Chapter 146: Crying for three days after death

During meal.

I happened to hear other tourists chatting about how someone had just gone fishing and caught a 260-kilogram bluefin tuna, and hung it on the fishing boat at the pier to take pictures and display it.

Suri is very interested in this.

Just after lunch, he borrowed an electric golf cart and hurriedly took Jiang Jiaya to the fishing boat dock.

I originally thought I might not see it.

Unexpectedly, I saw a big fish hanging on a fishing boat from so far away. The scene was so eye-catching that it attracted many onlookers.

The workers on the boat are busy pouring ice water on the big fish to completely drain the blood and water in its body, so as not to reduce the quality of the fish and affect the taste and price.

The fishing boat Suri spent money to purchase was delivered just over a week ago and still looks brand new.

Usually, sea fishing fees are charged to tourists, and experienced old fishermen and captains are allowed to take people fishing in sea areas with more fish. The fee is set at US$299 per person per day, and a lunch and dinner are provided during the period.

Because fuel and labor costs are not cheap.

If only two or three tourists make reservations to go fishing in the sea, it is actually difficult to make money from this business. There are many fishing boats in Hawaii and the competition is high, so it is basically a loss-making operation.

Not long after it opened, we actually caught such a big bluefin tuna.

It is about two meters long from head to tail, and the fish body has graceful lines, like a cannonball.

Even Suri would be envious when he sees such a fish.

Although the price of bluefin tuna is relatively expensive, in his eyes, it is a bargain. You can buy it from the market anytime you want to eat it. Buying it with money and catching it with your own hands are completely different things.

Just thinking about the tug-of-war with a bluefin tuna weighing 260 kilograms in the vast sea is exciting.

Whether it’s the big bluefin, giant tuna or swordfish, they are all fish that fishers dream of.

A fish like this is big enough to be photographed and hung in the most conspicuous place in your home, and can be used as a talking point to brag about after drinking for a lifetime.

Suri boarded the fishing boat.

He looked around the big blue fin and asked, "I remember that tuna is easy to spoil and needs to be frozen as soon as possible. The temperature is a bit high today. Is it possible to hang it outside without fear of spoilage?"

"The bloody water needs to be drained first. The Kona manager of the hotel has already said hello and said that there are many tourists today. He will send the fish to the cold storage of the hotel later and find someone to cut it and sell it to tourists in the evening."

The speaker was a Native Hawaiian.

Because he has been fishing at sea all year round, his skin is tanned, so he just got the job of captain of a fishing boat last week.

Knowing that Suri was the one who really paid him his salary, he smiled until his white teeth were exposed.

Suri nodded and asked:

"How much does it cost in total if we buy it directly? The fish looks great and tourists should like it. There are more than a thousand people on the island now. I'm afraid we won't be able to sell them all today. Then we will cut some of them and put them in the cold storage."

The aboriginal captain was stunned for a moment, and after he came to his senses, he explained:

"You don't have to spend money. I caught this fish. I fished during work and didn't buy the $299 boat ticket, so it counts as your fish. I went out to sea to fish with tourists in the morning, and I also tried to throw a rod. He struggled for nearly two hours before he was successfully pulled into the boat. He cried for three days after he was dead. If he misses the big fish, he will regret it for the rest of his life. My hands are still shaking until now, and I have completely lost my strength."

To say that this fish belongs to Suri, there is nothing wrong with it.

This is similar to how university professors engage in research and development, and most of the results belong to the school. In the final analysis, only by borrowing resources can something be gained.

The smile didn't disappear, it just moved to Suri's face.

He was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that the old captain in front of him was really simple, and told him:

"Go and tell the finance department yourself that I will give you a bonus of two thousand this month. I will say hello to my secretary. I don't know the market. If it is sold to the outside world, how much is this bluefin tuna worth?"

The Aboriginal captain smiled happily.

It's not that he doesn't care about the big bluefin, the point is that compared to the value of a fish, keeping his job is obviously much more important.

The reason why I agreed to work on a fishing boat was simply because I wanted to ensure a good harvest despite droughts and floods. It was much better than going out to sea to fish on my own and having one meal but no next meal.

Since there is no way to hide it privately, it is better to hand it over openly to avoid taking advantage of small things and suffering big losses.

Complete simple estimate.

The captain told us: "The bigger the bluefin tuna, the fatter the meat. This fish is already very big and should be sold for twenty-five dollars per pound."

Calculating the price by default, if calculated at US$25 per pound, the entire fish would be worth more than US$14,000.

This number is lower than expected.

Just like fruit vendors will not purchase fruits from fruit farmers according to the retail price, fishmongers will not purchase tuna at a large price according to the retail price.

If you transport the fish to some high-end Japanese food stores, the price will go up immediately.

The Japanese are famous for eating tuna, eels, saury and the like, and even whales and dolphins.

Suri has been to a Japanese food store.

Sushi, Teppanyaki, etc. have always been high-priced and small in portions. They look exquisite but are actually full of huge profits.

If the tuna in front of me were sent to some high-end Japanese restaurants on Oahu, the boss might be able to make $500,000 in tears in the end.

After a lot of work.

Use a car to drive the bluefin tuna to the hotel's cold storage.

Suri took out her mobile phone to check the information and found out that bluefin tuna is divided into three species: Atlantic, Pacific and Southern.

Pacific tuna living near Hawaii can grow up to about three meters and weigh up to 450 kilograms.

Not to mention 450 kilograms, even Pacific blue flag tuna weighing 400 kilograms is already rare.

As long as you successfully catch a fish on the boat, you can write a press release. Even if you have been fishing at sea for decades, you can still find it.

Countless sea fishing enthusiasts regard this fish as a mythical existence.

Even if you encounter it, it may be a misfortune rather than a blessing.

Anglers who are slightly weaker cannot bear it at all and can only rely on wheel fighting.

They are so strong that the two sides may compete for three or four hours before they finally accept their fate. Many fishermen cut the line with tears in their eyes, fearing that they would be walked to death by the fish.

——————————

Suri stayed on Lanai, busy watching the fish.

Stores in many parts of the United States began selling his "Phoenix" album.

As a mini-album, there are only five songs recorded in it, two of which have already been on the "Billboard", proving that his performance is still so stable.

Countless people have been intrigued and have been looking forward to this album for a long time.

After listening to it, some fans found that the other three songs that were supposed to make up the number were unexpectedly good, with different styles and characteristics.

Review posts quickly appeared on the Internet.

Suri searched for keywords and found that Miss Avril was popping up again and posted "Wow, cool!! :)" on Facebook.

This time, even Avril Lavigne's fans noticed something was wrong and commented below, asking whether she was interested in Suri. That's why she posted a special post every time to support her, rain or shine.

After reading the relevant remarks, Su Rui also muttered.

Recalling the meeting at a party in Los Angeles a few days ago, Avril Lavigne was wearing smoky makeup, the same as before, and she didn't seem to mean that.

This made Suri subconsciously speculate that Avril, the world's top singer, might still be his die-hard fan.
