Golden Fishery

Because the blue marlin was to be sold, the boat did not return to the fishing ground, but went directly to the port of St. Johns.

There are professional fishing companies stationed in important fishing ports on the coast of North America. These fishing companies are not small workshops that collect seafood casually, but specialize in the purchase of bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, halibut, bigeye tuna, golden thread bream, A company of rare fish species such as Atlantic blue marlin and giant marlin.

Although the Port of St. Johns is a well-known large port in North America, due to natural reasons, rare tuna such as bluefin and yellowfin tuna can be caught in the fishing grounds here, so there are only three fishing companies stationed here.

These fishing companies are actually intermediaries. After they buy the rare and valuable fish, they are responsible for airlifting them to Tokyo. The Japanese are the largest consumers of the rare and valuable fish.

The Farewell sailed into the port, and fishing boats of different lengths were leaning against the pier and fluctuating with the waves.

The sky is bright, most fishermen will be ready to go out, and the fishing boats for night fishing will return to the port, so this time of the day is the busiest fish market in the port.

When driving to the pier where the fishery company is located, Qin Shiou heard people constantly asking each other, the voices were noisy, like a morning market.

"Hey Pearson, how was the harvest today? We caught a batch of mackerel and barely broke our bills."

"Oh, Jackson, you're in luck. Damn it, we met Waterloo last night and almost hit the rocks! Damn it! Damn it!"

"Anthony, are you going to sea now? Where are you going today? How about going together."

"Forget it, Kerry, you are not only a bastard but also a disaster, stay away from me. I don't want to return empty-handed today."

...

Amidst the noise, Qin Shiou discussed with Hamlei and decided to sell the fish to the most reputable Golden Fish Hook Fishing Company.

The characteristic of this company is that the rating is fair. Although the price has no advantage over the other two, it only needs to give a reasonable grade to the fish. That's it.

For example, tuna and large swordfish are not sold at a uniform price, because the fat content of these fish is different, and the body shape is also different, so the meat quality must be graded, and the price is set according to the grade.

All fishing boats, large and small, are moored at the wharf of the fishing company. Cruise ships like the Farewell are rare, so as soon as they got on board, a middle-aged man came up and waved his hand to signal them to leave.

"Rich guy, this is a place to sell fish. It's not a place where you dock luxury yachts to play with women!" Someone yelled at Qin Shiou and others on the fishing boat, and then many people laughed. It seems that the Canadian people hate the rich Also serious.

The polarization of wealth in North America is even worse. Although the governments of the two countries have always emphasized fairness, justice and non-discrimination, in fact the rich still discriminate against the poor, which has also caused conflicts between the two sides.

Therefore, in the big cities of Canada and the United States, we often see a clear distinction between rich areas and slums, in order to avoid direct contact between the two sides and conflicts. And places like fishing ports. They are all low-educated and rude fishermen. When they see someone driving a yacht into their territory, they will naturally speak ill of each other.

Qin Shiou shrugged. He went to the deck and said to the middle-aged man who was waving: "Man, we are here to sell fish, blue marlin, a big blue marlin, are you not interested?"

After hearing this, the middle-aged man jumped down. He wore a gold uniform with the Goldfish Hook Company logo and initials on it.

The Atlantic blue marlin Winnie caught was really big enough. The fish compartment of the Farewell was a little too full, so the fish heads had to be cut off in advance. Otherwise, just remove the gills and internal organs. A fish head is worth a lot of money.

When the middle-aged man saw the size of the blue marlin, a smile appeared on his face, he reached out and punched Qin Shiou on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Good luck, buddy, did you catch this?"

Qin Shiou said proudly: "No, my girlfriend caught it. You know, it's too difficult. A girl has no skills to catch such a big guy."

Wei Ni simply washed up and walked out of the bathroom. It was cold at sea in the morning. She put on Qin Shiou's windbreaker, which added a little heroism to her. Her hair was combed into a ponytail and hung behind her head, her teeth were bright and radiant, and when she arrived on the deck, she immediately stunned those rude fishermen.

Soon, whistles and strange calls sounded one after another.

Qin Shiou introduced Wei Ni to the middle-aged man, he blinked in surprise, and said: "It's so surprising, such beautiful ladies, I thought they should choose bags and perfumes in Dior and Chanel stores, I didn't expect you to be able to catch such a savage fish."

Soon a hook was transferred, the middle-aged man tied the noose to the tail of the fish, tightened the hook, and the big fish was pulled out.

As the blue marlin was pulled up, the surrounding whistling lessened and was replaced by gasps and exclamations.

After the fish was hoisted, it was weighed first, and then someone came up and cut off a piece of fish to have a look, and then sent it for testing. The middle-aged man who received the result said to Wei Ni: "The quality is 3a, and the price is 28." Yuan, the total is 655.8 pounds, so it is 18362.4 yuan, do you have any questions?"

Qin Shiou shook his head. This is a bit different from the price given by Hamley. Although Hamley is not a professional, he is an experienced fisherman, and he is very accurate in grasping the price of big fish.

Hamley immediately explained to Qin Shiou, saying: "You can't expect these fishing companies to charge you with the price in Tokyo, and they still have to sell it to make money."

Qin Shiou nodded suddenly, and Hamre continued: "If you have your own channels, you can go to Tokyo to participate in the auction. This fish may fetch 40,000 yuan."

"There is also an auction for fish?" Qin Shiou asked in surprise.

Hamre said with a smile: "Of course, the fishery auction is also very intense. I remember that at the beginning of this year, the Japanese sushi chain ura spent nearly 2 million Canadian dollars to auction a 500-pound top-quality bluefin tuna."

The receptionist of Goldfish Hook heard what Hamley said, and continued: "But that is actually very difficult. I have read the information about that fish, and its meat quality rating is 3s. There has been no such fish produced in North America in the past ten years. It’s a big fish with high quality meat.”

Qin Shiou was thoughtful, Dalan and Xiaolan in his home didn't know what grade the meat was, but they were transformed by the energy of Sea God.

Then he shook his head again. Anyway, he was not short of money, so Big Blue and Little Blue would not sell them. They would specialize in breeding fish. Later, they would find female bluefin tuna and breed them, so as to start a bluefin tuna breeding by themselves.

Although the price made Qin Shiou dissatisfied, it has already attracted the envy of the surrounding fishermen.

When the blue marlin was hoisted, it attracted many fishermen to watch. After that, more and more people stared at Winnie with fiery eyes, which made Winnie feel cold all over.

Soon someone called out, "Hey girl, where did you catch this fish? Can you give me the coordinates?"

"Damn kid! She caught such a good fish, she must be a good catcher!"

"God is so unfair. We go through the wind and waves every day, but in the end we can't even earn back the gas money. Some people can catch a big fish just by going out to sea!"

Later, it was learned that the meat quality of this fish was rated as 3a, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. (to be continued)
