Introduction to the seafood business\x0d\\x0d\Every day, many people come to our store to inquire about how to get into the seafood business—doing seafood delivery or opening a seafood restaurant or food stall. \x0d\ This is not only because the seafood business is very profitable, but whether seafood is popular or not also represents the level of catering in a region. With the improvement of preservation technology and equipment and the continuous extension of highways to the hinterland, it has gradually become a reality for ordinary people in inland big cities to eat live seafood like people on the beach. Here we summarize the answers to relevant questions over the past few years for the reference of friends who have the same idea. \x0d\ For new entrants with small capital (around 100,000 yuan) \x0d\\x0d\ 1. Supply of goods \x0d\\x0d\ Do not look for sources of origin at the beginning \x0d\ One of the outstanding features of seafood transportation is that it is transported The fewer, the higher the cost and the harder it is to live. \x0d\ This should be easy to understand. If you transport more, you can have a larger space, a larger water body, oxygenation, and refrigeration. If you keep up with them all, the survival rate will be high. The relative transportation cost is reduced. \x0d\ Even if you know the origin of seafood, you will face a dilemma if you have small funds. If you transport too much, you will worry about not being able to sell it. If you transport too little, the unit price will be too expensive. \x0d\ Therefore, our experience over the years is that please do not do research on finding sources of supply first. A waste of energy and no gain. \x0d\ Find the nearest wholesale market to purchase \x0d\\x0d\ So what should we do? Just taking advantage of the situation. Find the nearest provincial capital city or central city around you to take advantage of the situation. If you are far away then congratulations, here is a blank sheet of paper, where you can show your talents. But remember, being a pioneer will often pay more in tuition than a latecomer. If you are very close, congratulations, maybe someone is already doing it, and you have the opportunity to learn from him and surpass him. \x0d\ 2. Investigate the market\x0d\\x0d\ After understanding the above principles, you can start. (I would like to remind you here not to sit in the office and study, otherwise you may be several steps behind) \x0d\ First of all, I suggest you get to know the local market. The best way is to make an appointment with someone who understands the hotel (at least understands business) My friend went to a famous local restaurant to eat several times. When eating, pay attention to see if there is seafood. If so, see which varieties are repeatedly recommended and which varieties are displayed in prominent positions. Write down the price so that you can cook it when you go back. Budget. After eating it a few times, you will almost know whether it can be done and whether it is good or not. \x0d\ The second thing to do is to go to the largest farmer's market. Generally, cities without seafood professional markets will have aquatic product stalls in large farmer's markets. Bring a camera, look at the varieties, and ask about prices. Talk about different seasons, changes in seafood varieties, etc. After leaving the local market, you can go to the nearest central city and provincial capital. Because you are away from home and have a relatively large budget, it is recommended to see more and eat less. Ha ha. One more thing to note is that cooking seafood is hard work. The market usually opens before dawn, and the sun has basically gone. If you like to sleep in, don’t think about doing this business. \x0d\3. Getting Started\x0d\\x0d\ After the above inspection, you basically know the current market situation of the main local products. It is recommended to start with the most popular products. You will not make much money but there will be no risk. You can also experience it. How does it feel to cook seafood? Don’t make it too complicated at first. You would rather be a big player in one variety than have everything and nothing in depth. Don’t always try to do side projects. It’s not too late to wait until you have some strength and reputation before taking action. Because the clever idea you thought of may have been tried by others and failed. \x0d\ 4. Summary \x0d\ Okay, let’s summarize. In any industry, if you are big, you can tell others to follow your custom. You can ask them to pick up the goods or to deliver the goods. Otherwise, you have to work hard to purchase the goods or even grab the lead, and then follow other people's orders. Delivered to designated location. Nowadays, large hotels in big cities have professional seafood delivery company services. There are also large supply companies that specialize in delivering goods to wholesale markets in various places. According to your own funds and strength, do your own work well, and you will slowly become a leader in this industry. The basic rule is that high-end seafood is transported by air, mainly live, and mainly appears on the tables of high-end hotels. Enter the inland big cities relatively early and relatively deeply. Expensive. No amount. In the past, mid- to low-end seafood could hardly be transported to inland cities due to long transportation times and not being worth air transport. However, ordinary people can consume it and the demand is huge. At present, trains are speeding up and highways are being built one after another, allowing many low- and medium-end varieties to enter inland cities, and the seafood industry has also seen unprecedented development opportunities.
