Chapter 282 Tuna Fishing Contest

At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Chu Mingcheng, who rarely stayed in bed, received an auction message from the trading center.

He was lucky, the trading center will arrange an auction of bluefin tuna in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.

Basically, the high-quality bluefin tuna in the trading center will be auctioned after a certain amount has been accumulated.

Sometimes the scale is large, sometimes the scale is small, and the time arrangement is not certain.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Luoluo couldn't help asking when he saw that he was looking at the phone all the time.

Because of curiosity, she got out of the quilt, and her smooth and white shoulders were suddenly exposed in the air, revealing the imaginative beauty.

"Information from the trading center that there will be an auction of bluefin tuna the day after tomorrow. Our fish will be put up for auction the day after tomorrow." Chu Mingcheng handed her the phone and said.

"How about the tuna auction?" Jiang Luoluo took the phone and looked at it, then returned it to him.

"I don't know either. I haven't seen it before. I'll go and see it when the time comes." Chu Mingcheng shook his head, "But I originally planned to go to Hangzhou today, and then go home for a few days. stay one more day."

"Then where do you want to go to play today?" Jiang Luoluo stretched out her arms to hug him, and the touch of the snowy skin gave someone a look of enjoyment.

"Shouldn't it be said, where do you want to go to play, and then I will accompany you?"

"I used to come to Shanghai often, and I've been to all the places I want to go. It's not interesting."

“.”

Chu Mingcheng, who often goes out to sea, finds that he is not very interested in sightseeing spots, but in the afternoon, he went to the Bund of Shanghai to play, and in the evening, he went to the Oriental Pearl Tower to see the night view.

Anyway, it is the characteristic of Shanghai, so let’s find out now that we’re here.

After returning to the hotel at night, Chen Yang approached him and discussed with him about opening a diving club.

"Acheng, I have learned a lot about the dive shop from Coach Lu in Qiongzhou. Based on the rent in Siming District, I roughly calculated that the cost of opening a dive shop is about one million."

“Mainly we all have boats, which saves the biggest cost of opening a dive shop.”

More than one million yuan, this fee is within the range accepted by Chuming City.

Anyway, he didn't invest alone. Of course, it doesn't matter if he invests alone.

The cost of trial and error for a rich man is very high. Even if he loses a million dollars in his current economic situation, he will feel distressed for a few days at most.

"I have no problem with this, but how much do you and Awei plan to invest? By the way, what about Awei, why didn't you come over?"

Chen Yang spread his hands helplessly: "What else can that guy do?"

Chu Mingcheng suddenly understood: "Then leave him alone, how much do you plan to vote with him?"

"Ah Wei mentioned to me before that he plans to vote 10%, and I plan to vote 40%. If you think 50% is a bit much, then I can vote more."

"That's okay, Luo Luo and I will vote 50%. I will transfer 500,000 to you tomorrow. If it is not enough, I will make up later."

Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo had discussed about the investment a long time ago. When she bought the boat, she paid half of the money, and the investment money should be regarded as her dividend.

The current relationship between the two is only one card away, and no one will care about these things.

As long as one person is more calculating, it will be difficult for the two to keep going.

Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo have also been working hard to manage their relationship. Give to each other and think about each other.

If this situation continues, it will become an enviable relationship.

If you can grow old together, it is relatively rare in today's society.

After Chen Yang continued to chat about some details, he left Chu Mingcheng's room.

There is still a long time before the opening of the diving shop. Even if you rent a house and start to decorate it, you will have to wait until next year to get it done. These things are in charge of Chen Yang, and he doesn't need to spend much time.

The focus is still on the diving pool, which is related to Jiang Luoluo's future underwater dancing, maybe it will become popular again.

On the third day of coming to Shanghai, Chu Mingcheng checked out of the room and joined Jiang Luoluo and Chen Yang in the lobby on the first floor.

"Where's Zhang Wei? Didn't come back last night?"

Chen Yang sighed lightly, and said: "Go to another hotel and open a room, and said that I will go directly to the trading center in the afternoon, let's go there first!"

Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo nodded, but there was no reaction to this.

The three went to have lunch, and then took a taxi to the trading center.

When I came here, it was past one o'clock in the afternoon, and the auction was being held.

There were still people entering the venue one after another at the main entrance, and the three of Chu Mingcheng walked in without waiting for Zhang Wei.

After entering, they found that the lobby was already filled with tuna, divided into fresh and frozen areas, and it was crowded with people.

There are so many tuna, it seems that the ocean-going tuna fishing boat has already shipped back a batch of goods, so there are a lot of bluefin tuna in the lobby, at least hundreds of them by visual inspection.

And depending on the size, the weight is at least two hundred catties or more.

Basically, the fat content of tuna less than two hundred catties is difficult to reach an excellent level, so all of them are directly traded.

In the lobby, there are not many of the size of two hundred catties, and it seems that they are basically around three or four hundred catties.

Jiang Luoluo saw so many high-quality bluefin tuna, he couldn't help but click his tongue: "We only encountered one after going out to sea for several days. I thought that the number of bluefin tuna is very rare at present, but I didn't expect there to be so many?"

"The number is actually not as small as you think. We were just unlucky and only met once. But some of them should be imported." Chu Mingcheng pulled her and started wandering in the lobby.

There are a lot of tuna, and there are also a lot of staff responsible for recording.

The profit model of the tuna trading center is imitated from that of Little Days, so the auction model is similar.

There are specific data on the fish, and the meat cut from the tail is also placed on the fish, which is convenient for customers to check.

People who have been in contact with many people can naturally see the quality of the fish.

Chu Mingcheng would choose a fish from time to time, observe its fat content and meat quality, and then look at the data.

In this way, you can learn more after watching a lot. In the future, you can guess the approximate value of the fish you catch.

From time to time, someone around them will bid, and then the staff will record it with a notebook.

After reading the fresh section, the three of them came to the frozen section again.

As soon as they arrived, they saw a group of people gathered in one place and walked over curiously, only to find that a group of people were bidding for the bluefin tuna they caught.

"Ah Cheng, it seems our fish is very good! Look, so many people want it." Jiang Luoluo tugged on Chu Mingcheng's clothes, then stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear.

"It is better to have more people, and the selling price is also higher."

"That is, how much do you think it can be sold?"

"The auction will be a little higher, probably around 700,000, and it's impossible to do more."

"Is it so low, I thought it would be over a million!"

Jiang Luoluo was a little surprised. After all, bluefin tuna has a great reputation, and it often fetches sky-high prices at auctions.

Even if the market shrinks due to special reasons in the later period, it is still possible for Chu Mingcheng's bluefin tuna to be auctioned for 1 million RMB, so she feels that 700,000 is less.

"The domestic market is like this. If you want to fetch a sky-high price of 1 million, it is estimated that you need a tuna weighing 800 catties. However, it is difficult for bluefin tuna in the Pacific to grow to such a large size, and only the bluefin tuna in the Atlantic Ocean can appear."

"However, the bluefin tuna in the Atlantic Ocean is almost extinct, and it is abroad, so we can't count on it."

Jiang Luoluo nodded, but his expression was somewhat pity.

Time passed slowly, Zhang Weicai arrived in a hurry at nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, and the auction was drawing to a close.

The current bidding price of the bluefin tuna in Chuming City has reached 715,000, which is indeed about the same as he guessed.

If it is sold directly, this fish can probably be sold for more than 500,000 yuan, and the highest is no more than 600,000 yuan. Obviously, this is the benefit of the auction.

Of course, the fish is also good enough.

Like the three hundred catties next to you, the bidding price is not much higher than the selling price, and after deducting the handling fee, you may earn an extra ten thousand or twenty thousand.

The auction nature of bluefin tuna is definitely different from that of a serious item auction. It is difficult to bid far more than its own value in the domestic market.

At three o'clock, the tuna auction officially ended. Several people in Chu Mingcheng did not leave, but went to the rest area of ​​the trading center to wait.

After a short meeting, the person in charge who had received Chu Mingcheng before came over and handed him a list.

That is the auction price of the fish, as well as the handling fee and storage fee deducted above.

After Chu Mingcheng signed, the trading center will immediately arrange the transfer.

He took a look at the list, and the bidding price for bluefin tuna was the last price he saw, which was 715,000 yuan.

After deducting the 5% handling fee and the 200 storage fee, there is still 679,050 yuan left.

Jiang Luoluo took out his mobile phone to calculate, and nodded to him when he found that there was no problem. Then Chu Mingcheng picked up a pen and signed.

After signing, wait for the money to arrive.

The person in charge tore up a copy of the form and gave him the certificate, and then he was about to leave.

But he seemed to remember something, so he turned to Chu Mingcheng and said, "Hello, are you interested in participating in our fishing competition? That's right, our trading center will hold a tuna fishing competition in September. for one month."

"And I have learned about your conditions, which fully meet our entry requirements. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Tuna Fishing Contest?" Chu Mingcheng was a little surprised, and Jiang Luoluo and the others looked over curiously.

"Yes, our trading center will start promoting this event tomorrow on the 15th. Participants must have their own boats, and only fishing is allowed."

Actually, this matter is not under the control of the person in charge, but Chu Mingcheng caught such a big bluefin tuna, which impressed him deeply.

If the domestic tuna industry wants to further develop, publicity is inevitable.

Like a large yellow croaker, if there is no years of hype, it cannot be sold at a sky-high price.

Tuna is more or less familiar to young people in China, but that’s it. We must open channels to let more people know.

In a place as big as Xiaotian, tuna can be produced so well, and the Huaxia market is obviously bigger.

Let’s not talk about men, as long as the grade of tuna is put up, most young women are willing to consume it.

Then some men will be forced to be taken advantage of, further stimulating the tuna market.

The fishing competition is a good gimmick. Fighting fish bigger than a human in the wind and waves will attract many people.

The reason why he asked Chu Mingcheng was because the person in charge learned that he had an ocean-going fishing boat of his own, had sufficient financial resources, and was handsome.

Even the women around her are so beautiful, completely able to attract the attention of a group of women who only care about their looks.

This is also the reason why he specially invited, otherwise he has so many things to do, so he wouldn't bother to take care of it.

"How to sign up?" Chu Mingcheng became interested.

He is making money by fishing for tuna now, so there is no problem with participating in a competition, and it will not affect his money from fishing.

"You log in to this website, register an account, and then fill in your specific information, participants, etc., as long as you pass the review, you can participate in the competition. The specific rules and rewards are explained in the website, you can take a look for yourself. "

The person in charge sent the website to Chu Mingcheng, and after a brief explanation, he went to do his own business.

Chu Mingcheng and others sat in the rest area and logged on to the website to check the specific competition rules.

The rules of the competition are actually very simple. If there is a boat that can go to the open sea, the three certificates must be complete, and those who do not meet the regulations will naturally not pass.

Of course you can also rent it, but the rent is so high and the cash reward is the same. I guess no one would be that stupid.

In addition, you can only choose fishing when you go to sea, and you can’t use nets or longlines.

There will be patrolling speedboats and drone supervision, and those who cheat will be eliminated.

The number of participants in the second boat is limited to five and cannot be exceeded.

There will be a leaderboard in the trading center, which will count the total tuna weight of each ship.

After the game is over, rewards will be distributed according to the ranking.

First place: A cash reward of 500,000 yuan, all services for selling fish at the trading center are free, and the auction fee is exempted (until next year’s fishing ban begins in Shanghai).

Second place: 200,000 cash rewards, all services for selling fish at the trading center are free (three months).

Third place: 100,000 cash reward, all services for selling fish at the trading center are free (one month).

The bonus may not seem very high, but in fact, even an income of more than 100,000 a month is very attractive to professional tuna fishermen.

Finally, there is one more restriction regarding fish.

Bluefin, yellowfin, and bigeye tuna, the minimum requirement is more than 100 catties. If it is less than 100 catties, the weight will not be calculated, but you can buy and sell by yourself.

Albacore tuna can weigh more than 50 catties, and all tuna must be bled to remove their internal organs before they can be weighed.

If it is not handled and the meat quality is damaged, it will be disqualified and eliminated.

Secondly, marlin, swordfish and swordfish are also included in the competition, and the calculated weight is more than 100 catties.

These kinds of fish must be bled, but the internal organs are not required.

There are also some detailed regulations to prevent the participants from doing things maliciously and making the trading center lose money.

In short, the consideration is very comprehensive, and there is no loophole to exploit.

"Hey, there can be five players in a boat, Acheng, please thigh!" After reading the rules of the competition, Zhang Wei immediately hugged Chu Mingcheng's thigh.

"Don't even think about it, I suggest you go fishing by yourself, at worst, you can find a few people to supplement the number." Chu Mingcheng refused without hesitation.

It doesn't make any difference to him whether there are five people or two people. He alone is worth five other people.

The only thing limiting him is the number of fish and whether he can find fish.

As for the three sea lions, I guess they can’t bring them with them. This is no different from cheating, and it’s impossible for the trading center to agree.

Chen Yang didn't care about Chu Mingcheng's refusal: "We have a boat, so it's better to separate. If there is no boat, then it's no problem to go with Ah Cheng."

Zhang Wei let go of his hand: "I'm just talking, and then we'll call two more."

"The money has been received, let's go, let's go back to the boat first." Chu Mingcheng was not in a hurry to sign up, seeing that the money had arrived, he took Jiang Luoluo's hand and left here.

But before leaving, he saw the person in charge.

After understanding the competition rules and the number of people required, he actually thought of fishing and hunting, and he still wanted to ask about the situation of the three sea lions, so he went to ask.

When the person in charge heard about bringing the sea lion, his face became a little weird, but he still shook his head to express that he would definitely not allow it.

As for fishing and hunting, of course you don't have to think about it.

When designing the rules of the competition, he listened to the department arranging the competition to discuss fishing and hunting.

Fishing and hunting obviously can’t hunt much tuna, and it stands to reason that it will not destroy the fairness of the game.

But the sport is too dangerous, if the contestants are greedy, it is easy to kill, so it is banned.

After Chu Mingcheng learned about it, he could only leave the trading center regretfully.

If he can’t fish and hunt, he won’t have that great advantage when he encounters large tuna that appear on the sea surface.

If he could fish and hunt, he felt that there was a high probability that he would win the first place. Now he could only depend on his luck to see who encountered more large tuna.

Back on the Poseidon, Chu Mingcheng delivered all the fish left to his father-in-law and his parents by express.

Originally, he planned to stay in Hangzhou with Jiang Luoluo for a few days, and then return to Wenzhou for a few days before thinking about going to sea next time.

However, the fishing competition will start on September 1st, and today is August 14th, with only half a month left.

Currently, neither Chen Yang nor Zhang Wei has ever been to the open sea once, nor have they actually caught tuna.

If he didn't bring it once, he would feel somewhat worried.

So within half a month, they will go to sea once, and then come back early to rest and prepare to go to Shanghai to participate in the competition, so the time is relatively tight.

Chen Yang obviously knew this too, so he asked, "Ah Cheng, since it is a tuna fishing competition held in Shanghai, does that mean that there are tuna in Zhoushan fishing ground?"

Chu Mingcheng nodded: "There must be, and there are quite a few. In the past, when the Baodao Strait and the east side were not open, when the fishermen in Xiamen City went to the distant sea, they basically went to Zhoushan Fishing Ground."

"And there are also bluefin tuna in the Zhoushan fishing ground, but there are not many. If you want to encounter more, you have to go to a location close to the high seas. The chance of encountering them in Ryukyu is relatively high."

Hearing that there are tuna in the Zhoushan fishing ground, Chen Yang knows it well.

"If this is the case, then Ah Wei and I will fly back directly! We will drive the boat over, and then go fishing at the Zhoushan Fishing Ground. When we return, we will go directly to Shanghai. The time will not be so tight."

"This way you don't need to sail back and forth, wasting fuel money."

Chu Mingcheng thought about it, and felt that this is indeed more convenient.

"That's fine, I'll wait for you in Shanghai."

However, the matter on Chen Yang's side was resolved, but Jiang Luoluo's side couldn't stay with him forever.

"Ah Cheng, I want to be with you during the fishing competition, so I have to go back in the next few days and come back when the fishing competition is in."

"Uh" Chu Mingcheng was a little stunned, but Jiang Luoluo did have her own business, and he couldn't occupy her time all the time, "Then why don't the boat stop here, and we'll fly back together."

Jiang Luoluo shook his head: "No need, you guys will go to sea in two days, it's too troublesome to go back and forth. I have a lot of things over there, and this time I will go to other places for commercial performances, so I can't go to sea with you, you just stay This way!"

Since she said so, Chu Mingcheng no longer insisted.

He really doesn't have much time to accompany her, so he might as well let her concentrate on finishing her work.

So, the group of people who had just boarded the boat got off the boat again and headed for the airport.

After seeing off a few people, Chu Mingcheng didn't bother to cook alone, so he simply took a taxi to Chenghuangmiao Snack Street to eat steamed stuffed buns.

Most of these famous places are probably pits.

But Chu Mingcheng didn’t know much about Modu, and couldn’t find a more suitable place on the Internet for a while, so he came here to make do with it.

It took 20 tickets to enter the Chenghuang Temple. He walked around and found that the snack street was behind, and no tickets were required.

It was me who was taken advantage of?

City God Temple earned twenty oceans with tears and blood?

Walking into the snack street, Chu Mingcheng saw all kinds of pan-fried buns outside, as well as meat such as roast chicken.

I ordered three pan-fried buns with different fillings, plus a bowl of drink and a roast chicken, and it cost 173 yuan.

Find a place to sit down, just about to taste the taste of the pan-fried buns here, but suddenly someone patted on the shoulder twice.

"Hey, hello my savior, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Chu Mingcheng turned around in astonishment, only to find a beautiful woman standing behind him with a small satchel and a dinner plate in her hand.

"Shu Zichen?"

"Isn't it a surprise?" Shu Zichen smiled and sat opposite him, "I came here to play, I didn't expect such a coincidence, you came to play too?"

"I'm here to sell fish, so I came here to have a stroll and have a meal." Chu Mingcheng was a little surprised to see her, and he didn't hide anything about his coming here.

"Selling fish?" Now it was Shu Zichen's turn to be a little surprised, "Are you doing seafood wholesale?"

"I'm a professional fisherman, and I went to the far sea to catch some tuna. Isn't there a tuna trading market here, so I came here to sell it." Chu Mingcheng picked up a crab roe pan-fried bun, and a little bit of juice came out immediately after one bite.

At first he thought the taste was average, but unexpectedly it was not bad.

"Tuna?" Shu Zichen obviously didn't know about fishing as a profession, but she wasn't interested in it either. After chatting for a few words, she suddenly asked, "Didn't Ah Wei come here?"

"A Wei." Chu Mingcheng was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that she would suddenly ask Zhang Wei, and then his expression became a little strange, "He came here, but he just left, which is a bit of a coincidence."

"That's it!" Shu Zichen's expression was normal, and he didn't show anything.

But Chu Mingcheng had a desire to find out, and gossip began to stir in his heart.

His mouth opened, and he wanted to ask something, but he didn't know how to ask.

But I also thought that Zhang Wei seemed to be a bit resistant to her, and she had nothing to do with me, so it seemed okay to ask directly, so I said, "I heard that you went to look for Ah Wei before, you don't like him, do you?" ?”

Shu Zichen didn't blush or feel embarrassed when he heard this, but frowned: "I just want to apologize to him and treat him to a meal. After all, I almost hurt him back then."

"When I went to the store to look for him, I found that he seemed to hate me a bit, so he hid when he saw me."

Hearing this, Chu Mingcheng's face became even weirder. I am a lifesaver anyway, why don't I treat guests to dinner and thank you?

But he is willing to do things like dig a hole for a friend.

"It's not that he hates you, it's just that he is timid. What happened that time cast a shadow on him. Personally, I think you should persevere. He will come back to Shanghai in a few days. Why don't you go see him again?"

"Really? Can you add your contact information, and tell me when he comes."

"No problem, I promise to notify you when he comes."

What is a bad friend, this is it.

Chu Mingcheng didn't see the scene of Zhang Wei hiding from Shu Zichen last time, but this time he had to experience everything. He was really curious about Zhang Wei's reaction.

As for whether that guy will harm Shu Zichen, Chu Mingcheng is not worried.

Zhang Wei never harms good girls, nor does he harm clingy women who are responsible, for fear of being entangled.
