Chapter 340: Chapter 280: Selling Golden Spearfish_2 Chapter 340: Chapter 280: Selling Golden Spearfish_2 After selling their catch, they didn’t stay long in Wen City but took turns driving with Zhang Wei and Chen Yang through the night, heading straight for Modu.

Traveling along the coastline, sometimes they would see the bustling urban scenery, other times silent, desolate villages.

The gap between rich and poor wasn’t usually noticeable, but at that moment, it was starkly apparent.

Therefore, it wasn’t just about anywhere on the map to land; they had to choose the location carefully, even if it was more crowded, as a good starting point could be stronger than others’ end points.

By three o’clock that afternoon, the Sea God finally reached its destination, the Gold Spearfish Port of Modu.

The sound of a crew member came over the radio to confirm the fishing boat and check if it was following a reported route.

Only after confirming there were no issues were they allowed to temporarily dock at the port.

Chu Mingcheng received the route and went to the temporary docking area at berth seventeen.

Soon, a staff member approached him, requesting him to fill out a form.

The form mainly registered personal and vessel information, along with various additional service fees for the temporary stop at the Tuna Trading Center.

It also included cold chain trucks, which could help transport the Golden Spearfish to the Tuna Trading Market.

Many independent fishermen who caught Golden Spearfish from the East Sea and didn’t want to be squeezed by spearfish brokers or fish dealers headed directly here to sell their catch, especially since it wasn’t far from Modu.

The trading market here has professional appraisers to evaluate the freshness and meat quality of the Golden Spearfish before offering a suitable price, which is often better than selling to fish dealers.

Of course, it was rather unusual for someone like Chu Mingcheng, who had come all the way from Xia City to Modu, as most were local fishermen returning to Modu.

It was a different story for the vessels of fishing companies; they operated differently than these independent fishermen.

Chu Mingcheng had all his documents intact, including the boat’s three licenses, his personal driving license, and his fishing license, all filled out.

After completing the form and handing it to the staff member, he checked and found no issues, then asked, “Brother, do you need a cold chain truck?”

“Of course, I need it. I have three Golden Spearfish around four hundred pounds each, seven around two hundred pounds each, two more than six hundred pounds, and one quite large, nearly twelve hundred pounds!”

“Twelve hundred pounds?” The staff member was surprised, “That big, must be a Bluefin Tuna, right?”

Chu Mingcheng nodded, “Right, I thought it might be auctioned, so I sailed all the way from Xia City. By the way, is there anything special I should know about the auction?”

“Such a large Bluefin is rare, and generally, the meat quality is very good, so the chances of it going to auction are quite high. Normally, you would just directly sell these Golden Spearfish to our trading market, which is more convenient.”

The staff member sighed, then briefly explained the auction fees and the process.

“As for the auction, it requires a meat quality appraisal and if the fat content is satisfactory, it can be auctioned. After the auction, a fee of five percent and a storage fee must be paid.”

“Then please help me arrange the cold chain truck. The other fish I plan to sell directly to the trading market.”

Since there were many fish, one truck wasn’t enough, and Chu Mingcheng had to pay a thousand in transport fees to rent two trucks.

An hour later, the two cold chain trucks arrived at his location.

The dock had a crane, and two staff members wearing thick clothes entered the cold storage, tied the ropes around the fish tails, and lifted the thirteen Golden Spearfish out of the storage and into the trucks.

There were people inside the truck as well, who would first release the ropes and then push the fish inside, eliminating the need for Chu Mingcheng to lift a finger.

The trading market’s dock services were actually quite profitable, but in the case of plentiful fish, the fishermen were willing to pay.

After all, arranging for a cold chain truck themselves could be troublesome and might not even be cheaper.

The twelve Golden Spearfish seemed ordinary to the staff who were used to seeing large fish every day; they showed no reaction.

However, the five hundred eighty pound fatty Bluefin did cause a little surprise among them.

According to the staff member, even though they saw a fair number of Bluefin Tunas every day, such a large one was still very rare and quite extraordinary.

If there were any, they were mostly imported from abroad.

Once the fish were moved, the cold chain trucks led the way, and Chu Mingcheng followed in a car.

The Tuna Trading Center was not far, and they soon arrived there.

The place looked just like a shopping mall, with “Huaxia International Tuna Trading Center” in large letters above.

While they went through the main entrance, the cold chain trucks went straight in through another entrance.

A few of them walked into the mall, asked a security guard for directions, and made their way to the tuna reception point.

The Golden Spearfish required ultra-low temperatures for storage, making the overall environment inside quite special.

There were many cold chain transport trucks parked at the reception point, and many workers in blue uniforms, thoroughly wrapped up, were busy at work.

Large fish were moved one by one from the trucks, inspected, documented, and stored.

Chu Mingcheng found his truck and after a short wait in the line, it was their turn.

Workers lifted the fish one by one, some used a crane for weighing, others measured the lengths with rulers, and there were specialists who cut open the fish tails to check the fat content.

Chu Mingcheng noticed that besides Golden Spearfish, there were other large fish, such as Flagfish.

Also, smaller fishes like Sailfish were accepted, broadening the business scope.

“Congratulations, this Bluefin tuna’s quality has reached an excellent level and can be auctioned. Out of the other twelve Golden Spearfish, nine have achieved good quality.”
