Chapter 344 Tuna in troubled waters
“We have so many people here today, and you want to take away most of them by yourself, but that won’t work.
We have come all the way from Qingdao. As hosts, you guys should behave and show your loyalty as landlords!
Let's do this, Boss Chen, I'll give you ten yuan per catty, and give me thirty pieces first. "
As soon as he said this, Zhang Baiqiang, Liu Quantian and Zheng Gaoxing had not said anything yet, but the other two bosses who came with him were unwilling.
"I said, Lao Xue, the three of us came together to show you what you can do.
Are we both cowards? If you can spare an extra ten yuan, we can't afford it.
During the Chinese New Year, let’s put aside whether we make money or not. We still need to maintain some relationships.
Boss Chen, three bosses, you see we traveled three hundred kilometers in the heavy snow just to buy tuna.
You all live on the land, so you can't let us go in vain, right? They are all generous people, so they must be embarrassed to do such petty and petty things.
Let's discuss it, don't embarrass Boss Chen, and come up with as much as you want.
If one family cannot survive, several others will be hungry, right? It's not bad, we all have a share in it.
Just the six of us, we parted ways peacefully, and we will have a good New Year when we go back. "
Chen Hong smiled. This silent boss was the most thoughtful, so that everyone would not have to rush to raise the price. It doesn't matter how much or how little they share, Chen Hong suffers the most.
The unit price cannot go up. With these fish now, no matter how many they buy, the total price is fixed.
There are no fools in business, and traders in Shandong are still very shrewd.
Including Zhang Baiqiang, although he has a relationship with Chen Hong, he also wants to buy the best tuna at the lowest price.
The six of them gathered together and began to discuss the distribution of shares.
The most excited among them were the three people from Qingdao and Zhang Baiqiang. As for Zheng Gaoxing, five or six pieces were enough for him.
He has no branches, only one main store, and there are too many goods for him to eat.
As for Liu Quantian, he sells the food for takeout. The price is low and his profit is considerable. If the price is raised, he is afraid that the profit margin will be reduced.
Only Zhang Baiqiang has many branches and large scale of Dragon Palace Hotel, so he can take a lot of share.
Chen Hong thought for a moment and called Zhang Baiqiang aside, "Brother Zhang, didn't you buy so much tuna just to use it years ago?
If you're not in a hurry, you can save enough for last year. After the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I'll get you more than 20 fresh ones. "
Zhang Baiqiang was stunned, "What, what are you talking about? Can you make another batch after the year?
Not lying? Can you guarantee that the quality of the meat will be the same as this batch? If you can guarantee it, I will order a few less this time, and first guarantee the usage of each store years ago.
But don’t lie to me, our hotel will not be closed during the Chinese New Year, and there is a lot of demand. "
Chen Hong: "When did I tell you a lie? There were two other boats going to the Pacific with me this time, and they also caught a lot of tuna.
However, their boat speed was slow, and due to the weather at sea, we only got through the phone at noon today, and they were able to get back on the sixth day of the new year.
When the time comes, I will go to the sea to meet you, and I will definitely be able to get you twenty bluefin tuna.
You can rest assured about the quality of the meat, we catch it all in the same place (in the cage) and it is guaranteed to be exactly the same. "
In this way, after Chen Hong's persuasion, Zhang Baiqiang only picked up the big ones and ordered ten bluefin tuna.
Of the remaining forty-two items, Xue Yuliang asked for twenty items, the other two bosses each received seven items, Zheng Gaoxing received five items, and Liu Quantian only received three items.
Although they are not satisfied, but the Chinese New Year will be in three days, and it is a surprise to be able to catch tuna in this weather.
Each fish is tagged, and the unit price of the meat is determined.
The village chief and several eldest brothers from the Wang family were busy greeting the workers to weigh and load the trucks, and asked Chen Hong to go back to the cabin to entertain the bosses.
Chen Hong made tea again and let everyone drink it warmly. Everyone talked about Chen Hong's expedition to the Pacific to catch bluefin tuna.
Chen Hong thought to herself: I only caught one cod, and the rest were all touched by hand.
The legendary fish in troubled waters is what I did, but I can't say this, and you won't believe it if I say it, and you will definitely think that this bitch is bragging.
There was nothing to talk about, so I told them that the sea breeze in the Pacific Ocean was stronger than that in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea.
The waves in the Osumi Strait are more than ten meters high, the temperature is so low, and the sea environment is so bad.
In a word, fishing at sea is not easy, so bosses, please relax on the price!
Finally, Chen Hong's hard work paid off. The price of this boat's bluefin tuna was ten yuan per catty higher than what was sold in Shanghai.
I received about 200,000 yuan more than expected. It’s not too much, but it’s not too little either. It’s enough for the family’s New Year expenses.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the customer from Qingdao finished loading the car and set off first, followed by Liu Quantian and Zheng Gaoxing.
Zhang Baiqiang, who was persuaded by Chen Hong to stay, stayed at the end. Make a phone call with Chen Hong on the sixth day of the lunar month, and he will bring someone to pick up the goods.
He also helped Chen Hong transport three large boxes of seafood, loading them into cars and preparing to take them to Jinan overnight.
Their hotel has a dedicated fleet of cold-chain trucks. The last batch of seafood before the year was just waiting for Chen Hong’s bluefin tuna to arrive before heading to Jinan.
Sending all the customers away makes the network much easier!
Together with the village chief, Uncle Erhu, and the three Wang brothers, we cleaned the pier and tidied up the fishing boats.
Chen Hong asked the village chief and others to help her open the living water tank and start fishing for fish.
She brought back pine leaf crabs, red hair crabs, monodon shrimps, flower lobsters, moray eels, giant squid, and various reef fish from the Pacific Ocean, and filled four large breeding boxes.
There are many kinds of fish that even the village chief doesn’t recognize, and they weigh more than 2,000 kilograms by visual inspection.
The village chief and Uncle Erhu discussed while fishing: "This fish monster is very beautiful. It is yellow with black edges. It seems to be a type of snapper, right? We have never seen it before!"
“We don’t have this kind of fish here. Look at the fish’s mouth and fins. It should be a kind of grouper.
It's just not that big, probably because it's a cold water fish. Ouch, look, what kind of fish is this? Why is it so big!
Even if the fish head is removed, I'm afraid it won't be able to stew it in a big pot. "
"It seems that there are many kinds of fish in the Pacific! It's a pity that none of us have been there and can't see them!"
The three brothers Wang Yusheng, Wang Yuyong and Xiaofeng saw so many fish they had never seen before for the first time, and their eyes were full of yearning.
Several men were fishing excitedly and putting fish they had never seen before into a large breeding box.
Seeing their excited and enthusiastic expressions, Chen Hong was particularly helpless: "Uncle, it's getting late, let's fish it out quickly!
Go home early after fishing. If you want to see something rare, can we go home and see it? "
Uncle Erhu smiled naively: "That's right, you guys, hurry up and go home.
Chen Hong has been out for almost half a month, and it's long past time to go home and rest. "
The village chief's uncle asked Chen Hong: "Chen Hong, why didn't you call Mr. Liu and Lao Lao to collect the fish?
There are so many fish, aren’t you going to sell them? Is it possible to take them all home?
Let me tell you, there are only two guests left in our hotel, and we can’t use so much fish in the restaurant. "
