Chapter 404 Fleet's Net Profit

Chapter 404 Fleet’s Net Profit

In the evening, the three ships came together again. Liang Ziqiang heard Lu Song and Lin Liming’s excited description and realized that the Boqiang had towed a bluefin tuna, which looked to be at least 20 kilograms!

It's not that Liang Ziqiang hasn't caught bluefin tuna before. Last year, he caught two, one large and one small. The small one weighed only about ten pounds, and the big one was eaten in half by a shark, leaving only half...

This was the first time I caught a complete bluefin tuna weighing more than 20 kilograms.

This fish alone would cost around 600-700 yuan, right?!

Looking at today’s overall catch, there is no doubt that the biggest harvest went to the “Bo Qiang”!

On the fifth day, the fleet ended its first voyage and began to turn around, hauling fish while returning.

After arriving at the county fishing port, we carried the fish directly to the public purchasing station.

Now that the fleet is operating, the fish catch has tripled, and only the public purchasing stations can absorb such a large amount.

Although Liang Ziqiang wanted to take care of Wei Pan's business, if he really moved all the fish there, he would probably scare the other party. It was still the old rule, some of the relatively valuable fish were sold to Wei Pan, and he just took care of his business.

For example, lobsters and swimming crabs are left to Wei Pan to sell.

When selling the fish, although all three boats belonged to Liang Ziqiang, according to his arrangements, each boat was weighed separately, and the words "Boqiang", "Ziqiang" and "Zhongqiang" were written on the corresponding baskets to avoid confusion.

In the end, the "Ziqiang" caught more than 8,000 kilograms of fish during this five-day trip, which is about the same as the normal deep-sea fish catch. However, due to the large number of lobsters on one day, the unit price was higher, so the actual income was slightly higher than usual, more than 2,400 yuan; the "Zhongqiang" caught 2,380 kilograms of fish; and the "Boqiang" caught more than 2,350 kilograms of fish.

But this does not include the income from bluefin tuna and bluefin tuna.

In total, Liang Ziqiang made more than 7,100 yuan on this trip! You know, this is not winter fishing in a place like the "wintering fishing ground" where fish and shrimp gather. This is just an ordinary deep sea area. He made more than 7,000 yuan in five days! In the past, he relied on the "Ziqiang" ship alone, and each trip only made more than 2,000 yuan. His income has tripled.

Of course, all three ships had to be refueled, and each ship cost six hundred dollars.

Then Liang Ziqiang paid the crew members their wages. Now there were a total of twenty-one people on the three boats plus his own.

The captain and the first mate will not be paid yet, but the fifteen ordinary crew members will be paid first.

Five dollars a day, twenty-five dollars per person, fifteen people, a total of three hundred and seventy-five dollars were paid out.

The captain and the first mates don't get paid, they only get commissions. He has to wait until all the bluefin tuna and bluefin tuna are sold, and then do a thorough calculation to know how much commission each person should get. Once the calculation is done, he can give it to them the next time he goes out to sea.

After leaving the county fishing port, Zhu Tianpeng and Lu Song drove the Zhongqiang and Boqiang back to the village, and all the crew members also boarded the two boats and followed them back.

Only Liang Ziqiang and his father were still on the "Ziqiang" and had to continue going to the city.

After stopping the "Zi Qiang" at Sham Shui Po Bay, Liang Zi Qiang took the bluefin tuna and the bluefin tuna and quickly went to Yue Hai Restaurant.

"Blue lobster? This is the first time I see you get this thing!" Du Ziteng said in surprise when he saw him.

"I want to get one of these lobsters every time out of millions of them!" Liang Ziqiang said with a chuckle.

"You sold me a lobster two years ago, and you know that I don't sell this kind of stuff by pound, I'll just sell it by piece. But the bigger it is, the more valuable it is. Take that bluefin tuna with you to the warehouse!"

We weighed the French blue dragon in the warehouse and found it weighed one pound and one ounce.

"In terms of price, the Blue Dragon is close to Jinxiu. How much was the Jinxiu two years ago?" Du Ziteng took note. "I still remember, it seemed to be fifty. This Blue Dragon is twice as big, so don't worry, the price will definitely be more than doubled. How about this, two hundred!"

He then added: "It's a pity that it's still a little small. If you can get me a 10-catties blue dragon, I can use it to promote my store! As for the price, one of them could cost several thousand!"

"I think about it in my dreams!" Liang Ziqiang smiled.

Are you kidding me? Is it easy to come across a blue dragon weighing 80 to 100 kilograms? This thing doesn't grow very fast.

In later generations, a French blue dragon weighing more than ten kilograms can be sold for over one million yuan. At the same time, many hotel catering departments will compete for it, and it will be treated like an auction, which shows how scarce and popular it is.

Of course, it refers to wild ones. Later generations also farmed blue lobsters in large quantities, but the taste was not close to that, and the price was only a few hundred yuan per pound.

After selling the French bluefin, we weighed the bluefin tuna, which weighed 25.3 jin.

Because of its large size, the price is more expensive than the ten-pound ones last year. Du Ziteng is willing to pay twenty-seven yuan per pound.

This bluefin tuna costs six hundred and eighty-three dollars and one cent.

Together with the money from the blue dragon, the total was eight hundred and eighty-three dollars and ten cents.

"A Qiang, you are a big boss now. I won't make it an even number for you this time. I will just erase the one cent!" Du Ziteng looked at him and said with a smile.

In the past, when Du Ziteng encountered a number with a decimal point, he would add it to make it an integer. This was the first time he erased the decimal point.

One cent really meant nothing to Liang Ziqiang at the moment. He responded with a few jokes and went to the meeting room to collect the money.

After coming out of Yuehai, I purchased some necessities for food and drink for the next voyage, and also bought an abacus.

After returning to Sham Shui Po, he and his father sailed back to the village. He still drove the boat while his father looked out.

"Why did you buy an abacus?" After dinner, Chen Xiangbei saw him take out an abacus from the basket and asked curiously.

"I see that you like counting money," he replied with a smile, "I'll buy you an abacus to play with. It's more fun than counting money!"

"Go and have fun by yourself!" The daughter-in-law walked away, picked up the dishes and went to the kitchen.

I heard a voice behind me, like a tape recorder, saying, "Ba ba, ba ba ..."

When he turned around, Liang Jingcheng was leaning against the wall, trekking through mountains and rivers, moving towards him from a long distance...

Cheng Cheng can walk now, but he can't walk for too long on his own. If he wants to walk far, he needs to hold on to the wall, a stool, or anything else.

That was really moving, with the calves lifted up and down, and every time a step was taken, the palms of the hands were slapped on the wall.

Children's heads account for a large proportion of their body and their skulls are round, which makes them look top-heavy and their walk a bit like a rock and roll.

"Cheng Cheng, you're calling me?!" Liang Ziqiang was surprised.

Although Cheng Cheng had been able to say "Ba Ba" blindly some time ago, now she raised her red little face and shouted "Ba Ba" to him, which could be said to be very accurate. Liang Ziqiang was of course very happy to see this.

“Well, well, well…”

Cheng Cheng still looked at him straight and called him dad.

He was so happy that he opened his arms to hug her. Unexpectedly, Cheng Cheng did not embrace him, but reached forward with her little hand and grabbed the abacus beside him.

Turn around and drag it away.

There was a burst of "crackling" sounds, and the beads were pushing and shoving each other, making a lot of noise as Cheng Cheng dragged them.

The abacus stand was scratching on the ground, which made Liang Ziqiang feel very sad.

"See, now someone is helping you with the math!" The daughter-in-law put down her bowl and chopsticks, put her hands on her hips and smiled, not knowing whether she was gloating or happy to see the outcome.

"I told you Cheng Cheng has a promising future, right? There are so many kids in the village, but is there anyone at such a young age who likes to do abacus? He's only a few days away from being one year old, yet he's already in a hurry to do the one-year-old ceremony!" Liang's mother saw this from a distance and praised Cheng Cheng without any principles.

Cheng Cheng seemed a little tired from walking, so he sat down on the ground and began to pick the beads out of the abacus one by one very carefully, trying to get all the beads out of the abacus.

Sure enough, he lived up to his grandmother's praise and expectations for him...

Liang Ziqiang resisted the urge to hit the kid because the kid called him dad for the first time.

Of course Chen Xiangbei understood the purpose of his buying the abacus. She put the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, coaxed Cheng Cheng with a few words, and took the abacus back from Cheng Cheng.

The young couple sat back in the house and immediately started working on an abacus to calculate the corresponding commission for each crew member on this voyage.

The ship with the highest commission this time was not Liang Ziqiang's ship, but the "Boqiang".

The Boqiang had hauled a large bluefin tuna, and the total revenue was 3,035 yuan. After deducting the 600 yuan diesel fee, all labor costs and living expenses, the net profit was around 2,000 yuan. Rounded to the nearest integer, 2,000 yuan.

Captain Lu Song took ten points, which meant a reward of two hundred.

First mate Lin Liming five points, which is one hundred.

Of course, the other two ships are significantly lower than this number.

The total revenue of "Zhongqianghao" is 2,580 yuan, and after deducting expenses, the net profit is around 1,600 yuan.

Zhu Tianpeng was paid 160 yuan, and first mate Liang Chun was paid 80 yuan.

After deducting all expenses, Liang Ziqiang made a net profit of more than 5,300 yuan from this voyage.

In the past, there was only one "Ziqiang" line, and the net profit of each trip fluctuated between RMB 1,500 and RMB 1,900.

Even though he has distributed more now, the profits Liang Ziqiang has received are also increasing accordingly.

From less than 2,000, the net profit quickly soared to more than 5,000 per trip! (End of this chapter)
