"Wow, that’s a lot of fish!"Jiang Hai said suddenly while looking at the crowd moving around the fish market.
"It’s still January, the coldest time of the year here, not many people sell fish. If it is in October, there would be twice as many people here." Philemon said beside Jiang Hai after hearing him. When he heard his words, Jiang Hai just nodded absentmindedly while looking at what looked to be a thousand people gathered. If it is several times more, does that mean that there are tens of thousands of sales per day? Fish really is profitable.
Just as Jiang Hai and Philemon were chatting, the fishing boat slowly entered the port.
Most of the offshore fishing boats are more than 25 feet, these boats can be used to catch fish in the deeper parts of the ocean.
Of course, the real big ship is a purse seiner, it can be as big as 70 meters or hundreds of meters.
However, in terms of trawling, Jiang Hai’s fishing boat is considered to be the largest of the trawlers.
After arriving at the port, this giant trawler naturally attracted the attention of many people.
"Hey, Turner, aren't you a cowboy?" And many of those who noticed Jiang Hai’s fishing boat came from Winslow even though they don’t share the same line of work, they still know who Philemon is.
"Whoever said that cowboys can't catch fish, it's just rare." After hearing the voices below them coming from the other fishing vessels, Philemon replied to them. Hearing Philemon, Jiang Hai smiled.
If it wasn’t for Edward and him abducting Philemon, he would probably not even step on a fishing boat.
"Well, Philemon, don't quarrel with these guys. Go to the office to tell them that we have a lot of fish here, while I line up here." Edward said to Philemon when he heard him quarrelling with the other fishermen
When selling fish, even if it is a woman, there is no priority privilege. According to the words of these fishermen, even if the President of the United States comes, he must still line up outside! When he heard Edward, Philemon responded and when the ship approached the dock, he jumped directly from the boat and ran towards the office in the distance.
As for Jiang Hai, he sat on a chair and looked at the scenery outside feeling like a true rich man.
Because he has only been in Boston to buy a boat, he didn’t really explore the city much. Now that he’s looking at one of the oldest cities in the US from the comforts of his boat, Jiang Hai felt good.
In fact, it is not that he does not want to look around, but he does not know the location well, and there’s no one to accompany him. There are only two people his age in his estate, but whether it is Herman or Bell, both of them are very busy. Every day they spend their time hurrying around the ranch. How will they have the time to accompany Jiang hai?
Every morning, when they wake up, they have to feed the cows, clean up the cow dung, and check if the cows are injured or sick. If you have any spare time, you should go to the manor’s fence to see if there is anything that needs fixing.
Make sure that there are no people or wild animals sneaking in, etc, and the most important thing is that the cowboys have no rest days, so they are so busy every day, which makes Jiang Hai somewhat speechless.
At the same time, he doesn't know what to do on the street. He doesn't even have a male friend to accompany him, much less a girl companion. If he wants to buy clothes, or if he wants to eat out, he goes directly to Winthrop since everything he needs is there.
If not, he can also buy online, the US Amazon is not worse than the Chinese online shopping site.
He is too lazy to just roam Boston.
"Too boring..." Looking at the boat slowly moving forward, Jiang Hai whispered.
However, although it is boring, he's too lazy to do anything else. Being rich and being content with his small number of friends, is making Jiang Hai lazy, although there is no merit in this, he is still satisfied.
While Jiang Hai was watching the scenery there, there were also many people watching him, as the saying said, while you are watching the scenery, the scenery is also watching you. (TN: I just made this up. I’m not familiar with Chinese sayings and the literal translation is all over the place)
These people may seem to be looking at Jiang Hai, but they are not looking at him, but looking at the money behind him.
Although Boston is located on the east coast, there are still plenty of Chinese here and the people here do not recognize Jiang Hai.
But there are a lot of people who know Philemon and Edward. These two people have joined the Green Forest Manor. These people naturally heard that the Green Forest was bought by a young Chinese boss.
So looking at Jiang Hai, they feel that Jiang Hai should be that young Chinese boss.
"He doesn't look anything special. He doesn't look like a rich man?"
"All the Chinese are rich. You don't understand. Maybe he is the son of a company owner!"
"Look at his short height and his unblemished complexion. He doesn’t look like someone who has braved the sea! He looks like a washed-up model."
"Isn’t he a billionaire? Hehe..."
When they saw Jiang Hai, these fishermen whispered to each other. Of course, their so-called whispers were passed into the ears of Jiang Hai. As for what he heard, Jiang Hai could only pout, as he was being discussed by others. He has long been used to it.
Think about it, when he married his wife, oh, his ex-wife, he became the talk of the town.
He had been called a man whore, and a pig who wanted to eat swan meat, and all he could do before was to endure it.
What those people said was nastier than what he heard from these fishermen. Although these fishermen do not say anything good now, at least they don’t say it where Jiang Hai could hear... or so they think.
While the public continued to talk about Jiang hai, Jiang Hai’s fishing boat is slowly moving forward. Time passed by and now they are in front of the line while their catch is being inspected.
"I see you struck gold!" One of the big men saw some of the fish in the pool and gave Philemon a couple of ‘gentle’ backhand taps on the chest while talking to him excitedly.
"Haha, it's not me who made a fortune, but our boss who made a fortune, well, enough of this, hurry up and move these things down!" Philemon said after hearing the other person. After hearing him, several people walked over and proceeded to unload everything.
When they unloaded the pool with live fish, the people who were on the side of the crowd couldn't help but take a breath.
"It really is a sailfish! And it’s still alive!" Seeing the huge figure in the pool, everyone's eyes were concentrated on it.
"Good guy, your luck is really great, you even caught something like this." At this time, an old man emerged from the crowd. The old man looks like he is fifty or sixty years old, but he is still very Strong.
"All the credit goes to our boss. He is a lucky boy." Philemon and Edward knew that they couldn’t have caught the sailfish alone. That is the credit of Jiang Hai's sand tiger shark. If it wasn’t for it, there wouldn't have been anything to catch. So Edward naturally didn’t take the credit.
"Lucky young man, this fish is great, very good. After all, this is a living sailfish, so for this fish, I have a hundred thousand dollars." No fish is worth this much dead, even the legendary bluefin tuna is not worth 100,000 US dollars, but this is a living sailfish.
If you have the proper connections, it can be sold to some rich people as pets, or sent to the aquarium, whether it is the US government or the rich, it can be sold for 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Buying a live sailfish is a very happy occasion for these guys. Of course, you need to have the proper connections first.
"Deal, take a look at the other fish we caught today." Jiang Hai said while shaking hands with the old man. After trading the fish, he directly transferred Jiang Hai’s 100,000 US dollars. After Jiang Hai’s decision was made, the old man hurriedly sent the fish away. After all, a dead sailfish is worthless, he does not want to lose money.
