
The sea water in this sea area, Xiang Yang, was also amazed at its clarity when he first came here, and it was not polluted by any marine debris. Generally, veteran seamen would drag a net into the sea based on experience when encountering such sea areas, because often Such clear waters are very suitable for the survival of marine life and can bring a very high income to fishermen.
But no matter how experienced fishermen are, there will be times when their experience is inaccurate. At least Xiang Yang, who has been to this sea area, knows that the seabed in this sea area is sparse in aquatic plants and lacks plankton. Generally, fish are not suitable for survival and reproduction in such sea areas.
The windlass sounded.
Soon the fishing nets were dragged onto the deck by the windlass, and a group of crew members stretched their necks and looked forward to it, expecting another bumper harvest full of decks. When everyone saw the small red fish weighing less than a hundred catties in Ga Bian's fishing net, their expressions immediately collapsed.
Unfortunately, with such a big fishing net, I can't catch as many fish as my small fishing net. Xiang Chen came over with a foam box and caught those small fish in the foam box, Brother Yang, these small fish It shouldn’t be necessary to keep it in a water tank and just put it in the freezer to freeze it, right?”
Well, it's freezing, Xu Fang, stop the boat here. The water in this sea area is very clear and suitable for diving. I'll go into the sea to see if there are any valuable seafood on the bottom of the sea. Xiang Yang put on his diving equipment while passing through the intercom Instruct Xu Fangdao in the control room to control the fishing boat.
