Os took Li Han for a tour of the dock market. Most of the fish caught on Fiji Island are grouper, grouper, grouper, rat grouper, and some coral fish, but there are not many coral fish. Hawaii
The government has imposed more and more restrictions on fishing of reef fish, and restaurants have reduced or even eliminated reef fish menus.
There are a lot of lobsters in the waters around Fiji Island. They are quite good in size and cost about US$12. They are the most popular seafood purchased by major restaurants. More than 50% of the tourists who come to Hawaii try to taste large lobsters.
The lobster market is very good. Of course, seafood plays a large part in Hawaiian recipes, especially tourists, who prefer to taste seafood. "These lobsters are good, Gordon stays."
Gordon nodded, Pandora Island, and usually comes to Fiji Island to buy fish and shrimp. "Os, how are you on the mountain?" Li Han asked Gordon to leave the big guys behind, and turned to ask Aos.
"One black stone mine has just been mined, and the other two black stone mines are currently being mined. The reserves are enough for three to five months of mining," Os said.
"Black Stone Mine?" Natalie muttered. "Han, no wonder you are not popular. On such a nice island, you actually come here to mine."
"Haha, this mine is different from you." Li Han said with a smile. "What were you yelling about before I came here?"
"Natural glass?"
"Could it be, this black stone mine?"
"Yes, this is natural glass, which is called obsidian in China." Li Han said with a smile. "There are not many mining areas, and it is all mined manually, so the damage to the environment is limited."
Li Han didn't go over to the mining area. He came here mainly to recruit fishery workers. "Hank Fishing Farm?"
"In three days, I plan to release the first batch of fry," Li Han said with a smile. "Fiji Island is a small island with the most fishermen within a hundred nautical miles around it. I want to recruit ten people here."
Os, nodded. "Okay, Han, I will ask for you, but you know, although many people sell seafood to Pandora Island, it does not mean that they are willing to work on Pandora Island."
"Han, it looks like you're not doing well," Natalie said.
"Oh, what did you see?" Li Han asked.
"That is, according to what you said, Fiji Island's attitude towards Pandora, although not good, is not too bad. Some of them are very grateful to Pandora, but it doesn't seem like that." Natalie said. "
Along the way, the fishermen had strange eyes, many of them full of hostility."
Li Han nodded, yes, as soon as he came up today, Li Han felt something was wrong. "Gordon, go and find out."
"No problem." Gordon nodded.
Gordon asked a few familiar fishermen to inquire. Within half an hour, the matter was clear. "How come the shipwreck was mentioned?"
"Han, you forgot."
Natalie shouted. "You put back those poaching fishermen. These guys may have hatred in their hearts. I think they probably spread the news about this matter."
"It's really possible." Li Han smiled bitterly. "90% of the Hawaii Fisheries Association has played some role here."
"Fortunately, because of obsidian, some fishermen can support their families with this income, and some old fishermen who are not suitable for going to sea have an extra income." Li Han said.
"It's just that young fishermen and fishermen who have had accidents don't have a good impression of Pandora." Alta whispered. "Han, maybe we shouldn't come to Fiji Island now."
"No."
Li Han smiled. "Haha, Pandora didn't do anything wrong in this matter."
Aos will come. Aos just went to find some fishermen to convey the news. "Han, everyone needs to think about it."
Although working in the fishery is equally hard, it needs to be safe and stable compared to fishing at sea. Pandora's economic strength is sufficient. However, everyone is worried about whether Han, the Chinese will be able to raise fish. If the license is revoked, these fishermen will have to face it.
If you are unemployed, you will not be able to go fishing in the short term.
"Let's take a walk first, Os. There's no need to rush." Li Han said.
“Go watch the fish.”
Dudu, the little man, jumped off the chair and pulled Li Han. Just now at the pier, he saw mostly dead fish and some lobsters. The price of seafood was not high. Not far from the pier, there were several fish shops opened by merchants.
There are relatively advanced equipment here to raise some high-end marine fish, crabs and shrimps. "Bluefin tuna?" Gordon shouted.
“Bluefin tuna?”
"Wow, it's so big."
"Hawaii is located in the south of the Pacific Ocean, but bluefin tuna is rare. Many experts even say that there are no bluefin tuna in Hawaii." Li Han said.
"This is not one piece. It looks really big." Natalie gestured, and it was almost two meters long.
"This bluefin tuna is almost eight hundred pounds. It's really big." Gordon said.
You know, there are more albacore tuna here, and they are not big. Forty or fifty pounds is considered big.
In this store, most of the tuna is sold, and the price range is quite large. Bluefin tuna is much more expensive than ordinary albacore tuna.
Tuna is a good material for making seafood sashimi, tuna salad, and fish steaks. "The logo of the Fisheries Association." Gordon whispered.
"Fisheries Association?"
Li Han looked along where Gordon pointed. "Sure enough."
"Let's go."
"Han, Fisheries Association, really has a great influence on fishermen." Natalie said. "Now Hank Fishery is going to be in trouble."
"There is trouble."
Li Han said.
The recruitment thing is not going well. The recruitment plan for ten fishermen is only half completed. "Damn traitor." Misal shouted.
"Misal, don't be like this." Fishbone Wolf, yes, it's this guy, unexpectedly appeared next to Misal.
"Hank Fishing Ground, okay, as long as the fishing ground is opened, we will have enough things to arrange." Yubalang said with a smile and watched Li Han and his party board the boat and leave.
At Hanke Fishing Ground, fishermen are inspecting the fishing nets and isolating and cleaning up some debris in the fishing ground. "Three days are enough."
Li Han, who returned to the fishing ground, followed the person in charge and walked around. "When the first batch of fry is put down, Hanke Fishing Ground will be officially operational."
"Yes, boss."
Li Han, looking at the busy crowd, did not tell everyone that Hanke Fishing Ground not only faces its own challenges, but also external challenges.
Back on Pandora Island, Li Han caught the little man carrying a small bucket to water the vegetables. "Little naughty boy, don't run away, go to the study with daddy."
"Dudu has finished painting." The little Dudu pouted and said.
"Dad is not talking about painting." Li Han grabbed the little man and came to the study. "Last time, I was talking about fish fry, but why couldn't I redeem it? What happened?"
"Dudu doesn't know, exchanging Xiaobao and Xiaogangya is a trap," Dudu said.
"Economic fish can't be exchanged?" Li Han, please understand. Emotional freak fish can be exchanged at will, but economic fish cannot be exchanged for space.
"What is an economic fish?" Dudu asked with a confused look on his face.
"Economic fish are grown and eaten," Li Han said.
"Well, I won't exchange it." Dudu said.
"Why?"
"Dudu doesn't know either."
"That would be troublesome." Li Han muttered.
His big eyes wandered around, he lowered his head and laughed, little devil, he didn’t know what he was thinking of.
Fishbone Wolf is reporting to Takagi of the Fisheries Association on the situation of Hank's fishing ground. "Okay, this Chinese has done something stupid."
"That's right, Director Takagi, if this guy had been running the tourism industry, we wouldn't have been able to get involved. Now this guy chooses to run the fishery. This is really a God-given opportunity." Not only was the fish bone wolf embarrassed by Li Han, the fishery was sunk.
Hatred, it can be regarded as a deadly feud.
Takagi nodded. "I will report this matter to the president."
Fishbone Wolf nodded and bowed, leaving the office with a sneer. "Chinese, you will pay the price for your stupidity."
As the operation time of Hanke Fishing Farm gets closer and closer, outsiders know more and more about the situation of Hanke Farm. "With an investment of nearly 50 million US dollars, this guy is crazy."
When Yu Gulang learned this news, he jumped up from his chair in surprise. "Okay, okay, great, this Chinese is crazy, great."
Fish Bone Wolf can imagine the various problems that Hank's fishery will face next. "The ocean currents in the sea area of Pandora Island are not many and are gentle. This is not a good place for fish farming."
The seawater does not alternate between hot and cold, resulting in a rapid flow. The organic matter on the seabed cannot come up, and algae growth is ignored. Fish food is not enough, and the amount of feed will increase significantly, increasing costs. The taste of cultured fish and shrimp will also be inferior to fish.
Natural seawater culture, the price is low.
This is a disgusting cycle. After Yushanglang got the news, he felt very good.
"Han, the problems at Hank's fishery are too obvious." Lingna said. "Perhaps you should consider changing the business model of the fishery?"
"Business model?"
"Yes, a tourist fishery." Lingna said. "Fishing, diving and other projects."
Li Han frowned. The Fisheries Association, the congratulatory letter in the morning, and the compliments, I think, have already had a detailed understanding of the surrounding environment of Hanke Fishing Ground.
"Sure enough, I didn't have good intentions." Li Han said.
"Han, what do you think?" Lingna didn't know what Li Han was thinking.
"Ah, you are right, this is a good idea." Li Han said with a smile. "Then let's develop this project."
"Han, are you sure about fish farming?" Lingna was a little confused as to why Li Han gave up so easily.
"Can't we take care of both?" Li Han said. "I think it's better to take care of both, isn't it?"
Well, as expected, Lingna knew. "Okay, Han, I hope you succeed."
This time Lingna was not optimistic about the fishery. It was the first time for Li Han to do fishery farming. It was not like farm management. Li Han had rich experience and was helped by Albert, Henry, Hutton, Jem and others.
At the fishing ground, Li Han only hired some ordinary fishermen. "Perhaps, Han, you can contact more people at the University of Hawaii."
"That's right, University of Hawaii."
Li Han clapped his hands, how could he forget these people?
The University of Hawaii's research on marine life and ecology is at the top level in the world. "Fish farming, I'm sorry, Han, I think I don't have extra time to do these little things now."
However, what made Li Han speechless was that when these people heard that Li Han asked him to learn about fish farming, each one of them acted as if they had swallowed poop, which was ugly.
