Chapter 107: Boston Fish Farm
"The 40-meter shrimp, the 30-meter tiger spotted sword, the 100-meter king crab, the 100-meter geoduck, the 30-meter dragon pack, the 12-meter red sword, the 240-meter red sword, the 240-meter Su Mei, the 20-meter summer brow, the 40-meter at this time, the 40-meter at Atlantic salmon, the 60-meter bluefin gold gun, the 45-meter yellow fin, the 65-meter big-eyed tuna, the 100-meter masu tuna..." Sitting in the car heading to Boston, Jiang Hai looked at the table in his hand and muttered in a low voice. ◇↓
Edward Anderson, who was driving, smiled and looked at Jiang Hai, then shook his head gently.
Since Jiang Hai wanted to raise precious seafood that day, he has been studying these things as if he was possessed by the devil.
He first checked some information online, and then went to the local aquatic products market to ask, of course, there were also Chinese restaurants.
What he is muttering now is the data he has developed these days. Of course, the units are all kg. There is no such thing as pound in the United States. If it is converted into pounds, Jiang Hai is still lazy to do it like this.
Aquatic products, especially seafood, are naturally different in locations and sizes.
What he said was the normal average price, not the best price.
No matter what it is, as long as it is a special product, the price is not ordinary. Take the cod that Jiang Hai thinks is worthless as an example. As long as the cod exceeds one meter, it will have to be sold for thousands of US dollars every day. If it exceeds one meter of US dollars, it will have to be sold for tens of thousands of US dollars.
Usually, cod that can be shipped is only 30 cm long, which is a limited amount of more than one pound. The two are combined, but not 1.5 kilograms. This is the difference. However, these small ones can only sell for 80 cents per pound, and one pound of chilled fish can be sold for 75 cents per pound. This is the first time Jiang Hai has known a term, chilled fish.
There are two ways to preserve fish. One is to completely freeze the fish at a temperature of minus 60 degrees Celsius.
Although this will not break and is suitable for long-distance transportation, it also destroys the original taste of the fish. Generally speaking, except for large-scale ocean fishing boats, few fishing boats do this. Of course, some cheaper fish will also do this.
As for chili, it is necessary to use low temperature to freeze the fish slightly. The freezing time is limited and can only be kept for twelve days. However, if it is sold to a fishmonger on the eleventh day, the fishmonger will not collect it.
Basically, this kind of fish is taken that morning and sold in the afternoon, so people will want such fish. These fish are basically expensive guys. If the price of a commoner does not exceed thirty US dollars, the fisherman will not be willing to throw the fish in the frozen warehouse. You should know that the freezer is just like the frozen layer of the refrigerator, an ice warehouse. The frozen warehouse, like the air conditioning room, requires electricity consumption, which is diesel on the sea, is not ordinary high.
So Jiang Hai has been looking for those precious sea fish in the market these days. As of now, the situation is pretty good.
In fact, if you want to make money by raising fish, the best choice is cod, because Jiang Hai's fishing ground is next to Winthrop, driving a boat may be faster than driving. After fishing in the morning, you will go to sell it. It is definitely frozen. One pound can be sold for 75 cents per pound. Even if one pound is one pound, according to Edward Anderson's idea, the survival rate is at least about 60%, and there are also six million tails, one pound and one pound is seventy-five cents. The combined, it is also
With a total investment of about 10.5 million US dollars, plus some supporting "fish food" income, an annual income of 12 million US dollars should not be a problem. However, we have to dig out the investment of fish fry, the second year's fish fry money, the money for building an ecosystem, the workers' money, the diesel money for ships, etc. The total investment in the fishing ground will be about 30 million US dollars. If you are lucky, you can make a profit in three years. In the fourth year, you can at least stabilize. Nearly half of the money can be earned every year. Of course, this half of the money will also be taxed.
However, at least before you make a profit, you don’t have to worry about taxes. This is also one of the benefits of the US imperialists. For these farmers and fishermen, they only charge the money they earn, not the tax on the money they earn.
Originally, according to Edward Anderson's algorithm, Jiang Hai still had the money invested so much. After all, this money does not need to be invested in at one time. Secondly, Edward recently investigated the underwater situation of Jiang Hai's fishing ground.
I found that there were definitely many fishing groups underwater. With the rest of the past ten years, the underwater ecosystem of Jianghai is extremely perfect.
The number of fishing groups is quite considerable. Even in winter, there are many fish underwater. According to Edward's preliminary estimate, there must be nearly 10 million fish. Of course, this refers to the situation when it is to be fished out.
With this ten million, not to mention just supporting the fishing ground income for the first year, even for all the buildings, Jiang Hai is enough.
But according to Edward Anderson's words, there was nothing wrong with doing this, but he was a little unwilling to accept it. He kept thinking that if he was raising fish, he had golden fingers, why couldn't he raise some fish with 13 glowing cows? This was why he went to the market to inquire with the Huaxia Hotel.
Of course, in addition to these things, there are some very valuable things, but Jiang Hai has never thought about raising them. At least now, the most famous ones are sea cucumbers and abalone. They are entirely because of these two things. They have no sales in the United States. Although they have just sold in China, they are like fishermen in the Atlantic region. Even though they know that the same thing will double the price when sent to China, but how to send it over? This is a problem. Some top goods can be air-carred, but what about the transactions of the big comprehensive industry?
All air freight? That's all... After freezing at ultra-low temperature, it will be different after it is frozen and then suffocated. The taste will be different and it cannot be sold at all. The chilled ones only have twelve days of preservation. The first day is caught and the next day is sent. If you walk on the sea, without any trouble, cross the Atlantic Ocean, cross the Indian Ocean, and then the Pacific Ocean, turn a corner, and go to China. The twelve days are enough to be a waste of money... So although Jiang Hai has the ambition to raise a lot of top-quality ambitions, everything has to be taken slowly.
At least it has to be proven that he can raise such good things, and then decide whether to raise them after confirming the sales route.
But no matter what he decided to raise the fish fry, he was determined to raise it, but the quantity was a problem. At the same time, since he decided to raise the fish, no matter what fish he raised, the ecosystem was ready to start building. So today, Edward Anderson took Jiang Hai to Boston, and they were going to raise the fish.
But shortly after getting off the expressway, they saw the Celtic North Shore Garden Arena in the distance.
Looking at the arena over there, Jiang Hai couldn't help but think of the trial that day. It was really funny. The ten-day short contract...
Of course, after that day, it was actually the third day after that day. When they lost to the Nets at home and the Wizards away, Everd Bradley and Brad Stevens came to Jiang Hai's home with a guaranteed contract with an annual salary of 1.98 million, hoping that Jiang Hai could agree to join, but not to mention an annual salary of 1.98 million, even if it was an annual salary of 19.8 million! Uh... Maybe Jiang Hai was tempted, but unfortunately there was no zero, and the gap was still big.
What he did was not worth two million US dollars? What's more, he had to pay half of the tax on the US imperial government, which added up to one million US dollars. Are he short of this little money? Just kidding! At that time, he went into the sea and went around for more than this number.
So in the end, Jiang Hai still did not agree. Both of them said that they would not give up. Jiang Hai didn't care whether they would give up, because it would be the New Year that followed.
There is really nothing good about the New Year in the United States. There is no interesting Christmas at all, and there is no sense of focus battles. In other words, some TV stations will do some New Year's Eve concerts. If Jiang Hai is in New York, he can go to Times Square to watch the concert, then pick up a girl, count down, and maybe he can have a kiss that ends the New Year, or something like that.
But obviously, he didn't have the intention to go for it, so he stayed at home for the New Year's Eve this year.
With January, the Boston area also came to its coldest time this year. After Bell also returned, Robbins and others had to end the holiday early and began to get busy. As for John and Louis, they also returned to the place they should go after the New Year. Although Jiang Hai’s manor was very fun, they still had something they had to estimate after all.
Edward and Jiang Hai also have something to do, that is, they are going to buy water plants.
The basic composition of the ecological food chain: big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, and shrimp eat aquatic plants.
Fish farming in Boston, unless you raise those strange fish, basically, the fry will be put in the beginning of spring, that is, in March, and the fry will have to eat when they reach the sea. Of course, they can be eaten at a designated location, but they also need to hide to avoid being eaten by big fish. Therefore, when the fry is put in, the ecological environment must be built.
As the most basic food chain, aquatic plants need to be put into place first. After the aquatic plants grow for about a month, they must start to put into place shrimp seedlings, crab seedlings, shell seedlings, etc. After these seedlings grow for another month, they must start to put into place fish fry.
However, because the sea water in March is still very cold, when the fry is put, it is necessary to place larger individuals. Too small and juvenile bodies cannot do. These are all requirements. Jiang Hai was not very clear about it before, and he had to admit that he learned until he was old.
While Jiang Hai was thinking about what to raise in his mind, the car slowly drove into the port in the downtown of Boston where Jiang Hai had arrived, but this time he went to another direction.
Jiang Hai saw a large area of grid boxes from afar, which is the wholesale fish fry in Boston.
