The shipyard director then called the finance department to the office to handle the formalities. The ship had been inspected and everyone was satisfied.
The information at this time is very solid. As long as there is no tsunami or huge waves, nothing will happen. Of course, there must not be any large schools of fish, as they are capable of capsizing fishing boats.
The net-lift machine and some fishing gear have been selected and are being configured. The bill is settled and the payment is 246,000 yuan in total (one net-lift machine on each side, a total of 10,000 yuan). The boat can be towed into the sea in the afternoon.
We paid and had lunch in the shipyard cafeteria. After dinner, we went to see the ship. The workers had already installed the net-lifting machine and were going to teach everyone how to use it.
The large ship is 25 meters long, with a more spacious cab and a small compartment outside for rest, equipped with sofa seats and other facilities.
There is a live water tank in the middle position, which can hold 30,000 kilograms of fish. The empty space on the deck can also be used to stack fish, with a carrying capacity of 10,000 kilograms. It has a dual-power engine, great endurance, but also high fuel consumption.
It costs 100 yuan to fill up the gas once. There are oil barrels on the boat, and you can also fill up the gas yourself. It is best to have some oil on hand just in case.
All kinds of fishing nets and fishing gear have been moved onto the boat and explained to everyone. Now we need to tow the boat into the sea, and some driving and control issues will also be explained to everyone.
There was a passage in the shipyard, and a boat-pulling locomotive towed the boat to the beach and then towed it into the sea. Everyone boarded the boat using the boat's built-in ladder.
The boat is tall and you feel safer standing on it. I heard that only one person in the two towns bought this boat, and the others were shipping companies. In total, there are only a dozen large boats going out to sea to fish.
Lin Rou also learned about a large purchasing point located between the two towns. It was a state-owned unit and the prices were relatively cheap, so Xu Yang and his friends did not sell fish there.
But now that Lin Rou has bought a big boat, she will definitely catch a lot of fish, so she has to consider selling them in several places.
Everyone was listening to the explanation in the cab. It was similar to driving a small boat, except with a few more skills. Lin Rou and Xu Yang learned it quickly and drove the big boat back home.
Gu Hongxuan, the old man, Lu Xiaoman, and the others were still looking around on the boat. It was so spacious. The previous boat was too crowded.
When they arrived at the shore of Donglai Town, the atmosphere was bustling again. This was the first 25-meter-long ship in Donglai Town. Everyone came to see the ship. Chen Guoliang and his family also came to see it, and they were planning to buy some seafood from Lin Rou.
Lin Rou took the opportunity to talk about selling the boat. She had owned it for almost four years and wanted to sell it for 30,000 yuan. Everyone said it was too expensive, but some people were eager to buy it and made an offer.
"25,000, I'll buy it!"
This is a middle-aged man who wants to buy it for his son.
It was only more than 30,000 yuan at the beginning, and now the price has increased to more than 50,000 yuan. It has been almost four years, and this price is suitable.
Lin Rou said, "If you pay 28,000, I'll sell it to you." Boats these days are durable and will last for at least ten years, so the price is reasonable.
"28,000 is too expensive. The most I can offer you is 26,000. If you don't want to sell it, forget it."
"27,000. I won't sell it for a penny less."
Lin Rou didn't like this kind of bargaining, but this price was very good.
The middle-aged man looked at the boat again and finally gritted his teeth and bought it. The price was a little expensive, but the boat was well maintained. He could only work hard to go out to sea more often to earn back the money.
Xu Yang borrowed money from others to transfer ownership, and Gu Hongxuan provided protection. In the past two years, there have been many vagrants, and robbery has become more likely to happen.
Lin Rou and Lu Xiaoman went to her mother-in-law's house. Her mother-in-law had just finished get off work and was cooking. She would bring food to Jiang Mingxue later.
Lin Rou helped and cooked some seafood, then had dinner at her mother-in-law's house. Then they went home and talked about buying a boat and showing her mother-in-law the boat later.
Xu Yang came back with the money and the meal was ready. Everyone ate together. After the meal, Xu Yang went back to the hospital. He would not go out to sea tomorrow but the day after tomorrow. He had to take care of Jiang Mingxue, whom he had not seen for a day.
Jiang Mingxue is much better now. The bruises on her face have disappeared and she looks even more beautiful.
"Mingxue..."
Xu Yang opened the door and walked over happily: "Are you hungry? I brought you some food cooked by Aunt Yang and my sister, and there's also abalone."
"I'm a little hungry."
Jiang Mingxue was also happy to see him: "Have you bought your boat?"
"I bought it. It's a big boat. It can carry 10,000 kilograms of fish at a time. It cost 246,000 yuan."
"That's great."
I didn't expect they could really afford to buy such a large ship. Did I find a treasure? Jiang Mingxue was a little excited.
As Xu Yang set the food on the table, he said, "I'll take two-tenths of the profits from the big boat. If I sell the small boat tomorrow, I'll still get 27,000 yuan. I'll have no problem supporting you. You can earn as much as you want."
