Chapter 38 The sale of salmon
North of Junwang Island, North Li Port. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
A few medium-sized vessels docked at the docks, mostly small ones; Of these boats, except for one or two, which are cargo ships, the rest are fishing boats.
Groups of people are scattered in all corners of the port, all doing their own things; Occasionally, one or two people who have leisure will squat aside and smoke a few puffs to relieve their fatigue.
And what is a little different from the port that Jun Yan has seen before is that the people in the port of Beili are engaged in jobs related to fishing.
In the entire Beili port area, the most popular thing is a place near the wharf where a high platform stands; Not far from one side of this high platform is located one of the most valuable companies on King Island, the Qiu Fishing Company.
This high platform is the fish viewing platform summoned by Qiu's Fishery, and the employees of Qiu's Fishing are responsible for fish tasting and purchasing the fishermen's catch against the public purchase list, so there are many people around it every day.
Most of the people around them are fishermen who come to sell their fish, and a few are fishermen.
This area is known as a gathering place for fishermen, but not all fishermen, like Qiu Jingyuan, have enough capital to start a company.
Most fishermen are alone in the business of buying and reselling, and this kind of fisherman is called a small fisherman; On King Island, Qiu Jingyuan is the only one who is qualified to become a big fisherman.
In the past, small fishermen would also summon a fish-tasting platform and scatter them around the area like stalls. However, due to Qiu Jingyuan, who has abundant capital and extensive connections, he always has the highest purchase price, and within a month, the small fishermen have collected their "stalls".
Many small fishermen have changed careers, but mainly because there are not so many vacancies on the island, so some of them have stayed. As Jun Yan saw now, they no longer summoned the fish table, but stayed by the fish table summoned by the employees sent by Qiu's fishery.
Their aim is to wait for something to happen that they are not satisfied with the purchase price, and then close it at a slightly higher price.
Because of the cost of summoning the fish table, they have some ability to increase the purchase price. If the purchase price of a fish is not what the fisherman wants, the fisherman will usually consider selling it to a small fisherman.
Due to the establishment of the company, Qiu Jingyuan could not continue to buy fish at a high price, so this left a slight room for these small fishermen to survive.
......
It's a cloudy day, and the air is a little damp and stuffy.
As always, Qiu's employees and small fishermen have come to the fishermen's gathering place, and there are already some fishermen waiting here.
Among them was a middle-aged fisherman who was nearly half a hundred years old, not tall, thin, and dressed in very shabby clothes; He was holding a large salmon in his hand, and his expression was slightly excited.
His name was Makio, and he hadn't caught any fish in two days on his old fishing boat. He got up early today, and God finally opened his eyes, so that he unexpectedly caught this salmon with a body length of nearly 60 centimeters in his hand.
Salmon is a type of salmon, known for its delicious meat and rich nutrition, and has always been regarded as a valuable fish. Not only is the meat delicious, but the roe is even more precious. Its caviar is much larger than ordinary caviar, about 7 mm in diameter, red and transparent in color, like amber, and has high nutritional value, making it an excellent raw material for making caviar.
According to Mu Xiong's estimates, the salmon in his hands can be sold for more than 200 sea yuan. In this way, his life for this week and even the next week is financially secure.
So as soon as he caught this salmon, he was afraid that something would go wrong, so he couldn't wait to go back to the dock and ran here to wait for the shot.
He wasn't the first to arrive, though, and there were a few fishermen ahead of him. So after the employee summoned the fish table, he had to wait patiently in line.
The process of fish identification is very fast, and the fish can be put into the fish identification pond on the fish identification platform; The price list for each species is then made public, so it should have been possible to complete the price transaction quickly.
However, there are still some ways to talk about this price list, which leads to a price negotiation after the fish tasting is completed. For example, the fisherman, who is now in front of Makio, wants to sell a pike.
The value of this pike is much higher than that of Makio's salmon, and the total rating is 2124 after the identification of the fish pond, according to the price list - pike, the total rating is between 2100-2200 points, and the purchase price is 4600-5000 sea dollars.
In the fisherman's opinion, his white pike has a high potential score, and once it is fed a little, the overall rating can rise a little, so it must be sold for at least 4,800 sea dollars; However, the employees of Qiu's Fishery seized on the fact that the meat quality of this pike was ordinary, and refused to give a high price, and bought it for 4,700 sea dollars at most.
So at this time, two small fishermen on the side spoke, one was willing to pay 4,720 sea dollars, and the other increased to 4,725 sea dollars.
As a result, the employee of Qiu's Fishery was also a little stressed. Because the economic value of this fish is high, if the small fisherman robs it, it will be regarded as a dereliction of duty; So he had to raise the price, well... 4730 Sea Dollar ......
After tossing and turning like this, when it was Makio's turn, he had been waiting for about thirty minutes.
The salmon is handed to an employee of Khoo's Fisheries, who then puts the fish in the fish pond. Less than a second later, the salmon's rating was revealed, with an overall rating of 621 points.
If the salmon has an overall rating of 621 points, then the purchase price is between 175 and 255.
"You're a little lighter... It's sold for 180 sea dollars. The employee said to Makio.
Mu Xiong's expected price was 200 sea yuan, and he must not be happy that this employee only paid 180 sea yuan, "That... Little brother, look at the meat quality of my fish, but it's high! Why is there only 180? ”
The employee shook his head and said, "But the meat is too little, the weight is not enough, and it can't be sold at a good price, and it will be 180 at most." ”
Of course, Mu Xiong was unwilling to accept this situation, and hurriedly pleaded: "Little brother, look at my poor appearance, I haven't touched any money for two days... Be merciful, give more! ”
"It's not that I don't want to, I'm also working for my boss, I can't give more, it's 180 sea yuan." The employee didn't think much of it and responded coldly.
