Chapter 530

500000 yuan!

Hearing the price, Qin Shiou immediately shook his head. Don't get me wrong. It's not dissatisfaction, but surprise!

The price quoted at the auction is the unit price per kilogram, otherwise it can't be auctioned. You know, the eating method of bluefin tuna is not whole. They are all separated. The taste of different parts is different, the price is also different, and there is a big gap.

On the whole, the body of bluefin tuna can be basically divided into big belly, middle belly and naked. The fish in the big belly is rich in fat and pink, and the price is the most expensive; The middle belly meat tastes second, the color is slightly darker, and the price is cheaper than the meat in the big belly; The meat on the back is bright red. The meat is also delicious and delicate. It is called naked. There is less oil and the price is the cheapest.

Under normal circumstances, the meat of the big belly of bluefin tuna is about 60000 yen a kilogram in the Tokyo market. But there is less meat in the belly after all, so a fish, even a big fish with good meat quality, can be sold for up to 40000 yen.

Like the auction in Zhuji market, it is said to be an auction. In fact, it is only wholesale. Middlemen take these fish and finally deal with them to restaurants and consumers to make money. Therefore, sometimes the auction price is slightly lower than the market price.

However, no matter how the price is given, it is impossible to give 500000 yen, because it is completely higher than the market price, and no matter who buys it, he can't make money.

But this is the highlight of the tuna auction in Tsukiji market. In the circle of seafood traders, the fish king is auctioned at a virtual high price for three purposes:

First, according to tradition, seafood traders believe that this price is related to the fish market economy. The higher the auction price, the better the fish market this year; Second, encourage fishing boats to go out to sea to catch more tuna, that is, the price of the fish king is used for publicity; The third is glory. Whoever can shoot the fish King shows that the seafood merchant is strong.

Compared with the past, this year's price is not high. The highest is 2013. The starting price of that year was 840000 yen, and the final transaction price was 1.04 million yen. 220 kg of fish sold a sky high price of $2.4 million.

At that time, this price shocked the world fish market, and fishermen of all countries were crazy. They were not stimulated by this price. They went fishing for tuna in a swarm at the beginning of the tuna season.

Finally, this attracted the attention of Japan's fisheries agency. The Fisheries Agency specially issued a document requiring that no excessive false high prices are allowed in future fisheries auctions, and the starting unit price of bluefin tuna should not be higher than 500000 yuan.

In advance, Butler and Qin Shiou said that the unit price of the tuna king is about 350000 to 400000. Qin Shiou is very satisfied with the price. After all, the tuna king is here, 600 kilograms.

As a result, reality gave him a surprise. The market directly gave him the highest starting price, 500000!

According to the exchange rate of about 1:100 between Canadian dollar and Japanese yen, the starting price of this fish is 5000 yuan!

Qin Shiou sighed that the bidding over there had begun fiercely.

"Hi Dai Village Co., Ltd. offered 510000..."

"Luliang port offered 514000..."

"Baoxing aquatic products offered 520000..."

"Dali rilu offered 522000

A group of people began to offer with crazy dancing gestures. The atmosphere was extremely warm. Qin Shiou couldn't stand it and hurried back.

It's not that he can't stand the stimulation of this price. At least he just sold a famous painting worth 50 million. The main reason is that this group of people are dancing and dancing. He's afraid of being hit.

Takata Tezuka didn't offer any more after her first offer. She smiled and looked at a group of peers bidding there.

The price quickly climbed to 550000, but no one has made a leapfrog bid. Unlike when the Medusa bronze carving was auctioned last year, alfev, a local tyrant in the Middle East, had to raise the price by 10% or even 20% every time he bid.

This is the normal auction. Everyone wants to win the fish, but the bids are more cautious. That's what the Japanese do. They try to win their goals at a small price.

Finally, the price was set at 562000 yuan, which was given by a seafood merchant named Dali rilu. The auctioneer shouted twice, and the surrounding seafood merchants shook their heads with regret in their eyes.

At this time, hatsuka finally started: "Hi Dai village, 565000!"

The president of Dali rilu Co., Ltd. also took the lead. He was a short man with a heroic face. He looked at Tezuka xiaotai and shouted, "Tezuka sauce, you are really arrogant! I knew you wouldn't let me go so easily. It seems that today is the time for us to fight to the death! "

OTA Tezuka laughed and said, "well sauce, you know my temper. To be honest, I took this fish. I must take him back. Please quote."

"570000!" The president of Dali rilu looked provocatively at hyota Tezuka.

At this moment, OTA Tezuka showed his momentum as the king of the Tsukiji market. He held his arms in front of his chest and said proudly: "how about this, well side sauce? I'll give you my reserve price, 600000! If you follow, the fish is yours. If you don't follow, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to accept it. "

The president of Dali rilu and the two people around him chewed their ears and discussed for more than ten seconds. Then he laughed and looked at Tezuka xiaotai drum palm and said, "well, I have to be convinced. I lost to you again! Tezuka, Tezuka, you are so cruel! 360 million, you will become a hero in the eyes of the Japanese people again! "

Qin Shiou hugged Nelson, bird and Iverson. OK, after the sale, the total price is almost 360 million, which is 18 million in RMB, 3.6 million in Canadian dollars and 3 million in US dollars!

The world record was broken again. This year's bluefin tuna auction set another record, directly raising the price from $2.2 million to $3 million.

Butler came up to congratulate Qin Shiou. Qin Shiou said, "Congratulations, man, it's also your credit."

Indeed, without Butler, it is difficult for Qin Shiou to transport the fish to Tokyo and sell it - bluefin tuna can't be sold if you catch it. You need to have a tuna fishing license on a commercial fishing boat to sell the caught tuna.

Butler did everything for Nelson. He didn't tell Qin Shiou how much he spent. He bluntly deducted it from the 22% commission.

Everyone in the audience applauded and congratulated xiaotai Tezuka for taking the fish king. The latter smiled and bowed to the people with a proud face.

Qin Shiou shook his head and said to Butler, "I can't understand it. Tezuka has suffered a loss. Why is he so proud?"

Butler took him aside and said, "no, Qin, it's you who suffer! The meat quality of your fish is rated as SSS grade, which has never been before! If it weren't for the damn Tokyo Fisheries Agency auction price limit, the unit price of your fish could exceed one million yen! "

"Day! My fish is so awesome? "

"It's awesome. I've never seen such delicate Tuna meat! I've never seen such a beautiful fish pattern! Do you know what the belly fat rate of your fish is? "

"How much?"

"16% against the sky!"
