Chapter 15: Greasy
When he arrived at the mouth of the Pearl River, Gu Kun was originally sleeping to recuperate from his injuries, but his sister, who was acting as a lookout, shouted and woke him up.
In order to prevent the bumps from pulling the wound, Gu Kun slept in a hammock these days. It's been the fifth day since surgery, so heal well.
After waking up, Gu Kun felt his physical state a little, and felt that he could get up and move around a little today, so he called his sister to come and serve. Help him to get some fresh air on deck.
"Brother, slow down. Gu Pan was very careful in his movements, and he also approved a cloak for his brother, lest he catch a cold after surgery.
"What time is it?" Gu Kun asked as he took a deep breath of the cool sea breeze.
In February in eastern Guangdong, it is colder than the Wisha Islands, but the temperature is still more than ten degrees at night, which is quite comfortable.
"It's four o'clock in the morning. Gu Pan replied seriously.
"How much did we get in the end on this trip?" Gu Kun asked about the catch.
"All of them add up, about 20 tons, four or five tons of dead fish, but they haven't been dead for long. The cabin is only half loaded. ”
The boat rented by Gu Kun can transport more than 100 tons of dead fish if all the dead fish are loaded. If the seawater is stocked, only thirty or forty tons can be transported.
In the three and a half days after leaving the Weisha Islands, Gu Kun was recuperating from his injuries, and even handed over the work of steering the ship to Long Wu and Chen Li in turns.
With the loss of one of the most important manpower, the number of trawling operations per day had to be limited, otherwise the sailors would not be able to cope with the intensity of labor.
Therefore, in the past few days, a total of five nets have been laid, and the average harvest is two or three thousand catties per harvest, adding up to a total of 7 tons, and the proportion of precious fish is not high.
From this point of view, Gu Kun cut the appendix this time, and the loss was quite large - 12 tons were fished in the 4 days before the injury, and only 7 tons were fished in the 4 days after the injury.
These differences are converted into money, and at least tens of thousands of yuan have been lost, so it can only be said that it is not up to speed.
However, it is always a blessing in misfortune to be able to arrive safely, and the money is not endless.
After Gu Kun understood the account in his heart, he asked his sister to help him into the cab.
Long Chen and the others took turns steering all night, and when they saw the captain come in, they hurriedly said hello.
Gu Kun waved his hand to signal them not to be restrained, and then made a wish with little breath: "In the past few days, each of you has to do the work of two people, and you have to take care of my condition. Once ashore, don't talk nonsense about what you shouldn't say. ”
"Don't worry, captain. The two were not greedy either, and were overjoyed to assure.
While steering, Long Wu pointed to the fishing fires floating on the bay, and sighed casually: "Captain, I think the fishermen on the mainland are really hardworking, and so many boats have gone to sea so early. It's only four o'clock now, and the radio stations I used to listen to all said that Chinese people are lazy people with big pots of rice, and I really can't believe it. ”
"Hehe, that's the old yellow calendar from many years ago. Nowadays, Chinese people are very desperate to make money. Gu Kun couldn't help laughing.
It didn't take long for the first rays of the morning light to light up the sea, and the fishing boats were able to see each other's silhouettes and flags clearly—although they had seen each other before, but the main thing they saw was the lights.
Because Gu Kun's boat was flying the flag of Lan Fang, it was soon noticed by fishermen with good eyes. A fishing boat of several tens of tons quickly approached, and without asking about the situation, he directly shouted through a megaphone.
"Brothers on foreign ships, do you want to go over the barge, our shipowner is very talkative, ninety-five fold. ”
The other three didn't know why, so Gu Pan asked his brother: "Brother, what do you mean? What do they want to do?"
Gu Kun shook his head and instructed Long Wu: "You call back and tell them that they don't need it, we have a fishing license." ”
Long Wu shouted according to his words, and the other party scolded and left, probably cursing the relevant departments for how to issue fishing licenses to foreign boats.
Although the person was sent away, Gu Pan didn't understand the principle yet, so he caught his brother to get to the bottom of it.
Gu Kun drank some water, took a breath, and explained: "If a foreign ship enters the port to sell fish, the customs has an agency in charge of the storage of fresh perishables, and you have to report to it. At that time, the actual amount of the sale will be subject to a 13% tariff according to the guide price of the sold part.
The boat just now was eyeing us as a foreign ship, so he wanted to take over the work and transfer our fish to his boat according to the market. He is a national ship, so there are no import duties.
It's a thing that fishing boats all over the world do, after all, you can't tell which boat caught the seafood, and you can't control the cargo at sea unless you catch it red-handed. However, since we have a temporary license, we can't do this, and we must abide by the law in all our operations in China. ”
It's the same all over the world, and it doesn't even count as S.
In the 21st century, the fish along the coast of China were basically wiped out by the nets, and the Chinese fishing boats generally became larger and larger, going to the ocean to fish. Basically, you can catch it wherever you go, and then give it a 10% discount to the fishing boat of the local country according to the market price nearby. It is then transported back to the port by the fishing vessels of these countries, which is not considered an import.
However, there are also people who want to seize your handle to reduce the price or even eat black because of illegal fishing and bargeing in the exclusive economic zones of other countries, and then the dispute will become big, and it is often heard that fishing boats have accidents in foreign countries.
It's hard to go into details.
Anyway, this has nothing to do with Gu Kun, he will never do anything illegal in Huaxia, he is an international friend.
If you want to make waves, you can also go to Nanyang to do it, and you can make a name for yourself in a foreign land.
After listening to the captain's explanation, the three of them felt that they had benefited a lot, after all, they had never run a foreign port to sell seafood before.
After a few hours in the Pearl River Bay, at around 10 a.m., Gu Kun's ship finally docked in Guangdong.
With the captain's clear instructions, the three of them certainly knew what to do, and completed all the formalities in an orderly manner.
Before going ashore, Gu Kun also specially instructed Gu Pan: "Little sister, I asked you to sort out the varieties of Napoleon Mei, Tsing Yi, Stone Fish, Shanlong, and Nanmussel separately in advance, are you done?"
"It's been done a long time ago. Gu Pan replied very attentively.
"After a while, the people who put fresh food in the customs will come, remember to file the tax at the parity. For other fish, we just need to show a temporary fishing license. "Gu Kun commanded very law-abidingly.
Because Napoleon wrasse, Tsing Yi and other categories are specialties of the Java Sea, the Sulu Sea, and the Sulawesi Sea. In the South China Sea, only the southerly waters of the Shaosha Islands may have a small distribution.
Therefore, Gu Kun also took the initiative to declare tariffs on this part of the fish species according to the imported fresh food, admitting that these fish were not caught in the South China Sea, so that he could not be more innocent.
As for the benchmark price of tax declaration, it is a six-fold discount according to the average price of the industry previously counted by the customs - for example, for example, Australian lobster, if the average price of the local port is 100 yuan a catty, then the customs tax calculation will be 60 a catty at a six-fold discount, multiplied by a 13% tax rate. Even if your Aolong is particularly superb, and it can be sold for 300 yuan a catty in the end, it has nothing to do with the customs, this is a legal business.
Generally, when importing other bulk commodities, it is required that the declared price cannot be lower than the benchmark price by 20%. The reason why fresh food is relaxed to six percent discount is because it is necessary to consider that the owner may not have time to sell out and will spoil and have to sell at a discount and depreciation, so the tax basis should also be lower.
After some operation, Gu Pan and Long Wu and other guys who had never been abroad were almost dizzy, but fortunately, with Gu Kun's guidance, there was no leakage.
"The boss is really experienced, could it be that he has secretly been out of the country several times before?" Long Wu and Chen Li couldn't believe that Gu Kun was a novice.
