Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 961 The tip of the needle versus the awn of wheat

"what?"

"Ding Dawen."

"Did Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang say that the price of fish will increase?"

Yang Qin immediately looked at Ding Dawen.

"I'm not too clear about this matter."

"Neither Zhao Dahai nor Ding Xiaoxiang mentioned this matter. They just said that these fish should not be sold for the time being and wait for them to come over later."

Ding Dawen shook his head. Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang did not mention the price increase. They just said that the fish should not be sold for the time being.

"Hey!"

"What else is there?"

"Ding Xiaoxiang must be planning to raise the price, otherwise why would she not sell fish?"

Yang Qin sighed.

There is no need to talk about this matter anymore. Ding Xiaoxiang must have known what fish, shrimps and crabs looked like, so she shouted to Ding Dawen not to sell fish and wait for Ding Xiaoxiang to come before making a decision.

Ding Xiaoxiang will definitely have to raise her price now, but when I talked to Ding Dawen yesterday, we hadn't decided how much.

Yang Qin was very troubled. She and Liu Lei had originally thought of seizing this opportunity to see if they could buy some of the fish at the usual price. But now it seemed that this was simply impossible.

"what!"

"Liu Lei."

"Yang Qin."

"Your idea will definitely fail!"

"If we catch fish one day earlier, we may still have a chance. But we all noticed yesterday that it is harder to catch fish in the sea. We caught fewer fish, including sea bass in the island and reef foam area. I just asked around at the pier and found that the number of fish caught by these fishing boats is decreasing."

"Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang must have known about this. Now we just need to see how much it will increase!"

Shi Guangming laughed out loud. As soon as Liu Lei and Yang Qin started talking, he and Zhao Shi knew what was going on and what they were planning, but they just stood by and watched the fun.

"Correct!"

"Zhao Dahai noticed this yesterday and decided to raise the price."

"If you two want to buy fish now, you will definitely have to pay more. You can still buy it one day earlier."

Zhao Shi took a puff of his water pipe with a smile.

"Hey!"

"What on earth is going on? Why did Brother Dahai and Sister Xiaoxiang react so quickly?"

Liu Lei had no choice.

"what!"

"What's so strange about this? Zhao Dahai goes fishing every day, and he knows exactly how many fish he has caught."

"If I didn't have this big fishing boat, I wouldn't have a good solution and could only sell as much as I caught. But now things are different, right? With this big fishing boat, I have to keep the fish I catch on the boat. I can't sell all of them."

Shi Guangming admired Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang very much. They bought such a large sea boat, which was very useful. The extra money earned from the lower price increase of fish, shrimp and crabs this time was enough to buy such a fishing boat. The cost was recovered immediately and the rest was all profit, not to mention that it could be used at other times.

Liu Lei and Yang Qin thought about it and nodded. It was true. Without such a large fishing boat, Zhao Dahai would have to sell the fish he caught every day. At most, he could only sell them every other day. Now it is different. The fish he caught can be kept for at least ten days, half a month or even a month. This is why he has the opportunity to make money now.

"Liu Lei."

"Yang Qin."

"Don't worry about the price. It's definitely going to go up, and I estimate it will go up by at least 30%. There's no point in thinking about that. You might as well think about how many fish to get this time."

Shi Guangming smiled. Liu Lei and Yang Qin wanted to buy these fish at a lower price. It was absolutely impossible for Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang to raise the price, and it would definitely be a 30% increase or even more. What Liu Lei and Yang Qin had to do was to think carefully about how many fish to take this time.

Liu Lei and Yang Qin looked at each other. Shi Guangming's meaning was very simple. If they took too few fish this time, the price might go up even higher when they came back in a few days. If they took more fish this time, they could wait a longer time before coming back to get fish, and maybe they could survive the price increase this time.

"Our say doesn't count in this matter. Even if we want to take more, Brother Dahai and especially Sister Xiaoxiang will not agree. They must be thinking about keeping as many fish as possible in their hands now."

Liu Lei was very troubled. The bottom line was that Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang bought a large sea boat and had a place to raise fish. And from the current situation, the chances of raising fish alive were very high and the risk was very low. Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang did not need to sell the fish in a hurry.

"correct!"

"Ding Dawen."

"When was the first batch of fish raised on the fishing boat?"

Liu Lei turned his head and looked at Ding Dawen who was standing next to him.

Ding Dawen thought about it and told Liu Lei that it had been almost twenty days since the first batch of fish arrived.

"Liu Lei."

"This fishing boat is quite good. The live water tank is equipped with the appropriate equipment, so it is not difficult to keep the fish alive. The groupers we caught 20 days ago are not only alive and well now, but they are also not affected at all. The ones that should be fat are still fat."

Ding Dawen is very clear about the condition of the groupers on the fishing boat. One is how long they have been raised, and the other is that he has to check every day to see if these fish have become thinner.

"Then there is nothing we can do about it."

Liu Lei shook his head. The fishing boat Zhao Dahai bought could not only raise fish for a long time, but also prevent the fish from getting thinner during the raising process.

"The fishing boat that Zhao Dahai bought is not comparable to those fish farmed in clay boxes near the coast. First, the live water boat on the fishing boat is very large and very deep, plus the equipment is powerful. Besides, this fishing boat is not always parked at the dock. In fact, most of the time it is parked in the open sea."

"The water quality of the seawater is definitely not comparable to the grouper bands on the seabed, but it is definitely first-rate."

"If it were any other fish, it might not be easy for them to adapt, but groupers are bottom fish, and they are relatively large and have strong vitality, so they can adapt to the live water tank very easily."

"Throw some small fish in there. The groupers raised in the live water pool of your Hongyun Restaurant can often be kept for a month or even longer. For Zhao Dahai's fishing boat, let alone a month, even three to five months or even a year and a half will not be a problem."

Shi Guangming pointed to the pier as he spoke.

Liu Lei and Yang Qin turned their heads and saw Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang walking towards them.

Ding Dawen immediately left the cockpit and went to the deck to pick up Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai.

pier.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang saw Liu Lei’s seafood cart at a glance.

"what!"

"Why did Liu Lei come so early today? Luckily, I told Ding Dawen yesterday that the fish cannot be sold until we two arrive!"

"Otherwise, Liu Lei and I would have definitely taken our fish away."

As soon as Zhao Dahai saw Liu Lei's seafood truck parked early at the dock in front of the big fishing boat, he knew what the plan was. The prices of fish, shrimp and crabs must have increased, and he wanted to rush to buy more fish before Zhao Dahai could react.

"Humph!"

"It was 100% Yang Qin's idea."

"Fortunately, we reacted quickly, otherwise we would have lost a lot!" Ding Xiaoxiang didn't need to know that it must have been the idea of ​​her good friend Yang Qin, who wanted to buy as much fish as possible while she and Zhao Dahai didn't realize that the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs had increased. Zhao Dahai didn't tell Ding Dawen yesterday. According to the recent habit of selling fish, Liu Lei came and took away the fish, and the price was exactly the same as the last time. She and Zhao Dahai would definitely lose a lot of money.

"no!"

"I have to be careful of Yang Qin."

Ding Xiaoxiang frowned, wondering how to solve this problem.

"What can we do about it? You can't just stay here and watch."

Zhao Dahai smiled. Ding Xiaoxiang was thinking that she would have to come here to make decisions and set prices every time she sold fish. However, Ding Xiaoxiang did not only have one thing to do. It was impossible for her to come here every day to keep an eye on it. She had to go out to sea to fish, so she could not take care of this matter.

"How can this be done?"

"The prices of fish, shrimp and crabs change every day, and what we sell are valuable goods. Even a difference of 10% to 5% will result in a lot of money."

"Not to mention the extra money, the difference will be at least tens of thousands of dollars a month."

"correct!"

"How about we rent a house in Shijiao Village? Or how about we just buy a house?"

Ding Xiaoxiang pondered for a while and suddenly came up with an idea.

"what?"

"Why is this? Why would you rent a house here? What's the use of it?"

Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment.

Now that we have a house, can Ding Dawen go to the shore to sleep and rest when he returns here?
This would definitely be more comfortable, but it was not feasible. There were a lot of fish on the fishing boat, which were very valuable, so they had to keep someone. Ding Xiaoxiang and I invited Ding Dawen to the fishing boat. Did we feel relieved that Ding Dawen was a member of our family?
"I rented a house and installed a telephone. Even if I didn't have time to come here, Dawen would be able to find me. Or, before selling fish every day, Dawen would call me and ask about the price of the fish that day."

The more Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it, the more she felt that this was a good idea.

"what!"

"That's right!"

"This is indeed a good idea. In this way, Liu Lei and Yang Qin will not be able to take advantage of our loopholes."

Zhao Dahai nodded immediately.

It is really impossible for Ding Xiaoxiang to come here every day to watch the fish being sold. In fact, there is no need to do so. Ding Wen just needs to set the price and he can sell the fish.

Renting a house doesn't cost much, and it doesn't cost much to make a phone call. Ding Dawen only needs to call Ding Xiaoxiang before selling fish every day to confirm the price of today's fish.

"Row!"

"I'll talk to Grandpa Shi about this later and find a place to rent a house."

"correct!"

"Aren't there some small shops by the dock? Why don't we just open a shop here? Some things, such as the Antarctic shrimp bricks you need when you go out to sea, or other things can be temporarily placed in this shop. Anyway, the rent of this shop is not a big deal for us."

"With a shop like this, sometimes when Da Wen or you come back from sea, there is a place to sit down and rest, drink some hot tea or chat with others."

Ding Xiaoxiang glanced at the row of shops by the dock. Renting a house in the village was far less convenient than owning a shop at the dock. For other people going out to sea, owning a shop like this would increase costs, which was unnecessary, but it was very necessary for her.

"Row!"

“It’s really nice to get a store.”

Zhao Dahai nodded without thinking. His speedboat would return to Langtou Village every time he went out to sea, but the Dahai ship was docked at the Shijiao Village Pier. He would come here very often, so he definitely needed a place to stay.

Ding Dawen walked to the bow of the ship and called out loudly to Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang boarded the big fishing boat and walked into the cab.

"Yo!"

"Yang Qin."

"What are you doing here so early? It's of no use at all!"

“How many fish do you want?”

"But let me be frank with you, the price of fish has gone up today!"

Ding Xiaoxiang raised four fingers as she spoke, telling Yang Qin that the price of fish had increased by 40% today.

"what!"

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"Forty percent? This is clearly an attempt to steal money!"

Yang Qin's eyes widened and she looked at Ding Xiaoxiang in disbelief.

When Ding Dawen was reluctant to sell fish, he knew that Ding Xiaoxiang's arrival would cause the price to go up, but he didn't expect the price to go up by 40% all at once.

"What's so strange about this? The amount of fish, shrimp and crabs your Hongyun Restaurant has received must have decreased in recent days, right?"

"I asked my dad last night, and the amount of fish, shrimp and crabs received at the dock has decreased by one third."

"You are all businessmen, and you know very well what will happen next. The prices of ordinary fish, shrimps and crabs will increase by 30% or even more."

"It's impossible for a fish like grouper to only increase by 30 percent, right?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was confident.

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"What you said makes no sense at all."

"With fewer fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea, the price will definitely go up, but it can't be increased by 30 or 40 percent all at once, right?"

“We’re not waiting for the price to go up 30 or 40 percent before we get the fish.”

"Even if the price is going to increase, it will only be 10% today, or even 5%."

"You're going to get a 40 percent raise just by opening your mouth?"

Yang Qin immediately refuted.

"Correct!"

"You're right. It's impossible for the price to increase by 30 or 40 percent all at once."

"That depends on how many fish you caught today."

"For fish weighing several thousand kilograms, we will calculate based on today's price increase of only 10%. If you want to buy fish weighing several thousand kilograms, that won't work."

"We must definitely calculate the price increase of fish, shrimp and crabs in the next few days."

How could Ding Xiaoxiang not know what Yang Qin and Liu Lei were planning? If they only took a few hundred kilograms of fish today, they would definitely calculate it based on today's price. But if they wanted to take several thousand kilograms or even ten thousand kilograms of fish, they couldn't calculate it that way.
