Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Fifty years?

Zhao Gang's brows twisted instantly. They had no precedent for a fifty-year contract period.

But Fu Wan thought that fifty years was too short.

If the sea area could be bought and sold, she would have wanted to just spend money to buy it.

Zhao Gang thought for a moment and took out another document.

"Comrade Xiao Fu, to be honest, I thought you could only contract the sea area for five to ten years at most. But you've asked for fifty years, so I can't just agree to that."

The words were not too decisive, nor were they a direct rejection. Fu Wan immediately felt that there was still some hope.

So she advised: "Leader Zhao, seafood farming cannot be completed overnight.

There are many types of seafood, and I have no experience in aquaculture, so I plan to spend more time contracting and try more."

Zhao Gang also understood Fu Wan's concerns. She mentioned fifty years right away, probably because she was worried that there might be complications after the project was started.

After all, at my age, I will have to retire after working for more than ten years at most, not to mention that there may be job transfers in the future.

"How about this, you go and handle the other paperwork first. I'll have to make a phone call to inquire about the age limit."

The authority of the County Fisheries Bureau was not as great as Fu Wan had imagined. If Zhao Gang suddenly wanted to approve the fifty-year contracting procedures, he had to consult the Municipal Fisheries Bureau.

Just as Fu Wan responded and was about to go out with Fu Ming to get her things and Zhao Gang's secretary Li Jun to fill out forms and handle procedures, Zhao Gang called her again.

"By the way, Comrade Xiao Fu, the annual lease fee for this sea area is five yuan. This is a national policy to encourage marine aquaculture. If you really want to lease it for that long, you must pay the full fee in one lump sum."

He then explained, "This contract fee is actually a fee paid to the environmental protection department. They're also taking into account that there may be environmental protection issues after the sea area is allocated to you."

Fu Wan nodded in understanding, "Okay, don't worry, Leader Zhao. I've already prepared the contracting fees."

I originally thought that the contract fee would be dozens of dollars a year, if not hundreds, but I didn't expect it to be only five dollars a year.

Five dollars a year, that’s two hundred and fifty dollars in fifty years.

Fu Wan didn't even need to go to the bank to withdraw this money. Ye Xiaocui had already stuffed this amount into her bag that morning.

Watching Fu Wan and the others disappear at the door, Zhao Gang just picked up the receiver and made a call.

"Hello, I'm looking for Deputy Director Sun."

However, when the call was connected, Zhao Gang told the other end that Fu Wan's contract period was fifty years, and there was silence for a moment.

Ever since the first time he salvaged a torpedo, Li Jun felt that Fu Wan was an extraordinary woman.

Now looking at her sitting aside filling out the information for contracting the sea area, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Fu Wan is so amazing.

Apart from anything else, the canned fish that was newly added to the cafeteria at noon yesterday was really good.

Fortunately, he listened to Zhao Gang and went to the cafeteria early to get food, so he managed to snatch two spoonfuls of canned fish from the crowded colleagues.

"By the way, Comrade Fu, can you sell your canned fish separately?"

Seeing that Fu Wan was still filling out the information, Li Jun approached Fu Ming and asked him in a low voice.

When Fu Ming heard this, he almost thought there was something wrong with his ears.

"What, what did you say?"

Li Jun resisted the urge to roll his eyes. How come Comrade Xiaofu was so smart, while her brother looked so stupid?

"I say, do you sell the cans individually at your cannery?"

Li Jun also has a son and a daughter. His wife, children, and his mother all live in a tube-shaped building in the county town.

This canned fish is really good with rice. If I buy two bottles, my mother will have to cook two fewer dishes.

"Oh~ So you are asking about canned fish." Fu Ming suddenly realized. It's not that he is stupid. They came here to sign the contract. Who would have thought about canned fish.

"Hey, Comrade Li, why didn't you tell us earlier that we haven't been to the cannery today? Otherwise, I would definitely bring you two bottles."

Li Jun heard that this meant that he had no intention of taking money, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "I can't take it for free, this canned fish does taste good.

Many of my relatives and friends also want to try it, so I thought of asking where I can buy it.”

Of course, he couldn't say that he wanted to buy it. As a public official, he would not take a single needle or thread from the people. This had been ingrained in him since he joined the army.

Fu Ming was a straightforward person and had no idea that Li Jun was trying to coax him, so he immediately revealed the place where the canned fish was sold.

"In the county, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and the Friendship Store should have them. If Comrade Li's relatives want to buy some, they can go there and have a look."

Fu Ming had driven to deliver goods to the supply and marketing cooperative two days ago, so he remembered that it was particularly hard work.

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Jun suddenly realized how stupid he was. The supply and marketing cooperative must have this thing, which had made him confused for a long time.

While they were chatting here, Fu Wan also finished filling out the form.

After the staff reviewed them one by one, they sorted the stack of forms out again.

"Comrade Fu, the age limit is still empty."

After checking everything, the staff pointed out the areas that Fu Wan had not filled in.

Fu Wan scratched her head and was about to say something when Li Jun beside her hurried forward and said, "You don't need to fill in the years. Please check if there are any other problems first. If there are no problems, I will take it to Director Zhao for signature."

The staff member was stunned when she heard this, but didn't say much. She just checked it again when she heard that the director wanted to see the form.

Finally, after repeatedly confirming that the information was complete, he handed the things over to Li Jun.

After Li Jun took the things, Fu Wan and Fu Ming followed Li Jun back to the office.

As soon as he entered the office, Zhao Gang smiled and told me the good news.

"Comrade Xiaofu, there will be no problem with your 50 years. The higher-ups have already agreed!"

Fu Wan was a little curious, "Leader Zhao, did the higher-ups agree so quickly?"

She thought she would have to hold another meeting to discuss it.

They were all acquaintances, so Zhao Gang had no intention of hiding it.

"Everyone knows that you were praised by the central government.

Plus, since Leader Sun has already made the announcement, it’s hard for the higher-ups to refuse.”

There was a person in the city who was praised by the central government. If Fu Wan had not been so low-key, the reporters who wanted to interview her would have rushed to her house.

So as soon as Zhao Gang made the call, the city asked the provincial government for instructions, and the provincial leaders agreed without hesitation.

Everyone was jealous of Sun Shaoping for taking the credit with Fu Wan. If Fu Wan's marine aquaculture was successful this time, wouldn't they also benefit from it?

Fu Wan thought about it for a moment and understood the meaning of Zhao Gang's words.

But she didn't care. She was going to engage in breeding herself. If she could bring honor to her leader, it would be her blessing.

Having said that, Zhao Gang picked up the pen and signed his name in the approver column, and then wrote down the approval period.

After signing these documents, Fu Wan obtained the right to use that sea area.

"Okay, Comrade Xiaofu, just go home and wait. I'll have someone send the expert over to you tomorrow!"
