Chapter 1616: Chapter 1451: Use Someone Else’s (Please Subscribe!)

Whoosh!

A wave surged up.

The seawater flowed over the beach chair.

Then it receded back into the sea. Tang Qing’s hand gently dipped below, a wave of coolness as the retreating seawater brushed against his fingertips. This was Tang Qing’s preferred way of enjoying the beach, placing the chair within the tide’s reach.

Wave after wave rolled in.

Two words.

Comfortable.

At this moment.

A rather large crab attempted to climb up the chair leg but was repeatedly washed away by the waves. Seeing its persistence, Tang Qing felt bad letting down its spirit, so he gently picked it up.

Tossed it to the fighter behind him.

"Steam it later."

"Yes."

Ding Dong: Curiosity killed a crab.

"Boom~"

Thunder rumbled in the distance, with the approaching dark clouds and increasing wind signaling imminent rain. This place was in the tropics, nearly seven latitudes lower than Huaxia’s island province, close to the equator.

Heavy rain was never lacking.

"Tangtang, time to eat."

"Coming."

Tang Qing got up.

The beach chair was put away.

The wind was strong.

To prevent it from being blown away or washed out to sea, though the chance was slim.

He walked into the hotel main building.

Second floor.

The spacious restaurant spanned hundreds of square meters, now only occupied by a few diners including them, and about a dozen waiters, making it quite empty. The table was set with a seafood feast meticulously prepared by Jiao Han’s chef.

Sea Island.

Seafood was naturally the key feature.

And truly.

Under the "ordinary" standard.

The taste was indeed good.

"How is it?" Jiao Han looked at Tang Qing expectantly.

"Not bad," Tang Qing said.

If someone else had said "not bad."

Jiao Han might be displeased, as it was prepared by her highly paid chef team. But after tasting the meals from Tang Family’s home, for Tang Qing to say "not bad" was quite satisfying for her.

"Hehe, that’s good then, just showing off tonight."

"No such thing, thank you, Sister Han, for hosting."

The fact that it’s not as good as home-cooked food is one thing, but being invited to a meal is another. Looking at the table full of seafood, Tang Qing knew that most were imported from abroad.

The same would apply to future guests.

India.

Bangladesh.

Malaysia.

Thailand.

Indonesia.

Even Australia.

The sources were very diverse.

Mostly dependent on imports.

No choice.

Just the coastline of Myanmar and its few fishermen.

Couldn’t possibly supply the current soaring consumption demand. Those coming for treatment had an astonishing high-end consumption capacity. The high-end seafood consumed daily in Xin’an City was equivalent to the entire country’s previous daily catch.

Along with other cities.

Original fishermen were not sufficient at all.

Thus.

Coastal fishing companies rapidly expanded.

Buying boats, venturing out to sea, casting wide nets, even having several skirmishes with Indian fishing boats in the Bay of Bengal. Ridiculously, the enormous Bay of Bengal was almost dominated by Indian fishing boats.

Under such competition.

Ling suddenly ordered.

No large-scale fishing operations were allowed within the 200-nautical-mile Exclusive Economic Zone, especially in Delin Province, from the furthest island to Delin Province’s mainland, the use of large trawler fishing boats was prohibited.

Meanwhile.

Adjustments were made to coastal fisheries.

Prohibiting overfishing.

Enforcing a three-month fishing ban period each year.

Planning seafood aquaculture zones.

Then.

Several strict marine fishery protection regulations were implemented. Fishing companies were quite dissatisfied, and... these companies were invited for discussions, leaving delightfully afterwards.

Because.

They were granted two additional business scopes.

--- Deep Processing of Fishery Products + Seafood Trade.

The first one was understandable.

Under the filing system, the qualification was not easy to obtain.

The second one was what excited them.

They could import seafood and such from other countries, and regardless of the import price, they would receive a certain proportion of import subsidies based on a government-set standard price, which, when calculated --- meant profits.

On top of the legal profits, nearly 10% more profit was added.

As for any catch from the Exclusive Economic Zone.

It received no subsidy.

Additional catches might even attract fines.

As a result.

These fishery companies were greatly motivated to transition from fishing to imports, similar to the United States exporting dollars by purchasing goods globally. The Asia Dollar, of course, wasn’t reluctant in giving a big giveaway.

If you can buy it with the Asia Dollar.

Use others’ resources first.

Nowadays.

Although Myanmar had discovered many oilfields and natural gas reserves, and the quantities were significant, there were no plans for extraction.

They even began sealing wells.

According to the plan.

All resources that could be bought with the Asia Dollar would start transitioning, reducing extraction but retaining extraction capabilities. Simultaneously, focusing the energy on deep processing.

After they finished their meal.

Outside, it had started pouring heavily.

The visibility was limited.

In the mist.

Only the faint glow of streetlights was visible.

"Tangtang, go to bed early." Contact

"Okay."

...

The next day.

After the rain, the sun emerged.

An efficient drainage system meant there was not much mud on the island. The highest point on the island was occupied by ten small wind turbines continuously operating, providing a steady supply of electricity to the island.

Furthermore.

Solar Energy.

Batteries.

Diesel Generators.

None were in shortage here.

Though underwater power optical cables were being laid, and would be completed in a few months, one could never guarantee absolute perfection, so necessary second-hand preparations were mandatory. This was also part of the service quality.

...

After breakfast.

They set off again, boarding Jiao Han’s large yacht, heading to the island that Second Uncle had purchased. Not long after setting off, a video call from Qin Shiqi came in, her little mouth pouting.

Faced with the upcoming National College Entrance Examination, she could only watch helplessly.

Approaching noon.

They arrived at the destination.

In the distance.

A lush green island appeared, alongside a sizable ship.

"That’s used by the project personnel to transport construction materials and also serves as a dormitory," Tang Kai said. To ensure good construction on this island, he directly purchased a ship specifically for this project.

In ten minutes.

The yacht entered this island that Tang Kai spent a fortune on acquiring.

"Truly beautiful."

Inner Bay.

The sea appeared deep blue, indicating deep waters here.

Most of the Inner Bay was deep water, with the rest being beaches, having a natural yacht wharf. The surrounding sloped ridges meant that even the strongest sea winds were significantly diminished by the time they reached the hillside villas.

The Inner Bay was a safe harbor.

What about the Outer Bay?

Shallows.

Coral reefs.

Associated rocky areas.

With varying depths and colors, it was absolutely picturesque island scenery.

"Boss Tang, how much do you plan to charge for staying here a day?" Jiao Han curiously asked. Tang Family members rarely visited, and if it remained completely empty, even if Tang Kai was willing, Delin Province might not be.

"Ten thousand, dollars." Tang Kai raised one finger.

"Can I get a discount?" Jiao Han asked with a playful smile.

"For you, fifty percent off." Knowing Jiao Han wasn’t short on money, Tang Kai casually offered a discount, "Except for that villa." Tang Kai pointed to the colossal villa extending from the hillside to the mountain top.

Comparatively.

Even the second largest was not a third the size.

This was for the Tang Family’s own use.

Not for rent.
