"Could it be that the captain caught a sea snake, and you, Old Chen, were bitten by a sea snake?" Zhou Wang also joked.
"hiss-"
Chen Qingsheng first took a breath of cold air, then raised his head and said in a rather strange voice: "Look inside the net bag for yourselves."
Fang Youqun took the net bag and said, "Isn't there an Antarctic longevity fish in the net bag? Master Xu just said that this fish is only about 600 to 700 yuan per catty. A fish that costs thousands of yuan at most, Brother Qing, you don't have such an expression on your face, do you?"
“Hey, what is this?”
Fang Youqun only took a look into the net bag and suddenly raised his head, looking shocked and said: "Oh my God, my eyes, Brother Yang, how did you do that?"
Now, Xu Fang, Zhou Wang and others on the side became confused.
What else is in that net bag
Why did Chen Qingsheng and Fang Youqun only take a quick look inside and act as if they had seen a ghost
Even Xiang Yang was made to laugh and cry by Chen Qingsheng and Fang Youqun. "You two can't be that serious, can you? Aren't they just some green-lipped abalone? The number is not even as many as Master Chen caught. I only have a dozen or so."
"Is this a question of how much?" Fang Youqun looked at him as if he were an alien. "The biggest one that Brother Qing caught is not as big as the smallest one you have here, right?"
"What?"
Hearing this, Xu Fang and Zhou Wang could no longer sit still, and quickly ran to the side of the net bag, "Let me see."
"hiss-"
"Oh My God!"
The two of them only took a glance, and one of them gasped, while the other uttered an exclamation.
"Hey, hey, what's with your expressions?" Xiang Yang said speechlessly: "Didn't we just catch a few slightly larger abalone?"
"What's so weird about the smallest one being bigger than the biggest one caught by Master Chen? Most of the abalone I have here are three- or four-headed abalone, and some are five- or six-headed abalone. There are only three real two-headed abalones, and there is not even a single-headed abalone. Are you so surprised?"
"This is already unbelievable. Captain, you are actually thinking about catching single-headed abalone." Chen Qingsheng said embarrassedly.
Xiang Yang shook his head. "The big green-lipped abalone can grow into a single-headed abalone. Although the size of a double-headed abalone and a single-headed abalone is only slightly different, the price difference is huge."
In New Zealand.
If a fisherman catches a single green-lipped abalone, he will become rich overnight.
But if you catch at least one double-headed green-lipped abalone, it can only be considered a windfall.
In the New Zealand seafood market, double-headed abalone can usually be bought if you are lucky, but the price is very expensive, about 70,000 to 80,000 RMB, while single-headed abalone is simply not available in the seafood market.
In some large hotels or super luxury yachts in New Zealand, a single green-lipped abalone can be considered the treasure of the store, with the price of one being at least hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"Captain, this green-lip abalone is very delicate, and I see that these three double-headed abalones are very old. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be difficult to cultivate them into single-headed abalones. If they die, although they can be preserved for a long time as dried abalone, they are still not as valuable as living abalones."
Chen Qingsheng pointed to the processing and transport ship not far away and said, "How about we sell it right here?"
"Sold it?" Xiang Yang frowned. Even if he wanted to sell it, he didn't want to sell it to that blond-haired and blue-eyed guy. That guy was obviously a profiteer. He tried his best to lower the price when buying it, and when selling it, he was almost suspected of driving up prices.
But what Chen Qingsheng said makes sense.
Such a precious green-lipped abalone would lose a lot of value if it died.
Xiang Yang took out the intercom and said, "Wait, let me ask Boss Gao if he wants it."
Soon, Gao Chuang's voice came from the intercom, "Xiang Yang, you said you got some green-lipped abalone? Three two-headed ones?"
Xiang Yang gave Gao Chuang an affirmative answer.
Gao Chuang immediately became interested. "Okay, wait on the boat. I'll come over and take a look. If it's really a green-lipped abalone with two heads, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory price."
Gao Chuang has a big seafood business. Even though he is an ocean fisherman, he actually needs these rare seafoods more than Li Chao.
Without the inventory of rare seafood, many of his goods would be impossible to sell.
Soon, Gao Chuang arrived at Xiang Yang's boat by motorboat.
Xiang Yang asked Chen Qingsheng to put away the remaining green-lipped abalone and only took out the three double-headed abalone to show Gao Chuang.
"Just these three?" Gao Chuang took a quick glance and then raised his head to ask Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang hesitated for a moment, then told the truth: "There are still some, but they are very small, not as big as these three."
When Gao Chuang heard this, he immediately lost interest. He came to Antarctica so many times every year, and even tried to visit the New Zealand waters. He had no shortage of ordinary green-lipped abalone, only this big one.
"These two green-lip abalones are already very old, and their shells are very hard. There is almost no way to cultivate them into single-headed abalone, and they may die at any time after being taken out of the water. I can only make them into dried abalone if I take them back. I will sell them to you at the normal purchase price of 40,000 yuan each. The shell of this largest one is still very bright. Although it is very difficult, there is still a chance to cultivate it into a single-headed abalone. I will give you 50,000 yuan. My total offer for these three green-lip abalones is 130,000 yuan. Will you sell them?" Gao Chuang asked.
Xiang Yang frowned, "As far as I know, in the New Zealand seafood market, the price of a green-lipped double-headed abalone can often be as high as 80,000 or 90,000."
Gao Chuang was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Yes, if these three abalones of yours are put in the New Zealand seafood market, they can indeed be sold for about 200,000 yuan. However, can you sell them in New Zealand? Even if you can go, can you guarantee that these three green-lipped abalones will not die before arriving in New Zealand?"
"You have to know that the reason why the double-headed green-lip abalone can be sold at such a high price in New Zealand is that a large part of the money is actually the advertising and signage fees spent by those big hotels. Having such a large green-lip abalone kept in the aquarium of the hotel is enough to attract many wealthy people."
"The price of dried abalone made from dead double-headed green-lipped abalone, whether in New Zealand, in our country, or even in Europe, is only about 30,000 yuan. This is the selling price, not the purchase price. I am taking a gamble by offering 130,000 yuan for these three. If they all die on the way, I will lose money." Gao Chuang said with a smile.
Xiang Yang hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly, "How about this, you can take the two that cost 40,000 yuan, and you can take the 80,000 yuan. I'll keep the 50,000 yuan one and see if there's a chance to cultivate it into a single-headed abalone."
