Chapter 122: A Million Dollars Starts

"I won't bet anything! I'll bet with you that I'm my grandson, and this fish is a bluefin tuna, right?" Wang Weidong asked again after refusing.

"That's right, it's the bluefin, it's really strong enough, and I almost let it run. Yang Yi said with a kick.

Everyone else pouted, no matter how strong this fish is, can it still be as big as you? The weight of more than 300 kilograms makes you forcibly come out of the sea, if you lift weights or push the shot put, winning the world championship is not the same as playing.

"Okay, don't be stunned, the tuna will die when it comes ashore, you have to bleed as soon as possible and pack it up and freeze it, you stay away, don't get blood all over your body!" Yang Yi smiled and asked everyone to leave.

He took out the tool from the tool compartment, first struck it a few times with a wooden hammer on the fish's brain, then pierced it into the fish's brain with an iron vertebrae, and then used the knife to make a sharp cut in the fish's tail to bleed the tuna.

Then turn to the position of the head of the fish, and with a stroke of the knife, lift the gill cover, remove the gills from the inside and throw them aside, and the other gills are treated in the same way. Finally, he cut through the belly of the fish, pulled out the internal organs, and dragged the whole into the freezer chamber, freezing the tuna.

When several girls saw this bloody scene, they immediately hid far away, and even Wang Weidong and Zhang Feifei, two big men, did not dare to get too close, and only after cleaning up did they help wash the blood stains on the deck together.

"Yang Yi, why did you kill the fish? Isn't it just to store them directly in the freezer?" After cleaning up the bloodstains, the women came over, and Tong Ling asked suspiciously.

"This tuna is a peculiar one, it is one of the fastest swimming marine animals, reaching speeds of up to 160 kilometers per hour, which is faster than the fastest animals on land, and in the sea, it can only be matched by the most ferocious sharks and dolphins.

In addition, they are different from other fish, they swim all their lives, they can't stop, and when they stop, they will suffocate due to lack of oxygen. This is also due to the special body structure, the tuna gills have degenerated, always open their mouths, keep swimming, through the flow of fresh water through the gills to get oxygen, so they can not stop for the rest of their lives, and if they stop, they will die.

What's even more peculiar is that they are hot-blooded animals, with a body temperature similar to that of humans, and if they are not bled in time, this blood will melt into the fatty tissue, affecting the meat quality and taste of the tuna, so they must be slaughtered and frozen as soon as they get on the boat, so as not to waste this expensive fish!"

Yang Yi packed up his things and explained to a few people, this bluefin tuna can almost be called one of the most expensive fish in the world, and he has carefully studied the fishing and processing methods of tuna a long time ago, so the answer is also concise and clear, and everyone quickly understands the reason.

There is a line in the movie "The True Story of A Fei": "There is a bird that has no feet, it flies all its life, and when it is tired, it sleeps in the wind, and it only lands once, that is, when it dies." This phrase is very suitable for tuna, they are the "legless birds" in the ocean, and they have been swimming all their lives, so the meat quality is good, and it is rich in nutrients, so it has earned the title of "submarine beef".

Bluefin tuna is known as the most popular fish in Asia, but the cause is entirely in the island nation. More than 100 years ago, tuna was an out-and-out inferior fish in island nations. In 675 AD, Emperor Tenmu of the island nation issued a ban on meat consumption, and for about a thousand years, the Japanese basically did not eat animal meat. The preference for fish is also light and elegant, and tuna has a high fat content and is very perishable and produces an unpleasant taste, so they are also very disdainful of tuna.

After World War II, fishermen in island countries caught more tuna to meet domestic needs, and also produced canned tuna for export to Europe and the United States.

In the sixties and seventies, airplanes loaded with electronic products to Citigroup, the empty cargo compartment on the return trip was often stuffed with low-priced maple leaf bluefin tuna, which appeared more and more frequently in the market, and during the occupation of Citigroup, the island people were already familiar with the taste of beef and other high-fat meats, so they gradually became fascinated by the fatty belly of tuna, and bluefin tuna became the most popular fish species.

Humans are so strange that they abandon it when they don't like it, and when someone finds it so good, they flock to it, resulting in bluefin tuna, a fish that originally covered the earth's seas, to the point of extinction for decades.

Now wild bluefin tuna is difficult to catch, Atlantic bluefin has a fixed fishing season every year, and there is a quota for the amount caught each year.

In Asia and Australia, illegal fishing is also very risky, but in terms of farming, because tuna needs to swim and migrate all its lives, it is difficult to make breakthroughs in farming technology, and the fewer people are, the more people like the wild, so the price of wild bluefin tuna has been speculated to sky-high prices.

For example, the bluefin tuna caught by Yu Xiu weighs more than 300 kilograms, and looking at the fish body that is basically close to round, it is definitely the big brother level of wild bluefin tuna, and the rating in the island country is at least A, and its value is incalculable if it is auctioned.

This bluefin tuna has to be shipped to the island country at least one million, and it may be US dollars, if anyone says that one million yuan will be collected, Yang Yi will definitely tell him, just take a look and leave, don't be ashamed buddy, bluefin tuna is not something you can enjoy.

"Is this fish valuable?" asked Yu Xiu suspiciously.

"Please remove the word "yes", it is very valuable, very valuable! Such a large one is shipped to the island country starting at least one million dollars, and it is shipped to Yangcheng or Shencheng in Huaxia for less than four million, just let him see it, don't even think about it, sister, do you say it is valuable?" Wang Weidong took the initiative to start popularizing science.

Yang Yi smiled and didn't refute, although Wang Weidong is not very reliable sometimes, but for the price of something, he still estimates it quite accurately, this thing is talent, and others can't envy it.

"Ah, it's so valuable? A fish is worth millions, who can afford to eat it?" asked Yu Xiu in surprise as she covered her mouth.

"There are many people who can afford to eat, for example, my brother can afford to eat, and bluefin tuna is not stewed and eaten whole, it is sold one by one, only the top sashimi and sushi will use bluefin, and rich people have to make reservations if they want to eat, this is the charm of top ingredients!" Wang Weidong continued to exaggerate.

"Yes, I also heard that the Citigroup side can fish for tuna in September every year, and a 300-pound one can be sold for more than 100,000 dollars, and this one will cost at least 700 pounds. Zhang Feifei also came over and said.

"Okay, don't show off the goods of the two of you, this bluefin was caught by Xiuxiu, and she has the final say on what to do with it. Xiuxiu, I know a friend who also makes aquatic products in the island country, if you want to sell it, let's let him pick it up on the high seas when you go back, and then it will be shipped to the island country and sold!" Yang Yi asked Yu Xiu with a smile.

"Can you really sell it for so much money?" Yu Xiu still couldn't believe it.

Although she often hears people talk about bluefin tuna, she knows that this thing is also very expensive, but she didn't know that it would be so expensive, thinking that it was the same as lobster, no matter how expensive it was, it was only a few hundred yuan a catty, who knew that a fish would start with one million, or dollars, and it would cost six or seven million yuan. Counting down to 11,000 catties, do these people have nowhere to spend their money to eat such things that are more expensive than gold?

"Of course, believe me! After deducting taxes, this fish can at least arrive, five million to six million yuan, or a conservative estimate!" Yang Yi replied again.

"Then Brother Yi, look at it, it just so happens that Chengfeng is seeking to go public, and is raising shares internally, with this money, I just want to buy some shares internally, what do you think?" Yu Xiu said excitedly.

"Of course you can!" Yang Yi agreed.
