Chapter 846: Price Raising and Not Selling

"Dahai!"

"Hurry up and go back to rest with Uncle Shizhu and the others!"

Ding Xiaoxiang felt a little distressed. Zhao Dahai went out to sea in the early morning yesterday, and fished all night long, and then rushed back. Now all the fish have been loaded onto the seafood truck before they stopped.

Zhao Dahai nodded, he was indeed a little tired.

"Xiaoxiang!"

"I'll leave the rest to you. I'll go back to eat and sleep with Uncle Shizhu and the others, and continue to go out to sea fishing tomorrow morning."

Zhao Dahai took a bottle of mineral water while he was talking and drank it in big gulps.

When Ding Xiaoxiang heard that Zhao Dahai was going out to sea to fish again tomorrow morning, she wanted to say that she would take another day off before going out to sea, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips. No matter if you are fishing or fishing, as long as you have caught a lot of fish the day before, you will definitely go out to sea to fish the next day unless the weather is not suitable.

"Okay!"

"Then you should go back early, take a shower after dinner and go to bed."

"If there is anything, we can talk later!"

Ding Xiaoxiang didn't say anything else, got in the car and closed the door. The longer she stayed here, the longer Zhao Dahai would have to spend with her. It would be better to leave early so that Zhao Dahai could go back quickly.

Zhao Dahai saw Ding Xiaoxiang off, Liu Lei and Yang Qin watched the seafood truck leave the dock, turned back to the speedboat, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da had already started to pack up the speedboat, and immediately started together.

Shi Guangming and Zhao Shi saw that Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da were busy and couldn't help, and there was not much work to do, so they simply left first.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da worked together for half an hour, all the things were packed up and arranged, and they also used sea water to clean the speedboat, especially the deck.

Zhao Dahai told Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to go fishing early tomorrow morning, meet at the pier at around 4 am, and then go home.

Zhao Dahai returned home, very tired after working for so long, took a bath, ate something to fill his stomach, and went back to his room to sleep.

Town.

Hongyun Restaurant.

Liu Lei and Yang Qin saw Ding Xiaogan off, went upstairs together, opened the door of the office and walked in.

Liu Gang put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Liu Lei and Yang Qin, and immediately asked Zhao Dahai how many fish he caught this time.

"The total weight of large and small sea bass is 4,735 jin and 2 liang."

"The total weight of various groupers is more than 1,800 jin."

Liu Lei held a notebook in his hand, which recorded the total number of fish Zhao Dahai caught this time, and he had just weighed it with Ding Xiaoxiang.

"Ah!"

"The amount of fish Zhao Dahai catches every time he goes out to sea is really amazing!"

"Now he is not fishing alone, but he is fishing with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou, a total of four people!"

"We caught more fish!"

Liu Gang was really convinced.

He is not a fisherman, but he has been running a seafood restaurant for many years. He has been dealing with all kinds of people who go out to sea to fish and buying seafood from them. He knows very well how many fish other fishermen can catch in one trip to sea, and how many fish other fishermen can catch compared to him.

Zhao Dahai went out to sea with three people on a speedboat. The fish he caught were not comparable to those of other speedboats that went out to sea to fish. Even if there were few fishing boats that went out to sea for a month, they could not catch so many fish.

Zhao Dahai only spent two days and one night at most, including the time to go back and forth, and the money he made was like flowing water.

"Dad!"

"This is a great thing for us. Just like you said, I wish Brother Dahai didn't go fishing in the deep sea every day. In this way, our seafood restaurant will have endless good things to sell."

Liu Lei has been managing the family restaurant for a while. He knows very well how many fish, shrimps and crabs can be sold every day. He knows very well how popular these top-quality fish, shrimps and crabs are. The supply of goods is a huge pressure for good business. If Zhao Dahai's speedboat does not go fishing in the open sea, he has to worry about whether he can buy enough fish every day, especially the top-quality goods such as grouper. Once Zhao Dahai goes to the open sea, he doesn't have to worry about this.

"By the way!"

"How are the fish caught by Zhao Dahai and Shi Jiehua's sea fishing boat in the deep sea, especially those living fish such as grouper?"

Liu Gang remembered this matter.

A few days ago, when Zhao Dahai and Shi Jiehua's sea fishing boat returned to the dock, he and Wu Weimin bought a lot of valuable fish, mainly grouper and yellow croaker.

There is no need to ask about croaker, especially yellow croaker. They will definitely be sold and at a good price. The only thing to worry about is grouper.

The grouper is selling very well in his restaurant. It is very popular. Usually, the grouper he sells is caught locally, but this time he sells deep-sea grouper. He is a little worried that people who come to the restaurant to eat are not willing to accept it.

"Dad!"

"Why should we worry about this?"

"Local grouper is indeed more popular, but we don't sell it secretly. We have to say that deep-sea grouper is local. Instead, we clearly mark the price, which is 20% lower than the local grouper."

"Honestly, how can ordinary people tell the difference between deep-sea grouper and local grouper?"

"It sells very well! Very popular!"

Liu Lei knows that Liu Gang has been worried about this matter, but judging from the sales in the restaurant in the past few days, there is no problem at all.

"That's right!"

"Dad!"

"Haha, isn't he going offshore now? He must be able to catch a lot of big groupers or other valuable fish."

"I'm thinking about the big groupers that Daha caught in the local sea. Shouldn't we raise the price?"

"No need to raise it too much. A slight increase of about 5% over the normal price will be enough!"

Liu Lei has been thinking about this matter since he saw the big grouper that Zhao Dahai caught at the Langtou Village Pier. Don't think it's just a 5% price increase, but it's very important. He has to discuss it with his father Liu Gang before he can make a decision.

"Oh!"

"Why do you have such an idea?"

Liu Gang wanted to know why Liu Lei had such an idea. His restaurant does a lot of business with repeat customers. There is no special reason. Even if the price of incoming goods increases, the price will not be raised when it is sold.

"Don't we have two fishes in our restaurant now? One is the deep-sea fish, and the other is the fish that Brother Dahai catches in the open sea."

"The fish caught by Brother Dahai are definitely more popular. If the price is still the same as before, I am worried that the fish caught by deep-sea fishing boats will not be easy to sell."

"If the price is slightly raised, the fish caught by deep-sea fishing boats will be easy to sell, or easier to sell."

Liu Lei is not thinking about raising the price to make more money, but just wants to sell the groupers or other valuable fish caught by deep-sea fishing boats better.

Liu Gang pondered for ten minutes and nodded. There was nothing wrong with Liu Lei's idea.

"Should we just sell the fish caught by Brother Dahai two days later?"

Liu Lei thought of another idea.

"Aren't you just kidding? If the price increase is not too big, there is nothing wrong with it. In addition, seafood is always market-driven and prices often fluctuate. People who eat valuable fish like grouper don't care about the price increase at all and can accept it."

"But if they know that we received the fish caught by Zhao Dahai but kept it in our hands and didn't sell it."

"That's another matter!"

Liu Gang's face changed, it was very ugly, and he glared at Liu Lei fiercely.

There are definitely various ways or even means to do business, but some can be used, and some can never be used.

If the price increase is not big, there is nothing wrong with it and it can definitely be done, but what Liu Lei just said about keeping it in your hands and not selling it is absolutely not allowed.

Many people will do such things, but your own restaurant will never do it.

Before the Chinese New Year, the restaurant does store some fish, shrimps and crabs to be sold during the Chinese New Year, but when storing fish, the number of fish, shrimps and crabs sold in the store is not reduced, and the stored ones are overstocked. Another thing is that most of the fish, shrimps and crabs are bought from other people who have stored fish, shrimps and crabs. For example, the fish caught by Zhao Dahai before the Chinese New Year were kept on the sea fishing boat and sold to himself around the Chinese New Year.

It is normal for people like Zhao Dahai to go out to sea to fish or catch fish, and anyone can accept it, but his own restaurant cannot do this, especially now it is not the Chinese New Year. Once the fish are stored and not put on the shelves, the news will spread, which will have a great impact on the business of this restaurant.

"Zhao Dahai's speedboat caught so many fish. I don't know how many people saw him when he returned to the dock."

"The news will definitely spread. Those who come to our restaurant to eat can't be unaware of it."

"Now Zhao Dahai has returned from the sea and caught a lot of fish, but our restaurant doesn't sell these fish."

"Where are there fools in this world? They must have guessed what we want to do very clearly."

"These people who spend a lot of money to eat are just looking for happiness and freedom. If they think we are cheating them, they may not come."

"These deep-sea groupers or other valuable fish caught in the restaurant are even harder to sell."

Liu Gang was very angry, but he knew that Liu Lei's experience in this area was not particularly rich, so it was normal for him to have such thoughts. He had to talk to him and analyze the interests involved.

"These are not the most terrible things. The most terrible thing is that people who come to our restaurant to eat will think that we can no longer get the groupers or valuable fish caught by Zhao Dahai? Otherwise, why don't we sell them?"

"Zhao Dahai now has a great influence not only among fishermen, but also among those who come to our restaurant to eat, especially those who spend money to eat delicious and valuable fish."

"Everyone knows that the quality of the fish caught by Zhao Dahai is guaranteed."

"Everyone wants to eat the fish caught by Zhao Dahai!"

"Once they think that other restaurants or other people have taken away the fish caught by Zhao Dahai, won't they stop coming to our restaurant to eat?"

Liu Gang said bluntly.

Wu Lei was stunned, and then he was sweating coldly. He really thought too simply. Fortunately, he had discussed it with his father Liu Gang before doing this. Otherwise, if he really did it and made his own decision, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Dad!"

"I didn't think enough about this matter!"

Liu Lei simply admitted his mistake.

Liu Gang told Liu Lei that such things must be carefully considered and must not be changed easily. His restaurant does business with acquaintances and repeat customers.

Liu Lei nodded and must pay more attention to this matter in the future.

Liu Gang asked about other things in the restaurant and there was no problem. He didn't stay for long and stood up and left the office to go home.

"Liu Lei."

"Are there really many people in the restaurant who specifically asked if these fish were caught by Zhao Dahai?"

Yang Qin didn't care that Liu Lei had just been scolded.

My thoughts on this matter are exactly the same as Liu Lei's. We both want to raise the price. Another thing is to hold on to the fish caught by Zhao Dahai for a few days and try to sell more. We can think about the fish caught in the deep sea later. However, what Liu Gang said makes sense. You can raise the price, but you must not sell the fish. If you do something wrong, you will be scolded. You must be very alert and never make the same mistake again next time. Both Liu Lei and I are relatively young, and it is normal that we don't think things through.

Yang Qin is curious whether there are many people in the restaurant who specifically ask for the fish caught by Zhao Dahai.

Liu Lei nodded, not only there are, but there are a lot of them.

"There are many repeat customers in our restaurant, who come to eat every few days or even every other day."

"I don't know when it started, but many people ask if there is any fish caught by Zhao Dahai today."

"When selling fish caught in the open sea these days, one thing is that I always add that although these are not fish caught by Brother Dahai, they are fish caught by Brother Dahai and others."

"Another thing is that these people are asking when Brother Dahai will come back to go fishing. Yesterday, I said that Brother Dahai has come back and has gone out to fish."

The more Liu Lei thought about it, the more he felt that he was really thinking too simply about this matter. The old man was still the best, and his father couldn't explain the matter clearly at once.

"Oh!"

"Why are the fish caught by Zhao Dahai so popular?"

Yang Qin was very surprised.
