In his introduction, Brother Zhang naturally started by talking about the things the shipyard had sent.
In this regard, we have to mention the scale of their shipbuilding industry. They don't just do shipbuilding; they also do business in some ancillary products.
After all, Hainan Province is a major fishing province, with a large number of fishing boats and a huge market for supporting facilities.
The equipment the other party gave Bai Yu and his team consisted of two 70-meter-long trawl nets, two 30-meter-long trawl nets, and fifty large crab traps.
There may not seem to be many items, but their value is by no means low.
First are two large trawl nets, which are used for fishing in the ocean. Needless to say, the quality requirements for these nets are extremely high.
These kinds of trawl nets are sold by the meter, without exaggeration. And the slightly better quality ones can cost tens of thousands of yuan per meter.
The two large trawl nets that the shipyard gave to Bai Yu were naturally the best trawl nets.
These two large trawl nets alone are worth over a million.
The other two smaller fishing nets are also quite valuable. These two nets are used to catch shrimp, and they are slightly shorter and have much smaller mesh sizes.
However, smaller doesn't mean cheaper; these two trawl nets still cost hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy.
Among the items given away, the cheapest should be the crab traps, but that's because they are cheaper compared to trawls. However, fifty large crab traps together can be worth tens of thousands of yuan, and each one can sell for several hundred yuan.
The shipyard sent these things to Bai Yu because of the record-breaking achievement he made recently.
This not only brings glory to the country, but also brings honor to all the men and women of Haikou Province.
It's important to know that China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation is a state-owned enterprise. Although Bai Yu's victory didn't cause a huge stir domestically, it was a major event for some people, something that could inspire the nation.
It just so happens that the shipyard was going to hold a corporate sports meet a while ago, and there happened to be a few fans of Bai Yu who knew that Bai Yu had ordered fishing boats from his company.
Then these fans reported the issue to higher authorities, wanting to get some preferential treatment for Bai Yu, such as the shipyard giving some concessions or a discount on the boat fare.
Then, let Bai Yu help promote their shipyard; it would be a win-win situation for both sides.
After all, there are other shipyards in Hai Province besides them. Although they are the largest, there is still competition among them.
However, since the contract had already been signed and Bai Yu had paid all the money, the discount was not applied, and the deal turned into a free gift of equipment.
They sent them a total of about two million worth of various equipment, and even filled the ships' fuel tanks with extra fuel.
Bai Yu was quite unceremonious in this situation. He accepted everything the other party gave him, and he even made a special trip to sign up for the sports meet they held.
Moreover, they participated in two events at once, running the 3,000 meters and the 10,000 meters. They stopped running the 5,000 meters because it wasn't even a designated event.
Originally, there wasn't a 10,000-meter course; it was only after Bai Yu mentioned it that the other party added it as a project, and then a lot of people signed up.
Regardless of whether they could actually run 10,000 meters, each of them signed up, determined to have a good competition with Bai Yu.
In the end, more than 100 people signed up for the 3,000-meter event and more than 50 people signed up for the 10,000-meter event.
During the 3,000-meter race, the shipyard's leaders said that Bai Yu only needed to perform normally, and the remaining registered runners who could keep up with Bai Yu's pace and complete the race would each receive a month's salary as a bonus.
The same applies to the 10,000-meter race; any runner who finishes within one minute of Bai Yu crossing the finish line will receive a reward.
You wouldn't believe how lively the shipyard's sports meet was at the end, and Bai Yu had a great time too.
In the end, Bai Yu went a little easy on the contestants, allowing about ten of them to receive rewards. Otherwise, if she hadn't gone easy on them, none of them would have gotten any rewards.
We've digressed; let's get back to the fishing boats.
After introducing the equipment that was given away, Brother Zhang went on to describe the other details on the fishing boat.
For example, the Yuxue fishing boat has a maximum speed of 24 knots, a total cargo capacity of 1,300 tons, and a total range of [missing information - likely nautical miles]. After filling up with fuel, it can travel all the way from China to the west coast of the United States.
In addition, the ship is equipped with the most advanced fish-finding equipment in China, which can locate schools of fish several nautical miles away, with the smallest catch being a school of shrimp.
In addition, the small fish processing plant inside the ship's cabin is a fully mechanized facility that requires very few employees; a group of four is sufficient to complete the work.
This small processing plant can handle a considerable amount of fish per day; with three shifts operating at full capacity, it can process hundreds of tons of fish per day.
Listening to Brother Zhang's introduction, even though this wasn't the first time Bai Yu had heard it, he was still filled with longing for the fishing boat's future operations at sea.
After all, this was his first fishing boat, a powerful tool that could bring him huge profits.
After listening to Brother Zhang's introduction, the next step was to take the fishing boat to the county dock for delivery.
Afterwards, Bai Yu, Grandpa Bai, Uncle, Wang Hai, Li Xue, Bai Yue, Liu Tianyu and others stayed on the boat, while the remaining people got off the boat to drive the car they had brought back.
Then, amidst the sound of firecrackers, my uncle started the Yuxue fishing boat. With the sound of the whistle, the boat sailed out of the shipyard's dock and headed towards the county's wharf.
Several shipyard technicians accompanied them back. If there was anything the uncle didn't understand while the fishing boat was sailing, he could ask the staff at any time.
What puzzled the eldest uncle was some of the advanced equipment from recent years. For things he didn't understand, Liu Tianyu would take notes with his father and write them down.
It only took Bai Yu and his friends a little over an hour to drive from their home to the shipyard, but it took them more than two hours, almost three hours, to get back to the county.
The distance from the sea to the county dock is actually shorter than the land distance, but due to the limited speed of fishing boats, even though the distance is shorter, it takes longer.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the fishing boat Yuxue, adorned with a bright red flower on its hood, sailed into the county's dock and moored at its designated berth.
The dock workers were filled with curiosity about this enormous vessel that had suddenly appeared, especially since it was adorned with a large red flower and clearly a brand-new ship.
After all, such a large ship is a rare sight at the county's docks. There are fewer than ten such ships in the entire dock. Now that another new one has appeared, they are naturally full of curiosity and want to know who the owner of this ship is.
However, when they got closer, all they saw were circles of firecrackers laid out on the ground, and before the people on the fishing boat could even get off, the firecrackers were lit.
Bai Yu and the others watched the firecrackers being lit from the deck of the fishing boat.
This went on for twenty minutes. Then, as the smoke cleared, Bai Yu gave Wang Hai a wink, and the latter understood and went to get the things.
Don't let Wang Hai's seemingly dull and simple-minded demeanor fool you; he can instantly understand the meaning behind Bai Yu's words and even her subtle glances.
Just from the glance Bai Yu gave him, Wang Hai knew that the former wanted him to get something, so he turned around and went to get it without saying a word.
On the other hand, Bai Yu was signing contracts with Brother Zhang on the deck, including various delivery agreements.
Just then, as Bai Yu finished signing the contract, a notification sounded in his mind.
'Ding: A large fishing vessel asset has been detected under the host's name. To show the host's commitment to promoting the glory of the sea, the system needs to be upgraded to better serve the host. This upgrade is expected to take two hours!'
