Chapter 107: Boston Fish Hatchery
"Forty dollars for giant shrimp, thirty dollars for tiger groupers, one hundred dollars for king crab, one hundred dollars for geoduck, thirty dollars for dragonfish, twelve dollars for red flowers, two hundred and forty dollars for wrestle eyebrows, this is useless, don't let you raise, Atlantic salmon forty dollars, bluefin gold guns sixty to two hundred dollars, yellowfin forty dollars, bigeye tuna 65 dollars, Masu tuna ...... one hundred dollars" Sitting on the car bound for Boston, Jiang Hai looked at the form in his hand and muttered quietly.
Edward Anderson, who was driving, glanced at Jiang Hai with a smile, and then shook his head slightly.
Ever since Jiang Hai wanted to raise precious seafood that day, he had been studying these things as if he was obsessed.
He first looked up some information on the Internet, and then went to the local fish market to ask, and of course, there were Chinese restaurants.
What he is muttering now is the data he has researched these days, of course, the units are all KG, there is no such thing as catties in the United States, and when converted into pounds, Jiang Hai is still too lazy to do this.
Aquatic products, especially seafood, are naturally priced differently in different locations and sizes.
He was talking about the normal average price, not the price of the superlative.
No matter what it is, as long as it is a high-grade product, the price is not ordinarily high, take the cod that Jiang Hai thinks is worthless, for example, as long as the cod is more than one meter, it has to be sold for thousands of dollars every day, and if it is more than one meter five, it will be sold for tens of thousands of dollars.
In normal times, the cod that can be shipped is only 30 centimeters long, that is, more than a catty is limited, and the two are added together, there is no 1.5 kilograms, this is the gap, and these small points, a pound of ultra-low temperature can only be sold for 80 cents, and a pound of chilled can be sold for 1 US knife 75 cents.
There are two ways to preserve fish, one is ultra-low temperature, that is, at a temperature of minus 60 degrees, the fish is completely frozen.
Although this will not spoil and is suitable for long-distance transportation, it also destroys the original taste of the fish, generally speaking, except for large-scale harvesting of distant-water fishing boats, there are few fishing boats that do this, of course, some cheaper fish, will also do this.
As for chilling, it is to use low temperature to freeze the fish slightly, and the freezing time is limited, and it can only be shelved for 12 days, but if it is sold to fishmongers on the eleventh day, the fishmongers will not accept it.
Basically, this kind of fish, is caught in the morning, sold in the afternoon, such fish will be wanted, and this kind of fish, basically are expensive guys, if the price of a clan does not exceed 30 US dollars, fishermen are reluctant to throw the fish in the chilled one of the warehouse, you must know that the freezer, it is just like the freezer layer of the refrigerator, is an ice storage, and the chilled warehouse, but like the air-conditioned room, the electricity that needs to be consumed, in the sea is diesel, but not generally high.
So Jiang Hai has been looking for those precious marine fish in the market these days, and at present, the situation is not bad.
In fact, if you want to raise fish to make money, the best choice is cod, because Jiang Hai's fishing ground, which is next to Winthrop, may be faster than driving, here in the morning to catch fish, and then go to sell, it is absolutely chilled, a pound can be sold for 1 US dollar 75 cents, even if a pound, according to Edward Anderson's idea, the initial investment of 10 million fish fry, the survival rate is at least about 60 percent, that is also 6 million, a tail of 75 cents, That adds up, it's also 10.5 million US dollars, plus some supporting ' The income of fish food, the annual income of 12 million US dollars should not be a problem, but it is necessary to cut out the fish fry money, the second year's fish fry money, the money to build the ecosystem, as well as the workers' money, the ship's diesel money, etc., the total investment in the fishing ground, there will be about 30 million US dollars, if you are lucky, you can return to the capital in three years, at least the fourth year can be stable, nearly half of the money every year, you can earn, of course, this half of the money, but also tax.
However, at least until the return of the capital, there is no need to worry about the problem of taxes, which is also one of the benefits of the US imperialists, for these farmers and fishermen, only the money they earn is charged, and the tax on the money earned back is not charged.
Originally, according to Edward Anderson's algorithm, Jiang Hai still had such money invested, after all, the money did not need to be invested at one time, and secondly, Edward had recently surveyed the underwater situation of Jiang Hai's fishing ground.
It was found that there are definitely a lot of underwater fishing, and with this decade of recuperation, the ecosystem under the Jiang Sea is extremely perfect.
The number of fish stocks is quite considerable, even if it is winter, there are a lot of fish under the water, and these fish in the water, according to Edward's preliminary estimate, must have nearly 10 million US dollars or so of fish, of course, this refers to the situation of being caught.
With this 10 million, not to mention just supporting the income of the fishing ground in the first year, even if it is all the buildings, Jiang Hai is enough.
But according to Edward Anderson's words, there is indeed nothing wrong with doing this, but let Jiang Hai admit it, he is a little unwilling, he has always thought, the same is fish farming, he also has a golden finger, why can't he raise some cattle 13 shiny fish? This is the situation where he went to the market and the Huaxia Hotel to inquire.
Of course, in addition to these things, there are some very valuable things, but Jiang Hai has not thought about raising, at least not now, the most famous of them are sea cucumbers and abalone, completely because of these two things, there is no market in the United States, although the domestic sales are just now, but just like the fishermen in the Atlantic region, knowing that the same thing, sent to China, the price will be doubled, but how to send it, this is a problem, some top goods, can be transported by air, but what about the transaction of Dazong?
All by air? That's...... After the ultra-low temperature is frozen, go to the thawing again, the taste is different, it can't be sold at a price, and the chilled one, only twelve days of fresh-keeping time, the first day of catching, the second day to start sending, if you take the sea route, without encountering any trouble, across the Atlantic, then across the Indian Ocean, to the Pacific Ocean, and then turn a corner, to China, twelve days enough to do fart...... So although Jiang Hai has the ambition to raise a large number of superlatives, everything has to be done slowly.
At least it has to be confirmed that he can raise such a good thing, and then after determining the market, he will decide whether to raise it or not.
But no matter what he decides to raise, he has made up his mind to raise the fry, but the number is a problem, and since he has decided to raise fish, no matter what kind of fish he raises, the ecosystem is ready to start building, so today, Edward Anderson took Jiang Hai to Boston, and they are going to raise fish.
However, soon after getting off the highway, they saw the Celtics' North Shore Garden Arena in the distance.
Looking at the stadium over there, Jiang Hai couldn't help but think of the trial that day, it was really funny, a ten-day short contract......
Of course, after that day, in fact, on the third day after that day, when they lost to the Nets at home and the Wizards on the road, Everd Bradley and Brad Stevens came to Jiang Hai's house with a guaranteed contract with an annual salary of 1.98 million, hoping that Jiang Hai could agree to join, but not to mention an annual salary of 1.98 million, even if it is an annual salary of 19.8 million! Belch...... Maybe Jiang Hai will be tempted, but unfortunately there is no zero, and the gap is still very big.
Why can't he make two million dollars by doing something? What's more, he has to pay half of the taxes to the US imperialist government, which adds up to a million US dollars, do you lack this money? Joke! At that time, he went to the sea to take a spin and it was more than that.
So in the end, Jiang Hai still didn't agree, and the two people who came to this said that they were quite helpless, but they said that they would not give up, whether they would give up or not, Jiang Hai didn't care, because then it was the New Year.
There's really nothing good about the New Year in the United States, it's not interesting to come to Christmas at all, the major competitions or something, and there is no feeling of the focus battle, that is, some TV stations will do some New Year's Eve concerts, if Jiang Hai is in New York, you can go to Times Square to watch the concert, and then soak a girl, count down, maybe you can also mix a kiss at the end of the New Year or something.
But obviously, he didn't have that heart to go, so this year's New Year's Eve, he stayed at home and crossed it by himself.
With the arrival of the January equinox, the Boston area has also come to the coldest time of the year, after Bell also returned, Robbins and others had to end the holiday early and began to get busy, as for John and Louie, they also returned to where they should go after the New Year, although Jiang Hai's manor and it was very fun, but after all, they still had their own things to estimate.
And Edward and Jiang Hai also have something to do, that is, they are going to buy aquatic plants.
The basic composition of the ecological food chain is that big fish eat small fish, small fish eat dried shrimp, and dried shrimp eat aquatic plants.
Fish farming in Boston, unless you raise those very strange fish, otherwise, basically at the beginning of spring, that is, in March, you have to put the fry, and the fry go to the sea, you have to eat, of course, you can feed at a fixed point, but they also need to hide, to avoid being eaten by the big fish, so when the fry are released, the ecological environment must have been built.
Aquatic weeds are the most basic of all food chains, and they need to be put first, and when the aquatic weeds grow for about a month, they should start to put shrimp seedlings, crab seedlings, shellfish seedlings, etc., and after these seedlings grow for another month, they will start to put fish fry.
However, because the sea water in March is still very cold, so when the fry are released, they need to put a larger individual, and the larvae that are too small are not good.
While Jiang Hai was thinking about what to raise in his heart, the car slowly drove into the port in the center of Boston, where Jiang Hai had been, but this time it was in a different direction.
From afar, Jiang Hai saw a large grid box, which was the wholesale fish fry in Boston.
