When he arrived at the Pearl River Estuary, Gu Kun was sleeping to recover from his injuries, but his sister, who was the lookout, woke him up by yelling.
In order to prevent the bumps from pulling on the wound, Gu Kun slept in a hammock these days. It was already the fifth day since the operation, so it was healing well.
After waking up, Gu Kun felt a little about his physical condition and felt that he could get up and walk around a little today, so he called his sister to come over and help him go to the deck to breathe fresh air.
"Brother, please slow down." Gu Pan moved very carefully and even gave his brother a cloak, lest he catch cold after the operation.
"What time is it?" Gu Kun took a deep breath of the cool sea breeze and asked.
February in eastern Guangdong is a bit colder than in the Visa Islands, but the temperature is still over ten degrees at night, which is quite comfortable.
"It's four o'clock in the morning." Gu Pan replied seriously.
"How much did we catch on this trip? Have we counted it?" Gu Kun asked about the fish catch situation.
"Totaling it all together, it's about 20 tons. There are four or five tons of dead fish, but they were just dead. The cabin is only half full."
The boat Gu Kun rented could transport more than 100 tons if all the fish were loaded with dead fish. If it was stocked with seawater and running water, it could only transport 30 to 40 tons.
In the three and a half days since leaving the Weisha Islands, Gu Kun was recuperating from his injuries, and even the steering of the ship was left to Long Wu and Chen Li in turns. Gu Kun himself could only occasionally listen to the fish detector, let alone go into the water.
.
Without one of the most important manpower, the number of trawl operations per day had to be limited, otherwise the sailors would simply not be able to withstand the intensity of labor.
Therefore, we have only netted five times in the past few days, and each time we harvested an average of 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms, totaling 7 tons in total, and the proportion of rare fish was not high.
From this perspective, Gu Kun's loss after having his appendix cut this time was quite large - he fished 12 tons in the 4 days before the injury, but only 7 tons in the 4 days after the injury.
Converting these differences into money, it amounts to a loss of at least tens of thousands of dollars. It can only be said that haste makes waste.
However, being able to arrive safely is always a blessing among misfortunes, and there is endless money to be made.
After Gu Kun settled the account in his mind, he asked his sister to help him into the cab.
Long and Chen took turns steering the ship all night, and when they saw the captain coming in, they quickly said hello.
Gu Kun waved his hand to signal them to relax, and then made a wish out of breath: "In the past few days, each of you has to do the work of two people, and you have to take care of my condition. Thank you for your hard work. Each of you will receive a bonus of 1,000 yuan."
.After you get ashore, don’t say anything you shouldn’t.”
"Captain, don't worry." The two of them were not greedy and promised overjoyed.
While steering the wheel, Long Wu pointed at the fishing fires floating on the bay and sighed casually: "Captain, I think the fishermen on the mainland are really hardworking. There are so many boats going out to sea so early. It's only around four o'clock now, right?
, the radio stations I used to listen to all said that Chinese people are lazy people who make a living in a big pot, I really can’t believe it.”
"Haha, that was so many years ago. The Chinese people nowadays are very hard-working to make money." Gu Kun couldn't help but laugh.
Not long after, the first ray of morning light slightly illuminated the sea surface, and the fishing boats were able to see each other's outlines and flags clearly. Although they could see each other before, they mainly saw lights.
Because Gu Kun's boat was flying the flag of Lanfang, some fishermen with good eyesight quickly noticed it. A fishing boat of several dozen tons quickly approached, without asking about the situation, and directly shouted through a loudspeaker.
"Brothers on foreign ships, would you like to argue with us? Our shipowner is very talkative and offers a 50% discount."
The other three people didn't understand, so Gu Pan asked his brother: "Brother, what does refuting mean? What do they want to do?"
Gu Kun shook his head and told Long Wu: "You call back and tell them no, we have a fishing license."
Long Wu followed his instructions, and the other party left cursing, probably cursing the relevant departments for issuing fishing licenses to foreign ships.
Although the man was sent away, Gu Pan still didn't understand the reason, so he caught his brother and asked him to find out.
Gu Kun drank some water, took a breath, and explained: "If a foreign ship comes to the port to sell fish, the customs has an agency that specializes in the storage of fresh and perishable goods. You have to report to it. Then you will actually sell it.
No matter how much you buy, you will pay 13% tariff according to the guide price of the sold part.
The ship just now was targeting us because we were a foreign ship, so it wanted to take the job and ship our fish to his ship at a 50% discount according to the market price. Since it was a domestic ship, there was no import tariff.
Fishing boats all over the world are doing this. After all, you can’t determine which boat caught the seafood, and you can’t control the cargo at sea unless you catch it on the spot. However, since we have temporary
There is no need to do this if you have a license. We must abide by the laws and regulations in all our operations within China."
This thing is the same all over the world, and it doesn't even count as a s.
In the later 21st century, the fish along the coast of China were basically wiped out by the extermination net. Chinese fishing boats were generally getting bigger and bigger, and they went fishing in the ocean. Basically, they caught whatever they went, and then got a 10% discount based on the market price nearby.
If it is transferred to the fishing boats of local countries and then transported back to the home port by the fishing boats of these countries, it is not considered an import.
However, there are also cases where you fish illegally in other countries’ exclusive economic zones. During the barge, the other party wants to take advantage of you to lower the price or even take advantage of you. Then the dispute becomes serious. We often hear that fishing boats have had accidents in foreign countries.
It’s hard to go into details here.
Anyway, this has nothing to do with Gu Kun. He will never do anything illegal in China. He is an international friend.
If you want to make trouble, go to Nanyang to do it and show your authority in foreign lands.
The three of them all felt that they benefited a lot from the captain's explanation. After all, they had never run the business of selling seafood in foreign ports before.
After sailing in the Pearl River Bay for several hours, Gu Kun's ship finally docked in Guangdong Province at around ten o'clock in the morning.
With the captain's clear instructions, the three of them certainly knew what to do and completed all the procedures in an orderly manner.
Before going ashore, Gu Kun specially told Gu Pan: "Little sister, I asked you to sort out the Sumei, Qingyi, Stonefish, Shanlong, and Nanmu species in advance. Have you done it?"
"It's been done a long time ago." Gu Pan replied carefully.
"When the customs fresh food depositor comes later, remember to declare taxes at the flat price. For other fish, we just need to show the temporary fishing license." Gu Kun ordered in a very law-abiding manner.
Because types such as Sumei and Tsing Yi are specialties from the Java Sea, Sulu Sea, and Sulawesi Sea. In the South China Sea, there may only be a small amount distributed in the waters south of the Shosa Islands.
Therefore, Gu Kun also took the initiative to declare tariffs on these fish species as imported fresh food, admitting that these fish were not caught in the South China Sea. In this way, he could not be more innocent.
As for the base price for tax declaration, it is based on the industry average price previously calculated by the customs and a 40% discount. For example, if the average price of Australian lobster in this city is 100 yuan per catty, then the customs tax calculation will be based on a 40% discount.
60 yuan per catty, multiplied by the 13% tax rate. Even if your Aolong is extremely high-quality and can be sold for 300 yuan per catty, it has nothing to do with customs. This is a legal operation.
Generally, when importing other bulk commodities, it is required that the tax-declared price should not be lower than 20% off the base price. The reason why fresh food is relaxed to 40% off is because it is necessary to consider that the owner of the goods may spoil before they have time to sell out, so they must be sold at a discount and depreciated.
, so the tax calculation base should also be lower.
After some operations, Gu Pan, Long Wu and other guys who had never been abroad were almost stunned. Fortunately, Gu Kun's guidance prevented any mistakes.
"The boss is really experienced. Could it be that he has secretly traveled abroad several times before?" Long Wu and Chen Li couldn't believe that Gu Kun was a novice.
