After learning that two of his company's fishing boats had arrived in Peru, Bai Yu contacted the captains of those two boats.
After contacting each other via WeChat and phone, and summarizing the information they obtained, they were able to confirm one thing: the two fishing boats they had seen earlier were indeed from their company.
Their purpose in coming to Peru was indeed to purchase salt-frozen shrimp. According to the communication between the company and their Peruvian partners, their two fishing boats could purchase more than a thousand tons of salt-frozen shrimp.
A single trip to Peru in their fishing boat takes more than a month and generates around 20 million in revenue for them.
The profit isn't actually that high, considering that frozen salt shrimp in Peru aren't cheap, and they have to pay tariffs and other fees when importing them.
After being brought back to China, these salt-frozen prawns also need to be handed over to their own live-streaming company for sale, and the profits are not all attributed to the fishing boat.
After all, the fishing boat only spent some time getting the goods, and it's already quite good to make 20 million in revenue from one trip. At least after this trip, a fishing boat won't have to worry about losing money for at least six months.
The performance bonuses aren't very high, but they're stable, which is better than fishing in your own waters and risking losses.
Moreover, this time the two fishing boats only brought in 1,500 tons of cargo, which is not much for two 75-meter fishing boats.
Even after loading all 1,500 tons of salt-frozen shrimp onto the ship, there would still be plenty of space in the hold. They could still fish in Peruvian waters and bring some seafood back with them.
Upon hearing that the other party wanted to fish in Peru, Bai Yu's heart stirred and he began to stir.
However, this is just Bai Yu's idea. They still need to discuss it with Li Shuang and the others to see how to proceed.
Bai Yu has been to all the domestic sea areas in China, including the southeast, the Yellow Sea, the Bohai Sea, and even the Beihai Sea near Guangxi.
Along the way, except for not stopping at Xiao Rizi because he disliked the dirty sea there, Bai Yu had been to all the other places: the waters off South Korea, North Korea, Canada, the beautiful waters of Alaska, and the waters off Canada.
Now that they've arrived in Peru, they're experiencing the marine resources here.
If they didn't have the means before, they could try fishing with a rod, setting crab traps a few times, or catching fish with a gillnet to get a feel for it.
But now that there are fishing boats here, and their goal is also to fish in Peru, can't they also try it out?
Peru is said to have very rich marine resources, with numerous fishing grounds and a wide variety of fish and seafood, as well as many different species.
Every fishing boat that comes to Peru to fish has a successful catch, and no fishing boat has ever complained about the poor quality of the resources here.
This is why Bai Yu was so curious about Peru's economic zone.
While having a late-night snack, he told Li Shuang and others about the news and asked for their opinions.
If no one has any objections, then they are prepared to join the fishing boats here to fish for two days.
"Brother Yu, according to what you just said, the two fishing boats we saw today that start with the character 'Qiong' are Yuxue No. 9 and Yuxue No. 17. They are currently in Peru to purchase goods. How many days do you think it will take for them to purchase these goods?"
After listening to what Bai Yu said, Li Shuang asked the question he wanted to know.
"I'm not too sure about that. After these two fishing boats arrive at the dock, they'll have to wait in line to load their cargo. It might take four or five days."
"Four or five days? So we'll fish here for four or five days?"
After hearing what Li Shuang said, Bai Yu was also slightly taken aback.
Yes, it will also take time for the other two fishing boats to arrive at the dock and load their cargo. So what will they do during these few days?
Fishing? You've been fishing in Peru all this time?
It's possible, but I'm afraid that fishing for such a long time will make me tired of it, and eventually I won't even want to fish anymore.
This is a very important matter. If this exhausts their plans for fishing, how can they continue their round-the-world trip?
But if they don't fish, what else can they do?
"Brother Bai, how about we go to Peru and see what the country's customs and culture are like?"
It was at this moment that Li Xue, who was standing nearby, offered her suggestion.
"Going to Peru? That's a good idea. I've only ever heard people talk about Peru before, but now that we're here, we can definitely go and see for ourselves."
Ah Hai, Shuangzi, Ah Sheng, what do you guys think? How about we take a trip to Peru?
"Okay, Brother Yu, I have no objection. But can all of us get off the boat? We don't want any of us to be left on board later."
"I have no problem. Both Keke and I have visas."
"Yuxin and I are fine too."
......
After some communication, it was found that all eight members of the Bai family had Peruvian visas. There are still a lot of Chinese people in this South American country.
If people in China want to travel to Peru, some people who meet the requirements can even travel visa-free as long as they have a Chinese passport.
Even without visa-free entry, obtaining a visa is very easy. Before going abroad, these people basically get visas from those with whom they have good relations and from whom visas are easy to obtain.
Then they decided that while waiting for the two fishing boats to load their cargo, they would take a trip to Peru.
Besides the eight of them, all the security personnel also had visas, and they were allowed to use biubiu here.
This time, the security arrangement was that ten people would disembark with them and be responsible for their safety throughout the process, while the remaining eight security personnel would stay on the ship or accompany the ship's staff to disembark and take a walk.
Peru, well, although the country's situation is relatively stable, there are still some political problems at the top and some security issues at the bottom.
For Chinese tourists or business people who want to travel or make money safely here, the best option is to find someone in the local area to protect their safety.
As for why we don't recruit from China, let me explain a very practical reason: when Chinese people come to Peru to work, they are going abroad, and the wages will definitely not be low.
If you hire someone locally, it will be much cheaper, and the people you find will have connections locally, which is much more cost-effective than hiring security personnel domestically or internationally.
This can be seen from online influencers who do business in South America; they all hire locals as employees or bodyguards.
The amount of money spent each month isn't much, but it can often have a remarkable effect at crucial moments.
After finalizing the follow-up arrangements, Bai Yu and the others finished their late-night snack and then went about their own business.
Today was a busy afternoon and evening, and the catch was quite substantial, but for some anglers, they didn't get enough fishing.
For example, Lu Sheng and Zhang Yuxin went fishing again with their fishing rods.
Since the men's and women's group fishing matches didn't produce a winner today, the two decided to have an extra match tonight to determine a winner.
As for when they conducted the group fishing?
Who knows? Anyway, during the daytime fishing, it turned into boys fishing for boys and girls fishing for girls. The former wanted to help the latter, but the latter didn't want the former to help.
In short, things took a magical turn; life is full of surprises. As for tonight's tiebreaker...
Lu Sheng and Zhang Yuxin also had requirements; it was almost a competition between them not about who caught the most big fish.
After all, Zhang Yuxin is a girl. Without anyone's help, she would be crazy to compete with Lu Sheng to see who could catch the biggest fish. That would be pure self-torture.
Their tiebreaker tonight is to see who catches the most fish, regardless of species or size; the main thing is the catch.
And it's all about quantity, quantity, quantity! I'm saying it three times because it's important.
As for Lu Sheng and Zhang Yuxin's challenge, Bai Yu and the others followed the couple to the deck, bringing with them the essential weapons for watching the show: snacks and drinks.
Bai Yu even brought a small table and two chairs from the cabin, placed fruits, drinks and snacks on the table, and then wrote a nameplate: Referee's Seat!
The small table was placed behind Lu Sheng and his companion, and he suddenly became the referee.
Seeing this, Wang Hai and Lu Sheng followed suit and brought out tables and chairs from the cabin, labeled them with nameplates, and placed them behind Lu Sheng.
Goodness, the extra match that Lu Sheng and Zhang Yuxin were trying to make to promote their friendship has actually turned into a referee team by these guys!
There are more referees than players, several times more! I wonder if the players are nervous!
"Ah Sheng, Yu Xin, you two turn around and look at us. Are you nervous seeing us like this?"
Bai Yu called out to Lu Sheng and Zhang Yuxin, asking the question he wanted to know.
Lu Sheng and Zhang Yuxin turned around in response. Zhang Yuxin was fine; she put her fishing rod on the holder, then ran to Bai Yu's table and took two bottles of drinks back.
That's right, even during the tiebreaker, Zhang Yuxin still remembered to bring her fiancé a drink.
Currently, among Bai Yu and her four couples, one is a legally married couple, one is a semi-legally married couple, and two are about to become semi-legally or legally married couples.
The legally married couple is Bai Yu and Li Xue, who have already registered their marriage. The semi-legally married couple is Lu Sheng and Zhang Yuxin. They are the second couple in the company besides Bai Yu and Li Xue, and they have been dating the longest. They got engaged last year, so they are semi-legally married.
That's why Bai Yu said this extra round was an internal competition for the two of them to strengthen their relationship.
They are definitely one of our own. It's just that Bai Yu and his group have no sense of propriety at all. Well, it's not that they have no sense of propriety, they just love to join in the fun.
Then, under the watchful eyes of Bai Yu and the others, their match officially began.
To demonstrate their team's professionalism, Bai Yu even brought out a calendar from the cabin—the kind that separates the month and day—which could be used as a scoreboard.
Every time Lu Sheng and Zhang Yuxin caught a fish, Bai Yu would count it. In the end, the six judges were once again divided into two groups.
Bai Yu, Wang Hai, and Li Shuang cheered for Lu Sheng, while Li Xue, Xia Jing, and Ke Ke cheered for Zhang Yuxin. Their shouts were so loud that the entire deck could hear them.
The tiebreaker lasted for two hours and ended in a draw.
The final score was 19:19.
Bai Yu seriously suspected that Lu Sheng had let him win, since he had already caught nineteen fish in the last twenty minutes before the competition ended, but hadn't caught a single fish in the next twenty minutes.
Even if Bai Yu had some doubts, he wouldn't say it out loud. Only a madman would talk about such things. Isn't it good as it is now?
Everyone was quite satisfied with the result, and then they went back to their cabins to rest.
