My Manor

In theory, raising giant groupers is the most profitable. The price of a young grouper is 1.15 US dollars. After two years of raising, the cost of one fish is about 50 US dollars. If it grows to 15 kilograms, it will cost 30 US dollars per kilogram, which means 450 US dollars per fish. It seems that it has only increased nine times, but one fish makes 400 US dollars. 100 fish make 40,000, and one million fish make 400 million. But to raise one million fish, according to the survival rate, you have to buy 3 million fish fry. The cost of one fish fry is 50 US dollars. Add it up, and it is 150 million US dollars. Some people say that it is still profitable. You can make 250 million US dollars?

But you have to understand that there may be natural disasters, such as a tsunami. Typhoons are so easy to hit Boston.

It's so easy to have a storm. What if there is a tsunami, an earthquake, or an oil pipeline in the Pacific Ocean bursts and it happens to hit Jiang Hai's fishing ground? Yes, the U.S. government will compensate part of the money, but that is only a part. In the end, Jiang Hai will still lose all his money. This is why, although they know that raising these precious fish can make money, most fishermen in North America are still willing to raise cod and herring. At least those are guaranteed. Even if they fail this year, there are subsidies from the U.S. government, so they won't lose too much. Therefore, people who are willing to take the risk to raise this kind of fish are rare in the United States. Basically, if they raise them, they are also raised on a small scale. No one is willing to raise these things on a large scale.

"I won't recommend the remaining sea bream to you, because these fish are solitary and difficult to catch even if you raise them. The last one is this, the American redfish. This fish has only become popular in recent years. I heard that it is quite popular in China. The price per kilogram of adult fish is about twelve US dollars, but the juvenile fish is cheaper, at twenty cents, which is similar to cod, but much more expensive than cod. It is also easier to raise and grows fast. The largest can grow to three kilograms in a year, and the smallest is more than one kilogram. The only trouble is that it eats a lot and is prone to illness. It has high requirements for seawater." After introducing grouper and giant grouper, Tie Niu focused on introducing this fish to Jiang Hai, the American redfish, which is also farmed in China.

So Jiang Hai also has some understanding of it. The appearance of this fish is similar to that of yellow croaker, and the taste is similar. After all, they are of the same genus, Sciaenidae, and are considered distant relatives. Originally from the United States and Mexico, this fish was the favorite fish of sea anglers.

It tastes good, not too fishy, but rich in nutrition. It is a very good fish. Recently, eating this kind of fish has become popular in China.

So in the United States, this kind of fish is not worried about sales. And the most important thing is that this kind of fish is easy to raise, and the seedlings are cheap. If the water quality of the fish farm is not a problem and it does not get sick, the cost of one fish is about two US dollars.

Twelve US dollars per kilogram, with a year of raising, an average of two kilograms, that is twenty-four US dollars. One fish can make twenty-two US dollars, and one million fish can make twenty-two million. The survival rate is much higher than that of grouper. That kind of fish likes to eat its own kind, but this kind of fish does not have such a habit. As long as there is enough food, there is no problem. So when Jiang Hai heard it, he also had some preference for this kind of fish.

"Can we raise them together?" But the preference was just talk. After hesitating for a while, Jiang Hai still asked him.

Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Tie Niu couldn't help but be stunned. Mixed breeding?

"Boss, have you really decided?" Sitting in the car, Edward looked at Jiang Hai and said hesitantly.

"Yeah, let's make a happy decision!" Hearing Edward's words, Jiang Hai smiled and said to him.

"Well, who told you to be the boss? I have never raised fish like this before." Edward sighed helplessly and said with a puzzled look on his face because Jiang Hai had finally decided to raise mixed fish.

He wanted to raise 3 million American redfish, 200,000 groupers, 200,000 giant groupers, and finally added 50,000 salmon.

These are just fish. In addition to these, he also raised other things, such as king crabs. This kind of seedlings is priced by ton, 500,000 US dollars per ton. Okay, Jiang Hai bought one ton, and then tiger prawns, Jiang Hai also bought one ton, 300,000 US dollars per ton. Maine lobsters are the cheapest, 20,000 US dollars per ton. Jiang Hai bought ten tons at a time and prepared to put them into his ocean together with seaweed. Fortunately, his fishery is large enough; otherwise, these things alone would be enough to make the fishery a mess.

The money from these seedlings alone is a considerable income. American redfish costs 20 cents per head, and three million of them is 600,000 US dollars. Grouper costs one dollar per head, and a total of 200,000 is 200,000 US dollars. Giant grouper costs one dollar and fifteen cents per head, which is 230,000 US dollars. Fifty thousand four-year-old salmon, that is, salmon that can be released into the sea, costs five dollars per head, and 50,000 salmon costs 250,000 US dollars. In addition, there are 500,000 US dollars for king crabs, 300,000 US dollars for tiger prawns, and 200,000 US dollars for Maine lobsters. Just now, Jiang Hai waved his hand and spent 2.28 million US dollars on these seedlings alone.

Someone said, wasn't it said that we should build the ecological environment first and then buy fish? Such a large-scale purchase of seedlings.

Of course, it was impossible that there was no time for preparation. Originally, according to Tie Niu, Jiang Hai would pay a deposit first, and then he would prepare the seedlings. However, Jiang Hai was too lazy to talk nonsense. Since Edward said that this person was trustworthy, he signed the contract directly, and then Jiang Hai transferred all the money. Facing Jiang Hai's rich style, Tie Niu was almost crazy with joy.

He had never met such a happy big customer before. In addition to the freight, labor, and the original money for the fry, he could make at least 300,000 yuan from this business. This 300,000 yuan income was enough for him to sell the fry for several years. Thinking of this, he immediately patted his chest and promised Jiang Hai that he would bring Jiang Hai the best fry. At the same time, he gave Jiang Hai a ton of lobsters, a ton of bamboo shrimps, a ton of top-grade Australian abalone, and two tons of Gidora oysters for free. These things, according to Jiang Hai's calculation, were almost worth 100,000 dollars. Finally, he gave him five tons of Arctic sweet shrimp.

Jiang Hai had to admit that he was good at doing business. Just these things made Jiang Hai very happy. If he worked harder, Jiang Hai would definitely come to buy from him again in the future because Jiang Hai could not buy fish fry for only one year. He did not plan to cultivate fish fry. If he wanted to catch this big customer, working hard was the only way out.

However, after spending the money, Jiang Hai realized that the real big money had not been spent yet.

Because he bought too many fish, shrimps, and crabs, the food needed for Jiang Hai's fish farm was also increasing rapidly. With the increase in food, the food and aquatic plants also increased rapidly.

According to Edward's calculation, the number of waterweed seeds is also increasing. Originally, only about 100,000 US dollars of seeds were enough, but now it seems that it has to be increased to 300,000. Tie Niu is also responsible for contacting the seaweed company, but the phone call will be handed over to Edward and Jiang Hai. When the other party heard that it was a big deal of 300,000, he drove over immediately without saying a word. With the signing of the contract, the balance of 300,000 seaweed seeds was also paid in full. The other party was really about to laugh madly, saying that he would go back and arrange a plane to plant it immediately, and he would definitely help Jiang Hai plant it within three days.

In addition to these seaweeds and seaweeds, Jiang Hai also needs to buy these precious fish, shrimps, crabs, and other things to eat.

That is, cuttlefish, mullet, various shellfish—this kind of creatures living at the bottom of the marine food chain.

To buy them, according to Edward's calculation, it would cost about 3.2 million. This is just the first batch because these guys are just food. When these little guys in the fish farm grow up, they will naturally have to buy these guys to release. Originally, according to Edward, some baits can be released, which can save a lot of money.

But Jiang Hai thought about it and still felt that it would be better to let these fish hunt by themselves.

After all, they want to raise fish that are close to a wild state, so Jiang Hai is unwilling to feed them.

But if, according to what Jiang Hai said, Edward studied it and found that about every three months, that is, one quarter, they need to release some. 3.2 million for the first time, and about the same every time afterward. Although the fish are growing, they are also dying, so the existence of fish and the amount of fish food released does not need to have too much fluctuation. But even so, after one year, Jiang Hai needs to invest 13 million in fish food, plus the 3 million spent today, which is 16 million.

This does not include the cost of the boats, the fuel, and the tax on the sea area. If all are added together, it is estimated to be 24 or 25 million. Thinking about this number, Edward Anderson was forced to be serious.

According to the standard of 60% adult redfish in the United States, 3 million fish means 1.8 million adult fish. If the weather is good and there is no disaster or disease, if one fish can only make 10 US dollars, then it is 18 million, and there is still a loss of 6 million.

In other words, it is possible to make more than 15 US dollars per fish to make a profit, but the tax money must also be taken into account. Although subsidies will be given later to make up for most of it, it still needs to be paid in the early stage. If you calculate it this way, if it is not like Tie Niu said, that each fish can make 20 US dollars if it is raised to the best condition, then it is possible to raise it for a year with good weather and still lose all the money. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.

"No, we have to find a way to get the boss to return some money first, otherwise if something goes wrong... it will be really troublesome." Edward muttered in his heart, looking at Jiang Hai who was still heartless beside him.

"Boss, let's go fishing tomorrow." Finally, as if he had made up his mind, Edward Anderson turned his head and looked at Jiang Hai beside him. He said to Jiang Hai with a serious face. Hearing his words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but be stunned.

"Fishing? Okay!" Looking at Edward's serious face, Jiang Hai's eyes began to light up. Fishing seems good.
