Chapter 101: The Wolf Travels a Thousand Miles

"Yes."

"I used to think Americans didn't eat jellyfish." Tang Hai used to be a chef, and he also cared about the recipes of other chefs, but he had only seen someone make jellyfish once or twice, and he still ate it himself.

"Diet food, I judge that the European and American markets are much larger than the Asian market, but the market has not been developed enough." Arthur cut a piece of diced pork and put it in his mouth.

Tang Hai's eyes lit up!

Tang Hai ate two-thirds of the burger in one bite on the left and one bite on the right, and the one in the middle went into his stomach, which was already the sixth burger he had eaten, but this was not much among the sailors who had just finished their work.

After a few conversations, Arthur told him about the jellyfish.

The problem of weight loss has always been the most serious health problem, and basically a random person is arrested, and in the eyes of nutritionists, more or less should lose some fat content. The market for weight loss drugs is tens of billions every year, and weight loss foods and negative calorie foods cannot be ignored. In the past, Arthur was a small boss of a commercial fishing company, and he sold whatever he made money, including jellyfish.

The main purchase is salted jellyfish, and the long-term partner is a company called Takihai in China Maoming, and there are several other companies in the take-out, and the annual purchase volume is millions of dollars, which is at least more than double the profit in the big supermarkets in the United States.

It was only later that FDa suddenly said that the jellyfish produced in China were not up to standard, and Arthur could not enter. Last year, Takikai took jellyfish to Europe and Japan for testing again, and there was no problem, and when he got the US FDa, he passed, and Arthur went to buy a few tons.

"Is there a problem with the Takikai jellyfish?"

"Who knows? That's what FDa says anyway. In those years, the production of fish and shrimp was greatly reduced, and the purse seine nets in Florida and California were full of jellyfish, and then in those years we ate all the products produced in the United States. Arthur raised his eyebrows and cut the meat.

Tang Hai understood and smiled.

If a country wants to sell something from its own country, there will be problems with other countries. The catering industry is also the channel is king, and when the domestic sales network is successfully established, the policy will be tilted again, and then let other countries come in, they will not be able to compete.

The United States has used a lot of this method, Tang Hai has seen lobsters once, if it weren't for the fact that 12% of the lobster production in the United States is really not enough to meet the domestic requirements, maybe it will also be passed that time.

Only Chao Xian is good, even if you take the gutter oil and put it in front of the three fats, the three fats will probably say, no problem, it's safe! And then I added, but I don't have that much money.

The three fats are the best representatives of a pig-like face and an open heart.

Arthur asked Tang Hai at the dinner table who he planned to sell the sail jellyfish to, and if there was no good collaborator, he could recommend one.

Tang Hai's target is the 'Flying Fish Feed Company', before Tang Hai invited the person in charge of the other party to eat a meal of carp drizzled in oil, and froze the leftovers to him for testing, the two sides reached a cooperation intention, the other party felt that the quality of carp in Washington State is much better than that of the Great Lakes region.

This company was not contacted by Tang Hai himself, but after he got Wallace's help, it was equivalent to entering this circle, and of course he could enjoy the resources of the other party to a certain extent.

This time, Tang Hai didn't want to trouble other families anymore, so he directly gave Feiyu a manager phone, and asked the other party to bring someone to do the inspection on the boat, and the price was easy to say......

Tang Hai said that as soon as the flying fish company was said, Arthur stopped talking, of course, the flying fish feed is not as good as the American non-staple food company, but it is also second to none in Washington state, in the production of trout feed, cod feed, salmon feed, it is definitely the world's top, because their feed contains a lot of animal protein! Unlike some other manufacturers, they are mainly soy protein!

A chubby figure pushed the door in, and Arthur frowned, "Is this fat vulture?" He's not easy to deal with! "The vulture is a scavenger, and this fat man is called Baoli, and he loves to buy the leftovers of various animal carcasses, so he is nicknamed 'Fat Vulture'.

"Hey, Poker Face, I heard you!"

"I don't need to buy feed anyway."

It turned out to be an acquaintance, so there was no need to introduce it, Tang Hai pulled out a chair next to him, and a fat man with Mediterranean hair sat down.

This chair is quite big, Tang Hai can only sit 2/3, Malena can only sit 1/3, Baoli sits down, but there is still half of the meat outside......

His clothes are also weird, and there is a cool feeling to look at, but they are full of 'flying fish feed'. Baoli is also a regional-level celebrity, he can get one or two thousand 'advertising fees' a month when he wears this dress, and he wears this dress every day for this money, which is really ......

"How about a sail jellyfish that has just landed at 40 cents a kilogram?"

"Oh, Shet, 2,800 tons is just over $1 million? This is the result of my friends and I who have been sleepless, and your price is too unreasonable! I've heard that salted jellyfish skins in the supermarket cost $3 a pound! ”

"That's the jellyfish skin of the cannonball jellyfish, the lower part of the jellyfish skin and the tentacle part of the jellyfish skin are to be discarded, and the jellyfish skin must also be processed, and there are labor costs......"

The price of seafood fluctuates seasonally, Tang Hai wants to calculate it according to the most expensive time, but Baoli wants to calculate it according to the cheapest time, and the biggest contradiction between the two is here!

The highest price of salted jellyfish skin is more than $3 per pound, a kilogram costs $7, and the whole jellyfish purchase also costs $2 a kilogram, Tang Hai said that even if I don't give a dollar, why should I give 80 cents, right?

Baoli directly took the salted jellyfish skin for $2 a pound when the jellyfish was abundant, and the price dropped by almost half, and said that it was 45 cents at most......

Quarrels often broke out here at the docks, and no one would pay much attention to Tang Hai and Baoli's arguments.

In the end, there was still no negotiation, Tang Haidao: "Things have just entered the warehouse, you take someone to see it now, it doesn't matter what to check, I rented a warehouse for two days, low temperature refrigeration, 3 US dollars a ton a day, if you don't take the goods away before 12 noon tomorrow, I will have to pay the money for the third day, and then I will sell the things decisively to the non-staple food feed factory here!" ”

The fuel consumption cost of this batch of jellyfish Tang Hai is not too high, God gave away the money for nothing, he doesn't care too much about taking 500,000 and taking 1 million, but if Baoli, the old partner, doesn't give him a satisfactory price, he would rather lose money himself, but also kill the other party ruthlessly!

Malena and Jason and others were not dissatisfied with Tang Hai's decision.

Their style of doing things is that if they can't reach for what belongs to them, then they will take the gun and get it!

This style of doing things makes the Dahlia Fishery hit a wall everywhere, but the most important thing is that they won't get it, if their fish and fish quality are enough, I believe the situation will be different.

"oK, I'll go and see the goods now, and if it's suitable, I'll be able to pick it up in the evening."

Baoli came in a hurry and hurried away.

"Malena, it seems that the feed of the top juveniles is more expensive than the meat, right?"

"Well, there are two or three dollars a pound, which can ensure the survival rate and health of juvenile fish, such as turbot, the survival rate of artificial breeding ranges from 3% to 25%, with an average of 5%, only the top juvenile feed can increase this figure to 10%, and turbot is much more expensive than sea crabs."

The purchase price of seafood for feed generally fluctuates by 50 cents, and Baoli saw that Tang Hai did not invest in the feed fee, so he wanted to take it at a low price, but Tang Hai knew that the sail jellyfish had been fed by himself, although it was only a little ......

"Help me contact someone from the by-product company and let him watch us do the tests for a while. If the price offered by Baoli does not satisfy me, I will sell it to a by-product company in front of Baoli! ”

When he came to the United States, Tang Hai certainly met Peter and Bill, who were really good friends.

But it's not the first time I've seen someone like Baoli who plans to eat acquaintances.

The wolf traveled thousands of miles to eat meat, and Tang Hai ran so far overnight not to eat grass! If the other party doesn't have that kind of 'hello, hello, everyone' idea, Tang Hai doesn't mind leaving a deep memory for the other party!

Arthur and the trio were all a little surprised when they looked at Tang Hai, only Malena suddenly showed a smile.
