CCTV *** When it comes to the New Year, people often receive the blessing of "fish every year". Located at the easternmost tip of China's land, Fuyuan City can not only welcome the first rays of sunshine of the new year, but also the area with the most complete species and the largest production of freshwater fish in China. At present, Fuyuan has entered the off-season for tourism, but a 100-year-old fish market here is selling well.
CCTV reporter Yang Yaoyu: Now, the outdoor temperature in Fuyuan is close to minus 30 degrees, and the whole fish market is like a natural refrigerator.
The 200-meter-long Antarctic Fish Market has 65 fish shops, large and small. Although the weather is cold, many people are so busy that their heads are hot, and they don't have time to wipe off the frost on their eyebrows and eyelashes. Open the door, pack, ship, and the day's business starts in a busy one.
Reporter: How many boxes have been sent early this morning?
Duan Changji, owner of the shop in Fuyuan Dongji Fish Market: There must be more than 20 pieces. I can show you our order. After the orders shipped every day are sent, a tick will be drawn, and there will be unpacked ones, which will be sent to all parts of the country.
What the reporter didn't expect was that in the fish market, which had already entered the off-season, there were not a few businesses like this who were busy. In the past, in winter, the lack of tourists and low sales were the biggest problems for fish owners.
Jiang Jianyuan, owner of Fuyuan Dongji Fish Market: When we had a traditional business model before, we were already resting at this time in winter and were not busy. Now through live broadcast, you can receive orders every day, and you can be busy until the end of the year, so that everyone in the fish market will make more money, which must be a earth-shaking change.
Xiao Jiang told reporters that almost all merchants in the fish market have opened an online sales model, some do live broadcasts, and some open ** on the e-commerce platform. The fishing nets are seamlessly connected to the Internet, and the local cold chain logistics and distribution system has also been built. Now, this "Yiwei Xian" from the easternmost end can be served to the tables of food lovers all over the country in the fastest time.
Jiang Jianyuan, the owner of the shop in Fuyuan Dongji Fish Market: Look at this fish, this fish is the goods ordered by a customer in Hebei, more than 50 catties, and it will be sent to Hebei in two to three days, such as Yunnan, Hainan or Xinjiang, and we have sent it in three days.
In 2023, there will be a total of 11 logistics enterprises in Fuyuan City, with a shipment volume of more than 250 pieces, a year-on-year increase of 389%, 9 express delivery companies, 1.31 million shipments, a year-on-year increase of 103%. The construction of the new cold chain logistics park has also been completed not long ago and is ready to be delivered.
CCTV reporter Yang Yaoyu: After walking around, what touched me the most was that the changes in the East Pole Fish Market are like a microcosm of the city's development.
The convenience of logistics, the smooth flow of logistics, and the emergence of new business formats have made the "far" of this border town no longer the "difficult" that prevents it from embracing all parts of the country and the world, and also makes the "cold" of minus twenty or thirty degrees in winter no longer a "wall" restricting economic development.
