Lu Ao has been busy recently and has really forgotten about Lin Dawu. After Lin Manzhang mentioned it, he finally remembered that he could ask this old fisherman.

After thanking Lin Manzhang, Lu Ao and Song Zhou went home. It was already late. He finished washing but did not go to bed. Instead, he turned on the computer and looked up information.

Chongxin Village is relatively remote, and there is relatively little written information. Even after searching for a long time, nothing specific was found. Seeing that he was not going to sleep until 11:30, Song Zhou pinched his neck.

After he was put into bed and went to sleep, Lu Ao could only wait until daytime to ask the leader again.

After getting up and having breakfast the next day, before he could set out, he received a call from Weng Qian.

As soon as Lu Ao picked up the answer, Weng Qian inquired over there, "Lu Ao, I heard that you want to build a marine ranch recently?"

Lu Ao heard the rising tone of his voice and smiled when he spoke. He sat on the chair and asked lazily, "You are very well informed. I have just started making plans. How do you know?"

"Hey, hey, I have my own information channel." Weng Qian asked, "How is your ocean ranch doing? What are you planning to raise? Are you short of money?"

"I haven't decided what to raise yet, but I might raise some lobsters, abalones, sea cucumbers, etc." Lu Ao turned on the loudspeaker and put his phone aside, "There is no shortage of money. Why, do you want to invest?"

"If you want it, I will definitely invest. One million, no problem. I believe you."

Lu Ao smiled but didn't take it seriously, "No more chatting, what are you doing with me today?"

"No nonsense, I really want to invest in you. If you don't need my investment, we can also cooperate when seafood is produced in the future. Our hotel has now developed a fresh food service, the kind of offline food delivery.

Your seafood can be sent to us for sale."

Only then did Lu Ao realize that Weng Qian had come to pick peaches in advance.

He was not angry and asked Weng Qian, "Do you trust me so much?"

"Of course, we have been good friends for such a long time. If you don't trust me, who do you trust?" Weng Qian said, "To be honest, I think if you really succeed, this cooperation will have great potential. You will produce the product, and I will provide the channel."

, none of us suffers."

"Well, let's wait until it's done. If we need channels, I will come to you as soon as possible."

"Then when your marine ranch is built, let's see if we sign a supply contract? Don't worry, whether it's acquisition or division of accounts, I will definitely not let you suffer a loss."

"It's too early to say this now. We'll talk about it after it's done."

"Okay, then do you need to invest? I checked, your ocean ranch is very expensive, right? I have millions of spare cash here. If you want, I can invest in it first."

"No need for the time being." Lu Ao said casually, "Songzhou has money."

"Tsk, this dog food-" Weng Qian said, "Then I'll wait for your news."

"no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ao simply made a note of the matter.

I don’t know what the situation will be like after his ocean ranch is built. The initial output of the ocean ranch is not high. Instead of finding a fishmonger or selling it yourself, it is better to cooperate with Weng Qian and use his channels.

It's too early to say this now, we have to wait until there are real gains.

Lu Ao drove to the town. Lin Dawu was still guarding his small grocery store. When he saw Lu Ao's car, he poked his head out of the grocery store and asked, "Is Lu Ao here?"

"Brother Dawu." Lu Ao lowered the window, "I'll park the car first."

"Just park across the street. I received a pack of ganpu tea from an old friend two days ago. I'll make the tea and you can try it."

When Lu Ao saw Lin Dawu's figure disappearing quickly, a smile appeared on his face.

By the time he parked the car and entered the grocery store, Lin Dawu had already made tea and was waiting.

Gui Yandan was also there and enthusiastically asked him to sit down, "Xiao'ao hasn't been here for a long time. What have you been busy with recently?"

"I want to open a marine ranch recently, but I haven't chosen an address yet. I'll come here to ask my sister-in-law and Brother Dawu for advice."

Gui Yandan didn't know why. He looked at him and then at Lin Dawu and asked: "Sea, what is the sea?"

"Ocean ranch." Lin Dawu took over, "It's just like those ranches on the ground where cattle and sheep are raised."

Gui Yandan was unconvinced, "You know again?"

"Of course I know." Lin Dawu shook his head, "My son told us, but you forgot."

When Gui Yandan heard that it was his son, he stopped making excuses and asked with a smile: "Then what are you raising in the sea? Raising ducks and geese?"

Lu Ao said: "Maybe we can raise some sea cucumbers, abalones, and lobsters. I'm not sure yet. I have to determine the sea area first to see what is suitable for raising in that sea area. I'm not very familiar with the sea area here, so I have to ask Brother Dawu to give it to me.

Please give me some suggestions.”

Lin Dawu understood the purpose of his visit this time, poured him a cup of tea, and said thoughtfully: "I think you mainly choose shallower sea areas for raising these things, preferably with reefs underneath."

"Yes, I will also have to place some artificial reefs and plant some corals, seaweeds, seaweeds, etc. It will definitely not work in places that are too deep." Lu Ao said, "It would be best if it can be connected to the island. It will be easier to build when the time comes.

Ground facilities are not that safe on a ship."

They encounter countless typhoons every year. If the high-tech equipment is placed on the ship, it will have to be moved to the shore as soon as the typhoon hits. Otherwise, everything will be over as soon as the typhoon blows over.

Lin Dawu tapped his fingers on his knees and was thinking.

Lu Ao didn't rush him and let him think quietly.

After thinking for a while, Lin Dawu said: "I know a few places near the island, but I don't know what the underwater conditions are like. We rarely went into the water when we were fishing. If you are interested, I will take you there.

You go over and take a look."

"Okay, please."

"We won't talk about this. Are you free now? If you are free, we can go over and take a look now."

"Now?" Lu Ao paused while drinking tea, "Don't you still want to look after the store?"

Gui Yandan answered quickly from the side: "You go about your business, I can just look after the store by myself."

Lin Dawu also said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. It happens to be a good day. I'll go for a run with you."

Lu Ao's boat was parked at the town's dock. It was filled with fuel and ready to go at any time.

Hearing this, he didn't hesitate much and immediately said: "Then let's drive to the dock. My boat can be used now."

"Okay, is your equipment on the boat? If so, it's time to change the equipment and dive into the water to see what's going on."

"Yes, no problem."

Lin Dawu often sailed boats in the wind and waves in his early years, and he was very coveted for the big ship Lu Ao. He did not have a driving license for a big ship, so it was not easy to get started, so he just watched Lu Ao sail from the side.

"Your boat is really good. It's worth it for a person to earn such a boat in his lifetime."

Lu Ao smiled.

The location of the island is all in Lin Dawu's mind.

More than half an hour later, they arrived at the first location.

Lin Dawu pointed to the deserted island the size of a basketball court in front of him and said, "This island is called Haixin Island. We used to come here quite often to pick cauliflower."

Lu Ao did not dare to drive the boat too close for fear of running aground.

A few dozen meters away, he stopped the boat, untied the boat at the stern and took Lin Dawu ashore.

Before he even reached the shore, he felt that this island might not be suitable. The water here was too shallow. The outside of the island extended seven or eight meters, and it was a shallow water area of ​​less than two meters.

He didn't even need to change his equipment. He just dived down with bare hands and took a look. There was sand all around, no fish, and the sea water was relatively turbid. It was definitely not suitable for building a marine ranch here.

He inspected the area and went to the second location with Lin Dawu.

The conditions at the second location are not good either. The water is too deep, the current is a bit fast, and there are undercurrents underneath. The water is very turbid, so it is not suitable here.

Then they went to the third location, the fourth location, the fifth location... They visited thirteen locations in a row until nightfall, when they returned to the town.

None of these ten locations are suitable, not even barely suitable.

Lu Ao didn't expect to be stumped in the first step, and felt a little frustrated.

Lin Dawu did not expect that the requirements for building a marine ranch would be so high. The several locations he took Lu Ao to were, I dare not say, more than adequate for raising fish rafts.

Lu Ao was not satisfied with these places. For a moment, he couldn't think of any place that could better meet Lu Ao's requirements.

After he got off the boat, he comforted Lu Ao, "Today is only the first day. It's not surprising that you can't find it. People say that good things are hard work. If you want to search for a few days, you can find it. I'll help you ask a few old friends tonight. They have been here all the time."

You may be more familiar with maritime activities than I am."

Lu Ao nodded, "Brother Dawu, please, I'll ask again."

"No trouble, what's the trouble? But we have visited all the suitable places nearby. If we can't find it again, we may have to look farther away."

Lu Ao actually didn't want to go too far. If he went too far and couldn't get back by boat within a day, it would be a bit boring.

Not even if you can teleport.

Seeing that he was not very interested, Lin Dawu suddenly had an idea.

"Speaking of which, what do you think of the sea outside Luwu Village, especially the mountain side where you live?"

Lu Ao failed to follow his train of thought for a moment and turned to look at him.

The more Lin Dawu talked about it, the more he thought it was feasible. He gestured, "Look, there is a reef area outside your village, and the water next to it is also deep. Didn't you say that the water is deeper than the shallower? We have swam there before, and there are

The average water depth there is about twenty or thirty meters."

Lu Ao often fished there last year and knew the situation there very well. He recalled it for a moment and then nodded, "Yes, the shallow area is only seven or eight meters."

Lin Dawu became happy, "Look! There is still a mountain next to you. Didn't you say you want an island to build ground facilities? If you open the marine ranch there, then your facilities can be built directly on the mountain. What's more?
