When Luo Laosi heard that the fish traders were coming, he came over quickly and heard Boss Wang's voice.
'Too low, 1 million.'
Luo Laosi took a deep breath and paused in his footsteps.
One million?
A fish, or?
In previous years, Luo Laosi would go fishing by himself, and he might not be able to catch a million worth of fish in one fishing season.
"I'll pay 1.05 million for these four items." This is Mr. An, Mr. An, an old acquaintance of Luo Laosi.
Luo Laosi also figured out that the total price of the four fish should be the top-quality tuna that Lin Xinhai said.
The world of rich people is really hard to understand sometimes.
There is also an annual fish auction over there in Zhapo, which is the first week after the sea opens every year. This year's top fish was a giant grouper, nearly 300 kilograms, and the price was 279,000 yuan. This value is due to the 'top fish'
This is a gimmick, but these tuna are worth more than two hundred thousand each?
It's too exaggerated.
Regarding the price of bluefin tuna, Luo Laosi only knew a little about it online.
The last time they were in Nansha, Chen Yuan and the others also caught bluefin tuna. Lin Xinhai said that the quality of the tuna was not very good. When it was sent back, the price per catty was only more than 100 yuan.
1.05 million, this price has exceeded Lin Xinhai's expectations.
Lin Xinhai thought for a while and said: "There is another boss who hasn't come over yet. We will bid later."
"Wait for me to make a call."
"I'll make a call too."
The top quality tuna here is fresh and not cheap.
The smallest premium tuna, Lin Xinhai said, weighed 269 kilograms. The largest one weighed 325 kilograms.
At any time, the starting price of these tuna is 100,000 yuan. If there is a chance to send it to an expo or tuna auction market, it may be sold for a sky-high price.
Boss Wang also carefully looked at the meat quality of the bleeding part and the incision of the fish tail. These tuna are very fat and the color of the bleeding part is a little dark, but the flesh color of the fish tail is very beautiful, and it can be seen that the quality is very good.
Some bluefin tuna that have sold for millions of dollars are no different from the top-quality tuna here.
When it comes to high-priced fish, it all depends on the right time, place, and people.
Just like the first fish caught in the winter in Chagan Lake, it has been sold for a sky-high price of several million.
Lin Xinhai added: "There are 7 top-quality tuna that have been shipped, 4 of them are here, and 3 are on Laosi's boat."
"Okay, let me make a call." Boss Wang said and took out the satellite phone.
If you don't have a satellite phone, ask Luo Laosi and Lin Xinhai to borrow it. Chen Yuan also has a satellite phone. It's on the Shengyuan, and Lin Xinhai went over to get it.
These fish are very expensive and cannot be eaten by ordinary customers.
But this is Guangdong, and it goes without saying that Guangdong’s consumption power is huge.
These fish bosses all had their own channels. They called each one and asked what price they could get for about 300 kilograms of top-quality chilled bluefin tuna.
Excellent, chilled...
Tuna like this is not easy to handle.
Most of the chilled tuna sold in the market is farmed tuna, flown in from Japan. The individuals are not particularly large.
About 300 kilograms of top-quality chilled bluefin tuna. This requires an appointment, and it will take a long time to be available.
The calls were made one after another, and the fish bosses also gained confidence.
These fish are too expensive, and it would be uncomfortable if you couldn't get them on your hands.
Ultra-low temperature frozen or chilled, if it is the best bluefin tuna of about 300 kilograms, the price can easily vary by more than 100,000 yuan.
There are very few large-scale bluefin tuna in domestic waters, so they are basically flown in from Japan or Canada. Moreover, you have to rush for time, and the freight costs a lot of money.
Guangdong is a place with a developed economy, many wealthy people, and strong spending power.
Now the Chinese New Year is coming soon, with all kinds of gatherings and reunions.
Every restaurant offers very high prices for top-quality chilled bluefin tuna.
"Brother Hai, phone." Mr. Jin was about to make the next call when a call came in.
Lin Xinhai answered the phone: "Hello."
"I'm Luo Wen. I've already arrived in Dongsha. Don't rush to sell the best tuna. I'll come over and take a look."
"Hurry up, I'll be waiting for you." Lin Xinhai said.
"Why is Lao Luo here?" Boss Wang said, "It must be Luo Wen. I heard his voice."
"It's Boss Luo." Lin Xinhai smiled and nodded.
"I'll go, isn't he in Shenzhen?"
"He just came from Shenzhen."
The best bluefin tuna, after Luo Wen heard about it, he directly contacted the high-speed boat and set off from Shenzhen to come over.
Lin Xinhai caught a group of bluefin tuna, and word spread in the circle.
He has received many calls today, some from people he knows and some from people he doesn't know.
Knowing that Luo Wen is coming, Wang Lung is in a bad mood. In Wang Long's opinion, all the fish merchants here are uncompetitive. But if Luo Wen is coming, it's hard to say.
Waiting for all the fish bosses to call, Lin Xinhai was saying that he would take everyone to Lao Si's place to have a look, when he heard cheers coming from outside.
Lin Xinhai quickly went out to take a look and shouted: "Beautiful."
An extra-large bluefin tuna, probably the leader of the school. This fish is significantly larger than other tuna. More importantly, its body is well-proportioned...
Lin Xinhai trotted over, looked at the tuna carefully, then bled the fish himself, and then came to the side of the boat: "Chen Yuan, how many fish are there below?"
"And some more."
"Would you like to get up and take a rest?" Lin Xinhai said.
Chen Yuan and the others didn't sleep last night and have been working until now.
Chen Yuan waved his hand: "No need, rest after you finish."
"OK."
The fish bosses all gathered around the newly caught bluefin tuna. This fish was estimated to weigh more than 400 kilograms and was very beautiful.
Boss Wang rubbed his hands. This fish should be today's king of fish.
Boss Wang glanced at Lin Xinhai, then at the fish merchant who came with him, walked to the side and took out his phone to call a very powerful restaurant owner: "Hello, Boss Zhuo."
"Brother Wang, what's the matter?"
"I have a bluefin tuna here. It was just caught from the sea. It is still bleeding. It is of excellent quality."
"Just caught?"
"Yes, I am here in the South China Sea Basin, at sea. A boat owner I know gathered around a group of bluefin tuna, all weighing more than 200 kilograms, and there are also top-quality bluefin tuna in it. I just caught a king fish, I guess there are
He weighs more than 400 kilograms and has a well-proportioned body. He can be said to be the best among the best."
"How much?"
"Let's put it this way, this fish should be better than the king fish in your store last month. More importantly, if I can win it, I can send it to Shenzhen tonight."
"How much do you estimate we can get for it?" Boss Zhuo was excited. It is not common to see top-quality bluefin tuna over 400 kilograms, still chilled.
"I can't estimate the specifics. There are several fish merchants on the boat. What price can you give?" Boss Wang said.
"Surely it's better than the superb bluefin tuna I had last month?"
"Sure."
The person on the other side hesitated for a long time.
Last month, he ordered a top-quality bluefin tuna from Japan, weighing 364 kilograms. He bought it from Tsukiji Fish Market in Japan and spent a total of 970,000 yuan including shipping costs.
The bluefin tuna weighs more than 400 kilograms and has excellent meat quality. It is not cheap anywhere. And it is still chilled.
But the 970,000 yuan they spent before was mainly to enhance the reputation of their restaurant and attract high-end customers, and they almost lost money and made a profit.
