"There are only more than a hundred. I will keep a small portion and can give you a hundred." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
When Wei Zhongtian heard that Xiang Yang had more than a hundred wild king crabs, his eyes lit up.
But when he heard Xiang Yang say that he would keep a small portion and only sell him 100, he quickly said, "Boss Xiang, please give me the rest. I can pay a high price and we can continue to cooperate in the future."
In fact, things like king crabs are not what Wei Zhongtian urgently needs.
Although the king crab is precious, the technology of artificial breeding and cultivation is really very mature. With Wei Zhongtian's ability, it is not difficult to get wild king crab.
What Wei Zhongtian was really targeting was Xiang Yang's fleet.
Xiang Yang's fleet, although it only has three fishing boats in total, seems inconspicuous.
But in fact, Xiang Yang’s three fishing boats are all ocean-going fishing boats, and the amount and quality of seafood they catch are terrifying.
Wei Zhongtian was very eager to establish a relationship with Xiang Yang's fleet.
It would be best if both parties sign a long-term supply contract.
Xiang Yang naturally knew what Wei Zhongtian was thinking.
But Xiang Yang had no intention of signing an agreement with Wei Zhongtian.
Because Xiang Yang’s seafood basically has no worries about sales. As long as it is shipped ashore, it will be sold out immediately.
Even Xiang Yang's old customers would sometimes quarrel over a little more catch.
In this market scenario, if Xiang Yang had not formed a new fleet, he would never have thought of developing new customers.
Wei Zhongtian saw that although Xiang Yang's tone was polite, his attitude was very firm. He immediately knew that Xiang Yang would never make any concessions.
Wei Zhongtian immediately said, "Okay, I'll take this batch of king crabs. I'll give them to you at the market price here."
Xiang Yang was a little surprised and said, "Why don't you take a look at the goods first? Aren't you afraid that I will sell you the king crabs you farmed?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhongtian grinned and said, "This is our first deal, but it will definitely not be our last. I am a person who values integrity the most when doing business."
Xiang Yang thought about it for a moment and then understood.
Yes, the other party is the owner of a hotel. This amount of seafood is actually not worth his attention. Even if there is a loss, it is just a small loss for him.
The other party's real intention was to make Xiang Yang feel good about him through this method.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yang stopped worrying about it and directly asked Chen Qingsheng and Wei Zhongtian to complete the transaction. As for Xiang Yang himself, he walked towards the fishing boat.
After resting for a day in the city of Haikou and replenishing some fresh water resources for the fishing boats, the fleet continued to head south.
Two days later, the fleet arrived at a deserted island.
On this deserted island, in addition to a large number of coconut trees, there is also a kind of sea turtle called hawksbill turtle everywhere.
The hawksbill turtle is actually a marine animal belonging to the class Reptilia and the family Cheloniidae.
An adult hawksbill turtle can generally grow to a carapace length of about one meter and weigh more than one hundred kilograms.
These turtles look very strange, with two pairs of frontal scales on their heads, laterally flattened snouts, and a hooked upper jaw that is shaped like an eagle's beak.
There are two pairs of frontal scales, the carapace scutes are arranged in a shingle-like manner, and the keratin plates on the dorsal side are arranged in a shingle-like manner. The surface is smooth with alternating brown and light yellow patterns.
These turtles have flipper-like limbs, two claws on the forelimbs, and a tail so short that it does not protrude from the shell.
"This kind of sea turtle is called Hawksbill turtle. Its main living areas are shallow lagoons and coral reefs. The many caves and valleys in the coral reefs provide it with a place to rest. The coral reefs also house sponges, which are the main food of Hawksbill turtles. This is a sea turtle that can digest glass." Xiang Yang introduced to the crew.
The hawksbill turtle's diet also includes invertebrates such as jellyfish, anemones, shrimps, crabs and shellfish, as well as fish and seaweed. They are distributed in a wide range of oceans and are mainly found in tropical regions of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Hawksbill turtles are large and ferocious carnivorous animals in the ocean. They often appear in coral reefs and mainly prey on fish, shrimps, crabs and mollusks, and also eat seaweed.
It has strong mobility and swims fast.
Hawksbill turtles like to forage in coral reefs, continental shelves or shallows covered with brown algae.
Although hawksbill turtles are omnivorous, their main food is sponges.
Sponges make up 90 percent of the hawksbill turtle's diet.
However, hawksbills generally only feed on a few specific sponge species, such as Heliconemes and Tenesmus.
In addition to sponges, the hawksbill turtle's diet includes algae and cnidarians such as jellyfish and anemones.
Hawksbills also prey on the extremely dangerous hydroid Portuguese man-of-war jellyfish.
Hawksbill turtles close their unprotected eyes when feeding on cnidarians, and the stinging cells of highly venomous animals such as Portuguese man-of-war jellyfish cannot penetrate the scaly head of the hawksbill turtle, so the hawksbill turtle is not threatened.
Hawksbill turtles sometimes prey on shrimps, crabs and shellfish. Their jaws are very powerful and can crush crab shells and even very hard and thick shells, such as bivalves. The hawksbill turtle's mouth provides convenience for it to prey on small shrimps and squids in the crevices of corals. The eagle-like hooked mouth can easily hook them out.
Hawksbills are very adaptable and resistant to their prey, and some of the sponges they feed on are highly toxic and often lethal to other organisms. Hawksbills also choose to feed on sponges that are rich in silica spicules.
Because hawksbills have unusually strong shells, they have few major predators, as few animals can bite through their shells.
Sharks and saltwater crocodiles are natural enemies of hawksbills, and octopuses and some surface fish also prey on adult hawksbills. Hawksbills often feed on sponges, which carry the unpleasant smell of some sponges. Hawksbills also feed on poisonous sponges and cnidarians, whose meat contains a considerable level of toxicity, which can sometimes deter some natural enemies or humans.
Xiang Yang walked up to a hawksbill turtle that was more than one meter long.
The huge hawksbill turtle immediately raised its head and looked at Xiang Yang vigilantly.
Xiang Yang didn't care much about it, because he had no intention of catching this huge hawksbill turtle.
Although hawksbill turtles are ferocious and will bite people when caught, they will not actively attack humans unless they are hurt.
As long as Xiang Yang does not actively hurt the hawksbill turtle and merely approaches it, it will have a certain degree of hostility towards Xiang Yang, but it will never be hostile enough to directly attack Xiang Yang.
At this time, Chen Qingsheng came over with a few crew members from not far away. He asked, "Boss, do you want to catch these hawksbill turtles?" (To be continued)
