Chapter 215: It's Full!
"Benny, we'll be back in Gloucester tomorrow, you take the people and the car to the dock and wait for us," Behai called Benny when he was still a day away from the port.
Benny is naturally very happy to hear it, for Benny Beihai did not go to Newfoundland to unload the goods, which can be regarded as saving a freight for the Mustang company, of course, it can't be said that this thing is cost-effective or not, the freight is saved, but time is also wasted, for Benny, every extra fish in the Beihai cabin means that he has more income.
But now Benny has good news for SΓΉ Beihai: "Hull, you're back just in time, and now the price of the entire swordfish has risen by a dollar overnight!" Fishery market analysts believe that tomorrow, that is, when you return to Hong Kong, the price will rise! By the way, by the way, how much catch did you bring me back? βγ
"How much do you want?" Bei Hai was in a good mood now, and asked Benny on the phone quipped.
As soon as Benny heard it, he knew that Hull's trip was lucky, and with confidence, Benny naturally put his mind at ease: "Of course, the more the better!" βγ
"The asterisk is full! The Arrow had about 83,000 pounds of catch," Bei Hai said.
"What?" Benny didn't believe his ears when he heard this, so he couldn't help but open his mouth and ask againβ. After hearing Bei Hai's side repeat again, he sighed and said, "Oh! Christ! βγ
Benny didn't expect Bei Hai to come back with a full cabin in just half a month, Benny knew that Bei Hai could make money, but for a new captain who had just gone to Granbank, such a result was too domineering. Not to mention others, even the legendary George has been working in Glenbank for several years to become a legend.
According to Benny's best estimate, it will take at least a month for the asterisk to be full. In other words, the asterisk has to stay at sea for a month and has to be lucky to fill the freezer, and now it will be back with a full cabin in more than half a month?
"To hell with Compass!" After a sigh. Benny was happy. Directly at his old rival, he spit out a sentence and asked excitedly: "When will you arrive in Hong Kong?" βγ
"At four o'clock in the afternoon, there is one more thing to trouble you. The asterisk needs to be replenished! Bei Hai said: "In addition, I will get a check for this catch before the next time I go to sea!" βγ
Benny listened and said, "There's no problem with the check, you're short of money?" βγ
"No, I thought about calculating the income of each crew member, and waiting for it to be handed over to the crew before the next anchor was lifted, which can be regarded as an incentive," Bei Hai said.
"No problem!" Benny's request for this big customer is naturally to try his best to meet, and it is indeed a little more important to do this thing in a day, but it is not a big deal for Benny, it is just to keep the accountant a little busier.
After agreeing to the check, Benny thought of the asterisk's recruitment, and couldn't help but be happy when he thought of the asterisk's catch: "Hull, you're not going to give other captains a way to live!" βγ
"Haha. I didn't seduce their crew, I just said that I was going to recruit people, and besides, the news was also released by you, and it didn't have much to do with me, I was originally going to recruit sailors in Gloucester, who knew that you spread the news too far," Bei Haile said.
Benny understood what Bei Hai meant as soon as he heard it, and this time Bei Hai was going to recruit some good sailors to recruit some good sailors, not limited to Gloucester and released to New England.
Of course, a catch like this in the sea will definitely make these sailors crazy, not to mention the other full tank of the Asterisk, according to the current market situation, each sailor on the deck this time will probably get more than 30,000 dollars. At this rate, there will be at least three more trips to the end of the fishing season. That's $120,000 for the whole season! To be honest, if Benny were a fisherman, he wouldn't have been able to resist the temptation of $120,000 a year.
"Okay, I'll let you out this news!" Benny knew that Bei Hai was going to use his own sales channel to spread the news, and Benny was happy to do so because it was also a publicity for the Bronco Company, after all, the Broncos now represent all of Bei Hai's catch.
"Are you the one who picked the crew?"
Bei Hai immediately said: "Joey picks it himself!" βγ
This matter is not something that Bei Hai is willing to take over. And in terms of picking people, Joey obviously knows more about this line, and besides, whether the manpower is good or not is not Bei Hai reused, but Joey reuse, if he picks and is not satisfied, for example, what if he picks a slippery head? In this matter, Bei Hai thought about not exerting his captain's authority. Decentralizing power, Bei Hai only needs one person to recruit to fill the asterisk's cabin within the specified time. As for the rest, except for looking for fish, Bei Hai no longer cares.
After asking Bei Hai a few more questions, the two ended the call.
Benny put down the phone and walked out of his glass office. Then he said loudly to a dozen or so employees in the office area: "Tomorrow the arrow and the asterisk will return to Hong Kong!" The asterisk was fully loaded, and the catch of the arrow was about 80,000 pounds! Everyone took care of the matter at hand quickly, and waited for Hull to return to port with his ship! When we got to the dock, it was our own job to unload the boat, and we all cheered up."
After speaking, he said to his employees: "I like Captain Hull!" βγ
"Hahaha!" The employees at the bottom listened to the boss's words and were happy, because the more fish they received during the fishing season, the higher their salaries. More than half of the people in the Mustang company rely on the fishing season to eat, can you not be happy!
A catch of more than 200,000 pounds at a time sounds quite exciting, but it is a little more than 100 tons, of course, this catch cannot be compared with that of a trawler, which may have several tons when the net goes down, but the cable extension is dragged up one by one. And the price of the fish is also very different. One in cents and one in dollars!
Benny and the staff said that they were thinking that these people would spread the word to the whole of Gloucester, and as for the rest, Benny would have to call himself later, and at least 100,000 pounds of the 200,000 pounds would have to go out through GuΓ²'s own channels, not only to Japan but also to North America, and the swordfish steak could be a favorite food for Americans.
It didn't take half an hour for the news of the asterisk returning to the cabin to spread all over Gloucester, and some of them were happy, of course, some were dumbfounded, and some sighed in a daze.
Arai Toshinori put down the phone, gently patted his knee twice, and then closed his eyes and thought about things, but the slightly upturned corners of his mouth still exposed the old man's good mood, such an expression may not be seen by others, but Arai Koichi, who followed his grandfather, did know very well.
"There's a catch on the Mustang?" Koichi Arai asked.
Now that the Arai sushi flagship store in New York has been renovated, it will open as soon as the catch arrives, and now the owner of the partner, Mustang, has called, and there must be a very high-quality fish landing, except for this thing, Arai Koi can't think of anything that can make his grandfather happy.
Arai Toshinori looked at his grandson and said, "Bei Hai will return to Hong Kong tomorrow, and he has more than 80,000 pounds of tuna in his cabin, some of which are of very high quality granda."
"Eighty thousand pounds?" Koichi Arai was stunned for a moment and said, "It's only been a little more than half a month since the fishing season started, right?" βγ The figure of 80,000 pounds surprised Arai Koichi a little, considering that the United States restricts the use of trawlers to catch bluefin tuna, and the number of 80,000 pounds is indeed very staggering.
"Tomorrow we're going to pick fish!" Arai said.
Catches like this in Beihai prove that Arai Toshinori has a vision and a good courage.
Arai is proud here, but many captains can't help but scold their mothers for the asterisk recruitment. Especially for the crew who make the captain happy, now is the beginning of the fishing season, and it is the time when these skilled hands are needed to contribute to the bosses. Suddenly jumped out of such a robbery, then it has to be! How low can the full load be even if it is the lowest? Even if it were to be converted to the minimum sharing standard agreed by the association, it would be more than 20,000 US dollars!
"Don't turn against Hong Kong tomorrow! Or unload the catch and go straight back to the fishing grounds," one of the shipowners immediately called his captains by satellite phone.
When the captain heard this, he wondered, didn't he say that the price of tuna had risen overnight? And you said that you returned to Hong Kong to sell goods, and I have walked half the way back to Hong Kong, and you suddenly said that you don't want to return to Hong Kong, you play with me, right?
"Asterisk is ready to recruit three more sailors! And this time I heard that it was full of loads," said the shipowner.
"Are you sure this news is true?" The captain's face was incredible. Fully loaded? In the captain's heart, if it is full now, it will be like a legend, to say that at the end of the fishing season, there is a full load of boats, and he can still envy and say good luck, but now that he heard that there are full ships returning to port, this captain does not know how to express his feelings.
However, the captain of the ship in his forties understood that he could not return to port regardless of whether the news was true or not, and if the sailors on board heard that there was a fully loaded ship returning to port and recruiting people, what if someone took the opportunity to return to port and thought carefully!
