Chapter 465: Smooth
The fishing season has gradually become a job for Bei Hai, just like people who eat delicacies all day long, there is always a dull day, the whole tuna season plus the crab fishing season and the Pacific fishing season that leads the fleet to sea, Bei Hai is doing his job in a down-to-earth manner, and the harvest is as dazzling as ever, in the eyes of others, the sea to Bei Hai's return is far more than others.
The only difference is that when Bei Hai led the boat to sail in the Pacific Ocean to 'hunt' tuna, the new crew members who went to sea with him began to cheer happily at the ships passing by in the harbor before they entered the port, and the sailors on these ships thought that the ships here were loaded with a group of spirits.
At present, only about one-third of these new crew members are Chinese, and the rest are crew members from several Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia and Thailand, and only the technical management personnel such as the chief officer of the three ships in the fleet are Akiyama staff. There were only nine of the original old employees left in the last turmoil. With so many new crew members going to sea for the first time, after budgeting their own salaries, everyone was happy to the ears. Even if Tomoshi Itamoto lowered the salaries of the sailors, the salaries they received for these people were unimaginable before.
Under Diego's command, the ship approached the dock, and three purse seine boats lined up at the pier berth in Tsukiji Market, next to which the ice storage trucks were ready.
"President!".
As soon as the boat approached the dock, Bei Hai was the first to get off the boat, and when he saw Bei Hai getting off the boat along the escalator, Itamoto Yushi immediately greeted him.
"Where's Mr. Arai?" Bei Hai asked with a smile on the board. Arai Toshinori is no longer in the United States now, but he has returned to Japan when he is older, and the old man has become more and more in health as he gets older in recent years. However, the poor health is also relative to his previous years, after all, his age is in the clothes. The old man had reached the point where he had to rely on crutches. Even so, when the old man heard that Bei Hai had returned to the port, he personally came to the dock to greet Bei Hai again.
Bei Hai thought that the old man Arai was too polite, and repeatedly persuaded the old man to come.
Of course, in addition to Arai Toshinori, there are also several owners of major sushi companies, and everyone wants to get in touch with Bei Haiduo to see if they can increase the proportion of their own share.
It's not good for people to come to the dock to greet Bei Hai, and they leave without giving face, although Bei Hai doesn't like to socialize with these people very much, he still has a smile on his face and chats with everyone.
A group of old men were sandwiched between Bei Hai, and a young man watched as the tuna were carried out of the cabin one by one, chatting together.
Arai Toshinori followed the tuna until he saw them in the box, and then he withdrew his gaze.
"Listen to the board and say that this year's harvest is very good, almost ten percent more than last year," Arai Toshinori said, looking at Bei Hai.
Bei Hai nodded when he heard this: "This year is a little newer, and the catch there is a little more abundant" Speaking of this, Bei Hai stretched out his hand and patted it on the shoulder of Arai Rinze: "The quality of this year has also exceeded last year, and the number of fatty fish is almost half."
Arai wanted to open his mouth when he heard this.
Bei Hai immediately said: "If you want to increase the share, then don't say it" said and quickly nodded to the group of old men around him: "These people all want to increase the share."
This year, Bei Hai added a little burden to himself, not for anything else, but to let those who left the company see the full cabin and bag without the money you buddies still earned.
"The company just experienced that a few months ago, and everyone was a little worried about this year's catch," said Arai Toshinori, "and now that I see such a catch, I believe that many people can put their hearts back in their stomachs." Everyone can get a good night's sleep tonight! ”。
Bei Hai shook his head when he heard this: "I told you all on the phone, you people are all masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, and you have to see these fish!" When did I say I can't lie? ”。
Arai said, "It's not a question of whether you lie or not, but your catch is the lifeblood of several businesses."
"How can it be so exaggerated," Bei Hai modestly said.
At present, although Akiyama, Japan's high-end tuna product, is not a complete monopoly, but it accounts for almost 30% of the share, plus the share of Mustang Fishery, the two companies together have a share, although it is not more than 45, but it is already quite a fork. As for the remaining shares, they are in the hands of some small companies, which are of various nationalities, and the harvest is not too stable. Therefore, the number one tuna industry in Japan is Akiyama. The second place is the influence of the two companies that Mustang can think about now.
"Something happened over there?" Arai Toshinori sighed at Bei Hai and said.
When Bei Hai heard this, he opened his mouth and asked, "What is it?" ”。
"Smuggling has been investigated," Arai Toshinori only said to Bei Hai.
However, only this sentence Bei Hai also understands, with the strict ban on tuna, the price will naturally rise, and the price will involve smuggling, and these secretly caught tuna of different sizes will be smuggled to the market to sell it as a tuna smuggling business. It is said that there are quite a few people in this industry.
"He's really unlucky," Bei Hai said casually, he hated smuggling Bei Hai very much, because without these smuggled fish, at least they could go up a little.
"I said you don't sell it month by month, aren't you afraid of annoyance. Just shoot the fish out directly, not only will you save the money of renting a warehouse, but also save you some workers' wages! The funds will be returned quickly," Arai Toshinori said half-jokingly after finishing the smuggling.
Bei Haile replied lightly: "Then I'm not a loss?" For example, itachi works for two months a year. But I will pay them twelve months' wages. No way! Or let them have something to do every month."
Arai Toshinori listened to Bei Hai's explanation and smiled and didn't speak, but said, "Tonight, we invite you to have fun together!" ”。
Bei Hai understood as soon as he heard it. It is said that everyone is happy together, and it is estimated that the main thing is that each family will start to fight in front of themselves because of the distribution of the fish.
"Forget it! You people are arguing all the time, and it's not good for me to be caught in the middle! Bei Hai couldn't help but wave his hand when he heard Arai say this. I don't want to get involved in the affairs of sushi companies.
"This time it's not between us, it's a new company intervening in the high-end sushi world, and the few of us mean that everyone will unite and let him retreat," Arai Toshinori explained to Bei Hai.
As soon as I heard this, Bei Hai understood that there was a new company in Japan that wanted to join the high-end sushi industry. People in all walks of life don't like newcomers, and these noisy sushi companies are ready to band together to get rid of the new company. Everyone thinks that this business should be hard enough. There are still people who want to come in and not shoot to death, so it's okay!
Listening to Arai Toshinori's words, Bei Hai didn't mind and asked, "What is there to discuss?" He doesn't have an upfront quota, so how can he compete with you? ”。
"Guan Jian is a big investment in this new company," Arai Toshinori explained to Bei Hai, meaning that it was a big guy who came in.
Bei Hai felt bored after listening to it for a while, and pushed the matter to Itamoto Tomoshi. Bei Hai felt that he should do this job, or he would spend so much money to hire him for something.
Arai Toshinori knew that Bei Hai didn't care about this, and after saying a few words, he asked, "When are you leaving Tokyo?" ”。
"The night after tomorrow, fly straight back to Fulanga," Bei Hai said.
"So fast!"
"I haven't seen my family for almost a month and a half, and honestly, if it weren't for the few of you coming to the dock in a while, I would have been rushing to the airport with my bag," Bei Hai said.
Arai Toshinori smiled and said, "Today's time for you to make money is over!" I can rest the rest of the time."
Bei Hai waved his hand and said: "Have a good rest, the airport will be completed soon, and the new resort will be opened, although I don't have to work hard, but the appearance is to be revealed."
Within a few months, the original runway on Fulanga Island was demolished, and the latest one, a slightly simpler runway, with a two-story terminal, was erected on the sub-island of On'e Alevu. Although huge planes will not be able to stop until two or three months later, there is no problem with a small luxury plane like the Gulfstream. And the first phase of the resort on Ong Alevu Island has been completed, and it will be open to tourists in a month's time, so it can be said that Bei Hai still has some things to do in the next month or two.
"Next time, if there is such an investment project that needs funds, tell me," Arai said: "Yes, we are interested in participating in everything you invest!" ”。
"Otherwise, Tianyuan Guan will count your share," Bei Hai said jokingly.
Arai Toshinori smiled and asked: "That kind of situation is not suitable for investment, and it is quite accurate to call it throwing money!" In the end, everything is not your own, and you don't think many people have done it. Arai doesn't have so much spare money, and he only cares about normal investments. To be honest, I'm really not optimistic about your resort, although the conditions are good, but where will anyone go at such a high price, but now it turns out that I was wrong, not only membership but also queue! I don't know how to say it."
"Don't be envious, this resort really doesn't make any money. At least not as much as these three boats of fish," Bei Hai said, pointing to the hull of a boat leaning on the dock.
The resort has become famous since Leonardo and these people came, and the tide of fish that lasted for two months before dissipating, and more importantly, a group of scientists raised by Zibei Hai made up a mess of things from the sand on the beach to the sea water plus the fish in the water and the skin, and so suddenly became popular, and now almost every small courtyard will have guests at least twenty days a month. For such a high-priced resort, this is equivalent to a surplus of customers.
Bei Hai and Arai Toshinori talked about the resort without saying a word, and then watched the big fish hang off the boat. When all the fish were hoisted out of the cabin, Bei Hai and Arai left the dock with the bigwigs of the life insurance business.
Then it's time for fun from four o'clock. Of course, because Beihai is not good at tuning, this kind of entertainment is relatively 'vegetarian', eating, drinking, watching geisha performances and the like until nine o'clock. Only then was Bei Hai able to get out and return to the hotel that the company had set for him.
At noon the next day, after having dinner with all the employees of the Akiyama company, in the afternoon Bei Hai took a flight back to Fulanga and returned to his home.
Anyway, so far everyone has had a lot of fun. The harvest was good throughout the fishing season, and the fishermen who followed Beihai were very satisfied with this year's income, and the sushi restaurants that they have been dealing with are also very satisfied, because this year's catch is a little more and the quality is a little better. Akiyama's old sailors were also happy because they were promoted and raised. The new sailors were even happier, because for the first time many found themselves getting so much money at once.
Bei Hai is also very happy, because his two little things can already move two little legs faster, and the two-year-old baby can already run all over the yard. (To be continued......)
