Zhang Fengming looked at the six people and said with a smile, "Everyone must have had their own ideas to be assigned to work here! No matter what you did before, now that you are in this group, our goal is to promote pearl farming! Oh, and there's also seafood farming. We need to purchase seafood fry from Sifang Island!"

Upon hearing this, a man named Wang Heng asked, "Section Chief Zhang, we have seafood fry farming here too. Why go so far away? I see the price on the quote is quite high. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Zhang Fengming had long known that others would be curious, and some would even suspect that there was a transfer of interests involved.

Zhang Fengming took out a price list: "This is the price of the seafood raised by Sifang Island seafood fry..."

Wang Heng's family raised seafood, so he was quite familiar with these situations. He looked down and was shocked. "Chief Zhang, this is impossible! How can farmed seafood be priced similarly to wild seafood?"

Zhang Fengming replied, "When I first saw it, I also thought it was impossible. But after tasting the seafood farmed on Sifang Island, I found that it tasted exceptionally good, almost indistinguishable from wild seafood!"

"Also, farmed seafood is sold during the fishing ban period, which is also the peak season for seafood sales, so the price is so high. Of course, good taste is a key factor."

Wang Heng scratched his head. "Chief Zhang, I'm sorry. I don't mean to disagree with you. I just can't imagine that farmed seafood can taste nearly as good as wild seafood!"

Zhang Fengming smiled and said, "It's normal that you don't believe it. Let's put it this way, do you raise seafood in your hometown?"

Wang Heng nodded. "Yes! With the depletion of offshore fishery resources, only large fishing boats can go fishing farther out, and going out to sea is dangerous, so everyone chooses to farm seafood."

"Local people are quite picky about seafood, but tourists don't know much about it, so most of the farmed seafood is supplied to tourists. Although the profit isn't huge, it's a safe bet. Of course, it also depends on the weather. There have been a lot of typhoons this year, and the farmers have suffered a lot of losses!"

Zhang Fengming nodded. "Typhoons are inevitable; they are the power of nature. However, we will improve the accuracy of our weather forecasts and provide farmers with more accurate weather information. If severe weather is imminent, we will be ready to reinforce our farms in advance."

"Also, I strongly recommend that those of you back home go to Shenzhen and try the seafood from Sifang Island! The farmed seafood used in the Yang Family Restaurant comes from Sifang Island, using fry raised in Sifang Brain. You can also contact the seafood fry breeding base on Sifang Island for more details."

Wang Heng was skeptical: "Is it really that good?"

Zhang Fengming nodded. "Even someone like me who doesn't know much about seafood can taste the difference. Those of you who were born and raised here and are incredibly familiar with seafood should be able to tell the difference even more easily."

"Facts speak louder than words. Only when you see it for yourself will you know what high-quality seafood fry are! This kind of fry not only has a high survival rate, but also has fewer diseases and grows faster. In short, it has many advantages."

"If the farmers in your hometown want to increase their income, I think it's necessary to make a change and try a new seafood farming method! Even if this is a business trip, I will reimburse your round-trip expenses."

Although Wang Heng still didn't quite believe it, he nodded after hearing what Section Chief Zhang said. "Okay, I'll go home tonight and discuss with my elders about going to Shenzhen!"

Zhang Fengming nodded. "When you return from your inspection and approve of the fish fry there, I will set up a model breeding base there. When your seafood sells for a high price, other farmers will know about it and will naturally follow suit."

Because the cost of seafood farming is relatively high, and people are already familiar with existing technologies and farming methods and will not change easily.

That is why Zhang Fengming spared no effort to persuade Wang Heng to let Wang Heng, an advanced representative, lead their village and set an example.

The following things were very busy, but Zhang Fengming got up early and went to bed late every day, and his spirits remained high.

Zhang Fengming told Liu Meilan, "We will send someone to visit the seafood fry farming on Sifang Island."

The profit of fish fry is indeed very high, and the breeding cycle is relatively short. It has always been one of the profit sources of Sifang Island Breeding Company.

Now their fish fry are only supplied around Shenzhen, and it is actually not easy to promote these fish fry.

Now that Zhang Fengming is promoting it in Haicheng, Liu Meilan is naturally willing.

"Okay, let them come over! Tell them to bring their IDs and their household registration books. I'll have someone pick them up and take them directly to the fish fry breeding base!"

Zhang Fengming smiled and said, "Meilan, thank you for supporting our work!"

Liu Meilan said modestly, "Brother Zhang, please don't be polite. We actually want to promote such excellent fish fry, too! But there are many obstacles to promotion, and they may not believe us!"

Zhang Fengming politely responded, "Actually, they don't understand the situation. Once they do, they'll definitely be eager to buy your fish fry. Although the fry are a bit more expensive, the delicious seafood they raise can fetch a higher price, so the investment is worth it!"

"We understand that the profits from your seafood farming far exceed ours. This alone shows that your fish fry have a significant advantage!"

Liu Meilan nodded: "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!"

Zhang Fengming smiled and said, "I'm happy, of course I'm happy! You've already sent someone to talk to me, and we're talking very smoothly now. We'll be signing the contract soon!"

Liu Meilan was also full of anticipation: "Okay, now that the branch has been established, we can take action immediately after signing the contract! Thank you, Brother Zhang, for your support!"

Zhang Fengming said politely, "It's our government's responsibility to serve you. Don't hesitate! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!"

This is the focus of his work, and Zhang Fengming will do his best. This is also the foundation of his foothold in this place.

Wang Heng brought his uncle and another uncle from a prominent family in the village to Shenzhen.

"Uncle, Uncle Li, the Yang Family Restaurant is just ahead. Let's go in and order some seafood dishes. We'll use farmed seafood to taste them!"

Uncle Wang and Uncle Li smiled and nodded: "Okay, this is a task assigned by the leadership, we have to go through the motions!"

It was obvious that the two did not believe that farmed seafood could taste similar to wild seafood.

Wang Heng, armed with public funds, ordered six dishes and told the waiter, "We don't want wild seafood, we want farmed seafood!"

The waiter smiled and replied, "Okay! There's a slight price difference between the two types of seafood, but our farmed seafood tastes great too! These seafood are all alive, so please wait a moment!"

They are very confident in their farmed seafood.
