Chapter 70: Northrop

"Do you feel that the consortium is still very generous?"

Joel smiled: "There are not many opportunities like this." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Zhou Yu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Let's not mention this matter first." ”

Joel was stunned, originally he thought that Zhou Yu was going to agree immediately. I didn't expect to wait for such a sentence, and I couldn't help but turn in my heart.

"I'd like you to eat seafood at noon, and after that, we'll talk about it again, how about it?" Zhou Yu said.

"It's up to you." Joel shrugged.

Zhou Yu picked up the phone: "Old Bell? ”

"Boss."

"Prepare some seafood, I'm going to feast guests at noon."

"Okay."

But half an hour, Lao Bell and a few fishermen each carried a net to Zhou Yu's villa.

Old Bell's face was black and red, it was sunburned, and he smiled: "Boss, the seafood you want." ”

Zhou Yu nodded, looked carefully, there were Alaskan salmon, Dungeness crab and lobster!

And it's not small, in the case of Alaskan salmon, it's two or three kilograms. Dungeness crab should have the appearance of seven or eight hundred grams, and lobsters are almost the same.

Old Bell said in due course: "The growth rate of the seedlings put in in the spring is beyond the expectations of all of us, and it seems that their habits have also changed. ”

He hesitated: "Alaskan salmon is a migratory fish, and the fry we buy in the spring are all raised in the freshwater river for one to two years. We found that the Alaskan salmon in the fishery had been migrating for some time, not far north of the farm, in the creek where the wooded area flows into the sea. ”

"They seem to be sexually mature..."

Zhou Yu knew it when he heard this, and it was clear that the function of the jade seal was at work.

So he smiled and said, "Isn't that a good thing?" ”

"The boss is right." Old Bell laughed.

Just because your fishery is on track doesn't mean you're going to be profitable right away. According to Old Bell's experience, it will not be until at least next year that the fishery will gradually produce something, but I didn't expect the seedlings to grow so quickly!

Basically, you can make a profit this year - you know, the dividends of the fishermen are linked to the fishing grounds. Only when the fishery is profitable can there be dividends!

"This is Dungeness crab?" On the side, Joel couldn't help but say: "It looks pretty good, but it's a little smaller." He gestured.

The high-grade Dungeness crab should be at least one kilogram in size. And Zhou Yu is here, only seven or eight hundred grams, more than one smaller.

"Size is not the main thing, the taste must be authentic, which is the king." Zhou Yu smiled mysteriously and entered the kitchen with a few net pockets.

The noon seafood feast, obviously, conquered Joel and Essala.

Just like the high-end fruits on the farm, the seafood produced on the farm is also not equally idle. Both the taste and texture and the umami aroma are much stronger than the best seafood on the market!

After eating, both Joel and Aishara were flushed and satisfied.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Then, I can give you two answers now." ”

Immediately, Joel sat up, and Aishara cheered up.

"I can provide some of the fruit from the farm to Walmart for retail." Seeing that Aishara was overjoyed all of a sudden, Zhou Yu waved his hand: "Don't be happy yet, listen to me." ”

"Now this part of the farm's output is not good, and I can divide half of the output of the new farm area and hand it over to Wal-Mart."

"Less." Aishara said immediately.

"I know." Zhou Yu smiled: "Then Ms. Walton, what do you think, how about the seafood in my fishing ground?" ”

Hearing this, Aishara was slightly stunned, stared for a moment, and then realized: "Zhou, you mean that the output of the fishery can be given to Wal-Mart?" ”

"Correct." Zhou Yu laughed: "St. Mary's Company does not do aquatic products. ”

"If that's the case," Azhara smiled, "absolutely." ”

"Okay." Zhou Yu nodded: "My seafood is extraordinary." The taste or something, you have an experience, so I won't talk about it. When the seafood starts fishing, I think Ms. Walton can learn from St. Mary's and take the seafood to the major laboratories for identification! ”

Aisara's eyes brightened: "A more high-end seafood brand!" ”

"That's it." Zhou Yu said with a smile: "The fruits on my farm, even if they are gold-grade, their ex-factory prices are a little less than the same variety of high-quality fruits on the market, and the platinum level exceeds the ordinary special grade." And the price of St. Mary's retail sale is more than twice the exit price, Ms. Walton, and you can see the profit. ”

"It is completely possible to copy the path of St. Mary's and make a more high-end seafood brand." Zhou Yu smiled.

"If that's the case, Zhou, your fishing grounds are too small." After Eshara was overjoyed, she suggested: "I heard that your fishing grounds are only more than 20,000 acres of water, and we have Wal-Mart branches all over the world. Output is likely to be in short supply. ”

It's a fact.

However, Zhou Yu smiled: "The road has to be taken step by step, the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, take your time." ”

After a pause, Zhengse said: "Walmart has the best sales channels in the world, and I have the best products in the world, and our cooperation is a win-win situation." I can promise here, as long as Walmart doesn't make mistakes, I promise that my seafood will be served exclusively to the greatest extent possible! ”

Azhara nodded happily.

"So, when is it caught?" She couldn't wait.

"It's still early." Zhou Yu waved his hand: "You have also seen that the seafood in the fishing ground, in terms of quality, is a little worse." "Especially the size, whether it's salmon or Dungeness crab, it's not as big as the highest on the market now.

"If you want to do it, you can do it best, at least it can't be worse than ordinary seafood." Zhou Yu added: "I think that by October or November, let them grow for another three or four months, and it may be about the same." ”

Azhara bowed slightly.

The cooperation between Zhou Yu and Wal-Mart is different from that of ordinary merchants. Many merchants rent Wal-Mart's counter berths, pay rent, and sell them themselves. And Zhou Yu's seafood is sold directly to Wal-Mart, and as for retail, it is Wal-Mart's business.

Of course, the cooperation agreement is only verbally reached.

The specific terms of the contract, the price, etc., must wait until the seafood is harvested and submitted to the research institute for appraisal before the price is set.

Seeing off Joel and Aisara, Zhou Yu groaned.

Lin Quan's previous estimate of the annual output value of agricultural products did not include fishing grounds. However, even if the fishery starts to make a profit this year, the output value is not high.

There are not many seedlings in the fishery this year, because Old Bell thinks that he should try it first. If not, do so to avoid greater losses.

Therefore, according to Zhou Yu's estimate, even if the price of seafood in the fishery can be comparable to the fruit on the farm, or even slightly exceeded, its output value is probably only about 100 million.

Zhou Yu called Lin Quan.

"I've got an agreement with Walmart to sell seafood." Letting Lin Quan sit down, Zhou Yu said: "But the output of the fishery this year is not much, after all. So, from now on, the fishery should be ready for the coming year. ”

"The first one, the foundation of the fishing grounds, is already complete." The so-called foundation is the growth of plants and algae in the fishing grounds.

Zhou Yu understands this very well. Every time he goes out to sea on a yacht, Zhou Yu will dive down and take a look at the bottom of the sea. By now, the bottom of the fishing ground has almost become a primeval forest!

All kinds of seaweeds and plants grow extremely luxuriantly and vigorously.

As a result, even though the fishery area is not large, the capacity for fish has grown to a very high level.

"The second one has proven the goodness of the fishery environment."

The rapid growth of fish and the attraction of many other wild fish have made this area more environmentally sound than most, if not all, of the fishing grounds in the first place.

"Third, sales channels have also opened up in advance."

"So, the fishery can be free." Zhou Yu said: "After you go down, tell Lao Bell that it is urgent to put more and more types of seedlings." As for how much to put in the right place, you ask Old Bell. How much money you need, just report it to me. ”

"Okay, boss."

Then, Zhou Yu called Hank again.

"Hey man," Zhou Yu said with a smile: "How are the sales recently?" ”

"Very good!" Hank's voice is loud and passionate.

"I need a sum of money." Zhou Yu's next sentence made Hank choke.

"Man, didn't you just borrow more than 200 million before?"

"It's true, but I do need a sum of money right now." Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Presumably, a lot of funds have been withdrawn during this time, so you can transfer 600 million to me." ”

"Six hundred million..."Hank said helplessly, "man, you have to clean the company's money bag again!" ”

"That's it." Zhou Yu laughed and hung up the phone.

He doesn't have much money in his hand now, and there are only tens of millions of dollars left on his bank card.

After reaching a cooperation with Wal-Mart, it needs to pay another 500 million US dollars to obtain 1% of Northrop's equity from the consortium. Then the fishery expands the scale of farming, which also requires a sum of money.

Therefore, it was just right for him to ask Hank for 600 million.

Hank moved very quickly, and the money arrived in the account only half an hour after the call.

Zhou Yu didn't say a word, and called Joel directly to tell him that he was ready. Joel told him to wait for three days, and after three days, trade equity.

Putting down the phone, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, he can be regarded as gradually stepping into the upper echelon of the United States.

Lockheed Corporation had 1.7 percent earlier, and then Hull took advantage of the chaos to buy 1 percent, and then gave the loan to Hull, and during this period of time, it was successively obtained to 0.5 percent. In this way, his shares in Lockheed have reached 3.2 percent.

This time, it bought a 1% stake in Northrop.

The equity of these companies, in the true sense of the word, is more meaningful than any Apple or any Amazon.
