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

After hearing what Mayor Tang said, everyone felt a little uneasy.

"Then can we still buy pearl oyster seedlings?" asked a villager.

In fact, there are smart people among them who secretly purchased some pearl oysters from other channels and cultivated them in a specific area.

In fact, they were also worried that if Liu Meilan didn't sell them pearl oyster seedlings one day, it would be better to find a backup in advance.

However, the pearls cultivated in this way, although they are also pearls, are far inferior to the pearls produced by the pearl oyster seedlings cultivated in Liu Meilan’s pearl farm in terms of size, glossiness, and appearance!

Mayor Tang replied, "Everyone can rest assured. We're all from the same village, and we won't cut off anyone's source of income! You can buy pearl oyster seedlings, but the price will be slightly higher!"

"You should know that in the past, Mr. Liu only charged cost price when selling pearl oyster seedlings in order to buy your pearls, and made no profit. Now that they are no longer buying your pearls, there is naturally no need to give you a profit. It is already good enough to sell the pearl oyster seedlings to you at the market price."

After hearing this, everyone still did not dare to relax and asked, "What is the specific price?"

"Each pearl oyster seedling costs 13 yuan!" Mayor Tang replied. "As everyone knows, once a pearl oyster is raised, a single pearl inside it can cover the cost of the seedling. If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to buy it! After all, there are other pearl oyster seedlings on the market to choose from."

Upon hearing this, the villagers gritted their teeth and said, "If the pearl oyster seedlings outside are better, of course we'd buy them! After all, they're much cheaper! But what's the reality? Many people in our village must have secretly cultivated other pearl oysters. You should all know the results of the comparison. I'll take this money!"

The others nodded and agreed, "Alright, they're not stopping us from making money, and we can't expect them to keep selling to us at a low price! I accept this price!"

……

Mayor Tang waved his hand and said, "Everyone, be quiet. Everyone has made money now. Those who need to repair their houses should do so, and those who need to buy houses in the city should do so! But don't spend money recklessly. If I find out that anyone is involved in pornography, gambling, or drugs, we have the right to revoke their contract, as it is clearly stipulated in the contract."

"Now, the islands and some sea areas around us have all been contracted out. If you want to make more money, then you need to contract out more sea areas. Pearl farming is such a lucrative industry, and I'm sure you all value it and are very tempted! So everyone should supervise each other. Whoever reports it with evidence will be given priority in contracting out the sea areas!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately started talking about it.

When people have money, they will inevitably show off, especially men. They always want to find a sense of existence through women, and it is not uncommon for them to have the idea of ​​fooling around outside.

With more money in hand, the stakes for playing cards have increased significantly compared to before. There are really quite a few villagers in Sifang Island who have money now.

It has to be said that Mayor Tang's words directly hit the sore spot of these people.

Many people see that pearl farming is so profitable and want to contract more sea areas, but there is no extra sea area available for contracting.

If they wanted to contract more sea areas, they could only get them from others. But we were all from the same hometown, and Mayor Tang and many others were watching, so even if they wanted to do something bad, they wouldn't have the chance.

However, if you report someone for involvement in pornography, gambling, or drugs, and if the report is proven to be true, you can get priority contracting rights in that person's waters. This is much more attractive than pornography, gambling, or drugs!

Everyone expressed their opinions: "Mayor, why would we visit prostitutes? We certainly wouldn't gamble! And as for drugs, we've learned about the history of the Opium War. Back then, our country was called the 'Sick Man of East Asia' because of opium smoking. It's still a topic of conversation!"

"That's right, Mayor Tang! When we have money, we should buy a house and a car, eat well, dress well, send our children to school, and build up a family fortune. Who would bother with those things?"

Everyone behaved in front of Mayor Tang, acting as if they were all good people.

In reality, everyone can be a good person under certain constraints. But once those constraints are gone, the evil thoughts in one's heart are often magnified.

Mayor Tang is a smart man, and having stayed on the island for so long, he is very familiar with the bad nature of the locals.

"I'm relieved now that you've realized that pornography, gambling, and drugs are illegal and wrong! Everyone, make sure to supervise each other in the future!"

Just then, a villager asked, "Mayor, what other investments has your family made recently? We already bought a house in the city last year. Our children are still young, and we don't live there. What's the point of buying so many houses?"

Mayor Tang thought for a moment and replied, "Then why don't you just buy a shop and rent it out? You can collect rent every year, and if house prices go up in the future, the value of the shop will also increase!"

"Mayor, do you have any good shops to recommend?" the villager asked again.

Mayor Tang stroked his chin and said, "Anyway, you should go to a regular property sales office and buy existing properties, not pre-sale properties! As for me, of course I bought the shop that Liu Yiwen built in the city. This year I also bought a shop in the entertainment city on Sanlian Island!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers were shocked: "Didn't that entertainment city end up being abandoned long ago? Mayor, how dare you buy a shop there?"

Mayor Tang said with a smile, "The entertainment city on Sanlian Island has been taken over by a company under Meilan, and it's being developed in collaboration with higher-level municipal authorities! I don't care whether you believe it or not, I believe it's a sure thing! And many shops have already been built. If you're interested, you can form a group and go take a look!"

"Mayor, did you really buy it?" The town director couldn't help but ask.

Mayor Tang nodded and said, "I bought it. If you want to buy, buy it. If you don't want to buy, don't buy it. Don't blindly follow the trend just because I bought it. I can bear the consequences if the project fails, but if you can't get the house, don't blame me."

The villagers burst into laughter. "We trust not only you, the mayor, but also Liu Meilan! That girl would never do anything that would lose money. Anyone who can make a fortune fishing in the ocean is blessed by Mazu and the Dragon King, and has great luck. Let's go, hurry up, first go order some pearl oyster seedlings, then we'll go to Sanlian Island to look at shops and buy houses!"

Since they can't gamble or mess around with women, many people just want to spend their money on legitimate things as soon as possible so that they can continue to work honestly. Otherwise, if they stay at home all day thinking about how to spend money, it will easily cause trouble.

Mayor Tang broadcast the town's announcements three times a day on the island, morning, noon, and evening. The women and elderly at home were eager to kowtow to Mayor Tang. Only drastic measures like Mayor Tang's could keep these wealthy farmers in check.

In just one afternoon, the office of the Sifang Island Pearl Oyster Breeding Base welcomed many farmers who came to buy pearl oyster seedlings.

The staff gave each of them a form, calculated the amount on the spot, completed the order form, and asked the villagers to sign a purchase contract and remit the money to the company account within the specified time. After that, the delivery note will be issued according to the order of transfer.

Compared to last year, this year's process is more formal, and of course, a little more complicated than before.

Seeing that the bank was still working, the villagers went to the bank to remit money to the pearl oyster seedling breeding base, and then returned to the office to collect the delivery notes.
