1033. Daqin Seafood Health Products
With the advent of ocean development fever, seafood plays an increasingly important role in human life, mining equipment is becoming more and more advanced, and technology is getting better and better.
Qin Shiou walked around the exhibition area and learned a lot. Most of the things he saw were practical, such as a new type of fishing net made of nanometer and fiber technology. Grinding, a set of fishing nets can be used for more than two years.
However, this kind of fishing net has a disadvantage, that is, it cannot be repaired.
Repairing fishing nets is an important job in fishermen's daily life. After a set of nets is put into the sea, most of them will have large or small holes in a short time. This requires repairing and continuing to use. Even if Qin Shiou is such a rich man, he can't do it When the fishing net is broken, throw it away and replace it with a new one.
A set of this new type of fishing net costs more than 50,000 Canadian dollars. It may pay back in two years, but if something goes wrong, it can only be thrown away, which is a bit too wasteful.
But it can’t be repaired without throwing it away. The materials used in the new fishing net are too advanced, and the fishermen can’t handle it by themselves.
In addition, the LSN Marine Development Group in the United States invented another fishing net called "memory metal fishing net". When fishermen go fishing, the most tedious work is not to catch or divide the fish, but to pack the fishing net.
Fishing nets are easy to get tangled together, so after each use, they have to be carefully combed, which is a very laborious job. Especially the fishermen are mostly big-bodied and short-tempered. This kind of meticulous work is the most grueling.
And this kind of memory metal fishing net uses aerospace technology. The main body of the fishing net is a kind of memory metal with aluminum as the main body. It only needs to be folded every time it is collected, and it is sprinkled into the water when it is used. After a certain period of time, the fishing net will unravel by itself without getting tangled.
Behind the booth of lsn ocean development group is a led super display screen, on which the practical video of this kind of fishing net is constantly played, which looks quite sci-fi and attracts many people to watch.
Qin Shiou went up to watch the meeting. Said to Bird: "This kind of fishing net seems to be good, doesn't it?"
Bird pondered for a while and said: "It can indeed reduce our work. The net wires will not be entangled together, which can also protect the fishing net to a large extent. However, the fishing net will be damaged anyway. What should I do if it breaks?"
A salesman of the lsn group heard the discussion between the two and said: "In fact, our product is mainly aimed at North American customers. If it is in Mexico, the United States or Canada, the damaged fishing net can be returned to our company by express. Our workers Come fix it."
Qin Shiou looked at the price. A set of fishing nets cost 15,000 euros, and at least four sets of fishing nets must be prepared for going to sea.
Two sets for direct use and two sets for spares cost 60,000 euros, while ordinary fishing nets only cost one-fifth of the price.
But he feels that the value of this kind of fishing net is greater than the price, and that deep-sea fishing is more mental torture to fishermen than sex, because life at sea is too boring. Moreover, fishermen do not have enough rest time, so they are easily tired and sleepy. Doing meticulous work especially tortures patience and spirit.
Use this fishing net. At least fishermen like Shaq and Bull don’t have to wait patiently to pack their nets after each catch, and they can just rest. This virtuous circle can increase the frequency of fishing.
Thinking about it this way, Qin Shiou signed an order for four pairs of fishing nets, and the manufacturer sent them directly to his fishing ground.
Another key product at the expo is fishing rods, fishing lines and hooks. There are fishing rods and lines of various materials, and Qin Shiou has no demand for them. He probably took a look and left.
Going forward, the location of the equipment and technology exhibition will come to an end. In its place was a booth for marine health products.
Here, conventional health products such as deep-sea fish oil, cod liver oil, sea cucumber powder, pearl powder, oyster juice, etc. have no market here, and the products that come to the exhibition are new products that are relatively rare in the market.
Qin Shiou didn't know much about this industry, but after visiting it, she suddenly became interested. She found that seafood health care products appeared relatively late in the category of health care products, but now they are developing rapidly.
Before he came into contact with these health care products, he thought that he was engaged in a fishing ground to sell seafood, but after visiting the world's most advanced health care product market today, he suddenly thought that he could actually expand the breadth of the Daqin Seafood brand.
In addition to selling seafood, seafood can also be used as seafood health products.
For example, kelp, kelp contains a substance called potassium alginate, which can play a very good role in lowering blood pressure.
Many companies at the exhibition made potassium alginate buccal tablets. Compared with common blood pressure-lowering drugs, potassium alginate is easier to be absorbed by people, and can be quickly decomposed into alginic acid and potassium ions by gastric acid.
Alginic acid can combine with excess sodium ions in the duodenum to form sodium alginate, which is then excreted from the body. In this way, the sodium content in the arteriolar wall decreases, the peripheral vascular resistance decreases, and the blood pressure also decreases.
The price of this kind of potassium alginate buccal tablets is relatively high, and it is the mainstream blood pressure lowering health care product used by the middle class in Europe and the United States. Because it is extracted from food, it is not a drug. Compared with ordinary blood pressure drugs, it is harmful to the human body. Smaller and more accessible.
There is still a large amount of kelp stored in the Daqin Fishing Ground, and it is about to grow kelp again this year. Daqin Seafood alone cannot handle so much kelp. If it can be used to develop health products, it will be great for Qin Shiou.
In addition to kelp, seaweed is also an important raw material for marine health products. The natural health food processed by seaweed through national scientific methods can promote the brain development of fetuses and infants, improve the memory of students, maintain normal visual function, protect eyesight, improve Functions of immunity, protection of heart muscle and liver, prevention of obesity and cardiovascular disease.
Qin Shiou carefully inspected the booth of marine health care products, and found that in the seaweed health care product industry, Japan is very powerful, and most of the related companies have shadows of Japanese companies.
This is normal. The Japanese like to eat seaweed. They have advanced processing technology and are at the forefront of the world in the development of seaweed health products.
According to Qin Shiou’s introduction on the official website of the expo, Japan has more than 4,000 manufacturers of seaweed health products, and there are more than 200 related products, which is more than other Asian countries combined.
The seaweed health food at the exhibition mainly focuses on weight loss supplementary products, nourishing products, vitamin products and related beverages, such as seaweed nourishing extract, kelp tablets, seaweed granules, vitamin seaweed powder, hijiki related products and the like.
Other seafood such as oysters, clams, mussels, conchs, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, jellyfish, various fish, shrimps and crabs can be used to develop health care products, which have a comprehensive protective effect on the human body, from hair to nails, from From bones to viscera, and so on.
At first, Qin Shiou's insight and knowledge could cope with the products he saw, but the more he looked, the narrower his insight and knowledge became. He had never seen many things at all, let alone the principle of the health products made. (to be continued)
