Chapter 107: Boston Fish Farm

"Spotted prawns are $40, tiger spot is $30, king crab is $100, geoduck is $100, giant grouper is $30, red is $12, and sorrel is $240. US dollars, it’s useless to look at this, don’t allow it to be raised, Atlantic salmon is 40 US dollars, bluefin tuna is 60 to 200 US dollars, yellow fin is 45 US dollars, bigeye tuna is 65 US dollars, horse Su tuna is $100..." Sitting in the car bound for Boston, Jiang Hai looked at the form in his hand and muttered softly.

Edward Anderson, who was driving, glanced at Jiang Hai with a smile, then shook his head gently.

Ever since Jiang Hai wanted to raise expensive seafood that day, he has been studying these things like a demon.

He first checked some information on the Internet, and then went to the local fish market to ask, of course, there are also Chinese restaurants.

What he is muttering now is the data he has researched these days. Of course, the unit is kg. There is no such thing as catty in the US emperor, and if it is converted into pounds, Jiang Hai is too lazy to do so.

Aquatic products, especially seafood, have different locations and sizes, so the prices are naturally different.

He is talking about the normal average price, not the price of special products.

No matter what it is, as long as it is a premium product, the price is not generally high. Take the cod that Jiang Hai thinks is worthless as an example. As long as the cod exceeds one meter, it will cost thousands of dollars every day. It's one meter five, and it will sell for tens of thousands of dollars.

In normal times, the cod that can be shipped is only 30 centimeters long, that is, a little more than a catty, and two of them together are less than 1.5 kilograms. This is the gap, and these small ones, ultra-low temperature one pound It can be sold for 80 cents, and a pound of chilled one can be sold for 1 US dollar and 75 cents. Here, Jiang Hai also knows a term for the first time, chilled.

There are two ways to preserve fish. One is to freeze the fish completely at ultra-low temperature, that is, at a temperature of minus 60 degrees.

Although it will not be damaged, it is suitable for long-distance transportation, but it also destroys the original taste of the fish. Generally speaking, except for large-scale ocean-going fishing boats, few fishing boats do this. Of course, some cheaper ones Fish will do the same.

As for chilled, it is to use low temperature to freeze the fish for a while. This kind of freezing time is limited, and the quality can only be guaranteed for 12 days. However, if it is sold to a fishmonger on the 11th day, the fishmonger will not accept it. of.

Basically, this kind of fish was caught in the morning and sold in the afternoon. Only people want this kind of fish, and this kind of fish is basically expensive. If the price of a public does not exceed 30 dollars, Fishermen are not willing to throw fish in the chilled warehouse. You must know that the freezer is just like the freezing layer of the refrigerator. The electricity consumed, which is diesel in the sea, is not generally high.

Therefore, Jiang Hai has been looking for those rare sea fish in the market these days. As far as the current situation is concerned, the situation is not bad.

In fact, if you want to raise fish to make money, the best choice is cod, because Jiang Hai's fishing ground is next to Winthrop, and driving a boat may be faster than driving. After finishing the fish, sell them immediately. They are all chilled. A pound can be sold for 1 US dollar and 75 cents. Even if it is a pound, according to Edward Anderson’s idea, 10 million fish fry will be invested in the initial stage. , the survival rate is at least around 60%, there are also 6 million tails, and each tail costs 75 cents for a dollar, so that adds up to 10.5 million dollars, plus It should not be a problem to earn 12 million U.S. dollars a year from some supporting 'fish food'. However, it is necessary to dig out the fry money invested in it, the fry money for the second year, and the money for building an ecosystem. There are also workers' money, diesel money for boats, etc. The total investment in the fishing ground will be about 30 million US dollars. If you are lucky, you can pay back the cost in three years, and at least it can be stable in the fourth year. Half of the money can be earned. Of course, this half of the money has to be taxed.

But at least you don't have to worry about paying taxes until you get your money back. This is also one of the benefits of the US emperor. For these farmers and fishermen, they only charge the money they earn, not the money they earn back. Tax.

Originally according to Edward-Anderson's algorithm, Jiang Hai still has the money invested in this way. After all, the money does not need to be invested all at once. Secondly, Edward has recently surveyed the underwater fishery of Jiang Hai. Condition.

It is found that there are definitely a lot of fish schools under the water. After ten years of recuperation, the underwater ecosystem of Jianghai Sea is extremely complete.

The number of fish schools is quite impressive. Even if it is winter, there are still many fish underwater. According to Edward's preliminary estimate, there must be about 10 million dollars of fish in the water. Of course , which refers to the situation where it is to be exhausted.

With this 10 million yuan, not to mention just supporting the income of the fishing ground in the first year, even if it is all the buildings, Jiang Hai is enough.

But according to Edward Anderson's words, there is nothing wrong with doing this, but Jiang Hai is a little bit unwilling to admit it. He has always been thinking that he is also raising fish, and he still has golden fingers. , why can't you raise some fish that are so shiny? This is how he went to the market and the Huaxia Hotel to inquire.

Of course, in addition to these things, there are also some valuable things, but Jiang Hai has never thought about keeping them, at least not now. Among them, the most famous ones are sea cucumbers and abalones. There is no market. Although it has just sold in China, it is like fishermen in the Atlantic region. They know that the price of the same thing will double when sent to China, but how to send it there is a problem. Some top-notch goods , it can be shipped by air, but what about the Dazong deal?

All by air? That's bullshit... After being frozen at ultra-low temperature, and then thawed, the taste will be different, and it will not be sold at a high price. However, the fresh ones are only kept fresh for twelve days. The first day of catch, the second day The delivery will start in the next day. If you go by sea, you can cross the Atlantic Ocean, cross the Indian Ocean, reach the Pacific Ocean, and then turn a corner to Huaxia without any trouble. Although Hai has the ambition to raise a large number of top products, everything has to be done slowly.

At least he has to prove that he can raise such a good thing, and then decide whether to raise it after confirming the market.

But no matter what he decides to raise, he is determined to raise fry, but the quantity is a problem. At the same time, since he decided to raise fish, no matter what kind of fish to raise, the ecological circle is ready to start building, so today, Edward Anderson will Taking Jiang Hai to Boston, they are going to raise fish.

But not long after getting off the highway, they saw the Celtics' North Shore Garden Arena in the distance.

Looking at the arena over there, Jiang Hai couldn't help but think of the trial training that day, it was really funny, the ten-day short contract...

Of course, after that day, actually the third day after that day, when they lost at home to the Nets and on the road to the Wizards, Alfred Bradley and Brad Stevens Holding a guaranteed contract with an annual salary of 1.98 million, I came to Jiang Hai's home, hoping that Jiang Hai would agree to join, but let alone the annual salary of 1.98 million, even if the annual salary is 19.8 million! Uh...Maybe Jiang Hai will be tempted, but unfortunately without that zero, the gap is still huge.

What can he do without earning two million dollars? What's more, you have to pay half of the tax to the US imperialist government, which adds up to a million dollars. Do you lack this money? joke! At that time, it would be more than this number for him to go around in the sea.

So in the end Jiang Hai still didn't agree. The two people who came here expressed their helplessness, but they said that they would not give up. Whether they would give up or not, Jiang Hai didn't care, because the New Year would come soon.

There is really nothing good about the New Year in the United States. It is not as interesting as Christmas. The major competitions and the like do not feel like a battle of focus. That is, some TV stations will hold some New Year’s Eve concerts. If Jiang Hai is In New York, you can go to Times Square to see a concert, then pick up a girl, count down, maybe mix in a kiss at the end of the new year or something.

But obviously, he didn't have the intention to go, so this year's New Year's Eve, he just stayed at home to cross the New Year's Eve.

With the arrival of January, the Boston area has also come to the coldest time of the year. After Bell came back, Robbins and others had to end their vacation early and started to get busy. As for John and Louis, After celebrating the New Year, they returned to the place they were supposed to go. Although Jiang Hai's manor was very interesting, they still had things to evaluate after all.

And Edward and Jiang Hai also have something to do, that is, they are going to buy aquatic plants.

The basic composition of the ecological food chain, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat dried shrimps, dried shrimps eat aquatic plants.

Fish farming in Boston, unless you raise those very strange fish, otherwise, basically as soon as the spring begins, that is, in March, the fish fry will be released, and the fish fry will eat when they reach the sea. Of course, they can be fixed. They need to feed, but they also need to hide to avoid being eaten by big fish, so when the fry are released, the ecological environment must have been established.

As the most basic of all food chains, aquatic plants need to be put in first. After the aquatic plants grow for about a month, the shrimp seedlings, crab seedlings, shellfish seedlings, etc. should be put in. After these seedlings grow for another month, the fish fry should be put in.

However, because the seawater in March is still very cold, when the fish fry are released, they need to be released with larger individuals, not too small larvae. Learn by old age.

When Jiang Hai was thinking about what to raise in his heart, the car also slowly drove into the port in the city center of Boston where Jiang Hai had been, but this time he went in another direction.

From a distance, Jiang Hai saw a large area of ​​grid boxes, and this is where fish fry wholesale in Boston.
