Chapter 887 Ding Xiaoxiang’s Trick
Zhao Dahai went to the dock and waited for a while. The boat slowly stopped at the dock of the village. The wind and waves are strong now, but the fishing boat rented by Ding Xiaoxiang and Ding Dawen is large and very stable, so there is no need to worry.
Zhao Dahai waited for the fishing boat to stop before going up. Ding Xiaoxiang and Ding Dawen walked out of the cab.
Zhao Dahai greeted Ding Dawen and asked Ding Xiaoxiang if she was seasick when she came back.
Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head. The wind and waves are indeed strong, but she has been on fishing boats since she was a child, and even followed fishing boats to go out to sea to fish, or collect fish, etc., and she has long been accustomed to the shaking of the wind and waves on the sea.
"I'll go and see the fish in the cabin."
Ding Dawen said a few words to Zhao Dahai and turned away.
Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang nodded and didn't stop them. Now they rented someone else's fishing boat, not their own fishing boat. No matter the captain or the people working on the boat, they were not their own people. This trip was not ordinary sea bass but valuable big croaker and mackerel. They must keep an eye on it. Now back at the dock, it was even more so. Ding Dawen did this kind of work on the fishing boat.
"Xiaoxiang."
"Do you want to go home and eat some noodles first?"
"Uncle Shizhu and I have already finished eating!"
Zhao Dahai pointed to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou on the speedboat next to him. They were all smoking and resting, waiting to work later.
Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head and said that she had eaten something on the boat on the way back.
"That's right!"
"The sea!"
"The fish we caught this time are all valuable fish, one is a croaker, the other is a big mackerel, both are good-sized."
"It's estimated to be about 10,000 kilograms."
"My idea is not to sell them all at once."
"There's no need to keep these two fish alive, even if they're frozen, the price won't be affected."
"The other thing is that it looks like this weather will last for several days."
"No matter what kind of fish, the price will go up."
Ding Xiaoxiang was thinking about this when she was coming back just now, looking at the waves on the sea. Her family is in the fish, shrimp and crab business, and she knows the market situation very well. Don't think that this weather change is just a small change, which may only last for two or three days, but the price of fish, shrimp and crab will suddenly rise, at least by 10% to 20%.
If the fish that can be sold at a higher price only when they are kept alive, such as sea bass or grouper, they may be considered for a while, but there is no need to rush to sell croaker or mackerel fresh.
"Ha!"
"Liu Lei will definitely be very depressed when he comes!"
Zhao Dahai nodded without thinking. In the past, he would definitely not do such a thing when he went out to sea to sell fish, saving time, but now Ding Xiaoxiang is handling these things, this must be sold in the way of doing business, how to sell at a higher price, how to make more money.
Liu Lei definitely doesn't want to do this, but he must do it.
"Yo!"
"Why does Cao Cao appear as soon as you mention it!"
Zhao Dahai pointed to the road leading to the dock, and a large seafood truck was coming. There was no need to look at it. Only Liu Lei would appear here at this time. The seafood truck drove to the dock and stopped in front of the ship.
Liu Lei pushed open the car door and saw Zhao Dahai, Ding Xiaoxiang, and Zhong Shizhu standing on the deck. He shouted and greeted them, then ran to the other side of the car and opened the door. Yang Qin got out.
Liu Lei and Yang Qin got on the fishing boat immediately.
"Brother Dahai! Sister Xiaoxiang!"
Liu Lei greeted them again.
"Hey!"
"Ding Xiaoxiang."
"Why do I always feel that you are up to something?"
Yang Qin looked at Ding Xiaoxiang and felt that something was wrong. Seeing that Ding Xiaoxiang was staring at her when she got on the fishing boat, she was a good friend for many years and knew Ding Xiaoxiang very well. It was definitely not a good thing to notice her all of a sudden.
"Yang Qin."
"What do you mean by that?"
"What can I do? I can't sell you out, can I?"
"If I really do that, Liu Lei, the fat guy, will have trouble with me?"
Ding Xiaoxiang pointed at Liu Lei.
"Oh!"
"Sister Xiaoxiang!"
"You can't do such a thing, otherwise I won't be able to marry a wife!"
Liu Lei shook his head.
"No!"
"There must be something wrong!"
Yang Qin ignored what Liu Lei said and stared at Ding Xiaoxiang.
"Hey!"
"Zhao Dahai."
"What kind of fish did you catch this time?"
Yang Qin thought about it and felt that this matter must be related to the fish she caught, so she turned her head to look at Zhao Dahai.
Zhao Dahai smiled and told Yang Qin that he caught big horse fish and big croakers this time, all of which were about 30 kilograms, and the smallest one was 20 kilograms.
"Ah!"
"I thought about what this was about!"
"Ding Xiaoxiang!"
"Are you planning to sell only part of the fish you caught this time!"
"Humph!"
"That must be the case!"
Yang Qin looked at Ding Xiaoxiang with gritted teeth.
This is 100% the case. One is that the croaker or mackerel caught by Zhao Dahai does not need to be sold fresh. More importantly, the weather is bad now and may get worse in the future. No matter how long it lasts, whether it is three or two days or five or six days, the number of fishing boats going out to sea will definitely decrease significantly, and the prices of fish, shrimps and crabs will rise all of a sudden.
"Oh!"
"Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang."
"You are not really doing such a thing, are you?"
Liu Lei was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly. There is no need to ask this question. Yang Qin is right. Ding Xiaoxiang is 100% thinking this way.
Ding Xiaoxiang has already said that the fish caught by Zhao Dahai in the future, including those big groupers that are kept alive, will not be sold all at once.
Now the fish caught are croaker and mackerel, which can be put in the refrigerator for a period of time and can be sold at the same price or even higher. Ding Xiaoxiang is sure that society does this.
"The total amount of croaker and mackerel caught by Zhao Dahai this time is almost 10,000 jin."
"You can't sell so many fish at once, what are you going to do with them? It's better to keep them in my hands."
"This is a big fishing boat now, and the cold storage is very large."
"You can store a lot of fish. When you need fish, you can come here to get them, right?"
Ding Xiaoxiang nodded, and she was going to do it.
"Hey!"
"Ding Xiaoxiang."
"It's obvious that you want to make more money. Why do you think about us when you say that?"
"You don't need to worry about it. We will take all the 10,000 jin of fish today. I have plenty of places to store these fish."
Yang Qin looked at Ding Xiaoxiang, her best friend who grew up with her, a little depressed.
Hongyun Restaurant definitely couldn't sell 10,000 jin of croaker and mackerel at once.
Hongyun Restaurant does not have a cold storage to store so many fish, but you can rent a cold storage from others, and you do have to pay for it. However, compared with the increase in the price of fish, shrimp and crab in the past few days, the rent is much less.
Not to mention that this is a very expensive croaker or mackerel. Not to mention a 20% increase, even a 5% increase is not a small amount of money.
"Three thousand kilograms!"
"It's useless to say anything. You can only take away three thousand kilograms of fish today!"
Ding Xiaoxiang ignored what Yang Qin said and raised three fingers directly.
"Oh!"
"Ding Xiaoxiang."
"You are crazy about money, right?"
"You can only let me take away 3,000 kilograms of 10,000 kilograms of fish today?"
"A 30-kilogram headfish or mackerel will cost several hundred yuan per kilogram, at least 300 yuan, 500-600 yuan or even 700-800 yuan."
"Not to mention the price, a kilogram of fish will increase by at least 10% in two days."
"If I keep 7,000 kilograms of fish, I can make an extra 200,000 yuan a day."
"That's still based on the lowest price. If it's 500-600 yuan or even 700-800 yuan, if the increase is 20%."
"You can make more money!"
"Ding Xiaoxiang."
"This is really a good calculation!"
Yang Qin looked at Ding Xiaoxiang with gritted teeth.
"Three thousand catties is not a catty more, not an ounce less, and this is for you and Boss Wu Weimin."
"How you divide it is your business."
"One thousand five hundred catties each, enough for you two to buy for two days!"
"Come here to buy fish in two days, I will sell it to you at the market price."
Ding Xiaoxiang ignored her, Yang Qin was so anxious that she jumped up and down.
Yang Qin can do the accounting, and she can do the accounting as well. It is indeed the case. She has no reason to sell less and make less money. Even if Yang Qin is her best friend who grew up with her, and even if Zhao Dahai and Liu Lei have a good relationship, she still has to make the money she should make.
"Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang."
"Three thousand kilograms of fish, and it's shared by me and Boss Wu Weimin. This is really not enough."
"The fish caught by Brother Dahai are now very popular in Hongyun Restaurant and Boss Wu Weiming's private restaurant."
"Five thousand kilograms of fish."
"With so many fish, it's enough for Boss Wu and I to sell for two days."
"Wait until these fish are sold in two days, and then come here to get more fish."
Liu Lei was mentally prepared. It was very normal for Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang to do this. Any fish seller would do this. It's just that Zhao Dahai caught more fish, and they were all valuable goods. If he held them in his hands, he would definitely make more money.
No matter how good the relationship between him and Yang Qin and Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang was, everyone still had to make the money they should make. Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang couldn't lower the price and sell them to him so that he could make more money.
There is no such reason in this world.
Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang sold at a high price, and the price I got was high, but the price I sold in the restaurant would definitely be higher, all based on the market price.
From this point of view, I didn't suffer any loss.
"Four thousand catties."
"It's absolutely impossible to have more!"
Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head. Liu Lei, Yang Qin and Wu Weimin all wanted to have more fish, but it was absolutely impossible for me to really sell five thousand catties.
"Okay!"
"Four thousand catties is one thousand catties!"
"Two thousand catties of horsetail fish and two thousand catties of catfish."
Liu Lei nodded. He knew that four thousand kilograms was already a lot. Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai would never have bought so many fish at once if they had not looked out for themselves or Yang Qin. Compared with the price increase of just one thousand kilograms of fish in two days, Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang made tens of thousands less.
Zhao Dahai yelled at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou on the speedboat next to him, pointed to the seafood cart, and said that the anchovy and the horse fish were two thousand catties each.
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou took several puffs, finished the cigarettes in their hands, and immediately started working.
There were a lot of catfish left on the speedboat, plus the horsetail fish we just caught. Each weighed almost two thousand kilograms, and they were put into baskets one after another, carried to the pier and loaded onto the seafood truck.
"Brother Dahai!"
"I wonder if you've stabbed the owl's lair!?"
"Are there any good places like this on artificial islands? How can we get so many dolphins of this size?"
Liu Lei stood next to the seafood cart and looked at the 20 to 30-pound catfish one after another in the basket. For a deep-sea fishing boat, it is not surprising to catch such a catfish, but Zhao Dahai does not go to the deep sea. And just fishing in the open sea, don't look at only twenty or thirty kilograms. This is incomparable with the 180 kilograms of catfish that Zhao Dahai caught when he went to the deep sea, but being able to catch so many in such a place is already is very amazing.
"In a place like the artificial island reef, it is really possible to catch all kinds of fish. I estimate that we can find other places where we can catch so many owl."
Zhao Dahai explained how he came up with the location where he caught so many dolphins this time.
Liu Lei was a little dumbfounded after hearing this. He didn't expect that Zhao Dahai caught so many fish and made so much money on this trip. He actually saw other speedboats fishing there, and they waited until dark before he had to leave. , just occupied a spot, and ended up catching so many fish.
"Brother Dahai!"
"If you go to artificial islands next time, will you go fishing there again?"
Liu Lei was a little curious whether Zhao Dahai would go to that place to continue fishing for squid the next time he went to the artificial island.
"Does this need to be said? I must go there to fish!"
"Although these 30-kilogram eelfish cannot be compared with the 180-jin big eelfish, the price is really quite good. It is not even worse than the green grouper of the same size. can be sold at a higher price.”
"In terms of difficulty, it will be easier to catch these squid, which is much easier than the big grouper!"
"If we go to the artificial islands next, we will definitely have to go to this place to catch dolphins, but I estimate that if we keep fishing like this, it won't take long to catch almost all the dolphins at that point!"
Zhao Dahai's idea is very simple. Not only does he know about the big owl, but other speedboats also know it. In the next period of time, whenever he goes to sea or goes to artificial islands, he must go to that place to catch owl. For fish, I will only go fishing for other fish when I don’t catch many anchovies.
"ha!"
"That's right!"
"You must catch all the dolphins at that spot before you go anywhere else!"
Liu Lei suddenly laughed, he had to do this. If Zhao Dahai didn't catch these fish, others would have caught them. If Zhao Dahai caught them, he could still buy them, but if others caught them, he wouldn't be able to buy them. So, Reasonable and reasonable, I support Zhao Dahai in doing this.
