Chapter 183 Fishing Market Auction

Compared with other sea areas, there is very little chance of tuna fishing in the waters near Nanzhou. Perhaps it is precisely because of the lack of this popular tuna in recent years that the domestic sea areas are not available, and the price of tuna in China is also rising year by year.

Different tunas can sell at different prices. The most popular and rarest bluefin tuna has become a favorite among high-end hotel restaurants and high-end diners.

In recent years, although fishermen traveling far away from the sea have caught tuna from time to time, the large number of them are basically black-fin or yellow-fin tuna. Even so, the price of these tunas is more expensive than that of ordinary sea fish.

Judging from the catches he went out to sea this time, Zhuang Haiyang and the crew knew that the price of the bluefin tuna alone was enough to make a big profit. However, how much they could make in the end depends on the final auction price.

Although Zhuang Haiyang did not make a big fuss, Zhao Penglin brought many hotel and restaurant leaders on the island to the dock. No matter how stupid the fisherman was, he knew that there must be some big goods. Otherwise, why did these people in charge come here?

Seeing Chen Xingwang who was traveling with him, these fishermen also came forward to inquire at the right time: "Mr. Chen, what's the situation?"

"You will know later! Good thing, I'm afraid I won't see such a lot of fun every year!"

"Is Brother Zhuang going back to Hong Kong?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Xingwang also said unexpectedly: "How do you know?"

As a result, the fisherman also said directly: "Who doesn't know that Brother Zhuang and your son are good friends. Now that so many people come here, you will follow him. It must be Brother Zhuang's ship to return to the port. But it seems that he has left the port for a few days.

If you come back so quickly, you must have some rare good goods. Otherwise, you will have to run so far back and forth, and the fuel costs will be a lot! Mr. Chen, just tell me, what good goods have Brother Zhuang got this time?"

"Did you see these bosses and bosses? Do you think you can snatch them by those good guys? Help maintain order and don't let too many people come. Seize the opportunity and make a comment with these bosses and bosses, so you can do business in the future!"

"That's right! Don't worry, our words in this fishing port are still useful, just look at it!"

With several of the qualified fishermen, they immediately found people and cleared a berth. The invited persons also recognized a few fishermen who had dealt with them. Naturally, there were no one seafood suppliers in high-end restaurants or hotels.

To put it simply, these restaurants and hotels are also casting a wide net. I hope that fishermen can supply them with priority when they receive good goods. Since they are here, they don’t mind and find more suppliers.

In any case, Haiprin Town, a fishing market, catch a lot of fishing catches every day. Hotels and restaurants like them sometimes have to buy high-end seafood ingredients from outside the province. If you can buy locally, you can save some cost!

Just as everyone was chatting in groups of three or five, the lights of the fishing boats that appeared in the distance also attracted everyone's attention. As the fishing boats began to slow down, a sharp-eyed fisherman said, "It's Brother Zhuang's boat!"

While talking, Chen Xingwang also called Zhuang Haiyang and asked him to park the ship directly to the cleared trading berth. Even through connections, Chen Xingwang even found nearby police officers to help maintain order.

If you really want to let others watch the fun, the auction will become very chaotic later. Nowadays, people like to watch the fun. If there is no restrictions, I guess those who watch the fun will crowd out the cleaned berths.

After receiving a call from Chen Xingwang, Zhuang Haiyang also said: "Uncle Zhou, the No. 6 berth has been cleared out, and the bosses and fishermen are waiting there. Let's drive and dock directly there later."

"Okay, I get it!"

As the old captain, Zhou Yang naturally knew where each berth at the pier was. When the fishing boat began to prepare to dock and looked at the crowd on the shore, Wang Yanming and others were also surprised and said, "Why are so many people coming?"

"It's normal! Once a fishing boat catches good and large goods, it will attract buyers to gather. Of course, among these people, there should be more people watching the fun. Not everyone can afford such expensive fish!"

"Join in the fun! If you experience this kind of thing a few more times in the future, you won't feel strange!"

The old crew hired seems commonplace for this situation. But for them, after so many years of fishing, there are not many opportunities to participate in such scenes. Good goods worth auctioning are not many times a year!

Seeing the fisherman standing on the shore, Zhuang Haiyang also picked up the cable and threw it accurately on the shore. The fisherman who was familiar with him also enthusiastically helped to fix it. When the fishing boats stopped completely, Zhuang Haiyang immediately walked to the shore.

As for Wang Yanming and others, they also continued to stay on the boat to guard the fishing goods as Zhuang Haiyang's prior instructions. In addition to the tuna caught unexpectedly, the number of other fishing goods they caught went to sea this time was also quite large!

If others were allowed to board the boat, it would probably be crowded with people watching the fun. Given this situation, Zhuang Haiyang, the boss of the boat, naturally needs to go ashore first, chat with Zhao Penglin and others, and then ask someone to board the boat to watch the cargo.

As for how to auction tuna, it’s not too late to start after seeing the goods!

Under Zhao Penglin's recommendation, Zhuang Haiyang shook hands with the invited boss and boss one by one, and said politely: "Hello, boss xx, boss xx! Please take care of him!"

After making some courtesy, Zhuang Haiyang continued: "The cargo is on the ship. Please move the cargo and take a look on the boat. In order to ensure that the fish are brought back alive, I did not dare to stop the cargo. Those cargoes will still be alive."

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, Boss Zhuang, let's take a look first!"

As the crowd got on the boat, several of the fishermen also said at the right time: "Brother Zhuang, can we get on the boat and watch the fun?"

"Okay! However, the location on the ship is limited. Please be careful when you wait. Please help me when the shipment is shipped later."

"That's natural! I must take care of my family in business."

He led everyone directly to the water compartment where tuna was stocked. Under the light, everyone could clearly see that the tuna squeezed in the water compartment was still alive. The bluefin tuna was also very conspicuous when squeezed inside.

"This fish is probably two or three hundred kilograms! Such a big bluefin tuna hasn't been seen for many years!"

"Yes! These black-finned tunas look good in quality. They buy them and slaughter them and sell them in person, which is also good!"

With the crowd's talk, Zhao Penglin also spoke at the right time: "Okay! I've seen the fish, let's hurry up and start fishing! We've eaten a lot of dead tuna, and they're very rare, right?"

It is not difficult to hear from Zhao Penglin's words that he is also helping Zhuang Haiyang raise prices. If you buy this kind of live tuna, as long as you have a place to raise it, you can indeed slaughter and sell it immediately. For diners, this is also a novel experience.

"Well, it's not too late. We have to go back after buying the fish, so let's start quickly!"

Although some bosses were curious about what fishing catches were there in other water tanks, they came here today, mostly for this bluefin tuna. If the price was too high, it would be nice to take a blackfin tuna back and do promotion.

As Zhao Penglin said, the hotels and restaurants they run buy a lot of frozen tuna every year. I have never encountered such livestock. These days, diners pay attention to fresh seafood, so they are naturally freshest.

Zhou Yang was found and asked him to organize the crew to use nets and cranes to start fishing for tuna in the water tank one by one. Zhuang Haiyang and Wang Yanming stayed on the shore and were responsible for collecting accounts. Chen Xingwang was responsible for the auction.

When the first blackfin tuna was photographed by the boss of a hotel after several rounds of bidding. After weighing and paying, he also smiled and said, "Everyone, I'll give in! Come on, help me quickly and carry the fish to the oxygen supply truck."

Worried that the tuna would die if it was too long, the boss immediately found someone and sent it to the rented oxygen supply truck. When the tuna entered the water and swam again, the boss also seemed relieved.

Several of the bosses had never been involved. When the bluefin tuna was finally successfully caught out of the water. After weighing it, the fisherman who helped him quickly said: "Everyone, this bluefin tuna is still alive, it's very rare!"

As the owner of bluefin tuna, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "Dear bosses, please bid!"

Considering that the bidding time may be too long, Zhuang Haiyang also specially pulled a huge water tank and placed the tuna that was overweight in the net directly in the water tank. After the auction was made, it was transferred to the oxygen supply truck.

One of the bosses saw that everyone was silent and then smiled and said, "Since you are so polite, then I'll throw in the bricks and jade first, let's take two million!"

The first offer price of 2 million yuan really made the audience excited. Wang Yanming and others standing next to Zhuang Haiyang were also very happy to hear this. If the transaction was made at this price, each of them would be able to get 40,000 yuan for this fish alone.

As the first boss offered the offer, other bosses who were interested in bidding were not polite and began to increase the price one after another. When the price exceeded three million, there were no more than two bosses who really dared to participate in the bidding.

What everyone unexpectedly was that the boss who offered the offer first finally gritted his teeth and said, "I will pay 3.16 million! Old Chen, if you continue to increase the price, I will have to withdraw tonight!"

The price of 10,000 per pound is indeed beyond everyone's imagination. For these bosses, even if this bluefin tuna is alive, the bluefin tuna depends on the meat quality. If the meat is slaughtered, it will not be sold at a high price.

As a result, in the end, the other three bosses who competed to the end chose to give up. The final transaction price of this bluefin tuna was fixed at 3.16 million. This transaction price was beyond the expectations of many people.

After transferring the account, the boss was very polite, and gave Zhuang Haiyang a business card and said with a smile: "Boss Zhuang, if there is any good product in the future, please call me at any time. In terms of price, it is not a problem."

"Okay, then thank you Mr. Zhu for your support! We will cooperate again if we have the opportunity in the future!"
