Chapter 325 The Storm is Coming
Early the next morning, Lin Wanxia went straight to the airport.
She flew directly from Beijing to the city where the island city is located. It was just noon when she took a taxi back to the island city.
The villa had already started to be renovated, so Lin Wanxia found a newly opened hotel to check in.
She put down her luggage and went straight to the fishing village.
It was already past noon, and dark clouds gradually covered the sun.
The air became very stuffy, making people feel that it was not smooth to breathe.
After Lin Wanxia arrived at the beach, she could really feel the changes in the sea and the information conveyed by those marine creatures.
Grandpa Sun was right, there would be a storm today.
Lin Wanxia's eyes swept across the breeding area near the fishing village.
Now people who don't go out to sea to fish have started breeding.
Even those who go out to sea no longer venture to the 246 sea area, and have also started aquaculture.
For most villagers, aquaculture has become the main source of income for their families.
Lin Wanxia dared not imagine how many families in the village would go bankrupt if there was a big storm.
Whether digging a pond on the shore or using cages to aquaculture near the coast, it is still not far from the sea.
If the sea water rises sharply, the fish and shrimp in the cages will run out, and the seawater pools on the shore will not be spared.
Offshore aquaculture now uses steel bars or steel pipes to weld a square cube, and the five sides of the cube are sealed with fishing nets, leaving only an opening at the top, and the whole thing is put into the sea.
Then the opening is raised a little above the sea level, and the fence is raised to prevent the fish and shrimp from jumping out.
If the sea level rises during a storm, the fish and shrimp will not be trapped at this height.
If the wind is stronger, the entire net frame will be blown away or overturned, which will be a disaster for the fishermen.
Lin Wanxia has the financial strength to resist the risk of wind, but no one in the world is willing to lose money for no reason.
In the evening, the wind began to rise, dark clouds covered the sky, and the storm was about to come.
The beach was full of busy fishermen.
Everyone was busy reinforcing the net frame and lifting the box cages.
The most serious ones were using fishing nets to cover the top of the three-dimensional.
In his own breeding area, Chen Bin was also busy with his people. He was a little surprised to see Lin Wanxia coming over. "Why are you here? Are you worried about the supervision?"
Lin Wanxia knew he was joking and said, "Yes! Aren't we afraid that you will be lazy?!"
"How dare I! Now I rely on this stuff to make a living!"
"Come on! The richest man in the island city really cries about poverty..." Lin Wanxia shook her head.
"What do you mean the richest man in the island city?!" Chen Bin washed the dirt off his hands and asked Lin Wanxia to sit in the simple room next to him. "If I am the richest man, what are you and Lei Zhong?"
Lei Yanjun's current wealth far exceeds Chen Bin's.
Lin Wanxia is even more unfathomable. Of course, on the surface, Lin Wanxia has no money, and not only does she have no money, she also owes a lot of debts.
Her money is either invested or spent on boats, and the main one is that the more she earns, the more she spends.
As for the part given to Chen Manshu to take care of, no one else can see it.
Lin Wanxia shook her head and indicated that she would not go into the house and let him continue.
"The three of us are different, and we have different pursuits. You are down-to-earth, taking one step at a time, and every penny is hard-earned money. What about me? I just like boats and the sea. As for President Lei... the rapid expansion of wealth can sometimes make people lose their nature, which may be a good thing or a bad thing."
Chen Bin looked around and saw that there was no one around. He approached Lin Wanxia and whispered, "It's a good thing that I saw you today. You should remind President Lei! He is now His appetite is getting bigger and bigger. He is involved in more and more things. At first, he just sold some cigarettes.
Later, he smuggled some things from Hong Kong.
In the past two years, he has become addicted to taking advantage of the public.
A comrade of mine who transferred to the city said that Chen Bin has to go to the seafood restaurant in your city seven times a week. "
Lin Wanxia has been busy and seldom cares about other people's affairs. She only heard that Lei Yanjun's business is getting bigger and bigger, and his family has moved from the island city to the city.
I heard that he also bought a big villa and drove a car. He took a plane every day to discuss business. It can be as glamorous as it can be. I really don't know how much more glamorous it is.
Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows, "Why do you always go to the seafood restaurant?"
As the saying goes, you get tired of doing something, and most fishermen are actually tired of eating seafood. They don't even want to see it. At the same price, they would rather buy meat and vegetables.
Lei Yanjun is not a fisherman, but he grew up by the sea. He was a fishmonger for a while, and he ate a lot of dead fish and rotten shrimps that couldn't be sold.
He definitely doesn't go to the seafood restaurant just to eat seafood.
As for taking care of her business, Lei Yanjun knew very well that she didn't need it and wouldn't like it.
"Invite the leaders of the city or the leaders of large state-owned enterprises to have dinner."
Lin Wanxia nodded, "It's not easy to work in transportation. You have to manage the relationship between customers and officials."
No matter what era, as long as the officials investigate the people, they will always find out the truth.
Chen Bin laughed, "Sister-in-law, you are so humorous! You are also good at business, how could you say such naive words? Is it because you trust Lei Yanjun?"
Lin Wanxia: "..."
"You mean he bribed? What for?"
"Bribing the cadres in the city, I won't talk about the many benefits. Getting close to the leaders of those state-owned enterprises is to get them to approve the notes." After Chen Bin finished speaking, he saw Lin Wanxia's blank eyes, knowing that she was always thinking about family and national affairs, and sometimes she was far away from the lives of ordinary people.
So he stood up and explained to her seriously.
Reform and opening up is a change from a planned economy to a market economy.
In order to make a smooth transition, a dual-track system was implemented during the transition period.
Part of it is still based on the previous planned economy.
For example, if a company produces 100 bottles of soy sauce, the supply of these 100 bottles of soy sauce to those units is planned.
The price is unified, and tickets are required.
If the production capacity of this company is 200 bottles of soy sauce, then the remaining 100 bottles of soy sauce can be sold to anyone at the market price.
For example, if there is a ticket, a bottle of soy sauce costs 10 cents, then the free market may be 20 cents a bottle.
To get the planned economy price, you need a permit.
Lin Wanxia understood: "You mean Lei Yanjun bribed in order to get the goods at the planned economy price and sell them at the market price?" Lei
Yanjun nodded, and probably afraid that Lin Wanxia would be unhappy, he added: "I just heard it, and there is no evidence. Maybe Mr. Lei is not such a person."
Lin Wanxia did not speak.
Lei Yanjun has always been very courageous and has a keen business sense.
Maybe in his eyes, buying low and selling high with a permit is also a forward-looking market behavior.
Thinking of the day when Lei Yanjun saw the police and left in a hurry, he felt that Lei Yanjun might know that he was breaking the law.
After a long pause, she nodded, "I'll remind him when I see him, thank you."
As a friend, she didn't want anything to happen to Lei Yanjun.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger. It was still afternoon, but the sky was as dark as night.
People standing by the pool seemed to be blown away.
People who were close to each other had to shout to talk.
