Manager Zhang had a feeling that Zheng Gan in front of him might really buy the boat, so he immediately made up his mind and quoted the lowest price given by the boss.
"Mr. Zheng, 14 million is the lowest price. It will definitely not go down any further. And this is basically the cost price."
After he finished speaking, there was even a pleading look in his eyes.
There is no other way. The shipyard is now on the verge of bankruptcy. If it had these 14 million, it would help alleviate the situation a lot.
"Okay, I know the price. Let's go back and study the price first." Zheng Gan didn't say anything directly on the spot. The price was actually quite appropriate, but it was not just his business now. Zhao Xing and Liu Feng were still watching him eagerly.
Manager Zhang also knew about this, so he led everyone to the lounge in the front hall, served them tea, and then left.
"What do you think, bosses? What do you think of this boat?" Zheng Gan said after picking up the teacup and taking a sip.
"This boat is good. At least it's a new boat. The price was also very good. I can save one million more than expected." Zhao Xing said that he had no problem. He did a lot of homework before coming. A brand new boat of nearly 60 meters would cost 15 million as a fair market price. Now, after some bargaining, he got it for 14 million, which is already very good.
"I think it's okay too. I don't know much about ships, so I still need you to be in charge." Liu Feng had no objection. He had a very accurate positioning of himself. He was willing to help with the money, but he didn't care about anything else and didn't want to care about it.
Zheng Gan nodded. "Okay, then I'll find a professional to take a look at the ship. If there's no problem, we'll sign the contract."
Although this is a new boat, it has been here for nearly two years and needs to be inspected. Otherwise, who will be held responsible if there is a problem after buying it? As for professionals, I can just ask my father-in-law and Wang Yunzhou to come and take a look.
Speaking of Wang Yunzhou, Zheng Gan had previously specifically talked to him about this ocean-going matter and wanted to ask him to go on board with him. Even if he could not be the captain, he could still help out and the salary would definitely be high, but he refused.
The reason was very simple. It took too long to travel across the ocean, often one to two months or even longer, so Wang Yunzhou politely declined.
Not long after the call, two foreign players arrived, boarded the ship as quickly as possible, and began to check every place one by one.
After two full hours, I finally finished inspecting the entire ship.
"Agan, the boat is very good, there is basically no problem, but some parts need a little maintenance." Qiao Zhengdong said as he wrote down all the problems on a piece of paper and handed it over.
Manager Zhang, who had been standing by, took a look and breathed a sigh of relief. The things that needed maintenance were simple and did not cost much, so he said directly,
"Mr. Zheng, these are not a problem. As long as you buy this boat, we will maintain it for free, and we will give you a discount when your boat comes to dry dock (that is, for repairs) in the future."
"At the same time, our chairman said he would be here soon and would like to meet with you."
He had previously reported Zheng Gan's intention to buy a ship to his chairman, and he received great praise. The chairman said he must receive him well and would come over right away.
"Okay, then please prepare the contract first." Zheng Gan planned to make the decision right away. Since there was no problem with the ship and the price was relatively suitable, he decided to hurry up and make the decision.
If you book it early, you can have one less thing to worry about.
Manager Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this, and he felt as if he was about to be elevated. After thanking excitedly, he ran back to the office to prepare the contract, and by the way, he called his chairman to tell him the good news.
The chairman of the shipyard was even more exaggerated. After hearing the news, he directly welded the throttle shut. The journey that originally took half an hour now only took fifteen minutes.
Zheng Gan and his friends were still drinking tea in the lounge when the chairman of the shipyard came in breathlessly, dragging Manager Zhang.
"Chairman, this is General Manager Zheng." Manager Zhang hadn't finished the contract yet, so he came in just to serve as an introduction. After completing his task, the tool went back to work.
"I didn't expect Mr. Zheng to be so young? My last name is Hu, and I'm the chairman of the shipyard." Mr. Hu shook hands with Zheng Gan enthusiastically.
"Mr. Hu, you're too polite." Zheng Gan was a little amused. He was still a little uncomfortable being treated so warmly by a grown man.
"Come on, let's sit down and talk." Mr. Hu said as he personally added tea for everyone with a very humble attitude.
Everyone sighed when they saw this situation.
Mr. Hu was a famous person in Yama County and a legendary figure. He started out as a fisherman and worked hard to establish a shipyard. He eventually became one of the richest men in the world. However, he was unexpectedly cheated by foreigners, which led to his business being unable to recover and the shipyard being half-dead.
Not long after, Manager Zhang came over with the contract. Both parties signed it happily, and then Zheng Gan directly transferred the money they had prepared in advance.
After receiving the money, Mr. Hu smiled widely and sincerely planned to treat everyone to a banquet.
Zheng Gan and the others originally wanted to refuse, but they couldn't resist Mr. Hu's enthusiastic invitation, so they had no choice but to go with him for lunch.
The injection of funds definitely helped the shipyard a lot. The lunch banquet was of very good quality. Not to mention the food, the drinks were all Maotai, which made everyone drunk.
Originally, Zheng Gan and his friends had planned to sit together in the afternoon to discuss the next steps, but they all ended up being extremely drunk.
When he woke up, it was dark again. There was nothing he could do; he had to wait until the next day to do the rest of the things.
The ship has been bought now. We just need to go to the relevant department to register the procedures. As for the subsequent messy matters on the ship side, they will be left to the shipyard to coordinate. This was also agreed in advance.
The company has been established and the ship has been purchased. The last problem is to recruit crew members and a captain.
So when Zheng Gan woke up the next morning, he dragged Zhao Xing and Liu Feng, who were drunk and staying in a village guesthouse, up, and his first stop was to find Jia Gui and the other two.
The crew of an ocean-going fishing vessel needs to meet more requirements than those of an ordinary offshore fishing vessel. In addition to the most basic crew certificate, they also need to participate in corresponding training, etc., and even have certain health requirements.
"We've been working together for such a long time, so I came to you right away. Don't worry about the salary and benefits; it will definitely not be low. Of course, you have to think carefully about it."
