Chapter 518: Arriving at the Destination
In this way, the fleet sailed all the way, and it took more than a week to reach the Peruvian fishing grounds.
Lu Yao spent most of his time practicing in his room during the day when everyone was sleeping, and he would also secretly stealth and fly to find places with rich fishery resources in Peruvian fishing grounds, so that he could save a lot of fishing time.
The fleet does not need to be too dispersed, and it can catch a variety of abundant catches, which can virtually reduce a lot of fuel consumption.
After entering the Peruvian fishing grounds, Lu Yao instructed the processing mother ship to select a place with abundant fishery resources, docked the fishing boat, and prepared to start fishing operations.
After the mother ship is anchored, the other eight fishing boats come up and transfer all the catch caught in their cabins to the mother ship for processing.
The catch on each fishing boat is different, but it is almost two-thirds full, although more than 200 tons of fish caught in more than a week is not much, but to know that these are just the results of catching in the process of rushing, everyone seems very satisfied when they think about it.
The production lines on the processing mother ship began to start one by one, and the staff on the ship also ended their leisurely rush time and became very busy.
They sort all the catch from the fishing boats and put it into different production lines to process it into a variety of seafood, including canned fish, fishmeal, low-temperature quick-frozen fish pieces, caviar and so on.
Lu Yao walked around the production lines of the mother ship, and the staff on the production line were men and women, many of whom were husband and wife, so that they could work better on the fishing boat.
Of course, these people are all dormitories, and each room is arranged with bunk beds for a total of eight people. If you want to live as a couple, you can only rent a one-room house on the processing mothership, which is equipped with a separate toilet and toilet, and charges by the hour, twenty an hour, which is not very expensive, mainly as a welfare.
At the same time, some single men on the ship also provided them with a day off a month, so that they could relax for a day when they went to the Peruvian port to buy supplies with the transport ship or refueling ship, and Lu Yao didn't care what they did when they went ashore.
After the production line started, Lu Yao found that the movements of these crew members were a little slow at first, even if there were technicians to train them, it was not a matter of time and a half to improve efficiency.
Fortunately, Lu Yao is not in a hurry, just slow down, it just so happens that the fishing boat arrived in the Peruvian fishing grounds, and it is not so simple to catch a full cabin of fish, Lu Yao has enough time to train them to become a qualified worker.
However, a few days later, as the processing mother ship was in full swing, Lu Yao gradually discovered that the daily catch of his eight fishing boats was simply not enough to meet the needs of production.
But at this time, it is impossible for Lu Yao to shut down the two production lines, if this is the case, the production employees on the processing mother ship will have nothing to do, if there is no output, although the salary Lu Yao will be paid, but the bonus performance will be much less, so that those staff will also make trouble.
They have traveled thousands of miles to work in this foreign land, just to make more money? If they have no money to earn, they will have to endure this monotonous and boring life, and after a long time, there will definitely be chaos.
What's more, Lu Yao spent a lot of money to buy these fishing boats and processing mother ships, and if he didn't work hard to make money, when would he be able to earn back the capital?
So Lu Yao called Shen Xixue and asked her to arrange a few capable and foreign language purchasers from the fishing company to fly directly to the Peruvian coastal city to buy fresh seafood from the Peruvian fishing port wharf, and then hand it over to her own processing mother ship to process and make various finished products.
Fortunately, the seafood on the harbor dock on the Peruvian fishing ground is sold very cheaply, especially the purchaser of Lu Yao Fishery Company does not buy a catch with high economic value, but belongs to the kind of seafood that is very common and has average economic value.
In Peruvian fishing grounds, there are fishing boats from all over the world, and their fishing boats will naturally bring back to their home countries to sell their catches with high economic value, while some ordinary catches will choose to sell them at the nearest seaport and wharf, otherwise the long-distance ocean voyage back, the freight is very high, and it is not profitable at all.
The buyers of Lu Yao Fishery Company are buying such seafood at various ports, which is a win-win situation for both parties.
However, Lu Yao also understands that relying on such means is not a long-term solution after all, and in order to solve the problem of overproductivity, it is best to continue to expand the size of the fleet and increase the number of catches to meet the production needs of the processing mother ship.
Thinking of this, Lu Yao was big again, no matter what kind of fishing boat it was, it was a very expensive thing, and he couldn't use so much money to buy it this year for the time being.
For now, it is only a two-pronged approach for the time being, with one side fishing and the other side buying.
This is the fifteenth day of Lu Yao's arrival at the Peruvian fishing grounds, and today a procurement staff of a fishing company suddenly made a suggestion to Lu Yao, that is, he can choose to rent a fishing boat.
This is the situation that the purchaser observed for a few days, in the fishing port wharf, every day many fishing boats docked on the wharf did not choose to go to sea, he tried to contact the owners of those fishing boats, and learned that the news is that the harvest is not much to go to sea, and he will rest for a while.
Although Peruvian fishing grounds are one of the largest in the world and rich in fishery resources, it does not mean that anyone who goes to sea can make money.
In particular, many backward fishing boats rely entirely on the experience of their captains to find catches, and they do not install all kinds of advanced fish finders, so they have to try their luck every time they go to sea.
In addition, from time to time, his crew will change jobs because of unsatisfactory wages, which makes it difficult for the captain to get together the people who go to sea.
Lu Yao thought for a moment about the suggestion of his employees, and felt that this was a good solution, but it temporarily solved his urgent need.
As for the fishing boats that are too old and do not have advanced fish-finding equipment, what does it matter? Lu Yao does not need to rely on them to find fish, as long as the nets on their fishing boats are good, there is no problem for people to obey the command.
When the time comes, let each of them follow his own fishing boat and cast his nets together, and they will catch enough fish.
Of course, Lu Yao would not completely and completely believe them, otherwise they knew that they could easily find a school of fish, and they didn't want to do it with themselves, but grabbed fish on the side openly, which would be equivalent to luring wolves into the house.
In this regard, Lu Yao had to think of a safe plan to make the captains who were summoned by him obedient.
It just so happened that the movie on Zhou Wenjie's crew had been completed, and Lu Yao was going to summon Tai Chi over first and cooperate with him to play a good show for them.
