Two days passed quickly, or rather, two days and one night; it was over in the blink of an eye.
The ten fishing boats had been fully resupplyed, and with a series of horn blasts, they set sail one after another from the dock, heading back towards Hai Province.
This time, the stop in Jinzhou incurred additional expenses besides resupply costs and travel allowances for the crew.
That's the parking fee.
The Yuxue ship does not belong to Jinzhou. If they want to temporarily dock in Jinzhou, they need to report to the dock and pay a docking fee.
Just like parking fees, you also have to pay to park your ship, and it's based on tonnage.
The rule is that once the fishing boat stops, it must be handed over, and then it must set sail again within the agreed time.
This time, the berthing fees for the ten fishing boats alone exceeded ten thousand, which is no small sum.
As the fishing boat started, Bai Yu and his crew once again embarked on their journey home.
Traveling from Jinzhou to Hainan Province means traveling from the Bohai Sea to the South China Sea, from the northernmost sea area of my country to the southernmost sea area. This is no short journey.
Fortunately, all the crew members on the fishing boats were experienced sailors, and everyone was used to such long voyages.
They would find things to do on the fishing boat to keep themselves from getting too bored.
For example, Bai Yu spends some time every day editing videos. Since he's free anyway, he might as well edit the video footage he's shot as soon as possible.
Once there is internet access, Bai Yu can then publish the video.
Otherwise, he would go for a run. There is a gym on the Yuxue fishing boat, which has some simple, non-movable fitness equipment.
After a week of continuous sailing, the fishing vessel Yuxue returned to the South China Sea from the Bohai Sea.
The entire voyage took place within our own waters, and no accidents occurred throughout the entire journey.
Even the more rebellious people from Taiwan Province didn't dare to make any move after seeing the fleet of ten fishing boats; they didn't even dare to utter a sound.
"We've finally arrived in the South China Sea. It won't be long before we get home."
Xiao Yu, call the company. We should be able to reach the dock around the morning of the 1st. Ask how many berths are available at the county dock. We've hauled too much cargo this time, so it would be best if we could dock the boat in the county.
"Have the company coordinate to free up ten parking spaces for us."
In the captain's cabin of the fishing boat, the eldest uncle looked ahead and told Bai Yu about his plans.
After starting work on the fishing boat, the person with the highest status on the entire boat was the eldest uncle. Even though Bai Yu was the company boss, he still had to listen to his eldest uncle.
As for the berth issue that my uncle mentioned, it is indeed a big problem.
They caught an enormous amount of salmon this time, with ten fishing boats bringing in over 10,000 tons.
With so many salmon, unloading them is one problem, and where to put them after unloading is another big problem.
The processing plant does have cold storage facilities that can store some of the seafood.
After several expansions, the number of cold storage warehouses has also increased, but even with this increase, the number is still very limited.
The processing plant's cold storage currently has a total storage capacity of 5,000 tons, which is not even enough to cover the catch of their company's fishing boats in a single fishing trip.
Not to mention that this time, ten fishing boats caught 10,000 tons of fish, which is truly astonishing.
As for berths, their company currently owns a limited number of berths at the county docks, only a dozen or so large fishing boat berths. The remaining fishing boats can only dock at the city docks.
The amount of salmon they caught here was so large that it would be more convenient to dock the fishing boats at the county's dock, considering the two wharves in the county.
Bai Yu then took out his phone and made a call, telling Li Shuang about the matter and asking him to coordinate the parking space issue.
Li Shuang was very efficient; in no time, she called him back and said she had taken care of the matter.
......
As December 1st arrived, after reporting to the dock and receiving permission, the fishing fleet of Yuxue entered the dock with the help of the dock.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the fishing boat stopped at the exclusive berth of Yuxue Shipping Company. What was our General Manager Bai doing at this time?
He was still fast asleep when he vaguely heard a noise in his sleep, and then he opened his eyes.
I went to bed a little late last night, so I couldn't wake up properly this morning.
"Ah Hai, wake up, wake up and we'll go to the dock to get off the ship."
Listening to the sounds coming from the cabin corridor, Bai Yu judged that they must have arrived at the dock. Then he woke up Wang Hai, got dressed, and went out of the cabin.
Unlike before in the Pacific Ocean and in Jinzhou, the crew of the Yuxue had already changed their clothes. They had put away their cotton-padded jackets and down jackets and put on long-sleeved shirts, ready to start working.
As a city located near the equator, Sanya's temperature is naturally quite high.
Even in winter, the temperature here is still in the twenties, which is a very comfortable temperature, so there is no need to wear a coat.
Bai Yu then strolled around the fishing boat, wandering from the deck to the internal freezer compartment, where he spotted a familiar figure.
"Dad, what brings you here? How is the salmon we brought back this time? Not bad, right?"
Even though Bai's father was wearing a military overcoat, Bai Yu recognized him at a glance and ran over to greet him.
"Not bad, not bad. These salmon are all of very good quality. They are sockeye salmon and even have roe inside. They can be considered top-grade Pacific salmon."
"It's just that there are a lot of them. I heard you brought back over 10,000 tons of salmon this time. What are your plans for handling so many salmon?"
Mr. Bai was very satisfied with the salmon in the freezer.
As a former head chef, he has a certain authority to judge the quality of a seafood.
In his opinion, the salmon in the freezer were of good quality, but because there were too many of them, they might not sell well.
Even good things can be bad if there's too much of them, especially since Bai Yu brought back a large quantity of salmon this time, which is enough to challenge the salmon market.
Moreover, it's the market spanning the entire East Asia, not just a single domestic market.
In East Asia, we're not the only ones who eat salmon. South Korea, Japan, and even the two monkeys (South Korea and Thailand) all eat salmon.
If Bai Yu and his crew were to distribute the salmon they caught this time in markets across several surrounding countries, the impact would be unimaginable.
The problems that Bai's father is worried about now are also the problems that Bai Yu is worried about.
However, Bai Yu also had his own idea about this issue, and then he shared his thoughts with his father.
"Dad, I have an idea. We brought back a lot of salmon this time, but it won't be easy to find people who can eat so much of it."
So I'm planning to look for potential partners in our company's live stream. Thank you for your hard work these next couple of days, Dad and the employees at your processing plant.
"Please process a batch of salmon for me first. We need to make salmon fillets and caviar. The caviar can be a simplified version; we just need to showcase the quality of the roe during the live stream."
"Finding partners in live streaming? Is this a viable approach? Can those large distributors even participate in live streaming?"
"Let's give it a try. If no one comes, we'll see. Anyway, let's sell a batch in the live stream first and give our fans some perks."
"That's fine then. As long as you have your own ideas, that's good. So, how many units do you plan to sell in the first batch?"
"Let's get ten tons of salmon first. Each serving of salmon will be packaged in one-pound portions. Ten tons should yield about ten thousand servings of salmon."
"Okay, then I'll take ten tons of salmon back first."
Since his son had already said so, Mr. Bai naturally had no other opinions and would just do as he was told.
Then Mr. Bai went to make the arrangements.
