434. Sell fish and sell lobsters

Company R was the largest and had the most fair price, but they did not dominate the port of Sherdick, because the company had a rule that they could collect at least 1,000 pounds of lobsters.

This is to reduce the amount of labor of the staff and increase the work efficiency, because in order to sell the lobsters at a good price, several fishermen will cooperate to collect the lobsters first, and then divide the money afterwards.

However, in this way, it also gives other seafood companies a way to live, and most of the lobster fishermen who harvest the average still go to small seafood companies to sell, one is too lazy to tinker, and the other is that the price of different lobster meat is different and different, and it is easy to have contradictions when dividing the money.

Company R occupies the most conspicuous position in the fishing port, the fish warehouse is next to the wharf, and some large freezer trucks for seafood transportation are parked next to it, which looks very domineering.

Seeing Company R, the bull laughed, Qin Shiou asked what was going on, he pointed to the roof and said: "CW is very sassy, they originally installed a huge sign on the roof of the building, which is a large LED display. Look, now that this thing is gone, it will definitely be destroyed by the storm! ”

The storm is now named Kraken 18 by the Canadian government, and the Kraken is the name of the Nordic sea monster, so named to demonstrate the storm's destructive power.

When Qin Shiou called Winnie, he learned that the disaster had sunk more than 10 ships and killed 20 people, and now reports of Storm Kraken 18 have swept North America. The Government of Canada is particularly concerned about this disaster.

While discussing, the Harvest approached the dock, and the smoking gun skillfully shouted to a bald middle-aged man squatting on the dock: "Vulture Gates!" Look at me here. Thank me, I'm here to send you Canadian dollars! ”

The bald middle-aged man laughed when he saw the cigarette gun, took out a cigarette and threw it to him, and said, "It's you, it's great that you weren't dragged into the sea by the Kraken!" Come on, how many lobsters did you bring with you? Is there any two hundred pounds? ”

Qin Shiou had always thought that only Chinese liked to smoke to pull feelings, but he found it in Canada. Canadians like it the same, acquaintances will get together to smoke a cigarette and catch up when they meet. Similar to the Chinese people.

The cigarette gun took a puff and said, "Two hundred pounds? Are you laughing at me? Can I not know the rules of CW? You can't get to the dock for less than a thousand pounds, can you? ”

Bald Gates sighed and said, "That was the rule before, and now everyone is crazy about catching lobsters." Since the beginning of January, very few people have been able to replenish a thousand pounds at a time, so we have started to collect lobsters piecemeal. ”

The two chatted, the smoking gun went to the dock, and the bull led people to open the lid of the ice cabin, which was full of lobsters tied with rubber bands.

Seeing these lobsters, the bald Gates immediately threw away the cigarette in his hand, and he said in shock: "God, did you sneak attack the lobster's nest?" How many lobsters is this? I bet. I've never seen anyone catch so many lobsters at one time this year! ”

"Not a lot, actually. I don't know the specifics, but I think it should be six thousand pounds! Come on, you send someone down to see the quality of our lobsters. Then let's deliver the goods with one hand and pay the money with the other! The cigarette gun pretended to be reserved, but said proudly.

Gates personally got off the boat to test the meat quality, the meat quality of lobster is not as strict as that of bluefin tuna, it is mainly divided into two categories: hard shell and soft shell, the harder the shell, the tighter the meat, the better the taste, the higher the price.

In addition, lobsters are divided into male and female. The meat of male lobsters is more textured, while female lobsters will have shrimp yellow. The prices are also not the same. Before the female lobster spawns, the price is more expensive than the male lobster, and after the spawning is lower.

Gates simply spot-checked the lobsters, banged on their claws and backs, and exclaimed, "You guys are so lucky!" Aside from guessing you've entered the lobster nest, I don't know where you're going to find such a great lobster! Quality! Male lobster is 35 yuan a pound, female lobster is 30 yuan a pound! ”

This price is already very high, when Qin Shiou was preparing to raise lobsters before, he checked the price changes in recent years, and when the lobsters caught by ordinary fishermen are sold to aquatic companies, it is only ten to fifteen yuan per pound.

However, Qin Shiou still sighed: "The price of lobsters in the market has reached 100 yuan a pound, why is the harbor still so cheap?" ”

Gates laughed: "Man, obviously you don't understand the lobster market......"

"Bald, watch your words, this is our captain! Great Captain! The bull said unhappily, this rough man is really convinced by Qin Shiou now, and no one is allowed to underestimate him.

Gates is a standard businessman, he was not angry, but laughed, and then explained to Qin Shiou: "When we buy lobsters, we don't put them directly into the market, but also put them in the lobster warehouse, which will cost us a lot of manpower and financial resources......"

R has a lobster depot called Drland-Pound in Nova Scotia's Arichat Harbour, which is known as a "five-star lobster hotel" and is said to be able to store more than a million lobsters.

The lobster vault is divided into 34 floors and has a circulation of cold seawater, which is kept between 34 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit so that the lobsters can maintain their hardness and supply the world with unlimited amounts of lobsters throughout the year.

Introducing his own business model, Gates said: "Even if it is directly put into the market, then we need to use a freezer truck or plane to deliver it, which is not cheap......"

He was talking here, and at this time, Nimitz came to the door from the air following the trajectory of the Harvest from the air, and when he saw Qin Shiou, he directly pierced his head, gathered his wings and squatted on Qin Shiou's shoulder.

Seeing the big warship bird, Gates was stunned for a moment, he looked at Qin Shiou again, climbed to the side of the boat and carefully looked at the name of the ship written in white paint on the fishing boat, and asked tentatively: "Harvest?" Are you the Harvest? ”

Qin Shiou shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes, this is the Harvest ......"

"God! You're here for Sherdick? Oh, God! Do you know it, you're a Canadian hero now! The news says you braved Typhoon Kraken 18 to save 84 survivors? Isn't it? Isn't it? Gates grabbed Qin Shiou's arm and asked.

Qin Shiou spread out his hand and said, "Perhaps, we did save the people on the Nass Guest, if I deny it, it would be too hypocritical." However, I don't think that's the most important thing at the moment, what matters now is the sale of our lobsters and marine fish. ”

The sale process is very simple, the lobster is directly boxed and weighed after the price is set, a total of 6,800 pounds, 4,000 pounds of male lobster, and 2,800 pounds of female lobster, a total of 224,000 Canadian dollars.

Gates was just about to congratulate them and settle the settlement, when the bull and a few fishermen opened the entrance to another ice cabin, revealing boxes of fish that had already been loaded.

Although he saw a lot of big scenes, Gates was still shocked by the harvest of Qin Shiou and others! (To be continued)
