Chapter 993: Transported to the Island Country

After the two joked for a while, Jiang Hai led Pula Walton towards the cold storage.

Jiang Hai's home is very big, really big, including the cold storage underneath, which is equally big. The cold storage is divided into five rooms, each with a different purpose. The temperatures are respectively five degrees above zero, zero degrees, and seven degrees below zero. Five degrees: minus 15 degrees, minus 30 degrees plus nitrogen. These five warehouses have different temperatures and handle different things.

It's like about five degrees, which is to put some seasonal vegetables and fruits. There is a vegetable greenhouse in Jiang Hai's manor, and there are also many fruit trees, such as blueberries, cherries, which are American cherries. This thing is now available in China, but the price is slightly more expensive. It is not very expensive in the United States. There is also cranberry, a small round fruit with bright red skin that grows on low vines. This thing is more popular in China. There are more dried fruits, but there are a lot of them in the north of the United States.

It mainly grows in the swamps and wetlands of North America. It is said that the total planting area in the world is less than 40,000 acres. No one knows whether this is the case. In addition, there is also the snake fruit, which is a particularly red and floury apple.

Of course, there are also grapes, but this thing has to be seasonal.

After these vegetables and fruits are ripe, or if they are picked but not eaten, Jiang Hai will put them in the warehouse at five degrees, where they can be stored for a few days, and the one at around zero degrees is the cold storage room.

Such as some lobsters, abalone, etc. This warehouse is basically a warehouse for precious seafood.

There are many water tanks in this warehouse. Because the temperature is kept at zero degrees, the water does not freeze, but it can also keep the seafood in a fresh state to the maximum extent.

The temperature at minus 7 degrees Celsius is specially for beef. Good beef needs to be sour when eaten, and the cold room at minus 7 degrees Celsius is just right, so this is the place specifically for beef. The temperature at minus 15 degrees Celsius is the cold room. It's just like the refrigerator at home, where all the frozen chickens and meats are stored, and at minus 30 degrees, it's a nitrogen cold room.

Everyone knows that nitrogen can be cooled quickly. When it turns into a liquid, it has a temperature of nearly minus 200 degrees. Naturally, there is no minus 200 degrees here in Jiang Hai. Basically, the function of nitrogen is to cool down quickly.

For example, some top-quality beef and seafood can only be kept chilled for about one to ten days, which means they must be sold within one week to ten days. If they cannot be sold, the chilled ones will be spoiled. Of course, some people say that chilled food is actually called chilled food after it has been frozen and melted. This is a very common thing in China.

In some supermarkets, you see some chilled beef, 90% of which is freshly melted, and then it is called chilled.

But in fact, this is a lie. Real chilled meat is really fresh after being killed and then wrapped with a layer of crisp ice to maintain the freshness of the meat itself. This is called chilled, and this room is dedicated to In order to preserve those high-end products that cannot be chilled.

It is estimated that the freshly slaughtered cow or freshly caught fish cannot be sold within ten days, so just bring it over and spray the phlegm, and the beef and fish will condense instantly, and it will take almost no more than a few seconds. It will form lumps, thus maintaining the texture of the fish and beef to the maximum extent. After melting, although there is no way to sell it as truly chilled, it is still more valuable than frozen.

When these five warehouses were built, they were presided over by Edward Anderson and Robbins Garcia. They thought the same way at the beginning, but basically only the first four warehouses can be used now. Jiang Hai’s Beef and seafood are supplied to the United States and even Europe. Of course, the royal family of Dubai is also included. His beef is only available when the demand exceeds supply, but never when it cannot be sold out.

Jiang Hai brought Pula Walton to the chilled cold storage. As the door of the cold storage opened, the lights also turned on. Then in Pula Walton's eyes, a huge tuna appeared. Appeared in front of her.

"Oh my god, this is... tuna? Or a bluefin, my god, how big is this?" Looking at the fish in front of him, Pula Walton was a little incoherent, with a look on his face. He looked at Jiang Hai in surprise and asked.

"The body length is 487 and the weight is 692." Looking at Pula Walton, Jiang Hai also smiled. He knew that this number was indeed amazing, a new global record! However, he knew that this fish was just an ordinary bluefin in his manor. He remembered that he had seen bigger ones when he was diving.

"Oh my god, my god, this is really a big guy." Touching the body of the fish, Pula Walton muttered with a look of shock. She often dealt with these big guys, but to be honest, This was the first time she had seen such a big one.

"What are you going to do?" After patting the big fish on the head, Pula Walton looked at Jiang Hai.

"I have to ask you this. It's already the second day since I caught it yesterday. Can Walmart collect it? Otherwise, what else is there?" He shrugged. Jiang Hai really didn't understand. For these things, it would be better to ask Pula Walton.

"Walmart will definitely accept it, but to be honest, selling it to us is a fool's errand. This fish cannot be sold by the pound, but can only be sold in whole pieces. In the United States, this fish is only worth about $400,000. About." Shaking his head, Pula Walton said directly.

When he heard her quotation, Jiang Hai also curled his lips. Although four hundred thousand dollars for a fish was a lot, it was definitely not much.

"But if we go to the island country, this fish can be sold at least for this amount!" Pula Walton said while making a gesture of "2". Seeing her gesture, Jiang Hai also raised his eyebrows, two hundred Thousands of dollars of knife? That’s really good!

"Then what are you waiting for? We should send this thing to where it should go!" In fact, from Jiang Hai's point of view, it's all the same thing whether it's tuna or not. To be honest, the taste is pretty much the same. It can be used to go there. He was quite happy to steal the money from the islanders, and after hearing Jiang Hai's words, Pula Walton also smiled.

"I remember you discussed with me before whether we could directly get a line to sell fish to the island country. I had already laid out the line at that time. Now that we have this fish, I believe our first shot can be very loud. ." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Pula Walton also smiled and said, and then showed Jiang Hai her mobile phone. There was a plan list in her mobile phone.

When Jiang Hai participated in the fishery exhibition last year, a businessman from an island country bought Jiang Hai two fish, and the price was not low. At that time, Jiang Hai asked Pula Walton, because in his impression, , this fish is indeed not worth that much money.

However, he later learned that the price of this fish was different in the United States and in the island country. After learning this news, Jiang Hai wanted to sell the fish directly to the island country, so he discussed it with Pula Walton. Pula Walton also said to give it a try, but he didn't expect that it would be used now. Pula Walton, to be precise, it should be the Wal-Mart Group. They have already laid out wiring in the island country, but it's a pity. Yes, they suffered miserably in the past.

Wal-Mart Supermarket actually entered the island country market in 2002. After all, the island country market at that time was the second largest retail market in the world. However, it lost money for many years after entering, so it announced its withdrawal in 2005. Of course, the main reason was that With so much money invested there, it is impossible to withdraw all the money.

Currently, Wal-Mart has more than 370 supermarkets in the island country. There are still supermarkets, but they are not as enthusiastic as before.

Basically, we don’t want you to make money, but you don’t want to lose money either. At least we must keep the Wal-Mart brand in the hearts of the people of the island country. Last year, Pula Walton took the initiative to ask about the Wal-Mart of the island country. Naturally, Wal-Mart's senior executives also know this. Wal-Mart's recent strategy mainly focuses on Jiang Hai's beef and seafood.

The expansion has been quite good. Originally, Jiang Hai's beef was only sold in the northeastern corner of the United States and some large cities.

But currently, it is sold in some towns and villages in the northeastern corner of the United States, and more in large cities, including some large cities in the south. It can be said that Jiang Hai’s beef has almost unified the high-end beef market in the United States. Fortunately, he produces That's not right.

At the same time, Wal-Mart is also using Jiang Hai’s beef to launch attacks in Europe outside the United States. Currently, Jiang Hai’s beef is also available in Wal-Mart supermarkets in the UK, France, Italy and other countries. The purchase rate is really good. Basically, after it is put on the shelves, It will definitely be sold out in two days. The only country not interested in Jiang Hai's beef is Germany, because Germans like to eat pork.

But in Asia, beef cannot enter. For example, beef cannot enter island countries. The main reason is that that country’s perverted national pride does not allow anyone to say that Jiang Hai’s products are better than theirs. Wagyu is the world. The best, Jiang Hai’s beef? They don't like it! Well, the same goes for the South Korean people. In their eyes, Korean beef is the best, bar none.

As for why they did not enter China, firstly, Jiang Hai and Qi Li sell steaks directly in China.

The second reason is that the import tariffs on American beef in China are heavy. China is an independent country and will not let American products be dumped. Although Jiang Hai is Chinese and still retains his nationality, his beef is Made in the United States.

Therefore, there is no Chiang Hai beef in Wal-Mart supermarkets in China. If you want to eat it, you can only go to the four steakhouses in Qili.

Having said that, there is no problem for low- and mid-range beef from the United States to enter the island country. High-end beef, such as Jiang Hai’s beef, is not allowed to be sold! But fish, maybe this can take advantage of a loophole... (To be continued.)
