Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 477 Cargo Ship
Hanwa went to the city with his father-in-law, and Baoer lived with his master's wife.

However, since he can come and help take care of the baby during the day, Qin Dahe finally has time to do other things.

Prepare competition-version bait and fishing gear for Liu Da and Fu Ge, and collect feedback from anglers from all over the country to verify the practicality of the bait and adjust the flavor of the commercial bait.

Among them, the fragrant bait is the most difficult to make. It doesn’t work when going east, but works well when going west. It’s strange.

The commercial bait with fishy smell is basically divided by Anhui, and the sales volume in Jiangsu area is quite good.

In fact, the feedback from anglers in Sichuan, Hunan and Hubei provinces is also good, but these places have a large number of homemade baits and he cannot compete with them.

Including the general agent, Boss Wan, he also produced a commercial bait for wholesale.

These homemade baits are very popular in the local area, and even local fishing tackle companies have to pay for the secret recipe.

Qin Dahe also wanted to order some back, but the fish in the lake had not been raised yet, and there was no test pond so the effective ingredients could not be measured.

Normal bait manufacturers will have their own test ponds and their own anglers to iterate the bait.

He is also keeping the other three crucian carp ponds temporarily, and will convert them into high-density ponds later to test competition baits and small medicines.

His sales focus has always been on bait, making qualified baits so that anglers can catch fish.

As for fishing rods and fishing boxes, they are just sold as accessories.

There is a lack of equipment for Taiwan fishing now, and no one makes these things, so he made them himself for everyone to use.

This morning, the sun finally came out.

It's a rare rain stop, so I went out and stretched, feeling comfortable.

"Mom, do you have any salted beans?" After washing up, he went straight to the front room.

"Just some salted cabbage and fermented tofu, would you like some?"

"Eat." He chuckled and said soy milk was not bad.

I went to get a bowl of porridge and started eating it with fermented tofu and salted cabbage.

The rosy fermented tofu is sweet and salty, with a hint of wine, and is perfect for eating with rice.

After drinking two bowls of porridge, I touched my stomach with satisfaction.

Sitting in the yard and lighting a cigarette is very comfortable.

The early morning breeze blew over from the direction of the fish pond, making me feel cool.

Sang Biao jumped down from the wall, looked at him with contempt, and jumped out again.

"Silly cat." He took a deep puff of the cigarette and exhaled slowly, then kicked off his slippers and put his feet on Chao Mian's body.

The two dogs are really big and round, just like gas tanks.

Not only did Qin Guo have good food, he also had access to bait frequently. Even Sang Biao started to gain weight.

Maybe Chao Mian felt a little uncomfortable, so she rolled towards him with her belly facing upwards.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"Ce, you're such a big dog, but you still need to scratch your belly." It was so comfortable lying there that he didn't want to get up, so he just rubbed his feet back and forth.

The dog hummed comfortably and closed its eyes, obviously enjoying this "caress" very much.

"Mom, I'm going to the city later."

"Why are you going to the city?" Qin's mother frowned. Her daughter-in-law had to go to work today and she had to take care of the baby alone again.

I also have to do housework and help my second aunt and others arrange work. How can I handle it?

"Go check on Yanyan's dad and Hanwa. We have to pick up Auntie and Baoer later."

"When are you coming back?"

"In the afternoon, let's sort out the inventory over there."

The warehouse in the city has been built. This time we will add some fermented corn and take stock of it.

We still have to ship goods to a few more stores, as sales in Zhejiang have also picked up.

Then we have to deliver commercial bait to Liu Da, so there is a lot to do.

The most important thing is to settle the bill with the express company in May and discuss the future cooperation matters.

According to the three agents, they will guarantee sales of 10,000 kilograms every month for June, July and August.

If the remaining items cannot be sold out, sell them slowly from September onwards to get the rebate discounts during the peak period of these three months.

Other fishing tackle stores do not have such large shipping volumes. In May, they did not even reach the 10,000-jin shipping volume, and they still have to negotiate with others about the rebate of express delivery fees.

The agent wants rebates, and he, the fishing gear owner, also wants rebates.

Although the express delivery fee of more than one yuan per catty is not high, with a monthly shipment volume of 10 catties, the rebate is %.

When it comes to business, you have to save as much as you can, as profits are accumulated bit by bit.

As a veteran in the business world, Qin Dahe naturally understood these principles.

The sun has come out completely, and today is a sunny day.

Yanyan came out in a daze, holding the two babies.

"Brother, wash the baby's butt. I'll go make the milk." After saying that, he put the baby down and went to work.

He stomped out the cigarette butt and began to take care of the two little ones.

Although the diaper has been changed once at night, it still needs to be washed after taking it off now. It will leave urine stains on the body, which will pickle the skin if not washed off.

Then wipe it dry with a towel and throw it back.

Yanyan’s milk was also prepared, and the two little ones drank it with great sweetness while holding the bottle.

The four little ones at home are very observant and won’t disturb me when I’m drinking milk.

Qin Dahe began to move the bait into the car. He had to drive the Santana today. His father had driven the Land Cruiser out to pick up bean dregs in the morning.

"Yan'er, I'm going out."

"Got it. Be careful on the road." Her brother had told her last night. "Bring some coarse sand back for the baby to play with."

"I know. Let me see if there is one." He got into the car and started the ignition skillfully.

Most cars nowadays are manual transmission, including his Land Cruiser, so there is no need to be unfamiliar with the car.

First, I drove to my mother-in-law's house and picked them both up.

Baoer and Auntie went to visit the master and apprentice in the city today and cleaned up the house.

The power of Santana 2000 is average, but the chassis is high, so it is very stress-free to drive on the gravel roads in the countryside.

After picking up the person, we turned the car around and quickly got onto the levee.

It was already past eight o'clock when we arrived at the courtyard in the city. There was no one there when we pushed the door open.

Brother Feng has to go driving a taxi for the early shift, so Grandpa and the others won’t be home until noon.

The living room has been turned into a warehouse, with several shelves filled with various baits, medicines and other things.

There were also three thousand kilograms of silver carp and bighead carp bait piled up in the corner, so that when Qin's father delivered the goods, he could just take what he was missing.

Sometimes people would call to place an order at noon, and he would come over to pick up the goods while driving his illegal taxi, and deliver the goods on the same day.

"Auntie, Baoer, you two stay here for a while. I'll go do some work and come back for lunch together."

"Go ahead." Auntie waved her hand and started cleaning the house with Baoer.

It goes without saying that a house where three men live is not very clean. The two women came here specially today.

I drove to Xinshikou, but didn't rush to deliver the goods. I just went to say hello to Scar Ye.

I smoked some cigarettes as soon as I entered the door.

"You are rich now." Scar lit a cigarette with a smile.

"Haha, you idiot."

It's half past nine now and the fish stall is no longer so busy. The peak period is the morning wave.

"Ahu is still boxing?"

"His father-in-law wouldn't let me fight him, so I bought him a cargo ship for shipping. It's a 3,000-ton ship. I emptied my savings."

The two walked to the back office and sat down.

"Which route should we take?" Qin Dahe's heart moved when he heard this.

"The river boat runs up and down the Yangtze River, and can go as far as Shanghai. There's no problem as he has his father-in-law's protection." Scar said proudly.

I put a lot of effort into getting my son married to the daughter of the head of the Maritime Administration, and now I can finally run a decent business.

It is no problem for a large ship to make millions of dollars a year.

The Maritime Administration now has a very large scope of management and an independent system, so business is the easiest to do there and the path has been paved.

"Haha, then it's really a good idea to come today. I have orders from Wuhan, Jinling, and Shanghai, and I have to ship 10,000 kilograms of goods every month."

"You are talking nonsense. A 3,000-ton ship can only carry your 30,000-jin cargo." Scar said with a helpless smile.

"I don't have to limit the time." Qin Dahe chuckled, "Just send it along the way, and the fishing tackle shop owners can go to the dock to pick up the goods themselves."

He briefly introduced his business: in June, July and August, he produced 30,000 kilograms of goods each month.

There is no fixed time, just deliver it.

"That's fine. You can talk to Ah Hu over the phone about the price. It's not much anyway." Scar said indifferently.

Shipping prices are notoriously low; this kind of short-distance transportation costs only a few cents per pound, but that can't keep up with the large quantities.

A 3,000-ton ship with a freight rate of 5 cents per pound still costs hundreds of thousands of yuan, but it runs slowly and consumes a lot of fuel.

If you encounter some long-distance transportation, the unit price can be higher.

Nowadays, people who work in transportation can make money no matter what they transport, and shipping is even more profitable than land transportation.

After talking about this matter, Qin Dahe was happy. It was like someone was giving him a pillow when he was sleepy.

Ah Hu is an acquaintance, so long-term cooperation in the future will be much more convenient.

According to his estimation, after the price reduction, the three major agents will easily be able to sell 10,000 kilograms a month, and there will also be other baits to be distributed.

Once the market ferments again this year, shipments will continue to increase next year.

I sat here and chatted with Scar about business for a while, and ordered another catfish.

I'll take it back and ask Auntie to cook it, and give it to Grandpa and the kid as a snack at noon.

Come out of the fish stall, drive towards the big roundabout, turn the intersection and you will reach the SF Express point.

He drove the car directly into the warehouse area at the back. As a contracted partner, they shipped goods in batches and didn't have to waste time at the front desk.

"Boss Qin."

"Haha, Xiao Qin is here, sit down."

The two are from the same family and have a close relationship after dealing with each other for a long time.

He also personally poured a cup of tea over. Qin Dahe took a sip with a smile and took the initiative to talk about his bait delivery problem.

"Boss Qin, you know that my three agents can't afford such high freight costs, so they choose to ship the goods separately. I have no choice."

Without waiting for the other party to speak, he continued, "But I can guarantee that the shipment volume next month will exceed 10,000 kilograms. What do you think this month?"

It is already the last day of May, and only 7000 kilograms have been shipped via express delivery, which does not meet the rebate standard.

But he still wanted the rebate, more than a thousand yuan, and it was also to pave the way for long-term distribution of bulk goods in the future.

The other party thought about it for a moment and said, "Xiao Qin, can you tell me more about the business? Of course, you don't have to talk about anything that involves commercial secrets."

He still values Qin Dahe's business very much. There are a lot of bulk goods and the unit price is high. At present, the express delivery business has not gained the trust of the general public, and the most commonly used express delivery service is still the post office.

"You know, I'm in the fishing gear business. I can just show you the order." Qin Dahe took out the phone book.

Based on the average monthly shipment volume calculated order by order, it would be easy to exceed 10,000 kilograms in June.

"The bait business is just starting out now. Although the market hasn't opened up yet, the volume of goods from other provinces is also increasing month by month."
