Carry an aquarium with you

Chapter 182 What kind of smuggling are crabs caught on the high seas?
"Go early and return early, pay attention to safety on the road."

"Well, I see, but I should stay at Lynch's for two days to discuss with them about the king crab transportation channel. You should rest at home."

"Good~"

Li Xinyue tidied Qin Feng's clothes that were messed up by moving the fish, and then got off the boat with a black bag. The bag contained butterfly shells, which he wanted to take home to eat at night.

She didn't go with her for a while, and she couldn't help much.And she was also curious about the newly opened aquatic product store, so she went directly to the aquatic product store with Wang Ailian.

Seeing that they had already left, Qin Feng didn't hesitate, and first went to find a few digging tools, and then drove the Future to sea.

But he did not go down the waterway, but went to the open sea.

Qin Feng secretly inquired about the Japanese language on the previous map. It was not a password, but a description of the terrain.

According to the map, there are three connected islands in that place, and the possible treasure is in a cave on the easternmost island.

It also doesn't say what will be in the cave, and for Qin Feng today, the attraction of treasures is not as great as before.

But there are ten tons of toothfish in the aquarium that need to be disposed of, so we need to find a sea area with no signal and no one. Since we are going to the sea, we can dig up the treasure by the way.

Otherwise, I always feel that I have something to do, and I will think of it from time to time.

The location on the map shows the Okinawa Trough, the strait-and-island region outside the exclusive economic zone of the East China Sea.

Located between the Fish and Diaoyu Islands in the Ryukyu Trench, it is a back-arc basin formed by the expansion of the lithosphere in the Ryukyu Trench.

Most of the sea area has a water depth of 1000 meters, and the maximum depth is more than 700 meters. It is a place where the crustal movement is relatively active.

At the maximum speed of the future, it can be reached in more than ten hours.

However, Qin Feng stopped when he arrived at the edge of the exclusive economic zone of the East China Sea at eight o'clock in the evening.

When the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is easy to kill fish, and there are no fishing boats around, so it is a good time for him to work.

Because the head of the toothfish has no economic value, Qin Feng holds a hammer in his hand. Once the toothfish is released, he goes up with the hammer and smashes the head of the fish.

Then pinch the head and tail, deal with the internal organs and rinse them quickly, then take them for quick freezing.

An hour later, even if Qin Feng killed dozens of tons of toothfish and knew its body structure very well, he still only processed twelve fish, one fish in 5 minutes on average, and his efficiency was twice as slow as when Li Xinyue was there. more than.

The main reason is that it is slow in the aspect of quick freezing. It is very fast to kill fish now, and it can be killed in less than a minute.

Qin Feng secretly sighed, no wonder men and women are not tired of working together, the working time has been shortened by more than half, of course not tired.

Busy until twelve o'clock at night, Qin Feng put the king squid under the boat for protection, then packed up and went back to sleep, and continued to process the remaining fish when he was ready to go back.

After a night of nothing, he woke up in the morning and continued to set off to the island marked on the map.

A few hours later, he came to the Okinawa Trough.The clear water and blue sky here, the scenery is extremely beautiful, comparable to the Paracel Islands.

If it weren't for the fact that there are more crustal movements here, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are prone to occur, then living here is also a good choice.

Qin Feng looked at the coordinates given on the map and came to the destination.

Just at a glance, there are many small islands, and it seems to take some time to find the islands mentioned on the map.

In nearly a hundred years, a place will undergo earth-shaking changes, but the mountains will still be the same mountains, and the water will still be the same water. There will not be too many changes.

Unless, there is a big earthquake.

At this time, Qin Feng was very helpless. After searching around the coordinates for a day, he couldn't find the so-called three connected islands.

He just found two similar places, each with three islands, but they were not too close to each other, so it was hard to be sure.

Qin Feng thought it would be easy to find it according to the map, so he came here at this time.

But it turns out that this is not something that can be done in the short term.

He has to deal with the fish now and sell it to Lynch, and he doesn't have much time to delay here.

After thinking about it, Qin Feng still decided to leave first, and then talk about it after finishing what needs to be done.

Just after launching the Future, he thought of another thing.

With a thought, the fossil detector appeared in his hand, and he clicked to detect.

"Di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di."

The frequency of the detector sounding this time exceeded his expectations. He felt that there must be a lot of fossils here, but he didn't expect that there were so many fossils that it was unimaginable.

Not to mention the underwater ones, there are a lot of them on these islands alone, and many of them can be excavated.

Qin Feng didn't dig it right away, but drove the Future to explore all the islands in this area, and finally had a spectrum in his mind.

After passing seven small islands and two shallow reef beach areas just now, there are thirteen fossils that can be excavated.

This is only found in a small area of ​​the Okinawa Trough, but how big is the entire Okinawa Trough?

It seems that there is hope for the excavation of fossils in the future, and if you go abroad to buy them, it is estimated that one hundred kinds of marine fossils will be collected soon.

Unexpectedly, instead of finding the treasure this time, he found such a big surprise instead. Qin Feng was actually more satisfied in his heart.

It took half a day to deal with the toothfish. Instead of digging for fossils, he went to Lynch's first.

When he arrived at the pier, Lynch and Qin Lei were already waiting at the pier.

"You've made a lot of money this time!" Lin Qi stepped forward and patted Qin Feng's buttocks, laughing.

Qin Feng shrugged his shoulders: "It's okay, the future still owes 800 million, and I have to go to the beautiful to book a crab boat, and I'm using money everywhere!"

"By the way, when are you going to go to the beautiful country, tell me, I will go with you." Qin Lei interrupted.

"Anna helped you manage the channel?" Qin Feng was slightly surprised.

When Qin Lei heard Anna's name, his expression was a little unnatural, but he nodded: "Sometimes, even if the stomach is good, you have to pretend it's not good, and you can only eat soft ones, right! "

"Fuck!" Qin Feng and Lin Qi raised their middle fingers at the same time.

However, neither of them asked much about the matter between Anna and him.If it's done, Qin Lei will naturally tell them that they can just wait for the candy, but if it doesn't work, wouldn't it be embarrassing to ask.

"Okay, then you get ready, I will go to the beautiful country in a few days."

It's almost September now, and the crab fishing season is about to start in early October, so Qin Feng has to go and book the boat first.

After the toothfish in the aquarium was processed, it was only [-] tons, plus the remaining [-] tons on board, a total of [-] tons.

Among them, the one weighing less than [-] catties was exactly [-] tons, and the rest weighed more than [-] catties.

The price given to Lynch is naturally the wholesale price, and he eats all of them, so the price given by Qin Feng is also relatively low.

Those under [-] catties sold him [-] kilograms, and those over [-] catties sold for [-] kilograms.

Those under 61 catties were sold for a total of 2000 yuan, and those over 260 catties were sold for a total of 320 million yuan, which adds up to [-] yuan.

Not counting the 670 tons at home, Qin Feng's income from going to sea this time has reached [-] million.It certainly wasn't enough to buy a crabbing boat like Aldridge's, and it was far from it.

But it is enough to buy a smaller and cheaper one, and you can only make a decision after going to the beautiful country to learn more about it.

However, there are still two largest toothfishes in the aquarium, Qin Feng, which have not been sold.

One originally weighed 99 kilograms, but now it has grown to 290 kilograms and is [-] meters long.

One was originally 91 catties, but it grew to 270 kg, and it was [-] meters long.

Qin Feng can go to Alaska to catch crabs, mainly with the help of Aldrich and Sigel, so these two fish kings are very suitable for giving as gifts.

This kind of King Fish, which has exceeded the world record, is given to the captain who has been fighting at sea all his life. This gift will obviously be more in line with their wishes.

Getting along well with these two bigwigs in the crabbing circle will obviously make it easier for Qin Feng to join the crabbing circle without encountering too much trouble.

There are several transport vehicles on Lynch's side, so the workers are carrying fish, and the three of them are standing on the deck chatting.

Qin Feng's headache now is what to do with the emperor crabs in the crustacean tank, and the taxation of the toothfish.

Lynch now has his own wholesale channel, so he may know more about this, so he asked this question: "Lynch, do I need import taxes or something for the toothfish I catch in Antarctica?"

Lin Qi was surprised when he heard the words, and said, "Where do you get any import tax on the fish you caught in the high seas. It's just sold in the store, and the store needs to pay the tax."

"Uh, don't you need it?" Qin Feng was stunned, and then his eyes lit up, so he didn't need to sell his king crab secretly?

"Have you seen that the ocean-going fishing boats of the fishing company have to pay taxes after they catch fish on the high seas? To pay taxes is also a certain amount of tax for the company's overall income." Lynch said speechlessly.

"Import tax is the purchase of aquatic products from other countries to our country, and then we need to pay import tax. If you catch it from the high seas, it does not belong to any country. In addition, the fishing boat is also owned by the country, so naturally it is not Need to pay."

Qin Feng immediately understood that the toothfish was caught from Antarctica by himself, so naturally he didn't need to consider the tax issue if he had a fishing license.

As for the king crab, if a large amount is taken out, it may be investigated, but I insist that it was caught abroad, so it has nothing to do with smuggling.

After all, he was indeed caught, but in a way that others could not think of.

Some ocean-going companies allow their company's ocean-going fishing vessels to purchase aquatic products from abroad as self-caught aquatic products, thereby evading taxes. If this situation is found, it is considered a crime of smuggling ordinary goods.

And is Qin Feng afraid of checking?
Don't be afraid!

So the next time I come back from Australia alone, I can sell it boldly and confidently, but this time, I still have to be careful.

After all, she is not afraid of being investigated, but if it is investigated, Li Xinyue will wonder where these emperor crabs come from.

After the toothfish were moved to the transport vehicle, Qin Feng washed the deck of the Future, and then got into Lynch's car and went to his private restaurant for dinner.

This is Qin Feng's second visit to Lynch's restaurant, but it is the first time he has seen the specific decoration style of his private restaurant.

What he didn't expect was that this place was actually Huaxia style.

But after Lin Qi said something, the downstairs is a grocery store, Qin Feng understood instantly, and gave him a thumbs up.

At the dinner table, Qin Feng learned that Lin Qi and Qin Lei's current seafood wholesale business is doing well, but the prices of many aquatic products are high and they basically do not make money, so they opened up some sales channels.

So the next king crab is very important. If Qin Lei can buy a large number of king crabs in the beautiful country, then the two of them will make a lot of money in the second half of the year, and Qin Lei can also live a financially free life.

"I recently caught some king crabs in the high seas of southwestern Australia. Do you need me to get some for you?"

After thinking about it, Qin Feng still decided to sell part of the king crab first to accumulate funds for buying a crab boat. He still doesn't want to buy a second-hand crab boat.

He considered second-hand before because he had no money, but now there are [-] tons of king crabs in the aquarium, and he can make money if he sells them, so he must find a way to sell them in a short time.

"I, Cao, definitely want it! How expensive is this thing? Now the emperor crabs weighing more than 600 catties are sold here for more than [-]. You can get more if you can. If there are dozens of tons, I will even take out a loan." They will eat your goods."

Lynch immediately said that he wanted it. The seafood he got from others was very expensive. Except for the higher unit price of consumption in the store, he basically didn't make much money from wholesale.

But Qin Feng's side is different. Whether it's the tuna and other seafood before, or the toothfish now, he has made a lot of money.

Even if the toothfish is wholesaled to others this time, he can earn about 30 yuan per kilogram, which is close to 50 yuan.

And the transportation cost does not need to be paid by oneself, just pay some tax.

In addition, buying from Qin Feng's father's farm before also made them a lot of money.

In short, as long as Qin Feng gets the seafood, Lynch will definitely not lose money, instead, he will gain every time.

"Several tons are definitely not there, maybe there is a chance to get a few tons or a dozen tons." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Then after I book a boat in the beautiful country and come back, I will go to Australia for a while!"

"Okay, then it's settled." Lynch agreed, and then rolled his eyes, and said, "Why don't you just go to the Strait of Malacca? I heard that there will be more blue fins there!"

"Don't make trouble, the Strait of Malacca is managed by a country, and there are many pirates, I used to feel uncomfortable." Qin Feng's face suddenly darkened, "But there will be blue fins near the Zengmu Shoal in the South China Sea. I'll go and look for it."

"Okay boss, as long as I have a blue fin, you can ask me to do whatever I want, even this can be considered." Lynch winked, turned around and patted his own butt.

"roll!"

After talking about the emperor crab, Qin Feng then talked about the king crab: "By the way, since Qin Lei wants to go to the beautiful country with me, then your transportation matters have been settled?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Lei quickly put down his drink, and replied, "I'm going this time to find out about the transportation of king crabs and obtain the qualifications of a purchaser."

"Not only red and blue king crabs, but also the qualifications for loose leaf crabs." Qin Feng reminded.

During the crab fishing season, everyone gives priority to catching the full quota of king crabs, and then grabs the Matsuba crabs.

The earlier you go fishing for Matsuba crabs, the more you will harvest.If you go late, you can only eat leftovers left by others.

Qin Feng himself wanted to sell all the crabs he caught to Qin Lei, because even if he got the qualification, there might not be any crab captain willing to sell to him.

"That's natural." Qin Lei and Lin Qi nodded at the same time.

Whether we can have a good year depends on how much we can get in during the crabbing season in the second half of the year.

Qin Feng himself used to think of ways to rent more quotas, even if the rent was expensive.

After all, with the golden finger of the aquarium, he was not afraid that he would not be able to catch crabs, but worried that the quota was too small, and he managed it in the past week.

After resting at Lynch's side for one night, Qin Feng sailed home.

Looking at the twenty tons of king crabs in the aquarium, he thought for a while and took out twenty.

The size ranges from ten kilograms to more than twenty kilograms, and a small part reaches more than 30 kilograms.

At the beginning, he deliberately selected some smaller king crabs, the most of which were seven or eight catties, so the water tank was basically filled with emperor crabs of about fifteen or six catties.

Of course, there are also big ones. The biggest one has reached more than 50 kilograms, but this is the only one.

King crabs weighing more than [-] catties only accounted for one-tenth of all the king crabs in the tank.

Anyway, the maximum weight after cultivation is only [-] tons, it is better to choose more [-] to [-] catties, which will not attract the attention of others, and it will be easier to sell.

Twenty king crabs, if brought back to the aquatic product store, should be able to sell for a while.

Back in his hometown, Qin Xuanmin drove to the pier to pick him up, and brought twenty crabs to the aquatic product shop by the way.

The aquatic product store officially opened. Qin Feng is not here, so he can take a look at his first store at this moment.

There are a total of four rows of glass water tanks in the house, in which various fish, crabs and lobsters swim, all of which are oxygenated and separated.

There is a large pool in the middle, which contains some large fish, such as grouper.

These were bought by Qin Xuanmin himself. Even if they were sold, they wouldn't make much money, but they must be in the store.

There are also many snails, shells and the like.

The blue crabs are the most displayed, after all, they are produced by themselves.

There are also some deep-sea chilled fish in the warehouse, but the quantity is not much.

The rest of the large space has been filled with toothfish. It is obviously impossible to sell this fish one by one in retail, but needs to be cut into pieces and then vacuum-packed.

The toothfish sold for retail are all toothfish under 130 catties, but the price per catty is also much higher, ten yuan higher than the original selling price reported by Qin Feng, reaching [-] yuan per catty.

However, there are many people who buy it. After all, the taste of this fish is famous, and there are many rich people here.

There are not many rich people here in Qin Feng's hometown, but there are many people worth tens of millions and millions.

And most people like to eat seafood. In the past, some people went to the wharf every day to wait for the fishing boats to come back to grab the fresh wild sea fish and crabs that were just caught.

At that time, the fishermen at the wharf raised the price very high, even reaching twice the market price.

After the opening of the Deep Sea International Seafood Market, the business at the pier plummeted, and the prices slowly returned to normal.
