217. Income
Because of the sale of blue marlin, the boat did not return to the fishing ground, but went directly to the port of St. Johns.
Important fishing ports on the North American coast have professional fishing companies. These fishing companies are not small workshops that can easily collect seafood, but are companies that are specifically responsible for purchasing precious fish species such as black tuna, yellowfin tuna, halibut, big-mouth tuna, golden-lined bream, Atlantic blue marlin, and marlin.
Although St. Johns Port is a famous large port in North America, due to natural reasons, the fishing grounds here rarely catch precious tuna such as black tuna, yellowfin tuna, etc., so there are only three fishery companies stationed here.
These fishery companies are actually considered intermediaries. After they acquire precious fish, they are responsible for air transporting them to Tokyo. Japanese people are the largest consumer group for eating precious fish.
As the farewell trumpet was opened into the port, fishing boats of varying lengths were leaning on the dock and waving with the waves.
The sky is bright, and most fishermen will be ready to travel, while the fishing boats that conduct night fishing will return to the port, so this time of day is the most lively fish market in the port.
When he was driving towards the pier where the fishing company was located, Qin Shiou heard people constantly asking each other, and the sound was noisy, like a morning market.
"Hi Pearson, how are you harvesting today? We caught a batch of mackerels and barely made a profit."
"Oh, Jackson, you guys are lucky, damn, we had a Waterloo last night and almost hit the rocks! Damn! Damn!"
"Anthony, are you going to go to sea now? Where are you going today? How about going together?"
"Forget it, Carey, you are not only a bastard but also a disaster star. Stay away from me, I don't want to go back empty-handed today."
...
Amid the noise, Qin Shiou and Hamre discussed it and decided to sell the fish to the best-known goldfish hook fishing company.
The characteristic of this company is that its rating is fair. Although the price has no advantage over the other two companies, as long as the fish is rated with a reasonable level, it will be fine.
For example, tuna and large sailfish are not sold at the same price. Because the fat content of these fish is different and the body shape is also different, the meat quality must be rated and the price is given according to the grade.
The fishing boats docked on the fishing company's docks are all large and small, and cruise ships like farewell are rare. So as soon as they leaned up, a middle-aged man came up and waved and signaled them to leave.
"Fu guy, this is a place to sell fish, not a place to dock on luxury yachts to play with women!" Someone yelled at Qin Shiou and others on the fishing boat, and then many people burst into laughter. It seems that the Canadian people are also very jealous of the rich.
The wealth polarization in North America is even more severe. Although the two governments have always emphasized fairness, justice and non-discrimination, in fact, the discrimination of rich people against the poor is still very strong. This has also caused conflicts between the two sides.
Therefore, in the big cities of Canada and the United States, there are often clear distinctions between rich areas and slums in order to avoid direct contact between the two sides and conflicts. Fishing ports are all rude fishermen with low education. Seeing someone driving a yacht into their territory, people naturally speak harshly.
Qin Shiou shrugged, and he walked to the deck and said to the middle-aged man who was waving, "Man. We are here to sell fish, blue marlin. A big blue marlin, are you not interested?"
After hearing this, the middle-aged man jumped down. He was wearing a golden uniform with the logo of the goldfish hook company and the abbreviation of the name.
The Atlantic Blue Marin that Winnie caught was indeed big enough, and the fish cabins that said goodbye were a little too busy to fill, so she could only cut off the head of the fish in advance, otherwise it would be enough to remove the gills and internal organs. A fish head would be worth a lot of money.
When the middle-aged man saw the size of the blue marlin, he immediately smiled and reached out to punch Qin Shiou in the shoulder, and smiled and said, "Good luck, man, did you catch this?"
Qin Shiou said proudly: "No, it was my girlfriend who caught it. You know, it's too difficult. A girl can't catch such a big guy without some skills."
Winnie washed her hair and walked out of the bathroom. It was colder in Shanghai early. She put on Qin Shiou's windbreaker, which added some heroic spirit to her. Her hair was combed into a ponytail and hung behind her head, with bright white teeth and bright light. After she arrived at the deck, she suddenly stunned the rude fishermen.
Soon, whistles and strange screams started one after another.
Qin Shiou introduced Winnie to the middle-aged man. He blinked in surprise and said, "It's so surprising. I thought such beautiful ladies should be selected in Dior and Chanel stores. I didn't expect you to catch such a savage big fish."
Soon a hook was moved, and the middle-aged man tied the rope to the fish's tail, tightened the hook, and the big fish was pulled out.
As the blue marlin was pulled up, there were fewer whistles around it, replaced by the sound of gasping and exclamation.
After the fish was lifted up, they weighed it first. Then someone came up and cut a piece of fish and looked at it. After sending it to the test, the middle-aged man who received the reception said to Winnie: "Quality 3a, priced at 28 yuan, totaling 655.8 pounds, so it's RMB. Are you wondering?"
Qin Shiou shook his head. This was a bit different from the price given by Hamre. Although Hamre is not a professional, he is a veteran fishing expert who is still very accurate in grasping the price of big fish.
Hamre immediately explained to Qin Shiou, saying: "You can't ask these fishing companies to offer you the price in Tokyo, and they have to make money by replacing their hands."
Qin Shiou nodded suddenly and Hamre continued: "If you have the channels yourself, you can go to Tokyo to attend the auction, and it is possible that this fish will be sold for 40,000 yuan."
"There are also auctions for fish?" Qin Shiou asked in surprise.
Hamre laughed: "Of course, the fishery auction is also very intense. I remember that at the beginning of this year, the Japanese sushi chain Kiyomura spent nearly 2 million Canadian dollars to buy a top-grade bluefin tuna of five hundred pounds."
The receptionist of the goldfish hook heard Hamre's words and continued: "But that's actually very difficult. I've seen the information about that fish. Its meat quality rating is 3s. There has been no big fish of this kind of meat quality in North America in the past decade."
Qin Shiou thought to himself that the big and small blue in his home were not known as the level of flesh, but they had been transformed by the sea god energy.
Then he shook his head again. Anyway, he was not short of money, so Da Lan and Xiao Lan stopped selling it. They specialize in making fish. In the future, they went to find female bluefin tuna to breed them and build a bluefin tuna himself.
Although this price made Qin Shiou dissatisfied, it had already attracted the jealousness of the fishermen around him.
When this blue marlin was hung up, it attracted many fishermen to watch. Since then, more and more people have stared at Winnie with hot eyes, which made Winnie feel chill all over.
Soon someone shouted, "Hi, girl, where did you catch this fish? Can you tell me the coordinates?"
"Damn little pussy! She was caught by such a good fish. She must be a good player in fishing Kaizi!"
"God is so unfair. We go in the wind every day, but we can't even make money back. Some people can harvest a big fish by just going to sea!"
Later, I learned that the meat of the fish was set to level 3a, and the scene suddenly became messy. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
