Xu Yin raised her eyebrows. She thought that this bluefin tuna should be valuable, but she didn't expect it to be so valuable.
However, the auction did not get the money so quickly, and she just wanted a quick decision, so she asked Boss Jin: "If I sell it to a hotel, what is the highest price that Uncle Jin thinks I can sell for?"
"ah?"
Boss Jin and He Zhengyi looked at each other, obviously confused as to why she asked.
"Why do we take action directly when we can auction it? This would be such a disadvantage."
"Yes, Yinyin, are you waiting for the money? I can lend it to you first. The fresh food auction is not like art, it won't take long."
Xu Yin said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I would get such a big harvest from my first sea fishing. I was anxious to go back and tell my mother the good news. And she didn't know that I came to the main island. She thought that I was still at sea, so she didn't come back for a long time. She will be worried when we go back, so I think it’s better to sell it to the hotel at a fixed price.”
The gap between the fixed price and the auction is too big. Even if the highest purchase price is 3,000 yuan per kilogram, and the total is settled at 600 kilograms, it will only be 1.8 million yuan. If it's auctioned, it's very likely to reach seven to eight million. If you're lucky, tens of millions is not impossible.
Boss Jin felt sorry for Xu Yin.
Xu Yin herself doesn’t think that the auction may fail. This is not a work of art. If it fails, the worst thing is that she will continue to collect it. This is seafood! Seasonal fresh food! Even if it can be stored for several months after proper handling, it is still not as fresh as freshly caught fish.
At the beginning of the month, there were big guys spending a lot of money to taste it, but in the middle of the month, there may not be that much excitement anymore.
It's better to sell it at a fixed price, and it's the most peaceful thing to get the money.
After all, trial and error also requires courage. She is now a pauper with only 3,000 yuan in her pocket, and she cannot afford to take this risk.
On the other hand, she is also worried about paying a high price and being chased by reporters for interviews. People all over the country will know how much money she has in her hands. She does not want such high-profile worries at all. She should leave them to hotels that are eager to expand their reputation. .
On the first day of sea fishing, she earned two million, and Xu Yin felt that she was satisfied enough.
The person involved didn't feel any pity at all. After a few words of emotion, Boss Jin readily let the finance department arrange the payment.
The hotel took the initiative to bear part of the tax. In the end, the amount transferred to Xu Yin's account was 1.58 million, which was an auspicious number.
"Xiao Xu, this is my business card, with my email address on it. I heard that your Xingzhou Island is building a base station, and it will be connected to the Internet soon. If you catch something good next time, send me a photo, and I will give it to you as soon as possible. You quote a price and deliver it if you are satisfied.”
Although Xu Yin plans to register a live broadcast account after getting online, live broadcast fishing and selling catches, but live broadcast has just begun to become popular, and it is basically crowded with people watching. Netizens may not necessarily buy it. It is really good if the hotel is willing to accept it. This saves her from having to think of another way to find sales.
"Thank you, Uncle Jin!"
"Why are you so polite! If you have money, everyone can make it! We can be considered partners!"
He Zhengyi wanted to stay and see how such a large bluefin tuna was auctioned. He heard that some big bosses participated online and were notarized throughout the process. He wanted to see it and had no intention of going back immediately.
There is another reason that I haven't mentioned yet: This girl drives a small diesel fishing boat, just like the speedsters drive their motorcycles to drift. After being ashore for a while, I still have lingering fears when I think about it.
Seeing that he didn't go back yet, Xu Yin went to the self-service teller machine at the entrance of the hotel to withdraw some money, and gave him a big red envelope to thank him for the introduction.
Although she could still find him without him leading the way, the timing might not be as seamless as before.
She sold the fish, received the money, and was fine. She was about to go home when she was stopped by Li Aiqin's family.
"Comrade Xiao Xu, are you done with your work? Let's go for a walk! Let's have tea first and have a light meal together at noon!"
Xu Yin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Auntie, you have also seen that I have just returned from a sea trip, and my clothes are still smelly of fish, so it is not convenient for me to go to a restaurant. And there are two shrimp pots on my boat to deal with..."
"Xiao Xu! Xiao Xu!"
Before Xu Yin finished speaking, Boss Jin hurriedly chased them out: "Zhengyi said you still have two shrimp pots on the boat? Why didn't you tell them earlier! Send them over together! I'll find someone to get them with you."
Li Aiqin said happily: "Let's go and have a look. I heard that you went out to sea early in the morning to catch it? You are really capable! Unfortunately, it is too early, and the nearby seafood food stalls that are processed on behalf of others have not opened yet. Otherwise, we I’m just asking you to buy some, and it would be good to find a processing store to prepare it and eat it now.”
His son took over the conversation: "It's okay if the processing shop is not open. We can find those restaurants to process it on our behalf. At the worst, we'll have to pay more."
Even if the seafood the savior picked up online didn't look good and they might not buy it if they had to pick and choose it, they didn't care at the moment. They weren't really hungry for the seafood, they just wanted to repay the favor.
Li Aiqin and his family followed Xu Yin to the pier, and trotted behind them to keep up with several hotel kitchen staff. Not to mention the grandeur, they still attracted the attention of many tourists.
"Where are you going?"
"Going to the dock?"
"Are there any fishing boats arriving to buy seafood?"
"Let's go! Let's go together!"
When she arrived at the place where Xu Yin parked her boat, there were already many people following her.
Some people really want to buy some fresh seafood and go to a processing store to have a meal later, which is much cheaper than going to a restaurant;
Some people have a herd mentality. Since so many people are running to the pier, there must be good things at the pier;
Some people haven't even figured out what so many people are running to the pier for, and they just follow them just to join in the fun.
In any case, it is still quite spectacular to see a large group of people rushing to the pier.
The fishermen loading and unloading goods at the dock were all confused: "What happened? Why are so many people suddenly here?"
Until Xu Yin jumped on the fishing boat, picked up the two shrimp pots and carried them to the shore. The tourists who followed her crowded around and asked about the price:
"How much does a pound of live shrimp cost?"
"Are there any crabs? How much per pound?"
"Wow! There's a big lobster! How much is a pound of big lobster? I want this one!"
"I want bamboo shrimp! Give me a pound of bamboo shrimp!"
"How much is a pound of Pipi shrimp? I want two pounds."
"Hey! There are also stone dogs? This fish is usually not easy to catch, but it actually threw itself into the trap and got into the shrimp pot? I want these two big stone dogs!"
Only then did the fishermen realize that someone had gone out to sea in the morning and caught two cages of shrimp and sold them here.
The key is, people have come to the pier to sell in the past, but the business has never been so good!
But if you take a closer look, you can see that the quality of the shrimp in Xu Yin’s shrimp cage is really good!
There are bamboo shrimps, Pipi shrimps, and live shrimps. There is a shrimp pot with a few domineering big ones, with orchid shells and waving their big clams around arrogantly. They are not difficult to catch. Big lobster? Those smaller than this can be sold in hotels for hundreds.
It made them all jealous.
Whose daughter is this? I made a big profit early in the morning.
Little did they know that Xu Ying had just received more than 1.5 million yuan, and the total catch in these two shrimp pots was less than a fraction of the big golden gun.
Xu Yin also learned that the harvest from the two shrimp pots was not small, which showed that the homemade fishing bait was really useful.
Since so many tourists wanted to buy, she sold the catch in one shrimp pot to the hotel, poured out the other one for tourists to pick, and she took the rest home to eat herself.
