Upon hearing this, Xiao Guowen's face immediately lit up with a smile: "I knew you were a true brother, loyal and righteous."
Feng Ye smiled and said, "Buying a boat is a serious matter. Aren't we brothers? It's only right that we help each other out when there are difficulties."
"Thank you for your kindness, A-Ye." Xiao Guowen stared intently at Feng Ye. "However, my father and I came here today not to borrow money from you, but to find you as a business partner."
"partnership?"
Feng Ye frowned; this was unexpected.
“Yes, a partnership,” Xiao Guowen said confidently.
Xiao Zhaojun continued, "The boss was in a hurry to sell, so the price was much lower than the market price. I took a fancy to a 36.8-meter boat, but I can't handle it all by myself, so I'm looking for a partner."
Feng Ye became interested: "How much?"
Xiao Guowen first held up a ten, then stretched out an open hand: "Fifteen thousand."
"I've already inspected the ship. Apart from being a bit old, everything else is fine. The engine is also working well and it can be put into use immediately."
Xiao Zhaojun added, "If this boat were priced normally, it would sell for at least 200,000 yuan. Getting it for 150,000 yuan is definitely a good deal."
Seeing that Feng Ye remained silent, Xiao Guowen advised, "Ah Ye, I think this boat is worth buying. If we had enough money, my father would have paid for it directly."
Feng Ye pondered for a moment, then asked, "So how do you plan to partner up?"
He had already been tempted for a while.
Compared to a 36.8-meter-long ship, the price of 150,000 is incredibly cheap; it's like getting a steal.
It's a pity he didn't have that much money, otherwise he would have wanted to get one made separately.
"Divide it into ten shares, each worth 15,000. I want six shares first. As for the remaining four shares, you can decide how many you want. If you don't want that many, I'll find someone else."
Without a second thought, Xiao Zhaojun directly presented the plan he had already prepared.
"Ah Ye, what do you think?"
Seeing that Feng Ye did not answer immediately, Xiao Guowen asked somewhat nervously.
"The plan is fine," Feng Ye smiled. "However, we need to clarify first: who will operate the ship after it's bought?"
Xiao Guowen said, "My father will be running it for now. Once A-Wu and I are more familiar with it, we will gradually take over."
Do I need to board the boat for help?
This is the question Feng Ye really wants to ask, and it will determine whether he invests, and how much he invests.
"Whatever you want, after all, you still have a boat. Of course, it would be best if you could come aboard and help."
"I'll just stay on the boat and help out. As you said, Brother Wen, I have another boat."
He only holds a maximum of 40% of the shares, less than half. If he gets on board, wouldn't he be doing all the work for someone else?
No matter how good the relationship is, he would never do it.
"So you're agreeing?"
Xiao Guowen was overjoyed.
"Yes, I agree to the partnership. However, I need to consider the specific shareholding details and can give you an answer tomorrow."
“That’s no problem. After all, it involves tens of thousands of yuan, so we should be careful,” Xiao Zhaojun said with a smile. “Then Awen and I will come over again tomorrow night.”
"Have dinner before you leave..."
"No need, the food at home should be ready by now, I'll just eat when I get back..."
"Brother Wen..."
"Don't try to persuade me. Normally, I wouldn't leave even if you chased me away, but your house has so many workers every day..."
"..."
Having said that, Feng Ye had no choice but to stop trying to persuade him to stay.
