Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 1034 Everyone has their own plans
8am.

Hongyun Restaurant.

Office on the second floor.

Liu Gang and Liu Lei sat on the sofa.
"dad!"

"Do you think we should buy some more fish?"

Liu Lei looked at Liu Gang, who was sitting opposite him and drinking tea leisurely. He knew that the business of Hongyun Restaurant had been managed by him very smoothly during this period and there had been no problems. However, this matter was a bit big, so he needed to discuss these points with Liu Gang and get his opinions.

Yang Qin had told her yesterday that Zhao Dahai, especially Ding Xiaoxiang, wanted to sell a large number of groupers or sea bass raised on fishing boats.

If they sell in large quantities like this, the price will be lower. Another thing is that after selling a large number of these fish, there won't be many fish left. It is not 100% certain whether Zhao Dahai will be able to catch fish next time, especially whether there will be enough to supply himself and Wu Weimin.

Liu Gang was experienced and knew what Liu Lei was worried about. It was nothing more than that Zhao Dahai would not be able to catch enough fish next time and Hongyun Restaurant would not have enough fish to sell.

"Does Hongyun Restaurant sell a lot of grouper every day?"

Liu Gang was a little curious. He had not paid attention to the business of Hongyun Restaurant recently. He only knew that it was very good and that Liu Lei managed it very well. He had no idea how many fish were sold every day, especially how many groupers caught by Zhao Dahai were sold.

"On average, that's at least 1,500 kilograms of fish a day!"

"Boss Wu's place has about the same number."

Liu Lei spoke directly. He handled the restaurant's business every day and knew very well how much fish was needed every day.

"So many?"

Liu Gang was shocked.

"dad!"

"One thousand five hundred kilograms does seem a bit much, but in fact it is not much at all."

"The groupers that Brother Dahai caught are all around 30-50 kilograms, and sometimes 70-80 kilograms."

“There are even bigger ones!”

"One thousand five hundred kilograms is just twenty or thirty fish."

"Our Hongyun Restaurant is now known in several nearby towns, counties, and even cities as the place where the best grouper fish is sold."

"Everyone come to our place to eat delicious fish!"

"It's not difficult to get 20 or 30 groupers. They can be sold easily."

Liu Lei knew that Liu Gang had not been in charge of the restaurant's business recently, so he was not very clear about it. But in fact, the business had been getting better and better since the Chinese New Year, and a lot of grouper could be sold every day. One thousand five hundred kilograms was really not too much. Sometimes, even three thousand kilograms could be sold, and most of the time, two thousand kilograms could be sold. The one thousand five hundred kilograms he just mentioned was a bit conservative.

Liu Gang scratched his forehead, and finally he understood why Liu Lei wanted to tell him about this.

On average, Hongyun Restaurant can sell 1,500 kilograms of slate, and if we add the same grouper, it will take 3,000 kilograms of grouper a day.

Zhao Dahai is indeed very good at fishing, but there are many uncertainties when going fishing at sea.

You can catch a lot of fish today, but you may not catch any fish tomorrow.

When Zhao Dahai goes out to sea, he can make a lot of money if he can catch fish. If he doesn't catch any fish, there is no loss. However, Hongyun Restaurant and private restaurant cannot sell fish one day and not the next. This will have a huge impact.

"Didn't Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang always plan to keep the fish on the sea fishing boat? Why do they suddenly want to sell most of the fish now?"

Liu Gang was a little curious about this matter.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang bought a large sea boat, a professional sea boat that can be used for raising fish, with the purpose of raising the fish they caught and selling them at a higher price.

Now thinking about selling most of the fish at once, this is really a bit abnormal.

"There are very few fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea during this period, and the prices have been rising continuously."

"It's been almost half a month!"

"Brother Dahai and Sister Xiaoxiang both think that this may be the peak of this wave of price increases. They want to seize this opportunity and sell the fish they have so that they can make more money."

"Another thing is that in the past few days, Brother Dahai has caught a lot of fish."

"There are so many fish in the fishing boats, there are risks involved."

"It's not a holiday now, so there's no need to take such a risk or it's a bit too much to take such a risk."

Liu Lei learned about this from Yang Qin yesterday and also knew what Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai were thinking.

"How many fish has Zhao Dahai caught in the past few days?"

Liu Gang became even more curious now.

"There are definitely groupers weighing 20,000 kilograms or even close to 30,000 kilograms. Two nights ago, I caught a sea bass weighing nearly 10,000 kilograms."

"There are already a lot of fish on the fishing boat."

"Brother Dahai and Sister Xiaoxiang have no less than 50,000 kilograms of grouper! Sea bass and other fish are not counted!"

Liu Lei patted his forehead.

I only know that there are a lot of fish on Zhao Dahai's fishing boat. Whenever I get on the fishing boat, I will go to the live water tank and the cold storage to take a look, but I have never seriously thought about how many fish there are.

Now I just made a rough count and found that there were really a lot of fish on Zhao Dahai's fishing boat.

"what?"

"Are there so many?"

Liu Gang was also startled and his eyes widened.

"Correct!"

"There must be so many, and no less. No wonder Brother Dahai and Sister Xiaoxiang are thinking of selling most of the fish on the fishing boat!"

Liu Lei nodded without hesitation. There must be this many fish on the fishing boat, and there must be more than enough.

"If there really are so many fish, Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang must be thinking of taking this opportunity to sell most of the fish while the price is relatively high now."

Liu Gang now understood that Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang were determined to do this, and he and Wu Weimin had to think carefully about how to do it.

"What are your thoughts?"

"Would you like to buy some of the grouper?"

Liu Gang did not express his thoughts immediately, but asked Liu Lei what ideas he had.

"Hey!"

"dad!"

"Honestly, I really can't make up my mind!"

"If we take some grouper now, the price will definitely be the market price, which is definitely higher." "After a period of time, the price will fall, and our costs will be reduced all of a sudden, right?"

"From this point of view, it is not cost-effective for us to buy too much grouper now."

"But if we don't buy more groupers and store them in stock, if Brother Dahai doesn't catch that many fish next time he goes out to sea, both our Hongyun Restaurant and Wu Weimin's private restaurant will definitely be affected, and the impact may be huge."

"Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang did say that it's impossible to sell all the fish at once. We must consider the fish that Hongyun Restaurant and Private Restaurant want to sell."

"But no matter what, there is definitely not a lot left. I estimate that at most only about 6,000 kilograms will be left."

"Based on the current sales volume of fish in our restaurant and Boss Wu's private restaurant, it will be gone in just two days."

After listening to what Yang Qin said yesterday, Liu Lei has been thinking about what to do, but he hasn't made up his mind yet. This matter is really a headache.

"Oh?"

"Hasn't anyone made up their mind?"

"But time waits for no one. You have to make a decision no matter what."

"It's impossible for Zhao Dahai or Ding Xiaoxiang to wait for you and Boss Wu Weimin to make a decision before buying fish!"

"Who knows, Ding Xiaoxiang might already be in contact with someone who wants to buy fish at this moment."

"Or maybe it won't be long before Ding Xiaoxiang calls you and Wu Weimin to find out how many fish you want to take."

"It won't work if you don't make up your mind soon. You can't just say you need time to think it over when Ding Xiaoxiang calls you, right?"

Liu Gang shook his head.

"what?"

"dad!"

"I'm just asking for your opinion, aren't I? Let's see how an old-timer like you is going to decide this matter."

Liu Lei looked at Liu Gang with some confusion. He came to talk to his father about this matter because he couldn't make up his mind. Now I heard that it seemed like he wanted me to make the decision and not care about this matter.

"You are in charge of Hongyun Restaurant now. I am no longer in charge of this matter. You have to figure it out and come up with a decision."

"No matter what the idea is, it's your own decision, and you have to bear the consequences."

"You can't come to me for everything that happens at the Hongyun Restaurant that you manage, right?"

"All right!"

"Hurry up and make a decision. I estimate that it won't be long before Ding Xiaoxiang calls you!"

Liu Gang put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, put his hands behind his back and walked out slowly. He had his own ideas about this matter, but he didn't say it. Liu Lei made the decision himself. Now he had to go to the back to check out the construction site.

Liu Lei really didn't expect that his father Liu Gang would just turn away and ignore the matter.

"Hey!"

"Looks like I really have to make my own decision! I really don't know whether to buy it or not."

Liu Lei knew his father Liu Gang's character very well. He said that if he asked Liu Gang to make a decision, he would definitely be scolded if he asked Liu Gang again.

Liu Lei had no choice but to think about the matter carefully and decide whether he should buy more fish and stockpile them.

Liu Gang walked out of Hongyun Restaurant and turned to the open space at the back. He looked up at the buildings that were getting taller and taller and was very satisfied.

This building will be completed in a short time, and it will be rented out after it is completed. At that time, the rent alone will be enough to make his family, Zhao Dahai, and Ding Xiaoxiang rich.

The location of this place is really great. The management and other aspects of the newly built place are definitely much better than those scattered markets or shops in the small streets and alleys.

Maybe it will be a little difficult at the beginning, or your colleagues will definitely create some trouble, but that’s not a problem.

As long as this building is rented out in the city, it won’t take long before many people come here to rent shops.

Liu Gang stood at the edge of the construction site, thinking about what Liu Lei had just said to him.

Should I buy a batch of grouper and stockpile it for myself?

This matter seems a bit complicated, but in fact it is not complicated at all.

Whether to buy now or even if to buy, how much to buy, ultimately depends on Zhao Dahai's fishing skills.

Zhao Dahai is very good at fishing and can easily catch enough fish to sell to Hongyun Restaurant and Wu Weimin's private restaurant. Why would he need to buy fish?

Is Zhao Dahai good at fishing? Can he easily catch enough fish to sell to Hongyun Restaurant and Wu Weimin's private restaurant?

Is there any need to talk about this matter?
Liu Gang's idea was very simple. There was no need to buy extra elephants. Not to mention, Ding Xiaoxiang had made it very clear that not all the fish would be sold at once. The fish must be kept for Hongyun Restaurant and Wu Weimin's private restaurant.

Does Liu Lei want to understand these things?

It is possible to understand it but it is also possible not to understand it.

If you think clearly, you will definitely not buy more fish. You will definitely wait until the price drops before buying. If you don’t think clearly, you will buy more fish.

If you buy more fish, the cost will be higher.

Once the price of fish drops, the price of fish sold in restaurants will also drop.

The money earned will definitely be less.

Liu Lei has to do it himself, make his own decisions, and decide how to do it. Even if he loses money, he has to accumulate experience on his own.

Liu Gang knew very well that even if Liu Lei made a wrong decision, or even caught a large number of groupers and other fish, it would only result in a little less profit or a small loss, and there would definitely not be a big loss, so there was no need to pay attention.

Liu Gang walked around the construction site and left after staying there for about an hour. He did not go back to Hongyun Restaurant but went straight home.

pier.

Ding Chongshan’s seafood purchasing company.

Ding Xiaoxiang got up early in the morning and came over on a small motorcycle. Business was very good. She helped for a while. Now most of the fish, shrimps and crabs have been collected. The female downline workers who were hired had to sort, select, pack and then load the fish. All these were done by specialized people and she didn't need to worry about it.

"Oh?"

"Are you going to sell off most of the grouper and sea bass and such like that on the boat?"

Ding Chongshan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ding Xiaoxiang to make such a decision.

"Isn't the price of fish very high recently? Dahai and I have discussed this and it is very likely that the price will drop!"

"Another thing is that we have caught a lot of fish in the past few days. There are too many groupers and even some sea bass on the fishing boats!"

"It's not a holiday now, and if I keep everything in my hands, it would be a bit risky!"

Ding Xiaoxiang knew that Ding Chongshan had more experience, so she had to explain her thoughts on this matter. There were a lot of fish on the fishing boat, and the difference between selling them now and later at the highest price was huge. It wouldn't hurt to listen to Ding Chongshan's opinion.
