Japan is the second largest market for ornamental fish in the world, and related industries driven by ornamental fish are also thriving, and these companies generally appear in the upstream of the ornamental fish industry chain, thus creating a number of world-renowned aquarium enterprises.

Japan has a huge aquarium market, and it's doing well.

Although Japan is cramped and has many people and lacks natural resources, it is precisely because of the country's high-rise buildings that there is not so much space for pets such as cats and dogs, so raising ornamental fish has become the best choice.

This choice has also promoted the exhibition of the aquarium industry in Japan, and the aquarium has become an important ornament in the family, with 1o%-15% of families in Japan having aquariums, about 12oo aquarium enthusiasts, and annual domestic sales of 1.4oo billion yen (about 1.2 billion US dollars).

The United States and the United Kingdom have traditionally been the top two important markets for Singapore's ornamental fish exports, but since 1994, Japan has replaced the United States as the main buyer.

In recent years, the demand for ornamental fish in Japan has shown steady growth.

Japan's ornamental fish breeding technology is also world-class, Japan introduced Chinese goldfish varieties, carefully researched and cultivated, and opened up the export of Liujin, Zuojin, Japanese Lanshou, Crown Pearl and other export hot varieties.

After more than 1oo years of hard work, the Japanese have improved the koi fish native to China and made it the national fish of Japan, and exported it to Europe, America, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

There is a wide variety of ornamental fish in Japan, and exhibitions and tastings are held every year to reward and encourage the best species of the year. Promotion of the animal husbandry exhibition.

The Japanese aquarium community attaches great importance to koi fish, and koi enthusiasts have organized the "Love Koi Club", which holds a nationwide exhibition in Tokyo every year.

Domestic and foreign members of the "Love Carp Club" are invited to select their own koi to participate in the competition.

Many koi competitions held in China will invite experts to come to judge to enhance the professionalism of the competition.

As Liu Shu popularized his fish farming experience to Han Peacock, Han Peacock also found some Japanese ornamental fish breeding information, which made him start to value koi fish and even the ornamental fish market.

By this time, Han Peacock had already knew. Koi fish are not as easy to raise as the clerk below introduced.

Koi fish have high requirements for the external environment. For example, the pond water should be fully introduced with oxygen, parasites should be expelled, and the sewage at the bottom of the pond should be discharged, so that the koi will no longer die lightly.

Now these, as long as you buy a professional aquarium, you can completely solve it. If you are buying a professional feed. Raising koi fish is even more problematic.

Presently. The annual export of ornamental fish in the world is about 1 billion fish, and the trade volume is as high as 5 million US dollars.

According to statistics, the global ornamental fish trade is growing at a rate of more than 1o% per year.

There are hundreds of millions of people around the world who enjoy farming ornamental fish, and ornamental fish are the third largest pet after cats and dogs.

The world market is far from saturated with ornamental fish. It still has a lot of market space.

But the Japanese are not without rivals, taking Japan's proudest koi as an example, the largest producer of koi is Japan, which has the most mature breeding technology and equipment, and has a large number of high-quality, pure-blooded koi, which makes enthusiasts from all over the world flock to it.

Koi yakers and practitioners from all over the world visit the auspicious places of koi in Hiroshima and Niigata in Japan every year in search of famous carp.

However, in recent years, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Israel, China Big 6 and other regions have sprung up, and the level of breeding and product competitiveness are close to Japan, which has effectively impacted the market pattern of Japan.

So now, the competition between countries is the real ability, who raises beautiful fish, who has a more market.

Seeing that Liu Shu was not in a hurry to sell the koi in his hand, Han Peacock said curiously: "What are you looking at?" ”

"I'm looking to see if there are any good fish recently, and if there is potential, I can buy it back and raise it for a few months, maybe I can make a lot of money." Willow said with a smile.

"Look at the manager Xu who is a three-color koi, he is recently going to take a few of his fish to the koi club auction, the average starting price is more than 1,000 yuan, and among the more than 2o koi raised in his ecological fish pond, the highest price is more than 6,000 yuan."

"Sometimes, there will be some customers who will bring the fish they raised here to sell, and it is not uncommon for the transaction price to exceed 1,000 yuan."

"Look over there, it's a famous Japanese brand, the 'Momotaro' strain koi with a body length of about 15 centimeters, the value is all marked at 5oo-8oo yuan/piece, and some adult fish with a body length of more than 4o centimeters are priced at more than 10,000 yuan."

The skyrocketing price of koi fish has made some people excited, and the person in charge of a farm in Xihu City, surnamed Zhang, said that he had received a boss who came to buy fish with more than 100,000 yuan in cash, and finally picked a dozen or so of the largest ones to go home.

In order to raise koi, the boss also specially opened a fish pond in the yard, and invited a professional to help him take care of it, in fact, he doesn't know much about koi fish, mainly as an investment, this brocade lithium fever, at the same time in major cities in the country almost at the same time, wait a while four brothers-in-law you will see their fanaticism. ”

As soon as Liu Shu finished speaking, as if he was specifically trying to verify his words, a person stopped him: "Store Manager Xu? ”

Store Manager Xu of the three-color koi stared at the black convenience bag of the willow tree and said, "Little brother, I see that you can go up to the second floor, you should be knowledgeable, so it is not good to put the fish in the convenience bag." ”

Willow smiled: "It's okay, I'm a koi, I've often been transferred by me like this, and I've adapted to it." ”

"Oh! So is the vitality of this koi fish very strong? Can you show me? Store Manager Xu's eyes lit up, and his guess just now was confirmed.

The actions on their side naturally attracted the attention of some experienced veteran players.

"What good things does Lao Xu have?" An old man came up to him.

"That is, don't hide the good things when you have them, and you can only show them through communication!" Another young man also walked over.

At this time, a few young people surrounded him, so that on the second floor of the aquarium, it was already more attractive.

Seeing that there was a tendency for more and more people to gather here, Store Manager Xu immediately said, "Little brother, I don't know if we can go inside to talk?" ”

The willow tree's table is much more mature than Han Peacock's imagination, and he smiled calmly: "Today's auction hasn't started yet, so let the juniors throw bricks and lead the way!" ”

As he spoke, Willow walked out of the passage that some people had let go, and he went directly to the middle platform on the second floor, and poured the koi fish in his plastic bag into a huge fish tank on the high platform.

"Wow!" Immediately, there was an exclamation in the audience.

"It's rare to see such a beautiful koi fish outside."

"Look at it, it's fifty-five centimeters, right?"

"Taisho Tricolor is really beautiful, it looks like he's just coming of age."

"It's a female fish, so it should be ready to spawn."

Koi fish are larger, up to 1 meter in length, weigh more than 1o kilograms, and are sexually mature to 2-3 years old. Long lifespan, about 7o years on average. Spawns are laid in April-May every year.

"The colors are so good."

Maybe this koi felt the change in the environment, and the water quality here could not be compared with the fish tank in Willow's house, so the koi who felt uncomfortable jumped directly.

I saw this big fish of more than 50 centimeters jump out of the water directly, and it was a meter high, before wagging its tail lightly, and the fish's head plunged into the water, and dived to the bottom without any splash.

"Wow!" There was another exclamation in the audience.

"It's so energetic! It's so energetic. ”

"500,000, I'll pay 500,000 to buy it." Store Manager Xu was the first to make a bid.

"Six hundred thousand."

"Seven hundred thousand."

"Eight hundred thousand."

"Wow." The successive quotations directly stunned some people.

"800,000?"

"800,000 really?"

"This is a Taisho who has just come of age, and he is about to lay eggs, which is indeed worth 800,000, but 800,000 is also at the top."

"Is there anyone else bidding? If there is no one, this Taisho tricolor is mine. "A middle-aged man of medium stature appeared at the staircase leading to the third floor.

"It's Boss Fu, it seems that this is really a good koi." Someone else is starting to talk about it.

It is naturally good to be able to be favored by Fu Changsheng, the owner of the carp house.

Although there are many people here who are older than Fu Changsheng, there are really few people who think they are more powerful than Fu Changsheng.

Willow was completely stunned at this time, although he also knew that his koi could be sold for a high price, but he never thought that just such a koi that had been raised for two months could be sold for millions.

Therefore, just when he was about to shout out the deal happily, and when everyone thought that this Taizheng tricolor must fall into the hands of Fu Changsheng, a slightly hoarse voice sounded: "Eight hundred and eighty thousand, my old man thinks it is worth this price." ”

An old man, huddled under a high platform, was holding a telescope, staring at the Taisho tricolor in the aquarium.

"Old fish?" Fu Changsheng couldn't help but laugh, looking at the old man who was a little sloppy.

"I paid 880,000, does anyone want to pay a high price?" The old man finally put away the binoculars in his hand and raised his head to look at the crowd.

In fact, Fu Changsheng is not bad at this Taizheng three-color, and the reason why he raised the price is just to build momentum.

After all, it is too difficult for retail investors outside to cultivate a good koi, and he needs publicity, so he doesn't mind paying part of the advertising fee.

But he didn't expect that this bad old man really valued this Taisho tricolor.

At this time, Fu Changsheng took a serious look at the Taisho tricolor in the aquarium, the body color is really positive, it should not be specially cultivated, it looks like it is wild, this may be the main reason why the old man of the fish values this Taisho tricolor. (To be continued......)
