My Deep-sea Fishery

A fish market in Pengcheng.

Uncle Xiang took Zhou Wang and an old sailor squatting in front of a pickup truck, smoking a stuffy cigarette.

"Brother De, why don't we go back!" Zhou Wang sighed and said, "The rental of the truck, ice, and the food and sleep for the three of us will cost hundreds of dollars a day, and the income is not enough for the expenses."

"If I don't sell these fish, I will never go back." He Mingde glanced at the truck behind him, "Did you forget what the captain ordered before departure? Don't care about the expenses, as long as you sell the catch, you will win."

"Okay!" Zhou Wang smiled wryly, lit a cigarette again, and stopped talking.

Xiang Yang pays special attention to this batch of several thousand catties of catches worth only tens of thousands of dollars, because there will only be more and more catches like this in the future, and the loss of this batch of catches is not just a few It's as simple as 10,000 yuan.

As long as he can sell this batch of goods, and even establish a stable and long-term sales channel with the buyer, Xiang Yang is willing to pay no matter how much he pays, let alone the expenses.

A big lady walked towards the van.

He Mingde got up quickly, "Sister, do you want to see some seafood?"

The eldest sister picked up a small red fish and asked, "How do you sell these fish?"

"Sell?" Uncle Xiang asked tentatively, "Do you want to buy the goods or buy them and eat them yourself?"

"Of course I bought it back and ate it myself. Why should I approve the goods? I don't do aquatic business." The eldest sister said.

He Mingde immediately lost interest when he heard that they were shopping for vegetables. They were sailors and had never thought about retailing by themselves, but he still said: "Sister, you have this kind of food for 45 yuan a catty."

The elder sister immediately put down the little red fish in her hand in disgust, turned around and walked away without paying the price.

"Frozen fish costs forty-five catties. Wouldn't it be nice for me to buy live fish?" The eldest sister walked a long way before a word came to He Mingde's ears.

He Mingde shook his head with a wry smile, and squatted down in front of the truck again.

No way, these low-end seafood are in such an embarrassing position in the market. They cannot be placed on the table of big hotels, because the quantity is smaller than cheap seafood and the cost of feeding is high due to unstable supply. No one in the seafood market is willing. It is raised in seawater, but the price is actually more expensive than cheap seafood, and it is not welcomed by consumers at all.

"How about it, brother? I told you that these sea fish are not easy to sell in our seafood market, right?" A fish shop owner speaking Xiangyin smiled and walked from his shop to Uncle Xiang and squatted down. He took out a pack of Huang Fu and distributed one to He Mingde and the three of them.

He Mingde was extremely depressed, "Angkor, don't you also sell this kind of sea fish in your store? Why is my price the same as yours, and yours is so easy to sell?"

"It's easy to sell." Wu Zhan shook his head, "They are all regular customers, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sell these sea fish."

Zhou Wang said flatteringly: "Angkor, we are all fishermen, you see you buy these goods anyway, why don't you help us?" Zhou Wang's subtext is to ask Wu Zhan to approve their goods.

"I really can't help you with this." Wu Zhan shook his head.

"We can sell you at a price that is 10% lower than your purchase price." He Mingde said immediately.

"Let's not say that you are a low-level one, and you have no one on the fifth floor who can help you." Wu Zhan pointed to a large water tank at the entrance of another seafood shop across the road with a smile, "See what that is?" ?"

"Scylla?" He Mingde wondered.

"It's more than three or two big blue crabs." Wu Zhan corrected.

He Mingde nodded, the blue crabs in the water tank were indeed big and fat.

Wu Zhan sighed, "Actually, I buy blue crabs from the same supplier as that store, but I can only buy blue crabs that are less than three taels."

"It's because I only bought a few hundred catties of this type of sea fish last month, while the store opposite bought more than one thousand catties." Wu Zhan saw the doubts of the three and explained: "Our supplier has a Mandatory requirements, if you want to get more than three taels of blue crabs, you must first buy a thousand catties of low-end seafood one month in advance, and some other high-end seafood have similar requirements."

He Mingde was surprised: "Can they guarantee that they can have more than two or three blue crabs every month? How big is their fleet?"

"They need to make this rule if they can guarantee that there will be more than three taels of blue crabs every month?" Wu Zhan sneered, "It's because they can't produce good products every month, so we people don't want to gamble. Luckily, otherwise the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, even if I bought and threw away last month, I would have bought a thousand catties of goods, who knew that they actually got more than three taels of blue crabs this month."

Speaking of this, Wu Zhan also sighed, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is the best time to eat crabs. If you say that there are no more than three taels of crabs in my store, how much business will be lost!"

The three of He Mingde looked at each other, "No wonder we couldn't sell it even though we lowered the price. It turns out that there is still such a rule in the market."

"There is such a rule, but can you get more than three or two blue crabs?" Wu Zhan asked.

He Mingde shook his head. Although Xiang Yang's family buys crabs, most of them are about two or two, few are two or five, and even three or two are rare.

"Then can you come up with other high-end seafood?" Wu Zhan continued to ask.

He Mingde continued to shake his head. Although the last time I went to sea, I caught migratory puffer fish, an extremely rare seafood, but I sold it to Boss Li and it is impossible to get it back, and even if I could get it back, He Mingde would not be able to ask for it, because Boss Li sells it directly. Wholesale, the price given by Boss Li is much higher than the wholesale price, and the sale of these low-end products is not enough to make up for the price difference.

Wu Zhan went back to look at the store.

The three of He Mingde knew the reason why their catches could not be sold, but they were even more frowning, because they couldn't think of any solution.

Just when the three were at a loss, Xiang Yang called.

"What?"

"What did you say?"

"Oh, ok, I'll come pick you up now."

He Mingde hung up the phone and said blankly: "The captain said he got several hundred catties of swimming crabs and dozens of big lobsters."

"A few hundred catties?" Zhou Wang's eyes lit up, "How big is it? Is it only three taels each?"

"The captain said that the smallest one is four taels." He Mingde said blankly.

"hiss!"

Zhou Wang gasped suddenly.

"Let's not talk about it, you two are watching the truck, the captain is here with the truck, I'll pick him up." Uncle Xiang stamped out the cigarette butt, and hurried towards the seafood market,

Five minutes later, a Huolala parked in the seafood market.

Uncle Xiang directed two crew members to move the foam boxes with ice packs from the truck into the compartment of the small truck.

Xiang Yang also got off the co-pilot of Huolala and looked at a corner of this prosperous Pengcheng.
