They said it was to handle the formalities, but in reality, they were urging Fu Wan to come and pay the final payment.
After all, it's over 100,000 yuan, such a large sum of money, which is basically the entire shipyard's wages for almost a year.
But Fu Wan didn't think that much about it, and she immediately agreed.
"Okay, I'll see if I have time to go there this afternoon."
"Okay, then I will inform Director Li and the colleagues in the finance department."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Wan's stomach started growling loudly with hunger.
She put down the money for the phone call, then said goodbye to the old village chief and hurried home.
When she was almost home, she ran into Fu Ming and Bai Qianzhou who were looking for her.
"Wan, why did it take so long? Who called?"
When Fu Ming asked with concern, Fu Wan told him that she had ordered a large ship and that it had already been built. She didn't go into details about the trade fair, but only mentioned that she had asked Zhang Xiaoqing and Fu Jian to handle the export rights.
Fu Ming and Bai Qianzhou got the gist of it. After Fu Ming understood what the exit was, he became very excited.
Making money off foreigners!
We have to make a killing off him!
"Ah Wan, can we sell it to them at several times the price?"
Fu Ming asked excitedly, "Those foreign devils came to China to invade various places during the late Qing Dynasty. They stole so many treasures back then. I wouldn't feel comfortable if I didn't rip them off a bit."
Fu Wan shook her head speechlessly, "Do you think those foreigners are stupid? Prices can't be raised too ridiculously."
She looked at Bai Qianzhou; this comrade had lived abroad and should know the prices of these food items better.
"Bai Qianzhou, do you have any suggestions regarding this pricing?"
Bai Qianzhou thought for a moment and said, "Foreigners' tastes are quite different from those of Chinese people. Their food tends to be simple and light."
"If you set a price, you have to take into account the relevant taxes and fees. The export tax rate is not low, and the cost of meat products should also be quite high."
Even if it doesn't increase dozens of times, it should at least increase by about five times.
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan immediately understood.
As they spoke, they arrived at their doorstep.
The food at home had been on the table for a long time, just waiting for Fu Wan to come home and start eating!
Bai Qianzhou's vacation was limited; he had to return to the camp after lunch.
Qin Anning originally had two more days off, but a young comrade just came to the camp and informed her that she had to go back tonight because there was a new task for the research project.
Fu Wan listened with great regret. Her boat would arrive by tonight at the latest, and she had hoped to show them her new boat!
But the ship won't move, so it's the same whether you look at it early or late.
Because Qin Anning's vacation ended early, Fu Ming didn't enjoy his meal very much. Besides taking Qin Anning and Bai Qianzhou back, the comrades from the camp had another mission.
That was to repair the radio station that had returned fully loaded, on the orders of Sun Shao-ping.
After the meal, Fu Ming took the young comrade and Qin Anning and the others to the ship to repair the radio, while Fu Wan called Fang Min to go to the shipyard to pay the remaining balance.
Fu Laoda thought about it and was still worried, so he simply went to the shipyard with Fu Wan.
Upon learning that Fu Wan would be coming over in the afternoon, Li Youchuan waited for her at the security office after lunch.
Actually, we weren't just waiting around. There were quite a few people from the security department, a group of men sitting there smoking and chatting, which was quite interesting.
People say women are gossipy, but men are just as good at it. They can even quickly escalate gossip from local gossip to domestic and international affairs in the shortest amount of time.
Li Youchuan was chatting and waiting in this atmosphere when he heard a noise outside. He looked up and saw a rare jeep. He quickly stubbed out his cigarette and went out to greet it.
"Director Fu, it's been a long time! I've been waiting for you!"
"Haha, Director Li, it's been a long time!"
Fu Wan smiled and extended her hand, which Director Li shook. Afterwards, she greeted Boss Fu, who was standing next to her.
Fu Laoda habitually reached for a cigarette, and not only Director Li, but also the head of the security department next to Director Li did the same.
When the head of the security department saw Li Youchuan take the cigarette and put it in his breast pocket, he also politely took it. He habitually glanced at the brand on the cigarette, and when he saw the words on the filter, the head of the security department couldn't help but be shocked.
Good heavens, it's actually Chinese!
These people are dressed very plainly, yet they're handing out Zhonghua cigarettes!
As the head of the security department, he received a lot of cigarettes from people on a regular basis.
There are good and bad ones, but it's really rare to see a Chinese brand like this.
Having a large front door is already quite remarkable!
The head of the security department couldn't help but look at Fu Wan and her group. He was a shrewd person and knew that Fu Wan was the leader of this group.
Hmm, this person looks familiar, and his surname is Fu... Wait, isn't the manager of the cannery next door also surnamed Fu?!
While the head of the security department was still struggling with his decision, Li Youchuan had already led Fu Wan toward the shipyard's dock.
Before even reaching the dock, Fu Wan could already see many new ships of various sizes moored there.
But the size of these ships doesn't seem to match the large ships I want at all!
Thinking this through, Fu Wan asked the question.
Li Youchuan laughed heartily a few times, then gestured for him to enter in another direction.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, your boat is quite large; there's nowhere for it to dock here. Come with me, I guarantee you'll be in for a big surprise!"
"Really? Director Li, if there's no surprise, I won't pay the balance!"
Fu Wan also joked with him, and Li Youchuan was overjoyed. The group walked along the dock for about ten more minutes, and Fu Wan finally saw the big guy not far away.
"Director Li, is that the ship I booked?"
Fu Wan spoke with a hint of excitement; she couldn't help it, the ship was just too beautiful.
Unlike the ordinary fishing boat we ordered before, this ship was more than ten meters tall and stood at the dock, towering over the shipyard's office building.
This doesn't even include its draft. Fu Wan estimated that the height of the entire ship was at least twenty meters.
No wonder this ship doesn't dock with those small fishing boats; it's moored in the water, and no one would doubt that it's a building.
Fang Min also saw the appearance of the ship clearly, and her pupils dilated in shock. Boss Fu was even more exaggerated, unable to hide his amazement.
He had never seen such a big ship, not even when he was a ghost.
Such a big ship, and it belongs to his daughter!
May Goddess Mazu bless him, and may he, Boss Fu, be able to see such a large ship one day!
"Comrade Fu, let's go up and take a look!"
Li Youchuan pretended to be nonchalant, but in reality, after the ship was transported back from the province, he only glanced at it from afar, and his reaction at the time was no different from that of Boss Fu and the others.
It's fair to say that this was the largest ship he had ever sold since he started working at the shipyard.
Fu Wan stepped onto the deck, took a few steps, and roughly measured the distance. Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong.
"Director Li, are you sure you're not mistaken? This ship doesn't seem to be thirty meters long. To me, it looks at least sixty meters long."
No wonder she thought the ship was ridiculously big; it turned out to be twice the length she had ordered!
