Chapter 21

At Fishing Bay Island, various construction machines were busy at work, thanks to the government's efforts.

The villagers of COM heard that the island had been leased by Ye Yuan, and that they could continue working there in the future, so they were very cooperative. Within a few days, except for Ye Yuan's family and his second uncle's family, everyone else had moved out.

Ye Yuan's aquaculture farm had already been established, and the procedures and some recruitment work were entrusted to his father and second uncle.

Due to the construction on the island, Ye Yuan decided to gather the workers in Pinghai County and invited professional professors from his alma mater to teach the villagers some aquaculture experience and techniques.

His father also arranged a position of farm manager for himself, appointing the second uncle as deputy manager. Ye Yuan didn't pay much attention to these. As long as his father was happy, he knew that this aquaculture farm would not lose money.

He just told his father that the workers' wages would be set at 4,000 yuan per month. It wasn't that Ye Yuan didn't want to pay more; he understood the saying that "a small favor is appreciated, but a big one is resented."

Several things were happening simultaneously.

The first was to have Ding Yi and the others take the yacht to a shipyard on Blue Island for modification. They installed a crane at the stern to make it look like a trawler.

When the shipyard saw such a luxurious cruise ship being converted into a trawler, the designer exclaimed that it was a waste. However, there was nothing they could do; the customer is always right. Since the customer had the money, they could modify their boat however they wanted, right?

The second thing was the establishment of his brother-in-law's company. His brother-in-law completed all the procedures in just one day, which was also thanks to the deputy county magistrate who signed the contract with Ye Yuan. Upon hearing that this company was established to build Fishing Bay Island, he gave the green light, saving his brother-in-law a lot of time.

After that, his brother-in-law gathered many people who usually did odd jobs and formed the "Chenghui" Construction Company.

On the day the company was established, they began transporting various construction materials to the island. By now, they had transported a lot of materials. Ye Yuan directly gave his brother-in-law 50 million, which was the fundamental reason he could establish the company so quickly.

Ye Yuan instructed his brother-in-law to start construction on the villa, dormitories, cold storage, and the dock simultaneously, as these were the most urgent needs on the island.

The power supply on the island had always been a headache for the Ye family village. Through his second uncle, Ye Yuan bought a set of high-efficiency generators. The installation personnel guaranteed that this set of generators would have no problem supplying power to the entire island.

The water supply on Fishing Bay Island was easy to solve. There was a mountain in the south of the island with a spring. They hired some workers to channel the spring water into a large filtration tower, and the pipes were directly connected to the living area for drinking water. For some daily use, Ye Yuan had a seawater desalination system built.

These things were happening simultaneously over a few days, and now the island was a bustling scene.

Ye Yuan gave some data about Fishing Bay Island to Zhao Chuan and asked him to help find a designer in Shangjing. In the end, Zhao Chuan found a designer who had won awards to help with the design. When Ye Yuan saw the final design, he couldn't believe that Fishing Bay Island would be so beautiful.

After receiving the blueprints, Ye Yuan handed them to his brother-in-law and asked him to construct according to the plans.

...

Ye Yuan drove to a sea cucumber seedling breeding base in Blue Island City. This base was an experimental base of Blue Island Marine University.

Yesterday, he called his mentor from his college days and explained the current situation.

His mentor was very concerned and helped contact a professor in marine aquaculture, who gave several suggestions on suitable marine products for Ye Yuan to farm and introduced him to the base.

Ye Yuan drove his F-150 to the breeding base.

The base manager warmly welcomed Ye Yuan. After the introduction, Ye Yuan learned that sea cucumbers were generally farmed in net cages.

Ye Yuan had the idea of free-range farming, using reefs for cultivation. The main reason was that he had a trump card in his hand.

The price had already been negotiated before he arrived. Ye Yuan bought 2 cm sea cucumber seedlings at 0.4 yuan each, a total of 100,000 seedlings.

He had the workers load the 100,000 seedlings into the back of his F-150. When the manager saw this, he was shocked, thinking, "I wonder which rich second generation this is."

After loading the seedlings, he paid and left. On the way back to Pinghai Town, he found a deserted area and directly threw all the seedlings into the fish farm space.

He used points from the积分商城 to exchange for sea cucumber growth feed.

This was the reason why Ye Yuan wanted to farm sea cucumbers.

The system's description for the sea cucumber growth feed was:

"Sea cucumber growth feed, accelerates sea cucumber growth, and improves nutrition."

Such a good thing, not to exchange it would be a waste.

He spent 1,000 points to exchange for 10 bags. After pouring the feed into the fish farm, Ye Yuan left the space and drove back to Pinghai County.

These past few days, Ye Yuan had been very busy. He hadn't gone out to sea once in a week. Today, his "Water Control" yacht had been modified and was already back, parked at the newly built dock.

The new dock at Fishing Bay Island had many more berths and high-efficiency specialized loading and unloading equipment.

With the construction of more equipment and buildings, Ye Yuan found that his account had less than 20 million left. It seemed he needed to go out to sea to earn money. Recently, he had been busy with the island's construction, spending money like water, but with no income. He asked Ding Yi and the others to go to Pinghai County to purchase supplies and fill the diesel tank of the newly modified fishing boat.

Ye Yuan found his parents and told them that he needed to go out to sea, perhaps staying for a few days. He would leave the family in the hands of his brother-in-law and parents, and they could call him on his satellite phone if there were any emergencies.

Cell phones don't have signals at sea, so many fishing boats are equipped with satellite phones.

His parents agreed and told him to be careful.

With the farewell of the whole family and his second uncle, Ye Yuan set out to sea with Ding Yi, Ding Er, and Ye Zhuang.

Ye Yuan had never gone out to sea before, and this was his first real long-distance sea trip. He was a bit nervous, and the boat was driven by Ding Yi. Ye Yuan told Ding Yi that after this trip, he should get a boat driving license. Although no one checks on the sea, the consequences of being caught driving without a license could be serious.

Because they were going out to sea, Ding Yi and the others had prepared ample supplies, enough for four people for a month.

The boat sailed for six hours, and it gradually got dark. After dinner, Ye Yuan asked Ye Zhuang and Ding Er to go to rest.

Ding Er didn't need to rest, but when Ye Zhuang was around, Ding Er would return to the rest cabin to pretend.

Ye Yuan sat cross-legged in his luxurious bedroom and practiced the "Water Control Technique." He had a feeling that he would definitely break through today.

As the technique ran, he slowly felt that the previously unclear, gauze-like layer gradually became clear.

One hour, two hours, three hours. Just as Ye Yuan was about to give up, the gauze-like layer disappeared, and the second layer of obscure characters, like tadpoles, flowed into Ye Yuan's mind.

Like the first time, the third layer of the technique was blocked by another gauze-like layer, making it unclear.

The first two layers of the technique merged into a more complete cultivation system. Previously, the energy in his body circulated through his limbs, but with the added technique, it also had to circulate through several acupoints in his head. He ran the new technique once.

With the new technique, Ye Yuan could clearly perceive everything in the sea. Previously, he had to go into the sea to see the conditions with his own eyes, but now, he could perceive the scenery hundreds of meters below the sea while sitting on the boat.

It was a very magical feeling, as the underwater scenes appeared in his mind, and the things he saw with his eyes also appeared in his mind.

At first, Ye Yuan was a bit unaccustomed to seeing two images at the same time. After a long time, he gradually got used to this feeling.

Looking at the time, it was already midnight, so he didn't continue. Seeing the black dirt on his body, he went to the bathroom to clean up and then lay down on the big bed to sleep.
