Golden Fishery

When the second round of auction started, the bluefin tuna pulled out was three meters long and weighed 640 pounds. The belly fat rate was 148%, and the overall fat rate was 144%. This is already a top-quality tuna. .

Although the old auctioneer is not young, his voice is still loud, and his ability to control the atmosphere and rhythm is excellent. He called out the price of this fish in a high-pitched voice: "The starting price is 75,000 euros!"

Qin Shiou rubbed his nose. The unit price of more than one hundred euros is indeed high enough. It seems that the tuna market is really hot this year.

From the past two years, the governments of various countries have been crying and saying that they have encountered an economic crisis, but even so, the transaction volume of the luxury goods market remains high.

Bluefin tuna is also a kind of luxury consumption. The price of one hundred euros per pound is not expensive for diners, but there are no diners who come to participate in the auction. They are all large seafood companies or restaurant owners. I bought this fish at a unit price of one hundred euros per pound, and it will be sold as "pieces" when it is sold in the future, and it can sell for thousands of euros per pound!

With the price so high, tuna diners from all over the world, especially the Japanese, are still flocking to it. This is like the wagyu beef imported from Japan to high-end restaurants in New York.

Butler also wanted to learn from Japanese wagyu and play hunger marketing, but Qin Shiou vetoed this, because there are too many seafood in the fishery, and they must be dumped in large quantities. As long as the price is stable, the supply will be fine.

Wagyu beef uses hunger marketing, not because the Japanese want to speculate on its value, but because it is really laborious to raise this kind of beef. Unlike Qin Shiou's side, once the fish fry are scattered to the fishing ground, you don't need to worry about it.

The auctioneer's voice fell. The third son of the Murray family, Charles Murray, raised his hand and said, "Seventy-six thousand yuan!"

The old auctioneer immediately pointed his finger at him and shouted, "That gentleman bid seventy-six thousand yuan!"

"Seventy-seven thousand yuan!" A Japanese youth next to Kota Tezuka also raised his hand and shouted.

Qin Shiou looked in the direction of several people, and noticed that Aoyama by the well laughed at Tezuka Kota, raised his hand and shouted, "Eighty thousand yuan!"

He raised the price higher. He added 3,000 euros at a time, clearly to argue with Takata Tezuka.

For this year's Tokyo tuna market, Inobe Aoyama has great ambitions. He won the king of fish at the Tsukiji market auction. Kota Tezuka has become Tokyo's new ruler of the tuna empire.

Kota Tezuka is now keeping a low profile.

Ignoring the comments from the outside world, seeing the high price offered by Qingshan by the well, he smiled and shook his head, signaling to the young people around him not to raise the price.

Inobe Aoyama is full of doubts about the abnormal performance of his old opponent. He is the person here who knows Kota Tezuka best, and knows how tough this compatriot's wrist is.

But now as far as he knows, Kiyomura Co., Ltd. does not have many high-quality bluefin reserves, so how can he continue to rule the tuna market in Tokyo? It's useless to rely on a strong wrist, and a smart woman can't cook without rice, so why didn't he rush to take pictures of these high-quality tuna?

As Qin Shiou knew, Dali Rilu Co., Ltd. led by Inobe Aoyama won a big victory at the Tsukiji Market Auction not long after, except for Yuwang. They also photographed a large number of bluefin tuna.

At that time, Aoyama at the well was almost as if he was going to die, as long as Takata Tezuka took a picture of a fish, he would definitely step in. And followed him to the end, abruptly snatching a large amount of fish from Tezuka Kota's hands.

In fact, Dali Rilu Co., Ltd. has enough tuna reserves. This time, Ibe Aoyama did not come to the auction for the fish, but to make things difficult for Tezuka Takata and make this old rival spend more money. Money to buy less fish.

so. As soon as Takata Tezuka made an offer, he raised the price substantially. If he wanted to trick this old opponent, he would never take the bait at all.

Takata Tezuka did not make an offer. Charles Murray raised the price again: "Seventy-one thousand dollars!"

Inoyama Aoyama also shook his head. He just wanted to hit Tezuka Kota, his old rival. As for the Murray brothers in the United States, there was no conflict between them, and there was no need to spend high prices to buy tuna that he no longer needed.

Then another big fish was pulled out, this time the weight of the fish was directly raised to 700 pounds, and the fat rate of the belly was also good. The starting price was 110,000 euros.

Brother Mori was still the first to raise his hand and shouted, "Euro 112,000!"

Immediately afterwards, the bosses of two other seafood companies also offered their prices, raising the price to 115,000 euros.

Kota Tezuka seemed unable to sit still, and shouted loudly before Aoyama by the well: "120,000 euros!"

Charles Murray accepted the price immediately: "122,000 euros!"

The veins on Tezuka Kota's forehead were faintly exposed, and he shouted in a deep voice, "125,000 euros!"

This price is relatively high, and the Murray brothers got together to discuss a few words before not continuing, and other seafood merchants also shook their heads, 125,000 euros is the limit price of this fish, and a higher price will be auctioned. There is no benefit in coming down.

In this way, Aoyama Aoyama finally had a chance to bid, raised his hand and looked at Kota Tezuka provocatively: "130,000 euros!"

Takata Tezuka looked coldly at the green hill beside the well not far away, and said, "Mr. Inoue, you are very ambitious."

Aoyama by the well bowed slightly to him, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, Tezuka-kun, I like this fish very much, I'm afraid I'm going to take it away."

Kota Tezuka's mouth twitched a few times, as if gritting his teeth, he said loudly, "140,000 euros!"

Inobe Aoyama enjoyed the feeling of forcing Kota Tezuka into a desperate situation. He lazily raised his hand and said, "145,000 euros!"

He predicted that Kota Tezuka would have to photograph most of the remaining fish, because there will be no tuna auctions after Amsterdam, so if you want to buy bluefin tuna, you can only collect it through bulk collection, which is very slow of.

But he guessed wrong, when he quoted the price, Tezuka Kota didn't follow the price, but sat down with a cold snort, with a gloomy face, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Qin Shiou felt that this was abnormal, and Mrs. Takashi Tezuka kept a low profile. Could something be wrong with his finances? Otherwise, with his personality, even if he knew he was at a disadvantage, he would have taken these fish. That's what Tezuka Kota did when he auctioned off the King Fish last year.

The quality of the tuna that comes out later is getting better and better, and the weight is getting bigger and bigger, and the price is naturally rising all the way.

Takata Tezuka became active, almost always the first to make an offer, and Aoyama Inobe was waiting for him specially, and as soon as he made an offer, Aoyama Inobe would raise the price substantially. But Kota Tezuka didn't seem to want to compete with him, and he shut up after Inoyama Aoyama bid, but the Murray Brothers would keep up with the price.

Qingshan by the well didn't make an offer with the Mori brothers, and the others made more reasonable offers. In this way, Qin Shiou found something wrong! (to be continued)
