Chapter 574: Prepare to Buy More Fishing Boats
When Ye Qing pushed the door open and walked out, he saw several men standing next to Old Ye.
Some are tall, some are short, some are middle-aged, and some are young people in their twenties.
They are all thin and have dark complexions, and you can tell at first glance that they are people who make a living at sea.
Some of them look familiar.
They were Lao Ye’s former helpers when he went out to sea. Two of them were from neighboring villages, and the others were from several surrounding islands.
Old Ye greeted, "Ah Qing, did you sleep well?"
Ye Qing nodded.
Even if you didn't sleep well at this time, you have to say that you slept well. You can't say that you didn't sleep well, otherwise it will embarrass Lao Ye on the spot.
Old Ye continued, "I'll bring everyone to say hello to you. We met at the banquet before."
"This is……"
Ye Qing interrupted, looked at the man in the hat, and said, "Old Yuan, am I right?"
Old Yuan nodded: "I am, I am, the young boss has a really good memory."
Ye Qing greeted them one by one.
He took them to the dining table under the litchi tree, asked everyone to sit down, and then pulled Lao Ye aside.
Old Ye's face fell: "Ah Qing, I drank two glasses of wine at the banquet. I haven't drunk in a long time, so I ended up getting a little drunk."
"I said the wrong thing at that time, and as a result, everyone is here today."
"What do you think about this?"
Ye Qing said, "But we just placed an order for our ocean fishing boat. The shipyard still needs to invite external technical experts to evaluate it, and even now, the delivery date hasn't been determined."
"If nothing unexpected happens, it will take at least a year."
"It's not about paying more money. The main reason is that we don't have the corresponding technology, so we are being held back."
When Old Ye heard this, his face became even more depressed, and he said, "How many more people do you need on the boat?"
Ye Qing said, "Brother-in-law can be in charge of the fishing business from now on, and Cai Ya can go and help. The boat is already full with Kangzi, Ah Shi, Ah Biao and his four men."
"If you push more people in, I'd be happy, but they might not be happy."
After all, more people mean more money to be shared.
The current intensity of work on the fishing boats is completely manageable for Kangzai and his team, and there is no need for more people to share the burden.
Old Ye sighed, "Then I'll let them go back to their work first, and call them back when the ocean fishing boat comes down."
Ye Qing nodded and said, "Talk to them nicely."
This was Old Ye's fault. As his son, does he have to clean up the mess for him?
That's not appropriate.
People came happily, but couldn't do anything. Ye Qing felt a headache just thinking about it and didn't know what to say.
Old Ye nodded.
Ye Qing was not idle either, pouring tea for everyone.
He listened to what Lao Ye said to everyone and didn't interrupt. When they found out that it was Lao Ye who made a mistake, everyone was stunned.
But no one got angry.
After all, even though Old Ye asked them to come at the wrong time, he could still drive the ocean fishing boat back home sooner or later, and they would still have to come and help then.
I am really depressed.
But there is no way it can be otherwise.
Old Ye said, "Let's have a drink together tonight, and I'll make amends then."
Old Yuan quickly waved his hand: "Boss, no, no."
"We haven't had any proper jobs in the past six months, just odd jobs."
"I can find this job when I get back."
The others nodded and said, "Yes, Boss, it's nothing."
"Let's just treat it as a trip for fun."
"It's not far anyway."
Seeing everyone saying this, Old Ye felt a little relieved, but also felt even more guilty. He said, "I'll reimburse everyone's expenses when the time comes."
"Stop saying no, that would be a slap in my face."
Ye Qing said, "It's late today."
“The ferry is gone too.”
"I'll arrange for everyone to rest first."
He called Li Guangtian.
Li Guangtian answered the call quickly.
He is responsible for the project of converting old houses in the village into B&Bs, and his salary will increase accordingly.
Li Guangtian arrived quickly and took Lao Yuan and others to settle down.
Wait until the people leave.
Old Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, everyone understands."
Ye Qing nodded.
Judging from this incident, Lao Yuan and his people are all honest and down-to-earth people.
Ye Qing thought for a moment and said, "Old Ye, please contact the shipyard. I want to go and take a look."
Old Ye asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go to the shipyard?"
Ye Qing said, "Since the ocean fishing boat will take a long time to be delivered, I want to see if I can buy a smaller one first."
"Form a coastal fleet."
"It is more convenient to operate if two fishing boats go out to sea together."
Old Ye's eyes lit up and he said, "That's great."
He immediately contacted the shipyard manager.
When the shipyard manager learned about this, he immediately said that he would arrange a special ship to pick us up the next day.
Ye Qing readily agreed.
Old Ye was so happy that he said, "If everything goes well, then Old Yuan and the others won't have to leave."
Ye Qing nodded, hoping everything would go well.
However, it is not necessarily easy to get a fishing boat of more than 20 meters. If the cycle is very long, there will be no point in getting it.
In addition to ordering another boat, he also wanted to visit the shipyard and secure the contract for the ocean fishing boat.
Only with the contract can he get subsidies and apply for bank loans.
Why do you go to the bank for a loan when you have money?
Because he wanted to prepare to build an ocean park, and the construction site of the villa courtyard next door had been busy, and the second cycle of payment had to be paid soon.
He can't spend all the money he has.
Let’s talk about it later.
If there are loan discounts, don’t miss out.
night.
Lao Ye prepared the meal and he was responsible for cooking it.
Kangzi came to keep him company.
After a meal, Lao Yuan and others all fell drunk, and Li Guangtian even arranged for someone to watch them.
This person is drunk and something might happen if no one is watching.
Li Guangtian was very happy about it.
The old things renovation project was contracted by Ye Qing. He could get money from Ye Qing by arranging people to do the work.
Li Guangtian was worried that no tourists would come to Longwei Island.
…
Early the next morning.
The special boat arranged by the shipyard arrived. Ye Qing had breakfast at A Ping Breakfast Shop and boarded the boat with Lao Ye.
Arrived at the shipyard.
Before Old Ye even got out of the car, he pointed at the people at the door and said, "The one wearing glasses is the shipyard manager."
“I don’t know the others.”
Got off the car.
The shipyard manager came over and greeted us warmly, introducing the people next to us. They turned out to be the owner of the shipyard and several university professors.
These university professors are technical aid invited by the shipyard.
The shipyard owner and several professors accompanied him throughout the trip. Why? Because Ye Qing is now the shipyard's largest customer.
Old Ye was quite nervous.
Ye Qing thought it was normal. The order he placed was equivalent to giving the shipyard an opportunity to accumulate experience.
In the future, if there are more orders like this, the shipyard will be confident to take them on.
Everyone took Ye Qing to a special workshop, gave a brief introduction, and said they were still waiting for foreign technicians.
Ye Qing expressed his understanding.
After leaving the workshop, the manager took Ye Qing to the conference room. After evaluation, the delivery time was one and a half years.
This is no longer a matter of working overtime.
Ye Qing signed the contract and paid a down payment of three million.
After putting away the contract, the boss and several professors left.
Ye Qing said, "Manager, I plan to order another one."
The manager's eyes lit up: "How big is it?"
Ye Qing said, "About twenty meters."
The manager said, "That's easy. The shipyard will be able to deliver it within half a year."
Ye Qing shook his head: "It's been a while."
"Can it be earlier?"
"Like, three months."
The manager said, "Three months isn't impossible, but the price will increase by a third. Also, the fishing moratorium will begin in three months."
"Even if we deliver it to you, you won't be able to use it."
Ye Qing was stunned.
He almost forgot about the fishing moratorium. Indeed, the fishing moratorium is from March to June.
When the ship arrives at the Longwei Island Pier, there will also be restrictions.
The manager asked; "This ship..."
Ye Qing said, "Let me think about it."
After having lunch at the shipyard, we took a special boat back to Longwei Island. When we arrived at the dock, it was already evening.
At the dock, many fishing boats are being reinforced.
The wind is blowing.
The ferry hadn't arrived yet, so Lao Yuan and his friends could only stay for another day.
Old Ye kept me company with delicious food and drinks, and was also waiting for news.
Ye Qing was not idle either. He asked people to find out if anyone wanted to buy a fishing boat. Second-hand fishing boats are not only cheap, but can also be used right out of the box.
If no one is selling a second-hand fishing boat, he will place an order with the shipyard and get a new fishing boat as soon as possible.
Lao Yuan and others could only go back to where they came from and wait for the ship to arrive.
