The net burst when it was cast for the first time. Everyone was very excited. There were four tons of hairtail in the five-ton net, and the rest were some rotten fish, shrimp and other ordinary seafood. This was already a top-notch start.
Zheng Gan looked at the time. It was still a long time before dark, so he planned to continue fishing. As the map showed, there were still a lot of red dots in the area in front of him, and the previous net was probably only about one-third of it.
He asked everyone to put down the nets again, and then began the most arduous task: sorting.
Before, their own small boat could only pull up 2,000 kilograms of fish in one net, so sorting them out was not very difficult. But now it is different. This boat has to pull up 10,000 kilograms of fish in one net, so you can imagine the workload.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Today is our first day offline, and we must have a good harvest. I will ask the company for bonuses for everyone." Zheng Gan once again launched a financial offensive. After all, this society is not a place for emotions, and interests are the best motivation.
When everyone present heard that there was a bonus, their eyes lit up and they cheered loudly. Then they picked up their small stools and sat down to start the sorting work very enthusiastically.
Although it is said to be heavy work, in fact, many operations on ships are now mechanized. For example, before, the crew was required to pick out all the seafood from the Internet one by one, put them in boxes, and then move them to the freezer.
Now it is much simpler. The selected seafood does not need to be moved. It is directly sent to the freezer via a conveyor belt. We just need someone to help clean it up downstairs, which saves a lot of time.
Of course, even so, it took everyone on the boat except the captain Song Zhao more than three hours to clean up the hairtail fish. Then they took a short break and started to set up the second net.
Everyone was already exhausted, but Zheng Gan was the most tired. Not only did he have to help with sorting, but he also had to look at the map and direct Song Zhao in which direction to sail the boat. After finishing the first round, he wanted to lie down on the deck and fall asleep.
When the second net came up, everyone smiled bitterly when they saw it, because this net was the same as the previous one, the net bag was still bulging, and it was also in a bursting state.
"Brother, this won't work. With just a few of us, we'll probably have to rest after working for two days." Lin Hao felt helpless. If he worked for a whole day, he might have to rest tomorrow. It was not a good idea to squat for a long time.
Zheng Gan nodded. He thought so too, but where could he find someone to help him in such a hurry?
"Or we can hire some local people to help. The wages here are very low." Song Zhao also came to help. When he heard the conversation between the two, he suggested.
"Local?" Zheng Gan was stunned. This was a good idea. He planned to contact the company after finishing these tasks. After all, he was just one of the shareholders. Although they usually just joked around, they had to do what they had to do at this time.
Speaking of Song Zhao, these two nets scared him directly, but this time he couldn't surrender immediately. If this continues in the next few times, then there will be nothing to say.
"By the way, Agan, do you plan to ship today's harvest back to China or sell it directly here?" Song Zhao suddenly asked.
Zheng Gan, who was squatting on the ground working at the moment, replied without even looking up, "I ordered it at the company before, so I'll go back and sell it. Doesn't Rong City over there specialize in buying this kind of deep-sea fish?"
"Indeed there are, but that's because many ocean-going companies don't have the resources here and can't trade locally, so they gather the fish together and sell them back. But in this way, the fish will be frozen for too long, the quality will drop a lot, and naturally the price will also decrease." Song Zhao thought for a while and said.
"I know Uncle Song, but we don't have any connections here, so we can't sell it." Zheng Gan lit a cigarette as he spoke, feeling helpless. He knew all this, but he couldn't find anyone and was afraid of being cheated, so he and Zhao Xing decided to bring everything back to China to sell.
Song Zhao was a little hesitant and didn't say anything. Zheng Gan thought that was the end of the conversation and continued to sort with his head down. It was not until they were almost done that Song Zhao dragged him into the cockpit alone.
"Agan, I have a channel here that can buy fish, and the price is reasonable."
Zheng Gan was a little confused about what was going on, but when he heard this, he instantly perked up and asked excitedly, "Is this true, Uncle Song? If this channel really exists, we can make a lot more money."
Indeed, if there is a stable and reliable buyer locally, it will save a lot of effort. Not only the price, but also the round-trip time can be saved.
Song Zhao nodded. He hesitated for a long time whether to provide this resource. If it was just a one-time thing, there was no need to do so, although it was not fully recognized now.
However, because of Qiao Zhengdong's relationship and the shock of going offline for the first time, he finally said it after much hesitation.
"Don't worry, Uncle Song. I will tell the company about this situation immediately. Your reward will definitely not be less." Zheng Gan hurriedly picked up the satellite phone to discuss with Zhao Xing and others. With this relationship, it might even be possible to earn a few million more at a time.
About half an hour later, Zheng Gan, smiling, found Song Zhao again with the satellite phone.
"Uncle Song, I just talked to the company. As long as the buyer here is okay, starting today, in addition to your previous fixed salary, you will also receive an additional 2% net profit. Of course, the premise is that you want to work on the ship. Okay?"
This condition is already very good, it seems to be only 2%, but according to Zheng Gan's speed, if he is a little luckier, he can even make over 10 million, which means 200,000.
Song Zhao didn't feel much about this. He had been an ocean-going ship captain for so many years, and to be honest, he had made enough money. What he was pursuing now was a dream of this profession.
"I have no objection, but let's be frank. If you don't meet my standards, I won't go out to sea with you next time, and you won't be able to use the resources of this acquisition company."
Although this may sound harsh, it is not an exaggeration. Song Zhao's relationship with this local buyer is very good.
"Okay, that was the agreement between us." Zheng Gan was in a good mood and was very confident about this.
