Chapter 288: Chapter 285: Million-Dollar Auction Price, Return to the Grasslands!
The fishing boat squad gathered.
Due to the late hour, the fleet began to return.
Some were delighted, while others were worried.
The delighted one was naturally Jiang Feng. After braving a storm, he successfully caught a bluefin tuna at sea, along with some special sea fish in the collected fishing net.
Those worried were the three people on another fishing boat, who had bad luck. A wave hit, causing the boat to flip, and all three were thrown overboard.
Luckily, the boat didn’t sink and after being rescued, they reboarded and sailed towards the shore.
People on the yacht gathered around, peering towards Jiang Feng’s fishing boat.
Jiang Feng sat by the side of the fishing boat, leaning against the hull. In front of him was a giant fish over four meters long.
On ordinary days, whoever catches a big fish in the pond would wish to carry it around town twice.
Just to show everyone how big the fish they caught is.
But now, the fish Jiang Feng caught was much bigger than a person.
Looking at its size, it’s hard to imagine how it was caught!
A true king of fish!
"Is that a bluefin tuna? He really caught it!"
"He worked so hard! Bluefin tuna is rare and such a big fish can’t be caught with a net!"
"That size must be worth at least a million starting point!"
Team members on the yacht discussed enthusiastically.
The adventure team leader Zhou Lang, knowing Jiang Feng caught a big fish, steered his boat next to Jiang Feng’s.
The fishing boat was easy to maneuver, and soon the two boats were parallel.
Zhou Lang jumped directly over from his boat.
Seeing the bluefin tuna on the boat, his eyes went wide.
"You really caught it, that’s incredible!"
"We have spotted bluefin tuna in that sea region, but could never catch them."
"The chance to catch with a net is extremely low, and the fish spear’s power is too small to penetrate its skin."
"I didn’t expect you to catch one with a whale hunting spear!"
"Amazing!"
Zhou Lang praised him while examining it back and forth.
He organized the tuna hunting activity four times already.
But this was the first time someone caught a tuna.
Of course, as a deep-sea fishing expert, they caught many precious sea fish, earning quite a bit each outing.
After all, with such strong winds and waves, the fish are definitely expensive.
But tuna is too hard to catch, they usually treat hunting tuna as a gimmick.
In the end, only Jiang Feng really took it seriously.
He said he would catch tuna, and he did!
Standing by the whale hunting spear for over two hours, waiting motionlessly, not everyone could do that.
Jiang Feng was calm, simply replying:
"The boat almost capsized at the time, luckily I succeeded in the end."
Zhou Lang looked around and said:
"Such a big bluefin tuna is rare, if auctioned, there won’t be a shortage of bidders."
Jiang Feng replied: "We’ll see once ashore, I do plan to auction it."
Soon, many team members came to admire the big fish Jiang Feng caught.
The more everyone looked, the more envious they became.
Although some felt jealous, being club members and quite affluent, they didn’t show it outwardly.
This fish completely belonged to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng was very pleased.
Even selling it for a million could cover the cost of building a ranch.
He managed a large ranch after all, with many investments and quite some pressure.
As a ranch owner, even coming to Hainan, he constantly thought about making money.
Thus, the fishing boat hurried back to the port.
Even before landing, many people waited at the port.
"Look quickly, the fleet is back!"
"Which boat is the master’s?"
"I want to see the big fish!"
People shouted eagerly.
In recent years, Jiang Feng’s actions undoubtedly caught many people’s attention as the largest fish caught by fishermen at sea.
Once the boat docked, a crowd of anglers and local fishermen looked towards the fishing boat.
Seeing a terrifying tuna over 4 meters long, they all showed shock on their faces!
Is such a big fish something humans can catch by hand?
Indeed, humanity is the absolute master in this era!
"It really is a bluefin tuna!"
"This big, it must weigh four or five hundred pounds!"
"A top-tier sea fish showing up, it’s going to be lively!"
"A pro is truly a pro!"
At this time, Zhou Lang was also busy.
He organized the fleet members to count the supplies, then gathered all the members for a photo.
Finally catching a bluefin tuna, they certainly wanted to take a picture with it!
Everyone gathered around the bluefin tuna, with two people at the back holding a banner reading "** Club Adventure Gathering! Hunting Tuna!"
Everyone was genuinely happy.
Though the fish was caught by Jiang Feng, everyone could be proud together.
This photo was bound to become the club’s signature.
After taking the photo, as soon as Jiang Feng stepped onto the dock, many people came over to inquire about the price.
"Master Jiang, can you sell this fish to me for 500,000? I’ll take it straight away!"
"I’ll give 550,000, sell it to me!"
"Brother, are you selling the fish? I’m really buying, I can transfer the money right now!"
It was clear that the value of this bluefin tuna was indeed high.
As a top-notch ocean ingredient, too many people wanted to taste it.
Moreover, only wild tuna, which spends its life swimming rapidly, can offer such a taste.
Jiang Feng politely refused these small vendors’ offers.
Then, he chose to collaborate with Zhou Lang and entrusted a local auction house to organize a tuna auction event.
The auction house’s connections were unmatched by small vendors.
Thus, around 10 pm that evening, the auction house began organizing the auction.
For a moment, many bigwigs were alerted.
There were many wealthy people by the sea, many top tycoons had properties and yachts in Sanya, and they also liked to vacation in such places.
They preferred such activities even more.
The starting bid for the tuna was 800,000, which was a very low price.
For the savvy big bosses, they naturally knew the huge profit in this.
Thus, the bidding price surged all the way up.
In just a few minutes, it rose to over 2 million.
Jiang Feng was also present and smiled happily.
He already had a renovation plan for the ranch in his mind.
In the end, the auction price of this bluefin tuna reached exactly 3 million.
million, without much premium, if handled properly, there’s still a profit.
The buyer was a local real estate tycoon who had just bought a piece of land called "Cyan Snail Bay" in the past two days and had also obtained a land reclamation permit, promising great future development.
He specially bought 800,000-worth red wine and this 3 million bluefin tuna just to celebrate.
million, with tens of thousands deducted in taxes, as per the national rule, there’s no alternative.
Receiving over 2 million, Jiang Feng was quite satisfied.
This adventure was truly thrilling.
Everything had settled down.
The next day at noon, Jiang Feng was livestreaming food in the kitchen, stewing a pot of East Star Grouper soup.
East Star Grouper is also a top ingredient, which is very suitable for sashimi, but Jiang Feng doesn’t like raw fish, so he cooked it instead.
Netizens kept inquiring in the livestream room.
[Master Jiang, I heard that fish sold for 3 million, is that true?]
[I’m not envious of Master Jiang making money at all because he really has skills!]
[I wouldn’t dare go to such a sea, safety first!]
[3 million, is he here for tourism or to make money?]
Jiang Feng is now popular, and the bluefin tuna incident naturally went viral online.
His traffic is terrifying now, and it’s all genuine traffic.
His trending search is still hanging online.
#Master Jiang: Stormy Hunt for Bluefin Tuna#
#The Sea’s Most Terrifying Hunter#
The related topic’s popularity is around 12 million, ranking first on the trending search.
The video had been played over 300 million times.
Some might have reopened it multiple times, but that play count is still astounding.
Netizens were stunned after watching the video.
With the wind howling and waves crashing, he stood beside the Whale Hunting Spear in a raincoat, aiming carefully, and then struck successfully.
Isn’t this ranch master definitely someone who grew up by the sea?
How is he so good at fishing!
Some fans jokingly call him the "King of the Deep Sea," and others call him the "Fishing Master."
Everyone loves giving him nicknames.
Mainly because Jiang Feng is genuinely impressive.
Jiang Feng, stewing the East Star Grouper in the pot, said to everyone:
"I was quite lucky to catch a big tuna, which sold for a high price."
"Looking back, it was indeed quite dangerous."
"Everyone, please don’t try to imitate this easily."
Hearing him say this, the netizens responded again:
[Imitate? Master Jiang, you’re overestimating us!]
[I’d love to imitate it, but my capabilities don’t allow it at all!]
The atmosphere in the livestream room was particularly relaxed.
Half a month has passed, and it’s already mid-November.
Jiang Feng plans to return to the grasslands by mid-December.
Handle things at the ranch and maybe have a meal with business partners.
For the next period, Jiang Feng enjoyed a happy life by the sea with his girlfriend every day.
During free time, they would play with the puppies.
The four little Border Collies were especially adorable; Xiaojin Hua and Milk Candy watched their owner play with their kids, smiling happily.
The bluefin tuna video brought Jiang Feng a lot of traffic.
Jiang Feng’s number of fans keeps increasing, and unknowingly, it’s about to reach 20 million.
However, besides live streaming, he never thought about what else traffic could bring him.
He hasn’t even accepted any commercial advertisements.
After resting for another month, at the end of December, Jiang Feng and his girlfriend ended their vacation.
Liu Yiyi returned to Hulunbei’er, while Jiang Feng returned to his ranch.
