The town closest to Paradise Island is called Banaret Town, which is sparsely populated in Australia and is home to a large number of immigrants and exchanges. Despite being small, Banaret Town is well-equipped.
There are police stations, town (village) governments, hotels, shops, gas stations, post offices, clubs, and more, and there are more than one hotel in the town.
Zhang Yaming also noticed that Ham has a good reputation in this town and is often greeted by people. After he docked the boat, he went directly to a shopping mall.
Boss, you can buy things here, and when we leave, just have someone deliver the things directly to the ship! The owner of this store, Wall, is my old friend
Zhang Yaming saw this shopping mall located across from the gas station in the small town, with only two staff members and not many customers. Moreover, there were many shelves inside, selling everything from fertilizers to food!
When making the payment, a shop assistant curiously asked Zhang Yaming, "Oh, sir, are you here for tourism? Do you want to buy a hand drawn map specifically? You will have a great harvest
No, I settled here, not for tourism, but I think I might need the hand drawn map you mentioned. Thank you
Zhang Yaming is a bit strange. How can the staff in this store guess that he is here for tourism?
Haha, I forgot to introduce myself. This is my boss from the East and also the owner of Paradise Island, which is Green Island where I used to work
Ham laughed heartily, familiar with the shop assistant, and pulled a bald man in his forties with a beer belly beside him, as introduced by Zhang Yaming.
He is said to be his good friend Wall, who is the owner of this mall. The clerk has been working here for a long time and he knows almost everyone in the town.
Seeing someone with an Eastern face like Zhang Yaming, who doesn't have a familiar face, is usually a tourist, and there aren't many who come here to settle down.
Nice to meet you. I have been to Huaxia in the East, which is a magical and hardworking country. When we first meet, I will send someone to deliver the goods you purchase to your ship
Ham, can your island still provide me with vegetables? The vegetables on your island are the freshest and best, but unfortunately the quantity is too small
When Ham and his wife were on the island, they planted a lot of vegetables and sent them to Wall to sell because they were fresher than vegetables from other places and very popular. Wall always complained that the quantity was too small.
There's nothing we can do, but on the original Green Island, there's not enough fresh water. Ham's wife just wants to grow vegetables, and without water, it's impossible.
Oh, old buddy, you have to ask our boss about this. Everything now has to be done by the boss
Ham laughed heartily. In the past, the island was managed and taken care of by them, and it was okay to grow and deliver dishes. But now the island belongs to Zhang Yaming, it depends on the boss's decision.
Don't worry, once I find a new water source on the island, I will definitely have Celia plant more vegetables and sell them all to you. This time we are coming to town to find the people who dig wells on the island
The owner of a typical shopping mall is also very familiar in the town, and this chubby guy with a beer belly looks very kind. Zhang Yaming just wanted to ask him how to find those people who dig wells.
Oh, God, everyone knows that Green Island doesn't have underground freshwater. Who told you you could dig a well? Someone surveyed the island a few years ago and found that it was short of water. Don't you know how difficult it is
My poor young man, have you been deceived
Walker's expression was surprised, just like Ham's, and he didn't understand Zhang Yaming's request for someone to dig a well.
In recent years, many people have noticed the location and environment of Green Island and invited people to explore the underground water source on the island. However, without exception, almost everyone said that the underground water on Green Island is insufficient.
That island is extremely lacking in fresh water, otherwise 45 million would have been quickly bought by someone, would it have been sold to a young Chinese man for 25 million now?
Ham shrugged, saying that he had said such words himself, but the boss didn't believe it at all.
However, although there is not a lot of fresh water on this island, there is still no problem with domestic water use, and there is a wide sea area near the island. This small island can also develop fisheries.
In that case, even if it's over 20 million yuan, it won't be a loss!
That's why Ham wants Zhang Yaming to buy a fishing boat.
Oh, Mr. Walker, thank you for your kindness, but I still want to invite someone to give it a try
Although all he heard were voices of opposition, Zhang Yaming still wanted to invite someone to give it a try. If he could find fresh water on Paradise Island, it would be a pleasant surprise for him.
With fresh water, there are too many things that can be done. If it doesn't work, he can try converting seawater into fresh water, but buying a set of machines is a bit tricky and inconvenient.
Oh, Easterners, don't look back until you hit the wall! There's really a drive, but that island really doesn't have fresh water, as the old residents of this town know
Wall touched his head and felt that Zhang Yaming was really stubborn. Well, stubborn Chinese!
We won't turn back until we hit the south wall! Haha, thank you, Wall. Let's go get things done first, Ham
Coming out of Wall's place, Ham happily took Zhang Yaming to see the fishing boat. In Ham's mind, being able to get the boss to order a trawl boat like the one on Wrangel Island would make him particularly satisfied.
With such a fishing boat in hand, you don't have to keep driving that old and dilapidated old master's boat. After being splashed with water all over, you will still be ridiculed by people.
The fishing industry in the small town is well-developed, and there are many fishermen who rely on fishing to support their families. Therefore, there is a shop in the town that sells fishing boats, as well as fishing equipment, fishing nets, and fishing boat parts.
Of course, not all of those fishing boats are parked in the store, only a portion of the samples are parked at fixed docks, and more fishing boats need to pay a deposit first and then ship them from other ports.
When Ham led Zhang Yaming to explain the situation, the shop owner personally received them and took them to see the ship.
There are a lot of trawl nets on those ships, but most of them have low horsepower and can only be used for fishing in coastal areas, which is only slightly stronger than the old master boats that Ham complained about.
Among the fishing boats they saw, the one that sold the best and was also the most beautiful was the 18 meter single net fishing boat they saw on Wrangel Island in the morning.
Only 500 horsepower, fuel consumption is not particularly high, not very suitable for deep-sea fishing, but it is sufficient for Paradise Island. The key is that the price is only 230000 euros.
Converted from euros to Chinese yuan, it was around 1.4 million yuan, so when Ham saw the tugboat, he jumped up with joy.
Boss, it's this boat. It's very good and suitable for fishing near Paradise Island. If there are large schools of fish, it's easy to make a profit. Although this boat is a bit expensive, it's very easy to use and has low fuel consumption
Han, who was straightforward, looked at the 18 meter long single net fishing boat and jumped onto it all at once. After touching it everywhere, he even ran straight to the cabin and really liked it.
There are also fish on Paradise Island, but the fish caught by his small boat are at most enough to eat, and selling them is difficult. The small boat cannot catch valuable big fish at all.
Ham often saw the debris from Wrangel Island shouting at him, and several times provoked him to cross the sea line and go fishing on this side of Paradise Island.
If Heaven Island had its own trawl fishing boat, then the miscellaneous people of Wrangel Island wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.
This 18 meter trawler seems to be the best fishing boat in the town, but if it weren't for the developed fishing industry in Banaret, there wouldn't be such a trawler for sale in a typical town. We would have to go further away.
Zhang Yaming glanced at the fishing boat's offer and then casually asked the owner of the fishing boat.
Is there no better trawl fishing boat than this
The fishing boat owner didn't react for a moment, and then thought for a moment, thinking that the customer was looking for an excuse to dislike the expensive fishing boat. He shrugged and spread his hands.
"Oh, God, in fact, this trawler is very good. Good fishermen know that it sells very well. You see, Flengel Island came to me last month and bought an identical fishing boat!"
Actually, I still have other fishing boats to choose from here, but there is no stock available. Even if you pay, you will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest to have the goods back
