Don't be fooled by the fact that the price offered by Hengke isn't high; in China, this price would be considered dirt cheap.
However, whitefish is now one of the main production areas for Bering Govsky, king crab, snow crab, and cod.
These three items are very cheap here, and the price Hengke offered was already quite high, even though it's not fishing season and prices have gone up.
To give you a simple example, the king crab, cod, and snow crab that Bai Yu and his team sell are like the vegetables and fruits sold by fruit farmers and vegetable growers; they all have a price based on the land price.
Bering Gowski is essentially the local area; if Bai Yu and his group sell these things here, they can only get a price that's off the market price.
The reason why it's expensive in China is because of the many additional costs such as shipping, customs duties, and damage, and then the merchants still have to make a profit.
After Hengke collects this batch of king crabs, he can classify them according to size, and the price will vary accordingly. In the end, they will most likely only be sold to China.
After all, geographically speaking, only our family in the vicinity of Da'e can afford this level of consumption, with a large amount of imported king crab and other high-end seafood.
Even though there are two developed countries in the Far East region of Taiwan, given the relationship between these two countries and certain other countries, it is highly unlikely that they will import these high-end seafood.
So, in general, the seafood in this batch from Baiyu was caught by our own people and then sold to our own people, but there was an extra middleman making a profit in the middle.
Although there were middlemen making a profit, Bai Yu and his group eventually sold all of their catch to Heng Ke.
In just two hours, Bai Yu received payment from Heng Ke for this batch of goods, totaling 1.56 million.
Bai Yu was filled with surprise when he saw the final payment he received. He had originally thought that getting six or seven hundred thousand would be considered pretty good.
Then, after they refuel, they will once again be penniless.
But to their utter surprise, they made over a million this time, which was truly unexpected.
This time they sold a total of 1,000 catties of king crab, 700 catties of snow crab, 1 catties of cod, and some herring, flounder, squid and other seafood.
However, the majority of the seafood consists of king crab, snow crab, and cod. The latter types of seafood are so few in number that it would be an exaggeration to call them just extras.
Bai Yu and his crew had taken everything into account, but they hadn't considered that they would only be at sea for a week, yet they still managed to catch over 30,000 catties of cod.
You should know that Bai Yu and his team didn't have fishing nets. Apart from catching a few thousand kilograms of cod with a gillnet on the first day, the remaining 30,000 kilograms of cod were all caught by them.
Eight people caught 30,000 catties of cod in five days. This was in a fishing ground, specifically the cod fishing grounds of the Bering Strait. If it were in another place, it would be really difficult to catch so many cod in such a short time.
When Bai Yu saw the final amount of money, a thought flashed through his mind: should he let his company's fishing boats also come to the Bering Strait to fish?
Although catching king crabs is temporarily prohibited here, you can still catch cod. There are so many of them! If we brought them back home, they would sell for quite a high price.
While Bai Yu and his crew were making money, the staff and security personnel on their yacht were also earning quite a bit.
After all, they had been setting crab traps for two days, and those thirty traps had caught several thousand kilograms of king crabs. Each person would have received about ten thousand yuan.
Unfortunately, although they have a large number of crab traps, the traps themselves are quite small, so each trap can only hold a limited number of king crabs.
Besides earning more money than Bai Yu had imagined, the way they spent it also exceeded his expectations.
Refueling at Da'e is really cheap. It would cost Bai Yu and his crew about a million RMB to fill up a tank of fuel on their yacht, but at Da'e, the same amount of fuel would cost half that amount, only 500,000 RMB.
This time, Bai Yu and his team filled up with 300,000 units of fuel, and even considered packing some fuel to take with them.
However, considering safety concerns, they ultimately only thought about it and didn't actually do it.
As for why the price is so cheap?
That's because fuel is also one of the main economic products of the Goose brand. This place is the origin of fuel, so the price is naturally much cheaper.
In addition, Bai Yu and his team are using the Goose Fishery Association's accounts, so the price includes a discount, which is a subsidy from the local government to the fishery association.
The only thing that made Bai Yu feel a little sorry for her was that the price of vegetables here was just too expensive, way too damn expensive!
To be honest, no matter what Bai Yu bought in his life, whether he was ripped off or overpaid, he never felt bad.
But this time, he only bought some potatoes, cabbage, corn and other vegetables in Bering Govsky. This made Bai Yu's heart bleed!
The vegetables, weighing only a few hundred kilograms in total, ended up costing Bai Yu over ten thousand yuan. Keep in mind that Bai Yu bought cheap vegetables like potatoes, cabbage, and corn, which still cost an average of over ten yuan per kilogram.
This thing is seriously expensive and a total rip-off!!!
But they couldn't not buy this stuff, since there were still more than thirty people on their ship who needed to be fed, and the supply of vegetables had to be sufficient.
And since we've already bought vegetables, let's also buy some meat.
After leaving the Bering Strait, their next stop for resupply is probably near Da Piao Liang; they'll be at sea for a while longer.
After some purchasing, Bai Yu left 60,000 yuan with Bering Govsky and prepared to set off with a ship full of supplies.
However, before setting off, Bai Yu still found Heng Ke and said a proper goodbye to him.
They also talked about something else: their company might have fishing boats coming to the Bering Strait to fish in the future, and if so, they asked Hengke to take good care of them.
Then Bai Yu and his group set sail once again aboard their yacht.
In fact, according to the usual pace, Bai Yu and his group should have stayed in Bering Govsky for two days and had a good time there.
However, Bering Govsky is different from other cities. Because of the presence of some bases, management is relatively strict, and not just any place can be visited.
At the same time, Bering Gowski is called a city, but its population and facilities are actually very small; you could easily believe it's a town.
In a city that lacks both cultural atmosphere and has relatively strict management, what is there for Bai Yu and his companions to visit?
So they stayed for a day and a half to replenish their supplies before setting sail again, heading towards Alaska on the other side of the sea.
The distance from Bering Govsky in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug to Alaska is actually very short. Decades ago, there was a land route from the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug during the winter.
No, that's not right either. It can't be called a land passage; it should be called an ice passage!
At the narrowest point of the Bering Strait, the two sides are only a few dozen kilometers apart, and this area is located in the Arctic Circle, so the winter temperatures are unimaginable.
This is because, in modern times, global climate change has made it impossible for the strait here to freeze completely, and thus this land route has disappeared.
Before this, even Alaskan Malamutes belonged to the Goose, but unfortunately, they ended up with the Big Beauty.
Bai Yu and his group need to take a detour from Bering Govsky to Alaska; they can't go in a straight line.
Although the narrowest part of the Bering Strait is only a few dozen kilometers wide, it is also the most dangerous part of the strait.
Especially at this time of year in spring, many large ships dare not pass through here, let alone Bai Yu's yacht.
The most dangerous thing in the Bering Strait during this period is the sea ice. If Bai Yu and his crew want to go to Alaska, the best way is to go around the outer edge of the Bering Strait, where there is less sea ice.
This detour adds a significant amount of distance, which greatly increases the yacht's fuel consumption.
However, during this detour, Bai Yu and his friends might find some fun and experience the local customs and culture.
In the dangerous waters of the Bering Strait, there are still many small islands, and what's even more amazing is that these islands are inhabited.
Some of these islands belong to the geese, some to the beautiful geese, and some belong to no one at all; they are kingdoms in themselves.
For these small islands scattered in the Bering Strait, Hengke gave Bai Yu and his group a map that marked the ownership of each island.
Bai Hao wasn't particularly interested in the islands that belonged to the Goose Kingdom or the beautiful islands; what interested Bai Yu were the islands that didn't belong to any country.
These islands are quite remarkable, with several located on key shipping lanes. To pass through the Bering Strait, whether heading to Goose Island, Big Phi Phi Island, or the Arctic Circle, one must pass these islands.
Such an important place is indeed completely autonomous. It's a small island that's like a kingdom. It's not under the jurisdiction of any major power and isn't even recognized by the LHG, yet people manage to live and thrive there.
For such a small island, Hengke's label is very simple: Indigenous island.
These five simple words encapsulate the nature of this small island.
Bai Yu was very interested in this indigenous island and wanted to visit it before going to Da Piao Liang.
Bai Yu has always been a man of action, and he immediately told the captain that their next stop would be this indigenous island.
This small island just happened to be on their flight path to the beautiful island, so going there was completely on their way and there was no need to take a detour.
