Chen Hong was quite satisfied with the efficiency of the fish fry breeding company. She hadn't expected them to gather 1 million fish fry so quickly. She had placed the order with them just before going to Beijing, thinking it would take a few more days for delivery, but she never imagined that the fish fry would already be released into the sea before she even got home.
He had just paid a 20,000 yuan deposit to the fish fry breeding company, and still owed 40,000 yuan. According to the village chief, the quality of this batch of fish fry was exceptionally good, with strong vitality. They were mostly various types of grouper, bass, and flounder fry, and as long as they didn't encounter natural predators, most of them would definitely grow to adulthood.
Chen Hong called the fish fry breeding company and transferred the remaining payment of 40,000 yuan. She said she would definitely cooperate with them again in the future, and that keeping promises between the two parties was the best outcome.
Chen Hong has decided to purchase 50,000 yuan worth of fish fry from the fish fry breeding company every month for release, fulfilling her duty as a fisherman.
Upon receiving Chen Hong's new order, the fish fry breeding company took it very seriously, offered Chen Hong the best possible discount, and signed a long-term cooperative sales contract with her.
The company leaders learned that Chen Hong purchased fish fry not to start a marine aquaculture farm for profit.
Instead of releasing them all back into the sea to enrich marine fishery resources, they were deeply moved and reported Chen Hong's selfless act of kindness to the higher-level government.
Chen Hong only learned about this after she received praise and publicity from the city, county, and town governments and was featured in the local Rongcheng newspaper.
It turns out that the fish fry breeding company is an economic research group jointly established by the government and fishery companies. It is dedicated to the research and development of marine animal and plant reproduction, mainly to help restore marine animal and plant resources, and focuses on the breeding and promotion of various rare fish species.
Chen Hong's actions perfectly aligned with theirs, accomplishing exactly what they were striving to do. Thanks to extensive media coverage, Chen Hong played a significant guiding and leading role, greatly assisting the government in promoting the restoration of marine ecological resources.
Now, most fishermen along the nearby coast know about Chen Hong's deeds, and many have begun to attach great importance to this matter. The villagers of Yujia Village even witnessed firsthand the grand scene of the village chief leading a fish fry transport ship to release millions of fish fry into the sea.
Two fishing families have already ordered 10,000 fish fry per month to release into the sea. Fishermen who cannot afford to buy fish fry have also begun to replace their small-mesh fishing nets, trying to avoid catching too small fish.
This move did not reduce the villagers' income; on the contrary, because the fish caught in the village were generally larger and the prices rose, everyone's income was slightly higher than before.
Chen Hong, who has garnered much attention, did not accept media interviews. She only said one sentence: "I just don't want my children and grandchildren to end up like us, with no fish to catch and forced to go out to work, blaming their elders for overfishing and destroying their survival resources!"
This statement was copied verbatim by the reporter and published in the news. There was no grand talk or lofty ideals; it was just a simple and honest sentence that touched the hearts of all the fishermen along the coast, because it was exactly what their generation truly thought.
Now, Chen Hong has put aside the honor that this incident brought her and is busy fishing on the vast ocean. Her fishing boat has gradually moved towards the exclusive economic zone, and the nearshore waters can no longer hold her back. With a daily catch of over 100,000 yuan, she fishes between the open sea and the exclusive economic zone every day.
As the house renovation neared completion, Chen Hong had already paid off her loan from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in Beijing. Director Guan and Fang Yitong were both quite surprised that Chen Hong was able to repay the loan so quickly.
They thought Chen Hong would be like other company owners, taking the money to invest in other projects, and that the bank loan would continue to be paid off slowly every month!
Director Guan also promised Chen Hong that if she needed a loan again, she could directly contact him. Given her high-quality client status, the bank hoped she would continue to take out loans, bringing in more business revenue for the bank.
With the bank's support, Chen Hong didn't hesitate to ask Director Guan and Fang Yitong to inquire about secondhand courtyard houses for her, as she had longed to own one in Beijing since she was a child.
Director Guan and Fang Yitong couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and told Chen Hong that buying a courtyard house was not a good idea, as the large ones with four or five courtyards cost tens of millions of yuan, which was too expensive.
Small houses with one to three courtyards are too dilapidated to sell. The cost of repairing them would be enough to buy a small new apartment, so local Beijing residents don't like to buy them.
It would be better to buy a large apartment or villa; they'd be spacious, clean, and convenient, much more comfortable than an old courtyard house. But Chen Hong insisted, so they could only agree to help her inquire and call her if they had any news.
