The next day.

Chen Yuan and the others got up early in the morning and heard the good news from Lin Xinhai.

Lin Xinhai, Lao Gao, Lao Qian, they have caught a fish. The radio public channel is particularly lively......

"I've got the seventeenth tuna here." The voice of the old money.

"I've got twenty-five here." Old high.

"Hey, hey, you're still a little worse than me." Lin Xinhai.

"Just sneer." Xu San.

"No, there's a place, I'll go over and put a rope." Liu Si.

"Don't come, don't come...... There is no place for it. "Old money.

Chen Yuan listened to Lin Xinhai's voice of joy or envy, and the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing a smile.

After eating, Chen Yuan and the others continued to look for fish, and did not find any good punctuation.

……

Time flies.

At the end of the short fishing season in Tuguo, Chen Yuan and his team drove a fishing boat to Funafuti Atoll.

Xu San's fishing boat stopped next to the little nanny, dumping the catch.

Zhou Sheng drove the boat over and stopped next to Liu Si's fishing boat: "Old Liu." Chen Yuan saw Liu Si standing on the deck, waved his hand, and shouted.

"Hey." Liu Si replied with a smile.

"Are you done with your fish?" Chen Yuan asked.

"It's done."

"How many?"

"990,000." Liu Si spread his hands.

"It's okay." Zhou Jianguo said with a smile.

"Okay, I haven't made any money back on the gas." Liu Si said and lost a pack of opened cigarettes: "After that, there is a good punctuation, give priority to taking care of us." ”

"No problem." Chen Yuan took the cigarette and handed one to Zhou Jianguo, he lit one himself, and threw the rest back to Liu Si.

In 12 days, the catch of 990,000 yuan, counting the fuel consumption from returning to China, also earned back the fuel cost.

Another reason why tuna is expensive now is the rise in oil prices.

The price of marine diesel, including subsidies, is about 6,100 yuan per ton.

Their fishing boats here are all high-power, and the maximum power of the main engine is 1900kw. When you are in a hurry, you usually have to drive to about 1400kw. There are also generator sets on board......

Their fleet departed late, and when they came, they ran fast and had high fuel costs. From China, the fuel consumption of a ship is about 7 tons per day.

However, during the operation of the fishing boat, the fuel consumption is much lower, because the power of the main engine does not need to be so large, and the daily fuel consumption is 3 tons to 3.5 tons.

From the beginning to the present, the fuel consumption of each ship is about 117 tons. After the subsidy, each ton of marine diesel is about 6,100 yuan...... That's more than 700,000. If you don't count the subsidy, it's more than 800,000.

There are more than 30 people on board these fishing boats every day.

It's also an approximate number.

The labor cost of a boat is about 17,500 a day. The fuel consumption is 3.3 tons a day, as well as lubricating oil, etc., a total of 21,000 yuan.

The cost of purchasing a job day is 15,000 yuan per day.

Other food, fish hooks, fishing lines, etc., are not counted...... A hard expenditure of one day, 53,000 yuan.

Counting other expenses, as long as there is no major situation, the total expenditure will definitely not exceed 60,000.

12 days, not counting the fuel consumption when coming, the total cost is 720,000 yuan.

Liu Si and they sold 990,000 fish and did not return the capital, but it cannot be said that they lost money.

Normally, a longline fishing boat of more than 40 meters can have a net profit of two or three million a year, which is good. Can exceed five million profits, very little......

Profits like Chen Yuan are very few. Just think about it, Chen Yuan and their catch is not normal, if they are all as high as Chen Yuan's catch, then the fish will not be valuable.

In 12 days, 990,000 fish were caught, and Liu Si was quite satisfied.

He also knew other longline captains, knew the profits of longline fishing boats under normal circumstances, and also had a scale in his heart. During this time, Chen Yuan and they were looking for fish, and all the good resources were given to Da Yu and Gao Laogao, and there was no dissatisfaction in his heart. After all, this is a normal thing. Everyone wants to make more money......

Chen Yuan and the others were about to go to the little nanny's when a black assault boat drove over.

"Hi, Old Qiu." Zhou Jianguo saw his old partner and shouted with a smile.

Qiu Zhilong smiled and waved his hand vigorously, drove the assault boat over, and threw a rope up.

Zhou Jianguo took the rope.

After waiting for the boat to be ready, Chen Yuan pulled Zhang Hang and Rupee: "Why are you here?" ”

"Come and see you." Zhang Hang said.

"How's your harvest?" Zhou Jianguo handed Lao Qiu a cigarette and asked.

"Overall, there is a profit. But the fuel consumption of our ship was too high, and most of the profits were fed to the engines. Qiu Zhilong spread his hands: "The fuel consumption of 3 tons per day is still diesel, and I can't bear it." ”

Ruby was a little embarrassed, took the cigarette handed by Zhou Jianguo, lit it, and said: "I saw a 20-meter longline fishing boat flying the Chinese flag in the Gilbert Islands before, and I heard Captain Qiu say that that the longline fishing boat has a freezing room and an ultra-low temperature fish tank, and the fuel consumption per day is less than 1.5 tons. ”

Chen Yuan nodded and said, "The level of fuel consumption mainly depends on the size of the freezing room and the ultra-low temperature fish tank. Like longline fishing of more than 27 meters, the freezing room and ultra-low temperature fish tank are more than ten cubic meters, and the fuel consumption during work is about 1 ton per day. The ultra-low temperature cabin is larger, and the fuel consumption is also higher. Then there is the temperature of the ultra-low temperature cabin, the lower the temperature, the higher the total fuel consumption...... But not too high. ”

Rupee their boat, the fuel consumption is too exaggerated.

"I want to change the fishing boat, I don't know how much it costs?" Ruby said.

Fuel consumption control more than 1.5 tons, one month...... Save dozens of tons. That year, saving a few hundred tons of diesel...... Diesel at sea, the price is high.

If you work more than 300 days a year, you can save 4 million. Calculate carefully, there's something.

"FRP, 27.6 meters, a freezing room of more than ten cubic meters, an ultra-low temperature fish tank in the early twenty cubic meters, and an ordinary freezing cabin. The power of the main engine is about 700kw, and it is equipped with two generators...... More than six million. If you add roller control equipment, long-line programmers, rope unwinding machines, etc., all of them will be taken down, more than 7 million. Chen Yuan said: "The equipment is not particularly good, but it is several grades higher than your current fishing boat." ”

Hearing this, Ruby glanced at Zhang Hang. Their current longline fishing boat was chosen online by Ruby and Zhang Hang......

"More than seven million, RMB?" Ruby said.

"Of course." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"So cheap?" Zhang Hang was a little incredulous. He felt that buying a new ship should be very expensive...... And it's ultra-low temperature.

"More than seven million, it's not cheap. After all, it is a FRP fishing boat, and if the equipment configuration is lower, it can be cheaper by hundreds of thousands. Chen Yuandao.

"The more than 7 million longline fishing boats are frozen...... Can you freeze a large tuna? That is, Dachao? Ruby asked.

"The equipment in the freezer is not expensive, mainly because of the high energy consumption." Qiu Zhilong said: "In a freezing room of more than ten cubic meters, the minimum temperature should be more than minus 70 degrees. ”

The rupee is depressed now. Their boat, with it, feels all kinds of uncomfortable.

Not to mention the small boat, the noise is very loud. Fuel consumption is also exaggerated......

The price of diesel is high, and the fuel consumption is close to 3 tons per day. If you calculate the price of oil, the fuel cost of the rupee ship is higher than that of a tuna purse seine ship of more than 40 meters.

"I really don't see the fuel consumption of your fishing boats, which is close to 3 tons per day? How do you use it, the fuel consumption of our fishing boats is only a little more than 3 tons per day. Chen Yuan said.

"Your big white fuel consumption, isn't it high?" Qiu Zhilong said: "One burns diesel, and the other is heavy oil ...... ships."
