fisherman legend

Chapter 183 Fishing Market Auction
Compared with other sea areas, the chances of catching tuna in the waters near Nanzhou are very low.Perhaps it is precisely because of the lack of this kind of tuna, which has been loved in recent years, in the domestic waters, and the price of tuna in China is also bullish every year.

Different tuna can be sold at different prices.Among them, bluefin tuna, which is the most respected and rarest, has become the favorite of high-end hotel restaurants and high-end diners.

In recent years, although there are fishermen who have gone out to sea from time to time, they have caught tuna.But most of them are black fin or yellow fin tuna.Even so, these tuna are more expensive than ordinary sea fish.

Judging from the catch of this trip, Zhuang Haiyang and the crew knew that the price of that bluefin tuna alone was enough to make them a fortune.But how much you can earn in the end depends on the final auction price.

Although Zhuang Haiyang didn't make a big deal of it, Zhao Penglin brought a lot of managers of hotels and restaurants on the island to the pier. No matter how stupid a fisherman is, he knew that there must be something big.Otherwise, why did these responsible people come here?

Seeing Chen Xingwang who was traveling with him, these fishermen also stepped forward to inquire in due course: "Mr. Chen, what's the situation?"

"You'll find out later! Good thing, I'm afraid you won't see such excitement a few times a year!"

"Brother Zhuang is going back to Hong Kong?"

As soon as this remark came out, Chen Xingwang also said in surprise: "How do you know?"

As a result, the fisherman also said directly: "Who doesn't know, Brother Zhuang and your son are close buddies. Now that so many people are coming, and you follow, it must be Brother Zhuang's boat that is going back to the port. But he leaves the port, okay?" Elephant is not a few days.

Coming back so quickly must have caught some rare good stuff.Otherwise, running so far back and forth will cost a lot of gas!Mr. Chen, just tell me, what good stuff did Brother Zhuang get this time? "

"Did you see these bosses and bosses? Those good products, do you think you can snatch them? Help maintain order and don't let too many people come over. Seize the opportunity and talk to these bosses and bosses, and you can do business in the future Woolen cloth!"

"That's right! Don't worry, what we say in this fishing port is still useful, just look at it!"

Accompanied by several senior fishmongers among them, they immediately recruited manpower to clear a berth.Those in charge who were invited also recognized several fishmongers who had dealt with them.High-end restaurants or hotels naturally have less than one seafood supplier.

To put it simply, these restaurants and hotels are also casting a wide net, hoping that fishmongers will give priority to supplying them when they receive good goods.Now that they're here, they don't mind, they'll find a few more suppliers.

Anyway, in the fishing market of Haizhen Town, there are quite a lot of fish caught every day.Hotel restaurants like them sometimes have to buy high-end seafood ingredients from outside the province.If it can be purchased locally, the cost can also be saved!

While everyone was chatting in small groups, the lights of fishing boats that appeared in the distance also attracted everyone's attention.As the fishing boat began to slow down and approach, the sharp-eyed fisherman said, "It's Brother Zhuang's boat!"

While talking, Chen Xingwang also called Zhuang Haiyang and asked him to park the ship directly at the cleared trading berth.Even through his relationship, Chen Xingwang also found nearby police officers to help maintain order.

If you really want to let others watch the excitement, then the auction will become very chaotic.These days, people like to watch the excitement. If there are no restrictions, people who watch the excitement will crowd the cleared berths.

After receiving Chen Xingwang's call, Zhuang Haiyang immediately said, "Uncle Zhou, the No. [-] berth has been cleared out, and the bosses and fisherman are waiting there. Let's just drive and dock there."

"Okay, I got it!"

As an old captain, Zhou Yang naturally knew the location of every berth in the wharf.When the fishing boat was about to dock, Wang Yanming and the others were also surprised when they looked at the crowd on the shore, "Why are there so many people here?"

"It's normal! Once a fishing boat catches good or big fish, it will attract buyers. Of course, among these people, there should be more people watching the excitement. Not everyone can afford such an expensive fish! "

"Join in the fun! If you experience this kind of thing a few more times in the future, you won't find it strange!"

The hired old crew members seem to be used to this kind of situation.But for them, after so many years of fishing, there are really not many opportunities to participate in such scenes.There are not many good items worth auctioning in a year!

Seeing the fisherman standing on the shore, Zhuang Haiyang also picked up the cable and threw it to the shore accurately.The fisherman who is familiar with him is also very enthusiastic to help fix it.When the fishing boat came to a complete stop, Zhuang Haiyang also walked to the shore.

As for Wang Yanming and others, according to Zhuang Haiyang's prior instructions, they continued to stay on the boat to guard the fish.In addition to the tuna caught by accident, there are also a lot of other fish caught in the sea this time!
If others are allowed to board the boat, it is estimated that the boat will also be crowded with spectators.In view of this situation, Zhuang Haiyang, as the boss of the ship, naturally needs to go ashore first, chat with Zhao Penglin and others, and then invite people to board the ship to see the goods.

As for how to auction tuna, it’s not too late to start after seeing the goods!

Under the introduction of Zhao Penglin, Zhuang Haiyang shook hands with the invited bosses one by one, and said politely: "Boss XX, boss XX, hello! Please take care of me!"

After some politeness, Zhuang Haiyang also continued: "The cargo is on the boat, please move the bosses and take a look on the boat. In order to ensure that the fish is brought back alive, I did not dare to stop along the way. Those cargoes will be returned at this time." Live well."

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, Boss Zhuang, let's take a look at the goods first!"

As everyone boarded the boat, some of the fishmongers also said at the right time: "Brother Zhuang, can we get on the boat to see the excitement?"

"Okay! However, the space on the ship is limited, everyone must be careful later. Waiting for the shipment, please help me."

"That's natural! My family is doing business, so I must take care of it."

He directly led the crowd to the water tank where the tuna was stocked.Under the illumination of the light, everyone could clearly see that the tuna crowded in the water tank were still alive.The bluefin tuna is also very conspicuous when squeezed inside.

"This fish probably weighs two to three hundred catties! I haven't seen such a big bluefin tuna for a long time!"

"That's right! These blackfin tunas seem to be of good quality. It's not bad to buy them and sell them right away!"

Accompanied by the chatter of the crowd, Zhao Penglin also spoke at the right time: "Okay! We've seen the fish too, so let's hurry up and start fishing! We've eaten a lot of dead tuna, and it's rare to see it alive. Bar?"

It is not difficult to hear from Zhao Penglin's words that he is also helping Zhuang Haiyang raise the price.This kind of live tuna can indeed be slaughtered and sold as long as there is a place to buy it back.For diners, this is also a novel experience.

"Well, it's not too early, and we have to go back after buying the fish, so let's start quickly!"

Although some bosses are curious about other water tanks, what are the catches.But most of them came here today for this bluefin tuna.If the price is really too high, it is not bad to take a blackfin tuna back for publicity.

As Zhao Penglin said, the hotels and restaurants they operate buy a lot of frozen tuna every year.I've never come across anything like this.These days, diners pay attention to fresh seafood when eating seafood, so the freshest seafood is naturally the freshest.

I found Zhou Yang and asked him to organize the crew to use nets and cranes to start fishing the tuna in the water tank one by one.On the other hand, Zhuang Haiyang and Wang Yanming stayed on the shore and were responsible for collecting the accounts.Chen Xingwang will be in charge of the auction.

When the first blackfin tuna was auctioned by a hotel owner after several rounds of bidding.After weighing and paying, he also said with a smile: "Everyone, I have accepted it! Come on, help me quickly and carry this fish to the oxygen supply truck."

Worried that leaving the water for too long would cause the tuna to die, the boss immediately found someone to send it to the rented oxygen supply car.When the tuna entered the water and swam again, the boss also seemed to heave a long sigh of relief.

Several of the bosses have never been involved.Waiting until the bluefin tuna was finally successfully caught out of the water.After the weighing, the fisherman who helped out quickly said, "Everyone, this bluefin tuna weighs 310 jin. It's still alive. It's very rare!"

As the owner of bluefin tuna, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "Bosses, please make an offer!"

Considering that the bidding time might be too long, Zhuang Haiyang also asked someone to bring a huge water tank, and put the overweight tuna in the net directly in the water tank.Wait for the auction to go out, and then transfer to the oxygen supply car.

One of the bosses, seeing that everyone was silent, immediately smiled and said: "Since you are all so polite, then I will start by throwing bricks and stones, 200 million!"

The first asking price of 200 million really excited the audience.Wang Yanming and others who were standing beside Zhuang Haiyang were equally happy when they heard this.If the transaction is made at this price, each of them can share [-] yuan for this fish alone.

As the first boss made an offer, other bosses who wanted to bid were not polite and began to increase their prices one after another.When the price exceeds 300 million, there are no more than two bosses who really dare to participate in the bidding.

To everyone's surprise, the boss who made the price first finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'll offer 310 million! Old Chen, if you continue to increase the price, I'll have to quit tonight!"

The price of [-] per catty is indeed beyond everyone's imagination.To these bosses, even the bluefin tuna is alive.However, bluefin tuna also depends on the quality of the meat. If the quality of the meat is not good, it cannot be sold at a high price.

As a result, in the end, the other three competed to the final boss, and finally chose to give up.The final transaction price of this bluefin tuna was fixed at 310 million.This transaction price is also beyond the expectations of many people.

After transferring the account, the boss was also very polite, gave Zhuang Haiyang a business card, and said with a smile: "Boss Zhuang, if you have any good products in the future, please call me at any time. As for the price, the guarantee is not a problem."

"Okay, then thank you Mr. Zhu for your support! We will cooperate again if we have the opportunity in the future!"

Making more friends with buyers who need high-end seafood will also help open up the market.With the increase in the number of trips to sea, Zhuang Haiyang also plans to have a chance. Next time he goes to the fishing market on this island to test the waters, which will help to build his reputation!
