Chapter 252 The Zhou Family Comes to Nanzhen

"Do you know how much fishermen in America get for a bluefin tuna weighing over 200 pounds when they bring it to the fishmongers?"

Instead of explaining to Luo Qianqian why the price was so much cheaper than what Yu Muzhou offered, Zhou Miao asked her a question.

Luo Qianqian, who didn't pay attention to these things, naturally didn't know, so she shook her head blankly.

"How would I know? The prices are probably higher in America!"

"A bluefin tuna weighing over 200 pounds would be priced between six thousand and ten thousand US dollars over there, depending on its fat content."

"So cheap?"

Luo Qianqian was taken aback, as was Lu Xiaoxiao.

"Yes, it's that cheap. Fishmongers sell the fish to exporters, who then sell them to the country of Little Life. Because of the resale and international shipping costs, the bluefin tuna sells for a very high price in Little Life."

"But the exorbitant prices you see online are just a publicity stunt by Xiao Ri Zi, a special event designed to grab attention with outrageous prices. The expensive price only applies to that one fish, not all the fish."

Therefore, the actual price of sashimi-grade bluefin tuna is between 100,000 and 300,000.

T

After Zhou Miao's explanation, Luo Qianqian finally understood the market value of bluefin tuna.

"That 170,000 is already considered upper-middle class!"

"Yes, that's quite a lot. You and Xiaoxiao can split the money. I have to go out for a bit."

With the 180,000 yuan from selling fish, Zhou Miao's pockets were a little fuller, but he still had three bonuses to claim!

He had originally planned to discuss the acquisition of the guesthouse with Pei Yunxi that afternoon, but it seems that it will have to be postponed again.

So at 2 p.m., Zhou Miao arrived at the Coast Guard department.

The discovery of these three listening devices has drawn serious attention from the entire Nanzhen leadership, and the news has even reached the city level.

Because this number is so outrageous—one person got three units—it would undoubtedly make the authorities think that there are listening devices everywhere in the domestic waters.

After Zhou Miao returned, they immediately launched an investigation and concluded that the proportion of listening devices caught by other fishermen in the past two months was very low, similar to that of previous years.

The leaders were relieved and thought that Zhou Miao's situation was just a coincidence.

However, under normal circumstances, if someone manages to get their hands on three listening devices, it would be commendable and worthy of praise, and should be reported by a reporter.

Originally, some leaders had planned to do this, but coincidentally, an investigation team came down from above and began an anti-corruption investigation in various parts of the province.

Someone in the neighboring Da Na Cup market has already voluntarily turned themselves in.

This resulted in Zhou Miao being left unattended, and he easily received the bonus from the Coast Guard.

The prize money for this thing is not fixed. For two metal tubes, the total prize money is 100,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 50,000 yuan per tube, just as Zhou Miao expected.

However, the final glider unexpectedly became involved in a spy-related incident, and Zhou Miao received a reward of 150,000 yuan for his significant contribution.

Zhou Miao then learned from Ye Hengyi that someone had helped crack a major espionage network case and was rewarded with 500,000 yuan.

Zhou Miao suddenly understood why the Chaoyang aunties in Beijing were so vigilant and enthusiastic—because free money really does smell good!

With a bonus of 250,000 yuan and another 480,000 yuan from bluefin tuna, even though Zhou Miao hadn't had time to sell his batch of deep-sea fish, he had enough money to buy a guesthouse and purchase mid-range eco-friendly furniture.

As for the money owed to Yu Muzhou, there's no rush to repay it right now; the money should be used to develop ourselves first.

It was already dark when they returned to the fish raft. After dinner, Luo Qianqian officially started her live broadcast.

When things go smoothly for you, everything else goes smoothly too.

The live stream that evening was a great success; they sold a third of the deep-sea fish they brought back immediately.

Luo Qianqian also opened an online store and does a live stream every day, and the fish sell very quickly.

Subsequently, customer feedback began to arrive one after another. Apart from malicious negative reviews from competitors, normal customers generally gave positive reviews.

Zhou Miao also took the opportunity to discuss the acquisition of the homestay with Pei Yunxi in the past two days. Originally, she planned to acquire 70%, but in the end, she only sold 50%.

She could use the remaining 50% as her dowry, provided Zhou Miao dared to accept it.

Of course he didn't want it. He was joking. The dowry wasn't his anyway; it wasn't a bride price, it was given to the woman unconditionally.

After she marries him, her dowry will remain in her own hands, and she can take a share of his money later.

As his career grew, Zhou Miao had long since given up on the idea of ​​getting married.

Luo Qianqian and Lu Xiaoxiao both followed him when he was still struggling, so marrying either of them would be unfair to the other, let alone a newcomer.

Getting 50% is enough. For Zhou Miao, the fish raft has always been a backup plan, a contingency plan in case the system runs away.

The money earned from fishing rafts is incomparable to the money earned from going out to sea, but if he loses the system one day, he can still live quite comfortably on fishing rafts.

After all, based on the current income, it can earn around two million a year.

But fish rafts alone were not enough, so Zhou Miao and Yu Muzhou started looking for large fishing boats.

The gold is not going to be exchanged for money; it will be given directly to Yu Muzhou later.

We should continue selling silver, because there's too much of it.

The search for the ship lasted for half a month, and finally a new ship that had stopped renovations was found in the next province.

Like the Flying Swallow, the ship owner also encountered financial problems and was preparing to sell the ship.

However, this acquisition was not as smooth as the Feiyan. After all, the other party only encountered some minor problems and did not plan to operate the ship, so they would not sell it off cheaply.

After a week of negotiations, they finally secured the deal for 32 million.

This is a luxury fishing boat, 55 meters long, which can take 98 customers out to sea at a time.

The number of people a boat can carry depends not on its size, but on local policies.

Even with Yu Muzhou pulling strings, it was still blocked by the passenger capacity limit of no more than 100 people.

Even with fewer than 100 people, the experience for tourists can be better. At least when fishing, it won't be so crowded, and the rooms can be decorated to be more spacious.

Of the 32 million yuan ship, Zhou Miao and Yu Muzhou each owned 50%, which means each of them contributed 16 million yuan.

Zhou Miao certainly couldn't come up with that much; their current limit was only around seven million.

Fortunately, this time it's an installment payment plan. I'll pay 50% upfront and the rest over three years.

After the boat operation was settled, Zhou Miao's parents officially moved to Nanzhen.

With such a commotion, Zhou Miao's older brother and sister could not possibly have gone unnoticed.

They followed him to Nanzhen to find out what was going on. They were astonished to learn that their younger brother had built such a huge business and was surrounded by women.
