With the release of the videos from Southeast China Sea and Baiyu, the trending topics that were starting to cool down have become incredibly popular again thanks to these two videos.
In particular, the two videos specifically mentioned Yuxue Shipping Company's support for national defense construction.
Support for national defense?
These few words may seem insignificant, but they caused a huge stir that night, with many people inquiring about how Bai Yu and his team supported national defense.
However, until Bai Yu and the two Southeast Seas come out to explain, they will not be able to know the truth.
Because of Bai Yu's donation to the two fleets, only the high-ranking officers of the two fleets knew about it, and only Bai Yu and his six family members knew about it. None of the employees in his company knew about it.
Previously, Bai Yu led his employees to visit the base, ostensibly as a gesture of goodwill, and sent a lot of gifts to the base.
So as long as Bai Yu and the others don't speak, they won't be able to get any information.
However, although the popularity is increasing, the number of people who dare to directly smear Bai Yu is decreasing, and many of those who previously said that Bai Yu and his group did not do any good deeds have also disappeared.
It's impossible for them to disappear completely. After all, not everyone is a naysayer. Some people are just plain stupid. In their view, rich people should be benevolent and do good deeds, and these deeds must be visible to them; otherwise, they don't count.
Bai Yu and his group naturally wouldn't bother with such people.
To be honest, if it weren't for the people from the Southeast and the Two Seas insisting that he release a collaborative video, Bai Yu wouldn't have bothered with it at all. He was quite busy during the Chinese New Year this year.
In Bai Yu's view, no one is perfect, and he can't control what others say, let alone the hands of netizens who type.
So what if he has some scandals? So what if he gets criticized? He can't make a profit anyway, and no one will stop him from making money.
Anyway, he only lives in their small fishing village. As long as the villagers know what kind of person Bai Yu is, that's enough.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Yu wandered around, visiting each of the elders of the Bai family to offer New Year's greetings. He didn't even eat lunch at his own home, but at his second uncle's house.
Bai Yu was busy until the twelfth day of the first lunar month before she finally found something serious to do.
Bai Yu owns three companies, and the working hours for each company are different. The earliest start date is at the seafood processing plant, where he started work on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
Secondly, there are live-streaming companies. They start work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, when their company officially begins live-streaming sales for the new year.
The shipping companies are the last to start work, and their sailing schedules are not fixed; they are determined by the captains of each vessel.
Starting from the tenth day of the lunar month, ships will gradually begin to set sail for work.
After all, the crew members who go to sea with ships don't receive a fixed salary. Although their basic salary is indeed not low, the lowest-paid crew members earn more than 100,000 yuan a year.
But for the crew members who joined Yuxue Shipping Company, after seeing that last year's crew members received year-end bonuses that were higher than their salaries, do you think they would want to receive that money?
If they want to receive a high year-end bonus, they must work hard and improve the efficiency of the ships they build.
After all, their year-end bonuses are tied to the ships they work on. If their ships aren't making money, where will the money come from to pay their year-end bonuses?
So under these circumstances, the captains of all the ships were very enthusiastic when they started work after the New Year. In the past, they would start work after the Lantern Festival, but now it was only the 12th, and of the seven ships in their company, only his uncle's ship was still floating at the dock.
That's why Bai Yu set a deadline for them to start work after the tenth of the month; otherwise, I estimate that these guys would have set sail with their crew on the eighth or ninth of the month.
Of course, the employees' enthusiasm for work is beneficial to Bai Yu, since he is the boss. The more enthusiastic the employees are, the more he can earn.
Compared to the captains who were eager to start work, my uncle seemed much calmer.
In his view, enthusiasm and hard work alone are not enough for fishing at sea; the most important thing is the captain's experience.
Although technology is very advanced now, and fishing boats are equipped with fish-finding radar, they can tell where there are fish and where there are no fish just by walking around in the sea.
However, no matter how advanced technology becomes, the captain's experience remains extremely important, because the captain can rely on their own understanding of the sea...
Having knowledge of the habits of various sea fish means knowing where to send your fishing boat in which season and where to fish.
This is much more time-saving, labor-saving, and cost-effective than wandering aimlessly at sea and relying on luck to search for schools of fish.
In this area, among the seven captains of the entire Yuxue Shipping Company, the only one who can rival Uncle Wang of Yuxue No. 1 is Uncle Wang, since the two of them used to be partners and they know the same things.
The reason why the eldest uncle was not in a hurry to go out to sea was because he was waiting for Bai Yu.
With the start of the new year, Bai Yu also needs to start working hard for the competition in the new year. This time, he will go abroad to participate in the competition.
Unlike before when she traveled abroad by plane, this time Bai Yu planned to travel by boat to participate in the competition, and also do some fishing along the way.
His destination was an island isolated in the Pacific Ocean: Hawaii!
Bai Yu and his friends had been here many times before. Many track and field leagues are held in Hawaii every year, especially the Diamond League, which is a regular stop in Hawaii.
However, Bai Yu had always come to Hawaii by plane before when he came to participate in competitions, and this was the first time he was going to go to Hawaii by fishing boat.
They also plan to fish in Hawaii's exclusive economic zone, where they've heard the marine fish resources are quite abundant.
The reason why Bai Yu and his family decided to take a boat to Hawaii, and on their own fishing boat no less, was not something he made on a whim.
That was a decision he made after careful consideration, and his company was also qualified to fish in the Hawaiian Economic Zone before they prepared to take a boat to Hawaii.
As is well known, coastal countries all have their own exclusive economic zones. According to the law, only fishermen from their own country can fish in these exclusive economic zones. If vessels from other countries come to fish without permission, it is considered an illegal intrusion.
First of all, the South China Sea is not our exclusive economic zone, but our country's territorial waters. It belongs to our country and there is a fundamental difference between territorial waters and economic zones.
It's just that some monkeys around us are unwilling to admit it and always think about dividing up the South China Sea, which belongs to our country. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that these things have a big country behind them, given how much these monkeys are jumping around, Southeast Asia would have become just one China long ago.
The reason why Bai Yu and his company are able to fish in Hawaii's exclusive economic zone is quite simple: their company is a member of the association.
They paid dues to the Hawaiian Fishing Association, which is the fisheries department, and then their company was allowed to fish here.
Of course, that's limited to fishing; you can't do anything else.
This time, Bai Yu is going to Hawaii to participate in more than one track and field event; there is also another event: the International Tuna Fishing Championship.
This competition, which has been postponed for more than a year, was originally scheduled to be held once in 2020, but the pandemic was raging around the world at that time, so it was impossible to hold it.
Then the same thing happened in 2021, and it wasn't until 2022 that the competition was put back on the agenda, with the global pandemic situation improving and things stabilizing around the world.
We have to hold this now, otherwise the tuna population here will become excessive!
The way tuna is caught in Hawaii is quite different from where we are. Basically, any kind of tuna weighing more than 20 pounds can be caught there.
Hawaii is different. They have strict requirements on the size of tuna caught there. Yellowfin tuna under one meter in size must be released, and the requirements for bluefin tuna are even stricter.
This regulation exists for two reasons: firstly, to protect tuna populations, and secondly, because tuna is one of the important economic pillars of Hawaii.
Because they organize the International Tuna Fishing Championship, and this competition doesn't just end with tuna fishing; it's also connected to the gambling industry.
Moreover, there is a registration fee required to participate in this kind of competition. For some contestants from other places or countries who want to participate in the competition, they still need to rent fishing boats in their local area.
After all, Hawaii's location is really too special. It's in the Pacific Ocean, which is really too far away from any continental plate.
For out-of-town competitors who want to participate in the competition, whether they choose to sail to Hawaii themselves or transport their boats there, the cost is too high. It's better for them to rent boats locally.
It was also due to various conflicts of interest that the local government introduced a variety of policies to protect tuna, all in order to keep the fishing competition going.
Originally, it was supposed to be held once every 20 years. At that time, they had already designated a tuna sanctuary here, specifically to protect the tuna population.
However, the competition was not held and was delayed for two years, which allowed the already sufficient number of tuna to reproduce for another two years without hindrance.
Two years may not seem like a long time, and even large tuna won't grow very big, but for small tuna, two years is enough time for them to grow quite a bit.
The local Hawaiian authorities were well aware of the tuna population in their own waters, so they felt they couldn't wait any longer and the competition had to be held.
The specific date of the event is March 16, 2022. Bai Yu and his group set off on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, which is the twelfth day of the second lunar month, a month earlier than planned.
It seems like it's a month ahead of schedule, but for Bai Yu and his group, as long as they can get to Hawaii before March, they're not in a hurry.
Bai Yu's track and field competition is on March 9th. As long as he gets to Hawaii before March, he will have a week to adjust his condition, which is enough time.
With a whistle from the fishing boat, Bai Yu boarded the Yu Xue and left the dock, heading towards the depths of the ocean.
This time, only Wang Hai went with him. The others, such as Coach Li, will meet him in Hawaii in early March. Li Shuang and Lu Sheng will meet Bai Yu in Hawaii around March 10.
As the fishing boat sailed, Bai Hao arrived at the rest area on the second deck. He sat on a chair, basking in the sun and drinking tea, looking incredibly relaxed!
That feels so good!
