Early the next morning, all the crew and workers were ready.
Numerous ground cages were placed on the seabed around the fishing ground as the last line of defense. The two boats of "Controlling Water" and "Rooting Water" went out together and started fishing operations at the outermost periphery.
The workers paddled small sampans and started various fishing operations around the fishing ground.
Ye Yuan asked Su Mei to help him overnight and bought more than a dozen sets of diving equipment at Blue Island. He expected to arrive in Pinghai County today, plus some diving equipment on his boat.
Select some younger people with diving experience and dive directly to the bottom of the sea to fish artificially.
This is to prevent starfish from entering the fishery area.
My mother was also very helpful. She called my uncle’s family and the only dozen young fishermen in their village overnight.
Ye Yuan hired them to go to the island at a price of 300 yuan per day and temporarily join the fishing army.
At the Yuwan Island Pier, Ye Yuan saw that fifty or sixty people were ready.
He came to the crowd and said to the noisy crowd:
"Everyone, I won't say any more. I, Ye Yuan, thank you all for defending the fishery this time.
When this matter is over, I will treat you all to a good meal, of course, and the bonus will be yours. "
After Ye Yuan finished speaking, everyone laughed sincerely. Whether it was because of the bonus or because they could have a good meal, Ye Yuan didn't know.
Anyway, these people will be very busy in the next few days.
Yu Hongbo and other crew members also gave this fishing a code name, called "Fishery Ground Defense Battle"
. . . . . .
In Landao City, the news of the starfish invasion has been confirmed at this time, and the marine exploration personnel have compiled the final data.
This starfish invasion will affect most of Blue Island. With Pinghai as the center, the starfish invasion range covers hundreds of kilometers.
Colleagues who obtained this information have already made a rough estimate that the number of starfish invaded this time will reach 2,500 tons, which does not sound like a lot, but when converted into kilograms, it is about 500,000 kilograms.
Linhai County has just experienced a typhoon and suffered serious losses. This time it will experience an invasion of starfish.
The relevant leaders of Landao are really worried about whether the farmers in Linhai County can persist.
While everyone was fishing for starfish on a large scale, the acquisition business organized by Wang Yueshan went to Blue Island.
The wholesale price of starfish has dropped from more than ten yuan to only 5 yuan. In this way, fishermen still have many starfish that they cannot deal with.
The arrival of Wang Yueshan and others was undoubtedly a reassurance for the fishermen.
After all, there are so many starfish, and fishermen are worried about sales after catching them. Small seafood merchants have no sales channels at all, and larger ones cannot see the profit of starfish.
And Wang Yueshan's team is like a money-attracting behemoth. They will accept as many starfish as you want, which is a big deal for the fishermen of Blue Island.
Originally, fishermen were too lazy to fish in areas that were not affected by the disaster, thinking it was a waste of gas money. However, after Wang Yueshan and the others did this, the island was completely transformed, so that fishermen from surrounding cities went out to sea one after another.
Although the price of starfish has dropped, there are so many of them that they are still easy to catch as long as you use a low-profile net.
The news that Blue Island was invaded by starfish was spreading on the Internet at the same time.
Now is the age of the global Internet, and many things spread quickly online.
Some countries with rich experience in starfish invasion, such as Japan, have a scholar who published an article online.
"The invasion of Blue Island starfish will bring immeasurable losses to Blue Island farmers"
Once such an article was published, it attracted the attention of Chinese foodies.
You know, China is a big foodie country, and there are only two things in China.
What can be eaten and what cannot be eaten.
A few years ago, crayfish were a disaster, so wouldn’t they be “eaten” by a group of foodies?
Many groups of foodies headed towards Blue Island.
Mukbang, big and small, from all over the country gathered in Blue Island.
Only then did seafood merchants from all over the country react and drove to Blue Island to buy seafood.
But soon they will know that several large fishing teams in Landao City have signed supply contracts with Wang Yueshan, and those waiting for them can only be some retail investors.
. . . . . .
Of course Ye Yuan didn't know about these things, and now everyone on Yuwan Island is taking action.
Boatloads of starfish were transported to Pinghai County, where all the fishermen from the three surrounding counties gathered.
Wang Yueshan's seafood trucks are neatly arranged at the dock. As soon as the fishing boats arrive at the dock, workers on the shore begin to weigh and load the trucks.
Trucks loaded with starfish are sent to all parts of the country.
Wang Yueshan established three acquisition points in Landao.
Originally, some partners did not plan to set up a purchasing point here in Pinghai County. The reason was simple: it was poor and there were few fishing boats.
But what they didn't expect was that Wang Yueshan insisted on setting up a purchase point here regardless of their opposition and took command personally.
Others don't know, but Wang Yueshan knows it very well.
Who makes Ye Yuan the closest to here?
He knew in his heart that there were two large boats on Yeyuan Island, plus some sampans, speedboats, and the fishing capabilities of the two surrounding counties. This should be the largest producer in Landao City.
As time passed, something no one expected happened.
In three days, just three days, almost all the starfish on Blue Island were caught.
I don’t know who put the news online.
The comment section was in an uproar.
"Uncle Fisherman Niux, annihilated the army of millions of starfish."
"What about the promised losses? Why do you think Haixing knew that Blue Island was hit by a typhoon and came here to give gifts?"
"@倭国xxx"
"I thought it was a king, but it turned out to be bronze..."
"This wave of 666"
"It's not enough. It's gone before it arrives. How about another one?"
. . . . . .
On Yuwan Island, Ye Yuan received a call from County Magistrate Zhang: "Xiaoye, thanks to you this time, our county's losses are very small. Many farmers should thank you. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what the consequences would be... .”
"Okay County Magistrate Zhang, I'll hang up if nothing happens. I haven't slept well for two days, and I'm just thinking about it now..."
"Ahem... Okay, then you go and rest. Your health is important. When you have time, come to the county and let's have a good chat."
"Okay, County Magistrate Zhang, bye"
After speaking, Ye Yuan hung up the phone without waiting for County Magistrate Zhang's reaction.
This really wasn't that Ye Yuan didn't respect his leader, but that he was really sleepy.
He hardly slept for two days and one night. Everyone else took turns to rest, and he never got off the fishing boat.
Because he knows in his heart that his perception is the greatest guarantee. He knows the situation of starfish under the sea best. Many fishermen set their nets after his reminder.
These days, it sounds easy, but it is also really tiring.
On the first day, Ye Yuan led everyone on Yuwan Island to catch starfish, but the starfish were like ancient soldiers, crawling fearlessly into the fishing ground.
As soon as they caught a net, the starfish all around them gathered together again. For five hours, Ye Yuan's two fishing boats did not stop fishing.
Fortunately, the entire net bag is made of starfish and does not need to be sorted.
