Chapter 652 Concept Product
When sharks approached the boat, they cleverly used the flexibility of the boat to avoid the sharks' attacks and at the same time led the sharks to an area far away from the fishing boats.
After a thrilling fight, they finally succeeded in getting rid of the shark. This experience made them more cautious in exploring each new sea area. They began to study the ecological environment and marine life habits of different sea areas in depth and formulate more perfect response strategies.
The development of the "Sea Alliance" was not smooth sailing. Disagreements and conflicts often arose among internal members over issues such as the distribution of interests and resource sharing. As a core figure in the organization, Qi Tongwei often had to act as a mediator in these conflicts. Once, several member fleets had a fierce argument over the distribution of the harvest from a large-scale fishing operation.
One party believed that they had invested more manpower and material resources in this operation and should get a larger share; the other party emphasized that they had made greater contributions in the early exploration and preparation work. Both parties insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in, and the atmosphere was once deadlocked. Qi Tongwei patiently listened to the opinions and demands of both parties, and then proposed a distribution plan based on the principles of fairness and justice.
He suggested that the harvest be distributed according to the comprehensive contribution of each fleet in the entire fishing process, including factors such as preliminary exploration, manpower input, equipment use, and other contributions to the "Sea Alliance" organization. At the same time, he also set up a special arbitration committee to handle similar disputes and conflicts in the future. Through this mediation, the conflicts within the "Sea Alliance" were properly resolved and the relationship between members became closer.
In the tide of the Age of Discovery, Qi Tongwei and his partners always adhere to the spirit of justice and fearlessness. Their fate is closely linked to the sea, and every challenge and difficulty is a step for their growth. Whether facing competition at sea, dangerous marine life, or conflicts within the organization, they can deal with it with firm belief and wisdom.
As the internal conflicts of the "Sea Alliance" were resolved, Qi Tongwei knew that they could not just be satisfied with the status quo, but needed to plan a more ambitious blueprint for the long-term development of the organization. He began to think about how to further expand the fishery industry chain and enhance the influence and competitiveness of the entire "Sea Alliance".
At a high-level meeting of the "Haimeng", Qi Tongwei proposed a bold idea: to establish his own fishery processing and trading system. He believed that relying solely on catching and selling raw fish would result in limited profit margins and would be greatly affected by market fluctuations. If the caught fish could be processed into various high-end fish products, such as exquisite caviar, high-quality canned fish, and dried fish with unique flavors, it would not only increase the added value of the products, but also extend the shelf life of the products and expand sales channels and market scope.
Once this proposal was put forward, it triggered heated discussions in the meeting room. Some members expressed concerns about this plan. They believed that establishing a processing and trading system would require huge capital investment, including building processing plants, purchasing processing equipment, hiring professional technicians, and exploring markets. This was undoubtedly a huge challenge for the members of the "Sea Alliance" who were mostly fishermen. Moreover, they lacked relevant business operation experience. If they failed, they might lose all the assets accumulated by the "Sea Alliance" over the years.
Qi Tongwei listened carefully to everyone's concerns. He understood that the members' concerns were not unreasonable. However, he firmly believed that only by daring to innovate and break through could the "Sea Alliance" truly gain a foothold and prosper in the Age of Discovery. He elaborated on his plan in detail: First, in terms of fund raising, the members' fleets could contribute in proportion to pool everyone's strength; at the same time, they could actively seek support from bank loans and government fishery support policies. In the construction of the processing plant, a location close to the port with convenient transportation was selected to facilitate the transportation of raw materials and the distribution of finished products. For processing technology, he proposed to cooperate with professional fishery research institutions to introduce advanced processing technology and formulas to ensure that product quality reaches world-class standards.
In order to dispel members' concerns about market development, Qi Tongwei shared his in-depth research results on the current fishery market. He pointed out that with the development of the global economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for high-quality seafood is growing, especially in some developed countries and regions, where the market potential for high-end fish products is huge. "Haimeng" can start with the domestic market, establish its own sales network, and establish long-term cooperative relationships with high-end restaurants and supermarkets in major cities; at the same time, use the Internet platform to carry out online sales and expand brand awareness. After the domestic market stabilizes, it will gradually enter the international market, participate in international fishery expositions, establish contacts with foreign distributors, and promote "Haimeng" products to the world.
With Qi Tongwei's patient persuasion and detailed planning, the members were gradually infected by his enthusiasm and determination, and began to recognize and support this plan. As a result, the "Haimeng" worked together to start the journey of building a fishery processing and trading system.
The construction process was full of hardships and challenges. During the construction of the processing plant, many technical difficulties and construction obstacles were encountered. For example, in order to ensure the sterile environment and precise temperature control of the caviar processing workshop, they repeatedly debugged the equipment and optimized the layout of the workshop, and invited experts for guidance many times. In terms of personnel recruitment and training, due to the high professionalism of the fishery processing industry, it is not easy to recruit suitable technicians and workers. Qi Tongwei personally participated in the recruitment work, running around, establishing contacts with major fishery colleges and vocational training institutions, recruiting a group of young people with potential, and providing them with systematic training courses to ensure that they can master the processing technology and operating procedures.
After months of hard work, the fishery processing plant of "Haimeng" was finally built and put into production smoothly. When the first batch of caviar, canned fish and other products came off the production line, the members looked at the beautifully packaged products with pride and expectation. However, the market reaction was not as they wished at first. Since "Haimeng" is a new brand with low market visibility, product sales faced difficulties. Many distributors took a wait-and-see attitude towards their products. Although some high-end restaurants and supermarkets recognized the quality of the products, they were cautious in purchasing quantities.
Qi Tongwei once again faced tremendous pressure, but he did not back down. He led his team members to personally visit the market, visiting dealers and customers one by one, and introducing them to the brand concept, product advantages and strict quality control system of "Haimeng".
