Chapter 1079: Whaling and whale watching

"Brother Peng, there are so many kinds of whales in the Caribbean. How many kinds of whales have you seen?" Sun Pengcheng exclaimed. He is photographing a group of melon-headed dolphins, also called melon-headed whales, which are a small type of pilot whale. whale. It is very similar to the pilot whale, but it is less than half the size of the pilot whale and is more than two meters long.
Xiao Peng lay there playing games, and said without looking up: "The unique geographical location and climate of the Caribbean Sea has caused at least half of the species of whales to be found here. So it was indeed a whale watching spot. More and more problems have been exposed in the year. For example, there are many island countries in the Eastern Caribbean Sea. In fact, most of the countries there have a tradition of whaling. People come to watch whales enthusiastically, but what they see is whaling. , This is embarrassing. For example, there is a country called Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Even if that country is more than 40 square kilometers and two thousand miles away, the per capita GDP is higher than our country. Relying on the whale-watching tourism industry, the result is not good. Some people are desperately developing the whale-watching tourism industry, while the local residents are desperately fishing for whales and dolphins."
Sun Pengcheng asked puzzledly: "Whaling is not allowed in this Caribbean, right?"
Xiao Peng replied: "This country has applied to the International Whaling Commission for the hunting quota of four big-winged whales per year in the name of safeguarding the traditional livelihoods of the aborigines, but they simply ignore this regulation and catch hundreds of dolphins and whales every year. The speedboats and whaling equipment they use are sponsored by the Japanese nation, and the Japanese nation also needs them to vote for the International Whaling Commission and resume commercial whaling permits. Therefore, public whaling over there has become a blind eye. It's a matter of one eye."
After hearing this, Sun Pengcheng said angrily: "This is another ghost of the Japanese country! Why are so many countries supporting the whaling of the Japanese country?"
Yang Meng listened and laughed: "Why don't you be so drunk? I also dislike the whaling of the whaling ship in the whaling country. Back then, we also cleaned up the whaling ship in the whaling country, but there is one thing you have to figure out. The whaling of the Japanese!"
"What?" Sun Pengcheng widened his eyes: "Mengzi, are you kidding me?"
Yang Meng dangling a cigar and said vaguely: "In the last ten years of voting by the International Whaling Commission, our country is in favor of whaling by the country."
Sun Pengcheng looked back at Xiao Peng: "Brother Peng, is what Mengzi said is true?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Uh, unfortunately, what he said is indeed true."
Sun Pengcheng froze in place: "How could this be?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "Don't be so excited. Our country supports scientific fishing, and we oppose the fishing of endangered whale species."
Sun Pengcheng frowned and said, "But that's also whaling. Why should our country support these things?"
Xiao Peng put the game console aside and lit a cigar: "What do you say about this, you must first understand one thing, that is, most of our country’s oceans are continental shelf seas, so whales are in our country’s waters. It’s not very common. Our country does not have a tradition of whaling. So this support does not support whaling. It stands to reason that it has nothing to do with our country."
Sun Pengcheng nodded: "I can understand this. Then, if we don't hunt whaling, we can't support other people's whaling, right?"
Xiao Peng took a sip of his cigar and thought for a while and said: "According to my analysis, there should be two reasons. The first reason is that the world said that there are fewer and fewer fish, and whales eat too much. It is necessary to control the number of fish to protect. You think, these whales and dolphins are in groups, and wherever they go, they can bring destruction to the economic fish in the ocean fishing area. We humans pay attention to modern fishery. 'Catch the big and let go of the small' and stop fishing during the reproduction period of economic fish, thereby protecting the sustainability of marine fishery resources, while whales are just the opposite. They first drive the small fish together and then focus on encircling small fishes wherever they go. Almost completely wiped out."
Sun Pengcheng wondered: "So there was no whaling, and the whales didn't eat all the fish, okay?"
Xiao Peng smiled bitterly: "Don't you say how low people's fishing ability is? You will laugh when you catch ten tons of fish at a time. What now? A net of dozens of tons! It turns out that there is no storage condition, and the fish caught are stinking for two days. Now, and now? There is a place to install as many fish as you catch. So if you want to catch it, after all, it's the whale that wants to make way for humans."
After hearing this, Sun Pengcheng nodded: "What about the second reason?"
Xiao Peng shrugged: "Disputes over interests. You are strongly opposed to whaling in countries like Australia, Brazil, etc., because of the hotter climate and abundant marine fisheries, which can attract all kinds of whales, and the whale watching project every year It can bring them huge profits. In the words of the head of the Latin American branch of the International Foundation for the Protection of Animals, "living whales are more valuable than dead." And our country has no whaling history and culture, and no place to watch whales anyway. This whaling can also guarantee the output of the fishery. Besides, it is the Japanese who is scolded. So if you support it, you will support it. But it is not blind support, such as the proposal of the Japanese trying to develop commercial whale meat and downgrade endangered whale species. The country strongly opposes it."
Sun Pengcheng scratched his head when he heard this: "But I see you do a good job of whale watching tours."
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "That's because I can afford it! If there is no abundant fish in my fishery, how can Sidao Town keep so many whales? If there is no food, the whales will run away early! Our situation in Sidao Town is special. , Stopped offshore fishing and developed aquaculture fisheries and tourism. Believe it or not, if the whales in Sidao Town cause losses to farmers, they will definitely start regardless of how much economic development those dolphins and whales bring to the local tourism industry. Whale hunting. Even if you don’t kill them even if you know it’s illegal, you’ll drive them away. If you don’t hurt your own interests, it’s hello and I’m hello everyone. When you hurt your own interests, you will be selfish. Human nature, everyone on the earth is like this--the same is true for me."
Sun Pengcheng smiled and said: "You are so rich, if you contract the sea area of ​​your town, won't it be all right?"
Xiao Peng shook his head: "I thought about doing this before, and I asked Wenjie to contact me, but do you know how long the coastline of Sidao Town is? And most importantly, these seas have been contracted out! You! Do you know what the price of those farming areas along the coast are? The contract for a piece of sea is a few million, and a ship with 700 horsepower is three million yuan. Now I want to buy it? Which one is The price of sitting on the floor will be doubled on the basis of this price! No matter how rich I am, I can’t afford to be a pig!"
"Ship deed?" Sun Pengcheng puzzled.
Xiao Peng smiled: "Do you think you can go to sea if you have money to build a big ship? Dude, you think too much. The country has requirements for ocean fishing boats. The power of these fishing boats must have a quota, that is, a ship lease. Can not go to sea. This is to control the number of fishing boats. If there is no such regulation, do you believe that the number of fishing boats in our country is more than five times the current? Now it is about four thousand horsepower, and the price is still rising. The boat also needs six or seven hundred horsepower, like our Vladimir, with two 770-horsepower engines, you can calculate how much it costs for a bareboat lease."
Sun Pengcheng blinked: "Let me go, Brother Peng, you are too rich by this calculation? Are all the fishermen in love as invisible rich people?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "This is the case with boats and fishermen who are in the sea. Just sell it for a lot of money."
Sun Pengcheng smiled and said: "Brother Peng, I understand, why there are so many boats parked there, but only this ‘Vladimir’ is engaged in ocean fishing. It turned out to be the reason for the ship’s lease!"
"Huh?" Xiao Peng shook his head after hearing this: "No, no, no, you are really wrong, I'm just being lazy." After he finished speaking, he pouted to Mengzi: "There is this guy, I He doesn't worry about it at all. He takes care of everything."
Sun Pengcheng looked at Yang Meng: "Brother Peng, isn't your housekeeper Old Pan? How did Mengzi solve the problem?"
Yang Meng glared at Sun Pengcheng after hearing this: "What do you mean, kid? Look down on me?"
Sun Pengcheng blinked: "Mengzi, how dare I look down on you? You are definitely the captain of the Qianliyan Security Brigade, Qianliyan’s nuclear weapons, any monsters and monsters will detour when they see you. The first rule of the Qianliyan Island rule is absolute. Don’t give priority to Yang Meng---it’s too lethal."
Yang Meng scratched his head: "I'm going, how come I hear this as if I am not complimenting me?"
"Why isn't it praising you? That's praising you for being brave and invincible!" Sun Pengcheng said quickly.
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "You are too underestimated, why do I dare to play around with confidence? Why is Qianliyan so prosperous now? Do you think it's possible that I can do it alone? I'll just tell you that, look at Qianli Yan, those chickens, sheep, pigs, and the like were all brought in by the magnificent son. He also handled our "Rare Animal Breeding License". As for the ship lease, he also handled it."
After hearing this, Sun Pengcheng curiously asked Yang Meng, "How did you do it?"
Yang Meng said triumphantly: "Once back then, Xiao Peng and I went to the South China Sea to find Zheng Shi’s treasure. When we returned to the island, we caught a lot of stealing boats. I wanted to black out these boats. Come down? As a result, the ship’s lease was not enough, it was cheap at that time, less than 2,000 horsepower, so I hurriedly closed."
"How much did you charge?" Sun Pengcheng asked.
"Thirty-eight thousand horsepower!" Yang Meng stunned, "I almost finished collecting all the rations on our side."
Sun Pengcheng was shocked after hearing this: "What are you doing with so much?"
"Oh, I was silly at that time. Isn't our country's most advanced 055 large-wheel drive with 38,000 horsepower? I think how to build such a big fishing boat in the future. It turned out later that people use diesel boiler engines , Our fishing boats are all diesel engines, and it is useless to get such a large ration. So now a bunch of ship deeds on the island are useless." Yang Meng said lightly.
After hearing this, Sun Pengcheng scolded: "Fuck, you made more than 70 million in this one, so it's useless? Pretending to be X was struck by lightning!"
