Chapter 282 Find a Buyer in Advance
Ye Sihai had never thought that Jeremy Wade was a celebrity.
Before this old man became the executive of the International Sea Fishing Organization, he had many identities.
First, he was a biologist.
Then he was a TV host.
He was also a writer.
Most importantly, he was an extreme fisherman.
He once had a program that was popular all over the world, which was dedicated to showing him catching all kinds of super big fish in the seas and rivers around the world.
But after this old man caught them, he would let them all go.
He had already achieved financial freedom by relying on the copyright income from writing books and TV programs.
He became the executive of the Sea Fishing Organization because the Sea Fishing Organization saw his influence.
In the hearts of professional anglers, Jeremy Wade is a monument.
Seeing that their idols were so enthusiastic about Ye Sihai, those professional anglers who were still preparing to make trouble for Ye Sihai immediately restrained themselves from cursing.
Robert was also a little surprised on the side.
Because Jeremy Wade was notoriously unfeeling.
No matter how rich you are, he only has one point here.
Play by the rules.
At this moment, Ye Sihai was the center of attention.
On Palm Island, the real protagonists were the super-rich.
There were not only 30 top members participating in this sea fishing competition, but also hundreds of members of the sea fishing organization watching.
In addition, several national TV stations in North America also dispatched a luxurious lineup to broadcast the entire competition process live.
This type of program often achieves super ratings in Europe and North America.
Ye Sihai was stunned.
Going on TV?
He looked around and it was as expected.
There were several hidden cameras, and some were obviously reporters pretending to be waiters, with cameras hidden on their chests.
In the party venue in the distance, there were three super-long jibs alone, all of which were equipped with cameras.
Needless to say, the super-rich were dazzling under the camera.
The female companions around them were even more dazzling.
They were either supermodels or celebrities, and none of them brought their families.
They would not bring their wives and daughters to such informal high-end social events.
Jeremy Wade seemed particularly enthusiastic about Ye Sihai, pushing Robert aside to say hello to others.
He personally took Ye Sihai with him, introducing him along the way, and always showed off Ye Sihai's record-breaking video.
"Ye, I watch your video every night during this period. My God, you are a genius. It's incredible that you can catch a super tuna alive."
Ye Sihai smiled modestly:
"Mr. Jerry, I am still a student in front of you."
"No, no, no."
Jeremy Wade waved his hands repeatedly:
"I have a hunch that this time, the first prize must be yours."
Ye Sihai smiled, looked around, and found that there was a special camera quietly aimed at him.
He approached Jeremy Wade and asked softly:
"Mr. Jerry, I have a question."
"Do you have any questions? Ask away."
"What do you do with the fish you catch?"
Jeremy Wade was a little surprised, and then he understood what Ye Sihai meant, and smiled:
"God, you don't care about this little money, do you?"
Ye Sihai shrugged:
"I want to know the price and the acquisition process."
Jeremy Wade laughed and waved to the waiter on the side to pass two glasses of wine.
"It's like this."
The purchase price of tuna in North America fluctuates greatly. The worthless ones are worthless no matter where they are placed. They are basically snacks for cats and dogs.
But the price of bluefin tuna ranges from a few dollars a pound to thirty or fifty dollars a pound.
The purchase price of bluefin tuna in the Gulf of Mexico is generally around twenty or thirty dollars.
Because the season and sea area will cause the quality of bluefin tuna meat to be not very good.
But it is also a high-end ingredient.
As for acquisition, the sea fishing organization has special contacts with acquirers, and these people will give a relatively low price.
Ye Sihai was somewhat noncommittal after hearing this.
The price was too low.
Even if it was calculated at fifty dollars per pound, one pound was about one kilogram. How much could a 300-kilogram bluefin tuna sell for?
Less than fifteen thousand.
It was completely different from what Ye Sihai had planned.
What was he doing here?
He must take the first place of two hundred million dollars.
The catch must also be sold at a high price.
The highest tuna purchase record in North America was a 250-pound bluefin, which sold for one million and eight hundred thousand dollars.
In total, the price per pound was as high as seven or eight thousand dollars.
The difference from fifty dollars per pound was too big.
He also wanted to break this highest record.
"Mr. Jerry, I have an unwelcome request."
Ye Sihai looked at Jeremy Wade and said seriously:
"Can you introduce me to a buyer? I want a very powerful buyer."
Jeremy Wade's eyes lit up immediately.
He was a TV host.
He understood it as soon as he heard it.
The highlight of this game is Ye Sihai.
This is also the reason why he is so respectful.
Not everyone can make him so enthusiastic.
"Of course."
"No problem at all."
Jeremy Wade grabbed Ye Sihai's hand and said excitedly:
"Ye, are you... God, where do you get the certainty from?"
Ye Sihai smiled somewhat reservedly:
"Feeling."
Jeremy Wade...!
In this world, the only people who can pay the highest price for top-notch bluefin tuna can only be...Japanese.
Jeremy Wade quickly found a Japanese who attended the cocktail party for Ye Sihai.
This guy was short and slender, and looked humble, bowing to everyone he met, but his eyes were shrewd.
When he saw Ye Sihai, he felt like he saw a god:
"Ye Yang, I'm Watanabe!"
The record-breaking bluefin tuna in Tokyo last year brought Ye Sihai not only bonuses and wealth.
And great fame in a certain fixed circle.
Who dares to say that they don't know Ye Sihai's name in the top Japanese cuisine world now?
A god-like man!
The standard of this sea fishing competition is extremely high, which can be said to be the highest in the world, so how can those who can come to make acquisitions without some strength?
The super-rich pursue the fun of participation and the satisfaction when catching fish.
As for how much they can sell it for, they don't care at all.
But the professional fishermen they find do care.
Professional fishermen can sell their catches while taking the money from the rich.
Even if it is worthless, a pound of more than ten or twenty dollars, a two or three hundred pound bluefin can be sold for five or seven thousand or eight thousand.
"Mr. Watanabe, we don't need to confirm anything for the time being, just follow the rules of the event organizer. We catch the fish, and you take it away. You can check the meat and quality and settle the bill for me. How about it?"
Watanabe was overjoyed:
"Arigato!"
People around looked sideways.
What's wrong with this little book? So excited?
Did he discuss something with Ye Sihai?
Professional fishermen around have to curry favor with buyers like Watanabe.
Who doesn't want to sell at a good price?
At this time, Robert suddenly rushed over and shouted from a distance:
"Oh my God, Fuck, Bruce, what kind of wine did you give me? Fuck!"
Everyone was shocked.
Ye Sihai didn't have time to react when several super-rich people suddenly strode over.
They looked as if they were afraid of being a little slow.
"Oh, young man, you are Bruce, right?"
"Mr. Bruce, I'm very happy to meet you."
"Hi, amazing oriental boy, I want your wine, how much is it per bottle, three million? Or five million?"
There was a sound of wine glasses falling to the ground all around.
Fortunately, it was a beach, so the glasses were not broken.
What kind of wine, three million per bottle?
Are you crazy?
