My deep sea fishery

Chapter 73 Captain, I want to contract pearl mussels

The crew lifted the squid from the freezer to feed the sea lions.

Soon the sea lions were fed by the crew, doing various cute moves under the deck to please the crew on the deck.

After Xiang Yang got on the boat, he took a piece of cantaloupe that Uncle Xiang handed over and ate.

"It's a pity." He Mingde supported the ship's side and looked at the bottom of the deck. "There are so many pearls in this sea area. Now there are so many sea lions, but it's not easy to salvage them."

Xiang Yang wanted to say that he didn't care about these sea lions, and he just wanted to go fishing for pearls, but he didn't even bother to say anything when he thought about it.

Just as tourists dared to feed when they saw sea lions in the Ocean Theme Park, but never dared to stretch their hands into the pool, these crew members on the boat would probably not dare to swim in the same sea area with the sea lions for a while.

"Wu Shiwen, come here." But when he talked about Pearl, Xiang Yang thought of what Wu Shiwen said to him.

"Here, Captain, what's the matter?" Wu Shiwen heard Xiang Yang shouting that he immediately trot over.

Xiang Yang first smiled and told He Mingde about bringing pearl mussels to the city to bet on mussels, and then looked at Wu Shiwen and said, "How is it? Have you asked how everyone's harvest is?"

Whether the pearl mussels are used to gamble on mussels to make money or open mussels to make money from pearls is not determined by just one or two people opening a few mussel shells.

"I have already asked, Captain." Wu Shiwen smiled: "There are a lot of white pearls, not a single black pearl or golden pearl. In fact, it must be more profitable to bet on mussels."

He Mingde looked at Wu Shiwen with a little surprise, "Betting on mussels? Is this the way you came up with?"

Wu Shiwen smiled and stroked his head.

He Mingde understood it immediately.

"Xiaoyang, do you want to get a batch of pearl mussels to sell?" He Mingde asked.

Xiang Yang immediately shook his head, "I still have a lot of things after I go back this time, how can I have this time?"

He Mingde nodded, knowing that Xiang Yang was telling the truth.After going back to sea this time, ordinary crew members can take a few days off on vacation, but he and Xiang Yang absolutely can’t rest. So many catches need them to deal with, and some high-grade catches need them to find a market. .

"But the profit of gambling on mussels is huge. I was wondering if I could find a few agents or something." Xiang Yang explained.

Big profit?He Mingde took a sigh of relief after calculating an account. "These mussels are sold according to Wu Shiwen’s method. If someone buys them, one mussel can sell for one hundred yuan, and ten mussels can sell one thousand, one hundred. A mussel can sell for tens of thousands!"

"What I am worried about is that everyone will taste the freshness of this thing, and I am afraid it will not sell so well later."

"That's true." He Mingde nodded, looking thoughtful, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xiang Yang is actually thinking about the profit.

The profit of pearl mussels is indeed very high, but Xiang Yang cannot squat to the vegetable market with a sack of pearl mussels like Wu Shiwen. After thinking about it for a while, Xiang Yang feels that it is better to be a supplier as before. .

"Are you going to only sell it this time or do you have the idea to get pearl mussels back to sell every time you go to sea?" Xiang Yang looked at Wu Shiwen and said.

Wu Shiwen's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Captain, can we come here every time we go to sea to get a batch of pearl mussels?"

Fishing boats sailing on the sea generally do not have fixed routes. They are chasing schools of fish and fishing boats go wherever they go. Wu Shiwen never thought that he could get pearl mussels with such a high pearl production rate every time he went out to sea. So this time I tried my best to get more pearl mussels back, but Xiang Yang seemed to mean that he would get back pearl mussels every time he went to sea.

Xiang Yang smiled and bared his white teeth, "Of course it's okay. There are a lot of pearl mussels in this sea area. Why don't you just come and catch it when you go out to sea?"

Wu Shiwen calmed down. The next time he went out to sea to fish for pearl mussels, the fishing boat had a fixed fishing ground with a fixed route. This sea area was not close to the coastline, and it was far away from the sea with rich fisheries. The fishing boat was deliberately driven here. The fuel consumed during the journey in the sea is definitely not a small number.

"Captain, do you want to include pearl mussels as part of your fishing income in the future?" Wu Shiwen said.

"I have this idea." Xiang Yang nodded.If a stable sales channel or agent can be found, including pearl mussels as part of the catch can really make Xiang Yang a lot of money.

He Mingde shook his head, "This matter is difficult to me. Consumers may start by drawing fresh, but after buying several times, they can’t get any valuable pearls. I don’t think anyone will buy anymore. If it's less, you can sell it with your mouth, but if it's too much, you will definitely have to smash it in your own hands.

Xiang Yang frowned in thought.

He Mingde's words make sense, pearl mussel meat is very worthless.

Once gambling mussels cannot be sold, a batch of pearl mussels sold as mussel shells will not be able to make money back.

"Try it first!" Xiang Yang said cautiously: "Wu Shiwen, you tell the other crew members, you take advantage of today's vacation to catch some pearl mussels, and then you will take them to the city to try the market. If it is good for sale, I will bring up a batch of pearl mussels next time I go to sea to find a market. Of course, if you find it good for sale and want to sell it, you can also come to me to buy it. I will definitely have a certain price if you sell it to you. We will try our best to leave you enough profits."

"Captain, if it's good to sell, can I contract the pearl mussels from the ship alone?" Wu Shiwen asked.

"Are you contracting the contract alone?" Xiang Yang and He Mingde both looked at Wu Shiwen with surprise.

Wu Shiwen solemnly said: "I actually still have some surplus money in my business these years. I should still be able to contract the pearl mussels. I want to try to see if I can make gambling mussels an industry. "

Xiang Yang was speechless at once, "It's only the first time you went to sea that you wanted to quit your job and do it alone?"

"It's not like doing it alone, in fact, I'm still eating with you, the captain." Wu Shiwen smiled.

Xiang Yang thought about it carefully. At present, there are basically no people in the seafood market such as pearl mussels, but there are actually a lot of sea areas rich in pearl mussels.

At present, the attitude of human beings towards pearl mussels is basically to hire pearl fishers at high prices to buy pearls in the sea. Pearl fishers often need to pry open hundreds of mussel shells to find a full and round valuable pearl. In fact, this is actually A great waste of resources.

Xiang Yang did not immediately agree to Wu Shiwen, but he did not explicitly refuse, "If I want to come to this sea area to salvage pearl mussels, I will definitely salvage a lot of pearl mussels. It is not a trivial matter to contract the pearl mussels on my ship. Don’t make a decision. Let's see the market and consider it carefully."
