The third string of fish hooks caught more fish than the first and second strings.
Lin Xinhai started to collect the fourth string of fishhooks.
Zhao Hai and Gao He haven't finished collecting the second string of fishhooks yet.
I've been doing this since last night, and it's almost noon.
Chen Yuan contacted Zhao Hai and the others and said, "The fishhook hasn't been collected yet?"
"Only half of it has been collected. Do you have two rope hoisting machines on your ship?" Gao He asked.
For the big fish boat, even if the hook is released, the hook is picked up very quickly. And it does not need to stop, it keeps working.
"There are two rope hoisting machines." Chen Yuandao.
"I'm telling you, your speed of lifting the rope is also faster. The second boat of fishhooks I have collected is less than half." Gao congratulated.
"It's almost the same here." Zhao Hai said: "How is your fish catch?"
One group of people rests while the other group continues working. This can ensure maximum efficiency.
Chen Yuan and the others were given 30%, which was not a loss in the eyes of Zhao Hai and Gao He. After all, Chen Yuan and the others were responsible for finding fish. Not only did this save them a lot of time, Chen Yuan and the others were also very good at finding fish.
Fishing with Chen Yuan and others will make more money than fishing alone.
The freezing room is not big, only a few dozen cubic meters. The temperature inside is colder than the ultra-low temperature fish cabin, and tuna can be completely frozen in it as quickly as possible.
"More than five million." The original budget was only more than four million, but a set of spare equipment was added.
The ultra-low temperature fish cabin has an iron fence as a baffle.
The fuel in the reserve tank is not used as a last resort and cannot be used casually.
Zhao Hai, Gao He and the others were secretly discussing whether to jointly build two ultra-low temperature transport ships...
"It's almost the same here." Zhao Hai smiled: "Now hurry up and put away the fishhooks, we can put in a few more fishhooks."
"It's more than double ours." Zhao Hai said: "How much did your ship and equipment cost in total?"
Dad Chen and Dad Zhou are carrying the fish and sending all the frozen fish in the freezing room to the ultra-low temperature fish cabin.
It will take more than a day to place four ropes and finish them.
"Does it count from now on?" Gao He asked.
"Then your speed is too slow, or are you working in three shifts?" Gao He said with a smile: "I'm already collecting the second rope here."
Time is money.
"It's similar to yours." Chen Yuandao said, "I have collected more than two hundred tuna now."
Dongjiang Fisheries has kept the price of tuna too low. The price at sea is 60,000 yuan per ton, which is 30 yuan per catty.
If you catch tuna, it will take more than a day for the tuna to completely die. Tuna that dies without bleeding can only be canned, or chopped into pieces to make feed or bait.
With the help of Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng, the fish in the freezing room were quickly moved. New fish were brought in...
The tuna is piled inside the iron fence to prevent the fishing boat from shaking and the fish to be caught in the ultra-low temperature chamber.
As for the freezing cabin, it is not open. All other worthless fish catches are sent to the bait cabin and can be kept fresh with ice slag.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng went to the fishing boat with nothing to do.
"Okay." Zhao Hai said with a smile.
Now in this large sea area, there are auxiliary ships and spare equipment used for production. This efficiency has been greatly improved.
Zhao Hai's fishing boat works in three shifts. However, the machinery on their boat is not good, and the efficiency is far behind compared with Chen Yuan's.
"From now on, the price of your tuna sold to us will be 90% of the purchase price of Dongjiang Fisheries. The top-quality tuna will be counted separately...the price of other fish will still be 70% of the purchase price of Dongjiang Fisheries." Lin Xinhai said.
.
The price of ultra-low-temperature tuna is high. Even big-eye tuna costs about 130,000 yuan per ton when sent home.
The investment in equipment is higher and the cost of use is also higher. But as long as the fishing efficiency is high, the money can be earned back quickly.
"Chen Yuan, how was the harvest of your ship?"
It took more than eight hours to put down two ropes.
Then, the signal transmitter and the pendant were hung on the dry rope on the east side, and the pendant sank to the bottom. On the rope on the west side, the Big Fish ran with the rope for almost a kilometer, and then the signal transmitter, pendant, and the pendant sank to the bottom.
Chen Yuan and the others' Dabai still had fuel, so they followed slowly. They still put two strings of fishhooks, pulled by two auxiliary boats, in a figure-eight shape. However, there were ocean currents, so the dry rope could not be pulled straight.
"Your boat is fast, so come here first." Zhao Hai said: "After the fishing season is over, our fishing boat will return to China and upgrade its equipment. Fast speed and good equipment will make it more comfortable."
Four ropes are difficult to operate. The main reason is that it takes too long to retract the rope. Putting three ropes is just right...
Then just put down another rope, and another auxiliary boat went over to help Gao He and others put down the rope.
In the afternoon, after six o'clock.
"There are about eighty or ninety tuna now, and they are all quite big. There are more than a dozen tuna weighing more than 200 kilograms." Gao congratulated: "Where are you guys?"
"It's done." Lin Xinhai is on duty now, and Luo Laosi is sleeping.
After the third rope was released, Luo Laosi came to take over and started to collect the fishhook again.
After finishing their work, Chen Yuan and the others went out to watch the fish for a while. Then they went back to Dabai and waited for almost a day for the Big Fish to finish their work before cheering for Chen Yuan and the others.
The total fish caught in the ultra-low temperature fish cabin should be twenty to thirty tons. The fish that can be put into the ultra-low temperature are all relatively expensive fish.
"I haven't started collecting the second string of fishhooks here yet," Zhao Hai said.
Tuna is expensive and profitable.
There were still thirty or forty tuna in the freezing room. Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng put on cold-proof clothes and gloves on the boat and went in to help carry the fish.
"Let's start counting now." Lin Xinhai said: "We will mainly deal with tuna in the future. Also, Wang Peng has contacted us about the ultra-low temperature freezing ship. The ship has set off and will arrive in about ten days. We can still stay here for 8
Days later, eight days later we will deliver the fish, and then go to the northern part of the archipelago.”
At the radio station, Zhao Hai said with envy: "The efficiency of your boat is really high. Just three strings of fishhooks and you can collect them all?"
The fish caught this time was pretty good, with more than 300 tuna. There were also swordfish, marlin, a few large groupers, and rare fish such as Tsing Yi and Ya Yi.
In fee-paying fishing grounds, some large fishing boats even arrange three shifts.
Dabai's fuel gauge has bottomed out, and the main fuel tank should be less than 200 liters. There is still 1,500 liters in the reserve tank.
The Big Fish finished collecting the hooks and then rushed to the south of the sea to continue releasing the hooks.
The selling price of the fish at sea is only half of what it was after returning home. And if you fish with Chen Yuan and the others, you still have to share 30% of the profit.
After all the 160,000 meters of rope are deployed, the distance between the auxiliary boat and the fishing boat will be just over 100,000 meters.
As for transporting valuable fish like bonito across the ocean, you won't make much money unless the quantity is particularly large.
The transport ship contacted this time can run 21 kilometers, and its cruising speed is similar to that of the Big Fish.
Lin Xinhai's proposal to increase money this time was discussed with Chen Yuan and others. Not only did he increase the purchase price of tuna, Lin Xinhai also improved the treatment of the employees on the fishing boat. After the fishing season is over, he will give out a percentage of the profits.
Five as a bonus. The workers on the fishing boat will definitely get more, and the workers on the nanny will get less...
Ocean fishing is very hard, and everyone comes out just to make money and make more money. The most direct and effective way to keep everyone motivated and work hard is to share dividends. The more fish you catch, the more money you will get.
