Chapter 242 Entrepreneurship

Hakodate is at the southern end of Hokkaido, very southern, but still in Hokkaido;

Many tourists who come to Hokkaido for the first time are accustomed to making it the last stop of their journey. It takes 4 hours to take a train from Sapporo to Hakodate. The scenery along the way is quite good, and the second half is along the coastline;

You will pass Lake Toya on the way, which is also a popular spot for tourists.

As a port city, it opened to trade relatively early, so the whole city has a strong foreign flavor, making it less like a neon town and more like a Western port;

Numerous Western-style churches and European-style architectural styles retain the scene from the prosperous trade period of the last century.

The most famous thing about Hakodate is its night view. The night view of Mt. Hakodate is one of the three most famous night views in the world and is also known as the "million night views".

It is said that the cost of creating a night scene is one million US dollars per night, hence the name.

However, Gao Bin and the others did not come to Hakodate just to see the million-dollar night view. A proper light show is enough. Watching it too many times will easily make you tired.

After arriving in Hakodate, Gao Bin took Luo Zijun straight to the seafood market.

The morning market is the market in the morning, which is a bit painful for people who are not used to getting up early, because it is gone by noon. After all, the freshest seafood products are only available in the morning.

But getting up early is nothing to Gao Bin. In order to stock up on top-quality ingredients, he can survive even if he doesn't sleep for several days!

What you see most in the market are all kinds of red crab legs, fish, and shrimps. You can cook them on site or buy them and have them delivered to your home. Of course, except for mainland China, don’t ask why.

Gao Bin ordered a piece of sea urchin rice and Luo Zijun ordered seafood ramen. The two of them sat at the outside of the stall. In the bustling market and the bustle of people, the food seemed to be particularly delicious.

Gao Bin lost weight, but Luo Zijun gained weight. She never thought that she could gain weight when she was so tired.

However, following Gao Bin around during these days, my life became particularly fulfilling.

The most important thing is that she feels that her experience is growing, and she has seen how top-quality ingredients that could only be seen in high-end restaurants before make their way to the dining table step by step.

Because of this, she had a deep admiration for Gao Bin. In her opinion, there was nothing Gao Bin didn't understand.

After eating, the two of them walked in the market. Gao Bin stopped from time to time to communicate with the stall owners, but he did not spend money to buy anything.

Luo Zijun couldn't help but ask:

"What are you doing?"

"It's market research. The seafood market here is closest to the origin of the ingredients, so the prices here are also first-hand.

I must always keep track of the price changes of each seafood, and set the selling and buying prices based on these prices to ensure that I will not lose money because of confusion!"

Luo Zijun nodded:

"I don't dare not know. I used to think that your job was very easy, you could eat and drink, and you could travel around the world. Don't be too envious. Now that I think about it, I was so naive."

Gao Bin chuckled:

"If you can realize this, it means you are growing up."

At this time, the phone rang. It was a satellite phone. He quickly picked it up and connected it. After chattering, he put down the phone, picked up Luo Zijun and ran out.

"What's wrong?"

"The ship will arrive at the port in four hours. We must get to Aomori!"

Aomori Prefecture, the northernmost tip of Honshu Island.

Friends who are familiar with "Little Dream Helps" must know the famous saying: Below Hokkaido is Aomori!

Yes, Aomori Prefecture faces Hakodate in Hokkaido across the Tsugaru Strait to the north, with a straight-line distance of 327 kilometers.

If you take the Shinkansen through the Seikan Undersea Tunnel, it takes less than 2 hours, which is very convenient;

Of course, you can also take the ferry, which takes about 4 hours.

You must know that before the construction of the undersea tunnel, ferries were the most important mode of transportation for locals to travel between Hokkaido and Honshu Island.

The ferry, which was no longer busy in the past, is now quietly moored in Hakodate Port, looking even more peaceful under the rising sun.

People who don’t know always think that Hokkaido is the place with the largest amount of neon fishing, but this is not the case.

Hokkaido is so famous that many things will unconsciously rely on Hokkaido.

But in fact, Aomori is Nanbaman!

Aomori Prefecture, like Hokkaido, faces the Pacific Ocean to the east and the Neon Sea to the west, but has a milder climate;

Aomori ranks first in the catch of flounder and squid, and ranks second in the production of large scallops. Compared with its famous neighbor, Aomori is more affordable and affordable.

It’s a must to come to Aomori to eat seafood, but the most important thing right now is to get the fish.

After arriving in Aomori, Gao Bin took a taxi and headed straight to the fishing village in the northwest corner. The time was just right. When they arrived, a small fishing boat had just entered the port.

Gao Bin found a big rock and stood on it to look out. He was sure it was the ship he was waiting for, and then he pulled Luo Zijun and ran over.

"Uncle Miyamoto."

"Gao, long time no see."

The uncle captain stood at the bow of the ship, with his hands behind his back, looking like a gentleman reclusive in a fishing village.

"Yeah, how is it? The harvest is not small, right?"

Gao Bin heard from the phone that Miyamoto was in a good mood, and judged that the harvest this time was not small.

"Haha, it's really good. It's 180 kilograms. How about it? Can you eat it yourself?"

"Are you looking down on me? Except for the king fish weighing more than 700 kilograms, I can't eat it. I can eat two fish weighing about 300 kilograms."

"You kid, should I send it out for you? Or should you go there yourself?"

"Old rules, please help me send it, I will arrange the payment here."

"Okay."

After a few words, the deal was settled, Luo Zijun was suspicious:

"You don't seem to have negotiated the price."

She doesn't understand Japanese, but she can make some guesses.

"No need to talk. Uncle Miyamoto and I are old friends. We have cooperated for many years. He catches three or four tuna every year. I want to eat at least one of them. The price has been negotiated long ago."

"So how much is it?"

"180 kilograms, 900,000."

"What? Soft sister coins?"

"Of course, is it Japanese yen?"

Gao Bin was speechless.

"So expensive?"

"What do you think? I'll take you to Tsukiji when I get the chance. Bluefin tuna worth millions are everywhere."

"Then isn't this uncle making a lot of money?"

"That's not true. Moreover, he contacts customers to purchase by himself and does not need to share with Tsukiji Market. Even though he is not amazing in appearance, his net worth is as good as the congratulatory letter!"

Luo Zijun gasped as she listened. Soon, she saw a large fish nearly 2 meters long being pulled out of the cold storage by a crane on the boat. The box was then sealed directly, pulled away by a special trailer, and headed straight to the airport!

Gao Bin contacted the account manager of Neon Bank to arrange the payment, and when Uncle Miyamoto confirmed that the money had arrived, the transaction was completed.

"Let's go home with me and treat you to dinner."

Every time Gao Bin comes over, Uncle Miyamoto will serve a sumptuous seafood dinner to thank Gao Bin for taking care of his business.

Gao Bin would not refuse every time and would eat a big meal before leaving.

But this time he declined. Since Luo Zijun had never been to Aomori, he naturally wanted to take her around before embarking on the return flight.

Tonight, they will eat bluefin tuna at Lao Zhuo's restaurant.

I took Luo Zijun to the Furukawa Fish and Vegetable Market, which opens from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

After entering, you need to buy meal tickets first, 5 tickets for 650 yen.

Then tear up a ticket and get a bowl of rice, and then you can choose your favorite seafood.

The market is actually not big, and the products at each stall are duplicated, but they are all fresh and priced at the same price. Which one you choose depends entirely on your eyesight.

Abalone, snow crab, sea urchin and so on have been eaten a lot lately, so Gao Bin chose grilled scallops.

The grilled scallops are juicy and delicious.

Gao Bin had a great time eating, and Luo Zijun was also unequivocal, finishing three large scallops by himself.

After that, I ate all kinds of seafood such as conches and clams. Five meal tickets were not enough, so I went to buy another five. My belly was full, and I sat on the train to the airport with satisfaction.

At 6:30 p.m., after get off work, I met He Han, Tang Jing and the others at Lao Zhuo's shop.

However, as soon as these two people met, Gao Bin felt like he was sorting out.

"What's going on with you two? Are you at odds?"
