In fact, Zheng Gan was the one who had the final say on the ship, but on the surface he always pretended to seek everyone's opinions.
Although this behavior is despicable, he gave too much. Although everyone knew his shameless behavior, they still cooperated very well.
"I agree."
"We have no objection."
"That's right. I'm free anyway, so playing online can help me relieve my boredom."
Zheng Gan was very satisfied, and then he said with a smile, "Everyone has worked very hard. Don't worry, we won't talk about anything else, but the bonus will definitely be very high."
Hearing that the prize money would be even bigger, the atmosphere on the scene became more lively. The money is in place, so why should I be tired? What's the point of being tired?
Zheng Gan acted immediately and asked everyone to quickly put the trawl net into the sea. There were quite a lot of red dots nearby, and the size of the red dots was also acceptable.
After casting the trawl net, as before, the others continued to rest, while Zheng Gan observed the direction of the fish in the cockpit and directed the direction of the boat at any time.
Alaska has relatively rich fishery resources. Under normal circumstances, it takes about ten hours to trawl in the sea, but here it is full in just eight hours.
Pulling up the net is the most exciting moment. Everyone on the boat is already waiting here. They all want to see what good things will be caught in this net. On this boat, there is no empty net. Every net is in a bursting state.
"Salmon!" Liu Youcai blurted out as he looked at the sea fish on the deck!
"Hmm? Captain Liu, is this salmon? Why is it different from the salmon in Hokkaido?" Lin Hao picked up a fish and looked at it carefully, then asked,
Liu Youcai explained with a smile, "This isn't Hokkaido salmon. Its scientific name is Chinook salmon, a type of salmon found in Alaska. We also have it in the freshwater areas of Heilongjiang in China."
"Chicken salmon is both a freshwater and saltwater fish. It's native to the northern Pacific Ocean and is a highly commercially valuable, prized, large, economic fish. It's large and plump, with delicious, flavorful meat and high nutritional value."
Everyone nodded in sudden realization. It must be said that going out fishing can actually help one gain a lot of knowledge.
"Captain Liu, what is the price of this salmon?" Lin Hao asked again.
"Hmm." Liu Youcai thought for a moment, "The purchase price of this kind of fish should be around 80 yuan per catty, with some fluctuations, but not much."
The price of 80 yuan per catty made everyone's smiles fade a lot. This net caught more than 90 tons, or 180,000 to 190,000 catties, with a total value of about 15 million yuan.
In their eyes, this can only be regarded as okay. Zheng Gan has already spoiled everyone's appetite. If Yiwang doesn't have 20 or 30 million, it is not worth cheering.
"Oh my God, you guys are still not satisfied. I've been working in Alaska for twenty years, and I've never seen a boat catch so many salmon at once." Liu Youcai's eyes widened. If his previous owner had caught such a large fish in a net, he would probably have fainted from excitement.
"That's right, Captain Liu is right. You are just not satisfied. You have forgotten that we only caught a few hundred thousand in one net before, but now you don't even care about salmon worth fifteen million." Zheng laughed dryly and scolded.
However, he did not take these things seriously. Money was almost just a number in his eyes. If there was nothing special and good, he would not be excited or happy.
"Yes, yes, we should be content. Let's hurry up and sort these salmon." Lin Hao exclaimed, and smiled as he led everyone to start the sorting work.
Zheng Gan took advantage of this time to go back to his room to rest. He had been staring at the map plug-in for ten hours and had consumed a lot of energy.
......
After everyone had packed up all the salmon, it was already the next day and the king crab cages could be set up. However, Zheng Gan took into consideration that everyone had been busy all night, so he let them rest for another eight hours before officially starting.
"Xiaofeng, this time you take them downstairs and let Haozi and the others stay upstairs." Zheng Gan said.
In the cold storage, manual labor is needed to perform the cooked and frozen operations. This is relatively simple, so anyone can do it. The first time, Lin Hao and his team were operating below, and this time the two sides will switch, which is more fair.
"Okay, brother, we'll go down now." Jiang Feng nodded, then took Jia Gui and the other three people plus Yu Jiang downstairs.
"Everything is ready, let's get started." Zheng Gan waved his hand, and soon the first crab cage was hoisted up. He saw from the map that this cage was densely packed with king crabs.
As time passed, cage after cage of king crabs were brought up.
"Everyone remember, those that are not big enough must be thrown back into the sea." Deng Youfa warned loudly. If they were caught for this, the fine would be very heavy. It's not worth it.
"Don't worry, Captain Deng!" everyone responded!
By the time all 100 king crab cages were dragged up, more than four hours had passed.
"Report! A total of 47,000 kilograms of king crabs were harvested from the 100 cages this time!" Jiang Feng's voice came from the intercom. He was working in the cold storage warehouse and easily calculated the specific data.
At three hundred yuan per pound, these nearly 50,000 pounds of king crabs are worth nearly 15 million yuan.
It has been almost a week since I came to Alaska. I have earned more than 31 million from two king crab fishing trips, and 15 million from one salmon fishing trip, for a total income of 46 million.
"Okay, come up and have a good rest after you finish cleaning up." Zheng Gan replied. It is now the end of the Alaskan crab fishing season, and it is estimated that there will be only one more time.
A conservative estimate is that he can earn around 60 million from this trip, which is not bad.
"Dad, let's get one last crab pot and then we'll go back. I've already told Mom and the others via satellite phone." Zheng Gan said to Qiao Zhengdong with a smile.
"Okay, I understand. Alas, it's a pity that he retired too early. If I had known, I would have retired a few years later." Qiao Zhengdong sighed. He used to think that Zheng Gan was capable enough to take care of the family, so he retired and stayed at home to enjoy his retirement.
But this time, coming here reminded him of the wonderful life of fishing at sea.
"It's okay, Dad. If it really doesn't work out, just follow my lead when you get home and pretend to be my grandson every day. Maybe Mom will soften her heart and let you out again."
