Chapter 216 The Fry Arrives

In the end, Zhou Chengxin ordered a boat that cost more than 8,000 yuan, but after discounts and offers, it only cost 7,000 yuan.

He paid a deposit of three thousand five hundred.

Director Zhou felt that he had been tricked by the couple again. The shipyard had decided to raise prices across the board during the National Day holiday to cope with the Guangzhou Trade Fair.

After all, many technologies of their ships have been improved, especially the Kent ring, welding preheating and anchor technologies have been greatly improved, which are more advanced than foreign technologies, so the price increase is reasonable.

Now the latest pricing for all ships has come out. This wave of price increases is also very large, because many imported equipment are also increasing in price. Western countries are suppressing them. The price of some equipment is increasing every month! So each ship has increased by more than 1,500 yuan.

The boat they ordered would cost more than nine thousand after the price increase, but he actually sold it to the other party for seven thousand.

Director Zhou looked at Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei with a mixture of love and hate! "Get lost if you have nothing else to do! There is only one welfare house left!"

After discussion, the leaders of the shipyard decided to assign a special team to produce the medium-sized fishing boats needed by fishermen to meet their growing demand for boats. Therefore, Zhou Chengxin could receive the boat he ordered after half a year.

Most large export ships also have two dedicated production lines to ensure quality and on-time delivery.

For this purpose, the shipyard has hired a number of new apprentices and technicians, and a group of workers are about to be converted to regular employees. Many people have applied for welfare housing.

Therefore, it is basically impossible for Jiangxia to have two welfare houses as he only has one.

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "One set is fine."

It would be nice to have a set too.

Zhou Chenglei asked Director Zhou if anyone wanted to trade a small boat for a big one or sell the small boat. It didn't need to be a big boat, a small wooden boat with an engine would do.

Most people order ships at the shipyard. If someone orders a large ship, they may want to sell their old small ship. At this time, they may ask the shipyard to spread the news.

Director Zhou was surprised and asked, "You already have a big boat, why did you buy that small wooden boat?"

Zhou Chenglei: "I plan to raise fish in the sea. I will buy a small wooden boat to go out to sea to feed the fish so that I don't have to delay other boats from going out to sea to fish."

Zhou Chenglei was thinking of using his family's current fishing boat to go out to sea for a long time to take care of the fish in the cages, so it was not cost-effective to delay trawling.

After all, if you are lucky, you can earn as much as a small old wreck by hauling a net or two.

After hearing this, Director Zhou said, "You can even raise fish? Is there anything you and your wife can't do? You've made all the money!"

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you and let you know if there's anything wrong. Hurry up and pay the rest of the deposit. Don't buy this or that without paying me the deposit!"

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will deliver it on time! We provided the shipyard with so many technical ideas for free, all of which are profitable ideas. We didn't charge you any money, but Director Zhou, you keep pushing us to pay. Isn't that too unfair?"

Director Zhou: “…”

Forget it, forget it! As long as they deliver on time, he won't rush them, okay? Director Zhou couldn't help but said, "Next time you buy a boat, I'll give you a discount!"

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Okay! Then give me an 80% to 90% discount!"

Director Zhou wanted to slap himself! After the matter was settled, Zhou Chenglei estimated that Zhou's father had sold all the fish, so he said goodbye and left.

Because Zhou Chengxin saved more than a thousand yuan on the boat, he walked so fast that the dust flew everywhere!

Jiang Xia quickly covered his mouth and nose to avoid eating dirt.

Zhou Chenglei saw this and said hurriedly: "Brother, slow down! The dirt is flying!"

Zhou Chengxin smiled and said, "Sorry, I couldn't help it!"

Jiang Xia smiled.

When I returned to the place where the fishing boat had docked, the family boat was indeed waiting there.

The three of them got on the boat, and Zhou Chengxin took the initiative to drive the boat home.

Zhou's father took out the money from selling the fish, a total of 1,286.7 yuan.

Six hundred and forty for each family.

The two brothers each took out one hundred yuan and gave it to Zhou's father and mother.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou didn't want any of it and only took the remainder of eighty-six yuan and seventy cents.

Now their food, clothing, housing and transportation are all taken care of by Zhou Chenglei and his wife, and the two old people rarely have time to spend money.

It's just that sometimes I buy things for my grandchildren, and give them red envelopes during festivals. As Zhou Zhou grows up, he will have more expenses in his studies and life, and it won't be good to let the youngest son pay for it all.

Although Jiang Xia now pays for Zhou Zhou's living expenses and tuition fees, they don't have to pay for anything. In addition, their youngest son and his wife also give them 500 yuan per month for living expenses, which is enough.

The eldest and second sons also give, but not as much as the youngest son.

They are old, and they don’t know how many years they can live. Their funeral arrangements a hundred years from now will require a large sum of money. The two elders don’t want their sons to pay for it. They are even more afraid that the youngest son will have to pay for everything. So they want to save some money for their funeral arrangements, or they don’t have to leave any money.

Raising a child for a hundred years means worrying about him for ninety-nine years. This is truly demonstrated vividly by Zhou's father and mother.

The two old people only thought about having a few children, helping them more and not causing them any trouble. Since the birth of their first child, their lives have revolved around their children. They have never thought about themselves or what their children can give back to them.

***When the ship approached the village dock, Jiang Xia saw a strange large ship at a glance.

Father Zhou asked curiously, "Has anyone in our village bought a big boat?"

Zhou Chenglei: "It shouldn't be. It should be the boat that delivers fish fry to Uncle Qiang."

Zhou Chenglei guessed correctly that it was the fish fry that were delivered to Zhou Bingqiang's family.

Zhou Bingqiang was communicating with the person who delivered the fish fry: "All the cages in my house were blown away. We have no cages left to raise fish. We don't want these fish fry anymore and want to return them."

The fish fry owner waved his hand when he heard this: "Return the goods? Are you kidding? Because you said you would deliver the fish as soon as possible, I delivered the fish to you as soon as I received the call. I didn't expect there would be a typhoon here, so I found a place to stay overnight. The wind and waves hadn't stopped yet, but I braved the strong winds and waves to deliver the fish to you! Now you say you want to return the goods? Are you kidding me? I don't care if your net cages were blown away, I delivered the fish to you, so you have to accept it."

Wen Wan also came back today. She had a dream last night, so she took a leave of absence to come back at noon today.

Wen Wan listened to the other party's words and said in a good-tempered manner: "Comrade, I'm really sorry, our net cages were blown away, and we don't know where to keep these fish! We don't want to be affected by natural disasters. Everyone is helpless when such a thing happens. How about this! We will compensate you twice the gas fee for the round trip, and you can take the fish away. When our net cages are ready, you can send them to us, okay?"

The fish fry boss laughed angrily. Did he owe her twice the fuel fee? He really braved the strong wind and waves to deliver this boatload of fish fry. They arrived on time! Don’t they know how risky it is to sail in the wind and waves?

"Okay, I don't want much. You pay me one thousand yuan and I'll take the fry away. This matter is over!"
