Not long after, Qiao Xin arrived. Seeing Zheng Gan looking so depressed, she was very curious. He was just drunk. This wasn't the first time.
Lin Hao suppressed his laughter and told what had just happened.
"You, you, you don't even know your last name after a few drinks." Qiao Xin was also very happy. "Hurry up and pack up, go to the dock and pick a boat you like."
When he heard about the boat, Zheng Gan immediately smiled and got up to wash up. It was obvious that he was ready to start eating this bowl of soft rice.
After packing up as quickly as possible, the three of them went to the dock together.
"By the way, brother, let me tell you something. I'll invest 20% of your boat's market value," Lin Hao said suddenly. "Of course, I don't have that much money right now, so I'll just deduct it from my daily income."
Zheng Gan was originally prepared to refuse, but after thinking about it, he agreed. The two of them are not only brothers now, but also partners. It is better to figure out this situation. Besides, with a boat, their income will definitely be more.
"Okay, I'm not sure what the market price is right now. Let's ask someone. Twenty percent will be considered your investment."
"Yeah." Lin Hao smiled very satisfied. He couldn't do it like before, just collecting money without investing, and the profit sharing ratio was high. Now it was the best. Every time money was needed, he had to pay it out, and the profit sharing ratio became 2:8.
"I forgot to tell you, Xiaoyu transferred the money this morning. 407 jin (approximately 100 catties) of large yellow-mouthed spicy snails sold for a total of 34,000 yuan, an average price of almost 85 yuan per jin," Zheng Gan said. "I'm holding off on giving you this money for now. Consider it your investment."
Lin Hao nodded, "Okay, no problem."
He had spent a lot of money on buying a car before, and he didn't have much cash on hand at the moment, only about 100,000 yuan in total. Once the market price came out, he would transfer all the money and only have about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan left in his hand.
Now that we have sorted out this matter, the next step is to choose a boat.
Qiao Zhengdong has three boats, all for trawls, two medium-sized and one large. In the past, Zheng Gan and his team often borrowed the medium-sized boat when they went out.
A medium-sized fishing boat is 25 meters long and has a main engine power of 115 kilowatts. This configuration is considered the mainstream of trawlers here. If it has a license, a second-hand one will cost over one million.
It can also be modified to include equipment such as electric reels and longline fishing.
Although some people always say that fishing with an electric reel is like losing your soul, once you actually catch a few hundred-pound fish, you will know how good it is.
Don't even look at that big fishing boat, it's too expensive. Even if Zheng Gan is a gigolo, he doesn't want to make it look too ugly.
"Either of these two 25-meter ones will do. Sister Xin, you decide. Anyway, either one is fine for Haozi and me." Zheng Gan still handed the decision-making power to his wife.
"Then let's choose the one we took before." Qiao Xin didn't act pretentiously and chose it directly, otherwise both of them would have to dither here.
Zheng Gan nodded. This was also in line with his wishes. After all, he had driven it several times and was relatively familiar with it.
"Sister Xin, that's settled. I'll just have to trouble you to go home and talk to my father-in-law about the rest."
"Don't worry, there are still some messy procedures and so on, just leave them to me." She also knew that Zheng Gan was really embarrassed to go to Qiao Zhengdong to ask for help again, so she took the initiative to take over the matter of handling the procedures.
Originally, Qiao Xin wanted to transfer the boat to Zheng Gan's name, but he refused to agree no matter what. Because here, the dowry of ordinary people is usually a car or a decoration for the new house. The car is usually in the woman's name, and the decoration of the house will also include the woman's name.
The boat has been chosen, and the only thing left is the modification. This boat is capable of trawling, but it has no fishing equipment at all, so it must be modified.
The three of them went to the shipyard again, found the manager, and put forward their needs.
"You mean to install a full set of fishing equipment on the boat?" the shipyard manager confirmed.
"Well, this ship was originally built here, so you should be familiar with it. So adding equipment shouldn't be a problem," Zheng Gan said.
All three of Qiao Zhengdong’s ships are new and were built to order at the shipyard.
"No problem, it's not a difficult thing, it just takes some time." The shipyard manager thought about it and said it was no problem.
"Okay, then you should hurry up and go to the ship to take a look, and then give me a quote." Zheng Gan was a little anxious. The sooner the renovation could be completed, the sooner he could go out to sea to make money.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go over right now. Let's go to the lounge and take a rest first."
The shipyard is currently performing very poorly. I heard that it was cheated by a foreign client before. It built two large ships worth 50 million yuan, but the client unilaterally breached the contract. Now the ships cannot be sold, and there is no cash flow. It is almost unable to pay the employees' salaries.
So as long as there are customers coming to our store, no matter what business they are doing, they will receive very good service.
An hour later, the shipyard manager came over with a quotation. "Mr. Zheng, please take a look. This is the price for the additional equipment you need to install."
Actually, you can buy the electric winch yourself, but Zheng Gan wanted to directly modify a few fishing spots on the boat and didn’t want to bother running back and forth, so he handed over the entire set of equipment to the shipyard for modification.
According to the quotation provided, one fishing spot plus an 800mj electric reel and some miscellaneous items cost a total of 7,000 yuan, four sets in total, that's it, plus some miscellaneous items the total cost is 30,000 yuan.
The price was quite reasonable. Seeing that Zheng Gan was reluctant to confirm, the shipyard manager gritted his teeth and gave him four sets of professional fishing rods, which was a huge expense.
"Okay, let's do it this way." Since the other party was straightforward, Zheng Gan was naturally straightforward as well. However, he felt a little sad that such a large shipyard had fallen to this point. A small business worth 30,000 yuan was actually taken so seriously.
The shipyard manager was overjoyed, kept thanking us, and promised to have the ship repaired within three days.
After the fishing equipment is ready, there is also longline fishing. There are generally two ways to fish: one is fully automatic lowering and collecting the net, and the other is purely manual.
Manual work is really too troublesome. You need to do the whole process yourself, which is tiring and troublesome.
I heard that there is a new type of longline fishing equipment that is fully automatic in tying the line and hanging the bait, which is very convenient. However, it is not sold here yet. Zheng Gan plans to find the manufacturer and buy a set to try.
After everything is ready, you can take the boat out for some fishing.
