Chapter 1257 Leatherback Turtle

The International Fisheries City will not be built until 2000, but now we can build a predecessor of the International Fisheries City in advance.
There is an official trading market, which is better than the current chaos at the pier with stalls set up everywhere.
If the official means are strong enough and it can really be done, it will not be impossible to build an international fishery city now in advance.
The port itself is known as the world's three largest fishing ports along with the Port of Bergen in Norway and the Port of Callao in Peru.
Of course, you must have cold chain technology and be able to sell it nationwide to make it more popular.
Of course, for this kind of trading city, the government has to come forward and operate it.
The officials must also want to clean up the chaotic docks. Such chaos is not good for their political performance.
Now there are managers on the pier to manage the incoming and outgoing ships. We know that it is an official regulation, but it is still being slowly improved and explored.
Ye Yaodong gave Zhang Rensu a few more suggestions. This was what he had seen in his previous life. Telling Zhang Rensu and letting him convey the specific suggestions would also benefit him.
By the way, it also allows the local government to avoid detours and renovate the docks in advance.
Shenjiamen itself is located at the midpoint of my country's north and south coastlines, at the intersection of the Yangtze River, Qiantang River, and Yongjiang River entrances. Facing the vast East China Sea, it has a good regional location and unique economic advantages.
After continuous development, this port has become a comprehensive port integrating foreign trade transportation, cargo handling, fishing supplies, and maritime passenger transportation.
This place is also the largest marine fishery fishing base in the country.
Zhang Rensu also described the grand scene of the dock in advance for Zhang Rensu. This is not just a picture or a fantasy, but it will actually come true.
However, Zhang Rensu must have thought that he was imagining things, but regardless of whether he was telling the truth or imagining things, this was also a good direction.
It would also be beneficial for them to let local cowards like them contact the government and rectify the local area, and avoid such chaos and being robbed while walking on the road.
And when the trading center was really built, Zhang Rensu benefited, so naturally he had to remember his feelings.
Since it is impossible for him to go back now and he wants to stay locally to earn this money, he must have to make more plans.
The public security and the International Fisheries City cannot be improved in a short time, but the gun must be obtained first.
This is also the best guarantee for them to stay here.
It's not like he didn't mention it to other fishing boats at the beginning, but everyone had tasted the benefits from the very beginning, so why were they reluctant to leave now?
They all look forward to making more money during the flood season and then returning to glory.
To be honest, he also tasted the sweetness.
The goods recovered from the sea yesterday alone sold for more than 16,000 yuan, which was three to four thousand more than the previous days.
Just taking a 30% share would give him 5,000 yuan, not much less than the previous 40% share.
This is faster than stealing money.
In addition, all the money from the sale of the Dongsheng was his, and he took 30% of each of the other two ships, which meant that he could earn 10,000 yuan from all the ships combined just by going out to sea to collect cargo.
In just 20 days since he arrived here, he has already earned about 30,000 yuan.
Excluding weather conditions, it would not be a problem for him to earn 50,000 yuan a month.
Although the money comes in faster because he has a fresh ship in hand, other ships also make less money.
For example, the Mancang account only belonged to Zhou Da and his brothers, and he did not share their shares.
But they have already made tens of thousands of dollars since they came out, and it's not even been a month. Isn't it better than making money at home?
It's more than 10,000 yuan a month, and the fishing boat will make back its money in two months.
If we wait until the flood season, we may even earn more than this profit.
If you ask them to go back now, will they be willing?
After working for two months, the capital is repaid, and the rest is a huge profit.
There are still more than 4 months left before the Chinese New Year.
When I went back a year ago, I still had more than three months to salvage, so I could earn two more big ships for nothing.
He had already calculated it before going to bed last night. Last month in Vancouver, he made a net profit of 47,000 by relying on the fresh harvest boat. It would not be a problem to earn 50,000 this month.
All in all, he could earn 100,000 in two months.
Tmd, just thinking about it last night, his heart was pounding. He just felt that his fresh harvest boat was really a killer, and he was really too smart.
Thinking of the two days ago at sea, Pei's father approached him to negotiate a share. Wasn't this just trying to make money by trying to collect the goods from his fresh ship?
Otherwise, without their goods, he would have no choice but to leave them idle at the dock.
He thought at that time that when he returned, he would order a few more large ships and form a fleet of his own. Then would he need to accept goods from other ships?
He shook off the thoughts in his mind and looked at Zhang Rensu who was thinking.
"Let me tell you, the local government agencies must be studying transportation. How can we transport the goods from the dock freshly to all parts of the country? Go and find out. If you can spend some money to take over, you will definitely be the first to eat crabs."
"Also, to mention the suggestions I just mentioned, you can compare our aquatic products wholesale market over there. Haven't you been there? Isn't this a ready-made benchmark?"
"It makes no sense that we can have a wholesale market for aquatic products. You have such a big port here and there isn't even a serious trading market. They are all temporary camps, or simply on the edge of the dock. What a mess."
"Or I'll teach you how to buy the land on Fish Market Street. I've seen it and it's definitely a good location. If you can buy it, you'll definitely be able to make a lot of money by then."
"No matter what happens, you can buy as many vacant lots as you can on the streets here. You can make a lot of money just by buying them blindly."
"If you think about it, your local government will definitely have to improve the streets, manage public security, and then also build residential buildings."
"With so many out-of-towners gathering here, are there too many places to live? If you buy the land in advance, you will have the final say on what to do with it in the future, and the government will have to compensate you for expropriation."
"You are local snakes, and you are overseas Chinese who have returned to your hometown for construction. You must have many welfare policies, and you must not be afraid of being taken over by others."
Zhang Rensu was drooling after listening to his eloquent talk, and felt that it made sense.
He was already a little hazy about this, but Ye Yaodong's words seemed to blow away the fog in front of his eyes.
It also let him know what to do, and he didn’t necessarily have to consolidate supplies and run out every once in a while.
He smiled and said: "Why do I think you have a soft spot for buying land?"
"Definitely, land is the foundation of the people. When the ancients had money, they would buy land and shops, and become local owners."
"You can't buy it. Where can you buy and sell it casually, and it's still the fish market street." Zhang Rensu shook his head, "You can still talk about wasteland."
"Then buy wasteland. The streets here are all low-rise buildings. How many people can be accommodated? There are dozens of immigrants in each house. Because there is no place to live, the streets will definitely be widened."
"This is actually..."
"Yeah, it's very simple to just buy a few pieces of land based on your overseas Chinese connections. If you can't buy the land, just buy someone else's dilapidated house in a better location."
"I've written down what you said, and I've thought about it. You've been encouraging me here, and you don't want to buy it?"
"Why should I buy this place? I bought it, can I keep it? I won't stay here for a long time. I will go back to my hometown after the Chinese New Year. It's hard to say whether I will come here next year. Although it is easy to make money, I have to
It’s all about life.”
"Yeah, that's right. Okay, then, come and get the gun you want in three days."
Ye Yaodong smiled, "It's refreshing, the more the merrier."
"No more, otherwise I'll think I'm preparing to rebel."
"Okay, then just watch it, do your best, I'm afraid of death."
"knew."
After Ye Yaodong achieved his goal, he went back and came back in a few days.
After he returned, he saw that the people on other ships who were left behind to look after their homes knew that they had sold out their goods early in the morning and what happened to them on the way back, and they all became frightened.
This was a real thing that had happened to one of their own people for so many days, and it was so close to death.
If he didn't have a gun in hand, maybe the money would be gone, and people would be injured or killed.
Except for the first day we came here, everyone didn't know how to be tolerant, and they had conflicts with others as soon as they arrived.
Afterwards, everyone came in and out together as a group. At most, they had some quarrels with others. If they tolerated it, they would be fine.
I have been watching the excitement of other people and the chaos in other places, and my skin has become loose.
Now it was tight again.
This also reminded them that they still have to carry thermal weapons when entering and exiting, and they can't have too many scruples. Their lives are their own.
After he came back, it seemed that everyone was more alert and didn't say much.
At night, after the offshore fishing boats came back, everyone gathered together to discuss.
Some go out early and come back late, and have no idea what happened to them early in the morning.
Some boatmen were also a little scared and wanted to ask when they could go back, but the boat bosses had not made enough money yet. It was the time when they were making a lot of money, and no one agreed.
Those who work for others have no choice but to have the final say. Everyone is a little worried.
"A Dong, can you think of a way to get more guns? This way everyone can defend themselves and be safer..."
"Where am I going to get it? I'm not a wholesaler of arms. I want to get a few more. It's best for everyone to have one. I almost told you this morning. If I can get it, I have to equip myself first.
But where can I get so many guns? How many can you get for me?"
"Oh, if I had known earlier, I should have gotten a few more in the village..."
Ye Yaodong suggested: "Go out later and go find a blacksmith shop to order some long knives. If you don't have a gun, it would be nice to have a knife."
"Yes, go to the blacksmith shop and get some bigger knives. They can also scare people."
"We don't take the initiative to cause trouble, and we don't kill people or set fires. Anyway, as long as no one sees us fighting, no one can catch us."
"Then you can only go to the blacksmith shop and order a knife."
After everyone discussed it, several ship bosses made an appointment to go to the blacksmith shop.
Ye Yaodong also followed. Who knows how many guns Zhang Rensu can get?
If there is not enough for one person, then it would be better for him to have a few more knives. It won’t cost much anyway.
Moreover, he has many ships, so putting a few more knives on board can be just in case, but they must not be placed in the hands of the boatman. They must be locked in his cockpit.
When he set sail on his next fresh-harvesting boat, Ye's father was shocked when he heard what happened to him.
I was so scared that I kept pulling him and talking non-stop, and then let Ye Yaodong stay at sea this time, and he would temporarily take over the work of collecting and selling goods on the fresh ship.
"As a young person, whatever happens to me will happen. If something happens to you, what will happen to your family? What will happen to your wife and children at home?"
Ye Yaodong said angrily: "What are you talking about? I am blessed with good fortune and can turn bad luck into good luck."
"Then you have to change it. I'll go sell the goods, and you can stay at sea. Anyway, I know which factory the goods will be sent to."
"And I have a good temper. If people scold me, it's okay to make a fake scale. I can just smile and ask people to buy it elsewhere. You young people like you have a hot temper and it's too easy to conflict with others..."
"Let me go to the shore to sell goods. I've eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. It's okay to give someone a few scolds, and I won't lose a piece of meat."
"We have to restrain our temper when we go out. When we should apologize, we should apologize. When we should say good things, we should say good things. As long as we can make good money."
"You can stay at sea. You can definitely catch more goods by sea. I'll go to the shore. Got it? Did you hear what I said?"
"I'm talking to you, you're working around there... are you listening?"
Father Ye kept talking non-stop, while Ye Yaodong just checked the goods in the warehouse, going in with the left ear and out with the right ear, and just dealt with it casually.
"I heard it, I heard it, but I asked Zhang Rensu to get some guns, and I promised to pick them up tomorrow. It just so happened that these goods were sent to the factory for sale, so I went to him to pick them up..."
"I'll go. Just tell me. I'll go. Did you tell me the price? How many? Get more guns. It'll be safer to keep them on your body for self-defense."
"Yes, it's better for others to die than to die yourself. Anyway, it's just self-defense. He didn't say the price, nor how many handfuls he could get. Just give us a few handfuls, and we can't insist on how many.
Let him talk about the money too, so that the lion won't open his mouth."
"Are you sure you won't arbitrarily bid?"
"No."
He said it the day before yesterday that he was much older, so there was no way he would be killed.
If you really make a lot of money from the information he tells you, you still owe him a favor.
"Okay, then I will drive this ship back by myself."
Ye Yaodong raised his head and looked at his father, "Are you sure? Are you going back to sell goods? Are you okay?"
"It's not like they haven't been sold before, and the workers on the ship are all experienced."
"Okay, then be careful. I've checked it and just drive back."
"Um."
After the father and son made an agreement, Ye Yaodong climbed aboard the Dongsheng.
The goods on the deck are still piled up there for sorting, including gold and silver...
Everyone watched the father and son exchange each other again, and said with a smile: "It's you again this time?"
"Yes, he is worried and feels that the sea is safer than the shore."
"It's okay for the two of us to take turns, and we can also have some rest."
"Fathers still feel sorry for their sons. We really only need to concentrate on fishing at sea. As long as the weather is good and the wind and waves are small, it will be safer than on the shore."
"Yes, the people here are much worse than ours..."
They started discussing again one by one.
Ye Yaodong said: "Get ready to launch the net."
"Okay, here we go..."
They quickly went to sort out the fishing nets, and Ye Yaodong also went up to the cockpit and restarted the fishing boat.
After the boatmen below were ready and started setting out the nets, he continued to drive the fishing boat in a circular motion over and over again.
It's almost evening, the sun is setting in the west, reflecting a faint golden light on the sea, and the sea is rippling with the sea breeze.
In addition to their four boats operating far apart, there are also three or four boats that can be seen at the end of the horizon.
Each boat is tacitly spaced far apart and moving in a circular motion.
When Ye Yaodong was looking for other fishing boats to receive goods, he patrolled the boats one by one, saw them from a closer distance, and then counted them silently.
There are many fishing boats in the waters here, and of course they will be more densely distributed.
The work at sea is boring. Except for collecting and raising the net, you have to do the same work over and over again.
He was bored and looked around for a long time before he remembered that there were pumpkin seeds in his pocket, which the old landlady had dried and fried herself.
He is an old lady killer, he is good-looking, he occasionally hangs out with other elderly people, helps with some work when he has nothing to do, talks nicely, sends fish there every day, and chats with them.
The old ladies like him very much. He is much more youthful and energetic than the old man, and he talks nicer.
As long as he is at home, the old lady can give him a melon or a handful of vegetables every day. She has been sending winter melons and pumpkins to them every day for the past two days.
They are all big, endless to eat, and can be stored.
If he were not here, others would not be treated so well.
These vegetables can be sold to outsiders for money, and the most indispensable thing in the local area is the outsiders who come to fish.
When she came out this morning, the old lady happened to be sitting under the big tree at the door to enjoy the shade. As soon as he said hello, she immediately grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds from her pocket, put them in his hand with a smile, and let him eat and play.
Ye Yaodong only feels friendly. Although he is like a chicken, the old man has a good heart. If you chat with her, he will feel good about you, just like his old lady.
Ye Yaodong is no longer bored when eating pumpkin seeds in his mouth. There are light pumpkin seeds without any seasoning. When fried in an iron pot, there is only the original fragrance of pumpkin seeds.
When night fell and the sky became dark, he estimated that the tide would be high, so he asked people to close the net, which was just in time to take a rest and have a meal.
Then we collect the net again at night, and then we can take turns to rest.
Ye Yaodong stopped making circular motions to keep the fishing boat stable, and the radar net also stopped rotating.
If this is a trawl, the fishing boat must not stop. If it stops, it must hang on the bottom. It must move forward slowly and slowly use the winch to close the net.
The fishing boat cannot stop until it is collected.
The radar net first stops the boat to keep the fishing boat stable, and then adjusts the position of the net gear to slowly raise the net.
A big heavy bag was hoisted up. Everyone had seen it a lot recently, and they all looked at it calmly, and then untied the net port.
It was just dark, and the hairtails might not have come out to move around yet. There were not many hairtails caught in this net, they could only be regarded as very ordinary. Of course, small yellow croakers and white pomfret accounted for the majority.
In the dark night, the colors of the two fishes form a sharp contrast, and the color contrast is more intense than during the day.
However, just when everyone was squatting down and planning to pick, suddenly from the pile of fish products that looked like a hill, a dark thing suddenly emerged from the yellow and white ones.
"Ouch, my God, what is that?"
"What, don't scare me, it's so late at night..."
Ye Yaodong had just collected the fishing nets and came down to eat. Hearing their surprised and confused voices, he was a little curious.
After the boat stopped, there was no roar of machinery, only the sound of wind and waves, and everyone's voices seemed particularly clear.
"What are you doing?"
"No, those black things can move...the forest trees...it turns out to be turtles, not turtles."
"It's a turtle...I saw its head..."
Ye Yaodong listened to everyone's discussion and moved forward. He also saw a huge black turtle head sticking out from the fish pile!
"Turtle head? Why is the turtle so black? What's so surprising about it?"
"Haha, I didn't see it clearly. As soon as I stretched out my hand, I saw a big black one. I don't usually see black claws that look like a fan."
"Fuck, these feet are so big!!!"
"Why do these feet look like rowing oars?"
Ye Yaodong perked up and thought it was just an ordinary turtle. He didn't expect that just one foot crawling out of the fish was so big. So how big must this turtle be?
Before he could squat down, he looked at another front paw emerging from the fish.
Immediately afterwards, the turtle's two front paws kept moving, and its turtle head was also swinging there, trying to crawl out of the pile of fish.
Ye Yaodong watched it struggling to move its front paws, and quickly fiddled with the pile of goods holding the turtle down so that it could crawl out, and he could see how big it was.
"Please help me, I can't even climb out, I don't know how old I am..."
"Why did we catch such a big turtle? It was trapped inside and we didn't notice it at all..."
"Yeah, I didn't even see it when I poured it out. There are too many goods..."
"I did see something black. I thought it was a fish, but I didn't expect it to be a turtle. Why is it black?"
Everyone was talking while fiddling with the fish on the upper floor. After almost all the fish on the top were cleared, everyone was surprised.
"Wow, it's so big!"
"Damn, such a big one? What kind of turtle is this?"
"Tmd, this can be used as a table? Why is it so big? What kind of turtle is this?"
Ye Yaodong touched its back. The touch felt very similar to leather. He smiled and said, "This is a leatherback turtle."
This leatherback turtle was very big. He estimated that the body length should reach 1.7 meters. It was bigger than the turtles he caught when he was fishing for jellyfish.
When he was fishing for jellyfish, no turtle he caught by chance was as big as this one.
Even though it was the largest turtle he had ever seen, the leatherback turtle certainly lived up to its reputation.
It is said to be the largest living turtle in the world and one of the largest living reptiles. The largest individual can reach 2.4 meters in length and weigh an exaggerated 916 kilograms!
This one is definitely gone, but it is also huge that no one has ever seen.
Everyone looked at the complete face of the sea turtle emerging from the pile of fish, and their mouths were opened with surprise.
"The shell doesn't feel hard to the touch..."
"It does look different from normal turtles..."
"Its back looks like the long diamond-shaped loofah we grow in the countryside..."
"Hahaha, it seems like..."
This leatherback turtle has a large head, short neck, complex and irregularly arranged scales, paddle-shaped limbs without claws, long forelimbs, short hind legs, and a short tail.
Its back is pitch black or dark brown, dotted with white spots, and its back is made of thin and tough ossified skin, like a shield, sometimes dotted with some pink and white spots.
There are 7 longitudinal ribs arranged on the carapace, and the ribs are slightly concave like grooves. The pectoral carapace is not completely ossified and has 5 longitudinal ribs. Its texture is very similar to leather, and this is where the name "Leatherback Turtle" comes from.
"Hey, hey, don't touch its head..."
Ye Yaodong saw a young boatman reaching out to touch the turtle's head and shouted quickly.
"Its head is very sharp, and its throat is lined with spines pointing backwards, which makes it difficult for prey to escape. Be careful not to be bitten, and don't touch it casually."
"Ah, so...look at where you are all touching, and I touched it too."
"I didn't ask you to touch the cock head!"
The young man's face instantly turned red, "Boss..."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone was making really dirty jokes, one after another, and the atmosphere became heated instantly when they talked about porn.
"Stop joking, help me lift it and see if it can be lifted."
"Okay, let's lift it up and take a look. Such a big one must weigh several hundred kilograms..."
"Bah, bah..."
After everyone stood in their respective positions, they all spat into the palms of their hands and rubbed them together before taking action.
"Hey..."
Everyone shouted slogans together, vigorously.
"One, two, three, try again..."
They sucked hard, their eyes bulged, the veins on their foreheads bulged, and the biceps on their arms bulged high.
"No... I can't lift it..."
"My back molars are all broken and I can't lift them..."
"I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore, I can't lift it up..."
Ye Yaodong himself tried his best to suck the breast, but he couldn't lift it.
"Holy shit, how many pounds does this weigh? Even six people can't lift it."
"Isn't it true that everyone hasn't eaten, isn't full, and has no energy?"
"Haha, I think you are hungry..."
"I'm really hungry...otherwise, let's eat first and then try again after eating?"
Ye Yaodong nodded, "Okay, let's go eat first. It's really late. Everyone is hungry. Let's try again when we're full and strong. This big guy must weigh four to five hundred pounds. So many people are lifting it."
Don’t move.”
"Can such a big one fetch a good price?"
"The live killer whale some time ago could be sold for 4,000 yuan after landing."
"Yes, yes, this turtle is also alive. I have never seen such a big turtle in my life. I can only sell it at a high price!"
"I've made a fortune. As expected, Adong's shipping is the strongest. If your father sailed the boat, he wouldn't have seen any big fish."
"Yes, before I started hanging out with the boss, I heard that the whole village was talking about the boss's shipping power..."
"Stop flattering and go have a meal quickly. I am a strong sea transporter. Isn't this known to the whole world?"
Ye Yaodong thought that if he couldn't lift it, he would have to take it back first. He originally thought that if he could lift it, he would put it back into the sea.
Fortunately, it has been out for many days, and it is time to go back on the next trip. It is so big that even pouring sea water occasionally will not kill it.
Chapter completed!
