My Deep-sea Fishery

"In the past, there were too many violent incidents during this kind of buying and selling, which caused huge losses to both buyers and sellers, so gradually, some unwritten rules have been formed in this kind of buying and selling." Chen Bin smiled road.

"oh?"

Xiang Yang became interested and asked, "What rules?"

"For example, wealth is not revealed."

Chen Bin pointed to the huge freighter and said: "Look, the other party stopped about 200 meters away from us. If there is no accident, both of us will stop in place for a long time. During this time, Neither of us will disturb the other, the purpose is to let us hide some valuable catches that we don't want to sell."

Speaking of this, Chen Bin blinked suddenly, "There are some invisible things on some ships, such as penguins, seals, and even some protected seabirds. These things must be hidden."

"When we have hidden the things we should hide and thought about the things we want to sell, it's time for us to meet and negotiate." Chen Bin said with a smile.

Xiang Yang nodded, and suddenly said with a smile: "It feels a bit like a black market transaction, you said they don't have guns on them?"

Chen Bin grinned, "Just like we don't know if they have guns, they don't know if we have one, don't worry, as long as we don't show them some very expensive seafood, we won't conflict with them .”

"If this is the case, it will be easy to handle. Most of the seafood on our ship is not cheap. As long as it is shipped back to China, it is a hot commodity. What I want to sell is very simple, that is those krills," Xiang Yang said.

Chen Bin rolled his eyes, "You think you have traveled so far to Antarctica to do good deeds? Krill is everywhere in Antarctica. No one will collect krill. Their main purpose is also in Antarctica." Sturgeon, Antarctic icefish, and other valuable seafood."

"Is that so?" Xiang Yang was thoughtful.

When he was in school, Xiang Yang once heard an interesting report.

There is a fleet that goes to Antarctica twice a year.

Every time I go to Antarctica, it costs about 3 million yuan in total, from the food and drink of the personnel, to fuel costs, staff salaries, supplies along the way, and various equipment.

It takes about four months for them to go back and forth.

Every time they come back, they are dragging a big boat full of krill.

Most of those krills are sold to pet treat processing factories, and the total number of krills that come back each time may be less than two million.

It is equal to that fleet. Every time they go out, they have a net loss of one million, and the depreciation of the equipment is not counted, but they go to Antarctica every year, and they have to go twice a year.

At that time, Xiang Yang regarded the report as a joke.

Now looking at the giant processing ship not far ahead, Xiang Yang seemed to understand how the fleet made money.

Soon, Gao Chuang finished discussing with his first mate, and then limped towards this side.

"Mr. Gao."

"boss."

Xiang Yang and a group of captains got up immediately.

"Sit, all sit."

Gao Chuang pressed his hands together, then pulled a chair and sat down, "Damn, I ate too much seafood, and I got gout again, it hurts me to death."

Xiang Yang asked in surprise, "Mr. Gao, do you have gout?"

"For people like us who have been floating on the sea all year round, our meals are seafood, and we drink more beer than boiled water. Coupled with the humidity, how many people don't have gout?"

Gao Chuang waved his hand indifferently, and then said, "You all should know what that ship is, so you don't need me to introduce it?"

Xiang Yang and Wu Shiwen looked at each other, and then nodded in unison. They both knew that Gao Chuang's words were actually specifically for them.

"Okay, now that you know everything, let me make a long story short, what kind of catches are there on board, make a list yourself, which ones you want to sell, draw up a list, and which ones you don't want to sell, hurry up now Get on the boat and lock that cabin, I'll wait for you here, and come over when it's done," Gao Chuang said directly.

"By the way, let me remind you that the price of selling here is much lower than selling it back on land. If it's not something you really don't want to bring back or you can't take it with you, then don't sell it."

Xiang Yang lamented in his heart that countries around the world have great differences in the protection of animals. That transport ship was clearly used as a processing ship to collect all kinds of fish that are not allowed to be caught.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yang shook his head directly and said: "Mr. Gao, I don't need to go back to prepare. I have nothing to sell on my boat except krill and squid."

Gao Chuang nodded, without any surprise, "Okay, then go back and prepare if you have anything to sell."

Xiang Yang's boat has a load of 2,000 tons, which is still a long way from being fully loaded. In addition, the boats on Xiang Yang's boat are all fished reasonably and legally, so Xiang Yang never thought of selling them here cheaply.

Gao Chuang obviously had his own plans, and he said directly to the remaining captains: "Give me a list of all the catches on board, except for those rare catches, and I will take them all over to share with the other party in a while." talk."

Xiang Yang was a little surprised, and asked: "Mr. Gao, except for those rare catches, don't you plan to take the rest of the catches back?"

Gao Chuang shook his head, "The price of bringing it back is indeed much higher, but firstly, the journey back is long, and it is very difficult to keep it fresh or alive; secondly, I never thought about buying it in a short time Go back, we can catch those not very rare fish later.”

"The most important thing is that we need supplies. If we don't sell fish to them, these foreigners won't sell us supplies."

Xiang Yang nodded, "It turns out that there is still a way to resupply in Antarctica. No wonder I was surprised before that the number of vegetables and fruits on your ship is so small."

Hearing this, Gao Chuang laughed, "Just bring enough to eat on the road. Like you, you dragged so many fruits and vegetables to the Antarctic. I won't say whether some of them will be damaged on the way. The fuel cost , is enough for you to supply so much."

Xiang Yang smiled, "In fact, compared to the load of a large ocean-going fishing boat, the vegetables and fruits I tow don't consume much fuel."

In fact, before coming to Antarctica, Xiang Yang thought about whether to wait until the Antarctic to resupply.

Xiang Yang knew before he set off that Antarctica can also be resupplied. Not only such merchant ships can be resupplied, but there are also special supply ships and refueling ships in Antarctica.

However, after careful consideration, Xiang Yang decided to set off after the supply was complete. It is not a bad thing to be fully prepared.
