As they walked out of the shipyard, Ah-Can asked, "Are you coming again tomorrow?"
"We'll see. If my brother comes back, we'll come back and discuss the price again."
"I'm thinking, should we go to the shipyard in the city to check it out? Although Director Li's words are full of promises, we shouldn't just listen to him. It's always good to compare prices from different suppliers."
Feng Ye pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. Let's go take a look. There's no rush to place an order in a day or two."
Buying a boat is a big deal, especially since it involves such a large sum of money, so it definitely needs to be considered carefully.
Moreover, you shouldn't just listen to one person's opinion; visiting several places and learning more about the situation is always a good idea.
After all, once an order for a ship is placed, it can be a matter of several years or even a decade, so it cannot be taken lightly.
"That's what I think too. Let's not rush to conclusions. It's always good to look around and see more."
"I just don't know where the shipyard in the city is located. I don't know where to find it in a short time."
"Brother Ye, why are you being so foolish? Can't you ask someone for directions when we get to the city?"
Feng Ye laughed and slapped his forehead: "That's right, we can ask someone for directions when the time comes, we'll definitely find it."
To cover up their previous lie, the two went to a store and bought two alarm clocks.
When they returned to the ship, Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing were already impatient.
It just took them way too long, more than an hour.
The two casually made up an excuse to brush it off, and set sail to catch sea urchins.
As the saying goes, there's no such thing as a secret that doesn't leak.
The house is drafty.
When they returned in the afternoon, Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing learned about their boat purchase and that they had gone to the shipyard that morning.
However, the expected nagging did not occur; they were only given a few words of reproach and told to work hard and not to slack off.
What else could Feng Ye and A-Can do but pat their chests and guarantee it?
Actually, you'll understand once you think about it.
Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing had been working on the Harvest Ship for over a month and were very clear about its harvest.
Since it's so profitable, what reason could they possibly have to object?
...
The next day, Feng Ye and A Can did not go to the county to deliver the dried fish.
Since the Harvest still hadn't returned, they sailed the Rising Sun to the city to see what other shipyards were offering quotes.
The two had no idea where the shipyard in the city was, so they had to ask passersby for directions.
However, to their dismay, the result was completely the opposite of what they expected.
Some people said it was in the south and even enthusiastically told them how to get there;
Some people say it's in the north, and they even have specific routes.
This left them both amused and exasperated; they never expected to encounter such a situation just from asking for directions.
Ah-Can scratched his head and said helplessly, "Why are the people in this city so unreliable when giving directions?"
Feng Ye smiled wryly and shook his head: "Forget it, let's not count on strangers. Let's find it ourselves. Let's go south first, and if we don't find it there, we'll go north."
"That's the only way."
Following the directions given by passersby, they actually found a shipyard.
However, after staying inside for more than an hour, their initial expectations were completely dashed.
Director Li was right.
Using the same materials and configuration, this shipyard quoted a much higher price, reaching as much as 300,000.
Moreover, the delivery time will be even longer, at the earliest by the end of the year after next.
In comparison, the only advantage this shipyard has is its design capabilities.
The fishing boats they are building are more aesthetically pleasing and modern in appearance, with smooth lines, giving them a high-tech feel.
But what good is looking good?
That would cost more than 30,000 yuan more. Wouldn't it be better to save the money?
The Rising Sun only cost 20,000 yuan to buy, enough to buy another ship and a half.
Having learned enough, the two turned and left.
Ah-Can sighed and said, "Brother Ye, should we go check out that other place up north?"
While they were at the shipyard, they already knew that there were two shipyards in the city, one in the south and one in the north.
The shipyard to the south is state-owned, while the one to the north is privately owned.
"Since we're already here, we might as well go and take a look. It'll just be a waste of a little time."
Feng Ye had already given up hope, but he still decided to go and see.
"That's true, seeing this will give me a break from this idea."
The two followed another route provided by a passerby and headed to the shipyard to the north.
As expected, I was disappointed.
The price quoted by this private shipyard was lower than that of the state-owned shipyard to the south, but still not as high as that of the one in the county.
The production cycle is shorter, and they say they can guarantee delivery by the end of next year.
Feng Ye and A-Can looked at each other, feeling a sense of helplessness.
The shipyards in this city are really ruthless with their prices.
Finding a shipyard that offers a lower price than the one in the county is not an easy task.
"Brother Ye, it seems we still have to go back to that shipyard in the county."
Ah-Can gave a wry smile. "Although I don't know how much of what Director Li said was exaggerated, at least the price is fair."
Feng Ye nodded and sighed, "Yes, these days it's really not easy to save money."
After discussing it for a while, the two decided to go back to the county and talk to Director Li about the price again.
After all, Director Li made a promise that wasn't really a promise, saying he would give preferential treatment.
I don't know how much of a discount there will be, but at least it's something to look forward to.
Since it's on the way anyway, and the return trip to Baishi Island involves passing through the sea area outside the county town, it's a good opportunity to make a trip there.
And it's still early, just past noon.
If something can be resolved today, let's not put it off until tomorrow.
Around 2 PM, the Xuri ship sailed directly to the dock of the county shipyard.
In fact, every shipyard has its own dock.
Otherwise, how can we launch the ship once it's built?
After being launched, it cannot be delivered immediately; it must undergo multiple sea trials.
Before delivery, they are all docked at the shipyard's own pier.
Feng Ye found out the location of the dock the day before yesterday.
Yesterday, we didn't bring the boat over because we wanted to keep it from Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing.
Today, of course, we drove straight here.
Do we have to stop at the fishing pier and then walk over?
