Chapter 586
Putting the double-layer fishing net into the lake is like enclosing a breeding farm. The fishing nets are finally merged, and there are more than a dozen breeding areas evenly distributed inside. Different breeding areas can breed different fish fry, and they can also be mixed. Wait for the fish fry now up.
Lei Meng asked Wang Bo what kind of fish fry he needed, and he said that he had a relationship in this regard: "Just tell me a name, and immediately, I mean immediately, you will see these fish come to you."
"Chinese carp."
The corner of Raymond's mouth twitched: "Dude, what are you kidding, Asian carp is absolutely taboo to breed. If it is discovered that raising this thing, it is not only as simple as a limited period of fishing, it may be jailed!"
Asian carp is not the carp we often say, but a collective name for a series of Asian freshwater fish such as carp, grass carp, crucian carp, and bighead carp. This kind of fish is now very famous in the global freshwater fish industry. In the past, Europe and the United States wanted to purify water bodies and introduced them to the past.
Then, all the countries that introduced it regretted it. Except in East Asia, this thing has almost no natural enemies in other regions. It has super reproductive ability and has swept the freshwater waters of many countries. For example, the United States now spends thousands of dollars a year to control the pollution of Asian carp. Ten thousand U.S. dollars!
New Zealand has always paid great attention to the problem of alien species invasion. Asian carp is a red banned species in the species invasion list. If someone is found to raise these fish, they can indeed be sentenced.
Wang Bo was just teasing Lei Meng, and he would not actually raise these fish if he asked him to raise them. Once they jumped out of the fishing net and flooded Shuangzi Lake, the fishery of Shuangzi Lake would be fatally hit.
For fish fry, he chose some that are more common in New Zealand, such as trout, tilapia, salmon, etc. For shrimp fry, he chose South American prawns and freshwater lobsters, and for crab fry, he chose mitten crabs. There are many types of crabs. Rare freshwater crabs, among which the Chinese mitten crab is the famous hairy crab.
After cleaning up the lake, Wang Bo went to work. When people saw him on the road, he would ask, "Mayor, do you want to raise fish?"
Wang Bo said: "Of course, I saw that people like to go fishing, so I thought, there are only so many wild fish, what if they are all caught up? Why don't I raise some to replenish the lake, right?"
He was praised for this statement, and some people praised him that there are few mayors who are so dedicated to the sake of the townspeople.
Wang Bo went to the office and received a phone message from "New Zealand News", saying that he wanted to negotiate with him about the serialization authorization of "Fatal Note".
"Fatal Note" is the name of Hill's novel. He called back, and a calm voice rang out: "Hello, the editorial department of "New Zealand News", what can I do for help?"
Wang Bo explained his identity and purpose of coming, and the man's voice suddenly became more excited, and he said, "Hello, sir, do you own the copyright of "Fatal Note"?"
This is how copyright is protected in New Zealand, they only respect the owner of the copyright, but it is also a bit rigid, if the copyright of a book is stolen, then the person is out of luck, unless there is direct and convincing proof that the work came from Otherwise, even if you go to court, you won't be able to win.
Of course the copyright is not in Wang Bo's hands, but he has the agency right, so he replied: "Yes, what are your needs?"
The editor of the new newspaper said: "Sir, our content editor is very interested in your novel after seeing it. One of our newspapers is a literary story magazine. We want to cooperate with you. I wonder if you have this intention?"
"New Zealand News" is also a newspaper with very good sales. Although it is not as good as "New Zealand Daily" and "New Zealand Herald", it is also very influential. The main reason is that it started a bit late, after World War II. At that time, the market for newspapers and periodicals was almost divided up.
One good thing about this newspaper is that it keeps pace with the times, and the newspaper section changes frequently. If there is a particularly hot topic in the world for a period of time, then this newspaper will put the international news section on the front page; if For a certain period of time, there are celebrity scandals that are particularly hot, and then they will put the entertainment section on the front page.
In short, the operation of this newspaper is very flexible, so some people criticized it as too fancy, and some people thought the layout was too messy, but overall it was very popular, because people always hope that the content they want to read the most is on the front page.
While checking the specific information of the new newspaper on the Internet, he replied: "Sorry sir, I am now cooperating with the Herald and other media, so I don't know why I need to change the newspaper."
The editor said: "We all know that the Herald newspaper quotes your stories for free, but this is not the case with our new newspaper. We are willing to requisition your novels for a fee, and give a manuscript fee of 1,000 yuan for each article."
"New Zealand Newspaper" is a daily publication, published every day, but Hill can't write so fast, so for now, the publication of this book on the Herald is a bi-daily publication, that is, a section is published every other day.
If the New Paper paid 1,000 yuan for each article, then Fischer would receive 15,000 yuan a month for the manuscript alone, which is not a small amount, enough for him to become the middle class of this country.
Wang Bo said he would think about it, and then hung up the phone. He called Hill and others to the conference room, and told the meaning of the new newspaper.
Hearing that the New Paper was willing to pay for the publication of his novel, Hilton was excited: "My God, one manuscript is one thousand yuan? Then don't I have thirty thousand yuan a month?"
Wang Bodao: "Can't you only write a thousand words a day?"
Hill said: "If I don't have money, I can write 1,000 words a day. If I have money, I can write 2,000 words a day without any problems! The big deal is to sacrifice some time to walk the dog!"
Atulu said: "Then why are you hesitating? Hurry up and agree to the request of the new newspaper, 30,000 yuan a month, my buddy, you will soon become a damn rich man, if you want to treat, you must treat!"
"Of course, of course," Hill vowed, "on the first day I get the manuscript fee, I will invite everyone to have a big meal and drink wine. I will never forget your help to me."
Atulu said: "Not only that, I also like your story, my brother, don't you think your protagonist still needs a good helper? There is a Chinese saying, one good man and three good buddies... ..."
"One hero and three gangs." Charlie corrected him.
"That's what I mean. Your protagonist lacks a Maori gang. You see, the boss is great, right? He has a Maori assistant. Do you understand what I mean?" Atulu said with a mischievous eyebrow.
Hill said: "No problem, brother, tomorrow I will create a witty, brave and humorous Maori police officer based on you."
Uncle Bing immediately patted the table: "What about me?"
Kidd raised his hand and said, "Arrange a role for me too, oh, and Elizabeth, we want to be together."
Elizabeth: "Who wants to be with you?!"
