They calculated the construction cost of a 100-acre aquaculture farm, including material costs, labor costs, equipment costs, sea area contracting fees, and all other costs they could think of.
It would cost over a million, a figure that shocked the village chief. He said that labor costs could not be included in the cost, since the families were not contributing money but only manpower, so how could that be considered a cost?
Chen Hong stated that all of these factors must be included in the calculations when investing in projects.
Chen Hong wanted to ask the breeding company to send someone to provide them with technical guidance, so that they would have a better chance of successfully raising the animals.
Chen Hong asked the village chief and Xiao Feng to take charge of the matter. Xiao Feng had worked at someone else's large-scale breeding base for several years and had some breeding experience.
The village chief understands the specific conditions of the nearby sea area and knows who in the village has aquaculture experience, making him the most suitable manager for contracting the sea area and recruiting aquaculture workers.
After learning from the village chief for two years, Yusheng and Yuyong quickly got the hang of managing livestock breeding.
Chen Hong tossed the village chief a bank card with one million yuan to him and then became a hands-off manager.
She didn't like to deal with these trivial matters. In the afternoon, she went to town to pick up the packages, and in the evening, she distributed them to her family.
This time, Chen Hong bought a down jacket for everyone, except for Wang Yusheng and Wang Yuyong. Everyone, adults and children alike, got one.
Holding the thick, long down jacket, Hou Lin was very excited and said shyly, "I haven't done anything yet, and the shop owner even bought me a down jacket too. Thank you so much!"
Xiao Hao muttered from the side, "Wang Xin and I didn't do anything either, but Aunt Chen Hong still bought them for us, didn't she?"
It's a pity that Aunt Chen Hong didn't know my dad and Uncle Yuyong went home, otherwise they would have had one too.
The village chief slapped him: "Get lost! Only hotel staff have these. You three brats are only getting them because of your mother and Yu Yang."
You're so greedy, you've got one for yourself, and now you want one for your dad too.
Stop daydreaming, there isn't any. Go play somewhere else!
Everyone was busy trying on new clothes, and laughter filled the small hotel.
Aunt Guo and Aunt Erhu touched the fabric of the down jacket with delight: "This brand advertises on TV every day, it must be expensive, at least three or five hundred yuan apiece, and Chen Hong has spent so much money again."
Chen Hong laughed: "Don't you all always call me 'Boss Lady'? I can't just accept that title for nothing, so consider this down jacket my New Year's gift to everyone."
I'm not buying anything for everyone during the Chinese New Year, so please don't call me stingy!
The village chief happily put on the down jacket and tried it on: "The size and fit are just right! We're blessed with a daughter even though we didn't have one. We're so lucky!"
"It's so warm! Don't worry, Chen Hong, I'll slap anyone who says you're stingy. If everyone were as stingy as you, we'd be more than happy!"
After laughing and joking around, Chen Hong told everyone that she was going out to sea to fish for tuna the next day and entrusted Yu Yang to their care.
Several elderly people were worried for Chen Hong when they heard that she was going out to sea. The village chief even stopped her behind everyone's back, saying, "Chen Hong, you have enough money to live on. Don't go out to sea to fish for tuna anymore."
There's nothing like that near the coast, and you're going to risk going out to sea? Are you investing in a sea area and you're short on cash?
I'll return your money, and we're done! I can't let you take such a risk just to help our families live a better life.
"If anything happens, how can I face Yang? You can't let me be caught in an injustice."
Chen Hong quickly shook her head: "Uncle, what are you saying? I have money!"
I just wanted to go out to sea and have some fun. I love being a fisherman!
I love the ocean, and I also love the feeling of a full catch of fish!
Uncle, don't worry, I have money now and I won't overestimate my abilities.
On this trip, I'll fish for tuna if I encounter any, and if I don't, I'll just cast a couple of nets to satisfy my craving before coming back.
As you know, I spent hundreds of thousands of yuan on a fishing boat. Since I'm just sitting around doing nothing, catching one or two big fish is enough to buy a good one.
No one else in our village has this ability, so I can't let it go to waste since I do!
So many tuna from the open sea have been taken by the Japanese, and now the Japanese have already started farming tuna.
We Chinese act like it's some big deal just because we catch a tuna, I just don't like it.
Our Rongcheng fishermen aren't bad either; unless I never run into one, I'll definitely bring back a few.
The village chief sighed: "Why are you so ambitious, child?"
What you just said has really appealed to me. What fisherman doesn't want to catch a good catch and have a bountiful harvest?
Since you won't listen to us, then be careful and come back soon. We're all waiting for you to return home safely!
Chen Hong took his arm and smiled as she agreed, "Don't worry, Uncle, I'll definitely come back safely. There's a satellite phone on the ship now, I'll call you every other day to let you know I'm safe."
Back home, Chen Hong first tidied up the bedding and made the bed, then went into the kitchen to cook dishes, porridge, soup, stew meat, and steam buns and rice.
With both stoves burning at the same time, they didn't stop until 10 o'clock. Looking at the full bowls, pots, and buckets in the space, they felt that it would be enough to eat for about ten days.
Yu Yang helped his mother with some chores, but he couldn't really get involved in the kitchen, so Chen Hong had already sent him to the living room to watch TV.
Chen Hong cleaned up the kitchen, returned to the living room, and told her son that there were various fruits she had just bought that afternoon in the storage room, and that he should not forget to eat them.
She promised him that she would call home the next day to let him know she was safe, and that she would go home as soon as she caught the tuna.
After her son fell asleep, Chen Hong filled the plastic bucket in the east room's storage room with her spatial water before tidying up, taking a shower, and going back to her room to rest.
At three o'clock in the morning, Chen Hong got up and drove to the dock with Black Tiger.
