Chapter 355 Two Old Ships

Director Zhou looked at Zhou Chenglei and said, "Didn't you ask me to see if anyone wants to sell old boats for new ones? Someone happened to come and order a new boat yesterday. He planned to sell two old fishing boats for new ones."

Director Zhou looked at Zhou Chengsen again: "Those two boats are a bit old, but they are the same size as the one your eldest brother ordered. They are just a little old, about ten years old. However, they are well maintained and can definitely run for another five or six years. If they are well maintained, I think they can be repaired and run for another ten or eight years. The owner asked for three thousand, and you can bargain for two thousand eight or two thousand five, which is about the same. Do you want it?"

Li Xiuxian frowned when she heard this. The boat is ten years old, which means it is even more dilapidated than the one at home.

Besides, the boat at home cost about three thousand yuan when we bought it. Now a ten-year-old boat costs three thousand yuan?

How could a boat from ten years ago be worth so much money? Besides, what if it needs frequent repairs? "Nothing has happened, has it?" She was quite reluctant about this.

Director Zhou: "Absolutely not. I can guarantee that."

Li Xiuxian asked, "Can we take a look at the boat first?"

Director Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, this is a big fish, not a vegetable. Of course we have to take a look. When you are free, I will ask him to drive over and let you take a look."

Zhou Chenglei said, "Please call and ask Director Zhou if he can come to the shipyard now, or if he can go to our village dock at 5 pm. If not, he can go to our village tomorrow. I will buy both."

Zhou Chenglei turned his head and looked at Zhou Chengsen: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, if you like it, I will transfer one to you. If you think it is not suitable, I will keep both and you can order a new ship. How about that?"

Zhou Chenglei had originally asked Director Zhou to pay attention to this matter. Director Zhou was a man of his word, and since he said the boat was well maintained, it must be well maintained.

As for whether something would happen or not, he was not afraid, nor did he believe it. He had crawled out of a pile of dead bodies and had killed many enemies.

Don't say he is not superstitious. Even if he is superstitious, he only believes that as long as he is upright, he will be immune to all evil!

Director Zhou likes dealing with people like Zhou Chenglei, who are straightforward! He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call now. The other party just came this morning, so he probably didn't go out to sea today."

Zhou Chengsen didn't want to buy a boat in the first place, so he thought it would be a good idea to save some money and buy an old boat for Li Xiuxian to use, so he said, "Okay! That's it!"

Li Xiuxian tugged at Zhou Chengsen's clothes. She still wanted to order a new boat.

She doesn't like second-hand things.

Zhou Chengsen looked at Li Xiuxian and said, "Buy a second-hand ship first, and you can go out to sea and make money right away. It will take another year or two to order a new ship. Try our sea transportation. If it's good and you make money, you can order a new one. Others have sold these two ships to buy bigger ones, which proves that these two ships are lucky!"

"Think about it, wasn't our first boat also second-hand? Now Alei and my brother both have new boats! How long has it been? If we can make money as soon as possible, we should make money first!"

It has to be said that Zhou Chengsen understands Li Xiuxian and knows how to convince her.

When Zhou Chengsen said this, Li Xiuxian was moved.

Tian Caihua finally calculated the account and found enough money! She immediately said, "Second brother, you don't want it, my family wants it!"

Just now she was calculating how much money was left in the family, whether it was enough to buy an old boat with three thousand, so she didn't say anything.

After Tian Caihua's retort, Li Xiuxian made up her mind that she couldn't give it to the eldest wife. If she gave it to Tian Caihua, wouldn't her family have three boats? Li Xiuxian immediately said, "Alei, we want it!!"

Zhou Chengsen is right. It will take one or two years to make money from ordering a new ship, but you can make money from an old ship immediately.

Wait until she makes money to buy a new boat, a big boat! Tian Caihua pursed her lips, knowing how to compete with her!

So she is particularly annoyed with Li Xiuxian! Zhou Chenglei: "Okay."

Director Zhou was on the phone with the other party, who had not gone out to sea today. When he heard that someone was buying the boat, he said he would drive the boat to the shipyard immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Director Zhou said, "It will probably be here in about an hour."

Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengsen both nodded.

Zhou Chenglei started talking to Director Zhou: "If there are any other people selling fishing boats, please let me know."

Zhou Changchang asked: "A big ship or a small ship?"

“Both.”

Now that Jiang Xia has a child, Zhou Chenglei no longer plans to go out to sea himself. He is worried about being away from home for too long.

Then buy a few more small boats and fish near the coast. After all, it makes no difference whether you go out to sea with just one boat or with several.

Zhou Changchang laughed when he heard this: "You work so hard? It's true that being a father is different."

Zhou Chenglei said expressionlessly, "There's nothing we can do. The doctor said it might be triplets. If we don't work hard to make money, we might not be able to afford the milk powder."

Jiang Xia: “…”

This person!

Director Zhou was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Xia in disbelief: "Three?"

Jiang Xia: "It's just a possibility, not certain yet."

Director Zhou laughed: "Haha... Old Feng and I don't have to fight over it! We can each adopt one as our grandson! No, I'll adopt two and give one to him, haha..."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

After the Guangzhou Trade Fair ended, Director Zhou and Director Feng happened to be sitting together on the way back. They almost got into a fight in the car over who would be the godgrandfather of Jiang Xia's unborn child.

Director Zhou handed Zhou Chenglei half a snakeskin bag of things and said, "Give it to Xiaoxia. These are some mountain products from my hometown. My parents picked them on the Dxing A Ridge. They were just sent to me. I heard that eating those pine nuts will make children smart. You can tell by how smart I am. Xiaoxia, eat more. My grandchildren will be smart in the future."

Zhou Chenglei took it and thanked him.

Jiang Xia joked, "Then I'll eat more. Grandpa is an expert in shipbuilding. Your grandson may be an expert in building aircraft carriers and rockets in the future!"

Director Zhou laughed loudly: "Haha... He must be better than me! The disciple is better than the master!"

Li Xiuxian took a look at Jiang Xia's belly. Before the baby was born, a factory director was already rushing to be their godfather.

Why do so many people like Jiangxia? The boss of the furniture factory also likes it. Just call Jiangxia and it will be much cheaper.

And I don’t know who that Old Feng is.

Is it because Jiang Xia knows foreign languages? So it is really important for Zhou Ying to learn English well from an early age.

Look how popular it is.

Director Zhou talked about the welfare housing again: "Your house can be taken over by the end of December. Now I understand why you wanted to buy two houses! Now it seems that one house is really not enough!"

Zhou Chenglei: "It's not enough. If someone sells the house in the future, please tell me."

"OK."

Li Xiuxian looked at Zhou Chenglei in surprise. Did they buy a house in the city? Tian Caihua asked Jiang Xia directly: "Xiao Xia, did you buy a house in the city? The welfare house in the shipyard?"

Jiang Xia nodded: "Yes, I work as a translator for the shipyard, so I am considered a half-employee of the shipyard. I heard there were welfare houses, so I took one."

Tian Caihua reminded herself not to be jealous, as long as she went out to sea with Jiang Xia every day, her family would be able to buy a house in the city soon!

Li Xiuxian: “…”

"Xiao Xia, what else did you buy that we don't know about?"
