"Mr. Gao, since I don't plan to participate in the transaction, I will go back first." Xiang Yang said goodbye to Gao Chuang.
"Me too." Wu Shiwen also stood up and said.
"You two wait a moment. Even if you don't participate in the transaction, it's always good to broaden your horizons." Gao Chuang said.
Xiang Yang and Wu Shiwen looked at each other and nodded tactfully.
"Okay, we will follow your arrangements, Mr. Gao." Xiang Yang said.
Gao Chuang nodded and said softly, "You are still too young to be in this ocean. When I was young, when I first came to Antarctica by boat, I also thought that as long as I dragged these fish back, I would immediately make several times the profit. Why should I sell them cheaply in Antarctica?"
"But later I understood a truth: only seafood that can be sold is called catch. Those that cannot be sold or those that die in your hands are just garbage."
Xiang Yang nodded seriously, "Mr. Gao, I understand what you mean. I will definitely follow you and study hard."
"We can discuss with each other what to study and what not to study."
Gao Chuang waved his hand and said, "These are all old-fashioned experiences for us. We didn't have cold water tanks back then, and some ships didn't even have freezers. Once the fish died, they immediately became worthless. It's not like now, with advanced equipment and many sales channels. I also tried to open online sales some time ago. You know a lot more about these things than I do."
Xiang Yang grinned. Of course he knew about online sales. He once specialized in selling wind chimes online for a period of time. Even Xiang Yang's biggest customer now, Mr. Li, was someone Xiang Yang met online.
However, since meeting Li Chao, Zhang Qicheng and others, Xiang Yang has rarely been online.
"And trade is naturally mutual. It's not just us selling and them buying. Countries around the world do not have exactly the same protection for animals. Some animals are protected animals in our country, but not in other countries. Similarly, some animals are protected animals in other countries, but they are hot commodities in our country. We'll go to that ship and take a good look around. Maybe we can buy some good things at a low price." Gao Chuang said with a smile.
Xiang Yang nodded, "Okay, I'll take a closer look later."
The captains in the fleet acted very quickly. Xiang Yang and Gao Chuang didn't have to wait long at all before they returned to the icebreaker one by one.
"Except for Xiang Yang and Wu Shiwen who are not planning to sell, are all the others ready?" Gao Chuang asked.
After receiving affirmative responses from everyone, Gao Chuang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go, tell them that we are ready."
Immediately, a crew member ran to the bow of the ship with two small flags and waved them for a while.
Soon, the crew member came over and said, "Boss Gao, the other party is ready too. We can go over anytime."
"What are you waiting for? Launch the rubber boat." Gao Chuang ordered.
More than a dozen captains were sitting on two rubber boats.
Soon, Xiang Yang and everyone else arrived on the giant processing and transport ship.
"Hey, my Eastern friends, you are finally here. I thought you were not coming." Xiang Yang had just got on the boat when a tall foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes came to greet him warmly in fluent Chinese.
"It's you? Ge Lan." Gao Chuang suddenly said in surprise.
"Hey, it's you, my good brother from the East, Gao." Carnegie Grant also said in surprise.
"Haha, I didn't expect it was you. I spent so much time preparing. If I had known it was you, I would have come earlier." Gao Chuang gave Carnegie Grant a big hug.
"This is my good friend. His name is Carnegie Grant. He is British. You can just call him Grant." Gao Chuang introduced him to Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang smiled and nodded, "Hello, Boss Ge Lan."
"These two are my friends, Xiang Yang and Wu Shiwen. They are my fellow countrymen and both young ship captains. The rest are captains in my company. You have all met them." Gao Chuang introduced them to Carnegie Grant.
"Wow."
Ge Lan uttered an exaggerated exclamation at first, and then said: "Xiang, Wu, my friends, you are so young and so admirable. When I was your age, I seemed to be still studying and going to school."
Xiang Yang smiled and didn't respond.
When the foreigner saw that Xiang Yang and Wu Shiwen were silent, he looked at Gao Chuang again, "Gao, you guys came at the perfect time. I just received a fleet from Latin America. On their fleet, there are a lot of sea chrysanthemum clams. I think you will like them very much."
Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "Sea Chrysanthemum Clam? Isn't it a marine creature distributed in tropical and subtropical waters around the world?"
Ge Lan showed a harmless smile on his face. "Yes, because they still need to stay in Antarctica for a long time, so they sold these sea chrysanthemum clams to me at a very low price. Correspondingly, my friends, if you want them, I can also sell them to you at a very low price."
Xiang Yang was about to speak, saying that he wanted to take a look at the goods first.
Gao Chuang spoke before Xiang Yang, "Great, my brother. I'm looking for a batch of sea chrysanthemum clams. When I think of their chrysanthemum-like appearance and colorful body color, I feel so happy. Take me to see them."
When Xiang Yang heard this, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
And Ge Lan frowned immediately.
Wu Shiwen looked at Gao Chuang, who had been fascinated for a long time, and then looked at the foreigner who looked like he had eaten a fly. He was a little confused and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yang, what's going on? Didn't the foreigner want to sell us that sea chrysanthemum clam? Why did the foreigner look unhappy when Boss Gao said he wanted to buy it?"
Xiang Yang smiled and shook his head, "Do you remember what Chen Bin told us before?"
"What did Chen Bin say?" Wu Shiwen asked puzzledly.
Xiang Yang smiled and explained: "There are two styles of sea chrysanthemum clams. One is elegant, represented by the Yingwang sea chrysanthemum clam, which looks like a real chrysanthemum. The other is vulgar, represented by the thick-shelled sea chrysanthemum clam, which looks like a colorful hamburger."
"Although people have always advocated that both the refined and the popular should appreciate the beauty of the sea, in fact, the price of the elegant King of the Sea Clams is more than ten times that of the vulgar Thick-shelled Sea Clams. Tell me, if you caught a boatload of Sea Clams and wanted to sell some of them halfway, would you sell the King of the Sea Clams or the Thick-shelled Sea Clams?"
Wu Shiwen's mind worked very quickly, and he reacted instantly, "Brother Yang, what you mean is that the fleet from Latin America only sold them some thick-shelled sea chrysanthemum clams, but not the King Ying sea chrysanthemum clams, and then this foreign devil wants to sell those thick-shelled sea chrysanthemum clams to us?"
Xiang Yang nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, that's probably it."
