"Hmm, what? Some fishermen want to burn incense on the island?"
When Li Yaolin heard the security captain's report, she thought she had misheard.
These fishermen are legitimate fishermen, no, they are fishermen from the local fishing village in Biwan District?
She remembered that these fishermen had strong opinions about Xingzhou Island, so why did they suddenly have the idea of burning incense on the island?
Local employees such as Gao Zhenhai and Lin Hai knew what happened. They said:
"Two days ago, a fishing boat encountered a storm while going out to sea and almost couldn't return. They later escaped and returned to the nearby waters and were rescued by the Maritime Department. Afterwards, they said that the radar was broken at the time and they lost their direction of navigation. It was only with the light from the lighthouse on Xingzhou Island that they were able to return safely and support the rescue ship of the Maritime Department to arrive."
Li Yaolin: "..."
She did not doubt the truth of this, because this lighthouse is a landmark for APP rewards!
Although she just learned that landmarks have special buffs like wonders, it does not prevent her from feeling a little proud of it.
She asked again: "Since it's because of the lighthouse, why do they come to burn
incense?" "Because the light from the lighthouse can't reach that far, they think that the reason they can see the lights on Xingzhou Island must be because of the gods' blessing. If they don't burn incense to the gods, it's disrespectful, and the gods won't protect them anymore in the future!"
Li Yaolin: "..."
The fishermen are really superstitious and obsessed with these things, but there is really no place for them to burn incense on Xingzhou Island. So she said: "If they really want to express their gratitude, they can just thank the sea god silently in their hearts, and the sea god will know."
Lin Hai suddenly remembered that the name of their company seems to be "Sea God Holiday Tourism Development Co., Ltd.", so, is it that the island owner is the most superstitious? !
Oh no, it shouldn't be superstitious, it should be said that the island owner is the biggest fan leader of "Sea God"?
Li Yaolin asked him, "Are you complaining about me in your heart?"
Lin Hai was startled and said quickly, "No, how could I complain about you, my boss?"
"But your expression doesn't say that."
Lin Hai: "..."
Is he so worried now?
Li Yaolin smiled and said, "Okay, go and do your work! It's dry now and it's easy to have a fire. You need to arrange more people to patrol and inspect, and be careful not to have any safety hazards."
...
Although the sea dozens of nautical miles away was experiencing a storm, Xingzhou Island was calm and unaffected.
All the fishing boats returned to the fishing port, and the fishermen sat together eating fried fish, drinking beer, smoking, and chatting.
"I'm not saying this, it was really dangerous this time, we almost couldn't come back."
The captain had a bruise on his forehead, it was because he didn't stand firmly when the waves were rough, and he hit the iron plate head-on, almost knocked him out.
"How could it be such a coincidence that the radar is broken?" someone asked.
"Well, it's been too long since I checked it, and the wind and waves were strong this time, so the signal receiver broke down." The captain was a little upset, it would cost a lot of money to repair this and inspect the fishing boat.
"Then if you want to come back this time, you really have to go to Xingzhou Island to burn incense."
"We don't allow burning incense on Xingzhou Island."
"Why are you so inflexible? After burning incense, find a place to stick it, and then run away. Who can catch you?"
"I don't want to be blacklisted like Bingchang."
"Then use apples to stick a few incense sticks and worship here at the pier?"
The captain said "um", and then asked: "Are Lao Peng and his men still causing trouble with the sea fishing club recently?"
"It's a long time ago, but the fishing business is really profitable. They plan to open a store at the pier so that tourists and fishermen can charter boats to go fishing. When it's more, they can earn hundreds of dollars, and when it's less, it's at least one or two hundred a day!"
The captain frowned: "Haven't they learned enough?"
"This time they didn't use the name of Xingzhou Island to cheat people. It's just that Xingzhou Island has established a club, and next month it will host a fishing competition organized by provincial agencies. Many fishermen who participated in the competition wanted to learn about the fish situation here, so they were looking for boats everywhere. Lao Peng happened to have a boat, so there was no reason for him to not do business!"
The captain of the boat said, "The fishing competition is also a short-term event. What happens after the competition? The store can't be open for only one month, right?"
"Nowadays people love fishing. If I had the certificate, I would have joined too."
The captain of the boat was also full of worries. After returning this time, his wife kept asking him to find out if there were any aquaculture areas or beaches that were ready to be transferred. Compared to going out to sea to fish, contracting a bay for aquaculture is safer.
But breeding is not that simple. You need to know the breeding technology, be prepared for typhoons or red tides, and find a market.
Some people say that if you do a live broadcast on the Internet, you don’t have to worry about sales, but the live broadcast must be watched. Without the company’s packaging, ordinary fishermen’s live broadcasts will not be watched at all.
And only wholesale can make more money. If you sell seafood online, if a hundred people come to buy, he has to pay a hundred shipping fees. What a loss!
The oyster farming family in the village is in this situation. They invested tens of thousands of yuan in live broadcasts, but there was no response. Ordinary people want to buy a few kilograms or a dozen kilograms, but they are not willing to sell at all. They are all wholesalers of fifty kilograms or hundreds of kilograms, but they don’t know people in big food stalls and big hotels.
His wife also envied those who could open hotels, but their location was right by the sea, with a wide open space in front for tourists to park, a beach behind them for enjoying the scenery, and a large storefront. In general, they had the best time, place, and people.
Their house was not in a good location, with neighbors who built five or six stories high in front, behind, and on both sides. It was not suitable for opening a hotel.
So apart from going out to sea to fish, he really couldn't think of any other way to make money.
Another fisherman suddenly became interested and said, "You can make a lot of money by driving a car recently. The kid from Asong's family got a second-hand van and has been soliciting passengers at Biwan Station recently. There are six people in the car, and each person is 30 yuan. A round trip is 360 yuan. He can make five or six round trips a day. Calculate how much he has earned!"
"Are they all tourists going to Xingzhou Island?" asked the captain of the boat.
"Well, in addition to Xingzhou Island, some people also go to the Island Park, but more people go to Xingzhou Island. More than 3,000 people enter and leave the island today, and the hotels and restaurants near the pier are doing great business! Even the vegetable vendors make money, just because those people love to go to the island for barbecue." The fisherman suddenly started swearing when he got excited.
Since Xingzhou Island is so popular, many vendors cannot set up stalls on the island and choose to set up stalls at the pier, which often causes congestion. Recently, the urban management has paid special attention to this area and comes every now and then, but it does not prevent the surrounding hotels and restaurants from taking advantage of it and making their business prosperous.
The captain suddenly came to his senses and said, "Hearing what you said, everyone related to Xingzhou Island has made money?"
"Of course! This Xingzhou Island is too weird. The temperature has started to drop, but it's still like summer there. We wear long sleeves here, but we can go into the sea in shorts on the island without worrying about catching a cold."
The captain suddenly slapped the fisherman on the head: "What's so weird? It's the blessing of the sea god!"
The fisherman reacted and dared not say bad things about Xingzhou Island anymore. Look, his good buddy has become a fan after this experience.
After training the men, the captain began to wonder in his heart whether he should also seize the opportunity to climb up the big tree that is thriving on Xingzhou Island...
-
Li Yaolin recently discovered that the fishermen in the surrounding fishing villages seemed to have stopped looking for trouble. They were so peaceful that it was a little unusual.
The little mermaid: "What's the matter? The island owner feels uncomfortable if others don't cause trouble for a day? The island owner is a masochist!"
"Wow, you even know about the alphabet circle, and you have the nerve to say you are still young?" Li Yaolin said, "It's better to be well behaved. I'm afraid they are planning to do something bad, or they are burying some landmines for me to step on!"
The little mermaid: "I know what the island owner's disease is called, it's called paranoia!"
Li Yaolin: "..."
It happened that Lao Li and others came to report to Li Yaolin about the preparations for the "First Northern Bay Cup Fishing Invitational Tournament".
This competition was hosted and directed by the Northern Bay Economic Zone Construction Committee, and several organizations such as the Provincial Leisure Fishing Association were responsible for hosting it. Xingzhou Island, Xingzhou Sea Fishing Club, and the Youshi Biwan District Government were co-organizers of the competition.
Xingzhou Island provided the venue, but it was not free. The organizer would take out 5,000 yuan from the registration fee of the anglers and the funds allocated by the organizer as the venue rental. There were about 300 anglers registered this time, and this rental fee was considered a 20% discount given by Li Yaolin to the contestants.
Xingzhou Island had to be responsible for maintaining order and providing security after collecting the rental fee. As for the price of the boat, fishing gear, and bait, it was calculated separately.
"They hope we can help them rent some fishing boats, but the boss also knows that many of the qualified fishing boats and fishing boats in the oil market are related to Yu Fan..." Old Li looked embarrassed.
Li Yaolin didn't quite understand: "Isn't he the executive vice president of the Leisure Fishing Association?"
Logically speaking, since the Leisure Fishing Association is hosting this competition, he should also contribute, right?
"It was because we set up the club that he was humiliated. The fishing association refused to include him, so he quarreled with the president of the association. In order to give us a warning, he said that he would not rent the boat to us and would not provide any help."
"No wonder the Youshi Fishing Association was not among the co-organizers this time." Li Yaolin shook her head. Yu Fan's path was narrow! The
reason why she did not restrict tourists from bringing in food and drinks was not only because it was suspected of being illegal, but also because she knew that some money could not be earned by herself. She had to give others some opportunities to make money, so as not to arouse others' jealousy.
Although it is inevitable that there will still be people who are jealous, when the voices against her are small, those people dare not easily come out to stir up trouble and deal with her openly.
Isn't it? The hotels, restaurants, and vegetable markets on the other side of the pier are doing so much business that when there are suspected scammers and scalpers who are swindling under the banner of Xingzhou Island and are active in the area around the pier, they are more active in reporting than tourists.
So even if Yu Fan himself doesn't want to make money, it's fine. The ship bosses who cooperate with him always want to make money. He not only cut off his own retreat, but also didn't let his subordinates drink soup. How can anyone accept it?
However, these boat owners are different from the boat owners in the fishing village. The fishermen who had cooperated with him before all had small boats and fishing boats, but these boat owners who had cooperated with him for many years had very professional medium and large sea fishing boats. They had a rift with Yu Fan, and Yu Fan's sea fishing business could not go back to the past.
Although Li Yaolin had never done business before, she still understood some social etiquette, which was why she could still sit down and discuss cooperation with Fang Xinhua after they had a dispute over the route.
Li Yaolin said: "Go ask other clubs, and then contact those boat owners to see if there are any willing to rent a boat."
Lao Li nodded and decided to treat Lao Du and others to a meal. After all, they are locals and know more people than him.
With Lao Du's help, they quickly found several villagers from a nearby fishing village.
Lao Li was a little suspicious when he heard that the other party was from a fishing village, but Lao Du said, "Yao De has never done anything bad to Xingzhou Island. If it weren't for the appearance of the sea god, he might not have come back the last time he went out to sea. So when he heard that Xingzhou Island was looking for a boat, he is now very active!"
Although Lao Li was very happy that the other party was so active, he was not optimistic and said, "It's not enough to just have a boat, you also need qualifications."
Many fishing boats have "three certificates (fishing boat registration certificate, inspection certificate, and fishing license)", but not all fishing boats with "three certificates" can operate sea fishing.
The fishing boat that had previously cooperated with Yu Fan had a cooperation agreement with the Sea Fishing Club and was considered a vessel of the club. It met the conditions for carrying out various sea fishing activities and only operated in offshore waters, so it was not illegal. But if there was no cooperation with the club and it had to go far away from the coast, it would not work.
Lao Du smiled and said, "Don't you have a sea fishing club on Xingzhou Island?"
Lao Li: "..."
From what Lao Du said, he meant to let the captain join the club and develop long-term cooperation with Xingzhou Island?
But he was not sure whether the island owner would have a grudge because of the previous incident.
He decided to meet the captain first.
The meeting went smoothly. The captain Zhang Yaode did not show any hostility, and it could be seen that this time he was sincere in seeking cooperation.
Lao Li directly put forward the conditions for the boat trip: "There are several hundred people in this competition, divided into three events: shore fishing, rock fishing and boat fishing. We need about ten boats, and they cannot be wooden fishing boats, too old, too small, or large fishing boats. Can you find so many boats that meet the conditions?"
Zhang Yaode took a moment to recall the people he knew, and said uncertainly: "According to your conditions, I can find seven boats here."
"Seven is fine, but are you really willing to cooperate with us for a long time?" Lao Li asked.
"Yes, but let's not beat around the bush, everyone has to make money, right?" Zhang Yaode saw Lao Li's distrust, after all, the actions of some people in the fishing village were indeed a bit unethical.
But there is more than one fishing village in Biwan District. We can't extend the responsibility to all fishermen in other fishing villages just because of the behavior of some individuals in other fishing villages!
Lao Li nodded: "You are right. Everyone wants to make money. That's true. But are there any people in your seven boats who have cooperated with the Fishing and Sailing Club before? Our boss doesn't bear grudges, but there are some things that the boss can't just ignore. After understanding what happened between them and the Fishing and Sailing Club, we are even more worried about cooperating with them. What if we become the second Fishing and Sailing Club?"
Zhang Yaode took out a cigarette and wanted to smoke, but after thinking about it, he didn't light it. He just put it to the tip of his nose, took a puff, and then clamped it on his ear.
"Five," he said. "Two of them have worked with the fishing club before, and there are five boats that meet your requirements. After all, we all make a living by going out to sea to fish. It's too much to use such a big boat to carry people for sea fishing."
"Then you won't go out to sea to fish in the future?"
"How can I not go out to sea? But I can't go out to sea every day. When I'm not out to sea, I have to make a living, right?"
Lao Li asked, "Do you regard cooperation with us as a side job to make extra money?"
"We have lived by the sea for generations. The sea is our granary and fishing is our livelihood. It is impossible for us to completely give up fishing."
These fishermen are different from fishing companies. Not only do their equipment not keep up, but they also cannot go fishing in the distant oceans where the fishery resources are more abundant. Therefore, those who easily make millions are basically distant ocean fishing companies. For these fishermen, it is lucky if a boat can make 200,000 or 300,000 a year.
Now he dare not go fishing in the sea too far from the coast. He earns little, so he naturally has to do some side jobs to make up for it. Otherwise, when the children grow up and want to get married and buy a house, where will they get the money!
"You are very honest." Lao Li said.
The other party had a filter for Xingzhou Island. At least they didn't have to worry that he would be like those fishermen without any bottom line, cheating tourists when they make money and stabbing the club in the back when they don't.
Lao Li told Li Yaolin the truth about this matter, and the latter said: "I believe you can handle this matter well. As for whether to cooperate with them and how to cooperate, it is up to you to decide."
After negotiations, Lao Li finally signed several boats of Zhang Yaode and his relatives and friends.
The contract stipulates that the cooperation between the two parties is not just this fishing competition. If the club organizes similar activities in the future and needs to use boats, they must ensure that the boats are free.
Because the competition will definitely be organized one month in advance before it starts, they cannot choose the day of the competition to go out to sea to fish. Similarly, boat captains must inform the club in advance before going out to sea to fish.
In addition, as the diving project has begun to limit the number of people who can experience it due to weather reasons, more and more tourists have turned to signing up for boat fishing, making the original two fishing boats slightly insufficient, so the club will rent these five boats on behalf of Xingzhou Island. The
five boats cannot go out to sea to fish at the same time. It is necessary to ensure that at least two empty boats come to Xingzhou Island to "go to work" every day. Xingzhou Island divides the rent for them according to the "attendance rate" of the fishing boats into several levels, such as one level for less than ten days of attendance per month, and one level for ten to twenty days... The more attendance, the higher the score, and there is a full attendance award for full attendance.
Compared with the cooperation between the fishing and sailing club and the fishermen, the cooperation between Xingzhou Island and Zhang Yaode is more reasonable and standardized, and can also improve the enthusiasm of the boat captains.
As for the remaining five boats needed for the competition, Lao Li contacted the clubs of General Zhong, and they readily agreed to rent the clubs' fishing boats.
So there was one more co-organizer on the poster.
...
"Yu Fan was so angry when he saw the poster. The key point was that after the captains of the boats knew how much the official rental subsidy was, they complained that he was the vice president of the Leisure Fishing Association, but he did not use his advantage to help them occupy these quotas. Now they are arguing with Yu Fan!"
When Hai Ge called Lao Li, he talked about Yu Fan's reaction to the cooperation between Xingzhou Island and the fishermen.
"This is called 'those who are righteous have many helpers, and those who are unrighteous have few helpers'."
The author has something to say:
Little Mermaid: I know that employees have performance points at work, but I didn't expect that fishing boats also have performance points at work. Island owner, you really reached a new height.
Island owner: ? ? ? I never thought that I would have to take the blame for my employees one day.
