Chapter 302: The Hind Hand of Some Contestants
When Jiang Luoluo counted, tourists passing by the port surrounded him because of so many tuna, holding up their mobile phones to take pictures and send them to Moments.
When a nearly four-meter-tall black marlin was lifted out of the refrigerated compartment by a crane, everyone was in an uproar.
When did such a shocking big fish appear in China, and there was no group of people around to join in the fun?
For this real hegemon of the sea, how many people have seen it with their own eyes.
This huge black marlin, not to mention many tourists who see the sea for the first time, even the staff on site can't stop being stunned, because they have never seen it.
The few people who just came to the refrigerated cabin to see it were quite determined, mainly because they were already surprised.
In order to ensure its integrity, Chu Mingcheng deliberately sacrificed some space in the refrigerated cabin and retained its long beak.
After being frozen at low temperatures, it is as hard as a large specimen.
It's just that the frost on the surface slightly obscured its original domineering, and it looked a lot duller.
But even so, a huge black-skinned marlin stole the limelight from a bunch of albacore tuna and became the most beautiful cub on the scene.
And Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo were also pulled by Cai Xueting for an interview, and after the interview, the value of all the fish had been counted.
Because the black-skinned marlin is big enough, the organizers gave the market price for the gimmick, that is, 60 yuan a catty.
Of course, it is said that it is the market price, but in fact, such a large black marlin can be at a lot of premium.
The main reason is that the integrity of this fish is so good that some people are willing to pay a high price to buy it back to make a taxidermy collection.
As a contestant, Chu Mingcheng can only sell the fish to the organizer and has no other choice.
The organizers are not charitable, and after they give a reasonable price, it is impossible for the contestants to sell their catch to other fishing companies or private owners.
The weight of the marlin weighed this time was seven hundred and thirty-one catties, and the blood in the whole body was only six catties lighter, which was obviously impossible.
But Chu Mingcheng eliminated the blood water, but he used tap water to flush it, so the tap water replaced part of the blood water and was frozen, which was very reasonable if it was so light.
The price of this marlin is 43,860 yuan, which is close to the average person's annual salary.
In addition to the black-skinned tuna, there are forty-three albacore tuna.
After weighing, the weight of all the albacore tuna exceeded fifty catties, and the total weight was two thousand seven hundred and thirty-three catties, which was a few hundred catties more than Chu Mingcheng's estimate.
Unfortunately, the average price is not high, only 56 yuan, so the total price is only more than 153,000 points.
The total income of this return voyage was more than 196,900 yuan, almost 200,000 yuan.
The number on Chu Mingcheng's ranking is 157,000, which is still in second place, and the players behind have not yet returned, so the order in front has not changed for the time being.
After a short while, the number above the second place on the list changed to 354,000.
Although the ranking has not changed, the gap with the first place has narrowed a lot.
The change in the top of the ranking immediately attracted the attention of many players with fishing boats.
Basically, you can afford to buy a fishing boat, and the players with a good boat configuration are not short of money, so everyone will configure a small mobile base station for convenience.
In this way, there is a signal to go to sea, so that friends and family will not be unable to contact them, and these players will occasionally pay attention to the situation on the leaderboard.
No, the actual quota of the second place in the ranking suddenly increased by 200,000, and several players found out at the first time.
The players on one of the fishing boats had just finished their work and were gathering for dinner.
The captain casually swiped the leaderboard, and immediately uttered a mantra: ", the second place suddenly rose by 200,000!" β
Crew A: "It seems that he went to sea a night later than us, which means that today is only the third day, which is 200,000?" β
Crew B: "Did you catch a bluefin tuna?" β
Crew C: "No, you see the announcement on the app, the catch of the second place this time is a marlin of more than 700 catties and 43 albacore tuna." β
Captain: ", forty-three?" How did he do it? β
Crew D: "I remember there were only two people on board, that's a bit of an exaggeration, right?" It's hard for five of us to fish at the same time in such a short period of time, right? β
The situation is indeed a bit unbelievable, and anyone who has actually caught sixty or seventy pounds of albacore tuna knows that this thing is not easy to catch.
If a single person is not assisted by an electric winch, it may take up to an hour.
Under normal circumstances, five people play at the same time, and it should take eight or nine hours to fish forty-three, which can indeed be done in time.
But there is a limit to human physical strength, and it is enough to choke on one tuna, let alone catch seven or eight in a row.
The world's top athletes, the ones with the best endurance may not be able to resist.
However, there were only two people on Chu Mingcheng's boat, which was even more incredible.
Therefore, some people immediately asked whether he had secretly brought fishing nets or longlines, and how could normal fishing come up.
Some of them were jealous, and they even called the organizer directly, suspecting Chu Mingcheng of cheating, and asking the organizer to re-inspect their boat.
For a while, everyone began to discuss this matter on the radio, and even Chen Yang and others, who were near the high seas, knew about it.
Out of concern for his brother, he immediately made a phone call to Chu Mingcheng.
"Ah Cheng, now many players are discussing on the radio that you caught forty-three tuna in just three days, everyone thinks it's impossible, what's the current situation on your side?"
Chu Mingcheng watched a group of staff members go on board to search, and shrugged his shoulders speechlessly: "There is no situation, the organizer specially arranged ten staff members to board the ship because of this matter." There were even divers who went to the bottom of the boat to check, and I was also drunk. β
Because Chen Yang was on the hands-free, Zhang Wei next to him also heard the specific situation.
His irascible temperament immediately scolded: "This group of people who are enough to do B stuff themselves can't slander others, if the organizer does this, if every ship returning to Hong Kong doesn't search it the same, wouldn't it be very unfair to you." β
Chu Mingcheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at the person in charge of the organizer who was a little embarrassed, because the hands-free was on, it was obvious that the person in charge heard Zhang Wei's words.
"Mr. Wang, you also heard what my friend said. If you don't search all the ships back to Hong Kong like this, I wonder if you are deliberately targeting me, because I have done something that others think they can't do? β
"And you just brought up the installation of surveillance, so does every ship need to install it?"
"Of course, all the ships need to be monitored when they come back."
The person in charge was actually a little helpless, originally he didn't want to pay attention to this matter, but there were too many players who called, and it was indeed a bit exaggerated to count the forty-three tuna fishing back and forth in three days.
So he had to arrange for someone to come and check on the situation.
In addition, the installation of monitoring was also a decision made by the organizers after discussion, because the patrol boat and the monitoring staff were limited, and the sea was vast, many of them had not encountered many boats for more than ten days.
In such a situation, the player wants to do something, and he really can't find it.
Therefore, it was finally decided that all boats need to be monitored, and if the monitoring is broken or something, the contestants consider themselves unlucky and need to return to the sea as soon as possible.
If you do not return for more than one day, you will be treated as a retirement.
It was the first time that a fishing tournament was held, and the situation in China was different, so it was difficult to completely copy the specifications of foreign countries.
Therefore, many places have to be explored and improved step by step, and there is no way to do it.
Zhang Wei's words are very suitable, if the competition is to be fair, then all boats must be treated like this.
Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo were very satisfied when they heard this, so they were not targeted at them alone, so they naturally had no opinion.
The change of things is not very clear to the players who are still in the open sea.
Some of the players saw the second place result and had a sense of urgency, and the most pressure was Wang Laoliu.
His second trip to sea was much less fortunate than the first, and although he had caught seven tuna so far, it was only a yellow fin and not of much value.
If Chu Mingcheng is okay this time, then if he is lucky next, there will be no problem in surpassing him at all.
Therefore, Wang Lao Liu thought twice and decided to contact his old friend first, which was also his final backhand.
If necessary, he felt that he needed to prepare some special means.
He took out his phone and dialed a number.
After a while, the phone was connected, and a very awkward voice came from inside: "Wang Sang..."
Wang Sang, this kind of title is very small as soon as you hear it.
The fishermen of the East China Sea are somewhat discordant with Xiaori because they are close to each other.
But there are also many fishermen who have made transnational "friendships" at sea, that is, the fish caught or caught, which are sold directly to the fishermen on the other side of the day.
The price of seafood is generally higher on the small day, especially the fish used for sashimi.
Their purchase price is higher than that of domestic fishmongers, so some fishermen will trade and sell fish directly on the sea when they meet fishermen who have a small day.
It can not only make money, but also clear the space under the fishing boat.
Whether the fish can be sold at a good price has a lot to do with the freshness of the fish.
Under normal circumstances, many fishing boats in the open sea only come back in a week, so the fish caught in the first two days will naturally not be so fresh, and the price will be much cheaper.
If it were sold directly to Xiaori at sea, then this problem would not have arisen.
At the beginning of the transaction, both parties actually encountered a lot of trouble, because the unit of money is different, and the two sides are not very easy to trade.
Later, the small day was directly exchanged for RMB, and it was cash, so it was much more convenient to trade.
In today's era, some sea fishing veterans like Wang Lao Liu have prepared international accounts, and transactions are more convenient.
And since Xiaori can buy fish directly, he can naturally sell fish as well.
Wang Lao Liu's backhand, of course, plans to buy bluefin tuna directly from Xiaori when necessary.
He bought it from a small day and then sold it to the organizer, but in fact, he didn't lose much money.
As long as he wins the first place, his income will naturally be much higher than this loss.
However, Wang Lao Liu thought of this, which does not mean that some other related players did not think of this.
But these people didn't know that because some people who were jealous of Chu Mingcheng reported that the organizers were going to install two monitors on their ships.
Originally, they could sneak past patrol boats and staff who were monitoring in speedboats, but now they have to install surveillance, so it will be difficult for some backhands to implement it!
No, when these people saw the new announcement on the app, their faces suddenly looked worse than eating.
"Convex (θΉθθΉ)"
Wang Laoliu, who just hung up the phone and saw this announcement, almost didn't drop his mobile phone, he just finished making a phone call, and the organizer came out like this.
"mlgbd, which Shabi reported it, isn't this okay?"
The announcement has already stated that Chu Mingcheng has no problem, so won't this matter implicate him, a person with a backhand?
Wang Lao Liu is very helpless, and it seems that he can only use the second hand before he returns to the voyage, opening up a wave of gaps.
If it weren't necessary, he really didn't want to use this backhand.
Of course, there are other players who think the same way as him, and they will all decide to avoid surveillance and go to the border line on the high seas to stabilize first.
As for breaking the monitoring while waiting for a transaction, no one will do it unless necessary.
The risk is high, and if you are found to be disgraced, you may also face a ban.
