Chapter 387 The village wants to raise funds to buy a big boat
Chen Hong went back to Yujiacun for a day, got together with everyone, signed a shareholding contract, and went to see the breeding base that was under construction.
Rows of floating balls are arranged regularly on the sea, like a jigsaw puzzle played by children, forming a regular pattern of connected dots and lines.
Standing on the bow of the boat, the village chief had the aura of pointing out the country. He happily said to Chen Hong: "This piece of seine is used to raise flounder. Look, that piece of net is used to raise oysters.
This year we will try raising these two species first. If successful, we will find a way to build two insulated greenhouses next year to raise some sea cucumbers and seahorses.
Chen Hong, those researchers said that their company’s hippocampus is still the mother stock you gave them!
Their company has successfully bred a batch of seedlings last year. If they grow well this year, they will provide us with high-quality seedlings.
I heard them say that the economic benefits of raising seahorses are very high, even better than raising groupers. Do you think we can plan this way? "
Chen Hong nodded happily: "You can just consult the experts directly about what to raise, you don't need to discuss it with me.
Uncle, I don’t know anything else except fishing. When it comes to breeding experience, I have absolutely no experience at all.
I've said it before, I only invest money in the breeding farm and don't care about it. If you ask me, you might as well ask the old man in the village.
They are all veteran fishermen who have been dealing with the sea all their lives and know a lot about all kinds of fish and seafood. "
The village chief shook his head and muttered: "I always feel that I have a good idea of what I want to talk about with you!"
In the evening, several families gathered for dinner in the hotel restaurant. While they were drinking and chatting lively, the village chief told everyone about the government's new policy.
“Now a new policy has been introduced, and fishermen will receive subsidies for purchasing large fishing boats above 24 meters.
Chen Hong, do you think we should jointly buy a big ship?
There are many people in the village who have engaged in offshore fishing. If our village had a big boat, they would not have to work on the fishing company's boat in the city.
A few days ago, I heard from people in the village that the current fishing companies are not good people.
The villagers who were on the boat were poorly fed and had to work too much, and their wages were deducted in every possible way.
Nowadays, the atmosphere on offshore fishing boats is not good either. People form cliques and crowd out honest people, and sometimes they are even beaten on board.
Lu Laowu from our village had his arm broken and was sent back. I heard that there was no evidence when he called the police, saying that he was injured on the boat due to irregular work.
After working for more than three months, not only was I not paid, but I was almost thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
If it weren't for the other four people from our village guarding the boat, this man would have become a missing person by now. "
Chen Hong: Sure enough, offshore fishing can really kill you!
"Uncle, a boat over 20 meters long cannot go out into the ocean. The waves in the Pacific Ocean are too big. In strong winds, I can't resist even one wave.
It is possible to fish in the East China Sea, Yellow Sea, and Bohai Sea. The policy is good. If you want to buy a boat, call the village to see if it is possible to raise funds in the name of the village. "
Xiaofeng also made a suggestion: "Uncle, if a fishing boat over 24 meters is new, it will cost at least 800,000 to 900,000 yuan.
If the equipment is well equipped, one million can't be enough to buy it. Can our village make it up?
Besides, it’s not enough to go to sea with one big ship, you have to buy at least two.
If something unexpected happens at sea, two ships can take care of each other, but one ship is still too dangerous. "
Brother Yusheng couldn't help but exclaimed: "Doesn't it cost more than two million? This is not a small amount, and most families in the village may not be willing to spend it.
There are 318 households in our village, with an average income of more than 6,000 per household. This number cannot be said to be too much, nor can it be said to be too small.
If half of the families wanted to join forces to raise funds to buy a boat, each family would have to pool together 13,000 to 40,000 yuan.
Our village's income was pretty good last year, and the money from selling dry goods in the online store was enough. This number is enough for most families to take out, it just depends on whether they are willing or not.
Uncle, let’s ask the village committee to hold a general meeting! If everyone agrees, the village will have to register a fishing company. "
Chen Hong raised her hand and said that her family would not participate if the village raised funds to buy a boat.
The village chief was a little confused: "Aren't you always very active in collective matters?
I was also thinking that if the people in the village don't raise enough money, your family can contribute more! "
Aunt Guo glared at the village chief angrily: "I think you are an old fool.
Can this be the same? Building a dock in the village is a major event that is beneficial to the development of the whole village, and there is no risk.
Buying a boat is too risky! It also involves how much money will be distributed after harvesting. After all, Chen Hong has no foundation in the village, so she has to shoulder the responsibility well!
She was not at home and could not contribute much on the ship. The more you harvest, the more money you get. Over time, the people in the village will definitely feel unbalanced.
But if there is any risk, she will invest a lot of money and bear the greatest responsibility. Isn't that just looking for trouble?
The people in the village are no better than ours, and it doesn’t matter who works more or less.
Chen Hong usually subsidizes us a lot, and we all know this well.
People are different. Some people can only share wealth but not adversity.
You always say nice things when asking Chen Hong to pay. If something happens, you will fall out. Chen Hong will be the first to bear the brunt. Don't you know what's going on with her in the village?
If you want to contribute to the villagers, you have to do it yourself, and don't let Chen Hong get involved with the villagers in the future. "
Uncle Erhu couldn't help but nodded: "Sister-in-law is right. Some people are just snobbish. They have one face when it is beneficial to them, and another face when they suffer losses.
Chen Hong, don’t get involved in village affairs. In such a big village, there are all kinds of people. It is enough for you to donate money to build the dock. Live your life well and stay away from raising funds. "
After being scolded by his wife, the village chief said calmly: "I really didn't think this through clearly. It's my fault! Chen Hong, just pretend that I didn't say what you just said."
Chen Hong: "It's okay, I didn't want to get involved.
Auntie, to be honest, if our family didn't get along well, you would have helped me less since I came to Yujiacun.
In addition to your trustworthy character, I will not partner with you to cover the sea, let alone trust you to hand over the hotel to you.
They say that partnership business is not allowed, not to mention that I don’t usually have much contact with the people in the village, let alone a partnership with so many people in the village!
Besides, the income from fishing is the most unstable. On the same day of going to sea, some people can return with a full cabin, while others return with an empty cabin.
It’s not that we have a particularly good relationship, we really can’t work together. If I want to buy a big boat, I will definitely buy it myself, and at most I will only take the four of you with me.
For others, there is no need to think about it. I don’t owe them anything, so why spend money to find it uncomfortable.
With the money I have, I would rather donate it to the five-guarantee households in the village and the orphans who have lost their parents. I don't ask for anything in return, and I don't want to complain. "
…………
The next morning, Chen Hong drove to a fish fry breeding company in the city. First, she delivered more than a dozen boxes of fruits and ten pounds of honey to thank them for their help to her farm.
By the way, I donated another one million to them to support their scientific research. When leaving, the manager said to her regretfully:
“You go to sea less now, and we receive fewer live specimens, which is a big loss to us.
Chen Hong, we are studying the breeding of yellow-lipped fish. When you have time to go to sea, try to find a way to find us a few more adult females. "
