Peach Pit Landlord

Cui Guojie's relative is named Cui Guosheng, a distant cousin of his. After the simple greetings, Cui Guosheng introduced his work experience to Li Yuan.

Cui Guosheng has been working in fish farms since he was in his twenties. He started as a small worker, and after more than 20 years, he finally became a master fisherman with rich experience.

Very satisfied with Cui Guosheng's work experience, Li Yuan said to him with a smile: "Since you are Cui Guojie's relative, I don't say those false words. The cage farming on the farm can be said to have just started, and everything has to be started from scratch." .If you are willing to help me, the salary and treatment will be favorable, just like the other executives, what do you think?"

Cui Guosheng glanced at Cui Guojie, and then said with a smile: "Since Mr. Li has said everything, I won't hide it from you. I have worked in the original fishing ground for so many years, and I am planning to change my environment."

"Then welcome you to join the Thai Xiantao Farm." Li Yuan smiled and shook hands with Cui Guosheng, welcoming him as a member of the farm.

Cui Guosheng is also a real person. After deciding to work for Li Yuan, he immediately turned to the topic: "Since Mr. Li has decided to develop cage farming, has he thought about what kind of seafood he wants to breed?"

Li Yuan replied: "I have also considered this issue and have a general direction, but I still need to discuss it with an expert like you before I can make a final decision. At present, my idea is to raise abalone and grouper."

Li Yuan's words made Cui Guosheng's eyes brighten, and he nodded slightly: "These two kinds of seafood are indeed very popular. Grouper is very popular in the south, and abalone is a bestseller in the whole of East Asia. Good quality abalone is even better. It is very expensive, but... abalone is not easy to raise, especially in the young stage, the mortality rate is still very high."

Li Yuan is engaged in the breeding industry, and the last thing he worries about is the death rate. Although he knew that what Cui Guosheng said was true, he still said with confidence: "To tell you the truth, I have friends in China who have been researching this issue and have achieved some results. Don't worry about the mortality rate at all, I will find a way fixed."

Now that Li Yuan has talked about this, Cui Guosheng didn't hesitate anymore, stood up and said to him: "With your words, I feel much more relieved, I want to see the breeding grounds, and decide how to arrange the cages .”

So the three of them came to the hill by the bay together and observed the situation of the entire bay from a high position.

Cui Guosheng looked at the environment of the bay, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "It's calm here, and there are mountains on both sides to block the wind, so the bad weather will not have a big impact. Moreover, the exit of the bay is quite wide, which is conducive to the circulation of sea water. From the perspective of geographical environment , is a good place suitable for aquaculture.”

Of course, to determine whether a place is suitable for farming,

In addition to the geographical environment, it also depends on other aspects of the situation. Cui Guosheng soon came to the beach and measured the temperature, salinity and ph value of the seawater in various places in the bay, and finally he was satisfied with the various indicators of the seawater.

"Mr. Li, I don't think there is a problem." After checking around the bay, Cui Guosheng finally said to Li Yuan: "Although the bay is not small, I suggest only setting up net cages in one-fifth of the water area. Preventing water quality from deteriorating is conducive to improving the survival rate of seafood."

Li Yuan only cares about which seafood is expensive and popular, and he doesn't know anything about these things. Anyway, when the time comes to use the golden beads, there is no need to worry about the survival rate.

However, Li Yuan felt that it is better to listen to the opinions of experts in this regard, and he did not want his own bay to be polluted, so he immediately said kindly: "This is up to you to decide. My opinion is that protecting the environment is also very important. , if possible, the density of the cages could be lower.”

Li Yuan's words were in line with Cui Guosheng's heart, and he couldn't help nodding his head and said: "Mr. Li's idea is very right. Only by protecting the environment can the aquaculture industry develop healthily. The fishery where I used to work was not like this. All the waters that belong to them are filled with cages. As a result, the water quality has deteriorated sharply, and the chances of getting sick from aquatic products have increased.

Finally, after discussing with Li Yuan and Cui Guosheng, they decided to set up net cages of no more than 300 mu in the bay with an area of ​​about 2,000 mu. This ratio is less than 20%, and it will not cause too much pressure on the ecological environment of the bay, which is conducive to maintaining the water quality of the bay.

And if the water quality of the bay is well protected, the cultured seafood will be less likely to get sick, grow faster, and the quality of the grown-up will be good, so the two are complementary.

After deciding on the scale of farming, it is time to make a budget. For this reason, Li Yuan invited Wang Shen, the accountant of the farm, and together with Cui Guojie and Cui Guosheng, they calculated how much it would cost to set up such a farm.

Cui Guosheng is a veteran in this industry and knows many cage manufacturers. He said that if he went out to find those manufacturers himself, he could get a lot of discounts. But even so, it is not a small expense to set up a cage of 200 mu. The cost of manufacturing the net cage plus labor costs and other expenses will cost at least 800,000 US dollars.

In addition to the money for building a cage farm, you also need to purchase seafood seedlings, purchase various equipment needed for farming, as well as the cost of feed, medicine, and increased labor costs for managing the farm. The initial investment is less than 120. $100,000, don't even want to get the farm up and running.

This is because Thailand's economy has been weak recently, and consumption in all aspects is relatively low, so it is so cheap. If Li Yuan intends to locate the farm in economically developed areas such as Europe and the United States, the price must be doubled at least.

If it was half a year ago, it would be a fantasy to ask Li Yuan to spend more than one million US dollars, and it would not be worth that much to sell someone else.

But now Li Yuan has in his hands the one million dollar drug fee that Guo Yonghua gave last time, plus the 300,000 dollar security deposit paid in advance by Baoling Co., Ltd., so there is no pressure on funds.

So Li Yuan didn't think much about it, and decided to transfer 600,000 U.S. dollars to the farm's account first, and let the construction of the cage farm start first. As for the follow-up funds, they will be transferred to the farm's account in stages according to the construction progress of the cage farm.

And Cui Guosheng also told Li Yuan that if you want to buy abalone and grouper seedlings, it will be cheaper to find domestic farms. It's just that it will be a little troublesome to transport those seedlings to the farm. If something goes wrong midway, the whole army may be wiped out, and the loss outweighs the gain.
