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

Chapter 1055: No worries about selling!
11pm.

The temperature on the sea surface gradually dropped, and the sea breeze was very comfortable.

Zhao Dahai stood on the deck and turned his head to look at Ding Dawen and Ma Baozhu who were together in the cab. He didn't know what they were talking about.

Ma Shijie and Luo Hongxia were not inside, but were chatting with Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming at the stern of the fishing boat. From this, we can see what the attitudes of Ma Shijie and Luo Hongxia are. This is an opportunity for Ding Dawen and Ma Baozhu to be alone together.

"There really is no problem at all with Da Wen Ge and Ma Baozhu's affairs now!"

"Just wait for the wedding!"

"correct!"

"When will Brother Jie and Brother Jun hold their wedding banquet?"

Zhao Dahai thought of Ding Jie and Ding Weijun, who were Ding Xiaoxiang's elder and second brothers. Logically, they should get married first before it would be his and Ding Xiaoxiang's turn.

"As for the banquet, I guess it will take another year or two."

"I've been taking over the family business recently and it's been going very well. I've put all my focus on it."

"It's already been settled, and I'm not too old."

"It won't be a problem in another year or two."

Ding Chongshan said this while looking at the tip of the rod in his hand.

Just now, Zhao Dahai came back and everyone had a meal together. He invited Ma Shijie, Ma Baozhu and Luo Hongxia. Now that they have finished their meal, some are chatting, some are talking, and some are fishing.

Ding Jie and Ding Weijun's troubles will not happen so quickly, this was something that had been planned long ago.

Zhao Dahai thought about it and nodded. Ding Jie and Ding Weijun were a little older than him, but not much older. They had just taken over the family business, so their attention and energy must be focused on it. Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi had already established relationships with Ding Jie and Ding Weijun, so it really didn't matter if it was a year earlier or later.

Zhao Dahai looked at Ding Xiaoxiang who was talking to Yang Qin not far away. Considering Ding Xiaoxiang, they could only get married after Ding Jie and Ding Weijun.

Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry at all. He and Ding Xiaoxiang were younger than Ding Jie and Ding Weijun, and they got along very well. Although they were not married yet, it was no different from being married. They just had to wait for everything to fall into place.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Are there more fish in the sea these days?"

Ding Chongshan continued chatting with Zhao Dahai while fishing.

"Correct!"

“It really feels like that!”

"The fishing has been very good these past two days. This must mean there are more and more fish in the sea."

Zhao Dahai thought about it and nodded affirmatively.

Ding Chongshan is worthy of being a businessman with many years of experience. His judgment on the fish in the sea is very accurate. In just two days, he did not even purchase fish, shrimps or crabs from the company. He just went fishing at sea and could suddenly feel that the number of fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea was increasing.

"No way? I mean, do you two feel the same way?"

Lin Zuhua glanced at Zhao Dahai and Ding Chongshan.

"Some time ago, the fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea disappeared without a trace for some unknown reason."

“Whether it’s fishing or fishing at sea, it’s not that there are no fish to catch, it’s not that there are no fish to catch, but the numbers are very small.”

Zhao Dahai nodded. Lin Zuhua rarely went out to sea to fish recently, and his business usually had little to do with fish, shrimps and crabs, so he didn't understand the situation.

Lin Zuhua was about to say that Zhao Dahai caught thousands of kilograms of fish every day, so how could he say that fish in the sea were more difficult to catch? However, he swallowed the words back. Zhao Dahai was not an ordinary person, and it made no sense to compare him with ordinary people.

"In the past half month or even almost 20 days, the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs have risen very fast. The purchase price has increased, and the wholesale and selling prices have increased. If you calculate the total, the highest increase can even exceed 40%."

Ding Chongshan talked about the extent of the increase in purchase prices and sales prices in recent times.

Lin Zuhua was shocked. He was not in this business. However, the business of fish, shrimp and crabs was like other businesses. If the increase was so huge, it would be really shocking.

"Isn't it true?"

"The prices of fish, shrimp and crab have risen so much in recent times."

"Even the most common fish, shrimp and crabs have gone up in price, and the high-priced fish have gone up even more."

As Ding Chongshan spoke, he suddenly lifted the rod to stab the fish, then turned the spinning wheel to reel in the fish. After a while, a 30-pound sea bass struggled out of the water.

Ding Chongshan shook his head. This fish was too small and he didn't like it. He found that after several trips of fishing with Zhao Dahai, he no longer looked down on fish weighing a few kilograms. Sea bass had to be at least ten kilograms. Only those weighing twenty or thirty kilograms were good to him.

"what!"

"If that's the case, Zhao Dahai, you must make a lot of money on this trip, right?"

Lin Zuhua immediately thought of the big groupers caught by Zhao Dahai. These fish can be sold at very high prices under normal circumstances. Now that the price has increased by 40%, it is incredible. Besides, ordinary fish can increase by 30 to 40 percent, so the valuable ones in Zhao Dahai's hands must increase by at least 70 to 80 percent.

Zhao Dahai smiled and nodded. The prices of fish, shrimp and crabs have risen sharply recently. The fish he bought from the big fishing boat played a big role and made a lot of money. The most important thing is that he and Ding Xiaoxiang sold most of the fish stored on the fishing boat two days ago. Now the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs have fallen, and they are just at the best and highest price.

"Ugh!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"It's not enough to catch so many fish, but there's also someone like Ding Xiaoxiang who can sell these fish for you." "If you don't get rich, who will get rich?"

Lin Zuhua was very envious.

Zhao Dahai caught a lot of fish, but catching a lot of fish does not necessarily mean he can make a lot of money. If the selling price is not right, the fish caught by Zhao Dahai will go to other people at a lower price, and the people who make the most money are those who bought Zhao Dahai's fish.

When Zhao Dahai first started fishing, he cooperated with Liu Gang and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant, and the price he sold was already good. Now Zhao Dahai only takes care of fishing, and the selling of fish is left to Ding Xiaoxiang. Ding Xiaoxiang has followed Ding Congshan and Zhang Li in doing business since she was a child. Don't be fooled by her young age, she is really a good business person. One can fish, and the other can sell the fish at a very high price. The two of them cooperate perfectly.

Ding Chongshan laughed. What Lin Zuhua said was absolutely right. If Zhao Dahai wanted to fish and sell fish, it would definitely take up a lot of energy. Now that he has caught more and more fish, selling the fish is definitely a problem. He even has to sell them at a relatively low price. With Ding Xiaoxiang, Zhao Dahai really doesn't need to worry about selling fish. He just needs to concentrate on fishing.

"Zhao Dahai."

"During this period, the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs will fall, including the grouper you caught will definitely be affected to a certain extent. It is very likely that they will return to their original prices in a short period of time, or even be a little lower than the original prices."

Ding Chongshan reminded Zhao Dahai to pay attention to this matter.

Zhao Dahai nodded. He knew that what Ding Chongshan said was right. If more and more fish were caught or hooked, the prices of fish, shrimps and crabs would fall, and the fall would be quite large in a short period of time. This was a normal market reaction and would affect the prices of the groupers he had caught.

"It will definitely have an impact, but it won't be too big. In addition to supplying the Hongyun Restaurant and Mr. Wu Weimin, the remaining fish, or even most of the fish, are kept on the fishing boats."

“Raise more and sell less.”

Zhao Dahai had thought about this a long time ago. If the market prices of fish, shrimp and crabs fall, the price of his grouper will definitely be affected, and there will definitely be a time when it will fall, but compared with other fish, shrimp and crabs, the decline in grouper will not be too large, but a decline is a decline.

When the market is rising, we sell it to Hongyun Restaurant and Wu Weimin's private restaurant at the rising price. When the market is falling, we must also sell it at the falling price.

Zhao Dahai’s plan was very simple. He would try not to sell fish that can be avoided, and would keep more on the fishing boats and wait until the price returned to normal before selling them.

Ding Chongshan thought about it and nodded, thinking that Zhao Dahai’s idea was good.

"Uncle Ding."

"Didn't you say last time that you wanted to go the route of high-end custom-made fish? The drop in the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs won't have a big impact on us. I think we can start now."

"Ding Xiaoxiang told me about this, and I think it's very good."

"Honestly speaking, whether it's Hongyun Restaurant or Wu Weimin's private restaurant, most of the time they need smaller groupers."

"It's not that we don't need groupers weighing 70 to 80 kilograms, or even over 100 kilograms, but we don't need too many."

"We may be able to go a higher-end route, and it would be good to sell these large fish."

Zhao Dahai remembered that Ding Xiaoxiang had mentioned to him an idea that Ding Chongshan had figured out. He didn't catch a lot of big fish when he went out to sea, but sometimes he could catch a lot at once. Such large groupers weighing over 100 kilograms could be sold in Hongyun Restaurant or Wu Weimin's private restaurant, and sometimes he could even sell a lot of them, but under normal circumstances he couldn't sell too many. In any case, the price of such groupers weighing over 100 kilograms was very high. Ding Chongshan's method might be able to sell a lot of them.

"With ordinary fish, you have to worry about not being able to sell them, but with this kind of top-quality fish, there is no need to worry at all."

"The feedback from the information I have released is very good. It's just that I haven't really said that I can provide it yet. Once I do, there will be orders immediately."

Ding Chongshan has been doing business for many years and is very familiar with this industry.

Big fish may not necessarily taste better than small fish. For example, a 100-pound grouper may not taste as good as a 10-pound, 8-pound or 20-pound grouper in terms of taste and texture. However, big fish just look grand and prestigious, and they sell for a higher price than other fish.

The number of large fish is smaller than that of normal-sized fish, so they are more sought-after in the market and can be sold at a higher price.

Ding Chongshan was not worried at all that Zhao Dahai would not be able to sell the large groupers he caught. As long as he asked for orders, people would line up to come. Hongyun Restaurant and Wu Weimin's private restaurant had very good business, but no matter how good it was, it was impossible to sell 10 or 8 large groupers weighing dozens or even hundreds of kilograms every day.

"Oh?"

"Is it a transportation problem?"

Zhao Dahai thought of this.

Ding Chongshan smiled and shook his head. Transportation was not a big problem. Some of the seafood he purchased were frozen, but some of them were also sent alive to the county, the city, and even the province. All of them were transported by special live seafood transport vehicles.

"I'm a little worried now. There are too many orders and I can't handle them all at once. The number of fish you caught is not enough. I'm thinking about how to control this situation."

"My thought is that you just sold most of the fish recently. You need to wait and see until you have a certain amount of fish in your hands before you can talk about this matter."

Ding Chongshan was not kidding. As long as he opened his mouth to take orders, many people would come to him. Don't just look at a restaurant or a private restaurant ordering a fish. There are countless restaurants or private restaurants like this in the entire county, the entire city, and even the entire province. Add them together, it's not a simple matter. The demand is very large.

Am I thinking too simply?

Not at all!

The bottom line is that the number of large live groupers like the one Zhao Dahai caught is relatively small, and they are scarce on the market, with supply far less than demand.

No matter what it is, as long as the quantity is small and only a few people have it, it can be sold at a good price. There is no need to worry about no market or no one buying it. The big grouper in Zhao Dahai's hands is in such a situation.

Zhao Dahai thought about it and decided not to think about it. All he needed to do was catch a lot of fish.

"correct!"

"Zhao Dahai!"

"There is one thing you must pay attention to now."

Ding Chongshan glanced at the dark sea. This trip out to the sea was not just for fishing. There was also one very important thing he had to remind Zhao Dahai to pay attention to.

Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment. Ding Chongshan's expression was a little serious. This matter must be very important and it must be something that neither he nor Ding Xiaoxiang had thought of, otherwise they would not have mentioned it in front of him.
