Chapter 108: Naeba
"Hi, Edward, here." This area is not the site of a fish fry wholesaler, but more than 90% of fish fry wholesalers in Boston are concentrated. Edward has spent most of his life dealing with sea boats. Of course, he is very familiar with this place. Before he came, he had already made a phone call to contact the good people, so after driving in, he ignored the people waving and asking, but drove straight in. After driving for about three minutes, a big black man appeared in front of Jiang Hai's f750, and waved his hand to Edward with a happy face.
And Edward's steering wheel turned and stopped in front of him. As the two opened the car door and jumped down, Edward and the big man over there couldn't help but hugged, showing full affection.
"Boss, let me introduce you. This is Iron Bull, Porter-Anneva, my good brother who died. We went out to sea together on a fishing boat to catch sperm whales. He is the largest private fish fry wholesaler here. Alright, Tieniu, this is my current boss, from the mysterious East, Jiang Hai, Mr. Jiang.” After hugging the big black man, Edward introduced to the two excitedly, hearing Edward's introduction, this big man named Porter-Anneva stretched his hand over first.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, just call me Tieniu." After shaking hands with him, Jiang Hai also nodded with a light smile.
And Jiang Hai is also looking at this guy. He is more than 1.90 meters tall, has a big bald head, and a black shiny skin. Although it is winter, he doesn't wear too much. That huge guy, look It makes people feel intimidated. It's really good to be called Tieniu. Edward has probably told Jiang Hai about the origin of this person on the way here.
This black man worked as a crew member in California with Edward, but he was younger than Edward. Later, after the two made money, Edward came back to retire, and he opened a fry company in Boston. .
Maybe because of being black, they were discriminated against at the beginning, but later, with excellent means and the fish fry are really good, they gained a firm foothold here. After all, in a capitalist society, those rich people, What is more concerned is whether you can bring them wealth, not the color of the skin. When racial sentiments and dollar bills conflict, the power of the dollar bill is often greater.
"Although I dare not say that my place is the largest in Massachusetts, I definitely have the most complete variety here. Edward has already told me about your intentions. If you want to choose grass seeds, you need Order the fish first, because different fish eat different baits, and different baits naturally eat different seaweeds." After being polite with Jiang Hai, Tieniu led Jiang Hai and his party away into the room behind him.
"The fish fry here are very complete. I have almost all the fish fry that can be raised here. The few boxes here are Atlantic cod. Although you are not going to raise this kind of fish, I still say that this kind of fish is actually the only fish. It is the best way to make money, and it is almost guaranteed to make money without losing money..." Walking into the grid area behind him, Tieniu introduced it to Jiang Hai as he walked.
The price of cod fry here is really not expensive, about thirteen cents per fish, based on the fact that one adult fish can be sold for one dollar and seventy-five cents, which is almost ten times the income, deducting labor costs, There is also bait money. If you raise one fish for a year, you can make a net profit of about 90 cents. One million fish is 900,000 U.S. dollars, and 10 million fish is 9 million U.S. dollars. Raising this fish is indeed It is possible to make a steady profit without losing money, but in Jiang Hai's view, the structure is too small and not suitable for his development.
"This is herring, a fish species that can be nested with cod, but it doesn't grow too big. It's like a gift from Santa Claus. It's a surprise to have any." After walking through the most cod ponds, we arrived at some ponds below. The herring fry inside are smaller than those of cod. After all, the fish itself is not too big, and the largest is about 30 centimeters. Unlike cod, it can live for a long time and grow big. This kind of fish is basically It is matched with cod. When raising cod, some herring will be raised. The economic value of this kind of fish is similar to that of cod. It can be sold for money, and it can also be used as rations for large cod. It has many uses. Of course, the most important thing is that it is also sales Big, there is no need to worry about sales.
The price of this kind of fish is 8 cents per fish. After all, it still has the function of rations, so it is not too expensive.
"This is the pond for Maine lobsters, and this is the pond for king crabs. I specially imported them from the Asian island country, but it's not very easy to raise. These are bamboo shrimps. They came with this kind of crabs. Yes, although the taste is good, I heard that the price is also good, but the same, it is not very easy to raise, here are oysters, I have almost all the oysters in the world here, these are Galway oysters, produced in Ireland, this It is the emperor of oysters, Ghidorah oysters, this kind of top-quality oysters, if they grow well, they can be sold for 20 dollars in western restaurants. I heard that they will charge around 10 dollars. Damn western restaurant..." After walking through the cod and herring territory, a crustacean seine appeared in front of Jiang Hai, and the things in these seines made Jiang Hai's eyes shine. Maine Needless to say, lobster is a representative species in Maine and Boston.
Although the local selling price is not high, Jiang Hai has always wanted to raise them, but these days, he has not dived into the water, so Jiang Hai is not sure whether his site is suitable for raising these things. If so, he will No matter how you say it, you have to raise a few. Although eating lobsters is despised by others in China, they are said to be nouveau riche, but Jiang Hai is now a nouveau riche, so he wants to eat.
In addition to lobsters, he also saw other valuable things that he investigated, such as emperor crabs. Emperor crabs and king crabs are not the same kind of crabs. King crabs actually refer to pseudo-stone crabs of Kamchatka, which belong to stone crabs The scientific name of the emperor crab is the giant crab, which belongs to the crab family, and it can be easily distinguished from the exoskeleton.
King crabs are spider crabs, killer crabs, the kind with particularly long legs, which look more like spiders than crabs.
The emperor crab is an enlarged crab, very big, quite big.
People in Europe and the United States don’t eat killer crabs, but they like king crabs very much. However, the price of this guy is also very satisfying... The average price of one kilogram is around 100 US dollars. And a full-grown king crab must weigh at least a dozen kilograms, that is to say, a crab will sell for more than a thousand dollars, which is still bought raw, if it is matured in a western restaurant , that is more expensive, and this kind of crab is so expensive in China that the price is ignored, and many seafood restaurants dare not enter it.
I'm afraid that I will die after I enter it, or that no one will order it. After all, a crab costs tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Under the current domestic background, there are no people with two mouths, and other people who can afford it are indeed Not too much.
Although bamboo prawns are not as expensive as spotted prawns, they can be sold for around US$20 per kilogram if grown.
Among the seafood, the price is quite good. Of course, the most expensive shell is the geoduck, which is also available here.
As for the oysters that Europeans and Americans like very much, Jiang Hai is a little confused, because he also eats this stuff in China.
But this game should be very cheap, smaller ones in China, or sold in night markets, it costs only one yuan, two yuan each, he really can't figure it out, what kind of oysters can only be sold for twenty dollars? Robbery?
In addition to these things, there are many other shellfish here, and this is also the fish food that Jiang Hai will buy in the future.
All kinds of clams, meretrix meretrix, and razor clams, Xiao Renxian, well, they are not called by this name in the United States.
But the things are the same, all the way, Jiang Hai is also watching all the way, the things here are indeed very complete, even abalone.
But for abalone, ordinary small abalones are worthless. They are sold in the domestic aquatic product market for tens of yuan a catty, and larger ones are sold in some seaside cities for more than ten yuan a piece.
The real expensive abalones have to be topped. The so-called tops do not mean how many heads grow on the abalone, but how many abalones there are in one catty. The so-called two-headed abalone means that two abalones weigh one catty. Well, the price of this kind of abalone can be imagined. Three-headed abalones are much cheaper than two-headed ones. The ones that cost tens of dollars a catty are estimated to cost more than a dozen heads, and the ones cost more than ten dollars a piece. It is estimated that there are seven or eight heads. Such abalones are worthless.
After passing through these valuable shellfish, we came to the grid box of fish, but obviously, the fish here are much better than cod and herring, and Tieniu also stopped here, giving Jiang Hai introduced.
"This is Atlantic salmon. The price of this kind of fish is good, but I don't recommend you to raise it. This kind of fish will live much better in the south, because it's too cold here. It's a three-year-old. , can be put directly into the sea, but in fact, it needs to be raised for a while. I heard from Edward that there is no source of fresh water in our place, and this kind of fish is not easy to raise... If it is directly stocked, I recommend you. species, grouper, giant grouper and American redfish." Tieniu looked at Jiang Hai and said seriously.
In fact, when it comes to grouper, there are many types, but if it is called grouper, it is tiger grouper, because tiger grouper is a serious grouper, and giant grouper is also called dragon grouper in China, and its price is similar to that of grouper Almost the same, but much larger than the grouper. The last American redfish is also a fish that Jiang Hai cares about after all.
"Giant grouper takes two years to grow. After it grows, it can be sold for about 30 dollars per kilogram. The condition of giant grouper is similar to that of grouper. It can be sold after one year of cultivation, but it only weighs about two kilograms and grows for two years. It can grow to about 15 kilograms, so it basically needs to be raised for two years to sell. The price is about 30 dollars per kilogram, but the survival rate of this kind of fish is very low. They can kill each other, they need to keep feeding, and the cost is very high, the survival rate of fry is not more than 40%, of course I am talking about wild breeding, if it is a net cage, it will be relatively higher." Looking at Jiang Hai, Tieniu slowly introduced, looking at the grid he pointed to, Jiang Hai also hesitated.
