Eight days later, the number of fish in the autumn fishing season continued to increase, which was unavoidable.

However, a total of 910,000 jin were still salvaged, far exceeding the amount of 660,000 jin.

This incident caused a sensation throughout the region's fisheries bureau.

Chen Ming's face twitched slightly as he looked at the submitted report.

"I never expected that Yang Bai could actually make up for all the missing parts and even exceed the target."

The bet made earlier was ultimately due to a lack of confidence in Yang Bai's strength. Now it seems that we underestimated Yang Bai's strength too much back then.

No, it's not that I'm underestimating him, but rather that Yang Bai's strength is simply too abnormal.

He knows exactly what kind of fish can be found in each sea area, and he knows which ships can maximize profits.

"What a talent!"

He looked at the data with satisfaction.

He asked Zhang Wei.

"What's Zhang Dongying's attitude?"

Zhang Wei laughed.

"The Japanese are very satisfied, praising our speed as not only fast but also of high quality. However, they still have some concerns about the throughput of ports in the region."

"This means that as long as Yang Bai is involved, we can continue to cooperate in the next quarter, but the profit split will still be 30/70."

Chen Ming remained silent. The port's carrying capacity was indeed a pain point for Fuhai, and currently, only Yang Bai was familiar with the sea area from beginning to end.

In other words, this area is a very valuable sea area, but only Yang Bai can dig up this gold mine.

The next step is to further develop the sea area and bring it to the people.

"Understood. Report the message to the commissioner."

"it is good."

Chen Ming walked out of the office and handed the documents over to his superiors.

......

Quanzhou Port.

Hu Changshou's face darkened when he learned that Fuhai had successfully completed the mission assigned by the Japanese.

He slowly crumpled the report into a ball and threw it directly into the trash can.

During the last negotiation with the Japanese side, the Fuhai area was the most prominent.

I had thought that Japan's urgent request for squid might be the best opportunity to strike at Fukukai.

Unexpectedly, Yang Bai's team completed all the expedited orders.

"Yang Bai, just how strong are you really?"

[Ding ding ding]

Hu Changshou's phone rang; these days, not many people have access to telephones.

They are basically for internal use by government agencies or foreign missions; wealthy people can't afford them.

"Could it be a call from the authorities?"

He answered the phone with a puzzled look, and a Chinese voice with a strong Japanese accent came from the other end.

"Director Hu, I am a staff member from Dongyang Fisheries Company. Minister Kimura said that next year we will take the initiative to discuss cooperation with Fuhai area again. If the quality of the fish does not meet the standards this time, it will still be 37% for you and 77% for Fuhai."

Hu Changshou gripped the phone tightly, his eyes filled with rage.

"Okay, I understand."

Hu Changshou hung up the phone.

In recent years, in order to fulfill orders from Japan, they have overfished, and now there are hardly enough fish in the sea for them to catch.

Now the Japanese are discarding their useful tools and turning their backs on them, cooperating with Fukumi in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it, those Japanese are all capitalists. Fuck them."

He kicked the chair, his chest heaving. He hadn't tasted such a nasty treat in all these years.

Hu Changshou had just put down his pen when he heard a rapid knocking at the door. He leaned back in his chair and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

The door was gently pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing a crisp Zhongshan suit with his cloth hat brim pulled low strode in. He was upright and was none other than Li Yuan, the deputy director of the Fisheries Research Institute.

"Director Hu."

Hu Changshou looked up and instantly recognized the person who had come.

Li Yuan has devoted himself to the research of the Quanzhou Port waters for many years, focusing his efforts on fishing ground exploration.

For years, he led his team to repeatedly investigate nearshore waters, but they have been unable to find new high-yield fishing grounds, and their efforts have been fruitless.

Hu Changshou had long since given up hope, but out of respect for the other party's professional authority, he maintained a respectful attitude and never uttered a discouraging word.

"Did Expert Li make a new discovery today?"

Li Yuan couldn't hide his excitement. He stepped forward and slammed a neatly bound exploration report heavily onto the desk, his voice trembling with barely concealed excitement.

"Director Hu, a major breakthrough! We've recently discovered a completely new sea area suitable for development. Once completed, it could increase the city's annual seafood production by 3.8 million jin!"

He spoke rapidly, each sentence packed with bombshell news: "The sea area abounds in high-priced seafood such as large yellow croaker, yellow croaker, squid, grouper, and conger eel, with an estimated total output value of one million!"

At that moment, his eyes shone, his lips curled up, and his face was full of joy at overcoming the problem.

Hu Changshou was taken aback at first, thinking that he had been studying it for too long and had lost his sense of proportion, exaggerating his words. His eyes were full of suspicion.

He bent down, picked up the report, and flipped through it page by page. The exploration data inside was detailed and accurate, the actual photos of the sea area were clear and complete, and every calculation was well-founded.

He vaguely remembered that only a few fishing boats occasionally passed through this sea area in the past, and no one had ever gone deep to explore it. For a long time, it was considered an ordinary coastal area with no development value.

But this report completely overturns previous understanding.

If this high-yield fishing ground is successfully developed, it will greatly alleviate the predicament of depleted aquatic resources and insufficient production capacity in the entire region.

This will help stabilize foreign trade orders from Japan and make Quanzhou a preferred production base for foreign businesses once again.

The most important thing right now is to complete the marine exploration and development layout before the new orders from Japan are placed next year.

Li Yuan pointed to the core content of the report and eagerly requested permission.

"Director Hu, you only need to allocate a 30-ton fishing boat for our exploration operations."

Within six months, I will definitely complete the exploration and data review of all sea areas, and deliver an impressive report card to the city!

Hu Changshou lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, quickly weighing the pros and cons, and immediately made his decision with a wave of his hand, displaying great decisiveness:

"No need for thirty tons. I will directly allocate a main fishing vessel of sixty tons, plus a support fleet of thirty tons, to fully cooperate with your work."

His gaze was sharp, and his tone firm: "Time is tight. We must produce complete, usable, and actionable exploration results before February!"

Upon hearing of such top-tier support, Li Yuan's eyes instantly blazed with fervor, his confidence resounding.

"We guarantee the mission will be completed! The entire project will be finished by February!"

Li Yuan received the transfer order and quickly left the Fisheries Bureau.

.......

Haiba Village.

Yang Bai wanted to adjust his sleep schedule to nighttime, so he was still sleepy and hadn't gone to sleep since he got back.

Su Wanqiu breathed a sigh of relief as she held the suit in her hand. After half a month of work, the suit she had specially designed for Commissioner Chen was finally completed.

"Yang Bai, could you send the clothes over tomorrow? I've finished them."

Yang Bai put down the English version of the Sherlock Holmes stories he was holding, looked at the dark brown suit in Su Wanqiu's hand, and stepped forward to examine it closely.

"As expected of the good material the specialist has, it feels even better than mine."
