Chapter 303: Tokyo Unloading
Tokyo is the capital of Japan and the largest metropolis in the world, with a population of more than 35 million, not to mention the fact that these 35 million people eat and drink a day is a huge number, so how busy the ships coming and going in Tokyo Bay can be seen, and the Kawai Maru may be considered a good start in other ports, and the small physique of the Kawai Maru after entering Tokyo Bay is not even a grandson. As for smaller ships, it goes without saying.
The Kawai Maru was anchored at the Sumida River Waterway in Tsukiji Market, near the Hamarikyu Garden, and near the dock of the Mitsui Shipbuilding Headquarters.
As the Kagami Maru got closer to the berth at the pier, it became clear who would come up to greet the Kagaimamaru at the pier. The last time I entered Tokyo Bay, it was night, and it was already five o'clock in the morning when I finished unloading, and if it weren't for the more than 1,000 tons of large tuna, I still know how many people would have fallen off their eyes.
It is precisely because the catch of the first trip is so dazzling that the old man Arai Toshinori has worked tirelessly to rush over from New York and bring his grandson, but it can be said that in the past few days, he has directly let go of the store in New York, and the purpose of running here is needless to say that it is to get enough benefits from the two trips of fish in Beihai.
And Benny of the Mustang came over, which was expected, and the entire batch of fish was nominally sold by the American Mustang Fishing Company. He can't say that he can't come to the market, and how to get so many fish to the market Arai Trading Company has to negotiate how much of it's going to be shared, and the right of first refusal doesn't mean that the fish will be sold to you first. Arai Toshinori came, and as the largest shareholder of the Mustangs, Benny was a must-have.
Bei Hai leaned the ship firmly to the dock, and the sailors on the pier immediately picked up the cable thrown by the sailors on the deck to fix the ship.
"Hull. Forget about the Arai group and the Mustang group, how can there be people from Mellon Bank? Are you preparing for a loan? Diego asked, walking behind Bei Hai.
Bei Hai said: "I'm really ready to take out a loan."
"It's tens of millions of dollars for what you're going to do. Wouldn't it be enough to just sell the fish? Diego asked, when it came to money, Diego, who couldn't do arithmetic, was suddenly a lot better.
"How can you sell it all at once!" Bei Hai replied with a smile and said, "For us, this fish is nothing more than occupying an ice storehouse." Even if you rent it for two years, it won't cost much, so save it first and see the market! ”。
Bei Hai doesn't plan to sell all the more than 1,000 tons of big fish at once, although it is now close to the spring auction of Tsukiji Market. Bei Hai's current plan is to slowly release these fish, which is a hundred tons a month, you must know that these are all big fish in the traditional sense, don't look at the catch of tens of thousands of tons in the Pacific Ocean, but most of them are small fish thirty or fifty centimeters long, and the big fish are not even one-tenth. The annual production of large tuna in the entire oceans is only a few tens of thousands of tons, and it is less than 1,000 or 2,000 tons per month. Bei Hai has more than 1,000 tons in his hands, and he also caught it from the coastal waters of Japan, so it goes without saying the significance of this.
Although he is not a qualified businessman, it doesn't take much effort to hoard Juqi. The blind man also knows that the price of this big tuna in the North Pacific will go up.
Now Bei Hai wants to buy the island but is short of money and doesn't want to sell the fish at one time, so what should I do? It's easy to find a bank! This time, as soon as Bei Hai said his own countervailing products, the people of Mellon Bank immediately sent the general manager of the Japanese branch over without saying a word, of course, it was not Bei Hai who paid money to Mellon Bank, but the two controlling persons of Akiyama Fishery, Hepkaisen and Kgruger.
As soon as Bei Hai and the others got off the boat, Arai Toshinori's grandfather and grandson and Benny immediately greeted them.
"How's this catch?" Benny asked immediately.
"This trip was a little bit worse, a total of only a few hundred tons, including 400 tons of big fish. Two hundred tonnes of fish just passed, and then some yellowfin tuna with scraps, bigeye tuna or something," Bei Hai said.
Arai Toshinori said happily when he heard it: "I don't know what to say, did you catch all the big tuna in the North Pacific!" ”。
Arai was joking. Who knows that although this joke is not far away, it is estimated that there will be three melons and two dates left in this part of Japan anyway.
Benny smiled and said, "Then you guys talk about it first, and I'll call someone to unload the goods!" Without waiting for Bei Hai to speak, Benny staggered up the escalator on the side of the ship.
"Why are you in such a hurry. Fish don't run! Bei Hai looked at Benny's back and smiled, and then walked to the bank man standing next to him.
"Hello. It's Mr. Smith from Mellon! Bei Hai stretched out his hand before he could get in front of the people.
Where can Smith let his big customer go so far in front of him, it is too big Seeing Bei Hai looking at his side, he immediately raised his foot to greet him: "It's a pleasure to meet you." Am I Mellon's Thomas? Smith, it's okay if you call me Thomas, this is my assistant Ellie? Jefferson! ”。
"It's nice to meet you, call me Hull!" Bei Hai shook hands with the two of them one by one and said hello.
The dock is not a good place to talk about loans, this time Thomas also received news from the United States, came to take a look in advance, and then when the official loan was officially issued, it was natural to go through a series of evaluation operations or something.
A group of people stood on the dock chatting and watching the employees of Mustang Japan and the sailors on board unload their cargo.
Soon, some Japanese working on the docks stuck their heads out and began to look at this side, and the unloading area of the Kagami Maru slowly gathered some people.
Although it is often unloaded, but now such a scene is also rare to see, the big bluefin from abroad is generally taken by plane to Japan, for example, in the past, the shell sea fishing is taken by air, and the local products of Japan are rarely taken by sea, generally speaking, it is not a car or a small plane, even if there is a big ship returning from the sea, it will not be as endless as the big bluefin unloading in the water now, and the net pocket with small fish is a common phenomenon.
Seven or eight tuna were tied together and then hoisted directly onto the dock by a big crane. The Japanese on the dock whispered something while watching, although they didn't know what these people meant, but the shock on the faces of these little devils and the envy mixed with shock still made Bei Hai enjoy it.
A bunch of dirt buns! Now this is what a small fish of two or three hundred pounds looks like, and if a big fish comes up, you won't be able to see it! Bei Hai thought happily in his heart.
After the 200-ton Bei Hai was unloaded, the next thing was the 400-pound real bluefin, and four or five large tuna were hoisted onto the dock.
"Two hundred and fifty kilograms!"
"Two hundred and seventy-five kilograms!"
"Two hundred and forty kilograms!"
A series of numbers came out of the mouths of the employees of Mustang Japan one after another, of course, these employees spoke Japanese, Bei Hai couldn't hear it, but the onlookers on the dock could hear it clearly, and soon there was a buzz in the crowd, whether they knew each other or not, as long as they were standing nearby, they all began to chat.
The crowd around the crowd made these Mustang Japanese employees very complacent, and the weight of the shouting turned into a roar, Mustang is just a small company, although there has been great progress in fishing over the years, but what is this place? This is the Tsukiji Market in Tokyo, and all the bluefin tuna in the world cannot be said to be 100% or at least 80% passing through here.
Now it's different, a bundle of a few big fish hanged down from the boat, and it seems that everyone doesn't seem to be shocked and swears not to give up, not to mention that the boss said earlier that everyone has a red envelope after this business, just say that they enjoy the eyes of these onlookers, and these staff members are lighter. Bei Hai's inability to understand Japanese doesn't mean that these Japanese staff can't understand it.
Soon, with batches of fish being hoisted. Not only the staff on the pier, but also the people on the pleasure boat anchored next to them stuck their heads out to look at the Kawai Maru unloading here, and many of them raised their cameras to shoot at the big fish that was being lifted.
"Four hundred and fifty kilograms!"
"Five hundred and four kilograms!"
The Mustang employees were almost hoarse, but such big fish one after another still made people a little excited, now where are the Japanese fishing boats that can bring back such a large tuna, such a fish is not seen in a year, and now such a weight of fish come out one after another, and now the report is the twelfth.
Now, not only on the ships near the docks, but also in the two nearby buildings, there are people with their heads sticking out their heads to look this way, and from time to time you can see the light of small flashing lights.
In two hours, two full hours, the Kagai Maru unloaded all the big fish from the ship, and the large cold storage trucks continued to transport the catch from the dock to the nearby cold storage. Fortunately, nearly nine cold storage trucks from the cold storage can continuously transport the fish to the storage one after another.
"Everyone's morale is high!" Arai Toshinori smiled and turned to Benny.
"Why don't you talk to the employees, anyway, you're also a shareholder of Mustang now!" Benny directly blocked Arai Toshinori with this sentence.
Arai Toshinori laughed twice when he heard it: "Then you don't need it!" ”。 Everyone can do the shareholders' meeting to check the accounts, there is no need to manage him, besides, the wild horse really counts, and the one next to him is nothing!
"I'll go to the place I arranged later, and everyone will have a good celebration," Arai Toshinori said when he saw Bei Hai open his mouth.
Bei Hai naturally agreed, and Bei Hai also knew that the celebration was on the one hand, how to divide the big cake this time, and Arai Rishi wanted to discuss it with him.
In addition to some of the Japanese onlookers who can only pass by, there are also sailors and Mustang employees who can make a small profit, and most of them are standing next to Bei Hai, and both Arai Trading Company and banks can get a covetous return from these catches (to be continued......
