My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 95: Two Investment Options

Chapter 97: Two Investment Options

Lu Xingyu looked at the spicy Wangchao that was being offered to his mouth, but decided to back down and eat it.

It was mainly Lu Xiaoxiao's choice that made him, as the older brother, unable to stand up for himself.

After all, his good brother was willing to take responsibility, but unfortunately, his sister made the wrong choice.

You can't force Zhou Miao to never get married, just for his sister's sake!

It was with these thoughts in mind that Lu Xingyu softened his attitude and chose to compromise.

After eating the sea bream, the tense atmosphere immediately returned to normal.

When Lu Xiaoxiao saw this, she knew that her brother had chosen to compromise and let her have her way. A complicated look flashed across her face, but it quickly disappeared.

As Luo Hao brought out the dishes one by one, everyone stopped fooling around and sat down to enjoy the delicious food tonight.

Luo Hao raised his juice and clinked it against Zhou Miao's: "Miao, shall we go out to sea tonight and catch some more mantis shrimp?"

"Tonight is probably not a good time," Zhou Miao shook his head.

"Why is it inappropriate?" Lu Xingyu asked quickly.

Hearing that they were going to catch tidal borers that night, he was also a little tempted and planned to go along to make some money.

Since arriving in Nanzhen, he has been spending money without any income. Although he has savings and is not under much pressure, he still feels a little uneasy.

"When I was collecting the traps this morning, I noticed that there seemed to be someone on the deserted island. Considering what happened to you, I suspected that the person hiding on the deserted island was suspicious, so I went to the police station."

"If there really is a problem, we probably can't go there now."

After Zhou Miao finished speaking, he picked up a blanched sea bream, dipped it in some sauce, and gulped it down in one go.

As he tasted the burst of juice after biting into the sea bream's head, he felt once again that it was very reasonable for this thing to be sold at such a high price. It was so fresh!

"Damn, no wonder we haven't caught them for so long, they've been hiding on a deserted island." Lu Xingyu was a firsthand witness, so he naturally knew more than Zhou Miao.

He knew that the fishing boats he had encountered before were smuggling boats, and they had cooperated in identifying faces yesterday, but he had never seen those two people before and could not provide any useful information.

"What's going on? Tell me in detail." Luo Hao's curiosity was piqued, and he quickly asked.

The people on the fishing raft were discussing the smuggling case, while on the nameless deserted island, the group in the cave had all been captured and sent to the ship one by one.

Police then ventured deeper into the cave and discovered two generators, three large freezers, and some rice, flour, and cooking oil.

Of course, dozens of barrels of diesel fuel, which power the generator, were also found here, more than half of which were already empty.

"With such thorough preparation, no wonder we failed to catch them the last two times. If it weren't for the fishermen providing clues, they would most likely have escaped again this time."

"There's no other way; manpower is limited. Maritime patrols are busy enough; it's impossible to search every deserted island."

"This is why the country encourages fishermen to go out to sea. In the past, it was to prevent infiltration, but now it can also provide useful clues."

After tallying the supplies displayed outside, the police officers began to open the freezers one by one and inspect the smuggled goods inside.

When they opened the freezers, they discovered that the contents of the three freezers were all different.

The first ones are ivory, rhinoceros horn, pangolin scales, and hawksbill turtle products, which do not actually need to be refrigerated.

However, refrigeration can slow down the odor, inhibit the growth of microorganisms, and reduce the risk of being investigated.

The second freezer contained a large quantity of truffles and rare fungi.

Upon seeing the contents of the third freezer, the three officers frowned.

Inside are gene samples of rare species, embryos and tissues of endangered species, which can only be preserved and kept alive in a low-temperature environment.

The most profitable items are the smuggled goods in this freezer, which are mainly used for illegal scientific research and black market transactions.

Clearly, Dao Ge and his gang knew that it was very difficult to smuggle large quantities of common frozen products now, so they opted for the high-end route.

Small quantities are easier to store, and the profit margin is also greater.

They had succeeded twice, but in the end they encountered someone who was cheating.

The news broke overnight after such a major case was solved.

Unfortunately, it wasn't entertainment news, so it didn't cause much of a stir online.

But the next day, as soon as Zhou Miao got up, he saw Lu Xingyu rushing into his house with breakfast on his face, followed by Lu Xiaoxiao.

"Ah Miao, look! They really caught the smuggling gang on that deserted island you mentioned last night."

Zhou Miao curiously took the phone he handed her and started reading the related reports.

A major smuggling ring was busted on a deserted island in the waters off Nanzhen; the amount of smuggled goods involved was shocking.

"Wow, they acted really fast. The clues I provided this afternoon were solved by tonight."

The news report mentioned that, based on clues provided by fishermen, the police arrested seven suspects in a cave on an unnamed deserted island and seized endangered animal products such as ivory and rhinoceros horn, as well as truffles and rare fungi. Most shockingly, the third freezer contained rare species gene samples and embryonic tissues.

After reading it, Zhou Miao had a sudden thought: Did that mean the mission to rescue people on the deserted island had been completed?

He opened the system and, sure enough, there was a notification that he had been rewarded with a desert island reward.

[A reward from the deserted island: The deserted island is very grateful that you solved its noise problem and has decided to tell you a very useful secret. To its north, there is a large area of ​​terrain where reefs and sandbeds meet. Besides many fish, it is also home to a huge number of large mantis shrimp.]

They have lived here for a long time and are numerous. They love to eat small fish and various types of snails and clams. Hopefully, this information is helpful.

A very large number of large mantis shrimp?

How big can mantis shrimp be in the East China Sea?

The first thing Zhou Miao thought of was mantis shrimp imported from Southeast Asia; some were as big as a pound and as thick as an arm.

Secondly, there is another type of mantis shrimp with skin like a zebra, which can also grow to this size.

As for the other mantis shrimps, the largest seems to be only about 15 centimeters long.

Based on the large quantity, it's likely the mantis shrimp from the East China Sea that he often sees in the market.

The price of mantis shrimp varies greatly in the market. For the same species, small ones only cost around ten or twenty yuan per kilogram, but large ones with roe can sell for over a hundred yuan per kilogram.

If there are many mantis shrimps costing hundreds of dollars per kilogram, then the intelligence provided by the deserted island would be of high value.

In that case, his current savings could potentially exceed one million.

Zhou Miao immediately thought of investing in Yu Muzhou Fishing Club, who gave him two investment options.

One option is to invest 500,000 yuan and give him 6% of the shares.

One option is to invest one million and give him 13% of the shares.

The fishing club's overall valuation is currently ten million, with the largest portion of its assets being the dock belonging to the fishing club.

This dock, along with the right to use the nearby sea area, is worth more than five million.

The annual rent for a single parking space can reach hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan.

It's just that the fishing club is poorly managed, and many of the berths at the dock are empty.

If all the berths at the dock can be rented out, the rental income alone will be enough to turn the fishing club from loss to profit.

This is also why the original owner added a diving center. However, Nanzhen is still a bit small, and his own connections are not good, which has led to continuous losses.

But the owner was smart; he knew about the cultural and tourism plans for Nanzhen next year, which allowed his fishing club to retain some value.

Secondly, with the booming development of cultural tourism in Nanzhen next year, his club will become a treasure trove, and he is afraid that he will not be able to protect it.

So take this opportunity to sell the club as soon as possible.

Zhou Miao originally considered investing 500,000 yuan, because he had many expenses.

Not only do we owe money for the flooring, but we also have 100,000 yuan in loans to repay!

Investing a million, not only will I be unable to come up with the money immediately, but I'll also have to live frugally for a while afterward.

However, the situation with this batch of mantis shrimp gave him hope of acquiring more shares.
