"Why do you have such high standards now? You don't even look down on swimming crabs?" Zheng Gan joked.
Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Although there are a lot of swimming crabs now, it depends on who got them."
He was not stupid. He was a little disappointed when he saw the swimming crabs at first, but after taking a closer look, he found that the quality of this batch was absolutely very good, and both the size and fatness were top-notch.
"Okay, hurry up and get someone to come and move it away. We have to go home after get off work." Zheng Gan and others had been sorting crabs for several hours and were already exhausted. After handing all the goods to Xiao Yu, they went back to rest.
The main cargo today is wild swimming crabs, so Zheng Gan distributed a box to each person in advance, a full ten kilograms. Of course, there must be some for his father-in-law as well.
After returning home, he steamed the swimming crabs. People living by the sea prefer to eat the food in its original flavor. He simply cleaned the crabs, put water in the steamer, brought it to a boil, put the crabs in, sprinkled some salt on them, and waited for ten minutes.
Taking advantage of this time, Zheng Gan hurried to take a shower and change into clean clothes. After he finished packing and went downstairs, he found that Qiao Xin had already taken the crabs out of the pot and placed them on the dining table.
There were only the two of them at home, so he didn't take too much when he was on the boat, only five pounds. However, the quality of this batch of crabs was relatively good, and the sizes were also very large, especially the ones he picked, each of which was about six taels, and there were only eight crabs in total.
"Didn't you look down on swimming crabs before?" Qiao Xin asked curiously while eating.
Zheng Gan felt the crab in his hand lose its flavor instantly after hearing this, and then replied somewhat depressedly, "There's nothing I can do. It seems that there are no good things out there. In order to avoid losing money, I can only follow the crowd."
While the two were chatting, Xiaoyu finished counting and transferred the money directly.
This time, we got two batches of goods. The first batch was a net of groceries caught from the open sea. After counting and weighing, the total sales were a little over 30,000. Later, we caught nearly 10,000 kilograms of swimming crabs in Crab Bay, and the total sales were 198,000. The total income from this trip to the sea was 228,000.
In fact, if you look at it this way, the income is still very considerable, but if you think about it carefully, it is not enough. This is because of the recent infestation of crabs. With the help of the map, we can earn more than 200,000 yuan. It is related to plug-ins, but not much.
If the crab season were over, it would be impossible to get so much seafood.
It seems that we still need to open up new ocean copies.
After the two of them finished eating all the crabs, they went to bed. Their current task was not only to make money, but also the more important one of reproducing offspring.
......
The next morning, Zheng Gan and Lin Hao were waiting at the village entrance. Their main task today was to go and see the boats with the two rich second-generations. This was the most important thing.
The company has been registered and other procedures have been almost completed. As for personnel, the basic operating personnel in the company have been recruited, and the only things left are the crew members and captains who will go out to sea.
The crew is easy to deal with. Not to mention anything else, even the three of Jia Gui can go on board. The most difficult thing is the captain. It is more difficult to find a captain who can sail on the ocean.
Several people also studied the issue of this captain, and finally decided to go and look for him, and whoever found a good one would use him.
As for buying ships, their destination is the shipyard next to Xiaohai Village. Although the shipyard is now in a half-dead state, when foreigners cheated them before, they left behind several very good ships, one of which was an ocean-going fishing boat.
After the group of four arrived at the shipyard, they were warmly received. Zheng Gan was a frequent visitor here. Not only did he often buy things and maintain his ship here, but he even docked his own ship here.
"Manager Zhang, I remember that you have an idle ocean-going fishing vessel here?" Zheng Gan asked very directly.
"Yes, Mr. Zheng, I believe you all know about our shipyard's previous affairs. Many people have come to inquire about the prices of these ships, but those who really want to buy them are..." Manager Zhang sighed when he said this. Although this shipyard is not his family's property, he has worked here for so many years and has developed an attachment to it. If he can really sell one of them, although it cannot directly save the factory, it will indeed make things a lot better.
Zheng Gan nodded and said, "Okay, then take us there to have a look."
Manager Zhang didn't take it seriously. Although many people came to ask for the price and look at the boat, he still took a few people to see the boat very diligently.
Everyone came to the dock and saw the big ship.
Zheng Gan had seen this boat several times before, but he had only looked at it and had never had the chance to go up and study it carefully.
"This ship was completed at the beginning of last year," Manager Zhang began, explaining, "The entire ship is made of steel. It's 59.99 meters long, has a gross tonnage of 1,376 tons, and a deadweight of approximately 1,500 tons."
1500 tons! Zheng Gan and his companions were all excited when they heard this data. If they could fill a 1500-ton tank with fish, how much would it sell for?
"Of course, this is just a figure. A lot of things have to be deducted from the 1,500 tons, including fresh-keeping equipment, cold storage equipment, ice, and so on. We even have to consider whether the ship's carrying capacity can be affected by bad weather. In the end, a few hundred tons is good."
Suddenly a basin of cold water was poured on everyone, but after thinking carefully, a few hundred tons was not bad. Before, several people calculated that 100 tons of seafood would cost two to three million. If three to four hundred tons came at once, it would be almost ten million, or even more.
"Manager Zhang, how much does this ship cost?" Zheng Gan asked a key question.
"The price is fifteen thousand..."
"Can you please talk about the actual price? The price you mentioned might be reasonable if it had just been built, but it's been so long now, it's not worth it at all." Zheng Gan interrupted him directly.
Manager Zhang also smiled awkwardly. In fact, everyone knew the current situation in their factory. If someone really wanted to buy this boat, it would be to get a bargain.
"If Mr. Zheng really wants it, I can give you a discount on the price: 14.5 million."
This price is actually quite reasonable, and it is already hundreds of thousands cheaper than before. But why should you put yourself in a difficult position when you can get a bargain?
“It’s still expensive!”
