Chapter 220: Integrity is Priceless
In the blink of an eye, it was already the fifth day of going to sea, Liu Danqing went to the cockpit and asked Tony, "Tony, are we going back to Hong Kong today?"
Tony nodded and replied: "Yes, we have to go back tonight, first of all, there are not many supplies, followed by fuel, although I haven't sailed much in the past few days, but the fuel consumption of the refrigerated tank is also very large, and finally there are a few frozen tuna, if it takes a long time, it will affect the meat quality." ”
"Okay, just do as you say, but isn't it dangerous to sail at night?"
"Qin, don't worry, for sailing, there is not much difference between day and night, what has a bigger impact is the weather, as long as there is no storm, there is no problem. ”
Tony gave Liu Danqing a reassuring pill and continued: "In fact, we used to fish, we all calculated the time to set off, sailed when it was dark, and waited until dawn, just arrived at the fishing point, and started fishing, after all, the more hours of fishing, the more opportunities there are." ”
"Hopefully today's harvest will be the same as yesterday's. ”
"Thank you. Liu Danqing thanked Tony for his blessing and went to the back deck.
Today's luck was not bad, I caught a yellowfin tuna of more than 200 pounds in the morning, and a bluefin tuna that had just crossed the passing line in the afternoon, which finally made those Gloucester fishermen a little more balanced.
"That guy was just lucky, and he won't be able to do it for the past two days. ”
During the day, Tony had a good rest, and as soon as it got dark, he started his engine and drove his fishing boat to Gloucester Fishing Harbour.
When I arrived at the fishing port, it was already the next morning.
Tony leaned the fishing boat against the dock and took Liu Danqing to get off the boat together.
They agreed to go to a company called Octopus, which specializes in tuna.
The company, despite its strange name, is a long-established brand that buys small, low-quality tuna, and delivers and arranges for high-quality tuna, from which it takes a commission.
"Hello, Mr. Danqing!"
As soon as he got off the boat, an Asian face bowed 120 degrees to Liu Danqing, speaking in Mandarin dialect.
Needless to say, this must be from Fuso, and other countries don't have this way of bowing.
The Fusang people are coming to the door now, it must be for the bluefin tuna on the boat, apart from these, Liu Danqing can't think of any place he can attract them.
"Hello, may I ask who you are?"
The person next to the bower immediately translated Liu Danqing's words to the bower.
It seems that this guy doesn't actually know Chinese, and the sentence just now should have been practiced by intensive assault.
I have to say that if the Fuso people really want to lower their profile and seek cooperation, it is really not full of ordinary sincerity.
The translator began to speak to Liu Danqing according to the meaning of what he said.
"This is Mr. Hanamichi Sakuragi of Fuso Konomura Co., Ltd., which has more than 70 sushi restaurants around the world and six branches in Kyoto, Moto, and other places in China. ”
Liu Danqing didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "Mr. Sakuragi, if you want this bluefin tuna, you can bid directly at the auction in Tsukiji Market, why did you come to me?"
"We would like to buy the 765-pound bluefin tuna directly from Mr. Dan Ching, and you can rest assured that our price will be 50 percent higher than the recent auction price of bluefin tuna of the same grade. ”
"But, I'm sorry that fish I've already arranged. Liu Danqing said apologetically, Yang Shuo called him last night, saying that the company's boss wanted to buy the big fish.
Two days later, there will be an Internet event in Paradise City, and Li Zetian, the CEO of Sky Platform, is naturally one of the giants invited, and according to tradition, these giants will each prepare a dish for dinner.
It is said that the sky platform should get a bird, but this guy has recently been at odds with the boss of the war fish, and the two have had several war of words, so this guy is ready to get the blue fin over, make a sea vegetable, and be angry with each other.
Besides, such a big tuna can invite everyone present to have a big meal, especially those reporters, who eat people with soft mouths, and it is reasonable to highlight the key points in a field of brilliance.
As for the price, Li Zetian offered three million, of course, transportation and the like are naturally included, Liu Danqing is now going to go through the formalities with Tony and consign the three fish back to China.
The other two are now owners, both of which were sold for 880,000 Chinese dollars, and one was asked by Li Daniu to go, saying that he would have a big banquet.
There is also a sister who is going to leave, saying that it is used when holding a wedding banquet for his younger brother, good guy, using such a big blue fin to hold a wedding banquet, this is forceful, and there is no one.
This is another wake-up call to Comrade Liu, the road of wealth is another road of wealth.
His leather bag company can also open an additional business to help people order big bluefins.
Whether it is a wedding banquet or a lively event such as the opening of a company, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to get a big blue fin of three or four hundred catties must still be very marketable.
Now Chinese people have money, not to mention big cities, even in third-tier cities, hundreds of thousands are not a matter for some small bosses, hundreds of thousands, increase face, this deal can be done.
This is not that Liu Danqing is in a hurry to earn that money, or that reason, to engage in outdoor brands and outdoor clubs, rich people are the main consumers, and through these activities, hooking up with them is what he really wants to do.
As for the remaining three smaller tuna, the bluefin Liu Danqing is ready to send them back to school for the teachers and classmates to taste, now he is not a college student with no experience, and some communication is still in hand.
Big Eyes gave the chess pieces, and the yellow fins gave Xing Dawei, these fish also have their credit, just like catching fish in the clear fish pond, they always have to send some big fish to the helpers.
The topic returned to the dock, Sakuragi Hanamichi heard that the fish had been sold, and immediately became anxious, and bowed one hundred and twenty degrees again.
The translator immediately translated his words into Mandarin.
"Mr. Danqing, no matter how much the other party bids, we at Konomura Co., Ltd. are willing to buy the fish at a price 50 percent higher than his. Our Mitsui Sushi under Konomura is the best sushi restaurant that will surely make the bluefin tuna you catch into the perfect sashimi and sushi. ”
"I'm sorry, we've already reached an agreement, let's work together next time, goodbye. ”
Liu Danqing didn't want to say more, so he bypassed the two of them and walked forward.
Sakuragi Hanamichi grabbed a few steps and continued to bow: "Please Mr. Danqing must be fulfilled." ”
Liu Danqing shook his head, stopped, and said: "I'm not a tuna fisherman, fishing is a pleasure for me, as for the price increase you said, in my heart, integrity is priceless, goodbye." ”
There was a cheer in the live broadcast room.
"Young man is good, integrity is priceless. ”
"Sell no one to Xiao Fusang, and I'm angry with them. ”
After listening to the words of the translator, Sakuragi Hanamichi bowed again, handed Liu Danqing a business card with both hands, and turned to leave.
Liu Danqing looked at him and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Little Fusang can bend and stretch, no wonder the business has done all over the world, so that the father of the United States is a little unbearable." ”
The two walked into the octopus company, and the boss Stephen was now waiting for the two of them in the office, as a person who made a fortune from the tuna fisherman, he also watched the live broadcast and received a call from Tony Sr. in advance.
"Welcome, Mr. Qin, and Tony, welcome to Octopus, I'm Stephen, please take a seat. Stephen, a big white man, probably two meters tall, saw the secretary come in with two people, and greeted them warmly.
"Cressa Krisa, bring in two cups of coffee. ”
After taking a sip of hot coffee, Liu Danqing said what he meant: "Mr. Stephen, I want to ask you to help me send those four bluefin tuna, one bigeye tuna, and one yellowfin tuna back to China." ”
"Huh?" Stephen was stunned and asked in surprise, "Is there a tuna auction in Huaguo?"
"Not really, but my fish are useful, and I'm not going to sell them. ”
Stephen was a little disappointed when he heard this, after all, those three bluefins were good fish, and 20% of their selling price was not a small amount. And if you just handle transportation, you won't make much money.
But he still nodded enthusiastically and said: "Yes, our company is very familiar with airlines, and we can handle transportation, if the cost is concerned, I will charge two hundred meters per knife, and I will give you a list of other air transportation and other expenses." However, on the Huaguo side, you need to go to the airport to pick up the goods yourself. ”
"That's natural" Liu Danqing saw that Stephen agreed, and his heart was also relieved, this transportation of refrigerated bluefin tuna does not have to be as simple as sending some frozen beef and other things, not only does it require special packaging, but also has to go through some quarantine procedures, which is more troublesome, and it is really not good to find an international express company.
It seems that Stephen is really the same person as Tony introduced, and he has a good character.
If you encounter someone with a bad character, and see that the business that could have earned more than 100,000 or 200,000 Chinese dollars suddenly becomes only a few thousand yuan, maybe you will pick up Qiao and open your mouth again.
Since he has recognized this person, Liu Danqing is ready to cooperate with him in the future.
"Mr. Stephen, after a while, we may have some cooperation between us, and I can buy you some tuna at a price one level above the market price. ”
Stephen nodded and smiled, "OK, this is no problem, as long as it is during the fishing season, I can provide you with frozen tuna." Out of the fishing season, there is only tuna that is frozen at ultra-low temperatures. ”
After sending four tuna to the Octopus' cold storage, the four of them went to a restaurant in Gloucester City for a meal and then went shopping for vegetables and spices.
By the time they got back to the ship, Tony had gone to fill up the gas and five boxes of frozen trash fish had been delivered to the ship. This time, they are going all the way east, in addition to tuna fishing, they will also go to the deep water to find Damarin.
