Chapter 353 Port 【Subscription, recommendation】

To understand the culture of a place, you must first start with the supermarket.

The local supermarket looks like a factory like a brewery, with a huge parking lot outside...

There are daily necessities area, clothing area, fresh food area, etc. in the supermarket, a large supermarket with very complete specifications.

Ai Li and Chen Xiao walked around, and Chen Mo came to the fresh food area.

I heard from the locals in Hawaii before that what Hawaii lacks most is seafood, and the most indispensable thing is seafood.

The island of Hawaii has a population of nearly 20.Like Osson City, there is a road to the sea, and it is not far away, but there is no port.

The seafood in Osson City is really not cheap.

Although it is said that the cheapest part of yellowfin tuna is only 17 yuan a catty in RMB here.

This is also the reason why there are less tuna now. In the season when there are more tuna, it is estimated to cost eleven or twelve yuan per catty.Yellowfin tuna is relatively cheap tuna, 17 RMB, which is about 2.5 US dollars in US dollars, a catty.

The price of yellowfin tuna belly fish is relatively expensive, and it costs more than [-] yuan per catty in RMB.These fish are relatively fresh and relatively cheap.

There are also a lot of fish packaged in boxes, such as red, yellow and other beautiful fish, each of which is about two or three catties, and the price is about ten dollars.It's also cheap for sea fish...

King salmon sashimi, $46 a pound.

Frozen shrimp, king crab legs, $26 a pound.

And some frozen shellfish, $4-$9 a pound.

Live seafood in the supermarket sea, such as grouper, these grouper are caught, live grouper, different species, different sizes, the price difference is also very large.By the way, there are also farmed and wild here. Wild grouper is more expensive, and it can be converted into RMB, ranging from 30 RMB to 500 RMB per catty.

There are also fresh green crabs in the supermarket, and the price after converting them into RMB is 90-200 RMB per catty.

Big crabs are expensive.

Some seafood is cheaper than on land, and some is more expensive than on land.

But anyway, the fresher the seafood, the more expensive it is.It's not just the Chinese who know how to eat.The local Aboriginal people also prefer fresh seafood rather than frozen seafood.

There are many Japanese on Hawaii Island, as well as people from other Asian countries, and they also like fresh seafood.

Caucasians mostly like to buy diced seafood.Occasionally come to the fresh seafood area to pick seafood...

"Hi, Boss."

Chen Mo was about to buy a big orange-red grouper when Moxi suddenly appeared from behind and shouted.

"Hey, look at this grouper, how about $76 a pound?"

"It's so expensive. California also has this kind of grouper, about $17 a pound. But it's frozen..." Moxi looked at the fish, which weighed about six or seven pounds, and it said wild.

The wild ones are all caught, and they were caught recently.

This big grouper still looks very lively...

Such fish are basically sold to local tyrants who come on vacation.If it seems that the vitality is not enough, it will be slaughtered... the price will be much cheaper.

Because there are also such groupers in the chilled section, which are much smaller and cost $23 a pound.

Chen Mo asked the supermarket staff to weigh it, and the total was 532 US dollars. The supermarket staff asked if he had killed him.

After the slaughter, the staff put the fish into a plastic chilled long bucket with ice cubes in it. There is no extra charge for these... Expensive fish are treated differently.

At $76 a pound, the belly of albacore tuna is not that expensive, and only rare species of large live grouper can be bought at this price, and it is also the most expensive fish in the entire supermarket.

Next is king salmon sashimi, $46 a pound.But that's a foreign fish...

Going out with a fresh box in his arms, a tall and tall white man with reddish skin glanced at Chen Mo, then quickly left, taking out his phone contacts as he walked...

Moxi's expression froze: "Boss, do you know him?"

Chen Mo frowned: "I know."

Moxi thought for a while: "Do you want to call the police?"

Chen Mo smiled and shook his head: "No need, there are so many people in our group, what are we afraid of." Chen Mo has seen that white man, and he has no grievances. He is not a local bully or something, but the secretary of Oshen City, the secretary of the mayor.

The mayor of Osson City, Eisenberg, has approached Chen Mo several times, mainly to discuss the construction of the port...

Chen Mo hasn't answered Eisenberg yet.

Oceania has a coastline, but the coast area is not populated.It is difficult to build a pier here on the big island, let alone build a port...

For example, the Milo area in the northern part of Osson City is right by the sea, and there is no port or wharf there.

Chen Mo has a construction license for a private dock, which is mainly a dock for small yachts, and there are strict regulations on the number of ships berthed, the size of the dock, and so on.The application for building such a small pier cost Chen Mo more than 300 million yuan just for the permit.This is still under the premise of allowing environmental protection scientific research ships to dock after the completion of the project, otherwise, they will not allow it at all...

The construction of docks or ports does not require the permission of the regional government.This is to be approved by the county government, and then reported to the state government, and at the same time to be reviewed by the Island Environmental Management Bureau...

It's not that there are no local tyrants in Oshen City.On the west coast of the big island, there is even a famous Tuhao village, a village full of vacation villas of the rich... Many individuals, or multiple individuals jointly applied for the construction of the pier, but none of them were approved.Only in the Kona area, there are more docks there, and there is also a cargo port...

Along the southwestern coast, there is not even a small port.

The city of Osson wants to build a port to drive the economic development of the area.This, the resistance to face is not small...

Chen Mo put the seafood on the car, and the secretary of the city was in the parking lot. Looking into the distance, he saw Chen Mo coming, and smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Chen Mo, hello."

"Hello……"

"Mr. Eisenberg said he would visit you this morning."

Chen Mo's face twitched slightly: "Well, I also want to find time to visit Mayor Eisenberg."

"Mr. Mayor would like to invite you to visit Palo Bay, which is a nice natural deep-water harbor."

"Let's talk about it again, after Christmas, let's talk about it. Building a port is not a trivial matter, are you... ready?"

Kaio shook his head in embarrassment: "It is troublesome to build a port, but the benefits are also huge."

Chen Mo spread out his hands: "Let's talk about it, we'll talk about it later."

The city of Osson will benefit the most from building a port.With a port, the local volcanic rock land can be sold at a good price, and colleagues can drive local tourism...

But for Chen Mo...

Hawaii has relevant laws and regulations that large cargo ships cannot dock at the pier, only cargo ships of specified size can enter the port.

Even if the port construction license is obtained, the port to be built should not be too large. After the port is completed, only some yachts will be charged for mooring, and small yachts can be launched into the sea for some fees.These don't make much money...

The geographical location and the environment here are destined to cost a lot to build a port.If it is just pure port income, Chen Mo's investment will take hundreds of years to pay back... To recover the income, he can only rely on additional additional income, and this aspect needs to be calculated carefully.

More haste less speed……

Chen Mo still has to ask Cohen, an investment consultant, to see if the investment is worthwhile.
