Starting to go to the sea: I really didn’t want to be a sea king

Falling Sun Island, Niutou Ferry.

Today's sea breeze is very noisy, rolling up turbid waves, hitting the beach, wave after wave.

A metal ferry sailed through the wind and waves and slowly docked at the ferry pier.

Chu Yang jumped off the boat, and Sun Qingjun and Erhu He Jie followed behind him, full of vigor and vitality.

He went directly to He Xijun's house and opened both doors.

In the past, because she was afraid of the gossip in front of her widow, He Xijun's door was always closed to the side, at most half open.

But it's different now, it's better to open the door to do business!

"Sister He, go hang up the business license and clean up the house. It will be officially opened tomorrow."

Chu Yang ordered.

"Oh, okay!"

He Xijun responded with a smile, and went to hang up the business license and clean up the store with brisk steps.

Sun Qingjun and Hu Erhu also helped sweep and mop the floor, move tables and clean the machines.

Chu Yang became the one with the least time, wandering around the yard with his hands behind his back.

But as he walked, he always felt something was wrong.

He simply ran to the door, looked up and down carefully for a long time, and finally reacted.

"Oh, right, the doorhead!"

He still didn't think it through and forgot to order a billboard.

"What's the big deal? Just take a wooden board and write the name on it with a brush." ​​Hu Erhu said disapprovingly.

Many purchasing stations in the fishing village do this. If you are more particular, you can add a name and write "XXX Seafood Purchasing Station". If you are not so particular, you can just hang a cardboard on the door.

"No, we are a formal company. It's not good to not have a doorhead."

Chu Yang thought about it, and took out his mobile phone to call Cai You, asking her to help make a door number and a light sign, which can be used to mark the daily seafood purchase price.

Since we have already received the support from the city, the starting point is a "leading enterprise", so we must do it in a formal way.

Chu Yang also plans to rent a shop in the town and change the registered place after the money from the city arrives.

If we want to grow bigger and stronger, the resources of Niutoudu are still a little small, and Shitang Island is about the same.

In the evening, we naturally have to have a big meal again.

However, considering that we have to open the store early tomorrow morning, everyone drank two bottles of beer and then went home.

Back in the yard, Chu Yang went to the water pump to take a shower, while Chu Xi was feeding potatoes with a bottle of goat milk.

The little dog has grown a lot in the past few days. The two paws hold the milk bottle and suck it, and the black and white body shakes with satisfaction from time to time. It's delicious.

Chu Xi is very precious to this little thing. He feeds it three times a day, which is more punctual than cooking for Chu Yang.

"If you feed them so hard, they will become pigs."

Chu Yang smiled while wiping his hair.

"No way!" Chu Xi rolled her eyes at her brother and retorted.

"Forget it, go play and have a rest." Chu Yang went back to his room.

The news of the opening of the purchasing station has been released. Tomorrow is the first day. Chu Yang has to get up early and go to the site to watch.

The next morning, at 4 o'clock, Chu Yang got up from the bed.

Yawning and brushing his teeth, he used a towel to pour cold water on his face and finally got energetic.

He went out and went directly to the purchasing station.

Chu Yang thought he had gotten up quite early, but when he arrived at He Xijun's house, everyone was there and was already busy.

In the brightly lit yard illuminated by a 200-watt bulb, there were more than a dozen fishermen standing here and there, each of them carrying a plastic bucket or a net bag, in which were seafood caught early in the morning, mostly spicy snails, snails, flower snails, clams and the like.

Occasionally, you can see someone with a sea bass or a few small stone snails in a bucket, which is considered a good harvest.

Sun Qingjun was greeting guests, while Hu Erhu was busy sorting and pricing the seafood in the bucket and pocket. Uncle Hu was sitting next to the scale, and he would issue the invoice after weighing. The fishermen who got the invoice would go to the room to find He Xijun, who would pay after seeing the invoice.

All links went smoothly, everything was orderly and orderly.

Chu Yang took a tour of the purchasing station and nodded with satisfaction.

Hu Erhu was indeed an old fishmonger who had worked at the purchasing station for several years. Even if some villagers wanted to bargain, he would settle it with a few words.

In fact, several people saw Chu Yang, but they had no time to deal with him. Customers were more important.

Chu Yang didn't care. He pulled a small stool and sat in the yard to watch everyone busy, and occasionally helped to greet customers.

From 4:30 to 7 o'clock, the number of customers finally decreased.

The shareholders of the acquisition station also had time to sit down and rest, drink water and chat.

"How is it, how did you get on the first day?" Chu Yang asked with a smile.

After counting the bills, Hu Erhu finally showed his smile.A look of relief appeared on his face.

"Not bad."

About 560 catties of spicy snails, 255 catties of snails, 85 catties of flower snails, 160 catties of clams, 88 catties of sea bass, 25 catties of flounder, 22 catties of skinned fish, 13 catties of garoupa, and about 100 catties of other miscellaneous fish, totaling a little over 1,300 catties of all seafood.

This is the business report submitted by Zhui Ri Dao Seafood Co., Ltd. on the first morning of its opening.

Compared with going out to sea, the sum of these seafood is not as much as what Chu Yang dragged in a net, and most of them are worthless conchs.

But the advantage is that it lasts for a long time. This is basically available every day, unlike going out to sea to fish, where it is considered a blessing to have 3 months a year.

And this is the first day of opening. The business is basically driven by the fishermen in the village. When the reputation is spread in the future, more fishermen will naturally come to sell fish.

"The main reason is that the price we offer is high. For example, the small flower snails are 2.5 yuan, the big ones are 3 yuan, the spicy snails are 2 yuan, the snails are 1.6 yuan, and the sea bass are 12 yuan. On average, they are twice as high as Ge Yuan. They are stupid not to sell."

Grandpa Hu was smoking a dry pipe, knocking the bamboo pipe on the ground, and spoke in a cold voice.

There is no way to do this. After all, Chu Yang's purchasing station is newly opened, and the customer base cannot be compared with Ge Yuan.

For example, today, the most valuable thing we received was a few wild garji fish. We didn't see any pomfret, yellow croaker, lobster, blue crab, etc.

The simplest and most effective way to grab customers from the latter in a short period of time is to start a price war.

You 1 yuan, I will 2 yuan, you 5 yuan, I will 10 yuan, see which of those fishermen can't get along with money.

"Then there is basically no profit." Sun Qingjun blew out a smoke ring and said.

Chu Yang smiled, "There is still some profit to be made. We can take it directly to the city, and the purchase price will be higher than in the town."

"We also have to take into account the fuel cost for the round trip." Hu Erhu reminded.

"There is still some profit, but not much."

Chu Yang estimated that according to the price given today, minus the fuel cost, the gross profit is about 20%-30%.

Considering the loss of seafood, this profit can only break even.

However, Chu Yang is satisfied. He can't expect to make a lot of money from the beginning, otherwise everyone will come to open a purchase station.

He still has channels, and the price he can sell is higher than that of ordinary fishmongers, which is completely acceptable.
