Chapter 116 The heart of a businessman (fifth update please order)
Zhao Dahai held a bucket of fish in one hand and strode into the yard. The fish weighed about 40 kilograms plus sea water. Ten kilograms was too much to fit in one bucket. I poured it all into the pond built yesterday. I turned on the water pump and oxygen. Most of the fish started to swim. There were seven or eight dead fish. I took them out with a small net and put one in there. I put some ice in a smaller foam box and poured a bucket of ice into the pool. The colder water temperature is better for raising fish. I caught a lot of fish today, so the big pool is just in use.
Zhao Dahai took a bath and changed his clothes. Grandma Zhong Cuihua prepared dinner. There was no table set, each person had a bowl with rice and vegetables in it. He walked out of the courtyard door and ate in the sea breeze. Stuttering.
Zhao Dahai is in a very good mood. One is that I caught a lot of fish today, and the other is to figure out how to read the flowing water.
The topography of the seabed near Langtou Village has its own mind. It does not matter if the sea water rises and the tide submerges these places. You can infer the location and direction of the flowing water and find the place where you are most likely to catch fish. It is not easy to make a fortune, but it is not too difficult to feed a family and fill your stomach.
Zhao Dahai put the rice in his mouth and looked at the sandworms drying on the dustpan. The sandworms dug up on the first day had been dried and put away. The ones he saw now were from the second and third days. He pinched them with his hands. One click, just right.
Zhong Cuihua told Zhao Dahai that someone will come to the village tomorrow to collect dried sandworms.
Zhao Dahai originally thought about continuing to go fishing tomorrow. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to see what price the people in the village would charge for collecting sand worms. If possible, sell them. Grandma Zhong Cuihua is old and cannot deal with this. Things, not all business people are honest people. I went to the town in the afternoon, sold the fish I just caught, and went to sea the day after tomorrow.
The next day.
Zhao Dahai woke up and walked out of the yard. He immediately went to the fish pond to take a look. There was a water pump to pump and filter the water. The sea water in the pond was of good quality and very clear. With the oxygenator running at full speed, there was not a single fish. Death, all alive and kicking.
Zhao Dahai was very satisfied. It was true that he spent a lot of money to build the pond and the effect was very good. He often goes fishing at sea, so it is very important to have a large enough pond to raise fish.
After Zhao Dahai finished breakfast, he did not stay at home and went out for a walk in the village. Today someone went to the village to buy sandworms to see what the price was.
Zhao Dahai walked to the drying field in the middle of the village. There was a small truck parked. Several people were busy setting up tables and scales. It turned out that they were coming to collect sandworms. In the past few days, all the villages on the seaside have gone out to dig for sandworms. These people in the dry goods business rushed into the village as if they were smelling bloody sharks.
Zhao Dahai stood aside and watched for a while. One after another, people came to sell sandworms. He waited until seven or eight people gathered around him before walking over.
“The average price of dried sandworms this year is only four to five hundred yuan per pound?!”
"The market is weak. I haven't sold last year's goods. I have all the goods on hand. Supply exceeds demand. Prices have fallen."
...
"These sandworms in my hand are only Can it be sold for four hundred and five yuan a pound? Wasn’t it possible to sell this one for six hundred yuan last year?”
“Isn’t it true that the price of sandworms has plummeted this year? . It was indeed sold for 600 yuan last year, but it is really only 450 yuan this year. It is the same price no matter where you get it.”
……
Zhao Dahai listened for a while and turned around to leave.
A weak market?
Last year’s goods were not sold out? !
Maybe it’s true, but it’s also possible that it’s just the deception of these sandworm collectors.
The people in the village are not stupid and know that these people lower the price. However, the purchase prices in the entire town, including the entire county, are all about the same. If you don’t sell to these people, it will take time and effort to take them to other places. You won’t be able to sell them for much more. What’s important is whether the sandworms in everyone’s hands in the village can be dried. There are many, one or two kilograms or even only a few taels. The difference between the lower price and the higher price is only a few dozen yuan. I am too lazy to bother, so most of them grit their teeth and sell it. It is this psychology that these people who harvest dried sand worms use to determine the price every year very precisely and just right.
Zhao Dahai didn't care whether others would sell it or not, and he would never sell it himself. The sandworms in his hands weighed five or six kilograms. They were large and of high quality. How about five or six hundred for a thousand and twelve kilograms of goods? Keep it for yourself and don't do such stupid things. Sandworms are dry goods and are different from fresh goods. Be diligent and dry them in the sun more often. Don't say that it will last for a year and a half. There will be nothing wrong with them for two or three years. Just let them go and don't be in a hurry.
Zhao Dahai returned home and told Grandma Zhong Cuihua that the purchase price for people from the village was too low and they would not sell it. There were many people selling dried sandworms these days. If they were to sell them in a week or two, the price would definitely be better. few.
Zhao Dahai took the bucket, loaded it with fish from the pond, put it on the back seat of the motorcycle, and went to the town to sell the fish.
Hongyun Restaurant.
Liu Gang stood in front of the seafood pool. The sea water was bubbling constantly. Each grid was filled with fish, shrimps and crabs, and there were many kinds.
"Hey!"
"There are too few high-end goods!" Liu Gang sighed as he looked at the top few pools that were empty.
Ordinary fish, shrimps and crabs are not hard to find, and there are all kinds of seafood restaurants, not to mention that your own restaurant is opened in the town, and the villages below are all fishing villages.
However, what can really attract customers are high-end fresh products.
Chilled?
Seafood: Seafood means fresh and fresh, and what you want is alive.
Take erythema as an example. One weighing ten kilograms is useless. One kilogram dead can only be sold for two to three hundred yuan, and one or two kilograms can only be sold for one hundred or dozens of yuan.
These are all dragged up from the deep sea by trawlers. I don’t know how long they have been frozen.
Rich people don’t like it at all.
If it is a living erythema, one weighing more than one pound can be sold for five to six hundred or even seven to eight hundred and one pound. There is no need to worry about selling it, as long as it can be sold on the same day.
“Hey!”
“How great would it be if Zhao Dahai could catch red spots every day?”
Liu Gang thought of the red spots that Zhao Dahai sold to him. Zhao Dahai made a fortune by catching red spots every day. He sold red spots in his restaurant and made a lot of money. Everyone was happy, but it was a pity that this was not a good thing.
It was almost eleven o'clock when Liu Gang left the seafood pool. The lunch market was about to start. Today there were several wealthy bosses coming to the restaurant for dinner, so they had to be picked up at the door.
Liu Gang walked out of the restaurant door, glanced at the road across the way, and his face turned gloomy. Five or six days ago, he opened a new restaurant, specializing in fresh seafood, and his colleagues were enemies. He was trying to steal money because his business was doing well.
Liu Gang knew that he had to find a way to get more good products. The most important thing for a seafood restaurant is to have good products. Without good products and no competitors across the road, customers would go elsewhere. High-end and vigorous restaurants Seafood is not commercially available and cannot be caught casually. In fact, I have been thinking about this matter for the past few days and have no clue at all. I wish I could go out to sea and catch it myself.
“Boss Liu.”
“What kind of business are you thinking about to make a fortune?”
Liu Gang looked back following the voice and saw Zhao Dahai riding a motorcycle and stopped. Come forward yourself.
"Yo!"
"What good stuff do you have?"
Liu Gang looked at Zhao Dahai's motorcycle, which was riding two big buckets. When it stopped, there was a little splash inside. When the sea water came out, it must be fish, shrimps and crabs. I asked and looked down eagerly.
“I caught some black snapper, but not many were alive.”
Zhao Dahai parked his motorcycle, put a small net in the bucket, and caught a few fish , it had already been divided when it arrived, and the ones weighing more than one kilogram were placed in one bucket, and the remaining smaller ones were placed in another bucket.
Liu Gang looked at it and simply offered it at thirty-five yuan per pound.
“Yo!”
“Boss Liu!”
“Have you made a fortune recently? Have you become a philanthropic boy? Why are you so happy to offer a price at first?”
Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment. The black sea bream sold this time is not big, weighing seven to eight taels per catty, and only a few two catties. The price of thirty-two yuan is really high. The last time I sold it myself, it was bigger than this, two levels higher. Not only that, it’s only thirty-eight yuan per pound, which is a bit wrong.
