"Myna bird!"
"Tsk tsk~ You're really something!"
"We caught so many blue crabs on our sea trip, and they're all quite big!"
Wang Mazi looked at the orchid crab in front of him.
For a moment, one couldn't help but admire him.
Unexpectedly, Fang Hao, this scoundrel, actually has some skill in fishing at sea, and he always comes back with a good catch every time he goes out.
This time, they even caught dozens of kilograms of orchid crabs!
Even fishing boats that specialize in catching crabs only have this level of harvest.
Blue crabs are considered quite good seafood!
People in coastal areas generally like to eat this.
Whether it's steamed or stir-fried.
Those all have a unique flavor!
The selling price is not bad!
"Alright!"
"Stop flattering me."
"Hurry up and give me a price!"
Fang Hao waved his hand and said.
There's no time to waste!
Today, we caught quite a few orchid crabs with our nets, along with two groupers, some pomfret and dried fish, and even dozens of kilograms of other miscellaneous fish.
In general!
The harvest was decent.
I think it should still be able to make some money.
"Myna bird!"
"I'll give you orchid crabs for 3 yuan a pound!"
"Except for the few more expensive types of fish, all the others were bought together for 80 cents."
"What do you think?"
Wang Mazi immediately and quickly quoted a price.
Of these fish, only grouper and pomfret are slightly more expensive; the rest are just ordinary fish.
The advantage of miscellaneous fish is that there are more of them.
You should know that yesterday he bought over a thousand kilograms of mackerel and made a profit of several hundred yuan.
I felt so comfortable!
Right now, buying orchid crabs for three yuan a pound can still earn you some profit, at least several tens of yuan.
Even if it's not as good as yesterday's mackerel.
That way you can make a small profit!
After all, there's no such thing as making huge profits every day in business.
It's even less likely that there will be schools of fish every day.
"Three yuan and fifty cents."
"I'll keep the grouper to take home, and the other miscellaneous fish will be priced the way you said—"
Fang Hao spoke up directly.
He knew those small, unwanted fish wouldn't fetch any money.
The main issue is that the orchid crabs are more expensive; selling dozens of kilograms of orchid crabs for a few cents more per kilogram can add up to a considerable sum.
The price of orchid crabs is acceptable.
Some fishermen specifically catch these to sell.
A few hundred pounds of ordinary fish might not even be worth as much as a hundred pounds of orchid crab.
"This—three yuan and fifty cents is too high."
Wang Mazi immediately looked distressed.
The price of 3.5 yuan is indeed too high.
He doesn't make much money from wholesaling it.
After all, this thing isn't as expensive as a blue crab; a purchase price of three yuan is already considered quite good.
I just didn't expect Fang Hao to actually dare to ask for a price.
It went up by fifty cents all at once!
"Don't you dare act innocent after getting the benefit!"
"You must have made a good profit from yesterday's mackerel business, right?"
Fang Hao countered with a direct question.
Even at 3.5 yuan, the other party won't lose money.
It just means earning a little less.
Besides, the mackerel must have made a lot of money yesterday, so it's not a big deal if the orchid crabs make a little less money today.
"Alright!"
"Myth brother, since you've spoken..."
"Then it'll be three yuan and fifty cents!"
Wang Mazi finally nodded.
As a middleman, he still understood the principles.
Treat it all as maintaining a cooperative relationship!
As the saying goes, there are losses and gains!
Sometimes, making appropriate concessions can make the cooperative relationship last longer.
Moreover, offending Fang Hao is not a wise thing to do; he might not be able to work here anymore.
It was only a few dozen kilograms of orchid crabs in total.
Consider it a "filial piety" gift.
"That's right."
"You have to be decisive when doing business."
"There's always a chance to turn back next time —"
Fang Hao said with a smile.
Wang Mazi is indeed quite capable; he's flexible and adaptable, a natural businessman. No wonder he did well in his previous life.
He would swindle any ordinary person he could.
He knows when to yield and when to stand firm when facing someone who is not to be trifled with.
It's hard for someone like that not to get rich!
You see, some people are too honest to cheat others and therefore can't make money, while others are too inflexible and easily offend people.
Wang Mazi was someone who mingled among the lower rungs of society.
He's quick-witted and knows how to make money.
'
"Let's weigh it first!"
Wang Mazi shook his head helplessly.
You really can't make much money at this price.
It's purely about the seller saving face.
This is also for the sake of long-term cooperation in the future.
Fang Hao has recently become one of his "major clients".
Start by setting up the fish traps.
They sell a lot of seafood almost every day.
"75 catties and 6 taels of orchid crab."
"264.6 yuan!"
"These fish weigh 89 jin (2 catties)!"
"71.36 pieces."
-
"A total of 335.96 pieces."
Weighing doesn't take much time either.
It was weighed in no time.
Wang Mazi quickly calculated the number.
"Myna bird!"
"Please count the money."
Wang Mazi handed 336 yuan to Fang Hao.
This is the money for all the fish caught.
:
A trip to sea yields a profit of over three hundred yuan.
After deducting the cost of diesel fuel and labor, it's about the same; it's really just hard-earned money.
It's better than working a regular job!
If a fishing boat goes out to sea hoping to make a fortune.
It probably still depends on a stroke of luck.
For example, encountering a school of fish or catching a large net of yellow croaker or tuna might give you a chance to make a fortune.
"it is good."
Fang Hao had borrowed money from him.
Let's do a quick check of the amount.
There were three 100-yuan bills and some change.
This is what we got from a whole day at sea.
If you weren't lucky enough to catch dozens of kilograms of orchid crabs, your profits might have been reduced by half.
Fishermen's income.
I'm barely making ends meet.
Unless it's a large fishing boat.
Each time they go out to sea, they go to deep-sea areas or fishing grounds to fish, and one net can yield a full harvest.
But ordinary people can't afford to buy such large ships; only powerful investors and companies can afford to.
"Yankees!"
"Take a fish home and eat it too."
Fang Hao turned to Fang Hao and said.
I specially saved two good fish to eat.
Steamed grouper is excellent!
He also took it back to give to Song Yaxin to help her recover, since she had been through so much last night.
"Need not."
"Brother Hao, you can take it."
Fang Qiang quickly shook his head and refused.
It's obvious they're too embarrassed to ask for it.
A grouper wasn't cheap for him either, and he also didn't want to take too much of his childhood friend's benefits.
"Stop being so wishy-washy!"
"Hurry up and get it—"
Fang Hao urged again.
He kept one crab for himself and a few flower crabs!
In fact, people living by the sea basically eat seafood for every meal, whether it's fish, shrimp, crab, or shellfish.
People who live near mountains live off the mountains; people who live near the sea live off the sea.
This is perfectly normal.
After all, they were all things we caught ourselves.
If it were something you were buying with cash, you might not be so willing to part with it, since seafood isn't cheaper than meat.
Most people would probably choose to buy meat.
These days, having meat to eat is truly a good life.
"All right!"
Seeing that Fang Hao's tone left no room for doubt.
Fang Qiang had no choice but to nod and accept it.
I still felt a little grateful.
After all, he had recently benefited a lot from hanging out with Fang Hao, and his life was much better than before.
