Xiang Yang smiled casually, it seemed like he had met a rich man.
The pleasure of rich people is sometimes as simple as that: wherever there are people, that is their place of consumption.
In fact, it’s almost the same.
The old man on the boat is a real estate tycoon in Hong Kong. The cruise ship belongs to him, and he also organized this trip.
They had been out for several days, and he felt that the food on the cruise ship was not very fresh, so he wanted to eat some fresh seafood. Coincidentally, they met Xiang Yang's fishing boat at this time, so someone suggested buying some seafood from Xiang Yang's fishing boat.
As soon as this proposal was made, everyone agreed, and this is the scene we have now.
"What kind of catch do you want?" Xiang Yang asked loudly while holding up the loudspeaker.
The old man turned around and discussed with the people around him, then asked, "What kind of catch did you have on your boat?"
"That's a lot." Xiang Yang said with a smile: "Port crabs, horsehead fish, squid, cuttlefish..."
Xiang Yang named more than ten kinds of seafood in one breath.
The old man said disappointedly: "Are there any rare sea fish?"
Xiang Yang was also single, so he answered directly: "Of course, but I can't sell these to you. I have a few old customers who take good care of me on weekdays. Those rarer catches have already been reserved by them."
"Isn't it just money? Tell me, what rare sea fish do you have on your boat? If they are suitable, I will definitely give you a suitable price." shouted the real estate tycoon.
The right price
Xiang Yang frowned.
He felt that the other party was being unreasonable. Since it was a rare catch, would they worry about not being able to sell it at a good price
If someone is begging you to buy something, why should I sell it to you if you are not related to me
Of course, it is also possible that the other person is really rich and can give you several times the money at one time.
Xiang Yang asked, "I have two salmon on my boat. How much do you want to pay?"
"Salmon? This fish is just okay. I'll pay you ten thousand dollars and send me both fish." shouted the real estate tycoon.
"Boss, the market price of wild salmon is over a thousand yuan per pound. These two salmon of mine weigh more than ten pounds each. I'm paying ten thousand yuan for two. Isn't this price unfair?" Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"What sea salmon, water salmon, aren't they all salmon? I understand the market. Salmon will go on a hunger strike when it grows to more than ten kilograms. When it goes on a hunger strike, it will only be worth more than a hundred yuan per kilogram. Now I'm offering you ten thousand yuan, and you will definitely make a profit." shouted the real estate tycoon.
Xiang Yang almost laughed when he heard this.
The salmon go on a hunger strike because they are migrating from sea water to fresh water. Due to the difference between sea water and fresh water, the salmon have to go on a hunger strike in order to protect their internal organs.
The salmon that have been caught on the boat can't swim back to the freshwater system from the boat? Isn't this nonsense
Salmon is known for its delicious meat and rich nutrition. It has always been regarded as a precious fish by people. But when it enters the other person's mouth, it becomes a waste.
The price is quite reasonable. When selling the fish to Li Chao, it is only a few hundred yuan per catty. Each fish weighs about ten catties, and the total price of the two fish is probably just over ten thousand yuan.
But how much fish did Li Chao catch from Xiangyang
The ones given to Li Chao are sold at wholesale price. How can the ones given to these people be sold at wholesale price
"Why don't you check the next fishing boat to see if there are any other rare catches?" Xiang Yang laughed, "We still need to fish, so don't bother us."
The real estate tycoon was stunned. Was the other party rejecting him
Xiang Yang ignored them and directly ordered the fishing boats to bypass each other and continue heading south.
On the other side, the real estate tycoon had an ugly look on his face. He also often ate seafood and knew the approximate price of two salmon. Although ten thousand yuan was not a high price to buy two salmon, it was definitely not a low price.
The most important thing is that this is at sea, and now we sell it directly to ourselves, which not only reduces the freight cost, but also eliminates the risk of the salmon dying on the way.
“You see, a small fisherman is just a small fisherman. It makes sense that he can’t do big business. If I were him, I would give those two salmon to myself in exchange for a chance to meet a rich man.” The real estate tycoon turned around and smiled at the people around him.
"That's right. Excluding fuel and personnel expenses, they may only earn a few hundred thousand a year. How can they compare with you, Mr. Tong? You can earn tens of millions from any single project." Someone nearby immediately flattered him.
"They are trawling, let's follow them and make sure they don't catch any fish," the real estate tycoon ordered half-jokingly.
The two ships slowly changed from sailing side by side to sailing in line.
Chen Qingsheng looked behind him with some concern, "Captain, you should have bargained with the other party for those two salmon just now."
Xiang Yang turned around and looked behind him, "What price are you talking about? Is the price you want to sell the fish worth more than 10,000 yuan for 100,000 yuan, or am I short of that 10,000 or 20,000 yuan?"
Xiang Yang can handle some ordinary catches nearby.
However, Xiang Yang would never sell those rare catches unless the other party was really sincere and offered a price far exceeding the market price.
It's not just Xiang Yang.
This is the case with almost all distant-water fishing vessels that are not owned by fishing companies.
Rare catches have always been easy to sell and people are always scrambling to buy them.
What is really difficult to sell is the huge amount of ordinary fish.
If you want to buy rare fish, you can only buy them together with ordinary fish. Otherwise, you can only pay a price far exceeding the market price.
Otherwise, the ordinary catches of those fishermen who do deep-sea fishing will not be sold at all.
This is the rule in the industry.
Although Li Chao seldom accepts the ordinary catches from Xiang Yang, Li Chao and Zhang Qicheng are in the same group. If Zhang Qicheng stops accepting those cheap sea fish, many of Xiang Yang's sea fish will have to be thrown back into the sea like garbage after being caught.
"But they are following our boat now, how can we fish?" Chen Qingsheng said helplessly.
Xiang Yang shrugged indifferently, "If they want to follow, then they can follow."
Xiang Yang didn't care at all that the other party was following his boat.
This is trawling, not fishing.
If the fish behind were startled, then they would be startled. Anyway, the fishing boat was moving forward all the time and the net was being dragged forward all the time. The fish that were already in the net would not be scared away even if they were startled, and Xiang Yang could not drag back the fish that had already escaped.
As for the loud noise, did it scare away the fish in front of the fishing boat
Stop joking. Even if there was no cruise ship following, wouldn't the noise of such a huge ocean-going fishing vessel moving forward be big enough
"Keep going forward and trawling the net as planned. We'll take a break after we finish trawling this net," said Xiang Yang.
"Okay, Captain." Chen Qingsheng had no choice but to nod.
