My deep sea fishery

Chapter 48: Exploiting the Market (Part 1)

An aquatic product market in Pengcheng.

Uncle Xiang took Zhou Wang and an old sailor squatting in front of a small truck, smoking smoky smoke.

"Brother De, or let's go back!" Zhou Wang sighed: "The rent of the truck, the ice cubes, and the three of us eat and sleep. The expenses in a day are hundreds of yuan, and the income is not enough."

"If you don't sell these fish, I will never go back." He Mingde glanced at the truck behind him, "Forgot what the captain ordered before leaving? Don't care about expenses, as long as you sell the catch, you win."

"Okay!" Zhou Wang lit a cigarette again with a wry smile, and stopped talking.

Xiang Yang pays special attention to this batch of several thousand catties with a total value of only tens of thousands of dollars, because in the future there will only be more and more catches like this. Ten thousand yuan is as simple as that.

As long as this batch of goods can be sold, and even a stable and long-term sales channel can be established with buyers, let alone the cost, Xiang Yang is willing to pay no matter how big the price is.

An older sister walked towards the truck.

He Mingde quickly got up, "Sister, do you want to see seafood?"

The eldest sister twisted a little red fish and asked, "How do you sell these fish?"

"Sell?" Uncle Xiang tried to ask: "Are you going to order the goods or buy it back and eat it yourself?"

"Of course I bought it back and ate it myself. Why do I batch the goods? I don't want to make water." The eldest sister said.

He Mingde immediately lost interest when he heard that he was buying vegetables. They were crew members who had never considered doing retail by themselves, but they still said, "Big sister, you have this kind of 45 yuan per catty."

The eldest sister immediately put down the little red fish in disgust, and turned away and walked away without paying the price.

"Frozen fish costs forty-five catties. Isn't it fragrant if I buy live fish?" The eldest sister floated a word into He Mingde's ears after walking a long way.

He Mingde smiled bitterly and shook his head, before squatting in front of the truck again.

No way, these middle and low-end seafood are in such an awkward position in the market. They cannot be used on the countertops of big hotels. Because the quantity is smaller than cheap seafood and the cost of feeding caused by unstable supply is high, no one in the seafood market wants It is raised in sea water, but the price is really more expensive than cheap seafood, and it is not welcome by consumers at all.

"How about brother? I told you that these sea fish are not easy to sell in our seafood market, right?" A fish shop owner who is fucking Xiangyin smiled and walked from his shop to squat next to Uncle Xiang, from his pocket He took out a packet of Huang Fu and sent one to each of He Mingde.

He Mingde was very depressed, "Angkor, don't you also sell this kind of sea fish in your store? Why is my price the same as yours, and yours is so good?"

"Good ass." Wu Zhan shook his head, "They are all regular customers, otherwise I can't sell these marine fish."

Zhou Wang kindly said: "Angkor, we are all fishermen. You see you also buy these goods anyway, or just help us?" Zhou Wang's subtext is to let Wu Zhan approve these goods.

"I can't really help you with this." Wu Zhan shook his head.

"We can sell you at a price that is 10% lower than the price you purchased." He Mingde said immediately.

"Don't say the low one is finished, no one can help you on the fifth floor." Wu Zhan smiled and pointed to a large water tank placed in front of another seafood shop across the road, "see what it is. ?"

"Blue crab?" He Mingde wondered.

"It's a big blue crab with more than two to three." Wu Zhan corrected.

He Mingde nodded, the blue crab in the water tank was indeed big and plump.

Wu Zhan sighed, "Actually, I entered the blue crabs from the same supplier as that shop, but I can only buy blue crabs below three to two."

"It's because I only bought a few hundred catties when I bought this kind of marine fish last month, but the opposite shop bought more than one thousand catties." Wu Zhan saw the three people's doubts and explained: "Our supplier has a Mandatory requirements. If you want to buy more than three or two blue crabs, you have to advance one thousand catties of mid- and low-end seafood one month in advance. Other high-end seafood also have similar requirements."

He Mingde was surprised: "They can guarantee that they can have more than three or two blue crabs every month? How big is their fleet?"

"If they want to be able to guarantee that there are more than three or two blue crabs every month, they still need to make this rule?" Wu Zhan sneered. "Because they don't produce good goods every month, we talents are not willing to gamble. Luck, otherwise it’s approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival. Even if I bought it and discarded it last month, I would buy a thousand catties of goods. Who knew they actually got more than three or two blue crabs this month."

Wu Zhan sighed as he said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is the best time to eat crabs right away. If there are no crabs in my store, how much business would you lose?"

He Mingde and the three looked at each other, "It's no wonder that we can't sell at a lower price. It turns out that there is such a rule in the market."

"There is such a rule, but can you get more than three or two blue crabs?" Wu Zhan asked.

He Mingde shook his head.Although Xiang Yang’s family bought crabs, most of them were around two or two, two and five were few, and only two and two were rare.

"Then can you take out other high-end marine products?" Wu Zhan continued to ask.

He Mingde continued to shake his head.Although I caught the extremely rare seafood of migratory pufferfish last time I went out to sea, it has been sold to Boss Li and it is impossible to get it back, and even if he can come back, He Mingde cannot ask for it, because Boss Li is a direct seller. For wholesale, Boss Li’s price is much higher than wholesale, and selling these low-end products is not enough to make up for the difference.

Wu Zhan went back to see the store.

When the three He Mingde knew the reason why their catch could not be sold, they became even more sad because they couldn't think of any solution.

When the three of them were at a loss, Xiang Yang called.

"what?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh, okay, I will come to pick you up now."

He Mingde hung up the phone and said dazedly: "The captain said he got hundreds of catties of swimming crabs and dozens of large lobsters."

"A few hundred catties?" Zhou Wang's eyes lit up, "What's the size? Is it only three or two?"

"The captain said that the smallest one has four or two." He Mingde said blankly.

"hiss!"

Zhou Wang suddenly took a breath.

"Don't say it, you two are optimistic about the truck. The captain came here with the truck and I will pick him up." Uncle Xiang stepped on the cigarette butt and hurried towards the seafood market.

Five minutes later, a cargo truck stopped in the seafood market.

One by one, the foam boxes filled with ice bags were moved by the two crew members from the truck to the small truck.

Xiang Yang also got off the first officer of Huolala and looked at a corner of this prosperous Pengcheng.
