Chapter 146

during meals.

I happened to hear other tourists chatting about someone who just went fishing and caught a 260-kilogram bluefin tuna and hung it on the fishing boat at the pier for photo display.

Suri is very interested in this.

Just after lunch, he borrowed an electric golf cart and hurriedly took Jiang Jiaya to the fishing boat pier.

I thought I might not see it.

Unexpectedly, from a long distance, a big fish was seen hanging from the fishing boat. The scene was too eye-catching and attracted many onlookers.

The workers on the boat were busy pouring ice water on the big fish to completely drain the blood from its body so as not to reduce the quality of the fish and affect the taste and price.

The sea fishing boat that Su Rui bought with money has just been delivered for more than a week, and the appearance is still brand new.

Usually, tourists are charged for sea fishing, so that experienced veteran fisherman captains can take people to fish in sea areas where there are more fish.

Because of fuel and labor costs, they are not cheap.

If only two or three tourists make an appointment for sea fishing, it is actually difficult to make money from this business. There are a large number of sea fishing boats in Hawaii, and the competition is relatively high, which is basically losing money and making money.

Not long after it opened, it actually caught such a big bluefin tuna.

It is about two meters long from head to tail. The body of the fish is graceful, like a cannonball.

When Suri saw such a fish, even he would be envious.

Although the price of bluefin tuna is relatively expensive, it is the price of cabbage in his eyes. He can buy it from the market anytime he wants to eat it, but buying it with money and catching it by himself are completely different things.

Just thinking about the scene of tug-of-war with a 260-kilogram bluefin tuna in the vast sea is exciting.

No matter the big bluefin, giant wraith or sailfish, they are all the dream fish of sea fishing enthusiasts.

A big fish like this is enough to take a picture and hang it in the most conspicuous place of your home, and brag about it for a lifetime as a talking point after drinking.

Su Rui boarded the fishing boat.

He looked around the big blue fin, and asked, "I remember that tuna is easy to spoil, so it needs to be frozen as soon as possible. The temperature is a bit high today. Is it possible to hang it outside?"

"The blood must be drained first. The Kona manager of the hotel has already said hello, saying that there are a lot of tourists today, and I will send this fish to the hotel's cold storage later, and find someone to cut it and sell it to the tourists at night."

The speaker was a Native Hawaiian.

Because of fishing at sea all year round, his skin is tanned, and he just got the job of captain of a sea fishing boat last week.

Knowing that Su Rui was the one who actually paid him his salary, he smiled so much that he showed his white teeth.

Su Rui nodded and asked:
"How much does it cost if we buy it directly? The fish looks very good, and tourists should like it. There are more than 1000 people on the island now. I'm afraid they won't be able to sell them all today. I'll cut some of them and put them in the cold storage."

The aboriginal captain was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he explained:
"No need to spend money, this fish was caught by me. I fished during work, and I didn't buy the $299 boat ticket, so it counts as your fish. I also tried to cast a rod when I went fishing with tourists in the morning. It struggled for nearly two hours before it was successfully pulled into the boat. It only cried for three days when it lost its man, and it would be a lifetime of regret if it missed a big fish. Until now, my hands are still shaking and I have no strength at all."

To say that this fish belongs to Su Rui, there is nothing wrong with it.

This is similar to when university professors engage in research and development. Most of the results belong to the school. In the final analysis, resources are borrowed to gain something.

The smile didn’t disappear, it just shifted to Suri’s face.

He was overjoyed when he heard the words, thinking that the old captain in front of him was really simple, and told him:

"Go tell the accountant yourself, I will give you a bonus of [-] this month, and I will say hello to my secretary. I don't know the market. If it is sold to outsiders, how much is this bluefin tuna worth?"

The Aboriginal captain smiled broadly.

It's not that he doesn't care about the big blue fin, the point is that keeping a job is obviously much more important than the value of a fish.

The reason why he agreed to work on the sea fishing boat before was nothing more than because he wanted to keep his income in drought and flood.

Since there is no way to keep it private now, it is better to hand it over generously, so as not to be greedy for petty gains and suffer big losses.

Simply estimated.

The captain told me: "The bigger the bluefin tuna, the fatter the meat. This fish is already considered very large, and it should sell for $25 a pound."

Calculating the price silently, if it is calculated at 25 dollars per pound, the value of the whole fish is about 4000 dollars.

This number is lower than expected.

Just as fruit vendors do not buy fruit from growers at the retail price, fishmongers do not spend a fortune buying tuna at the retail price of tuna.

If you ship the fish to some high-end Japanese food stores, the price will go up immediately.

The Japanese are notoriously fond of eating tuna, eel, saury and the like, even whales and dolphins.

Suri has been to a Japanese grocery store.

Sushi and teppanyaki, etc., have always been high in price and small in portion. They look delicate, but they are actually full of huge profits.

If you send the tuna in front of you to some high-end Japanese grocery store on Oahu, maybe in the end the boss can earn $[-] with tears in his eyes.

After some busy work.

Pull the bluefin tuna to the hotel's cold storage by car.

Su Rui took out his mobile phone and checked the information, only to find out that bluefin tuna is divided into three species: Atlantic, Pacific and Southern.

The Pacific tuna living near Hawaii can grow up to about three meters and weigh up to 450 kilograms.

Not to mention 450 kilograms, even the Pacific blue flag tuna weighing [-] kilograms is already a rare existence.

As long as you successfully catch a boat, you can write a press release. Even if you have been fishing for decades, it is still hard to come by.

Countless sea fishing enthusiasts regard this fish as a mythical existence.

Even if it happens, it may be a misfortune rather than a blessing.

Fishermen with a slightly weaker body can't stand it at all, so they can only fight by wheels.

Their strength is too great, and the two sides may play games for three or four hours before accepting their fate obediently. Many fishermen directly cut the line with tears in their eyes, fearing that they would be walked to death by fish
----------

Suri stayed on Lanai, busy watching the fish.

Stores in many parts of the United States began to stock his "Phoenix" album.

As a mini-album, there are only five songs recorded in it, two of which have already passed through the "Billboard" all the way, proving that his performance is still so stable.

Countless people have been whetted and have been looking forward to this album for a long time.

After listening to it, some fans found that the other three songs, which should have been made up, were unexpectedly good, with different styles and characteristics.

Soon there are some commentary posts on the Internet.

Su Rui searched for keywords and found that Miss Avril Lavigne was bubbling again, and posted on Facebook, "Wow, cool!! :)"

This time even Avril Lavigne's fans noticed something was wrong, and commented one after another, asking if she was interested in Su Rui, so they posted a special post every time to support her, rain or shine.

After reading the relevant remarks, Su Rui also murmured.

Recalling the meeting at the Los Angeles party a few days ago, Avril Lavigne was wearing smoky makeup, always the same, and she didn't seem to have that kind of meaning.

This made Su Rui subconsciously suspect that Avril Lavigne, the world's top singer, might be her die-hard fan.
