After communication, we finally understood the real reason why the fishery had been losing money over the years.

First, every year some people sneak into the fishing grounds at night and fish secretly, resulting in a loss of about one-third of the fish.

Second, high property rights taxes must be paid every year.

Third, every year, people who steal fish fall into the fishery and drown. The fishery has to pay compensation, and the cumulative compensation for this alone has exceeded 300,000 yuan.

If there were no compensation, the fishery could have made a profit of around 100,000 yuan.

After understanding the situation clearly, Chu Xuan consulted a lawyer.

Why should we compensate those who steal fish? How can we save taxes? How can we prevent people from stealing fish again?

The lawyer said that a new policy has just been introduced here, which allows people who hire disabled people as fishermen to be exempted from part of the property rights tax.

As for the thieves' deaths from stealing fish, as long as it happened within the Hunter Fishery, according to local laws, Chu Xuan must pay compensation.

The lawyer said he could do nothing to prevent people from stealing fish.

Chu Xuan could only find a solution on his own.

There are always more solutions than problems.

Chu Xuan planned to inspect other fishing grounds first.

Wu Bingcheng contacted the two families through his connections.

However, he and Tian Xiaoyun were busy with company affairs and could not accompany Chu Xuan.

After Chu Chuanbei learned about it, he volunteered to accompany her.

Before going to the inspection, Chu Xuan went to the relevant department again to confirm Gao Lin’s property during his lifetime.

Apart from Hunter's Fishery, there was no other property.

Chu Xuan always felt something was wrong.

It is impossible that Gao Lin was penniless during his lifetime.

I pestered the staff for a long time before I got the answer.

All of Gao Lin's property was taken away by the people he hired during his lifetime, and his house was burned down.

They are all desperadoes.

There are currently no clues about their whereabouts.

Chu Xuan had no choice but to accept it.

This was not enough to defeat her ambition.

He quickly adjusted his mood and drove to Niula Fishery with Chu Chuanbei for inspection and study.

There are rarely people stealing fish at the Niula Fishery. The reason is that the seafood farmed here is disliked by the locals.

Most of them are hard-shell seafood such as crabs and lobsters.

As for the property tax paid by the fishery, it is even less, because the fishermen employed here are basically deaf and mute. According to local laws, the fishery owners can save a lot of taxes.

After understanding the situation, Chu Xuan thanked the fishery owner and left.

Rush to the next fishery, Fundy Fishery.

This fish farm raises marine fish, but there has never been any case of fish theft.

After further investigation, I found out that the fish they raise are the kind that the locals hate to eat the most.

As it was getting dark, Chu Xuan and Chu Chuanbei returned to Hunter Fishery.

The seafood in our own fishery is grown naturally and comes in various varieties, most of which are loved by locals.

Chu Xuan found John and left him two hundred dollars.

"John, find a way to do a survey and ask all the villages around our fishing grounds."

John was confused. "Boss, I've heard of questionnaires, but what should I ask?"

“Ask them what kind of seafood they hate eating the most and what they like eating the most.”

"Okay, boss, is there anything else I can do?"

"Please help recruit 20 disabled people, with priority given to the deaf and mute."

"Boss, you're trying to save taxes, right? But the consequence of doing this is that the existing fishermen face layoffs..."

"Who said I'm going to fire them? Don't worry, not a single one will be left behind! And I can guarantee that their salaries will be paid!"

John was skeptical and said, "Okay!"

Chu Xuan didn't plan to live here. "I'll come over in five days to check the results of the questionnaire."

He turned to leave but was stopped by John.

"Boss, you can't leave now. There is something important that I need to remind you of."

Chu Xuan asked in a good-natured manner, "I'm very happy to hear your reminder. Please go ahead."
