Chapter 186 The fish raft owners were almost all caught in one fell swoop.
The latest chapter has ignited the plot! Stay tuned for more updates.
At the time, Zhou Miao knew that he was not yet qualified to contact Yu Muzhou's friends, so he simply interacted with a few coast guards and temporary workers, added each other on WeChat, and agreed to meet up sometime.
Originally, I was thinking that if I encountered any minor issues while at sea in the future, I could offer some assistance.
Unexpectedly, the owners of the fishing rafts started using the same tactics as fishermen to claim territory. Zhou Miao had no reason to be polite; it was a perfect excuse to treat them to a meal.
"That's right! They don't have fishing licenses. How could I forget something so important!"
Luo Hao stood up abruptly, almost knocking over the chair behind him.
"Great! Perfect, we have the fishing license. From now on, this fish trap project, even if it's not exclusive to this fish farm, will at least reduce a lot of competitors." Lu Xingyu's face lit up with joy.
To obtain a fishing license, you must have a fishing boat; small boats are not eligible. Therefore, reporting illegal fishing is indeed effective.
If someone specifically buys a boat and obtains a fishing license for this purpose, then Zhou Miao has nothing to say.
At worst, we can just send more people to patrol the area, and then naturally no one will dare to occupy the territory.
Zhou Miao opened WeChat and found a WeChat account with the nickname Ye Hengyi.
The other person was a squad leader he had met during the last great white shark hunt, and was a few years older than him.
The illegal placement of fish traps without a license falls under the jurisdiction of the fisheries administration department, but the coast guard can also handle it, and has even greater power.
They just don't usually concern themselves with minor matters in the near sea or along the coast.
Their main task is to combat various illegal activities such as smuggling, illegal fishing, and cross-border operations.
Fishermen typically encounter coast guard officers when operating in the open sea, but in coastal waters they encounter fisheries administration law enforcement personnel.
After Zhou Miao told him about the situation at the fish raft, Ye Hengyi immediately said that he would go there with the fishery administration department the next day to take a look, and if it was confirmed to be illegal, they would carry out joint law enforcement.
"All done. The coast guard and fisheries administration will be here tomorrow." Zhou Miao waved his phone at Lu Xingyu. "I'll stay at the fish raft tomorrow and take the customers to put the cages in, so they know which place is safer to fish there, and they can also watch the fun."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xingyu and the others smiled, looking forward to the scene of that scoundrel being dealt with tomorrow.
Listening to the sound of the waves, the night passed by in a flash.
The next morning, Zhou Miao got up early as usual, bought breakfast, and then greeted the tourists.
Since his physical condition improved, his sleep time has decreased significantly, and he can still be energetic even after sleeping only five hours a day.
Today, Zhou Miao didn't go to the mangrove forest to cause trouble, but went directly to the small beach on the east side of the island.
He had caught a lot of swimming crabs here before. Although some of the remaining crabs left due to special circumstances, so much time has passed and some might have returned. So he decided to come here to check on the situation.
If we're free, we simply won't charge you.
The owners of the fish rafts are keeping an eye on the surrounding waters; they have no interest in setting up cages so far away.
Therefore, Zhou Miao easily earned 2,500 yuan in the morning and sold all the profits from the fish traps. However, if the fish traps were empty, he would have to refund the money.
When customers return, Zheng Xiaojia greets them, provides bait, and teaches them how to fish.
Because Lu Xiaoxiao and Luo Qianqian hadn't gotten up yet, she was suddenly busy like a spinning top.
But Zhou Miao didn't go to help. Instead, he moved a deck chair from the wooden house and lay down under the eaves, enjoying the sea breeze.
As the sun rose higher, the entire fishing raft area gradually became lively, with boats everywhere on the water. Zhou Miao also saw many fishing raft owners taking customers to set up fish traps.
Just then, Zhou Miao received a message on his WeChat account.
After reading it, he smirked and quickly went to wake Lu Xiaoxiao and Luo Qianqian up so they could watch the fun later.
It's human nature to enjoy gossip. Even though they were sore and weak, the two of them still got up and dressed very enthusiastically, and the whole room was filled with spring-like light.
Zhou Miao admired the view for a while, then strolled out to start the fishing boat.
Lu Xingyu and Luo Hao's eyes lit up when they saw this, and they quickly ran over.
"Ah Miao, is your friend coming?"
Zhou Miao nodded: "Yes, they are about to set off and will be at the mangrove forest soon."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and wait at sea!" Lu Xingyu urged.
"Each of you take a speedboat and bring your customers along. Just say you're going for a ride on the sea. After things happen over there, just mention that our fishing boats have fishing licenses and can legally use fish traps."
After hearing this, Luo Hao and Lu Xingyu also felt that sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone, so they quickly went to invite the customers to come and see the excitement.
There were no children among the customers this morning, so when they heard there was something interesting to see, they all said they wanted to go.
There wasn't enough room on the two speedboats, so they had to arrange for two young women to come to the fishing boat to join Lu Xiaoxiao and the others.
Zhou Miao led the way, navigating the boat directly towards the mangrove forest.
However, Lu Xingyu and Luo Hao first took the customers for a leisurely stroll on the sea, splitting into three groups, which looked like they were taking the customers to enjoy the sea breeze.
After all, it was Zhou Miao who reported it, so going together would be too conspicuous. It would be more reasonable to bring them together after the incident occurred.
Before Zhou Miao's fishing boat even reached the mangrove forest, he spotted the patrol boat already there.
The fish raft owners who were so arrogant yesterday are now dejectedly collecting their fishing traps, while the tourists on their boats sit obediently to the side.
It's just that you can't see clearly from a distance, otherwise you could see the unpleasant expressions on the faces of those tourists.
"What's going on?" Two female tourists on the fishing boat looked over there curiously.
"They must have been caught illegally setting up fish traps," Luo Qianqian explained, then urged Zhou Miao, "Miao, you should go check on them right away."
"Will we be fine going to this place?"
"Yes, we put out fish traps this morning too!"
The two female customers immediately became worried.
Luo Qianqian quickly explained with a smile, "Don't worry, we have a fishing license, and setting fish traps is legal. Currently, among the fish rafts around here, only ours has a license."
"That's good, that's good."
The customers were relieved. As Zhou Miao sailed over, he also sent a message to Luo Hao and Lu Xingyu.
Upon receiving the news, the two of them immediately turned around and headed towards the mangrove forest.
When the customers arrived at the destination and found that law enforcement had made arrests, Luo Qianqian, like them, explained the situation and dispelled their concerns.
Once these customers leave reviews on the group-buying platform, the advantages of Xuan Gui Fish Raft will immediately become apparent.
But if you want every customer to give a good review, you still need to offer some incentives.
Zhou Miao had already figured out what to do, but for now, he would just watch the show.
That morning, the fishing rafts in Nanzhen suffered a devastating blow. A total of eighteen fishing rafts were destroyed, and thirteen of their owners were imprisoned.
Of the remaining three, one had a fishing license, while the other two were simply lucky; their business was bad and they had no customers, so they escaped unscathed.
The issue of setting up fish traps isn't a big deal; it just means confiscating the tools and imposing a small fine. But it can have a significant impact on business.
All the customers who had already arrived got refunds, which resulted in the few open fish rafts being completely full.
Tingtao Fish Raft, which had been closed for renovations, reopened today and received a large number of customers.
