“King crabs, two hundred and forty dollars... nope. Atlantic salmon is forty dollars, bluefin tuna is sixty to two hundred dollars, yellow fin is forty-five dollars, Bigeye tuna is 65 dollars..." Sitting in the car bound for Boston, Jiang Hai was muttering to himself while holding a pamphlet.
Edward Anderson only smiled while driving as he glanced at Jiang Hai, only for him to shake his head gently.
Since Jiang Hai wanted to raise precious seafood that day, he has been studying the small pamphlet like a demon.
He first checked some information on the Internet, again and again. He even went to a local aquatic product market and asked, of course, he didn’t forget to ask some local Chinese restaurants.
What he is muttering now is the data he has researched these past days.
The price of products, especially marine products, come in different prices depending on its size or location.
What he said is the normal price, not special or the best price.
Whatever it is, as long as it is not a premium product, the price would not be high. take the cod that Jiang Hai considers worthless as an example. As long as the cod is more than one meter, it will cost thousands of dollars, if it exceeds one, the price will exceed two thousand dollars.
Normally, the cod that is shipped is only 30 cm long, and a pound of chilled can only sell for 1 US dollar and 75 cents.
So Jiang Hai has been looking for those valuable marine fish in the market these days. So far, 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 right next to Winthrop. The fish that are caught here in the morning can be sold immediately to Winthrop. According to Edward Anderson’s idea, the initial investment of 10 million fish fry, with a survival rate of 60%, sold for a dollar and 75 cents , adds up to 10.5 million U.S. dollars. it shouldn’t be a problem to earn 12 million U.S. dollars a year.
First, according to Edward Anderson, Jiang Hai does not need to invest his 10 million dollars all at once. Second, Edward recently surveyed the manor’s fishery and found out that it is in good condition.
The number of different species of fishes there are considerable. Even if it is winter, there are a lot of fish underwater. According to Edward’s preliminary estimate, the fish already there are valued at 10 million dollars.
With this investment, Jiang Hai would surely profit.
So according to Edward Anderson, there is nothing wrong with buying Cod. Jiang Hai knew this but he still felt unwilling. He had been thinking that since he has the cheat called dragon blood why couldn’t he raise more expensive and equally hard to raise fish? That's why he went to the market and Chinese restaurants to inquire about it.
Of course, in addition to these things, Jiang Hai is thinking about raising even more expensive fishes, but Jiang Hai thought against it, at least not now. The most famous of them are sea cucumbers and abalones.
He has to confirm first if he really can raise these things, and after determining the market, he’d decide whether to raise it.
But no matter what he decides to raise, he is determined to raise some fry, but the quantity is a problem. At the same time, since he decided to raise fish, no matter what kind of fish to raise, their habitat must be built, so today, Edward Anderson Brought Jiang Hai to Boston, they are going to look for fishes to raise.
But soon after getting off the highway, they saw the Celtics' Garden Arena in the distance.
Looking at the arena, Jiang Hai couldn’t help but think about the trial training that day. It was really funny. The ten-day short contract...
Of course, after that day, they actually lost the game in their home arena after that Bradley and Stevens came to Jiang Hai’s home carrying a guaranteed contract with an annual salary of 1.98 million. Even if it is an annual salary of 19.8 million Jiang Hai still wouldn’t be tempted! Uh... Maybe just a little… a little, but unfortunately without that extra zero, it isn’t even worth mentioning.
What is two million dollars to him? What's more, you have to pay half of it as taxes to the U.S. government, which is a million dollars in total. Do you lack this little money? What a joke! He could casually catch some fishes and make more than that in a month!.
So in the end Jiang Hai still didn't agree. The two people who came felt very helpless, but they said that they would not give up, since Jiang Hai couldn’t control them, he left them alone. Then came the New Year.
There’s really nothing major about the U.S. New Year. It’s not as interesting as Christmas. Though, some TV stations will do some New Year’s Eve concerts. If Jiang Hai lived in New York, he could have gone to Times Square to see a concert, maybe take a girl with him, and after the countdown, maybe could score a kiss at the end of the New Year or something.
But obviously, he didn't have the intention to go, so this year's New Year's Eve, he just stayed at home.
With the advent of January, the Boston area also welcomed the coldest time of the year. After Bell returned, Robbins and others had to end their vacation early and began to get busy. As for John and Louis, they’ve already returned to their home in order to prepare for the resumption of school.
And Edward and Jiang Hai also have something to do, that is, they are going to buy underwater plants.
The basic composition of the ecological food chain, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat small shrimps, small shrimps eat aquatic plants.
The start of the fish farming in Boston, unless you raise those weird fish, is spring, that is, in March, the fry will be stocked, and when the fry are in the sea, They are fed, but they also need to hide to avoid being eaten by big fish. Therefore, when the fry are released, the ecological environment must have been established.
As the most basic of all food chains, aquatic plants need to be stocked first. After the aquatic plants have grown for a month or so, shrimp fry, crab fry, shellfish, etc. should be stocked.
After they grow for another month, they could finally release the fishes.
But because the water in narch is still very cold, when the fry are stocked, they need to be a bit bigger.
While Jiang Hai was deciding what to raise, the car slowly drove into the port on the downtown side of Boston where Jiang Hai had first visited to recruit his employees, but this time he went in another direction.
From afar, Jiang Hai saw a large area of grid boxes. This is the biggest place to find some fish seed.
---------------------------------------
TN: so apparently it's called fish seed... It's been too long since I last saw this chapter and now that i'm reading it again... kill me now. I'm just going to stick to calling them 'fry' since baby fishes are called 'fry' please forgive me that I called baby crabs as 'fry' in your mind just call them by what they're really called, zoea. God, I really need an editor. the author is building up Jiang Hai's ranch before Qi Li comes.
I'm currently editing Chaps 60 - 80
