434. Selling fish and selling lobster
Company r has the largest scale and the most reasonable price, but they did not unify the Sedick Fishing Port. The reason for this is that the company has regulations that the lobster they collect is at least one thousand pounds and does not serve them if they are less than one thousand pounds.
This is to reduce the workload of the staff and increase work efficiency, because in order to sell for a good price, several fishermen will cooperate to collect the lobsters themselves and then share the money later.
However, this gives other seafish products companies a way out. Most of the lobster fishermen who have average harvests still go to small seafish products companies to sell. One is too lazy to make trouble, and the other is that the meat quality of different lobsters is different in price, and conflicts are likely to arise when sharing money.
Company r occupies the most eye-catching location of the fishing port. The fish warehouse is right next to the dock. Some large frozen trucks for seafood transportation are parked next to it, which looks very domineering.
Seeing R company, the bull laughed loudly. Qin Shiou asked what was going on. He pointed to the roof and said, "CW is very slutty. They originally installed huge signs on the roof, which are LED large display screens. Look, now this thing is gone, and it will definitely be destroyed by the storm!"
The storm is now named "Storm No. 18 by the Canadian government. Craken is the name of the Nordic sea monster. This is named to show the powerful destructive power of the storm.
When Qin Shiou called Winnie, he learned that the disaster caused more than ten ships to sink and 20 people to die. Now reports of the Kraken 18 storm swept across North America. The Canadian government attaches great importance to the disaster.
As the discussion was discussed, the Harvest fell on the pier, and the smoker skillfully squatted on the pier shouted: "Vulture Gates! Look at me. Thank me, I'll give you Canadian dollars!"
The bald middle-aged man laughed when he saw the cigarette gun, took out a cigarette and threw it to him, and said, "It's you guy, it's great that you didn't drag it into the sea by Craken! Come on, how many lobsters have you brought? Are there two hundred pounds?"
Qin Shiou used to think that only Chinese people like to scatter cigarettes to bring feelings, but when he went to Canada, he found it. Canadians like it too, and when they meet acquaintances, they will come together to smoke a cigarette and reminisce about the past. Similar to Chinese people.
Yanbing took a beautiful breath with his cigarette in his mouth and said, "Two hundred pounds? Are you laughing at me? How can I not know the rules of CW? You can't go to the dock if you don't have to wait for less than a thousand pounds, right?"
Bald Gates sighed and said, "That was the rule before. Now everyone is crazy about fishing lobsters. Since the beginning of January, few people can still make up a thousand pounds at one time, so we have also started to harvest lobsters in scattered ways."
The two were chatting, the smoker went to the dock, and the bull led people to open the cover of the ice hatch, which was full of lobsters with rubber bands tied into large claws, densely packed.
Seeing these lobsters, bald Gates immediately threw away the cigarette in his hand. He said in shock: "God, did you sneak attack the lobster nest? How many lobsters are there? I bet. I haven't seen anyone fishing so many lobsters at once this year!"
"Actually, it's not a lot. I don't know the specifics, but I think it should be 6,000 pounds! Come on, you send someone to see the quality of our lobsters. Then we deliver the goods and the money in the same way!" Yan Gun said proudly as if he was reserved.
Gates personally got off the boat to check the meat quality. The meat quality of the lobster is not as strict as that of the bluefin tuna. It is mainly divided into two categories: hard shells and soft shells. The harder the shells, the closer the meat, and the better the taste, the higher the price.
In addition, lobsters are divided into male and female. The meat of male lobsters has a more texture, while female lobsters will have shrimp rosy. The prices of both sides are different. Before the female lobster is spawning, the price is more expensive than that of male lobsters, and it is lower after spawning.
Gates simply checked these lobsters, knocked on their big claws and back shells, and exclaimed: "You are so lucky! Apart from guessing that you have entered the lobster nest, I don't know where you can find such a great lobster! High-quality! Male lobsters cost 35 yuan per pound, female lobsters cost 30 yuan per pound!"
The price is already very high. When Qin Shiou was preparing to raise lobsters before, he checked the price changes in recent years. When the lobster caught by fishermen was sold to aquatic companies, a pound of only ten to fifteen yuan.
However, when asking for a price, Qin Shiou still sighed: "The price of lobsters on the market is 100 yuan per pound, why is the harbor so cheap?"
Gates smiled and said, "Man, obviously you don't understand the lobster market..."
"Bald, pay attention to your words. This is our captain! Great captain!" The bull said unhappily. This rough man is really convinced by Qin Shiou now and no one is allowed to underestimate him.
Gates is a standard businessman, and he was not angry. Instead, he laughed out loud and explained to Qin Shiou: "When we buy lobsters, we don't put them directly into the market, and we have to put them in the lobster curb, which will consume a lot of our manpower and financial resources..."
Company R has a lobster warehouse called dryland-pound in the Arichat port in Nova Scotia. This lobster warehouse is known as the "five-star lobster hotel" and is said to be able to store more than one million lobsters.
The lobster warehouse is divided into 34 layers, with cold sea water circulation inside, which is kept between 34 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit, so that the lobster can maintain its hardness and supply lobsters to the world unlimited year round.
After introducing his own operating model, Gates said: "Even if we put it directly into the market, we need to use a freezer truck or an airplane to transport it, and the price is not low..."
He was talking here. At this time, Nimitz came to the door from the air following the trajectory of the harvest. He saw Qin Shiou thorn his head and squatted on Qin Shiou's shoulder with his wings restrained.
Seeing the big warship bird, Gates was stunned. He looked at Qin Shiou again, climbed down the side of the boat and looked carefully at the name of the fishing boat in white paint, and asked tentatively: "Harvest? Are you Harvest?"
Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "Yes, this is the harvest..."
"God! You actually came to Sedick? Oh, God! Do you know, you are now Canadian heroes! The news said that you braved Typhoon 18 of Craken to save 84 survivors? Is it? Is it?" Gates asked by grabbing Qin Shiou's arm.
Qin Shiou spread his hands and said, "Maybe we did save the people on the Nas Guest Number. If I deny it, it would be too pretentious. However, I don't think this is the most important thing at the moment. What is important now is to sell our lobsters and sea fish."
The sales process is very simple. After the price of the lobster is set, it is packed and weighed directly. It is 6,800 pounds in total, 4,000 pounds in male lobster and 2,800 pounds in female lobster, totaling 224,000 Canadian dollars.
Gates was about to congratulate them and then settle the bill. The bull and several fishermen opened another entrance to the ice cabin, and boxes of sea fish were already packed to show their faces.
Despite seeing many big scenes, Gates was still shocked by the gains of Qin Shiou and others! (To be continued)
