Chapter 412 Fishery Changes

The conflict at the Qiandui Fishing Ground broke out in an incredible way and ended in an even more incredible way. The two parties to the conflict quickly reached a settlement, and even the South Island Fisheries Department took the lead in issuing a statement pointing out that this was just an accident. event.

Their statement obviously aroused strong dissatisfaction among South Island senior officials, but they remained unmoved.

There is no way. Those in power who are high up in the temple cannot know the difficulties faced by the people working below. They want to be tough and drive away all other fishing boats that come to fish. But the problem is, they dare ?

My own ship is only two thousand tons, but other people's ships are ten thousand tons.

Moreover, it also carries naval guns.

Are you kidding me, a coast guard ship with naval guns?

People's current attitude is considered polite, so let's borrow Poxiadonkey. If they really break up, who will be better off?

As a result, within a period of time, this fishing ground was directly transformed from an exclusive fishing ground into a public fishing ground, and the impact of this change was unprecedentedly huge.

The most significant change is that fishermen in the South Island suddenly began to lose money.

Qianzhen Fishing Port.

Liao Huazhi is an old fisherman who has been fishing all his life. With decades of hard work without rest, he finally bought his first fishing boat when he was nearly 60 years old. This fishing boat is almost empty. His entire family fortune, but at the same time, this ship also brought him huge income.

Finally, he no longer has to work as a sailor to earn a fixed salary of several thousand yuan per trip like before. As long as he goes to sea, all the fish he catches are his own. Even sometimes, if he catches high-quality tuna or salmon, , his income can even be doubled several times.

Therefore, he cherished the fishing boat he named "Nana" very much. Every time he returned to port, he would clean every corner of it with water. He even wanted to wipe off the water stains on the fishing boat himself.

His family also likes this fishing boat. For his children, this fishing boat has greatly improved the family's economic conditions. The sons who originally worked in the north of the island all have the idea of ​​inheriting their father's business.

For my granddaughter who is under ten years old, occasionally taking a boat out to sea is an absolutely novel experience. She has watched the spectacular sunset on the boat, and also caught strange fish from the deep sea with her own hands, which gave her Countless bragging rights in front of classmates.

Everything seemed to be going in a good direction, as of half a month ago.

A large number of fishing boats suddenly flooded into the shallow fishing ground. These fishing boats have more advanced equipment, more professional crews and higher fishing efficiency.

Under their impact, the situation of this fishing ground with rich fishery resources suddenly became difficult. The most intuitive feeling is that in the past, the Nana could earn tens of thousands of dollars on a single voyage with only a few sailings, but now, it barely consumes fuel. There is no way to fight evenly.

More and more of our peers began seeking to reach other fishing boats, but after a brief period of exploration, they found themselves with almost nowhere to go.

Almost all of those familiar fishing grounds have been occupied, and the situation is no different from that of Qiandui Fishing Ground. How about opening up new fishing grounds?

This is definitely not what little people like them can do.

Liao Huazhi sat dejectedly on the deck of the fishing boat, watching the sun gradually setting on the sea, and suddenly felt a sense of desolation in his heart.

Whose fault is this?

alone?

Maybe I shouldn’t be so radical as to buy such a fishing boat. Maybe I should be an ordinary fisherman instead of a captain. Maybe I should listen to my son’s advice and open a convenience store.

However, I just want to own a boat of my own, and I just want to take a step closer to my life. Is this wrong?

If it's not my fault, is it the other side's fault?

However, they are indeed just fishing normally.

Qiandui Fishing Ground is a traditional fishing ground in the South Island, but the so-called "fishing ground" is just a division of an operating area, and it is not something with strict ownership rights like land.

So, if they want to come here to fish, can they say no?

So it's a problem with the Fisheries Department?

Should they proceed from the interests of their own fishermen, drive each other out of the fishing grounds, and resolutely defend their own exclusivity of the sea?

This doesn't seem to work either.

I had witnessed the whole process of that conflict with my own eyes. Although I did not participate, I could still feel the sense of oppression coming from the 10,000-ton coast guard ship.

There is nothing they can do.

Liao Huazhi sighed again. His son beside him couldn't help feeling a little distressed when he saw his expression, but then he said angrily:

"These mainland fishermen are so disgusting. They clearly have their own fishing grounds, but they still insist on coming to steal food from us!"

"It's okay now, but everyone has no food to eat! If we can't catch fish, can they catch fish? It's really annoying!"

Hearing his words, Liao Zhihua shook his head and replied:

"It's not their fault, they also need to eat. These days, everyone is having a hard time."

"But they obviously didn't come here to eat, they just came to ruin our jobs!"

"You can't say that."

"Why can't you say that? Dad, it has been said in the news that they came to Qiandui Fishing Ground this time to deliberately target our distant water fisheries. And this situation does not only happen in Qiandui Fishing Ground, but also in other fishing grounds. This is not Is it intentional?"

"So what if it was intentional? What can we do? Are we going to hit them with our ship? You know what happened last time. What's the result? Shouldn't we let it go?"

"But they must at least give us a way to survive!"

Liao Huazhi smiled bitterly and replied:

"You earn your living by yourself. Think about it, if our Fisheries Department also had a 10,000-ton ship, would they still dare to rob our fish so unscrupulously?"

"That's the truth. But, I don't understand, why do they do this?"

Hearing this, Liao Huazhi looked at his son in surprise, and then asked:

"you do not know?"

".You mean."

There was a look of disbelief in his son's eyes. After a moment of pause, he continued to ask:

"But what's the point of doing this? If they really want to do that, they can just bring the warship over! Can we still defeat them?"

"But they just don't want this. They want to defeat us morally."

"You have robbed us of our jobs and left ordinary people like us without food, and you still want to defeat us morally? How is this possible?"

Liao Huazhi shook his head and replied:

"If things are really as I think, then I'm afraid they won't stay at Qiandui Fishing Ground all the time. Just wait, there will be news soon, and a deal will be concluded soon."

The son was still doubtful about his words, but while the two were talking, a group of people in the distance suddenly gathered around him, and one person in the middle was still loudly announcing the news he had seen.

"...They are leaving! But they are not leaving completely, there are conditions! The other party's Fisheries Bureau is already negotiating with our Fisheries Bureau, and the result is expected to be in the next two days!"

"We can go fishing again soon, and we will make money again!"

Hearing this, Liao Huazhi and his son looked at each other, with a "I knew it was so" smile on his face.

Just an hour before they received the news, the Fisheries Administration and Fisheries Administration completed discussions on the first phase of the agreement.

The content of the agreement is simple, but also sharp:

The Shuangdao Fisheries Federation needs to be disbanded and reorganized into the Cross-Strait Fisheries Federation.

Both sides need to reach new fishing regulations and redefine their respective fishing areas.

Both parties need to reach an agreement on aquatic product markets and prices, and have priority purchase rights for their respective catches.

The signing of these three agreements seems unremarkable, but everyone knows that this will be the first clarion call for mainland China to enter the South Island fisheries.

After this, offshore fisheries, an important pillar industry in the South Island, are likely to lose their original status.
