Chapter 95 The Fleet Stands Firm
She thought Mr. Qi was a nice person, and after renting the house, she never thought that such a thing would happen.
However, if that person continued to pester her, it would also be a problem for her, so she went to Angkor and mentioned this matter.
Wu Ge knew that person: "He is lazy and greedy, and he thinks he can make a lot of money without any work... Don't worry about it. Old man Qi is a reasonable person and will not take back your boat. You can continue to use it. If he comes to you again, we will all go to his house for a visit."
Saying that he was just going to sit down was already a statement that he would stand on Shi Qingqing's side.
Shi Qingqing thought to herself that it was a good thing that she did not always have the mentality of being a lone wolf. Instead, she chose to promise some benefits to make herself a valuable and worthwhile connection in the eyes of others. Now, when she encountered problems, others could also become her connections.
This incident did not cause Shi Qingqing to feel any pressure.
Because money is a person's courage, a person's waist, and a person's backbone.
Now, even if she rows a wooden boat, she won’t lose money.
If the other party pushes her into a corner, Shi Qingqing will make sure he will pay the price.
So I went about my life as usual for the next few days, but when I returned in the evening one day, I was stuck in traffic again, this time at the dock.
Let’s call that guy from last time Xiao Qi.
He had a bad expression this time. He was no longer as calm as when they last met and talked. There was a hint of impatience in his eyes. "You said you would need a few days to think about it and find a new ship first. It's been so many days and there's still no news. You're not just trying to fool me, are you?"
You discovered it.
Shi Qingqing thought to herself.
She did not quarrel with this man here, but asked him to move away and took the old man who rented the boat to Angkor, the captain of the boat, to resolve the matter.
Shi Qingqing thought that Mr. Qi would either not come or say a few fair words, but after Mr. Qi came, he just gave Shi Qingqing a whole year's rent in the face of his son's surprised and angry eyes.
Even the captain of the ship couldn't speak first.
This means that the ship has been used for half a year in vain.
It depends on what other demands Shi Qingqing has.
Shi Qingqing smiled and said, "Okay, this will be your payment for breach of contract and the remaining half year's rent for me."
Xiao Qi was delighted.
Now I don’t feel sad anymore.
I thought to myself that women are women, and all they care about is this little bit of money.
Several fishermen with boats who were watching nearby thought to themselves that it was no wonder Shi Qingqing was willing to spend money to make so many changes, as it turned out that the rent was so cheap that it was almost nothing.
Xiao Qi was just about to take back the key when he heard Shi Qingqing say, "What your ship looked like originally is written in the handwritten contract. It can be said that it is almost in a half-scrapped state. You have to admit this, old man."
Mr. Qi glanced at his son, as if he was afraid of something, but still nodded and acknowledged Shi Qingqing's statement.
"Later, I invested twice to make it work properly. Both times, I had it renovated by Guo's family, even painted. At that time, Mr. Qi thought that if I took good care of the boat, there would be no problem renting it to me for a few years, so I took great care of it.
Of course, anyone can overturn verbal statements without other witnesses, but the configuration written in black and white cannot be changed. The bill is with me, and the Guo family is in the village. You can go to collect evidence at any time.
If you want to break the contract and take back your boat, in addition to returning the rent of the small amount of melons and dates, please pay me this money immediately, otherwise I will damage it to the same level as before and shovel off another layer of the boat skin. You choose one."
Shi Qingqing didn't scream sharply, nor did she make any violent body movements or expressions, but her words were full of ruthlessness.
Two choices, either you pay me or I destroy the ship.
But her words did make sense. She did spend more money than renting it to take care of the boat. It was not reasonable for the Qi family to take back the boat early.
If the matter of improving the boat had not occurred, and the Qi family had waived the boat rental fees for these few months, that could be considered as being polite and knowing the rules, and no one would blame them even if the money was taken back abruptly.
But Xiao Qi and his son knew that the ship had been modified, but they only asked for a few months of free rent, which was different.
Faced with such a high modification fee, Xiao Qi was completely caught off guard.
He only thought about Shi Qingqing living a prosperous life after getting the boat.
The old man in the convenience store also said that it was because of this boat that the luck was good this year, otherwise how could a woman make a living?
When Xiao Qi heard that, he started to observe Shi Qingqing. Every time she came back, she would just bring a small bucket with her. She was relaxed all day long and never hesitated when buying vegetables and other things. It was said that she only went to the sea to sell some goods.
Xiao Qi felt that he had never thought of selling goods at sea before. If women could do this kind of work, he could definitely do it too.
His family just paid off his gambling debts, and now everyone is looking down on him.
If he could take back this profitable boat and return the little money to his family, he would see who would dare to talk to him like this.
Who knows, when my luck returns, I might be able to play a few more times and win back all my previous money!
Who would have thought that before the business started and the dream began to come true, a realistic problem arose.
He couldn't afford the modification!
"What are you talking about! I didn't ask you to install that! If you dare to do anything to my ship, just try it!"
Shi Qingqing only looked at the ship owner: "Mr. Qi, what do you say?"
Old man Qi felt ashamed to even call him old gentleman.
But when she thought about how she had directly rejected her son, her son, whose temperament had changed drastically due to the word "gambling", actually started punching and kicking her grandchildren, and even lifted them up and said that they had no money to grow up, so she might as well throw them to death.
Mr. Qi had no choice but to come here with a thick face, and pushing all the rent to Shi Qingqing was the only thing he could do to remain calm.
At this moment, his son looked at him threateningly again, and Mr. Qi opened his mouth.
My son has gone crazy. If he doesn't get the ship, he will cause new trouble.
"You're right. I rented the boat cheaply because it was unusable."
"Dad!????" Xiao Qi clenched his fists. "What nonsense are you talking about? The boat was fine to begin with. I haven't even bothered about her messing up the boat yet!
Hey, I'm telling you, either you restore it to its original state, or, or I'll give you two hundred yuan as compensation for this matter, or let's see who dares to help you demolish it!"
Old Wu smiled: "Xiao Qi, that's not what I meant. Boss Shi is now a member of our fleet. Isn't it a bit too much for you to threaten her in front of me?"
Several ship owners also stared at Xiao Qi.
So what if such a gambler is a villager?
It brings no contribution, no benefit and no value to them.
On the contrary, Shi Qingqing has connections who can sell goods at high prices, and also has a circle of friends who can wholesale food, clothing and daily necessities. They have already benefited from it, so they can sell them for a few hundred yuan more by picking and choosing, and it will not affect the sale of their other catches. This means that they can earn a few hundred yuan more by spending a dozen minutes, and two or three times a month is not a small amount.
Shi Qingqing still sells high-end beverages at wholesale prices. During the Chinese New Year period, they can take out their high-end beverages and expensive foreign liquors to visit relatives and friends, which makes them look very prestigious.
Who knows if Shi Qingqing has a larger network of contacts behind her? Seeing that her husband is not tempted by the booming beverage and alcohol business, nor the profits from the floating supermarket, and he doesn't even go fishing with his wife, he must have more lucrative jobs out there.
Rather than making friends with a gambler, it is better to be tied to Shi Qingqing's interests.
Therefore, these people's positions are clear.
