Everyone also found it interesting and stood up to take a look.

Mrs. Chen laughed: "This time the big turtle didn't cause us any trouble. It was clean and didn't hoard any goods."

Just as he finished speaking, a huge whale emerged from the water.

This whale made a very painful cry because its body was densely covered with barnacles. People with trypophobia can't bear to look at it at all, and it will make them dizzy and nauseous.

Mrs. Chen stepped back quickly: "Oh my god, such a big whale! It feels like it is almost as big as our boat! We have to be careful!"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Don't worry. The big turtle brought it here to ask for our help. It won't cause trouble or harm us. Stop the fishing boat now and lower the two small boats. We will clean the barnacles off the whale."

These are the elves of the sea. Since they have come to her, even if Liu Meilan doesn't catch fish, she will clean the parasites off the elves' bodies.

Tang Changping was also happy to do such a thing, so he ran to the cabin and told Xu Kaifa about it.

After the two small boats were lowered, two people on one of the boats, armed with tools, began to clean the parasites off the whale's body.

Liu Meilan put her hand on the whale and said, "Big guy, it may hurt a little, but you have to bear it, otherwise you may be parasitized by barnacles and die."

The big whale seemed to understand Liu Meilan's words. It rubbed her hand and floated on the water.

Tang Changping and Zhou Ze took tools in their hands and began to shovel at the whale. Although barnacles were not easy to remove, Tang Changping had experience and could shovel them cleanly.

Liu Meilan has strong hands and is very fast, and her hands will gently stroke the areas that have been scraped to make the whale's skin more comfortable.

The whale squinted in enjoyment.

Zhou Ze chuckled: "Whales are big, and sharks are big too, so why don't sharks have barnacles on their bodies?"

Tang Changping replied: "Sharks swim fast, so it is not easy for parasites like barnacles to attach to sharks. Whales swim slowly, and their range of motion in the water is not as large as that of sharks, so it is easy for them to attach to them, so this is the case."

Zhou Ze was curious: "The big turtle has lived a long time, understands human nature, and knows to ask us for help. But how can this whale listen to the big turtle and come with it?"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Whales have high IQs. They are also mammals. This killer whale is the smartest among whales. I heard that it has the IQ of a 10- to 15-year-old child. When it saw us helping it, it knew we were doing it for its own good."

"Oh, a ten-year-old kid, that's quite smart." Zhou Ze said, he is big in stature and has a big brain, so he is smart.

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Once we clean it up, it will bring many more companions and ask for our help."

Mrs. Chen said with a bitter face: "It's not that we don't want to help, but there are too many of them, which delays our fishing."

"Maybe if we help them, they will help us catch fish!" Liu Meilan said with a smile, "As I said before, if they come to us, we will help them."

Mrs. Chen nodded: "That's right, we can't be so cold-blooded, we should help if we can."

After a while, the barnacles on the whale's side were cleared.

Liu Meilan patted the whale's body and said, "Turn over so I can get rid of the barnacles on your belly."

The killer whale seemed to understand what Liu Meilan said. It gently turned its body, revealing its belly covered with barnacles.

So many!

Liu Meilan shoveled quickly and said, "You are a killer whale. From now on, I will call you Tiger. We will clean the barnacles off your body later. You have to help us find fish and drive the good fish to our side."

The killer whale hummed, and it was unclear whether it was agreeing with her or humming comfortably.

In this way, it took the four people a full hour and a half to finally clean all the barnacles off the killer whale.

Liu Meilan touched the killer whale's body again, trying to help the skin wounds on the killer whale heal as quickly as possible.

Liu Meilan returned to the fishing boat, put the boat away, and waved to the killer whale that was reluctant to leave: "I have cleaned it up for you. Let's go and find your tribe. It's dangerous to walk alone."

The killer whale called a few times, circled the fishing boat a few times, and then left.

The big turtle was very well behaved and spit out something in the shape of a wine glass into Liu Meilan's palm.

There were microorganisms on it. Liu Meilan wiped it with paper and saw that it was yellow, gold.

Liu Meilan whispered to the big turtle: "Take me to see it!"

Liu Meilan likes the big turtle more and more. It is very sensible. Whenever it comes to ask for help, it always brings something.

The big turtle led the way, Liu Meilan drove the boat, Tang Changping put down the fishing net, and everyone started talking about killer whales.

Liu Meilan discovered that there were more than a dozen sunken ships more than 100 meters underwater.

It would have been fine if nothing was found, but now that it was discovered, there are gold and silver utensils, as well as some Western artifacts with distinctive features.

How can we let go of such a good thing?

When I got back, I told my second brother that his underwater salvage company could start operations this year.

Just as Liu Meilan was surprised by the sunken ship on the seabed, Chen Saozi shouted, "Meilan, come and see."

"What's wrong?" Liu Meilan was curious and hurried out of the cabin. She was stunned by what she saw.

There were actually a lot of fish on the sea. Driven by a group of killer whales, they came nearby and jumped on the water.

"What are you waiting for? Cast the net quickly!" Liu Meilan urged. They could no longer use the trawl net on the water.

These killer whales are really smart, they actually chased the tuna school over. It is too difficult to fish, so you can only use a net to troll.

Fortunately, we have learned from the last lesson and there are net-lifting machines on the fishing boats. When casting the nets, we don’t have to drag them up ourselves because the machines can help.

Liu Meilan led the team to cast the net continuously: "Raise the net!"

Tang Changping is an experienced operator of the net machine, and he and Liu Meilan work well together. After the fishing net is pulled up, they immediately untie it.

The net cast by Zhou Ze was immediately fixed on the net-lifting machine.

The two fishing nets took turns operating, and every time they went down, they could catch a tuna.

As soon as the bluefin tuna came up, it was carried away by Xu Kaifa and Wu Yong, and then taken to the fish hold for quick freezing.

Despite the orcas' siege, the tuna swam very fast.

After a dozen large bluefin tunas were caught, the schools of tuna dispersed.

Liu Meilan and her group were also very tired.

The killer whale floated to the surface of the sea again and exposed the area where the barnacles were parasitized.

What are you waiting for?

Continue to give the killer whale a "bath".

These are twelve giant bluefin tunas. Fish of this size are not sold by weight but by the piece.

Since they were given "bath scrubbing fees", Liu Meilan and the boatmen did not hesitate and not only scrubbed the boats but also gave massages.

The three killer whales had barnacles on their bodies, but not many. By dark, all the barnacles were cleaned off.

Everyone collapsed to the ground exhausted, panting: "These killer whales are so smart! Before, they said they have the IQ of a ten-year-old child, but I didn't believe it. Now I believe it."

Mrs. Chen sighed: "Yes, he even knew to drive the expensive fish for us. He is more humane than a big turtle."

Everyone was discussing it at once.

At this time, Zhou Ze asked curiously: "Captain Meilan, these twelve bluefin tuna are all very large and of excellent quality. How much can they be sold for this time?"

Tang Changping thought for a moment and said, "The bluefin tuna we caught before were very big and we sold them for 4 each. I heard that the price of bluefin tuna has gone up again this year. We have to sell them at a high price. I think one should be at least 6!"

Everyone calculated in their minds, if one piece is 6, then these 12 pieces should be worth 72, right?

Their fish warehouses are still empty. Can they make more than 150 million this time?

Mrs. Chen took a break and prepared to make something to eat: "Meilan, we caught so many tuna, so we can't go back until tomorrow night at the earliest, or even stay at sea longer."

"Tuna is very expensive, and we only want it fresh! Contact Xiaoyu now, and we'll go back overnight! This way the tuna can stay in the best condition, and Xiaoyu can also prepare early."

When Liu Meilan heard this, she thought to herself, "I just looked at those tuna, the lightest one weighs over 200 kilograms! The quality is very good, and the largest one weighs over 400 kilograms!"

"Today we were cleaning the barnacles off the killer whales and were stuck at sea for a long time! We are not far from the shore, so it is a good idea to go back now."

Because their boat was helping the killer whales clean barnacles, the other boat went fishing elsewhere on its own.

Everyone agreed that Liu Meilan would decide to return.

We will take a detour and trawle the net back, and arrive at the dock tomorrow morning. We will be able to catch three nets at night, so we should have a good harvest.

Liu Meilan contacted the shore and learned that there was someone Tang Xiaoyu knew at the post office, so after receiving the telegram, she immediately came out to inform Tang Xiaoyu.

Tang Xiaoyu was having dinner with Ye Qiang when he received a call from Liu Meilan and was shocked.

That’s twelve bluefin tuna!

Such precious fish cannot be sold just like that.

Besides, not all buyers are willing to buy.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xiaoyu smiled widely.

Ye Qiang asked: "12 tuna, they are so big, they must be of good quality. It would be a waste of money to sell them at a low price!"

Tang Xiaoyu nodded: "I think so too, how do we sell it?"

Ye Qiang thought for a moment and said, "I think you should call your buyers now and tell them that tuna will be landed tomorrow. You can hold a small auction in the reception room, and the highest bidder will win."

Tang Xiaoyu was slightly stunned: "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, we are cooperating for a long time, and it would be too hasty to do this!"

Ye Qiang smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "Xiao Yu, there is a precedent. The last time you sold tuna, the Japanese offered a high price, so you sold it to them!"

"The prices they offer are indeed high, and some of the tuna is of very good quality, so they airfreight it to Japan for sale."

"This is not a normal sale. After all, tuna is not often available. Since it is an exception, there must be a separate sales method."

Tang Xiaoyu nodded: "I'll call them after I finish my meal!"

Japanese people like to make bluefin tuna into sashimi, and each portion is very small and sold at a high price, so the profit margin is very high.

Even if it is shipped back by air, there is still a lot of profit margin.

After dinner, Tang Xiaoyu wiped his mouth and took out a notebook from his bag.

Tang Xiaoyu wrote down the content of the call he was going to make in his notebook and sorted it out.

Kogoro Inoshita has now returned to Japan and has handed over the business of several Japanese restaurants to his eldest son, Ioshita.

When Tang Xiaoyu heard this name for the first time, he was laughing secretly in his heart.

Stone under the well, stone under the well.

Japanese surnames are also very interesting, such as Inoue, Jingxia, Yamashita, Watanabe... Many of them are place names. It is possible that their ancestors with this surname lived in these places, and then the surnames were derived.

No matter how much he disliked it, business was business. If it could bring huge profits to their Sifang Island Seafood Fishing Company, Tang Xiaoyu would naturally welcome them with a smile and cooperate with them.

Jingxia Shi was very interested when he received a call from Tang Xiaoyu. The high-quality bluefin tuna could not only generate high profits in Shanghai, but also make more money when shipped back to the mainland.

"Manager Tang, I will be there on time at 8 a.m. tomorrow! Please take good care of me!"

Tang Xiaoyu smiled and replied: "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation this time! After all, the price of bluefin tuna has increased a lot this year, especially the high-quality ones."

Jingxiashi certainly understood what Tang Xiaoyu meant. This time he wanted to sell it at a higher price than last time, and he would not be affected by the situation of the auction.

"Our price will definitely satisfy Manager Tang!" Jingxia Shi was very proud. Apart from them, who else would be willing to buy bluefin tuna at a high price?

"I'm looking forward to it!" After Tang Xiaoyu finished the call, he started calling Mr. Yang again.

Mr. Yang was having dinner with a friend. After receiving Tang Xiaoyu's call, he went to a quiet place to start the conversation: "Bluefin tuna? Leave it for me. I must take two away tomorrow!"

Tang Xiaoyu was slightly surprised: "You run a traditional restaurant, so you shouldn't be so keen on tuna, right?"

Mr. Yang smiled and said, "I will only take one for myself! But a friend of mine works at a five-star hotel. He is going to receive investors from Japan and wants high-quality bluefin tuna. He called me to arrange for the goods."

"What a coincidence! You already have the stock! He's in a hurry, so he has to give us one no matter what. It's too expensive to get it from the Japanese food store!"

Tang Xiaoyu suddenly realized: "I see! Then you can bring him here tomorrow, and then we can hold an auction..."

Mr. Yang was stunned, but he also knew that personal relationships are personal relationships and business is business.

Tang Xiaoyu can sell it to others at a higher price, so why should he sell it to them at a low price?

If it were him, he wouldn't be happy either!

"Okay, I'll call him right away! I'll be there on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow!"

Tang Xiaoyu hung up the phone and decided to call other buyers to communicate.

Not only bluefin tuna is mentioned, but also grouper, sea bass, and the best hairtail.

Even if they don't buy tuna, they will buy seafood such as grouper.

Tang Xiaoyu called specifically with the intention of asking them to raise the price.

The fancy sedan was carried by everyone, and everyone was a very shrewd business man, and they understood what it meant instantly.
