Text Chapter 548 Fish King Auction
On both sides of the 'King of Fish', there were two groups of people standing, all whispering, and the leaders were all old people who were not small. One is Sato Jingshan that Xiao Peng has seen, and that should be a member of the Sato family. Xiao Peng, the leader of the other wave, didn't know the old man, but the person next to him, Xiao Peng, knew, Okamoto Dorjee! Then there is no doubt that this should be the words of the Okamoto family that Masako said, Okamoto Hengji.
It seems that his fish has really attracted a lot of big shots.
Okamoto Dorjee also saw Xiao Peng, and hurriedly whispered a few words beside Okamoto Hengji. Okamoto Hengji followed the direction of Okamoto Dorjee's finger and saw Xiao Peng, with a hint of complexity on his face.
Sato Jingshan also noticed Xiao Peng, and looked at Xiao Peng with an angry face, he couldn't forget the embarrassment of being driven away by Xiao Peng from Qianliyan, he had never seen such treatment in his life.
Jing Tianchuan is also a good person, he knew that there was a problem when he looked at the eyes on both sides, and smiled at Xiao Peng: "Xiao Sang, the old man is very addicted to smoking, and you can't smoke here, why don't you go to my office and sit down, and we will come back after the auction, what do you think?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." After saying that, let Cui Antong and the others go shopping by themselves first, and they will smoke with Jingtian first. It's been going on for hours.
In the office, Jing Tian didn't ask much, they were all smart people, and they must have known that there was a problem inside, but after all, this involved the affairs of Huaxia and the island country, so Jing Tian didn't express his attitude.
Xiao Peng didn't mention it, and he and Jing Tian were smoking cigarettes while chatting about some inconsequential things, but they were also happy. After a while, someone knocked on the door and told the two that the auction was about to start, so Xiao Peng followed Jing Tian back to the auction hall, which was different from the usual auctions, there were no seats, and everyone was standing.
The King of Fish Auction is not an ordinary one-price auction, but you can bid here. Xiao Peng and Jing Tian sat in the middle of the venue for the two of them, Jing Tian nodded to the staff, and a spirited auctioneer walked up to the auction table, this auctioneer was different from the auctioneer outside just now, with a suit and leather shoes, and meticulous hair grooming. In front of him there is a very dilapidated table, don't underestimate this table, when the Tokyo earthquake collapsed the entire Tsukiji Market, only this complete table was found from the ruins, and it has been passed down to this day and has become a symbol of the Tsukiji Market.
The auctioneer walked up to the stage, nodded to everyone, and shouted: "The auction of the king of fish begins!
As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, several young men shouted a loud trumpet together, and carried the 'fish king' brought by Xiao Peng to the auction table. You know, even in the Tsukiji market, the number of fresh fish is very small, and it would be good to have one fresh fish in more than ten tuna, which added a lot of points to Xiao Peng's 'king of fish'.
The auctioneer said that the king of fish is actually two meanings, one is the bluefin tuna brought by Xiao Peng, and the other is that all the bigwigs who are qualified to bid for this fish, they are the 'king of fish' in the other sense, after all, those who can buy this fish are all sushi chain owners or first-class seafood agents who have done a great job, and they are all rich and powerful masters, who can auction this bluefin tuna, then who is the 'king of fish' in this auction. Seeing that everyone gathered in front of the fish, the old auctioneer broke out the reserve price of the King of Fish auction. In the bottom fish market auction, the price is quoted in kilograms, that is, how much is a kilogram, like the small bluefin tuna auctioned outside in the front, the price is generally from 20,000 to 30,000, and the price floor price of some large bluefin tuna is from 5,000 island countries.
But when it was the turn of the fish king, the auctioneer opened his mouth and shouted directly: "The reserve price of the fish king, 500,000 yuan!"
When Xiao Peng heard this, his face was full of shock, this price 。。。。。。 It's too high!
Because the price of tuna meat is different in each location, if it is auctioned separately, it will be chaotic, so the auction is the price of the whole fish kilogram.
To put it simply, tuna has the most expensive belly meat, followed by the middle belly, and has less bare fat on the back, so it is also cheap. But even if it is big-bellied meat, it is about 100,000 yen a kilogram in the island market! And there is not much meat in the big belly after all, so even if it is a fish with good meat quality, after deducting fish bones and the like, it can be sold for almost 70,000 yuan a kilogram of island country.
In the case of tuna auctions such as Tsukiji Market, in the final analysis, it is still a wholesaler, and the middleman has to make it profitable, so the auction price is much lower than the market price. Therefore, the transaction price here is generally thirty or forty-one kilograms, which is good.
The price of Xiao Peng's 500,000 kilograms is terrifying! This is completely higher than the market price, and it seems that whoever buys it will lose money, but there are still so many people who are full of interest in the auction of the king of fish.
The auction of the king of fish at the Tsukiji market is always the highlight, and the tuna auctions here often have sky-high prices! All of this starts with Hong Kong man Zheng Weitao.
Although Cheng Weitao is a Hong Kong native, he has made the famous 'Itamae Sushi' one of the largest sushi chains, and he has developed a marketing method of auctioning the king of fish at a high price, and hyping up the sushi market and raising his own popularity. So for four consecutive years, he won the crown of the bottom fish king auction.
In the next few years, the Tsukiji tuna auction was in the limelight, and the scale of "three-flavor sushi" was expanding day by day, and there were even signs that the blue was better than the blue, after all, sushi is an island cuisine, and three-flavor sushi is a sushi restaurant opened by an island country, which makes people intuitively feel that it should be more authentic than the sushi restaurant opened by Hong Kong people.
Later, Zheng Weitao's Itamae Sushi simply withdrew from the Tsukiji Fish Market's King of Fish Auction, and the development of 'Sanwei Sushi' has become even greater.
After all, if you can take a picture of the 'king of fish', whether it is a seafood merchant or a chain sushi restaurant, this is a symbol of your own strength! The bluefin tuna that Su Long used to test the water last time was finally sold for exactly one million island dollars. That was created without such a big competition. The price can only be higher this time!
The starting price of 500,000 yuan is the highest under the regulations now.
Because in 2013, the starting price of a tuna in the bottom market was 840,000 island dollars, and the final transaction price reached 1.04 million! This news shocked the world, fishermen all over the world went to catch tuna, and the traditional fishermen of those island countries also switched to tuna fishing, which directly led to a direct decline in the production of other fish in the Japanese fish market in those two years.
This also attracted the attention of the Fisheries Department of the island country, and issued a document, requiring that the future tuna auction should not be inflated, and the starting price of the king of fish should not be higher than 500,000 yuan. In other words, the starting price of Xiao Peng's fish is already the highest price under the laws and regulations of the island country at present! The 'king of fish' of more than 370 kilograms, according to the starting price alone, is almost catching up with the bluefin tuna that was auctioned last time, after all, that one is only more than 200 kilograms.
Right now, the busiest person on the floor should be the auctioneer. Because everyone's offer is so enthusiastic!
"Odo Sushi, 510,000!"
"Superb sushi, bid 530,000!"
"Sato Suisan, bid 534,000!"
"Okamoto Fishery, bid 537,000!"
"Kashima Baofu Aquatic Products, bid 540,000!"
"Daxinggang, bid 542,000!"
Looking at the crazy offers of so many people, Xiao Peng's heart blossomed, it turned out that his fish was so popular, but the buyers here were extremely cautious in bidding. It is thousands of thousands of upwards, and the style of the island people is like this, they like to pay the least and get the greatest return.
Generally speaking, the price of 'King of Fish' can reach 600,000, which is already high. So when the price reached 650,000, the price began to be cautious, and it was 1,100 yuan up.
Xiao Peng noticed a problem, neither Itada Sushi nor Sanmi Sushi had bids.
Su Long was worried that Xiao Peng was not satisfied with the price, and said to Xiao Peng: "Boss, this fish is too big after all, so many people dare not eat this fish, if you eat it, it is easy to cause inconvenience in cash circulation, you can rest assured, with the fish in the limelight last time, the price of this fish will definitely not be cheap." After all, the heavy metal content of this fish is extremely low, and the fat content is so high, such a fish can only live in legends. ”
Xiao Peng smiled and shook his head: "Of course I trust my fish." What are you going to do?" Seeing Su Long holding a document bag, Xiao Peng asked curiously.
Su Long said indignantly: "Damn, the bureaucrats of the Fisheries Department of the island country are looking for trouble, and they have to check our tuna fishing license, are their brains broken? We have all sold a fish here, can we not have a fishing license?"
It is not that the bluefin tuna caught can be sent to the Tsukiji Market for auction, otherwise the fishermen who catch the tuna in southern China will not sell it directly. You must have a tuna fishing license before you can sell the tuna you caught. Chinese fishermen generally don't have this certificate. And Su Long came over last time for the auction, and went directly to handle one, although he paid a lot of money, but compared with the money obtained from the auction, it was all drizzle.
"Okay, you go, don't get used to these grandsons, just look at us as Huaxia people, come here to find trouble!" Xiao Peng said angrily.
"That's right, it's definitely pink eye!" Su Long came to a conclusion and took the document to the people from the Fisheries Department to verify.
After Xiao Peng and Su Long finished explaining, they turned their heads to look at the auction venue, and it was just like that for a while! The price had reached 850,000!
Itamae Sushi and Sanmi Sushi are finally in the war!
