Chapter 82 I feel much better when you say that
Located in the northern Mediterranean, Crete is the largest island in Greece with a total area of 8,300 square kilometers. Crete is the fifth largest island in the entire Mediterranean, with a length of 260 kilometers from east to west and 50 kilometers from north to south, with three mountains over 2,000 meters long. Administratively belonging to the Cretan region. Described as the southernmost crown of the Aegean Sea, the source of many Greek myths, it used to be the cradle of Greek culture and Western civilization, and now it is a resort with indescribable beauty. Thousands of tourists come to the island every year to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
With the rapid development of China's economy in recent years, more and more Chinese people can be seen on the island of Crete.
Crete has a population of more than 600,000 people, and the largest city, Heraklion, accounts for more than a quarter of it, with a population of more than 150,000. In the past, when Ye Hai and others came to Crete, they all landed from the port of Herakion, and this time it was the same. And because Herakrion is the most populous, Yahi also chose this place as the first stop in the competition for the Cretan market.
Because it was the first time to sell fish, Ye Hai didn't know the bottom of his heart, and with the mentality of crossing the river by feeling the stones, he only let Andrew catch a few nets of the best sardines and it was over.
Although Ye Hai was uneasy in his heart, the few guys around him did not have this kind of consciousness at all. One by one, they woke up in the morning as if they were full of chicken blood, and when they arrived at the outlying islands, they all rushed to jump onto the little Princess, crowding the whole boat.
The princess was not big, plus four men, two women, six people, and forty or fifty catties of sardines, the boat was full at that time, and it was swaying when it sailed, and Ye Hai was flustered when he saw it. Because there were too many people, Ye Hai didn't dare to drive too fast when he drove the boat, and it took six hours to arrive when he was originally four hours away.
By the time it was time for Crete, it was already afternoon.
"I swear I'll buy a speedboat when I have the money!" Looking at the lazy crowd in the port, Ye Hai gritted his teeth and said.
"Let's think about how we move the fish to the door of the restaurant." At this moment, Jasmine's voice rang out.
Ye Hai glanced down at the tank containing sardines, thinking that a few people could move the fish ashore together, but did he really want to carry the tank while talking to those restaurant owners about business?
Doesn't that look a bit too much?
"This is easy to do, I'll just rent a car." As a local, Pierce frowned when he saw Ye Hai, snapped his fingers, and said easily.
"Well done, Pierce, I knew I was right to bring you!" Ye Hai excitedly encouraged Pierce.
Pierce disagreed with Ye Hai's sycophancy.
"I don't know who drove me off the ship in the morning......"
"Okay, don't worry about those details, go find the car." With that, Ye Hai pushed Pierce to the shore.
After Pierce left, the group continued to stay on the shore, and Kevin went to buy some ice cream and give it to everyone. A group of people sat on the edge of the dock eating ice cream while waiting for Pierce to return.
"The fish supply on Crete is basically monopolized by four Greek companies: Olive Tree Fishery, Thessaloniki Fishery, Nires Group, and SA Aquatic Group, where Olive Tree and Nireus are mainly engaged in distant-water fishing, while Thessaloniki and S.A. are mainly engaged in aquaculture. Although the Greek aquaculture industry has been greatly affected, these four companies are still strong, not only monopolizing the local Greek market, but also exporting the fish overseas, among which the SA Aquatic Group even sells the fish to your hometown of China. After a while, Jeffrey took the time to briefly recount the general situation of the Cretan fish market today.
"These are behemoths." As soon as he heard the names of these groups, Ye Hai was a little stunned.
"It's true that there is no small one." Jeffrey nodded.
"It's not that you're going to fight these companies right away, all you have to do now is open the market in the city of Heraklyon. You really think these big companies are going to take you seriously. Seeing Ye Hai's head drooping, Jasmine couldn't help but look at him for a while.
"That's what you say." Ye Hai's expression instantly improved.
Jasmine helplessly touched her forehead.
"Every company is divided into many parts, especially these large multinational companies. These companies don't care much about the Greek fish market compared to the overseas market, and they don't pay attention to it because the market is so small. The people they sent here to be supervisors are either some middle-level cadres of the group who are about to retire or the heirs of some group shareholders. These people are either here for pension or for gilding, and they are not competitive at all. Think about it, you are not competing with a group of bad old men or a few heartless rich second generations, do you still have so much pressure? ”
"When you say that, I do feel much better." After Jasmine's confident analysis, Ye Hai's expression brightened again.
"Wow, Jasmine, you know so much, what the hell do you do at home?" Listening to Jasmine talk a lot there, Ann looked at Jasmine with adoration in her eyes.
Kevin and Jeffrey also looked at Jasmine with a curious expression.
"It's a black and white business." When Jasmine was in a dilemma, Ye Hai interjected at the right time.
"What is a black and white business?" Ann asked purely.
"It won't be...... Arms and white * powder bar. Kevin asked tentatively, to be honest, he was taken aback by Ye Hai's words.
Jeffrey also glanced at Jasmine with some fear, thinking to himself that this chick is still a ** princess, it is too dangerous.
"It's just printing, you're all thinking too much. Jasmine's family runs a printing company. Ye Hai shook his head and said very firmly.
"Printing agency?" Kevin and Ann were at a loss again, and Jasmine looked at Ye Hai in surprise.
Then Jeffrey's voice rang out
"Black and white business, black and white ......"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and Jasmine stretched out her little hand and hammered it on Ye Hai's back. But obviously, being so troubled by Ye Hai, everyone forgot about the origin of Jasmine just now.
"By the way, while Pierce hasn't come back, let's discuss going to those restaurants for a while, and set the route in advance to save detours." Seeing that everyone was almost laughing, Ye Hai opened his mouth and said.
The other four nodded in agreement, and Jasmine was about to speak, but Kevin, who was sitting opposite, looked at the street and said, "Hey, why does this guy look so familiar." ”
Curious, Ye Hai also followed his gaze, and he found that there was indeed an acquaintance among the group of people who came over.
