Chapter 701 Tourism and Fishing Dual-Purpose Ship
Upon hearing this, Su Ran noticed a piece of white paper pasted on the wall to the left of where they entered.
The inspection details the sanitation situation.
"Director Fu, your model is quite innovative."
Su Ran quickly took a picture of the inspection report, and then took several photos of the workers at work.
Su Jianshe's camera was also busy; it even filmed a video of the canning process.
The workers were focused on their work. Although some of them saw strangers coming in, they guessed that they were from the newspaper office since Wang Jianmin and Fu Wan were with them.
With cameras rolling, everyone wanted to show their work. Su Ran and the others walked around for a while before Fu Wan led them out of the workshop.
"Director Fu, don't worry, I'll submit the article in the next few days and try to get you an interview about the cannery in the newspaper before the New Year."
"That would be wonderful. It's getting late, let's go, I'll treat you to a meal!"
Fu Wan raised her hand and glanced at the time. It was almost midnight. After she mentioned it, Su Ran and Su Jianshe also felt a little hungry.
Su Ran was not one to be coy, and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Alright, then we'll trouble Director Fu to take us to try some local specialties!"
"It's not exactly unique, but the taste is pretty good."
Fu Wan greeted them twice and led Fang Min, Wang Jianmin, and the others into the jeep. As soon as Su Ran got in, she started making a fuss.
"Wow, Comrade Xiao Fu, your car is so impressive!"
Even their superiors didn't have such a nice car, which made Su Jianshe even more alarmed. As a member of the local television station, they frequently visited various important venues.
He dared to say that there were no more than ten such jeeps in the entire city of Longhai.
Is this young factory manager, Xiao Fu, really just a small cannery manager?
My younger sister told me that this person is probably a fisherman.
It's truly remarkable that someone from a fishing family could have such a fortune.
Fu Wan smiled and changed the subject, "This car is indeed very nice. Hey, Comrade Su, do you have any dietary restrictions?"
"No dietary restrictions? No, my brother can't handle spicy food very well, but I can eat anything."
Su Ran's attention was diverted. Fu Wan nodded and then directed Fang Min in the driver's seat to drive towards Jinlai Restaurant.
The car quickly arrived at the entrance of Jinlai Hotel. As soon as Fu Wan got out of the car, the welcoming staff recognized her.
"Comrade Fu, please come in!"
"Excuse me, could you please find me a quiet private room?"
"Okay, please come in. Our boss instructed us last time that if you come again, you should use his own VIP box."
Fu Wan nodded in agreement. The private room last time was indeed quite nice, spacious and warm.
Su Ran was surprised to find such a high-end seafood restaurant in this small county town, and the food was also very good, not inferior to those restaurants in the city.
After the meal, Fu Wan took Su Ran and Su Jianshe to the bus station.
After watching Su Ran and Su Jianshe leave, she signaled Fang Min to drive back.
"Ah Wan, do we really think we'll see pictures of the cannery in the newspaper later?"
"Yes, we might even see it on TV!"
However, Su Jianshe had just told her before he left that the TV station had limited broadcast time, and he could only try his best to see if he could add the video to the local news program.
After all, if it's advertising, then you have to charge advertising fees.
Fu Wan wasn't unwilling to spend money, but Su Jianshe didn't recommend that she do advertising now. If the news broadcast had a good response, then they could do a special commercial break, which would be even more effective.
After the two returned to the cannery, the workers had finished lunch and started cleaning up the machinery and equipment. Fu Wan asked Wang Jianmin and Fu Jian to distribute the New Year's gifts they had prepared, while she took three New Year's gifts and went out with Fang Min.
These three New Year's gifts are for Li Youchuan, the director of the shipyard next door, Feng Ji, and Zhao Gang.
It was difficult to deliver Li Youchuan's belongings inside, so Fu Wan registered at the entrance and then entered the shipyard empty-handed with Fang Min.
This stunned the security guards at the gate. Why was the director of the cannery next door coming to their factory? But his reason was reasonable: he was looking for Director Li to buy a boat!
The shipyard was much larger than the cannery. Fortunately, it wasn't Fu Wan's first time there, and she found Li Youchuan's office in no time.
"Director Li?"
"Hey, you are... Comrade Xiao Fu?"
Hearing the noise at the door, Li Youchuan put down what he was holding and looked outside.
The result was that it matched Fu Wan's somewhat familiar face.
"Haha, it's me, Director Li. I'm here to do business with you again!"
Li Youchuan was overjoyed upon hearing this. With the New Year approaching, the factory would be distributing bonuses. If he could secure a deal for a new ship, his bonus would surely double.
Fu Wan was genuinely planning to buy a boat, which surprised Fang Min, who was standing next to her, since Fu Wan hadn't mentioned this before she came.
"Director Li, I need to order another large ship suitable for long-distance sea voyages. Could you help me see if you have any suitable ones?"
"Large ships that go out to sea, those prices aren't cheap!"
Upon hearing this, Li Youchuan quickly took a thick booklet from the bookshelf behind him.
He then flipped through a few pages and handed them to Fu Wan to read.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, look, there are several types of boats nowadays: fishing boats for fishing at sea, cruise ships for leisure at sea, and new types of boats that combine both, so that you can both fish and go on a leisure trip."
"Take a look, which one do you want to buy?"
"The third type is one where you can go out to sea for recreation and fishing."
Fu Wan replied without hesitation that her decision to order a new boat today was not a spur-of-the-moment thing, but rather a plan to get a large boat that could not only go out to sea for fishing, but also carry tourists.
If you plan to run a farm stay business, many tourists from inland areas will definitely want to go out to sea. The fishing boats in the village are so small and some are dirty and old, so they may not be able to attract tourists.
Having a big ship would be a different story. You could eat, drink, and relieve yourself all on board. You might even be able to install some entertainment facilities, which would be even more attractive.
Upon hearing this, Li Youchuan gasped inwardly. How much had this Comrade Fu made in just six months?
Could it be that she didn't see the price clearly?
"Comrade Xiao Fu, this kind of ship isn't cheap, and it takes a long time to build because it has many functions, and the materials used on it are also very particular..."
"Director Li, approximately how many meters is this type of boat?"
"At least thirty meters."
Li Youchuan gestured and said, "To be honest, we can only make small parts for this ship. We have to contact the provincial shipyard to make the major parts."
"And the price?"
"About 300,000."
Li Youchuan knew the selling price of the boats by heart, and when Fu Wan asked, he answered without hesitation.
Fu Wan looked at him and smiled, "Director Li, we're old customers, aren't you going to give me a discount?"
“If it weren’t for the fact that we are old neighbors and Comrade Sun, I could have gone directly to the city shipyard or the provincial shipyard. I believe that the speed there would definitely be faster.”
