By the end of the day, everyone looked a bit tired.
Back on the ship, Ah-Can rubbed his temples: "I'm exhausted after visiting so many shipyards."
"Yes, running around like that is really tiring."
Feng Ye couldn't help but sigh as well.
Feng Xuan also said, "Yes, we finally managed to ask around at all the shipyards in the city and have a basic understanding of them, so it was a worthwhile trip."
"Now that everyone understands the situation, let's hear your opinions."
As soon as Feng Ye finished speaking, Xiao Guowen couldn't wait to say, "I think we should prioritize delivery time, and then price."
After all, the main task of fishing boats is to catch fish.
"If it can be delivered sooner, spending a little more money is worthwhile."
Feng Ye said, "Didn't we say that the decision about the fishing boats was left to you and your father? There's no need to ask us."
Ah-Can shrugged: "Yeah, you and Uncle Jun can decide, we have no objections."
Xiao Guowen scratched his head: "That's true, but since you've invested, I think I still need to talk to you about it."
"Okay, then tell me your thoughts."
Feng Ye smiled and gestured for him to continue.
Xiao Guowen pondered for a moment: "I currently prefer to go to that private shipyard in the city."
Although the price is not competitive, the service is good and the delivery time is short.
Of course, the final decision will have to wait until we get back and see what the results are after my dad went to the county office.
Xiao Zhaojun went to the county today, along with Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing, who were delivering goods.
Feng Ye nodded: "Okay, once you get back and have a result, let us know so we can give you the difference in the deposit."
If you place an order with a private shipyard and the cost is 300,000, then you will need to pay a deposit of 90,000.
Of the money earned from this voyage, only a few dollars can be used to pay the deposit, and that's still a few dollars.
Since Feng Ye owns 30% of the shares, he needs to come up with another sum of money to make up the deposit.
Ah-chan and Feng-xuan each hold only 5% of the shares, so they only need to contribute an additional 2200 yuan.
The rest was all borne by Xiao Guowen and his two sons.
After all, the bulk of the profits from the fishing boats belong to them.
"Okay, I'll discuss it with my dad as soon as possible and then let you know."
Xiao Guowen then asked, "Where are you planning to book your seafood collection boat?"
Feng Ye didn't answer immediately, but looked at Feng Xuan and A-Can: "Brother, A-Can, tell me your thoughts first."
Feng Xuan stroked his chin: "I prefer to order from the shipyard in the county."
Although the delivery time may be a little later, the price is indeed much cheaper.
Moreover, we are quite familiar with the shipyards in the county, making communication easier.
"I also agree with ordering it in the county."
Ah-Can nodded, "The prices at the shipyard in the city are really too expensive, they really shocked me."
"400,000! How long will it take to earn that back!"
Feng Ye smiled and said, "I think the same way you do; I also think the shipyard in the county is more suitable."
The price is significantly cheaper, and although the delivery time is a bit later, it's still acceptable.
"If the delivery date is delayed by six months, won't your fresh produce collection boat be delayed by six months before you can start making money?"
Xiao Guowen couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't you worried about the losses we've suffered in the past six months?"
Feng Ye shook his head: "So what if it's late? What's there to worry about?"
Besides, if the cargo ship is acquired early, it can only connect with the Dong Sheng and Feng Shou ships, and won't make much money.
"Brother Ye, have you forgotten about the Purple Aura? Didn't Factory Manager Li say it could be delivered before the end of the year?"
Ah-chan reminded him.
"Oh, right, and the Purple Aura ship too."
Feng Ye slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot about that."
However, three boats weren't enough to fill the fish hold of the fresh catch ship; at least two more boats would be needed.
"That's still making money!"
Xiao Guowen couldn't help but retort, "Besides, you can find other fishing boats and collect their cargo. It doesn't have to be our own boat."
We'll see.
Feng Ye smiled and didn't continue: "Alright, we should go back. It's already past six o'clock, and it'll probably be dark by the time we get back."
"Yes, we need to hurry back, I'm starving."
Ah-Can stretched and said, "I'll go start the boat."
With that, he ran to the wheelhouse and started the boat.
The Dong Sheng ship cut through the waves, and the afterglow of the setting sun cast a golden glow on the sea.
Standing at the bow of the ship, facing the sea breeze and feeling the breath of the ocean, Feng Ye couldn't help but feel refreshed and invigorated.
"Are you really going to order a fresh seafood boat from the county shipyard?"
Xiao Guowen couldn't resist asking another question out of curiosity.
Feng Ye turned to look at him and smiled: "Well, at present, the county shipyard is the most suitable choice."
"But if the delivery is late, it will affect your profits."
Xiao Guowen still didn't quite understand. "I think it's better to order from a private shipyard. It's only 20,000 yuan more expensive, but the ship can be delivered six months earlier, so it's quite cost-effective."
Hearing him say that, Feng Ye began to waver.
Thinking about it carefully, that's really the case.
The sooner we get the fish-collecting boat, the sooner we can start operating it and making money.
The money I've earned in the past six months is far more than 20,000 yuan.
Finding other fishing boats to connect with is not an easy task.
Fishing boats operating at sea generally sell their catch to designated cargo ships and rarely seek cooperation with unfamiliar cargo ships.
The main concern is being scammed.
Unless it's a new ship that has just set sail and didn't go out with someone you know.
Another point is that the sea area where they operate has changed.
Only in these two situations is it possible to find an unfamiliar fresh food collection vessel.
Just like the Dong Sheng's first solo voyage, it could only call for the fresh produce collection ship through public channels.
Later, when they went out together with the Harvest, the task of contacting the fresh seafood collection ships was entirely handed over to the Harvest, and they no longer had to worry about it.
Just thinking about it gives him a headache.
Feng Ye rubbed his temples and sighed, "What you said makes sense. I'll think about it some more."
"20,000 yuan is not a small amount."
Feng Xuan, however, said, "I still think we should choose the county shipyard."
It's familiar and close to home.
When we go out to sea and return to the county to sell our goods, it's also convenient for us to occasionally check on the progress.
Besides, if we get them too early, we'll have to go through the trouble of finding other fishing boats..."
"I know what you mean, but there are also advantages to delivering earlier."
Feng Ye interrupted Feng Xuan and said after a moment's thought, "How about this, let's think about it carefully tonight and decide tomorrow."
To his surprise, a delightful surprise awaited him at home.
This also relieved him of the worry about where to book a fresh seafood boat.
