Sun Youjin was a businessman, and his reaction was extremely quick. Fu Wan nodded helplessly. Since Sun Youjin had brought up Sun Youcai, she really couldn't give him too little seafood.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go ask."
If there are enough scallops in the back, I'll sell them to you for 90% of the price!
"Okay, I'll wait here."
Seeing that Sun Youjin agreed, Fu Wan turned to Jiang Wanghai, who was introducing the aquaculture area to his junior brothers and sisters. Su Ran was also listening and taking notes. This was all very useful information that she could use when she wrote her manuscript later.
"Uncle Jiang, come here for a moment, I have something I want to discuss with you."
Jiang Wanghai, puzzled, gestured for Su Ran and the others to wait a moment before turning around and walking aside with Fu Wan.
"Ah Wan, what's wrong?"
Seeing Fu Wan's serious expression, Jiang Wanghai's heart sank.
Is there something wrong with farmed seafood?
Fu Wan gave him a reassuring smile, then got straight to the point.
"Uncle Jiang, after this batch of scallops is harvested, will we have any more scallops to harvest?"
Jiang Wanghai nodded in confusion, “Of course there are. At that time, our research institute could only provide a limited number of scallop seedlings. I specially asked my classmates from other provinces to bring over two batches of scallop seedlings. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to harvest them in another half month.”
"Ah Wan, why are you asking this..."
Fu Wan sighed, pointed to Sun Youjin who was examining the shrimp he was raising not far away, and smiled helplessly, "See that guy? He wants us to harvest 90% of the scallops."
"Ninety percent?!"
Jiang Wanghai's pupils dilated in shock. He didn't understand rich people. The estimated yield of scallops harvested this time was ten tons. Ninety percent of that is nine tons, a full eighteen thousand catties. What could the boss possibly want so many scallops for?
Moreover, even if these red scallops are cheap, the price per unit is at least one cent, which translates to a total of 1,800 yuan.
The scallops alone cost 1,800 yuan. In an era when the average wage was only 20 or 30 yuan, Jiang Wanghai could only guess that Sun Youjin had misspoken the number, which was why he wanted 1,800 yuan worth of scallops.
Seeing that Jiang Wanghai also looked shocked, Fu Wan couldn't help but chuckle to herself. See, she wasn't the only one who was surprised.
To be honest, she believed Sun Youjin could definitely come up with the money, but Fu Wan might not be able to afford this amount right now.
"Uncle Jiang, don't be surprised by this. Let me ask you, how many scallops can we harvest in the next two weeks?"
Jiang Wanghai thought for a moment and replied, "This time, we mainly use the raft-type hanging culture method to raise scallop seedlings. I have designated a total area of fifty acres in this sea area and placed nearly five thousand culture cages."
This time we can only harvest about 1,500 breeding cages. According to my estimate, the remaining 3,000-plus cages should yield at least 20 tons of harvest.
"I also released some scallop seedlings to grow naturally on the seabed, trying bottom seeding aquaculture. However, the yield of this aquaculture method is affected by the marine conditions, and the harvest cannot be guaranteed."
I previously sent Comrades Fu Liang and Fu Ming to dive to the seabed, but I estimate the find won't be much."
After listening to Jiang Wanghai's report, Fu Wan couldn't help but feel admiration.
With so many scallops, Jiang Wanghai and the others were really busy.
I'll definitely give him a raise when I get back!
"Okay, it's good if there are more gains later. I'll talk to them and make sure that all the bosses who came this time can buy what they want. If anyone wants to buy more, they can come and pick up the goods in half a month after signing the contract."
Jiang Wanghai nodded in agreement, "That's a good idea. Signing a contract is good for both parties. I don't know about your business dealings, but you can rest assured about the yield of the aquaculture area. There will be absolutely no problem!"
After saying that, he expressed his regret again. Scallops and oysters are the easiest seafood to farm, but the corresponding unit price is not too high. They are common seafood. The fact that someone is willing to pay a high price for them today is already a full affirmation of his success.
He regretted not releasing more shrimp larvae; if he had known that the shrimp raised in this area were large and strong, he would have released much more larvae.
But don't worry, once you've tried it the first time, the subsequent breeding work will become smoother and smoother.
In half a month, in addition to the scallops, the mantis shrimp they farmed will also be ready to be sold.
Once the weather cools down a bit more, we can harvest the oysters, as well as the yellow croaker, grouper, and the mackerel that the institute has been cultivating. He checked on them a couple of days ago, and they all look great.
I imagine those bosses will be scrambling to buy the goods then.
As soon as Fu Wan left, the other shop owners who were still tasting farmed shrimp suddenly realized what was going on.
They were all shrewd business people; with a little thought, they could guess that Sun Youjin had gotten ahead of the game.
"Boss Sun, that's not very fair of you. How could you make a move without telling your comrades?"
After finishing his shrimp, Boss Qian didn't even have time to wipe his hands before he hurriedly squeezed next to Sun Youjin.
Mr. Li and Mr. Liu, who came with him, nodded in agreement.
"That's right, we're all just trying to make a living in the restaurant business. Mr. Sun, your restaurant business in the county is so booming, you can't just buy up all the seafood. You have to leave some for everyone!"
"Yes, we have to save some. I didn't manage to get any croaker or mandarin fish yesterday, so I need to get at least a few hundred pounds of scallops and prawns today!"
"Screw you! A few hundred pounds, shelled, wouldn't even be enough to fill a customer's teeth. I want a thousand pounds, no, two thousand pounds!"
Sun Youjin couldn't get a word in edgewise among the talkative group, but as a successful businessman, sometimes keeping quiet and making a fortune is an essential wisdom in the business world.
What's the point of these people just talking? He's already told Fu Wan his needs, and he trusts that Fu Wan won't let him down.
Thinking of this, Sun Youjin couldn't help but glance at the boundless sea not far away, where Fu Liang and Fu Ming, along with some young people, were still constantly retrieval seafood.
Wow, the ocean is a real treasure trove! To be honest, he has indeed made a lot of money since he started focusing on the seafood restaurant business.
Fu Wan's seafood is fresh and sweet, and the chef he hired is also very skilled, which makes many diners remember it fondly.
"Hey, Boss Fu is here! Boss Fu is here!"
Seeing that Sun Youjin ignored them, Boss Qian turned around to look for Fu Wan. Sun Youjin was brought back to reality by his shout and looked at Fu Wan with anticipation.
"Oh, everyone's here!"
Fu Wan greeted her with a smile.
"Boss Fu, if we hadn't come, would you have sold all the seafood to Boss Sun again?"
Boss Liu spoke with some dissatisfaction. He was the first to notice Sun Youjin whispering with Fu Wan. Ha, this guy must be trying to hog the seafood again!
"Let me tell you, we've come all this way, you can't let us go back empty-handed!"
