"We have driven our transport convoy here. Do you think we can eat all of it?" Zhang Qicheng grinned.
"Okay, since Brother Zhang and Brother Chao are confident, let's just unload the goods. I haven't been back for a long time, and I'm still waiting to go home." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Li Chao raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you ask us about the price we offered?"
Xiang Yang smiled and shook his head, "I believe you."
In fact, Xiang Yang did not believe in the relationship between himself, Li Chao and Zhang Qicheng, nor did he believe in the character of Li Chao and Zhang Qicheng, but he believed in the credibility of Li Chao and Zhang Qicheng.
The business has already reached the level that Li Chao and Zhang Qicheng have, and reputation is more valuable than anything else.
Except for those monopoly enterprises, any large enterprise that wants to grow bigger and stronger cannot do without the thing called credibility.
There may be some small people who rely on their power to gain power in some large companies, but the top management is absolutely trustworthy, otherwise, their business will not be big.
Li Chao was not surprised after hearing this. He grinned and said, "Okay, since you trust me, I can't let you down. This time, I will buy all your seafood at a price higher than the market price."
Xiang Yang smiled and asked, "I'm not a big businessman, I'm just a fisherman. Brother Chao, why don't you take a look at my goods before you give me a high price?"
Li Chao smiled proudly, "When has your product ever been of poor quality?"
"Okay." Xiang Yang waved his hand and gave the order directly: "Move the goods."
Soon, a large water tank filled with sea water and covered with a large amount of ice was lifted off the ship by the crew.
Zhang Qicheng stretched his neck to take a look into the water tank and was immediately shocked: "This is Qingyi abalone."
"What?"
Li Chao was also surprised when he heard this, and then he immediately looked into the water tank, "There are so many of them, and they are so big. Brother Xiang, have you looted the South Australia waters?"
Xiang Yang smiled and shook his head. "I found these green-lipped abalone outside the New Zealand waters. My crew and I cooked and ate some of the smaller ones. The rest are basically big ones. I wonder if you like them, Brother Chao."
Li Chao was so happy that his eyes narrowed. "Nonsense, this box of stuff can be used as the treasure of my store. I may not even be able to keep this batch of goods by myself. If you dare to take it all for yourself, I will not be in the hotel circle anymore."
"There are more at the back. In fact, there were originally more. Unfortunately, I put all these green-lip abalone on the deck. Later, the fleet encountered a blizzard, and many green-lip abalone were blown away by the blizzard." Xiang Yang said regretfully.
After hearing these words, Li Chao was so happy that he almost jumped up. Then, he felt so sad that he thought it was a pity.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, bring them all down, bring them all down." Li Chao shouted loudly to the people he brought with him.
"Come on, let's count the money one by one. I've seen the size of these green-lipped abalones. They are too rare in China. I don't know what the current market price of these things is. I may have to wait a while for this sum to be paid to you. I will transfer the rest to you immediately after I finish counting the goods." Li Chao then said to Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. He was not in a hurry for money now and he believed in Li Chao's credibility.
"These are really good stuff, Brother Chao. Give me one tenth of these green-lipped abalone. I'll take them back for my family to try." Zhang Qicheng said with a smile.
"It would be polite for me to tell you about dividing it. I'll have a family dinner tomorrow. You can bring your uncle and aunt over. We'll eat our fill at once and pack up the leftovers to take away." Li Chao said generously.
Soon, all the catches were counted, and all the krill were thrown by Zhang Qicheng onto the two large trucks in the convoy.
The two large trucks were not able to tow all the cargo, so Zhang Qicheng quickly called another transport team over.
"Xiang Yang, all the goods have been counted. Calculate it yourself to see if it is this number." A few hours later, Li Chao handed the mobile phone to Xiang Yang, which contained an electronic bill.
Xiang Yang took a quick look at the breakdown of each catch, and finally his eyes fell on the total price, which was a total of 40 million.
Xiang Yang was surprised. Before coming back, Xiang Yang had already had a rough estimate of his catch. The total price should be around 20 million. How could there suddenly be more than 10 million more
"Mr. Li, isn't the price you offered a bit high? Even if it is 10% higher than the market price, these catches would be worth at most 30 million. How could it be 40 million?" Xiang Yang asked doubtfully.
"First of all, the price of green-lipped abalone in China is higher than you think. It's not that we don't export this stuff to our country at all. The main reason is that our country also has its own special abalone, so the tax is very high. If the tax is high, it will not be cost-effective for both buyers and sellers. Therefore, there is almost no green-lipped abalone in our country's market."
"Secondly, these nudibranchs and dancers are not the ornamental fish I like, and I don't do business in this area. But you know, I have some acquaintances in the ornamental fish market. Since you are selling these catches to me in packages, I will ask for you. I don't sell these dancers and nudibranchs according to the market price, but according to the selling price."
"Finally, it's these Antarctic krill. The local government of Longcheng provides additional subsidies for catching Antarctic krill, so the total price is a little higher than you imagined. It's normal." Li Chao said with a smile.
Xiang Yang shook his head and grinned, "This is more than 10 million higher, not just a little bit."
Li Chao smiled and patted Xiang Yang's shoulder. "In fact, most ships that go to Antarctica can only catch a few valuable sturgeons and a large ship of Antarctic krill."
"If there is no support, who would be willing to go all the way out, only to come back with a boatload of worthless krill?"
Xiang Yang nodded, that was indeed the case.
It takes almost half a year to travel from Longcheng to the Weddell Sea.
During this half year, not counting the damage to fishing boats, fuel consumption, wages of boatmen, and supplies, the rental of the icebreaker alone is not a small amount.
Moreover, few single fishing boats dare to go to Antarctica. The ships that go to Antarctica are generally large fleets.
Who would be willing to go to Antarctica after all the hard work, only to find that the krill they bring back cannot be sold at a high price
Longcheng strongly supports the aquaculture industry in catching krill, not because krill has a market. This is a competition for resources and has nothing to do with the market.
After all, if you fight more, others will fight less, and as a result, the gap will gradually widen.
Xiang Yang nodded. After knowing the reason, he immediately accepted the offer happily. "Okay, then just put the money on my card. Can you stay for dinner tonight before leaving?"
