In February 2010, the Hawaii Deep Sea Water Company received an order from a Chinese boy named Wu Changfeng. He wanted to buy 81 tons of deep seawater, without desalination and any processing, and to transport it to China completely sealed and unpolluted.
This puzzled americans, because there had never been a Chinese buy so much deep seawater at once. Moreover, buyers in other countries have never bought their seawater directly like Wu Changfeng. But considering that this is someone's trade secret, they don't ask much. They pumped up 81 tons of deep seawater and packed it directly into four large, highly sealed, opaque bags. In order to make it convenient for customers to take water in such a large bag, the Americans also installed a special faucet on the bag. Four large water bags are placed in 4 standard containers, which is enough to take up two-thirds of the space of the container.
Wu Changfeng here is busy with customs declaration and finding shipping companies to consignments. The customs broker and the manager of the shipping company were astonished, they had never heard of imported seawater, and they could not help but ask the unsurprisingly thin young man: "Sir, are you not joking?" Wu Changfeng said: "I am very busy, where do you have time to come and joke with you?" When they looked at Wu Changfeng's order invoice, they were still suspicious.
However, a large piece of real thunder is still to come. When four containers containing seawater arrived at Xiashan Port in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, on March 23, 2010, customs officers could not believe that they contained seawater. Fortunately, there is a tap on this big water bag, so let's take a cup to test. The test results showed that its transparency and density were no different from that of ordinary seawater, and there was no abnormality in color and odor. But that doesn't mean there can't be smuggled items in it. Seawater has become an imported commodity, and the on-site customs supervisors are also the first time that the "big girl on the car" has seen it. They hurriedly replenished their knowledge of seawater, called their brother customs offices for advice, activated a container scanner to check for mezzanine smuggling, and after determining that it was a safe commodity, they were allowed to release it by paying a deposit.
Wu Changfeng is a native of Donghai Island, Zhanjiang City. When this batch of seawater arrived at the East China Sea Island, the whole island was a sensation!
Villagers in the same village said: "He must be crazy, what is the use of importing seawater?" The most we have here is the sea. ”
His friend said: "The seawater he bought cost 1,600 yuan per ton, a total of 130,000 yuan." If I have the money, I might as well buy a piece of land or buy a car, or marry a wife. ”
His neighbor said: "He often makes some trouble, this time he buys seawater from Hawaii at any cost, the action is so big, he must want to hype himself, want to be famous!" ”
His neighbor also introduced that Wu Changfeng has lived in the East China Sea Island since he was a child, and when he was young, he went out to sea with his father to fish. Later, in order to facilitate the seawater, he actually built a shrimp nursery only 10 meters from the coast. As a result, a typhoon in 2004 wiped out his millions of assets. In recent years, the shrimp nursery he has been tinkering with has always liked to make some quiet and big things.
Nearby villagers rushed over to see if the seawater in foreign countries was different from the seawater they came into contact with every day, but they were all rejected by Wu Changfeng. When this batch of high-priced seawater flowed into the large pool specially prepared by Wu Changfeng, he immediately took measures to avoid light and seal it.
This made the local residents think that Wu Changfeng had just done something grandstanding.
More than a month later, just after everyone no longer wanted to talk about the "trouble" of Wu Changfeng's import of seawater, explosive news came out of the East China Sea Island again!
When the reporter came to Donghai Island for an interview, the technical consultant of Wu Changfeng Shrimp Nursery said that with imported seawater, the 3 million shrimp fry they bred increased their production by more than 20%. Based on this calculation, that pool of 130,000 yuan of imported seawater is enough for them to increase their income by more than 1.3 million yuan!
Originally, in order to improve the quality of breeds of shrimp, Wu Changfeng imported a batch of shrimp from abroad. However, when ordinary seawater is introduced into shrimp nursery, it must be filtered, disinfected and other treatments to ensure water quality to ensure the safe reproduction of shrimp. However, after disinfecting and filtering the seawater, many trace elements have been lost, resulting in low yields of shrimp fry. The hawaiian deep seawater imported by Wu Changfeng does not need to be filtered and disinfected, and its nutrients that are 50 times higher than ordinary seawater make up for the lack of ordinary seawater. He is to mix this deep seawater and ordinary seawater in different proportions, add "different" nutrition and trace elements to the shrimp, and through many breeding experiments, the increase in shrimp fry production has been realized.
Spending 130,000 yuan to import seawater is not speculation, but turned into millions of dollars!
