Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Tang Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes, several of my uncles and relatives came to my house to inquire."

Liu Meilan thought for a moment and said, "This year we'll buy at the price Roland charges. Since we've already expanded our aquaculture, next year we'll sell all of Sifang Island's pearls to Roland or other luxury brands, and we'll just use our own aquaculture."

In the long run, being led by foreign luxury brands is not a long-term solution.

Wang Lemei asked seriously, "Meilan, are the seafood we raise really... really enough?"

Liu Meilan counted on her fingers as she explained to Wang Lemei, "I've contracted such a large area of ​​sea, and now have eighteen pearl farming bases. Next year's harvest will definitely exceed this year's. You know, the pearls I farm are not only for Dafu Jewelry, but my Seven White Pearl series also requires large quantities of pearls."

"I wouldn't joke about something this important. Besides, we've started mining pearls now. In a few days, a batch of pearls should be delivered. Then you'll see that these pearls are of exceptional quality."

Wang Lemei smiled: "I feel relieved when you say that."

When Wang Lemei announced that the pearls on the island would be purchased at the price offered by Roland, the farmers were instantly excited.

Mayor Tang's family farms a large number of pearl oysters and was the first to begin harvesting pearls this year. This year's pearl production is double that of last year, with prices also higher, resulting in a total profit that has more than doubled.

Mayor Tang was beaming with joy, as his family now had millions of dollars in savings. The pearl farmers on the island had become wealthy from selling pearls.

Last year's bad weather reduced our earnings, but if we have a good year, we can make a lot of money. Pearl farming is really profitable.

As for seafood farming, Sifang Island raises mid-range and high-end fish, and since it's a fishing ban, the profits are comparable to those from pearl farming. Currently, the entire island is immersed in a festive atmosphere.

Mayor Tang uses a loudspeaker every day to remind the town’s residents not to gamble and not to keep too much cash at home. They should either deposit it in the bank or go to Shenzhen to buy houses or shops.

There is a provision in all contracting contracts: if anyone is involved in prostitution, gambling or drugs, the town collective has the right to revoke the sea area contracting rights, which serves as a warning to the poor about the various bad habits that may arise from sudden wealth.

Not only that, Mayor Tang also decided to renovate all the houses on Sifang Island, changing them into Chinese-style villas with white walls and green tiles to enhance the image of the entire Sifang Island.

Now that the people have money, they are naturally willing to cooperate and respond one after another. The contractor has been very busy recently, busy renovating houses and making Sifang Island better.

Nowadays, many children of military families, those with good academic performance can be admitted to good universities, and some stay in other places; those who cannot be admitted to universities basically stay on the island, marry with local people, and live a very rich life.

This was rare in the past because income on the island was not high, and many families were worried that their children would be separated from their parents if they were transferred in the future and got married here.

But now there are fewer such concerns. It is obvious that Sifang Island has changed a lot, and life here is comfortable.

If you want to go to the city, you can take a boat and arrive in less than an hour. It is very convenient for studying or shopping.

Mayor Tang naturally hopes to see such a change, allowing people from all over the world to settle here and intermarry, as such a union will promote a better inheritance. If all the people were locals, many of them would be relatives, and the children born would be more susceptible to illness and may have bad genes.

Some of these young people are learning to open pearl shells, and some are learning to make jewelry, and their salaries are not low.

Even some elderly people would take some work home to do when they had nothing to do. In short, there were no idle people on the island and everyone lived a fulfilling life.

The whole island was immersed in the joy of harvest.

Wang Lemei spent a lot of money to buy pearls, but when she saw these pearls, she felt that it was all worth it.

Pearls of good quality are sent to the warehouse of Dafu Jewelry; pearls of average quality are sent to Qibai Pearl, ground into powder and vacuum-packed, and will later be made into skin care products.

The pearl oysters fished from islands far away from Sifang Island are transported to Sifang Island and sent to a sterile workshop.

Liu Meilan and Wang Lemei had to wear protective clothing and disinfect their entire bodies before they could enter.

Wang Lemei, wearing a mask, whispered, "Today I want to see what the difference is between these pearls cultured offshore and those farmed around our island!"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Actually, I've seen it. It's better than the pearls cultured around our island! Because the water in the distant sea is purer and the density of pearls is also lower."

The most important thing is that her spiritual sense can cover the distant sea areas, and she also focuses more of her spiritual sense on the pearl oysters she cultivates.

As for the pearl shells around Sifang Island, they are just taken care of by the way.

The difference in the quality of pearls may not be obvious this year, but it will be visible in three or two years.

The first products shipped here were from the island where Liu Meilan first planted pearl oysters.

Wang Lemei was quite shocked. "Oh my god, look how big this pearl oyster has grown! Is it really an annual?"

Liu Meilan shook her head. "It's probably been a year and a half. The earlier ones have been here for two years! In the future, we will be breeding pearls in larger areas and for longer periods of time. This way, the pearls will be of better quality!"

Wang Lemei looked at the workers with great curiosity. They were using tools to carefully open the pearl shells and take out the pearls.

Particularly small pearls are returned to the oyster to continue growing. After the oyster's wound is disinfected with a special potion, a pearl nucleus is placed elsewhere.

The processed pearl oysters will be placed in a special pool for a day before being transported back to their original breeding area.

Wang Lemei picked up a beautiful, lustrous pearl, narrowed her eyes slightly, and examined it carefully through a magnifying glass. "So beautiful! I've been learning to identify various jewelry materials, and I can tell these pearls are better than those around Sifang Island!"

Liu Meilan was quite surprised: "Can you tell?"

Wang Lemei was quite proud of this. "Of course. Dealing with these materials all day long means I've gotten into the basics, even if I'm not a master! What's more, I'm using a magnifying glass, which can magnify dozens of times, so I can see even more clearly."

"Are you relieved now?" Liu Meilan knew that Wang Lemei had been in a very anxious state recently.

In fact, some of the pearls on the island have been successfully recovered recently, but it still failed to alleviate her anxiety and worries.

Only when she sees the real pearls with her own eyes can she completely put her mind at ease.

Wang Lemei nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice. "Don't worry! I've watched the workers remove several pearl shells in a row, and I've noticed that a high percentage of them are top-quality pearls! Well, I think those well-known luxury brands will be eyeing your pearls again. If Dafu Jewelry can't use up all of them, you can sell them off gradually!"
