Chapter 299: Selling Fish at Sea
"Then we'll want to go together." Li Xiaofeng said with a smile.
"Now we have a lot of ordinary fish on our two boats, and ordinary fresh harvesting boats may not be able to eat it!" Zhang Jianjun said with a smile next to him.
This is the truth, just the common catches of hairtail, octopus, skinned fish, cuttlefish and so on on Li Xiaofeng's "Deep Blue" add up to at least 150 tons, although the "Harvest" is a lot less than them, but according to Li Xiaofeng's estimate, there should be at least 50~60 tons, then these two ships together can have at least more than 200 tons of fish, which is millions of business!
With so many catches, it is a big business for any fresh harvesting ship.
After the four of them decided to sell these common catches, Li Yonglin sent out this information on the announcement channel on their behalf.
It can be said that as soon as this news was issued, it immediately caused a lot of sensation in the surrounding fresh collection boats, which was more than 200 tons of fish catches, and the fresh collection ships were not afraid of big business, but they were afraid of no business, so there were seven or eight owners of fresh collection ships who contacted them at the moment.
To be honest, the prices of these common seafood are actually relatively transparent, so the price gap between these fresh harvesting ships is not too big.
However, no matter how small the gap is, it is also a gap, even if it is a few cents a catty, there is a gap of hundreds of thousands of more than 200 tons of seafood. So in the end, after some communication and comparison, Li Yonglin, Li Yongmin and Zhang Jianjun chose a boss surnamed Zhang with a relatively high bid.
After the two sides negotiated, less than an hour passed, and Boss Zhang appeared near their fishing boat with four fresh harvesting boats.
After the communication was completed, one of the fresh harvesting ships approached the "Harvest", and Boss Zhang personally took a fresh harvesting ship and approached the "Deep Blue".
The boss, surnamed Zhang, was a middle-aged man in his forties with a dark face and a pair of eyes.
After the two boats were close together and fixed, he took a person with a smile on his face to the "Deep Blue" fishing boat.
And after Boss Zhang came to the fishing boat, he was also very atmospheric, and asked the people who came with him to take a few cigarettes out of their bags and give a pack to every crew member on the fishing boat.
Although these cigarettes may not be worth much, they are arguably the most popular hard currency at sea, and many crew members can skip meals but cannot stop smoking, so their behavior has aroused the favor of many crew members at once.
Boss Zhang himself went to Li Xiaofeng and said with a smile on his face: "A few boat bosses, can you arrange for someone to take me to see the fish you are about to sell?" ”
"Of course no problem!" Li Xiaofeng also replied politely, "Boss Zhang, let's go this way, I'll take you to the cabin to see those catches." ”
Later, Li Xiaofeng took Boss Zhang to see it one cabin after another.
After turning it around, the boss Zhang was very satisfied with the quality of the fish they were going to sell. And he also had his eye on the fish on Li Xiaofeng's boat that were not ready to be sold.
Because everyone knows that the prices of these common marine fish are very transparent, and his profits are not high, and the real money has to be these rare and valuable goods!
Then this boss Zhang began all kinds of flickering, sending materials, and all kinds of promises, no wonder some people say "the mouth of a businessman, a deceitful ghost".
But in the end, Li Xiaofeng was entangled by him, and considering that the position on the "Fengshou" fishing boat was indeed limited, he finally agreed to sell him ten tons of black tiger shrimp and ten tons of noon fish.
Of course, this is mainly because the price he offered is also more appropriate, he gave the price of 60 pounds for black tiger shrimp, and the noon fish even came out to 70 catties, and it is also because the quality of Li Xiaofeng's black tiger prawns and noon fish is really high.
Of course, if this were usual, Boss Zhang would not have offered such a high price, isn't it less than a month before the New Year. Now these black tiger shrimp, after he pulled them to the dock, there is no problem at all when they sell them for eighty or ninety-one catties, as for these noon fish, they are even more sought-after, and they are sold for one hundred and one catties, which is not enough for those traders to grab.
Now the price of all kinds of high-end seafood is soaring, it can be said that it is one price a day, and even if you have money, you may not be able to get the goods!
This time of year is arguably the best season for seafood sales every year.
In fact, Boss Zhang is not only interested in these black tiger shrimp and noon fish, he is also very interested in all kinds of reef fish and tuna on the fishing boat, but Li Xiaofeng did not agree to sell them to him no matter what, he can only retreat and ask for some black tiger prawns and noon fish.
Li Xiaofeng didn't sell these cherished fish to him, of course, not because he couldn't get along with money, but because there were still a bunch of bosses waiting to ask for goods at home, everyone wanted goods at this time of the year, and the relationship between these bosses must be maintained!
If you don't maintain the relationship when the stock is out of stock a year ago, then when the seafood is unsalable, others will not take care of your business.
After the matter was discussed, the next step was to transfer the fish to the harvesting boat for weighing, but fortunately, Li Xiaofeng had a crane on his fishing boat, so it was more convenient to transport the fish.
Not only were they unloading, but another harvesting ship that had landed next to the "Harvest" also began to unload at this time.
It was busy from the afternoon until more than 7 o'clock in the evening, and the fish cargo ready for sale on the fishing boat was unloaded, and finally the "Deep Blue" sold a total of more than 4.7 million worth of fish, and the "Harvest" also sold more than 1.2 million worth of fish.
After the fish was traded, Li Xiaofeng made a large purchase for the fishing boats. In the end, he purchased more than 100,000 yuan of vegetables, fruits, meat and some daily necessities on the fresh collection ship, which can be regarded as preparing materials for their long-distance voyage later. Boss Zhang sent them another batch of mineral water for free.
This is also the money he added a little bit of supplies, and then he needs to refuel, plus the salaries of the crew, the money is earned quickly and goes quickly.
After the transaction was completed, Boss Zhang scattered a circle of business cards with a smile on his face, saying that when he came to the South China Sea in the future, as long as he planned to sell the fish, he could contact him, and he would definitely give a high price.
After the fresh harvesting ship left, Han Minghua began to arrange for the crew to eat. Today's business is not over, and they still have to transfer all the remaining seafood on the fishing boat to the "Harvest" before it is over.
At that time, the two fishing boats will go their separate ways, Li Yonglin and the others will go home with the catch of the "Harvest", and Li Xiaofeng will continue to drive south with the "Deep Blue" that has been cleared.
