Chapter 481 Sea fishing; Hot Apple and Huiyuan

On the blue sea, I don’t know if it was due to the surging tide or the wind pushing the waves, but suddenly, a rustling sound came from not far away in front of me.

"Wow, look, look, the fish formation is so spectacular!"

Hearing Luo Xiu's exclamation, Guo Yang also took a closer look, "Oh, it's not bad, but using the word 'fish array' to describe it is too exaggerated. So what kind of fish is this, Master Ma?"

Master Ma is a professional ocean angler. In order to avoid going empty-handed, he was specially invited to guide everyone.

This fishing spot was also chosen by Master Ma.

Master Ma took a look and said, "It's tuna, not bad!"

"What tuna?" Lin Keqing asked in confusion.

Master Ma smiled and said, "Tuna is what people often call bluefin tuna. It is also called tuna."

"Ah, this is the tuna!" Guo Yang's eyes lit up. Tuna was among their target fish this time.

"Let's do it, let's do it."

"Hahaha, hurry up and move."

Guo Yang immediately reeled in the line and began to change equipment, taking out the squid-like bait that tuna likes to eat the most from his bag.

The fishing rod, fishing line and fishing hook were all replaced.

Master Ma looked at Guo Yang's skillful techniques and smiled. This big boss was quite professional, so he helped Lin Keqing and others to organize their equipment.

Guo Yang was the first to install the lure, release the reel brake, and use all his strength to throw the hook forward from behind.

The hook line passed over his head, drew a graceful arc, and fell into the sea.

After a while, Lin Keqing also swung his fishing rod out, but the posture was not very nice.

Guo Yang instructed: "You should keep lifting, lowering, and reeling in the fishing rod as much as possible... Repeated movements will stimulate the fish's appetite and increase its visibility."

"How do you know so much?"

Watching Guo Yang's professional reciprocating line, Lin Keqing found it difficult to learn.

"I've been practicing this for many years. I'm a professional."

Thinking of that group of tuna, Guo Yang's heart was burning with excitement, and his hands were moving so fast that smoke was coming out.

"Hey, I think I caught a fish, your trick is really effective..."

Lin Keqing had just said two sentences when she felt a strong force on her body and arms, and she also began to exert force.

Guo Yang was afraid that she would lose weight and be dragged into the sea by the fish, so he hastily tied his fishing rod to the boat railing with a rope, took big steps forward, and tied her waist to the boat railing with a safety belt.

"Is it okay? How about I do it?"

Lin Keqing shook his head and concentrated on fighting the fish. After a few minutes, a half-grown tuna was pulled up.

Guo Yang sat back in his chair and praised, "Awesome! You got the first win."

Lin Keqing smiled proudly and glanced at him, "How about we have a competition to see who catches more fish?"

"I dare not compete with you. You are a newbie and have great luck. You caught a fish so quickly. I have been fishing for such a long time and there is still no movement."

"come on!"

Guo Yang looked her over and chuckled, "Okay, but you have to give me something extra, and the loser has to be punished!"

"Ah, what punishment?"

"If I lose, you can do whatever you want to me. If you lose..." Guo Yang whispered in his ear.

Lin Keqing glared at him, "You rascal!"

Guo Yang pointed at the tuna that Master Ma had frozen and said, "You have all the goods, but I still have nothing."

Lin Keqing ignored him.

Guo Yang continued, "You only have this chance. I usually don't bet with others. If you miss it, you won't have a chance to win me in the future."

"No gambling, I'll just play by myself." As he spoke, Lin Keqing cast another ball.

Guo Yang also stood up helplessly. The reason he was sitting down just now was that he was ready to lend a hand at any time. He didn't expect that Lin Keqing could handle it by himself.

Now it's his turn to exert his strength.

After playing with it for a while, Guo Yang felt a fish taking the bait with great force. He put all his strength into pulling the fish up.

"This fish is so big, it must weigh several kilograms!"

"I estimate it's more than 100 kilograms. What a pity." Guo Yang shook his head.

Lin Keqing asked in confusion: "This one is much bigger than mine, why are you so sorry?"

"It's a pity you don't gamble."

"Bah...just thinking bad things!"

A few minutes later, Lin Keqing also caught a fish.

The two of them took turns catching fish, one after another. The white scales reflected the silver light under the sunlight.

Luo Xiu and others who were watching nearby exclaimed from time to time and asked them to fish with them, but they chose to refuse.

Time passes by unknowingly.

Until both of them were tired of playing and sat on the chairs behind them.

Master Ma came over and said, "We have a great harvest today!"

Lin Keqing said weakly: "I feel sore all over my body."

Guo Yang looked at Master Ma and asked, "How many did you catch?"

"We got a lot of fish, and the variety was good. There were about ten kinds of fish, including grouper, tuna, sea bass, roller, arrowtooth, Spanish mackerel, pomfret, salmon, horseface fish, flathead fish, eel, etc. The largest one weighed more than 160 kilograms, and the smallest one weighed about 10 kilograms."

Lin Keqing was surprised and said: "So amazing!"

She felt like she didn’t catch that much!

"Not bad." Guo Yang said with satisfaction: "I haven't had such a good time fishing for a long time. It's not bad, right? I'll take you to Xiangyang Lake for ice fishing in winter, okay?"

Lin Keqing was still thinking, "Fortunately I didn't agree to the bet, otherwise I would have been fooled." Upon hearing this, he nodded subconsciously.

"Okay!"

"Did you really agree?"

“Fishing is good too.”

After thinking for a second or two, she nodded. Compared with other wealthy people, Guo Yang's hobby was really simple. He was just a fisherman.

She also experienced the joy of fishing.

Master Ma stood at the bow and said, "The lure fishing competition in Xiangyang Lake is going well. Two of my friends have participated in the competition."

Guo Yang was surprised, "Has Master Ma been there?"

"No, I haven't been to Xinjiang yet. I never thought there would be a lure competition there."

Master Ma took out a magazine and said, "This is Luya Era. It is very popular among anglers. It was published by Xiangyanghu Company."

Guo Yang took it. He really didn't know when Xiangyanghu published the magazine.

But it makes sense when you think about it. Luya is still a new thing in the country, and magazines can help promote this sport.

"Next time, I'll ask Xiangyang Lake Company to invite Master Ma to participate. Master Ma must show his favor."

"Hahaha, it's my pleasure."

After sailing for an hour and a half, the yacht finally arrived at the harbor terminal at around 5pm. The hotel had already arranged a car to wait for us at the terminal.

The fish caught will also be brought back to the hotel for processing.

After six o'clock, Guo Yang and Lin Keqing took a shower and came to the restaurant by the sea.

The night by the sea is very charming. Under the clear and bright moonlight, the sea water, which has been showing its might all day, seems a little tired.

You can vaguely see the ripples on the open sea surface, which are constantly surging forward under the blowing of the breeze.

On the white and soft beach, there is a group of children chasing and playing...
-
Yangcheng, Jiangnan Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market.

This is one of the largest fruit and vegetable distribution centers in China and even in the world. The trading volume of fruits and vegetables has ranked first in China for six or seven consecutive years. Changjin Fruit Industry is a frequent visitor here.

On this day, a large truck from Jingning drove into the Jiangnan Market.

Many vendors in the market heard the news and gathered early. Someone cursed, "Damn, why are they all here!"

"There is no such product in the whole market. Only Changjin Fruit Industry has it. The supply is too small. I'm sure everyone wants to get some."

"It's finally here. I thought this year it would all be on e-commerce platforms."

Some people didn't say anything and waited silently for the container to be opened. Xie Yu, who was in charge of distribution at Changjin Fruit Industry, was also frightened by the scene.

I immediately decided to mention the price.

"One 9-jin package of apples costs 108 yuan. If you want to pick up the goods, please go to the counter to pay and register. Come one by one."

"Give me 100 pieces!" Someone picked up the goods immediately.

"Okay, where should I put the goods for you?"

"I'll drive the car right over."

At this time, the container was also opened, and the wholesalers squeezed their heads to look inside. The goods were still packed in gift boxes.

It is obviously a high-end product at first glance.

"I'll take 100 pieces, too."

"200 pieces!"

Xie Yu felt that the momentum was not right and shouted, "Come one by one, pick up the goods and then register the next one."

The crowd was crowded, and soon there were more wholesalers. Many people felt that something was wrong, and some could not wait any longer in order to get the goods smoothly.

"150 yuan per piece. Give me 100 pieces first."

"Damn! Who are you looking down on? 180 yuan per piece, pack mine first."

"220 yuan/piece..."

The price kept rising until it reached 240 yuan per piece. The hot scene made Xie Yu a little excited.

These wholesalers are actively hyping up the market!
In less than half an hour, a truckload of goods and a container were sold out. Xie Yu wished that the headquarters would send a few more truckloads of goods.

But he knew that was not realistic.

Ruiyang has been out for too short a time, and most of the fruits are concentrated in Jiahe’s apple orchard base.

Only a small number of retail investors in the surrounding area bought Jiahe apple saplings in the early days, which led to Ruiyang's production. It was not easy for Changjin Fruit Industry to gather a truckload of goods and send them to the Jiangnan market.

These bosses are so hungry that they are hyping it up like crazy!
Jingning has deep mountains and valleys, and there has always been a huge gap between the rich and the poor in the north and south of the county. In the past two years, people in the northern mountains have gradually become rich by growing Xanthoceras sorbifolia.

But it's still not as good as the south.

During the long-term development process, farmers in the south have explored their own model for the development of the apple industry.

First, the mountains are terraced with machines, and then planted and orchards are built to conserve water and soil and improve the growth environment for fruit trees.

Subsequently, mountain orchards emerged as a new force, and the price of mountain apples was much higher than that of Sichuan and Taiwan.

In the golden autumn of October, the apples in Jingning are red, and there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going, shuttling between the terraced orchards.

The hot apple market last year made this year's opening price also very high.

A merchant drove by and rolled down the window from time to time to ask, "Fellow countryman, how much do you sell apples for?"

"Red Fuji, 5.5 yuan per pound."

"It's too expensive, can it be cheaper?"

"No bargaining, if you don't want to buy it, go somewhere else."

The merchants could only shake their heads in disappointment and go to the next orchard.

"My friend, what kind of apples do you have?"

"Qin Guan, 3.8 yuan per catty, do you want it?"

"Forget it. There's no profit at this price, and I might even end up losing money."

When the customer was extremely disappointed, he went to the next orchard, where the apples seemed a little different.

"My friend, how much are your apples?"

"8 yuan per pound."

"Ruiyang?" The merchant's eyes lit up and he stared at the red apples in the orchard, as if he saw the RMB waving to him.

"I want it all."

For two or three consecutive years, the highest-selling apples in Jingning were not from the mountain terraces, but from the Hulu River Valley.

Ruiyang of Jiahe!
But there are very few fruit merchants who can get apples from Jiahe because in addition to exporting, Jiahe has its own sales channels.

At the base, General Manager Qiao Hui witnessed two trucks leaving the orchard one after another, one transporting apples and the other transporting fruit seedlings.

He walked towards Xu Xiaoyan, the manager in charge of seedling sales, and asked, "Is that truckload of seedlings from Huiyuan Juice?"

"Hmm!"

Qiao Hui frowned, "How much money does Huiyuan Juice owe for seedlings?"

"It should be more than 10 million. I heard that they still owe money for the seedlings of Ji Xiaobai, which is estimated to be 20 to 30 million yuan."

Xu Xiaoyan thought for a moment and said, "Should we urge the payment first? Then we can temporarily stop shipping to Huiyuan?"

"Well, stop for a moment. Be careful. I'll go ask first."

Generally speaking, they charge cash on delivery for seedlings, and the money is paid in hand at a time, and no credit is allowed.

But Huiyuan Juice was promised by the boss himself, and perhaps the group had other considerations. However, more than 10 million yuan for the seedlings is not a small amount.

Huiyuan has been making frequent moves recently and seems to have emerged from the crisis.

However, Qiao Hui knew that Huiyuan had been having financial problems after the Coca-Cola acquisition was rejected, and its juice market was severely eroded by Ji Xiaobai.

Even if it introduces Softbank SAIF Investment Fund, it may not be able to revitalize its large agricultural industry chain.

Huge apples hang on the branches, and the fragrance of the fruit is overwhelming. The workers are busy picking and packing the apples. The boxes of apples are then sent to various places.

These are medium-sized fruits sold in NIO’s fields. They are priced high, but are shipped out very quickly. Only limited quantities are available each day, and they are basically sold out in seconds once they are put on the shelves.

High-quality fruits are all sold in the offline Jiahe Supermarket, with the retail price as high as 18 yuan per catty. He doesn't know that the fruit merchants in Jiangnan Market have already driven up the prices to the sky.

Just as he was deep in thought, the phone rang urgently.

It’s Dong Xu who fell in love with Life Supermarket.

"Boss Dong, why did you find time to call me?"

In the past, it was the purchasing manager who communicated with the orchard base, but this time Dong Xu could not sit still.

"Ruiyang has become very popular in the Jiangnan market. The price has been driven up very high. The wholesale price of a 9-jin package is 240 yuan per piece!"

One pound was nearly 27 yuan, and Qiao Hui took a breath of cold air. This price was no lower than the current price of imported Aifei.

Dong Xu pondered and said, "Boss Qiao, please send me some goods, just Chinese fruits, so I can improve my reputation."

Qiao Hui said: "It is better to use Jingning apples to show off. They also supply the high-end market. Ruiyang Zhongguo is also a little tight."

"No, the price of Jingning apples is too high this year, and they are Red Fuji apples. If I buy them, I might end up with a lot of them. I don't want much, just 10,000 kilograms, to support myself in a few big cities."

"alright."

It was not easy for Qiao Hui to refuse. Although Ai Shang Shenghuo did not have a strong presence in the group, Dong Xu's position was much higher than his and he was also a sales terminal, so he might have the opportunity to be of use in the future.

Just as he was about to leave, Xu Xiaoyan ran over again, "Mr. Qiao, Huiyuan has another order, an order for 10 acres!"

"Ok?"

"Huiyuan settled the outstanding debt and also agreed to pay the advance payment and the seedling payment in batches!"

10 acres of seedlings is an order of at least or million yuan!
"Did Zhu Xinli pick up money?"
