Fisherman: Making A Fortune Starts By Reporting Spies

Abalone is expensive!

It is generally accepted that even if you have never eaten it, you know that abalone is expensive.

But what about the actual situation?

But it's not expensive at all. There are many abalones that cost a few yuan, or even more than ten yuan.

But it cannot be said that abalone is very cheap. It depends on the situation. Abalones that cost a few yuan or more than ten yuan a piece are all artificially cultured. On the basis of artificial breeding, there is also a hard standard. Then That’s how many heads.

How many abalone!

It doesn't mean how many heads an abalone has. The heads are measured by weight.

First of all, many people know it, such as single-headed abalone, which is one-headed abalone, then to double-headed abalone, three-headed abalone and so on.

An abalone that meets this standard is an abalone, and its weight reaches 1 jin. A 1-jin abalone is not an ordinary big one.

Similarly, a two-headed abalone weighs half a pound, a three-headed abalone weighs three or two, and a four-headed abalone weighs 2.5 ounces.

Abalones that cost a few yuan or more than ten yuan, based on artificial breeding, still have weight. Not to mention the very common eight or nine abalones, even ten abalones are not available. In other words, how many yuan do you eat? The abalone that costs more than ten yuan a piece actually doesn't even weigh 1 or 2 pounds.

One weighs seven or eight cents, and the price is RMB 0.50.

When it comes to five or six abalone, which is about a 2-pound abalone, even if it is artificially cultured, it will cost more than 2,000 yuan per pound, and the price will be even higher after that.

And this is based on artificial breeding.

If it is purely wild, the price will more than double.

And the larger the size, the wider the price gap will increase geometrically, which is quite possible.

Once upon a time, some fishermen caught pure wild two-headed abalone, each weighing half a catty. They sold it not by the catty, but by the individual, and they were not sold casually, but by auction. In the end, they sold it by auction. That two-headed abalone was auctioned for 26,000 yuan, and the currency unit is US dollars.

According to the exchange rate, converted into the domestic currency, the double-headed abalone sold for 170,000 yuan and more than 8,000 yuan, which is almost 180,000 yuan.

Double-headed abalone is already so valuable.

What about single-headed abalone and half-headed abalone?

The so-called half-headed abalone weighs more than 2 kilograms!

Absolutely rare. It can only be said that the growth rate of abalone is too slow. For one to reach 2 pounds, it will not be possible to grow that big in a few years, or even more than ten years, and there are countless prerequisites in the process. , First of all, this abalone must be very healthy and have extremely strong genes. Otherwise, if you give it twenty or thirty years, it may not be able to grow to 2 pounds.

And if it is purely wild abalone, can you guarantee that it will not be eaten by big fish in the past ten, twenty or thirty years? Or will it die due to changes in the sea environment?

That's exactly what it is.

The bigger the wild abalone is, the rarer it is now. You may not see it once in more than ten years, either because you have not caught it, or you have not encountered it, or there is simply no wild abalone weighing more than 2 pounds each.

Even in artificial breeding, it is difficult to raise abalone weighing 2 pounds after feeding unknown amounts of hormones.

"Hahaha..."

Su Xiangdong laughed heartily, without hiding it at all. He had never been so happy before, so uncontrollably, but he had reason to be happy. He stepped onto the reef from the boat, because the low tide had formed a small island, which happened to be right under his feet. , if you don’t get close, you really can’t find it, because the abalone is adsorbed on the reef and is still in the sea. The abalone shell has the same color as the reef. Looking from a distance, you will only feel that it is part of the reef: at least It has to be more than 8 taels!”

A perfect double-headed abalone!

It must be purely wild.

Excavate!

But the more professional term is: shoveling abalone!

There is a special abalone shovel, but when they go out to sea, it is impossible to bring that thing with them. They have no choice but to use a knife instead. It is impossible to just grab it by hand without a tool, because the abalone is adsorbed on the rocks. You want to get it out, even if you are a strong man, you can't.

The reason is very simple, the adsorption power of abalone is frightening.

Even if it is an 8-head abalone, its suction power exceeds 200 kilograms when it is adsorbed on the reef. That is, the suction (chdg) force of 400 kilograms. How can it be possible for you to take it out? Even deadlifting will not work.

The bigger the abalone, the stronger the adsorption force.

At this time, you can only use a shovel or a knife to slowly separate the suction cup. Pull until most of the suction cup is separated, and then you can use force to take it out.

Very laborious!

But he was very happy, just because the value was more than 8 taels, and the starting price for one was less than 200,000 yuan. It didn’t take much, and if he caught a dozen of them, he could start earning two to three million yuan.

not to mention!

This reef beach is not just about this one abalone, nor is it just this big.

Mate Liu and Su Xiangnan on the boat were dumbfounded. They also noticed it. They were about to start placing crab pots when they suddenly heard Su Xiangdong laughing wildly. They couldn't help but be attracted. Then they saw Su Xiangdong holding a crab pot. The knife was digging into the rocks, and combined with the net bag, it was 100% confirmed to be abalone.

"Old Liu... put the crab pots, put all 500 crab pots on the reef beach here!"

Su Xiangdong is not a selfish person, but he is the owner of the ship after all. When you board the ship, you must follow his arrangements. He is generous if he allows it, but he is not allowed to allow it. The crew members on the ship cannot be unhappy. This is also the case on a fishing boat. Rules: "There are a lot of abalone in this area. It's very difficult to catch one [important for a long time]."

"I have made the decision today. All crew members, when the work is completed, I will give you the opportunity to go to the reef island and catch abalone together. The catch belongs to you. This can be regarded as the welfare of the fishing boat." Su Xiangdong waved his hand. , it can be regarded as distributing benefits to employees.

Yes, it’s a benefit!

There is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hate without reason.

The crew is the property of the fishing boat. Even if he doesn't let the crew dig abalone together, the crew can't say anything, let alone have any objection.

Even if he ordered the crew to continue digging abalones, the abalones they dug belonged to the fishing boats, and there was nothing wrong with it, because it was working time now, and the wealth you created during working hours also belonged to the fishing boats.

it's good now!

After the work of placing crab pots is completed, I will ask you to come up and dig together. What you dig belongs to you. Isn't it a proper additional income benefit?

"When you go back later, tell Lao Qi and Lao Sun."

Su Xiangdong thought for a moment, then added: "In addition...your brother-in-law is also included, but newcomers are inexperienced, and it is dangerous to board the rocky island. You can make up your own calculations. I am not responsible for my overestimation."

"Xiang Nan... you will land on the island after placing the crab pots this time. On the next trip, bring my third uncle over. The three of us will dig first, and you will follow!"

Su Xiangdong did not hide it at all. He prioritized his own people first, and the crew came last.

If there is any benefit, it is natural for one to take advantage of it.

This is understandable. Do we need to take advantage of outsiders first?

There is nothing so good in the world, especially these outsiders, who paid real money for the basic salary, including a 1% bonus for each fish catch. Under the premise of high salary and high benefits, what else can you do? Want to take advantage of more?
