Chapter 561 Unwilling to Rent Land



She wanted Professor Shen and his team to focus on researching aquaculture techniques in saline-alkali land.

The technology for yellow croaker farming is now mature and can be promoted in coastal areas.

That's why she wanted to separate yellow croaker farming and form a farming base with shrimp farming, using the same vacuum freezing technology to sell them all over the country, and even export them.

The chubby girl nodded. This way, it would be easier to manage and control sales.

It's unrealistic to rely solely on business owners from various regions to come to us, and the survival rate of yellow croaker is very low when it's delivered to different places, resulting in significant losses.

When they shared this idea with Shen Hai and Professor Su, they both fell silent.

Is the technology for yellow croaker farming being taught to various fishing villages and aquaculture bases along the coast for a fee?

They had this idea, but they never thought Lin Ziyan would actually be willing to pass it on.

“If we teach the skills for free, many people will doubt our motives and won’t take it seriously,” Lin Ziyan explained.

"Furthermore, it is reasonable to charge a certain tuition fee. After all, our breeding methods and data summaries are not free. The hard work of the experts should be rewarded and recognized."

Shen Hai: "You guys can decide this. Whoever pays has the final say."

Professor Su nodded; he thought so too.

The next step was to re-enclose the yellow croaker breeding base. After the plan was finalized, the village party secretary personally consulted with people to divide the land into plots.

There was no opposition to the enclosed land plots in the past, but this time it didn't go so smoothly.

There are eight production teams in Haibi Village. This land reclamation project involves the shared land of the sixth and seventh production teams. The sixth production team agrees, but the seventh production team strongly opposes it.

First came the seafood market, then the shrimp paste factory, and later the mudflats.

The people of Team Seven felt that if the Lin family continued to enclose their land like this, all the land in the village would soon become theirs.

Where there are those who oppose, there are those who support. It's rare for the seven teams to reach a consensus; they refuse to budge and insist on competing for the land.

Their team wants to raise shrimp and yellow croaker themselves and is unwilling to rent out the land.

The people in Team Seven don't lack the money from renting the land; they'd rather do it themselves.

They've been observing for two or three years and see that shrimp and fish farming require large investments, but also offer high profits.

Now, most of the people in Team Seven work in factories. The elderly in the team have time to look after their homes, and it's easy for them to keep an eye on the shrimp farm and fish farm.

"Captain Li, are you sure? You're not going to rent the land?" Secretary Qin asked sternly, puffing on his pipe, his brows furrowed.

He ran a shrimp farm a few years ago just in time for the shrimp plague, and he still feels lingering fear when he thinks about it now.

Now, the captain of Team Seven is actually leading the charge to set up a shrimp farm and a fish farm.

Secretary Qin rarely leaves the village, only leaving when attending meetings in the county or town.

He knew perfectly well that raising livestock was not easy, and building a large-scale livestock farm was even more difficult.

The Lin family's breeding base has always been operating at a loss, and they still have to pay for the laboratory's research expenses.

Without the support of the shrimp paste factory and the electrical appliance factory, it would have been virtually impossible to expand.

Captain Li nodded: "Confirmed, our team will organize the event ourselves."

He had carefully planned it out: first, he would set up a shrimp farm, and then use the profits from the shrimp farm to set up a yellow croaker farm.

As for yellow croaker fry, the seafood department sells them.

The Lin family's breeding base also sells yellow croaker fry.

Every household in Team Seven wanted to get rich as soon as possible, and they all built houses.

The Lin family belongs to the Fifth Team. Now, many households in the Fifth Team have built multi-story houses, and they are envious and their hearts are also stirring.

Secretary Qin nodded, "Alright, then we won't requisition your land, but you'll have to learn from the Lin family's experience in opening a breeding farm. Don't just blindly start doing it."

Captain Li rubbed his hands together, his eyes filled with complex emotions, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Secretary Qin snorted, not in a hurry to leave, waiting for him to speak.

The people in Team Seven are resourceful, capable, and unafraid of hardship or fatigue; every household in the team is doing well.

Secretary Qin was worried, but he wouldn't stop it.

He doesn't care how each team develops; he lets them do their own thing and encourages other teams to follow suit when they achieve results.

"Secretary, look..." Captain Li's face turned red. He felt that he was being unfair, but he also wanted the village to lend a hand.

His idea was simple: to help the households in the team make money.

Working away from home is good, but having extra income in the village is even better.

Living by the sea, everyone was eagerly anticipating his arrival, and he couldn't let his team down.

"Could you please talk to Ayan properly? We want to raise shrimp ourselves..." Captain Li said, his ears and neck turning bright red.

Secretary Qin lifted his eyelids, glanced at him, and nodded.

This needs to be discussed properly; we can't let it become a feud.

He was pondering how to start the conversation when he walked until he arrived at the gate of the village laboratory.

Lin Ziyan came out of the experiment and saw him looking down in thought: "Secretary Qin."

She called out and stepped out.

Shen Hai and Professor Su exchanged a glance, their eyes understanding each other.

When Secretary Qin saw her, his eyelids twitched, and he didn't know how to start a conversation.

Not wanting to rent land but wanting Ayan's technical support to help him open a breeding farm, Secretary Qin found it increasingly difficult to ask.

Lin Ziyan went to the office and brought out two bottles of water, handing him one:

"Is the land enclosure project not going well?"

Seeing the expression on Secretary Qin's face, she tentatively asked a question.

Secretary Qin briefly explained the situation of Team Seven, feeling quite uneasy.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ziyan burst out laughing, "Why are you so worried about this?"

“It’s a good thing that Team Seven wants to raise their own fish, but their land is only big enough for a shrimp farm, not enough for raising yellow croaker.”

"They can come here to learn the techniques, and with expert guidance, they can receive expert instruction according to the aquaculture base's fee schedule. We can also sell them yellow croaker fry and shrimp fry..."

Lin Ziyan spoke her mind without hiding anything.

Since we want to promote the technology, why not try it out in the village first?

Party Secretary Qin was stunned: "You really think it's feasible?"

"But what if word gets out and Team Six has the same idea?"

Lin Ziyan laughed and said, "Then they can open a breeding farm just like Team Seven. We can just find another place. It doesn't matter if it's not in the village, it won't affect anything."

Secretary Qin couldn't understand, so he could only nod and light his pipe again.

He went home with his hands behind his back, still unable to figure it out, so he decided to visit Old Secretary Lin's house.

After listening to what he said, Old Secretary Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Old Tan, we haven't thought things through as thoroughly as Ayan."

The villagers are spreading unpleasant rumors behind our backs, saying that our village committee is becoming part of the Lin family's control.

They always assumed that as long as the farm was established, it would make money, and they felt they were losing out by renting the land to the Lin family.

Secretary Qin nodded. The unpleasant words had reached him, but he couldn't explain to each and every one of them.

The villagers only thought the aquaculture tidal flat base was large, but they didn't realize that the investment was also huge, and the laboratory was even more expensive.

When you see what others have accomplished, you always think they were just lucky, or that you could do it too, and even do it better.

Only by actually engaging in aquaculture can one truly understand how difficult it is.

"Let them do it themselves, we'll just assist them. They won't settle down if we don't cause trouble. If they succeed, that's a good thing; if they fail, they'll learn their lesson." Secretary Qin understood this and felt relieved.
