Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Especially Wang Lu was shocked when he heard the price of this thing:

“The price of these African yellow gums in the market is about three hundred dollars per kilogram, which is close to two thousand yuan!”

One or two thousand pounds?

If it were the previous Wang Lu, he would never dare to even think about it!

No wonder only rich people can afford this fish maw.

If you want to put it this way, this thing is really the most valuable thing on a Nile barramundi. After all, the local eating habits don’t actually have much love for fish, and these Nile barramundi don’t sell for much locally. There are high-quality and low-priced alternatives like tilapia, which are so expensive that local people with low incomes will not even consider these Nile barramundi, even though their meat is more delicious...

In fact, these African yellow fish maws can only be regarded as low-end products in the isinglass category, and the price of truly high-end isinglass can even surprise people.

For example, the yellow-lipped fish maw produced by the yellow-lipped fish that Parker just mentioned can be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan per pound. It is very popular among wealthy people in China, especially in Hong Kong Island and surrounding areas. .

However, as those rare marine fish species become increasingly difficult to find, the isinglass produced by some freshwater fish species has appeared in the eyes of people who are keen on this stuff.

The Nile barramundi is one of the best. Who knows that these Nile barramundi can grow to one or two meters in size at any time. The larger the size, the larger the size of the swim bladder in its body, and the final isinglass obtained by drying is also The bigger.

This type of supplement, or categories like wild ginseng, mainly depends on the year. The older the year, the more expensive the price. Sometimes the year differs by a few years, and the price can vary by several percent. And for supplements like isinglass What matters is the size. The bigger the size, the higher the purchase price.

Their underlying logic is actually about rarity.

Obviously, the fish maw produced by the hundreds of kilograms of Nile River barramundi caught by these Bantu fishermen is definitely a rare treasure among African yellow fish maws!

According to Parker, if the market price of ordinary African yellow gum is one to two thousand yuan, then the price of African yellow gum of this size can definitely double.

This made Wang Lu a little touched. He knew very well how much money it was for these Bantu fishermen who relied on a few sampans to make a living and wore tattered clothes. However, the other party did not hesitate to It was given to myself.

In fact, he annihilated those water bandits just because they harassed his own territory, and he just solved the trouble for these Bantu fishermen...

The Bantu fisherman in front of him showed a simple smile, and his big white teeth were dazzling in the sun.

Wang Lu naturally couldn't do anything, so he directly said to Parker:

"Parker, give them cash according to the market price and treat it as if I bought it!"

He knew that this guy had the habit of tipping strippers in bars, so he always carried cash with him.

When Parker heard this, he could only quickly pay for it, and then chatted with the fisherman for a few words in Swahili before trying to send him away. As a result, the fisherman stiffened his neck and refused to accept the money, turned around and left.

This also made Wang Lu feel better about these Bantu fishermen.

After the Bantu fishermen left with the remaining body of the Nile barramundi, Wang Lu also had the swim bladder collected.

Combined with the size of the barramundi just now, according to the saying that one tael of gelatin for ten kilograms of fish, this thing will weigh two or three kilograms after drying. This is a rare big size among isinglasses. Those with... Qian people believe that the larger the isinglass, the better it is for the body.

So Wang Lu thought for a while and decided to take this thing back to dry it and replenish his wife's body. However, these Bantu fishermen gave Wang Lu some good ideas. After returning home, Wang Lu also searched online and found that African yellow gum has become more and more popular in recent years, and it seems to be a good choice.

When I bought new land for the ranch, I also obtained the development rights for a large area of ​​water near my property.

However, so far, Wang Lu has not figured out how to manage this water area, so he is temporarily focusing on building a hotel.

But there is no doubt that this matter will be put on the agenda sooner or later.

Obviously, when the hotel is completed, a single lake view will definitely not be enough. It is best to provide tourists with a certain water experience, such as fishing and surfing, which Wang Lu has envisioned.

"If these Nile barramundi can be cultivated, they can be provided for fishing by tourists, and they can also produce yellow fish gum, it would be a good choice!"

Wang Lu had already begun to make calculations in his mind.

This thing seems to be a big problem for the entire lake area ecology. Even if it has been fished so hard for such a long time, the number is still very objective. If you want to breed it yourself, it may be quite difficult.

The first thing to consider is that these guys are too edible. This powerful predatory fish has already wiped out many species in Lake Victoria.

In addition to being heavily fished, there are also some reasons why these Nile barramundi rarely appear in large individuals. The ecology of the lake has been completely destroyed by these guys, and they themselves are not far from extinction. .

Is it possible that I have to put in a lot of bottom fish and shrimp to feed these Nile barramundi?

For an area as large as Lake Victoria, how many bottom fish and shrimps do you need to put in? The cost is too great!

Even if it was to build a fence around the area, the cost would still be high, and Wang Lu suddenly had a headache.

He will not do a loss-making business where input and output are completely disproportionate.

“It would be great if there was some economical and practical way!”

Wang Lu thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of any good ideas.

Back at the base camp, my big boy waved his fat hand and rushed towards me. As soon as I hugged this boy, he said in a sweet voice:

"Dad stinks!"

Zhou Rou on the side immediately took her son away and said with a smile:

"It smells fishy!"

Wang Lu also immediately realized that it was the Nile barramundi swim bladder that caused the incident. Even though he didn't do it himself, his body was still inevitably stained with a fishy smell. Wasn't this caused by his great eldest son? Disgusted.

Wang Lu could only take a shower first, and then mentioned the isinglass. (End of chapter)
