Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 1122 Some Ways to Make Money

Ding Xiaoxiang pointed to another sea not far away and told Ding Zhong that the place had been taken down. If necessary, they would build another fish raft later and connect it to the current one. In this way, they could catch a lot of fish.

"This place is really great. If I can take it all, even if I don't need so much, I can make a lot of money by renting it out to others. Moreover, a place like this is very suitable for breeding those very expensive fish. However, for Zhao Dahai, this place doesn't need to be used for breeding fish. It is better, more convenient and more profitable to raise the fish I catch here."

Ding Chongshan has been doing business for many years and can immediately see how good the location of the fish farm is. Other people are unwilling to take over these two places in order to save a little money. In a few years, they may have already started to regret it.

"I don't plan to raise fish, not even those valuable fish. There's really no need to do so. Zhao Dahai can catch a lot of fish outside every day. It's more cost-effective to bring them back here and raise them and sell them at the right time and price."

"correct!"

"Zhao Dahai asked Brother Dawen to come back and say that we can buy some abalone and raise them here."

Ding Xiaoxiang remembered what Ding Dawen had just said to her.

"Oh?"

"Abalone or something?"

"Is Zhao Dahai planning to raise it for many years?"

Ding Chongshan thought about it and roughly knew what Zhao Dahai's plan was. He definitely didn't plan to raise the fish for a few years and then sell them. He might just keep them in a place like a fish farm and raise them for ten, eight or even dozens of years.

"Correct!"

"I'm not thinking about making money in the next few years. In fact, I don't want to sell them to make money. I just want to raise some big abalone to eat in the future or do something else."

"The water here is very deep and of very good quality. We replace a new batch of valuable seedlings every year and wait for them to grow year after year. We don't need to feed them, as long as we can survive."

"In the beginning, there may not be many abalones and they are not particularly large, but after eight or ten years or twenty or thirty years, the size and number of abalones here will be very large. By then, there will be really big abalones, and there will be no problem with a whole abalone."

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded, this was indeed what Zhao Dahai was planning.

It is actually not cost-effective to raise other fish, but Zhao Dahai's idea is really very good. At this time, we can pick some very good abalone seedlings and put them in net cages and soak them in sea water. There is no need for special management. If they can grow up, they will grow up. If they don't grow up, they will die. It is purely natural breeding.

Time is right here, and it would be a waste not to make use of it.

As soon as Ding Xiaoxiang heard what Ding Dawen said about Zhao Dahai's idea, she immediately nodded and agreed.

Ding Xiaoxiang often admires Zhao Dahai's ability to come up with ideas. At first glance, they may seem like something that anyone can come up with, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that they are really amazing.

It is normal to raise abalone in a fish farm, but the main purpose of building this fish farm is to raise the fish caught by Zhao Dahai or the fish caught by the sea fishing boat. Ordinary people really can't think of raising abalone in this place. The key is that Zhao Dahai's purpose is to raise these abalone and wait for ten, twenty or even thirty years to sell them for money.

At that time, the abalone will be very large, very valuable, and most importantly, very rare.

No matter what other fish they are, even the very direct yellow croaker, they are actually not necessary for Zhao Dahai. The same fish are just more valuable, but the valuable ones are natural fish. If these fish are raised in fish farms, the price is a little higher than ordinary fish, but it is not much higher. If you have the time and effort to invest, the cost is far less than going out to sea to make more money.

But abalone is different.

It takes a long time for abalone to grow to a very large size.

The price of abalone is indeed very high, but the truth is that even if you pay a high price you may not be able to buy good abalone, especially a whole abalone, which is a good thing that cannot be bought even with money.

The most amazing thing about Zhao Dahai's idea is that since he has nothing to do, he might as well get some abalone and raise them here. As time goes by, the abalone that survive and grow up will appear in large numbers and will be very large.

"Hey!"

"Zhao Dahai is really amazing. He can come up with such an idea. Why haven't we thought of this?"

“The fish farm wasn’t originally intended to hold other fish.”

"In other words, there is no need to make money by raising fish or abalone."

"Just wait patiently, and you will really be able to get a bunch of abalone in ten or twenty years."

Shi Guangming lowered his head and smoked the hookah vigorously for a long time, then he let out a long sigh.

"what!"

"That's right!"

“This is a really good idea!”

Zhao Shi was very happy.

Ding Xiaoxiang told Ding Chongshan, Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming that when she had some free time in a few days she would go find a batch of abalone seedlings and put them in the net cages in the fish farm.

"correct!"

"There's no need to look for farmed abalone seedlings. You can just collect the wild ones from the sea!"

Ding Chongshan thought of something very important.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang want to raise these abalone not to make money in the short term, but to have an abalone in ten or twenty years.

It’s not that there are no abalone on the fishing boats going out to sea, but the size of these abalone is generally smaller. The really rare ones are the large abalone.

Ding Xiaoxiang just needs to buy this kind of abalone and put it inside the fish fillets.

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"I think what your father said is right. There is no need to look for seedlings from those farms. We can just collect some abalone and bring them here."

"We don't sell these abalone for money. We keep them for ourselves to eat, or to raise for hundreds of thousands of years."

"No one can tell what's going on with those seedlings in the farm."

Zhao Shi agreed very much with Ding Chongshan's idea. There was really no need to buy those seedlings from the farm.

"dad!"

"Don't you collect fish, shrimp and crabs every day? Why don't you just take a look and see if there are any fishing boats catching abalone? If there are, pick out the big ones and the good ones and collect them."

"If it's more, we'll charge more. If it's less, we'll charge less. There's no need to worry too much about the price."

"We can just bring the abalone we collected here and keep them in the cages."

"Don't worry about it. Just live as long as you can." Ding Xiaoxiang glanced at Ding Chongshan.

Abalone is always available, but one thing is that they are mostly large, and the other is that the flatness has to be considered. It is impossible for me to wait at the dock every day.

My father Ding Chongshan collects fish, shrimps and crabs every day, so it is very convenient for him to do this kind of thing.

"This is easy to do."

"Tomorrow when we collect fish, shrimp and crabs, spread the word that if someone catches abalone, they will send it over, and we can just pick them out."

Ding Chongshan nodded. This matter was very simple and anyone could get them. All they needed to do was spread the word that they were buying abalone and that they were sending good varieties at a higher price. As long as someone caught them, they would definitely send them over. There was no need to select them themselves, as those who sent the abalone had already selected them.

Anyway, there is no rush about this matter. Just take as many as you can and pick out the good ones. You can send them here when you receive them.

"We can actually collect the fish from our fish farm. As long as we spread the word, those who have caught good abalone will send them here on their own."

"It's definitely possible to collect it, and I'm worried that I might have collected too much!"

Shi Guangming pointed to the pier of Shijiao Village not far away. There were many fishing boats going out to sea to catch fish, shrimps and crabs. Some even specialized in catching abalone or scallops.

Shi Guangming was not worried at all about not receiving good abalone, but was worried that there were too many abalones sent.

"Grandpa Shi."

"There's no need to worry about this."

"We don't raise any other fish in the fish farms here. We only raise the live fish that Zhao Dahai brought back from his boat. And these fish have to be sold every day."

“There can’t be too many fish left here.”

"We can raise not only several thousand kilograms of abalone, but even 10,000 kilograms of abalone, and it won't affect fish farming."

"Besides, don't we still have a place where we haven't built a fish farm? If you really think there's not enough space, just build a fish pan in that place!"

"First, spread the word that we are going to collect a batch of abalone and other things. The quantity is almost there. If we don't collect any more, that's it."

Ding Xiaoxiang thought this was a good idea.

I, Ding Chongshan, buy fish, shrimps and crabs, but I don't usually buy abalone. It's not that I can't do this, but it's not very convenient after all. The abalone I collect have to be sent here. It would be better to spread the news here at the fish farm and ask anyone who catches good abalone to send it here directly. It would be more convenient for Ding Ailian or Ma Baozhu to collect them and put them directly into the balance.

"dad!"

"Don't do this if you have something else to do."

"Spread the news later, the fish farm here is buying abalone."

"Just send it here!"

Ding Xiaoxiang made up her mind.

Ding Chongshan nodded, thinking that this would be a better and more convenient way to do things.

"what!"

"I can only imagine that in eight or ten years, or twenty or thirty years, there will be a lot of abalone on our fish farm."

“This is a huge thing!”

Shi Jiehua saw that the matter had been settled, and the smile on his face really became more and more. People who go out to sea know that abalone are not rare, but abalone is very rare. Other people who raise abalone have to make money, and they have to make money immediately. It is impossible to raise them for a long time. But people like them, especially Ding Xiaoxiang and Hai Huacao, do not need to rely on this to make money. They can keep raising them until these abalone become abalone.

"Grandpa Shi, Uncle Shi."

"Nowadays, people are not really short of money. It is not difficult to fill their stomachs or live a good life."

"From now on, as long as you keep going out to sea and work hard, you will be able to make money, and the money you make will increase."

"You have to plan for yourself and get some good things to keep in your hands."

"We raise abalone here in the fish farm, but for other things like fish maw, as long as we come across a big fish, we will spend a little more money to buy it and keep the fish maw in our hands."

"Shark fins and the like are even more like this. We don't need to collect the bad ones. As long as we collect the good ones and store them well, we will definitely not suffer any loss."

"Good things are rare, and they are becoming less and less as the years go by, and their prices are bound to be getting higher and higher."

"If we don't have money, we must first take care of eating, but now we have some money, and if we come across such a good thing, we really have to take it."

Ding Xiaoxiang reminded Shi Jiehua and Shi Guangming.

Although some things in the sea are valuable, they are not rare.

Even if there really aren't many, there's still a chance you can buy it.

Large yellow croaker belongs to this category. Its price is very high, but to be honest, such things cannot be stored.

But there are some things that are extremely valuable and rare, and even if you have money you can’t buy them if you want.

Abalone, shark fin or fish maw belong to this category.

One is valuable, one is rare, and the other can be preserved for a long time.

Things like this will become more valuable and rarer as time goes by.

Shi Jiehua and Shi Guangming are both people who go out to sea. Whether it is at the dock or on their own fishing boats, from time to time someone will catch a big fish that can be used to obtain isinglass, or they may come across some good shark fins or something.

Shi Jiehua and Shi Guangming had never thought about this, but after Ding Xiaoxiang said this, they couldn't help but start to think about it carefully. After a while, they found that it was true. Let's not talk about abalone or fish bones for now, but if it is a big fish that can produce fish maw, there will be a few of them in a year, but such fish are relatively large and more valuable, so generally speaking, people will not spend money to buy them, and they will sell them after buying them.

Ding Xiaoxiang's current approach is the correct one. She takes the fish and the fish maw out to dry and preserve it properly. One is that her descendants can eat it during their confinement period. Another is that even if she can't eat so much, the price will definitely be higher in a few years. In other words, she can make money, and she can make more money. These are all the tricks of doing business.

"Zhao Dahai never sold the big croakers he caught when he went out to sea. He kept them all in his own hands and asked someone to take the fish maws and packed them up for storage."

"No one can eat so much fish maw, but if you have something like this in your hands, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money in a few years, and you can make double or even triple the income."

Ding Xiaoxiang was very clear about the fish maws that Zhao Dahai had caught recently in the sea. Even if there were more people, not to mention herself, they could not finish eating them all. However, none of the fish maws were sold and she kept them in her hands, waiting for the price to go up and make money.
