Han Peacock said with a smile: "Each one is no less than three hundred pounds. With such a size, Mr. Koizumi is satisfied, right?"
"Is there any top quality? Since you can catch bluefin tuna, can you handle it? You must know that if it is not handled well, the quality of the fish will be damaged, and the price will not be worth it." Koizumi Koji became even more nervous. If this cannot be handled,
Well, he is happy in vain.
"If there are any good ones, just transport them out and see." Han Peacock pointed to a boat near the coast.
This one is a professional transport ship that specializes in storing and transporting catches caught by fishing boats.
When the fishing boat docked, Koizumi Koji had already arranged for people to check the bluefin tuna brought into the port.
The staff on the transport ship were much better than Han Peacock. They used the crane very skillfully, and it took only a few minutes to lift out a big fish.
"It's so big!" As soon as the fish came out, it immediately caused a commotion on the pier.
Although this is also a fishing pier, Hella is too small, and even East Timor does not have a large fishing port, so they have never seen fish that are too big.
Now I suddenly saw such a piece, and everyone was amazed.
This fish was so huge that even the Korean peacock let out an exclamation.
"How big is this fish?" Han Peacock looked closely and found that the fish was bigger than he imagined.
"More than a thousand kilograms, a little over five hundred kilograms." the staff member replied.
What is the concept of bluefin tuna weighing more than 500 kilograms?
This can be seen from Koizumi Koji's performance. At this time, Koizumi Koji's face was red, and his voice even trembled a bit when he spoke.
"Be careful, be careful. Bluefin tuna is the most delicate. You must not touch it. You, I am talking about you, be careful. If you hurt the skin of this fish, you all will get out of here."
Seeing Koizumi Koji warning the workers endlessly, Han Kongque shook his head. It seemed that the matter was settled this time.
"Boss, there are some other types of tuna in the cold storage."
"Other types?" Han Peacock asked.
The staff member said: "Bigeye tuna, long-term tuna and yellowfin tuna."
"A lot?" Han Kongque said thoughtfully.
"Quite a few, more of each than bluefin tuna."
"How's the weight?"
"Each one weighs hundreds of kilograms."
"Okay, I understand." Han Kongque waved his hand and asked the staff to go about their work, while he walked towards Koizumi Koji.
"Is it necessary to be so careful?" Han Peacock pulled Koizumi Koji and asked.
"Mr. Han? Uh! There's nothing wrong with being careful. After all, it's a valuable thing. We'd better be careful." Koizumi Koji said.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Koizumi knows tuna very well."
"That's natural." Koizumi Koji said proudly.
Seeing that Han Peacock's expression did not change, Koizumi Koji thought that Han Peacock didn't believe it. He continued: "Bluefin tuna is one of the fastest fishes in the world. The big one is like this one, weighing more than 500 kilograms.
Other varieties also weigh from tens to hundreds of kilograms.
Their swimming speed reaches an average of 60-80 kilometers. They breathe by sea water passing through their gills, so they must keep swimming. If they stop, they will suffocate to death, so you don't think they are fast, but they are very fragile.
These tuna live in the deep sea, and their skin is also very fragile. If anything comes into contact with them, their lives will be in danger. It is also because of these characteristics that tuna has a serious commercialization problem. It is difficult to produce it at low cost.
Large-scale farming makes bluefin tuna very expensive."
Han Kongque said: "I heard that in your country, bluefin tuna farming has been very successful in recent years? Will this affect the price of bluefin tuna?"
Koizumi Koji said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Mr. Han, your batch of bluefin tuna will definitely be sold at a high price. Even if our country can breed it, the price will not come down in a while."
To breed rare tuna, first of all, the water must be deep. Tuna is a deep-sea fish and cannot survive diving. Secondly, the water area must be large. You must be large enough to allow it to swim continuously, otherwise it will suffocate to death.
Think about it, a bluefin tuna like this is a big fat man, and it is so fast. To use an inappropriate metaphor, it is like an animal bigger than a bear, driving a car at a high speed.
If it runs around, how large an area and depth is needed to accommodate it?
Finally, the water environment must be suitable and the depth must be suitable, otherwise it is easy to get skin diseases and die. Therefore, it is generally not available in aquariums. There are fish farms, but the current tuna farming is based on small fish caught from the sea.
It is not possible to start farming from fish eggs because the growth cycle is longer.
Therefore, the cost of raising tuna, the ancestor of tuna, is really high. In a sense, raising wild fry is not much different from wild fishing. If you add in the food they eat, the cost is even higher.
Therefore, most tuna is wild-caught, and tuna is not only a delicacy in Japan, but also in the world. Therefore, the indiscriminate killing of tuna is very serious around the world. The more so-called top-grade tuna, the rarer the number.
It is difficult to measure the market value of this kind of rare fish, and the supply is seriously lower than the demand, so the better tuna is generally auctioned. Mr. Han should also know the bluefin tuna market, so I won’t lie to you.
The Tsukiji Market in Tokyo is the most famous tuna auction place. It has existed since the Edo period. After a series of standardization, it has now become a tourist attraction. Foreign tourists can also watch the auction process at the market for a limited time.
The emergence of bluefin tuna that often exceeds historical records will cause major sushi restaurants and companies to compete for auctions, and some companies are even willing to buy it at a high price and then sell it at a loss for the sake of publicity.
For example, in 2013, the most expensive transaction at Tokyo’s Tsukiji Market was a 222-kilogram tuna auctioned for US$1.76 million, and a kilogram of fish meat was sold for US$7,200. And for this one, I think Mr. Han should know that the price is definitely not low.”
Looking at the smiling Koizumi Koji, although this guy was chatting with Han Peacock, he did not delay his work. He had just checked the quality of the fish's meat from the tail blade of the giant bluefin tuna.
Looking at his look, you can tell that he is very satisfied, and Koizumi Koji is also a smart man, and he did not hide this at all, because he knew that he could not hide it.
"This is the top bluefin tuna, and it can definitely be auctioned. If it is auctioned, it would not be unusual to sell it for a sky-high price, so I will pay US$3.5 million for this one, which is double the price of the one three years ago.
"Koizumi Koji said to Han Peacock very sincerely.
"No problem, this is enough for 3.5 million US dollars." Han Peacock nodded with satisfaction.
Koizumi Koji continued: "As long as there is tuna of this quality, we will pay a high price according to the quality. Mr. Han can be completely assured of this."
Han Peacock nodded, but he still said: "Can other tuna be used?"
"Other tuna? Mr. Han means other types of tuna, right?" Koizumi Koji was stunned.
However, he responded quickly: "Other tuna is a minor problem. If Mr. Han has it on his boat, it can be handled by our company. Even if there are other types of seafood, we can help you handle it. This will save money."
You shipped it back to mainland China for sale.
Don’t worry, Mr. Han, we will buy it at the sales price, which is considered free help. After all, Mr. Han has already taken good care of our company, and now our help is nothing.”
What was hoisted up this time was no longer a bluefin tuna, but a big-eye tuna. However, it was not small. Although it was not as big as the bluefin tuna just now, it was not much smaller.
"It looks pretty big. This harvest is really good. How many kilograms does this one weigh?" Han Peacock asked loudly.
"At four hundred and twenty kilograms, it is the largest bigeye tuna."
"Haha, it's really not small." Han Peacock said happily.
Now that I think about it, it is normal to have such a harvest. After all, there are three giant ships including the Shenlong following us.
You must know that there are large groups of simulated fish around these three ships. With these countless monitors, the people on the ship can clearly see anything under the sea, so as long as valuable seafood is found,
No one can escape the pursuit of this fleet.
"This is big-eye tuna. As long as the quality is good, our company will definitely pay a high price. However, Mr. Han should be mentally prepared. Compared with bluefin tuna, the price of big-eye tuna is much lower." Koizumi Koji was a little worried.
Tuna prices are completely different.
Han Kongque said: "It's okay, I know this kind of tuna can't be sold at a high price, but how are the prices of other types of tuna calculated?"
Koizumi Koji said: "Tuna are basically deep-sea fish. In order of their high level, the first is black tuna and bluefin tuna, the second is southern tuna, the third is big eye tuna, and the fourth is yellowfin tuna.
, and finally albacore tuna.”
Watching Koizumi Koji checking the quality of the tuna one by one, Han Peacock was a little impressed. Apart from anything else, Koizumi's work attitude is still very good.
"Mr. Koizumi, which part of tuna is the best?" Anyway, it was idle time, and Han Kongque wanted to take this opportunity to learn some knowledge.
I heard that the quality of tuna in the United States is better, and Han Peacock will go to the United States in the near future. Naturally, I have to find ways to learn more about it, so that I can make more money in the United States.
Only by making more money can we support more people, and in countries like the United States, as long as it can bring them some jobs, it is the Buddha they need to support.
Han Peacock doesn’t want to wrong himself in the United States, so it’s not too late to start planning now. (To be continued.)
