After waiting for everyone to call again, Lin Xinhai invited them to Luo Laosi's fishing boat.
Luo Laosi only had three top-quality tuna, all about the same size, weighing around 300 kilograms.
Wang Long also hung up the phone and handed cigarettes to Lin Xinhai and Luo Laosi: "The fish I will pick up later will be sent to Shenzhen overnight."
"Okay. The best tuna, as long as the price is negotiated, it will be loaded onto the ship and set off."
"How to calculate the freight? Isn't it still 10,000 yuan an hour?"
"For the farthest point in the Pearl River Delta, it's free, so use Yuanxing 55."
The Yuanxing 55 has a chilled compartment, and the space is quite large. It can hold several tons of bluefin tuna without any problem.
Only the best tuna needs to be delivered quickly, while the average tuna will be frozen directly at a later time.
"How much does a pound of average-quality bluefin tuna cost?" Mr. Zheng asked.
"These fish must be rare at this time, and the one with the highest price will get it," Lin Xinhai said.
If it is a common fish, then sell it casually. Everyone knows these scarce goods, and whoever bids the highest price belongs to them.
Scarce goods are a seller’s market, and there is no need to worry about buyers.
After all, both fish merchants and ship owners want to make as much money as possible.
While the fish traders were watching the fish, Lin Xinhai went outside with a satellite phone and called Luo Wen: "How far is it?"
"45 nautical miles, almost."
I still remember that Luo Wen bought the big swordfish that Zhou Sheng caught.
Luo Wen's style is very wild, he also has customers in Xiangjiang, and the prices he can offer are also very high.
"Hurry up, I'm waiting for you to come over."
"The two engines of my speedboat are about to smoke. By the way, after the bidding, how long will it take for these fish to be delivered to Shenzhen?"
"If the quantity is not large, it can be delivered before dawn."
"So wild?"
"There is a boat."
"Okay." Luo Wen thought for a while and then said: "It's more than 600 kilometers to Shenzhen. Let's send it there chilled. Can we get there before dawn?"
"Guaranteed to arrive."
"Well, it must be delivered before dawn."
"Don't worry, it will be delivered if it says it can be delivered."
It is relatively close to Shenzhen, only more than 600 kilometers away. It can be reached in a few hours at the speed of the Yuanxing 55.
"Have you started bidding yet?" someone asked.
"Wait a minute, there's another boss who hasn't come yet."
"What is Luo Wen doing? He came from Shenzhen and should have arrived before us." Boss Wang said.
Luo Wen and Wang Long are old acquaintances, and they have a large customer base.
Luo Wen's business is mainly in Shenzhen and Xiangjiang, and Wang Long's customer base is mainly in Pearl River and Guangzhou.
There is basically a circle of people here, everyone is basically familiar with each other, and there are many overlapping customer groups.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng are still catching fish.
Next to the seine, on a black and white fishing boat with lights on, Yan Xiaoxi stood beside the boat and looked at the busy Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan also looked at Yan Xiaoxi and waved his hand. There were still many fish in the seine that were not up, and they couldn't move away.
"Collect some nets." Chen Yuan looked at the commander of the Xinhai and shouted.
"Okay." After a while, someone on the boat shouted: "Close the net."
The seine was closed a little more, and Chen Yuan and the others continued to catch fish.
It was getting dark when a bright light came quickly from a distance.
It was a small yacht, equipped with two engines, and could cruise at a high speed of more than thirty knots. The small yacht set out in the morning, because it had to travel a long distance and it took a lot of time to carry the reserve oil.
Chen Yuan glanced at it and continued busy with his own affairs.
On the Xinhai, Lin Xinhai put down the ladder and waited for Luo Wen to come up. Wang Long on the side couldn't help complaining: "Why did you come?"
"I'm already very fast. Didn't you set off at 8:30 earlier? Why did you arrive so early?" Rowan said.
Wang Long pointed to Yuanxing 55 not far away: "We came here in that boat, and the speed was more than 40 knots the whole way."
"Cowhide. It's very beautiful. Whose boat is it?"
"Lao Hai's disciple's boat."
"I took a look just now. It's quite beautiful. It ran more than 40 knots throughout the whole journey?"
Wang Long said 'hmm': "We are almost catching up with Da Fei."
"Better than a flying cow."
The speed of Dafei can reach more than 100 kilometers per hour, but the weight of Dafei is relatively light.
That boat on the sea looks very big. It can maintain a high-speed cruise of more than 40 knots, which is awesome.
Wang Long just came over, got on the boat, and looked at Lin Xinhai: "How many top-quality tuna are there?"
"So far, there are 8 fish, including one fish." Lin Xinhai said: "Go in and take a look, and then start bidding."
Arriving at the freezer, waiting for Luo Wen to see the fish, the bidding started.
"The first one, the first fish so far, weighs 436 kilograms." Lin Xinhai said: "If it's less than 300,000, don't bid."
"500,000." Luo Wen said.
"550,000." Wang Long.
"700,000." Rowan.
"750,000." Wang Long.
Rowan touched the stubble on his chin: "900,000."
"One million." Wang Long took a deep breath.
His big client's highest bid was 1.3 million, but the other party also said that if the fish goes back, if the meat quality that can be seen is worse than that of the tuna last month, it won't work. Wang Long got up and went over to look at the tuna and open it again.
parts of...
Only Wang Lung and Luo Wen bid on this fish, and everyone else watched.
It’s over a million, and it’s too risky to participate.
"1.05 million." Luo Wen said.
Lin Xinhai glanced at Wang Long.
Wang Long did not hesitate: "1.1 million."
"Okay, do you have a big customer?" Luo Wen looked at Wang Long and smiled.
"Why, you can only have big customers, but I can't."
Rowan chuckled: "1.2 million."
Wang Long wanted to curse: "1.25 million."
"1.3 million." Rowan said with a smile.
Wang Long was heartbroken and said: "1.35 million."
This is the last bid. If I lose 50,000, I will treat it as maintaining the customer relationship.
The boss who reserved this fishing net can pay up to 1.3 million yuan. If the price is higher than this, the other party will not want it. This line must be operated. Even if the fish loses money, as long as the relationship is maintained, he can still get money from the other party in the future.
Earn it back.
"1.4 million."
Luo Wen has seen the quality of Fish King. With his channels, 1.4 million is not yet his bottom line.
Luo Wen is bound to win this title.
Suppliers of scarce fish have a circle, and reputation in this circle is very important. When the reputation becomes great, business will often come to you. Not only business comes to you, but more importantly, the supply of scarce fish.
Luo Laosi looked on, very excited.
He hasn't slept since yesterday. He was very sleepy just now, but now he is full of energy.
One fish, 1.4 million.
This is probably the series of my lifetime. I will catch the most valuable tuna in my lifetime...
Sometimes I really don’t understand the world of rich people. Some people watch live broadcasts and reward anchors with hundreds of thousands, millions or even more. Occasionally, it is revealed in the news that a fish is worth millions, or even
Tens of millions.
It is not difficult to see a fish worth hundreds of thousands, but worth millions? Luo Laosi didn't believe it, but now, he saw someone quoted 1.4 million yuan.
