Chapter 394: It's been a long time
Boxes of live shrimp were transported to the cargo plane and put in bundles, and then the frozen shrimp occupied another cargo plane, and it took more than three hours for all the sailors, including Bei Hai, to load all the goods onto the plane, and at this time the sky had begun to darken, and now it was less than five o'clock in the afternoon, but for Yuliana Hobbe, it had already entered the evening.
After unloading, the fleet did not rest, refill the tank again, and then sailed towards the fishing spot.
When the two freighters arrived at Gloucester, all the shrimp were basically unpacked except for the frozen live carriers, and Benny personally inspected them and ordered them to be transferred to Boston Cargo Airport immediately, and then the living Marbury Blue Dragons flew to the top five cities in the United States, so that they could put the Blue Dragons on the signature menu of their restaurants the next day.
Bei Hai's method of raising these blue dragons is very simple, it is space water, with space water, these lobsters can last at least half a month without eating or drinking, at this time, even if they are away from space water, they can live for four or five more days, and four or five days is enough for these restaurants to consume these stocks.
However, Benny didn't have as much confidence as Bei Hai, and began to pray as soon as the goods were shipped, and kept muttering that he hoped that these lobsters would not die, and that they would not lose any fat, or that they would lose all their money. Although he agreed with Bei Hai's method, Benny is not Bei Hai, and the old man has never seen the magic of space, and the reason why Bei Hai agreed with it as soon as he proposed it was completely inertia.
But when nearly 20,000 pounds of Marbury Blue Dragon are shipped out alive, where can you not worry? This loss is not $10,000 or 20,000, and at the current market price, this thing is worth at least $800,000 or more. Although most of the loss is Beihai's money, there must be Benny's cost input and profits.
This concern is not only about money, but also about business credit. The nearly 20,000-pound living blue dragon was also influenced by Bei Hai. Originally, Benny thought that he would transport one or two hundred to test the water, but the lion on Bei Hai's side opened his mouth and immediately wanted to transport his own boatload alive. At that time, Benny was frightened, so that he could only say a small half. Money can be made up for money, but once commercial credit is lost, it is not just money that can be made up.
Benny slept on the bed, tossing and turning, like a pancake, and couldn't sleep at all.
"What's wrong?" The wife was woken up by her husband and asked with sleepy eyes.
"I'm always a little unsure in my heart today!" Speaking of which, Benny put on his clothes together and then prepared to get out of bed: "You go to sleep first, it seems that it is very difficult for me to fall asleep today without waiting for news."
"You guy, Hull said there was no problem, why are you still so worried!" The wife said to Benny after a vow, "Be careful not to go outside the house, even if you go, wear some clothes."
"Of course I believe Hull, but that doesn't mean I'm not worried," Benny got out of bed and helped his wife tuck the quilt, and after saying that, he raised his feet and walked out of the bedroom.
Downstairs, Benny sat on the couch in the living room, lit a cigarette by himself, and smoked slowly without turning on the light, waiting for the news to come.
"Dad! What are you doing sitting here when you don't go to bed so late? It scared me," Lily had just come back from downstairs when Benny was startled, and reached out to cover her heart for a while before she said.
Benny turned his head and saw his daughter holding a drink in her hand, and judging by her dress, he knew that the girl hadn't slept at all.
"You still ask me, I ask you, why don't you sleep now? How many times have I told you, don't stay up late to surf the Internet like this," Benny immediately and spontaneously turned on the training mode.
Lily walked to Benny's side and stretched out her hand to wrap her father's neck and said coquettishly: "You should go to bed early, you can't sleep well and hurt your body."
Benny smiled at the corner of his mouth: "If only I could save a little worry about my body!" As he spoke, he reached out and patted his daughter's hand around his neck and said, "Go to work honestly, even if you don't like it, you have to learn to do ...... with your heart."
"Look, it's here again!" Lily shook it lightly and said, "Dad, how about I go skiing in Switzerland now?" I've heard it's awesome! ”。
"Asking for money again?!" As soon as Benny heard it, he understood his daughter's careful thoughts, this was obviously the rhythm of asking for money.
"How can you say yes, I'm an advance!" Lily immediately retorted to Benny's words: "It's a big deal to deduct my salary for the next few months." Just when I made an advance in advance."
Benny smiled and said, "Just a few months of deduction from your internship salary is enough for you to go to Switzerland, I think it is dangerous to deduct it for a year!" ”。
"That's a year, tomorrow you write me a check for $30,000, and I'll book a plane now!" Lily immediately put it in Benny's hand after saying that. Jumping upstairs to his room.
"Why do you want $30,000 to go to Switzerland?" Benny asked, looking at her daughter's back.
Lily didn't look back: "It's not that you said that the small hotel is not safe!" Then I'm going to have to choose a famous hotel or something, and besides, you don't want me to eat and get sick......." As she spoke, Lily's figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
"This kid!" Benny said a doting word, and his little daughter continued to wait for the call.
Benny felt that it had been a long time before he heard the bell ringing on the wall, and as soon as he heard it, Benny immediately picked up the phone at hand and dialed directly into Paris.
Call! Benny was relieved to hear from his company's Paris office. All the more than 100 Marbury blue dragons that were transported to Paris did not die except for one that was eaten, and the person in charge went to see a few alive yesterday. If you are in good spirits, you can pinch people with pliers.
By the way, there is even better news that several restaurants have directly asked for these goods and will continue to ask for these huge blue lobsters.
I chatted with my manager for a while. Benny put down the phone, thought about it for a while, and immediately dialed Bei Hai's side.
Now Bei Hai is commanding two ships to collect shrimp cages, and the sailors on deck are in good spirits. Judging from the cages that were collected, this time it was another bumper harvest, and the size of the shrimp still maintained the previous level. In other words, the whole group of shrimp is still in this place and has not been removed. It turns out that the captain of his own ship has reached a very high level, and now it is estimated that Bei Hai said that he would take them to Yellowstone Park to catch sharks, and the sailors might not have to take the guy with him.
Bei Hai was not looking at his sailor at this time. Instead, he used his binoculars to look at the deck of the Diego about 300 meters from his Big Crab Claw.
Diego's harvest is naturally not bad, the shrimp harvested are the same as the big crab claws, Bei Hai is looking at Ava! Of course, it's not because of Ava's beauty, but because this strong woman really makes Bei Hai's jaw drop when she works, and the four lobsters are packed together for about one hundred and twenty pounds, nearly one hundred and ten pounds of things, this female strong man doesn't need anyone to help her at all, and she directly shouted with her two thick arms, and put on her shoulder clothes and walked like flying.
Ava's performance made Bei Hai think of the photos he had seen of Russian aunts carrying a tree trunk a few tens of centimeters smaller home from time to time, and the feeling was suddenly shocking.
"It's so rebellious!" Bei Hai turned the binoculars and said in admiration as he watched Ava alone with a shrimp pot piled up on the deck with one hand. The skeleton of the shrimp pot of two or three meters is made of steel, even if it is covered with steel nets on the outside, the weight is not light. Normally, sailors pile this thing in pairs, but now this strong woman directly has one in one hand, and then throws it on the cage pile as if playing.
Matt then pushed the door open and walked in: "Captain! ”。
"What's the matter!" Bei Hai opened his mouth and asked.
"Will we let it go after we close the cage?" As soon as Matt looked in the direction of Beihaiwang, he knew that the captain was watching Ava work again.
Bei Hai nodded and said, "Let it go!" It is estimated that there are quite a few here, so why not put it! ”。
Matt just wanted to turn around after hearing this, and sure enough, he heard Bei Hai say: "Ava's work is too good, one person tops two, you go back and tell these boys, if anyone doesn't work hard, I will use him to replace Ava!" ”。
Matt smiled and said, "Captain, it's true that you can work. But Ava can't stop eating for the two of them! ”。
"Even if it's three people who eat and do the work of two people, they can only share one person's money!" Bei Hai said with a smile: "It's all earned!" ”。
Just as they were about to continue, the two of them heard the phone in the cabin and thought.
As soon as Matt got closer, he reached out and picked it up, asked and said to Bei Hai: "Benny's phone is good news to tell us!" ”。
Bei Hai put down the binoculars and took the phone, and after talking for a while, he covered the earpiece: "The shrimp are all alive and well, Benny said that all the ones who can survive this time are alive." Don't die! ”。
Matt said softly, "I already knew! I didn't agree to let him be so lucky last time, and after a long time, the determination to gamble was gone."
Bei Hai smiled, and then talked to Benny through the earpiece. If they were to be lucky, then the plane's installation would have to be readjusted, and Diego's ship would return to port once more than the Great Crab Claw. There must be a single cargo plane coming over from Nari. However, in the face of profits, all problems are considered problems, and Benny's side is now directly slapped with one word: fly! What a little gas money is!
There is a way to sell live shrimp, and it is also showing a growth trend. The shrimp produced by the fleet of two small boats in the Bay Sea did not show up at the Mustang hangar in Gloucester, and they were transferred directly to the cargo airport in Boston as soon as the plane got off here.
In this way, the fishermen of Gloucester knew that the harvest was good on the side of the sea, and it was not clear how many pounds, and even less so how much money they made.
The whole season went by in such a hectic way, and it was a good year for most of the fishermen in Gloucester, and although the wharf price of a pound of twenty pounds of king crab had dropped to ten dollars by the end of the season, many still made a good profit. For a while, the whole Gloucester changed from a little gloomy before Christmas, and the whole wharf was noisy, and the boats carrying more or less crabs and shrimp returned to the port, and most of the captains had smiles on their faces, which showed that these people were quite satisfied with the harvest of this crab season.
In this joyful atmosphere, the Crab Claw and Diego returned to port, with their cabins empty. (To be continued......)
