Meanwhile, Feng Ye, A-Can, and the others had already left Jinghong Hotel and were hurrying towards the pier.
On the way, everyone could hardly hide their joy.
"This is a huge profit. I never expected President Qin to be so generous."
Ah-chan couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Zhaojun nodded and echoed, "Yes, I really didn't expect that."
"President Qin has always been very generous. He never shortchanges anyone as long as there is good stuff."
Speaking of which, Feng Ye had sold Qin Aijun several rare and valuable goods.
From the initial large yellow croaker to the later goose barnacles, and all the way to the large swordfish at the beginning of this year, I have never lost out; Qin Aijun has always offered very attractive prices.
"Thanks to you all, this croaker sold for a high price this time."
Xiao Zhaojun's tone was full of gratitude, "If you put it on the market, you might not even be able to sell it for ten thousand yuan."
"Uncle Jun, what are you saying?"
Feng Ye quickly waved his hand, "We also have shares in Harvest, so if we sell it for more money, we can get a bigger share."
Ah-Can added, "That's right, Uncle Jun, you don't need to be so polite with us."
"Haha, then I won't say anything more. In short, everyone deserves credit this time."
Xiao Zhaojun laughed heartily, feeling a surge of joy in his heart.
Then, changing the subject, he asked, "By the way, Ah Ye, you just said you were going to the shipyard. Are you going to see your ship that hasn't been finished yet?"
"No, I wanted to go to the cabin to ask if it's possible to build a cargo ship for collecting fresh seafood."
There was no point in hiding it, so Feng Ye told him directly.
"Fresh seafood collection boat?"
Xiao Zhaojun was slightly taken aback. "You want to buy a fish-collecting boat?"
"Yes, I do have that idea."
"Why the sudden urge to buy a seafood harvesting boat?"
"It wasn't a sudden urge to buy. I had the idea last time I went out to sea, but I didn't have enough money to pay the deposit, so I didn't ask about it."
"So you have enough money now?"
As soon as Xiao Zhaojun asked the question, he realized that he had asked a very stupid question.
Although he didn't know exactly how much money the Dong Sheng had made on this voyage, he had certainly seen how much the hairy catfish were selling for.
Moreover, he knew very well how much the Harvest Ship had earned; apart from the money from selling the croaker, it had earned 36,000 to 37,000 yuan.
He didn't believe that the Dong Sheng would earn less than the Feng Shou; he thought it would only earn more.
Therefore, the deposit for a boat is more than enough.
Sure enough, Feng Ye nodded: "Yes, the money earned from this voyage is enough to pay the deposit."
"It's good to have your own fish-collecting boat. In the future, the fish you catch won't just go to other fish-collecting boats for free. You can sell your own fish yourself."
"Who can argue with that? Those boats that buy fresh seafood are really shady. They offer low prices for the goods they buy, but sell them at exorbitant prices."
Ah-chan couldn't help but complain, "If we had our own fishing boat, we could earn a lot more money."
"Making more money is only one aspect."
Feng Ye smiled and said, "Secondly, those small fish and shrimp don't need to be thrown back into the sea to waste. They can be transported home and dried, which is another source of income."
"Right, right, I forgot about that."
Ah-Can patted his head, looking as if he had just realized something, "Those small fish and shrimp, once dried, can indeed be sold for a lot of money."
"Therefore, it is very necessary to buy a fresh seafood collection boat."
Feng Ye said with certainty.
"But you only have one ship right now. Even if you add the Harvest, how much cargo can you carry? Can you afford to support a fresh seafood ship?"
Xiao Zhaojun raised a question.
"Uncle Jun, how could you forget that we still have a ship that hasn't been built yet?"
Ah-Can laughed heartily, "Once we get the cargo ship, that'll be three ships' worth of goods."
"The cargo from three boats probably isn't enough for a single trip by the fresh seafood carrier."
Compared to fishing boats, fish-collecting boats have a much larger fish hold capacity.
One cargo ship can connect with four or five fishing boats.
"That's true. Three boats are indeed a bit too few. We'll definitely need to find other fishing boats to connect with in the early stages."
With three boats carrying cargo, there's definitely no problem making money from the fresh cargo boats, though it will be less.
However, the cost of going to sea is too high, and it is not cost-effective to only carry three ships' worth of cargo each time.
It's best to return to port after the hold is full of fish, which means you'll have to find other fishing boats to cooperate with in order to catch more fish.
Feng Ye then said confidently, "However, once we have more of our own ships, one fresh seafood collection ship may not be enough."
"This...you still want to buy fishing boats?"
"Of course, money sitting at home will only get moldy, so it's better to spend it and buy more boats, which will make money faster."
Xiao Zhaojun remained silent.
He had to admit that Feng Ye and his group were resourceful, energetic, and decisive.
To dare to invest all the money earned and then buy more ships to expand the business is something that not everyone can do.
If it were him, he definitely wouldn't have the guts.
After all, fishing at sea is too risky.
If something unexpected happens, we could lose everything.
However, he still admired Feng Ye and his team's courage.
At the same time, I also felt a little bit of anticipation.
If Feng Ye and his crew really expand their fleet, the Harvest will definitely be able to earn more money by following them.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a little tempted.
Perhaps he could consider buying another boat.
"Since you're going to the shipyard, I won't go with you. I'll head back first."
He was eager to go back and discuss the matter of buying a boat with his two sons.
"Okay, you guys go back first, we'll go to the shipyard ourselves."
