Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

There were relatively few people in the seafood market at noon, and since it is a storage market, large trucks drove directly to the store entrance.

The stalls outside the store were filled with large fish that were over a foot long and were frozen solid.

The guy came over and said, "Master, please move the car forward. It's blocking our stall."

Liu Xia Lian jumped down from the driver's seat and said, "Looking for your boss Li Hu, I'll leave right away."

Li Hu came out with a driver and was very surprised to see the brand new truck at the door: "My God, this truck is really big. It can carry more than 10,000 kilograms."

"Of course you can. Let your driver learn from the old squad leader. After all, driving in the team is very different from driving here."

"Okay, Xiao Zhang, go learn from Brother Liu. In the team, driving is mainly about being aggressive, but in our society, driving is mainly about being steady. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, boss. I understand. We do business to make money. If you drive well and steadily, you will have fewer problems."

Driver Xiao Zhang followed Liu Fuhong onto the truck and went to a nearby road to practice driving. Xiao Zhang was also a retired cyclist and had a lot in common with Liu Fuhong.

Liu Xia Lian came to Li Hu's office. The office was quite simple because it was next to the cold storage and there was no heating. There was only a homemade heater. The temperature in the room was still okay. The stove was in the outer room. There were several round holes on the glass of the office for ventilation to prevent gas poisoning.

Liu Xialian asked: "After opening four stores in the provincial capital, sales should have increased, right?"

Li Hu was very satisfied and said with a smile, "Although there is still a gap with Xu Xiong, it is much better than before. Recently, we have started to focus on receiving goods. We can only catch 300 to 500 kilograms of fish a day by breaking the ice from Lijiatun and the forest farm, which is not enough to supply our own restaurant. The seafood brought from Yingkou some time ago has been sold out. In the past two days, we have commissioned Zhang Wang's fleet to transport ten trucks of marine fish. We have to purchase several batches before the New Year. The prices of Spanish mackerel, croaker, squid, and prawns vary, but they are selling very fast."

"Okay, work hard. After the New Year, we will open stores in several nearby cities and try to cover all urban areas. Aquatic products are indispensable in life. Although they are not as profitable as electronic products, they are definitely suitable for long-term business. You also need to learn how to transform yourself from a fisherman to a manager. Don't be in a hurry, take your time."

Li Hu seemed to be thinking about something. "Sister, I want to ask you to go to Liancheng with me these two days to pull a truck of large shrimps. The price of shrimps is high and the profit is huge. Ten thousand kilograms of shrimps can make ten thousand yuan. One trip can definitely make a millionaire. I am still a little worried without the protection of a master like you."

"With our relationship, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I don't believe that you, Li Hu, have been the boss for such a long time, and you are still worried about goods worth tens of thousands of dollars. What Mang Village lacks the most is heroes who are not afraid of death."

Li Hu scratched his head. "I am showing you the big fishing boats in the sea. I am considering adding three fishing boats to the Songhua River next year. One will be in my hometown, and three will be in the provincial capital. I want to buy a boat to test the waters. I heard that when there is fish news, a boat can carry tens or even hundreds of tons of cargo. We can build a cold storage on the seashore, and bring the cargo to our place in winter to sell. How much we sell, the more we make money."

Liu Xia Lian was quite surprised. She didn't expect that Li Hu would actually think of buying a boat and going out to sea to fish.

"Did you come up with this idea yourself, or did someone else suggest it to you?"

"I think so myself. I have made several trips to Yingkou this year to buy goods and have also visited their fishing boats. They are indeed making a lot of money. One boatload of fishing from a sea vessel is equivalent to a year's fishing from a river vessel."

Liu Xia Lian smiled and said, "There are three kinds of suffering in the world: ironwork, fishing, and tofu making. Fishing on a sea boat is completely different from fishing on a river boat. The river is so wide, and most of the time the current is very stable, with little wind and waves. Although you can't make a fortune, the risk is very small. It's completely different on the sea, and the risk increases several times. Are you sure you want a sea boat?"

"Of course. Compared to the risks of fishing at sea, many people are more afraid of being poor. Having no money is a very scary thing. As long as the salary is high, there is no problem recruiting captains and sailors. I went to Liancheng Shipyard to see a 35-meter trawler with more than 500 horsepower. It can pull more than 200 tons when fully loaded. You don't have to go too far. You can catch a hundred tons of fish in a circle in the sea. It's easy to get a fishing license now. As long as you can buy a boat, you can get a fishing license."

Liu Xia Lian nodded: "Okay, you have ideals and plans, I support you. Last time you asked how much a 35-meter fishing boat cost?"

"That boss wants 86,000, which is really expensive, but it has great power."

Liu Xia Lian was a little surprised by the price. With 86,000 yuan, she could buy two super large courtyard houses in Beijing. Of course, she was not a professional real estate speculator, so she still had to rely on hard work.

"Okay, let's go check it out tomorrow. It's a good time to try out the new truck. The cab of this big truck can seat three people, and there's room for one more person to lie down in the back. Let's go to Liancheng to pick up 10,000 kilograms of prawns before it snows heavily. We can also check out the fishing boats. It seems that the seagoing boats have to be reserved, so they won't be delivered so quickly."

Seeing that Liu Xialian agreed, Li Hu was overjoyed: "Great, we will have a sea vessel."

Now all eight stores are profitable, but it is far from enough to buy a 35-meter sea trawler with the profit from the store. A trawler is fully loaded with more than 500 tons, and can also carry about 200 tons of net cargo. If you are willing to spend a lot of money, you can install refrigeration equipment on the fishing boat and freeze the fish directly on it, so that you can travel farther. You should know that there are many kinds of marine fish. Although Spanish mackerel and other fish are the most sold, the price is very low. If it is sea-caught prawns, it is much more expensive, ranging from 70 to 80 cents to more than one yuan depending on the size. Not to mention large yellow croaker, even in this era, the price is sky-high, ridiculously expensive.

The next morning, just after daybreak, Liu Xia Lian, Li Hu, driver Xiao Zhang, and escort Xiao Li drove a newly bought truck to Liancheng. This time the truck was not empty, as it was loaded with two meals of pickled vegetables and a ton of green peppers.

Li, the escort, was from the second team of the kimchi factory. His job was very hard. He was responsible for loading and unloading goods, and he had to stay in the carriage to watch over the goods. Because there were a lot of people climbing on the cars to steal these days, especially when the cars were going uphill and the speed was slow, these people would climb on the cars and throw things down crazily.

The journey was quite long, more than a thousand miles, which was not too far, but it took more than ten hours. Because the roads were icy in some places in this season, and there were anti-skid chains on the tires, we dared not drive too fast for safety.

Xiao Zhang's driving skills are still quite good. After all, he has been driving for three years. It's just that sometimes he steps on the accelerator a little too hard, and he can't correct it in a short time. He still needs more training.
