They gave her detailed instructions on every aspect, as if Chen Hong were a child who had never left home.
Chen Hong listened quietly, smiling and occasionally responding with "Mmm, mmm, I understand, okay, okay."
"Old Zhou, Zhou Yi, are you still not done with this phone call? It's like an old lady's foot binding cloth—long and smelly. Who are you calling, and you seem to have a lot to talk about? Hurry up, the comrades are waiting for you to start the meeting!"
Chen Hong heard an unfamiliar tenor voice coming from Zhou Yi's microphone on the other end, and knew it was his comrade urging him on.
"Okay, let's hang up now? We can talk again when we get home tonight. You're still at work, right? Go ahead and get busy! I'm all done here."
"You absolutely have to call me tonight, don't just send me a text message. I'm not doing anything else tonight, I'm just waiting for your call." Zhou Yi reluctantly hung up the phone.
He turned around and yelled at Li Guangliang: "Are you doing this on purpose? It's just your daily routine, you can just say a few words and that's it, why are you making me wait for this?"
"I've been waiting for this call for days, didn't you know? And you want honey too? What a load of rubbish! You're just a hindrance!"
Despite his complaints, Zhou Yi still followed Li Guangliang back to camp. Political and ideological work must be constantly emphasized and never relaxed.
After hanging up Zhou Yi's call, Chen Hong was happy for a while before she remembered that she hadn't called Zhang Baiqiang and Zheng Gaoxing yet!
He then called Zhang Baiqiang, Zheng Gaoxing, Liu Quantian, and Liu Laohu respectively, and arranged to pick up the goods at the village entrance dock two and a half hours later.
He emphasized the gains from the trip to Zhang Baiqiang and asked him to bring more refrigerated trucks so that he could start preparing the cold storage.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Hong turned the fishing boat into automatic navigation mode and began to release the fish onto the boat.
Her boat was a smuggling and seizure vessel for animals, so its refrigerated hold could hold up to forty tons.
With the addition of the six-ton live water tank and the one-ton live bait tank, the full load can hold forty-seven tons of fish.
Chen Hong placed thirty-one bluefin tuna into the freezer, along with Pacific salmon, cod, mackerel (called mackerel in China), and ribbonfish.
A total of 60,000 to 70,000 kilograms of frozen and fresh fish were placed in the tank, and another 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms of Arctic surf clams, various scallops, red sea bream, and giant grouper were also placed in the live water tank.
The live bait container contained over a thousand kilograms of snow crabs and several other types of crabs.
The lobsters weighed over a thousand kilograms and were placed in three large plastic crates on the deck.
It's so satisfying to take advantage of deals; greed gets the better of you and you can't stop.
Selling fish was such a headache, Chen Hong was so annoyed she wanted to pull out her own hair!
Putting too many fish in isn't good, but if I put in too few, when will I ever have enough space? It's driving me crazy!
Finally, at seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Hong returned to the village's dock.
Regardless of the hotel owners' surprise and doubt, Chen Hong just wanted to finish the shipment quickly and go home.
The village chief also brought people from the hotel to help Chen Hong, who was feeling exhausted and couldn't be happier!
After giving the village chief a notebook, a pen, and a calculator, Chen Hong led Yu Yang back to the cabin to rest.
Chen Hong doesn't care how much money they want to give anymore. They're all old customers anyway, so whether they lose out or gain something, it's none of her business. Let them do what they want!
Watching Chen Hong, who had completely abdicated her responsibilities, lead the child into the cabin without looking back, the village chief even helped her with some minor repairs.
"Please don't be offended, everyone. This child has been at sea for eight or nine days, running around all by himself. He's really exhausted. Let me do the accounting for everyone!"
Zhang Baiqiang and his group didn't even have a chance to speak with Chen Hong before they boarded the boat and were busy looking at the catch.
I was thrilled to find so many bluefin tuna and other top-quality cold-water seafood on the boat.
He waved his hand dismissively after hearing the village chief's words, "Let her rest! The fish have all been sent home, we'll handle the rest ourselves."
They're all old acquaintances, so she won't skimp on the price. Bringing back so many fish is already quite an achievement.
Besides, these are all rare fish and seafood that we can't find around here. Chen Hong is really amazing, a truly capable person.
They were secretly delighted. In the seafood industry, the rarer the seafood, the more valuable it is, and the more likely they are to capture a share of the high-end market.
As long as there are good products, they don't really care about people!
Chen Hong and her son were eating fruit in the cabin, while the village chief and his men helped catch fish, weigh them, and calculate the bill.
Chen Hong asked Uncle Village Chief to leave behind a bluefin tuna and some seafood, and asked Uncle Erhu to drive her pickup truck back to the hotel first.
We've caught so many bluefin tuna, but none of our family and friends have even had a taste yet! That can't be allowed; we have to treat ourselves to something different today!
By the time they finished, it was almost 9:30. After seeing off the four cheerful customers, Uncle Village Chief returned to the cabin to hand over the accounts to Chen Hong.
"Chen Hong, this boatload of fish sold for a total of 4,036,700 yuan. Check the ledger to see if it's correct."
Tuna alone sold for over two million, accounting for half of the total. Arctic surf clams were priced at one hundred yuan per pound, a pretty good price.
Manager Zhang said the snow crab is only 35 yuan now; in winter, the price would be more than double. He specifically explained this!
