Such long hours of high-intensity work had exhausted everyone, even during the shift breaks. Now, upon hearing that it was time to get off work, everyone numbly walked towards the cabin, not even planning to eat.
Zheng Gan even fell asleep immediately after lying on the bed. He slept soundly and when he woke up again, he found that the ship had returned to the dock.
"Where is this? Who am I?"
Zheng Gan stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, his mind feeling blank. It felt like he had drunk two kilograms of fake wine. At this moment, he was trying very hard to find his previous memories.
Don't think it's an exaggeration. I haven't slept for more than 30 hours and I'm still working at a high intensity. I even have to use up most of my energy to stare at the fish in the sea. It's simply worse than death.
After a long pause, he finally remembered some of the painful experiences of yesterday. Just as he was about to format it on his own, Lin Hao's loud voice came in first.
"Hey, brother, you're finally awake. The sardines outside have been moved out, and Mr. Song is still waiting for you to pay the bill."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened and Lin Hao's big face appeared in front of Zheng Gan.
"I know, I know, I'll be out right away."
Zheng Gan started to put on his clothes reluctantly. After washing up in the bathroom, he went outside. When he came out, he saw Song Zhao and his son chatting and laughing. However, Song Lei was shocked to see his haggard appearance.
"Oh my god, Mr. Zheng, it's been so long since we last met, and you're like this."
Although Zheng Gan had simply washed himself at this time, his hair was as messy as a bird's nest, his beard was untidy, he even had two dark circles under his eyes, and his clothes were wrinkled. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a homeless person.
"Alas, there's nothing I can do. I have to make money to eat. As for me, I'm destined to be a hard worker." Zheng Gan lit a cigarette and said very sadly.
Originally, this was just an act of pretense, but Song Zhao standing next to him felt very guilty. Normally, things like locating the fish schools should have been done by him as the captain, but Zheng Gan ended up doing it all alone. After working so hard yesterday, he still had to control the whole situation. How could it not be tiring?
At this moment, he was even more determined to do his job well on the boat and use his experience to assist, otherwise his remaining self-esteem would be shattered.
"This is not the first time you two have met, and we are not strangers. Don't call each other Mr. Song and Mr. Zheng in the future. It sounds strange." Song Zhao said and left. This was also to tell Song Lei that they should get along well in the future, not just on the business level.
"My dad is right. I'm one year younger than you, so I'll call you brother from now on." Song Lei was able to accomplish such a great career at such a young age. His IQ and EQ must be beyond doubt. He is definitely a top player, so he followed up on the conversation.
Zheng Gan was not a fool, so he could naturally understand what the other party meant. So the two of them began to have a hypocritical communication. It was not that they could not have a sincere chat, but this was only the third time they had met, so it was better to be hypocritical.
'Emotional communication' is over, and the next step is to get down to business. Selling seafood is the most important thing.
"All the sardines have been counted, and the total is 97 tons, which is 194,000 kilograms." Song Lei was a little stunned when he said this number. Considering that he has been working in seafood procurement for so long, nearly 200,000 kilograms of sardines is not a particularly large number.
But surprisingly, all of this was salvaged by the first boat in just one day.
Zheng Gan nodded, not too surprised. He basically had a rough idea of how much he had brought up yesterday, and it was pretty much the same as what he had calculated himself.
"As for the price." Song Lei paused for a moment, getting to the point. "Brother, the sardines you brought up are all good in size, so let's charge 18 yuan per pound."
"Oh?" Zheng Gan was surprised when he heard the price. He knew the price of sardines. If he sold them in the market, twenty yuan or so should be no problem. But the key was to negotiate with the buyer. There were so many of them here, and the price was still so high?
There are two main reasons why Song Lei did this. One is that the black tiger shrimps had really helped him a lot before, and the other is that Song Zhao was very optimistic about Zheng Gan's ability. Combining these two aspects, he decided to slightly increase the price of the sardines.
At 18 yuan per catty, there were 194,000 catties in total, with a total price of 3.49 million yuan. In addition, there were some small fish and shrimps on the boat, so the final transaction price was 3.5 million yuan.
Zheng Gan silently calculated the price in his mind, then swallowed his saliva. After working so hard, he got back 3.5 million. It was really worth it.
"Okay, brother, that's settled. I'll take these sardines away. I have to hurry back to process them. I'll transfer the money to you later." Song Lei was also very busy. If it weren't for seeing him, he would have left with the things long ago.
......
At this time, Zhao Xing in China was chatting with his grandfather and reporting on Zheng Gan's two times of going offline.
"Well, you should work hard with your little brother. Although the family business doesn't rely on you anymore, it's not bad to have something to do in the future." Old Master Zhao was also very happy.
Although my second son doesn't have any major problems, he has liked to play over the years and doesn't care about business matters. It's fine as long as he is alive, just support him, but what should I do when he dies?
So this time when Zhao Xingyi said he wanted to invest in an ocean-going fishing vessel with Zheng Gan, he agreed on the spot, took the money directly, and had no intention of getting the investment money back.
"That's right, let me tell you, Dad, if it weren't for my unique vision, our family business wouldn't be as good as it is now." Zhao Xing felt very proud every time he thought of this. He had gained so many benefits by following Zheng Gan. From Mayor Gao to Zhang Baiyang, which relationship was not established by him?
Old Master Zhao was too lazy to say anything. It was undeniable that the Zhao family should remember Zheng Gan's kindness.
"Huh?" Zhao Xing, who was about to continue bragging, suddenly received a call from the company's finance department. He was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
"You better be more careful, you're already such a grown-up." Old Master Zhao scolded.
"Dad, I just got the news that Agan went out to cast his net for the third time. He caught a total of 97 tons of sardines in one day and one night, and sold them for 3.5 million!" Zhao Xing jumped up excitedly.
