Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

The sea breeze howled on the breakwater.

Su Ruoxue tidied her wind-blown hair and turned to look at Wu Sui beside her.

"You mentioned before that you wanted to get into seafood farming. Have you thought it through?"

Wu Sui nodded and answered loudly into the wind.

"With this plan, once the processing plant is built, relying solely on offshore fishing will result in an unstable supply of goods, so aquaculture is inevitable sooner or later."

Su Ruoxue stepped forward, her tone becoming very serious.

"The aquaculture industry requires a large amount of capital investment in the early stages."

"If you raise ordinary fish and shrimp according to the market, you will definitely be pressured to lower the price by the buyers when it's time to harvest, and you'll be working for someone else all year round."

"If you choose a rare species, not only is the technical threshold high, but you also have to create your own brand and quality."

She pointed to the rolling waves in front of her.

"The most deadly thing is the weather."

"Coastal areas experience typhoons every year. When such extreme weather occurs, if the fish cages break, all the fish and shrimp will escape, and you may lose everything."

"In the aquaculture industry, you either need to scale up your operations, secure an absolutely stable supply of goods, and gain pricing power, or you shouldn't touch it at all."

After listening, Wu Sui didn't rush to refute.

Su Ruoxue truly lives up to her reputation as a businesswoman; she pinpointed the core pain points of the aquaculture industry in just a few words.

He looked at the sea, smiled, and shook his head.

"Sister Ruoxue, I can't do this by myself, and I don't have that much money to throw in."

"I plan to get everyone in the village involved and start a cooperative."

"First, we'll fence off a small area of ​​sea for small-scale trial farming to verify the species and sales channels."

Wu Sui pointed to an open space next to the town's dock.

"The processing plant was small in scale in the early stages, relying on purchasing wild seafood at the dock and focusing on direct sales of high-quality products."

"Once the factory grows bigger and the supply of wild seafood becomes insufficient, the batch of seafood we tested will also be ready for market, which will be just in time to fill the gap."

Su Ruoxue listened quietly, her expression softening considerably.

She originally thought Wu Sui was just young and impetuous, acting on a whim.

In retrospect, he had calculated every step very clearly.

Use processing plants to drive acquisitions, use acquisitions to stabilize the early stage, and then use aquaculture to guarantee the future.

Not only can they make money themselves, but they can also help the villagers get rich together.

"Okay, it's good that you understand." Su Ruoxue didn't try to persuade her any further.

The three walked back along the breakwater, wandered around the town, and specifically looked for a suitable place to open a processing plant.

Taoyuan Town is not very big to begin with. Apart from a few main streets, the rest are all dilapidated old houses and wasteland.

The group finished their tour in less than an hour.

At 2 PM, Su Ruoxue suggested that she wanted to return to Shanghai.

She had a lot of things to take care of at the company, and being able to spare three days to come to Taoyuan Town was already the limit for her.

Wu Sui didn't try to stop them, and personally took the siblings to the city airport.

Before entering the station, Wu Sui asked the two to wait in the car for a while.

Half an hour later, he returned carrying two large red gift boxes and stuffed them into Su Yu's arms.

"Brother Sui, what's this? It's pretty heavy." Su Yu curiously rummaged through the packaging box.

"A few pounds of dried abalone, and some dried sea cucumber, take them back for your uncle and aunt to try."

Su Ruoxue glanced at the label on the packaging box and frowned slightly.

"Ah Sui, this is too expensive..."

"It's not much money." Wu Sui waved his hand. "You've come all this way and helped me a lot. I can't let you go back empty-handed."

"Alright, go on in now. Be careful on the road and keep in touch by phone."

Su Ruoxue looked at Wu Sui intently for a few seconds, then didn't refuse again.

"Okay, wait for my message."

After seeing the siblings off, Wu Sui drove Lin Tao's car back to Taoyuan Town.

By the time I got home, it was completely dark.

Inside the main room, the family was having dinner around the octagonal table.

"Second brother, did Boss Su and the others leave?" Wu Gang asked, taking a bite of rice.

"Hmm, we should be in Shanghai by now." Wu Sui picked up a piece of salted fish with his chopsticks, not giving it much thought.

Wang Feng came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of green vegetables and casually asked a question.

"Ah Sui, when you took them to the city, didn't you buy them any local specialties to take back with them?"

"I bought them," Wu Sui mumbled through his rice. "I bought ten catties of dried abalone and sea cucumber."

Wang Feng's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"That thing must be expensive, right? How much did it cost?"

Wu Sui swallowed the food in his mouth and held up two fingers.

"Twenty-two thousand."

blah blah blah!

Wang Feng dropped her chopsticks on the table, completely stunned.

Li Cuihua almost choked on the soup she had just drunk, and coughed violently.

"Twenty-two thousand?!" Wang Feng's voice rose eight octaves, sharp and piercing.

"Second brother, isn't this gift a bit too extravagant?"

"We work ourselves to the bone at sea and only earn a pittance? And with one slip of your hand, half of it's gone!"

Li Cuihua also recovered and slapped her thigh in distress.

"Ah Sui, this gift is way too extravagant!"

"That big boss has eaten all sorts of delicacies, why would he care about your 20,000 yuan worth of dried goods?"

Although Wu Jianguo didn't say anything, his brows furrowed into a knot.

Twenty thousand yuan could build a large brick house in the village.

Wu Sui put down the bowl and wiped her mouth with a tissue.

"Sister-in-law, Mom, you've got the accounts wrong."

He glanced around at his family members at the table.

"Her willingness to come to our shabby town for an inspection is the biggest opportunity for our family, and even for the entire Taoyuan Town."

"When people invest in a project, it's often in the millions or tens of millions."

"Putting aside the gifts people bring to our home, just because they're giving me face by coming to participate in the Fishing Festival, we can't be stingy."

Wang Feng wasn't actually upset about Wu Sui spending money; he just felt it wasn't worth it.

Those dried goods only fetch a few dollars in the village, but Wu Sui spent so much money buying them in the city.

Those hands are so big!

Wu Jianguo picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

"The second brother is right. The fact that the big boss came is a big favor to us."

"After being delayed for a few days, we can't let them leave empty-handed. The second brother did the right thing."

"Eat, eat; money is meant to be spent."

The wind was still blowing at night, making the windows rattle loudly.

Chen Xue coaxed Ya Ya to sleep, then snuggled into bed and leaned on Wu Sui's shoulder.

"Ah Sui, you spent so much money on gifts, did you already know that Boss Su would invest in us?"

Wu Sui reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, shaking his head with a smile.

"There's no such thing as a 100% accurate prediction in business."

Whether an investment deal can be finalized depends on whether it can generate profit.

"They genuinely consider me a friend, so I can't be stingy, can I?"

He looked at the dark roof.

"However, Su Ruoxue is a smart woman. After watching the opening of the fishing festival, she will reassess the value of our Peach Blossom Town. At that time, money will naturally come chasing after us."

Chen Xue only half understood what he was saying, but she felt that her husband spoke with great confidence.

She snuggled closer to Wu Sui, her hands starting to wander.

Wu Sui instantly perked up, and with the sea breeze, the small bed didn't quiet down until dawn...
