Chapter 135 Pangasius aquaculture industry
Watching Rollo and Newton eat this hodgepodge of sheep's internal organs.
Li Xin silently wrote down that he would never discuss cooking with the British, which is a completely different aesthetic view of food.
……………………
"Yeah, it's so delicious." Newton inserted a large piece of sheep's lungs, stood with yellow mustard, ate in big mouthfuls, and the laser pen lit the projector, and a kind of thing appeared on the projection screen.
Newton pointed to a cute fat-headed fish in the picture and said, "This is the modified basa fish [fat-headed basa fish]. It is the latest product of a biochemical laboratory I invested 5 million pounds in London in the 19th century."
"Basa fish is a fish that is especially caring for humans. It has fewer thorns and has a small taste. It is also a freshwater fish and a type of catfish."
"This kind of fish has several characteristics. It grows fast and has a high meat yield rate of 40%. 100g fry can easily grow to 1 kg, while the larger ones can grow to 1.5 kg."
"There is no strange earthy and fishy smell. The peeled basa fish tastes lighter and has a high acceptance."
"The most important thing is that there are no small thorns and intermuscular thorns. Basa fish can easily dismantle two large pieces of fish steak, which is the Basa fish fillet often sold in supermarkets."
Listening to Newton's description, Goro and Li Xin looked at each other and swallowed. Combining so many characteristics together, Basa fish can be regarded as a very excellent source of protein.
Newton continued: "Based on such an excellent basis, Basha fish and catfish race talent: it has low requirements for water quality, resistance to diseases and pests, and does not require much oxygen consumption. The feeding density is huge. A very small pond can raise a lot of fish."
"China is now the world's largest purchasing country for basa fish, and it has come from behind. In fact, it has been less than five years since Basa fish entered China on a large scale."
Newton switched the picture and the bar chart appeared. It shows that China's annual import of basa fish is increasing at a rate of more than 30% per year.
Next, data on Vietnam's aquaculture industry appeared.
"At present, Vietnam occupies a dominant position in the international basa fish market. Basa fish is one of the pillars of Vietnam's vigorous development of fishery."
"At the beginning, Basa fish was the main market in the European and American markets, but later Europe and the United States began to restrict the import of Vietnam's Basa fish. After suffering a series of setbacks, Vietnam turned its head and vigorously developed the Chinese market. At present, China has become the largest importer of Basa fish."
"We can learn from Vietnam's Basa fish farming experience, copy it to the Indian Dominion in the 18th century, and develop the Basa fish farming industry in the Great Lakes."
………………………………………………………………………………
Vietnam is a major aquatic product country. In addition to Basa fish, tea fish, shrimp and tuna are also its main export products.
Vietnam has vigorously developed Basa fish since 1995. Basa fish production has maintained a continuous increase of 20 years, and its export volume has achieved a 20-fold effect in 20 years.
After ten years of development, Basa fish has become a traditional export fish in Vietnam.
In 2007, Vietnam successfully joined WTO and joined 10 trade agreements to reduce tariffs. Basa fish sales in Europe and the United States have been rising steadily.
The traditional white meat fish market in the European and American markets were originally dominated by sea fish, such as pollock, sea bass, and dragon li fish. However, because Basha fish is cheap, there is less thorn and good taste, foreigners started to eat freshwater fish.
However, since the exported products are made into frozen fish segments, foreigners don’t know that this is freshwater fish, so they are just consuming it.
In the past five years, the price of basa fish has stabilized at US$1.7 per kilogram.
Due to the extremely low prices, the US fishery industry was completely defeated and occupied 89% of the market share of frozen fish in the United States in one breath.
As a result, the United States has repeatedly collected anti-dumping duties on Vietnamese Basa fish and conducted more than 8 investigations, which shows how much sales and low sales prices of Basa fish in the United States are.

"Lower Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario in North America, these five connected lakes are the largest freshwater lake groups in the world."
"My plan is to build the Big Lakes in the DHM-11 plane into a super Basa fish farm."
"In terms of technology, we can learn from Vietnam's breeding experience. In terms of funds, we can lend 1 billion US dollars to the Hawaiian National Bank, and the Indian Dominion provides a vast waters of the Great Lakes. That is, we pay for money, technology, they send people, waters, and cooperate."
"Wait!" Goro interrupted Newton's words and said, "A billion US dollars in loan! If the business fails and the money cannot be collected, Hawaii International Bank will go bankrupt!"
Newton took out a parchment agreement and handed it to Goro and said, "Don't worry, I have signed this aid agreement with the three giants of the Indian Dominion. According to the agreement, the 1 billion US dollars will be paid in Hawaiian silver dollars, and from now on, Hawaiian silver dollars will become the legal currency of the Indian Dominion."
"So, even if it fails, the Hawaii National Bank will only lose some of the cost of coining."
……………………
Looking at the content of the agreement, Goro did indeed, as Newton said, the construction fee of 1 billion US dollars was paid in Hawaiian silver dollars, and it was recognized that Hawaiian silver dollars were the national legal currency.
However, after seeing these contents, Goro became even more worried.
Many cases of giving up the right to mint and adopting other countries' currencies have occurred in human history. Without exception, this situation has happened only when the country's economy has collapsed, the country's currency has depreciated in a mess, and the country's credit has completely ended.
It seems that the crisis faced by this Indian Dominion is very serious.
……………………
The dhm-11 plane, the 18th century, the Great Lakes, 15 kilometers east shore of Lake Michigan, and the residential area of the Indian Dominion.
The largest freshwater lake group in the world is close to each other and connected to each other. It has a vast area, vast smoke and beautiful scenery.
Standing on the sand on the east bank of Lake Michigan, looking at the blue water level with the skyline, the lake wind blowing in front, causing waves, it feels like standing by the sea.
Li Xin and others came here and were warmly received by the local Indian chief.
The three giants of the Indian Dominion all live on the west coast of Lake Michigan.
Therefore, the receptionist Li Xin and others was the richest man in the Indian Dominion and Chief Jimmy, who was praised by the Washington Post as the "fourth giant".
"Recently, the shaman said that there would be strong winds, so it would not be easy to take a boat. After a few days, the wind stopped. In just three days, you can take you to the east bank of Hu, Michigan to meet Chief Jimmy." Chief Jimmy's face looked dark, and he looked weathered and thick calluses. When he shook hands with Li Xin, Li Xin's rough skin made his hands hurt.
"Can we go around by land?" Guo Caijie asked.
When Guo Caijie heard Chief Jimmy say that shamans predict the weather, he felt that it was unreliable. However, since the owner said that the waterway was blocked, it was not easy to force it, so he proposed to take land transportation.
Hearing Guo Caijie's request, Chief Jimmy and the followers around him laughed.
