It stands to reason that raising more expensive fish is naturally the most profitable. The price of a fry is 1 US dollar and 15 cents. The cost of raising a fish for two years is about 50 US dollars. If it grows to 15 kilograms, you can sell it for 30 US dollars per kilo, that is four hundred and fifty dollars per fish. It looks quite cheap, but one fish makes four hundred dollars. One hundred fish is forty thousand, and one million fish is 30 million, but if you want to raise one million fish, based on the survival rate, you have to buy three million fish fry. It adds up to one hundred and fifty million dollars. Some people say it's still very profitable.
But understand, there may be any natural disasters, what if a tsunami hits? Typhoons are also common here in Boston.
Therefore, people who are willing to take the risk to raise this fish are rare here in the U.S. They are basically farmed on a small scale. No one wants to raise these things on a large scale.
"The remaining red sea bream, I won’t recommend it to you, because these fish are solitary, and it’s hard to catch them after you raise them. This is the last one, American Redfish, this kind of fish just started to be popular in recent years. Though I heard that it’s very popular in China. The price per kilogram of adult fish is about twelve dollars, but young fish is cheaper, twenty cents, about the same as cod. It’s more expensive and easier to raise. It grows fast. It can grow up to three kilograms in a year, and the smallest can weigh more than one kilogram. The only troublesome thing is that it eats a lot and is prone to sickness. It requires high seawater. " After introducing the grouper and the dragon stingray, Tony introduced this fish to Jiang Hai, the American red fish, which is also cultivated in China.
Recently, this fish is popular in China.
So here in the US, this fish is not very hard to sell, and the most important thing is that this fish is easier to raise, and the fry are cheap. If the water quality of the fishery is not problematic and the disease does not grow, this fish is very profitable.
Twelve dollars per kilogram. Based on the average of two kilograms for one year, that’s twenty-four dollars a year. A fish can earn twenty-two dollars, and one million tails is twenty-four million dollars. The survival rate is much bigger than the grouper, and it's easy to feed. This kind of fish does not have any expensive eating habits. As long as there is sufficient food, it is not a big problem. So when Jiang Hai heard it, he was starting to like this fish.
"Can you mix it with my order?" Jiang Hai asked and proceeded to tell Tony the fish that he wanted.
……………...
"Boss, are you sure about the fishes you want to raise?" Edward looked at Jiang Hai after getting in the car and asked.
"Yes, I’ve already decided!" Hearing Edward's words, Jiang Hai also smiled and said to him.
"Well, you’re the boss. Though I have never raised fish like these." Edward said with a sigh, because Jiang Hai decided to polyculture just now.
He wants to raise 3 million American red fish, 200,000 groupers, 200,000 giant groupers, and finally 50,000 salmon.
These are just the fishes. In addition to these things, he also wants to raise other things, such as emperor crabs. They are sold by ton, and a ton costs 500,000 dollars. then tiger prawns, Jiang Hai also bought a ton, a ton for 300,000 dollars, and a ton of Maine lobsters for 20,000 dollars a ton. Fortunately, his fishing ground is big enough, otherwise, these things alone will be enough to mess up the fishing ground.
Someone said, shouldn’t one build a better environment for the fish, before buying the fish?
Naturally, they have talked about that with Tony and Edward. According to Tony, Jiang Hai should pay a deposit first, and Tony will prepare the rest, but Jiang Hai was also too lazy to talk about the details, and since Edward trusted Tony he’ll leave it to them so they signed the contract directly, and then Jiang Hai slapped all the money over. Faced with the style of a local tyrant like Jiang Hai, Tony was going crazy.
He has never encountered such a wonderful customer. In addition to freight, labor, and fish fry, he earned at least 300,000 in this business. The income of 300,000 will keep him afloat for a few years. After receiving the money, he patted his chest and promised Jiang Hai that he would bring Jiang Hai the best fry.
At the same time, Jiang Hai was given one ton of lobster, one ton of bamboo prawns, one ton of premium Australian abalone and two tons of oysters. and finally they were given five tons of Arctic sweet shrimp.
Jiang Hai has to admit that he is good at doing business. Just giving these things makes Jiang Hai very happy. If he does things more carefully, Jiang Hai will definitely come to him for his fish needs in the future.
But after the money was spent, Jiang Hai learned that the real big money has not yet been spent.
Because of buying too many fish, shrimps, and crabs, the food originally needed in Jiang Hai’s fish farm has also increased rapidly.
According to Edward’s calculation, the number of seeds of aquatic plants also increased. Originally, only about one hundred thousand U.S. dollars was enough for seeds, but now it seems that it has to be three hundred thousand. Tony is also responsible for contacting the proper sellers, but the call to discuss matters will be handed over to Edward and Jiang Hai.
The person on the other side heard that it was a big business of 300,000. Without a word, he drove over and signed the contract. The balance of 300,000 worth of seaweed seeds was also paid in full. The other party was almost floating with happiness at the time, saying that he would go back to arrange a plane to plant it, and he would definitely help Jiang Hai plant it in three days.
In addition to the seaweed and other seeds, Jiang Hai also needs to buy food for these valuable fish, shrimp, crabs etc..
That is, cuttlefish, mullet, a variety of shellfish, these creatures living at the bottom of the ocean food chain.
To buy them, according to Edward’s calculations, it would cost about 3.2 million. This is only the first batch, because these guys are just food. Wait until the little guys in the fish farm grow up. When they grow big, it's natural to buy more of these guys to put in. Originally, according to Edward's statement, you can put in some bait and the like, which can save a lot of money.
But Jiang Hai thought about it, and he still felt that it would be better for these fish to catch prey on their own.
In Jiang Hai’s mind it is better to raise these fish similar to the wild, so Jiang Hai is not willing to feed it.
"I have to find a way to get the boss back some money first, or it might turn troublesome." Edward muttered to himself while he glanced at Jiang Hai.
In the end, it seemed that he decided on something and was determined to see it through.
"Boss, let's go fishing tomorrow.". Edward Anderson turned his head, looked at Jiang Hai beside him, and said to Jiang Hai with a serious face. Jiang Hai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Fishing? Good!" Looking at Edward's serious look, Jiang Hai's eyes began to light up. Fishing, seems nice.
