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

Chapter 967 The price must be raised
"correct!"

"He Jian is planning to buy a large sea fishing boat that looks exactly like mine!"

Shi Jiehua pointed to He Jian's sea fishing boat not far away.

"The next time we go out to sea, we have to see how many people can reserve fishing spots. If there are not too many people who have reserved fishing spots, then the two new sea fishing boats of He Jian and I will be enough. If there are many people who have reserved fishing spots, then we can add the two old sea fishing boats of the two of us."

Shi Jiehua told Zhao Dahai what he had discussed with He Jian.

"what!"

"Uncle Shi."

"Why worry about no one booking a fishing spot?"

"The next few fishing trips will not be on boats that charge $200,000 per fishing spot. They will just be on ordinary, normal priced sea fishing boats."

"We caught so many fish last time, and especially this time we caught so many fish again. Wu Dabin and his people made a lot of money."

“The fishing spots are definitely very popular!”

Zhao Dahai was not worried about the fishing spot at all.

The two large new sea fishing boats have more than 80 or even close to 90 fishing spots. It sounds like a lot, but in fact it is not too much at all. The next time they go out to sea, the two new sea fishing boats of Shi Jiehua and He Jian will definitely not be enough, so they must bring the two old sea fishing boats.

"If we can really book so many fishing spots, we can make a lot of money on a single trip out to sea!"

Shi Jiehua was very happy.

The two new sea fishing boats have a total of 80 fishing spots, and if you add the two old sea fishing boats, there are a total of 120 fishing spots.

If all of them are ordered out, it will really bring in a lot of income.

"correct!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"In the past few days, He Jian and I have been discussing whether to increase the price of fishing spots for our sea fishing boat."

"What do you think about this matter?"

"Should we raise the price?"

Shi Jiehua looked at the matter of Zhao Dahai. He and He Jian had discussed it for more than ten days, but they each had their own reasons and had not been able to make up their minds.

"Originally, He Jian and I wanted to discuss this matter with you after we came to a conclusion. But neither of us could make up our minds and didn't know whether we had to raise the price or not."

Shi Jiehua shook his head and smiled bitterly. After thinking about this matter, he and He Jian sometimes felt that the price should be raised, and sometimes felt that it should not be raised.

"Why hesitate about this? The price will definitely increase."

"If the fishing spot fee is 200,000 yuan per fishing spot, we can keep the price unchanged, but we must raise the price of the fishing spots for the sea fishing boats that go out to sea on weekdays."

Did Zhao Dahai want to tell Shi Jiehua right away? His idea was very simple, that is, the price must be raised.

"what?"

"Why is this?"

Shi Jiehua was stunned for a moment.

It's not surprising that Zhao Dahai agreed to the price increase, but it's really unexpected that he would say so directly and decisively.

Even if the fishing fees go up, the cost will not increase much, so people like us can make more money.

However, it is hard to say whether the price increase will affect the number of fishing spots booked. If it does have an impact and the impact is big, it is better not to increase the price.

"Uncle Shi."

"I know what you're worried about. It's indeed possible. When the fishing fee goes up, it will affect the number of people who book fishing spots."

"But in my opinion, there is indeed an impact, but it will not be too much, not too big."

Zhao Dahai knew very well that the issue that Shi Jiehua and He Jian were most worried about was whether the price increase would affect the booking of fishing spots, and whether it would make those who originally wanted to book fishing spots give up.

There is definitely such a possibility, but it is not very likely.

"We have caught a lot of fish in the past few trips, especially this time. The fish we caught are enough to attract other people who want to book a fishing spot."

"Just now on He Jian's fishing boat, Wu Dabin, Wu Xiaobin and others caught five to six thousand kilograms of croaker each."

"Don't underestimate the size of the ship, but you can definitely earn hundreds of thousands of dollars on this trip."

"The fishing spots of other sea fishing boats are not much different from ours, but how much money can the people on their fishing boats make?"

"It's not acceptable if Wu Dabin, Wu Xiaobin, or the people on our sea fishing boats have caught so many fish and made so much money, but the fishing fees or fishing spots are the same as those of other boats."

"The higher fishing fees will discourage some people, but I don't think that number will be too large."

Zhao Dahai knew very well how attractive Shi Jiehua and He Jian's sea fishing boat, or to be more precise, the sea fishing boat jointly owned by himself, was.

People like Wu Dabin and Wu Xiaobin caught a lot of fish and made a lot of money. They are the best living advertisements and they don't have to worry about no one booking fishing spots.

Shi Jiehua was not unaware of the situation, but he was indeed a little worried and undecided.

"Uncle Shi!"

"When doing business, especially if you want to make more money, you can't avoid taking certain risks. Besides, this risk is actually very small."

Zhao Dahai smiled. It was impossible for Shi Jiehua and He Jian not to know or understand the truth he mentioned. They didn't even know how many times they had said it and discussed it. They just couldn't make up their minds.

"what!"

"Alright alright!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"You are absolutely right. We are doing business. If we want to make more money, we must take certain risks."

Shi Jiehua nodded involuntarily. He knew all the truths Dahai said, especially the fact that the fishing spots on the sea fishing boat owned by him and He Jian were very popular. However, he was a little worried that raising the price would affect the number of people who booked the fishing spots, or that he wanted to be 100% sure before doing this, but there was no such cheap thing in the world, and there was no such thing as 100% certainty without risk.

"Uncle Shi."

"The way you settled accounts with Uncle He Jian was wrong."

"Sea fishing boats are in great demand for fishing spots. Raising the price of fishing spots, as long as it's not outrageously expensive or too much, won't have much of an impact."

"For example, our original fishing spot was 20,000 yuan per person, but the price increased to 40,000 yuan per person." "People must think the price is too high and are unwilling to pay this money. When the price was 20,000 yuan, there were ten people who booked the fishing spot. When the price increased to 40,000 yuan, only five people booked the spot. But even if these five people booked the fishing spot, wouldn't we make the same amount of money as if ten people booked the fishing spot but only paid 20,000 yuan per fishing spot?"

Zhao Dahai reminded Shi Jiehua.

"Yo!"

"Isn't that the case?"

"If you think about it this way, there's really no need to worry too much about affecting people who have booked fishing spots."

Shi Jiehua slapped his forehead hard. He had never thought about what Zhao Dahai said when he discussed it with He Jian.

"Another very important thing is that our current sea fishing boats have caught so many fish, and so many people want to book our sea fishing boats to go fishing. If we don't raise the price, how will those peers view us?"

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he pointed to other fishing boats docked around the pier that were also engaged in deep-sea fishing.

Shi Jiehua was a little dumbfounded. What Zhao Dahai talked about was something that neither he nor He Jian had ever thought about.

Before cooperating with Zhao Dahai, there was not much difference between his and He Jian's sea fishing boats and other sea fishing boats in the surrounding areas. They followed almost the same routes, fished at almost the same fishing spots, and the fishing fees were almost the same.

But now the situation has changed dramatically. The fishing spots on his and He Jian's sea fishing boat are very popular. Some people have booked fishing spots in advance, and he has already booked a lot of them. If he has not bought a larger sea fishing boat, there will probably be no empty fishing spots on the next trip.

The fishing spots of my and He Jian's sea fishing boats are so popular, and at the same time, the fishing spots of other peers will definitely be affected. If the price of the fishing spot fee does not increase, other peers will definitely have opinions. On the contrary, if the fishing spot fee of myself and He Jian increases, other peers will not say anything about it.

If we have to be reasonable, it doesn't matter if He Jian and I don't raise the price, and no one can say anything. But if we really don't raise the price, these colleagues will definitely have opinions, and who knows, they may be very strong.

On the surface or in the short term, this will not have any impact at all, but in fact it will still have an impact in the long run. As long as a person is in an industry, it is impossible for him to just care about himself and not others.

Shi Jiehua is very experienced. After hearing what Zhao Dahai said, he immediately figured out the interests involved.

Shi Jiehua immediately realized that he didn't have many other choices. He had to raise the price, and the increase couldn't be too small.

"Uncle Shi!"

"We are in business to make money, especially to make more money."

"If the price goes up and there are too few people booking fishing spots, then just lower the price. There's no such thing as saving face or not."

Zhao Dahai laughed as he spoke.

Shi Jiehua's face flushed and he sighed. He and He Jian had really discussed this matter and felt that if the price was raised and not enough people were interested in the business, it would be embarrassing to lower the price.

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"I have discussed this matter with He Jian over and over again. I feel that if we really have to lower the price again, it will be a huge embarrassment to our grandma."

Shi Jiehua admitted that he and He Jian really cared about this matter, but in fact there was no need to do so. If they could make money, they would definitely raise the price, and if they couldn't make money, they would lower the price. This is a very normal thing no matter what industry or what they do.

"Zhao Dahai."

"How much do you think we should raise the price?"

Shi Jiehua made up his mind to raise the price.

"Thirty-two thousand or thirty-five thousand yuan per person for one fishing spot."

Zhao Dahai told Shi Jiehua his thoughts without thinking.

The fishing fee for a general sea fishing boat is between 20,000 and 25,000 yuan.

Some are quite high, reaching 30,000 yuan.

When Shi Jiehua and He Jian's sea fishing boats go out to sea to fish, they are not on the fishing boats and the routes do not change at all. The only difference is that the fishing spots are determined by themselves when they go out to sea, so they can catch more fish than others.

The price must be increased, but if the increase is too high, that won't work. But it can't be too low either. It must be the first-class among the surrounding sea fishing boats, or even the highest.

Shi Jiehua thought about it carefully for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhao Dahai's price, it was very suitable.

This price is not too high. Compared with the income of people who booked the fishing spots on the sea fishing boat for himself and He Jian for these two trips, this price is not only not high, but very low.

Such a price increase is what people like Wu Dabin and Wu Xiaobin who go fishing at sea are willing to pay. Even if they don't catch so many fish on a few trips out to sea and don't make much money, it is a loss that people like Wu Dabin and Wu Xiaobin are willing to bear.

"Row!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"This matter has been decided!"

"Thirty-five thousand dollars!"

"The next time we go out to sea, the fishing fee for the fishing boat will be 35,000 yuan per person."

Shi Jiehua acted decisively and made up his mind immediately that if the price was going to increase, he should raise it to 35,000 yuan instead of 32,000 yuan.

Shi Jiehua and Zhao Dahai discussed this most important matter and immediately put down a big stone in their hearts.

"correct!"

"Can we collect all the fish that Wu Dabin and Wu Xiaobin caught this time?"

Zhao Dahai pointed to the fish that were being weighed on the deck of He Jian's sea fishing boat next door.

Shi Jiehua nodded. He had already discussed this matter with Wu Dabing and Wu Xiaobin when he returned to the dock. It's not that all the fish have been reduced, but more than 80% of them have been collected. Only a few people who went out to sea to fish wanted to sell the fish themselves.

"People like Liu Gang, Liu Lei or Wu Weimin must want some of these fish."

“The price we sell it to them will be a little higher.”

"The croaker is different from other fish. These fish can be kept in cold storage for a long time. If the price is not good, you can wait a little longer."

"Pick out the croakers that weigh more than 10 kilograms and put them in your hands, and wait to sell them later."

"Recently, the fishing boats fishing in the nearby sea have not caught many fish, shrimps or crabs."

“The prices have gone up!”

"The fish I caught at sea had already increased in price by 30% when I sold them to Liu Lei."

"I think tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the price will have to increase by at least 50 percent."

When Zhao Dahai heard that Shi Jiehua and He Jian were willing to accept so many croakers, he immediately reminded them that the prices of fish, shrimps and crabs had been rising recently and they must not be sold at a low price.
