The two brothers were stunned.
They never expected Ah-chan to come up with such a radical idea.
"Holy crap, order two?"
Feng Ye looked A-Can up and down. "I never would have guessed you had such a big appetite!"
Ah-Can scratched his head and chuckled, "One order is an order, two orders are also an order."
Anyway, the delivery date isn't until the end of next year, so we have plenty of time to earn the final payment.
Besides, it's not like we can't afford the deposit.
We haven't touched the money from the first voyage, and we still have over 10,000 yuan left from the last one. With this trip, we now have about 210,000 yuan on hand, which is enough to order two boats.
Upon hearing this, Feng Ye fell into deep thought.
Ah-chan is absolutely right; they really do have that much money.
Not to mention the money left over from the first two voyages, even the family workshop made a considerable amount of money each month.
The profits from dried squid, in particular, accounted for the majority.
Moreover, if you order a ship now, the delivery date will be at least the end of next year, so there is plenty of time.
The key issue is that fishing boats will continue to increase in price; if you wait until next year to order, they will definitely be much more expensive.
He was well aware of this.
It wasn't until around 1995, when the summer fishing moratorium was officially implemented, that things cooled down a bit.
"In that case, let's just order another one."
"ah?"
Now it was A-Can's turn to be stunned.
Feng Xuan was even more dumbfounded, staring at Feng Ye in disbelief: "Order one more? Three boats?"
"That's right, three boats. The bold get rich, the timid starve. If we're going to do it, let's go big."
Feng Ye nodded, his eyes shining with determination.
Ah-Can hesitated for a moment: "But do we have that much money to pay the deposit?"
The deposit for the three ships was 270,000 yuan, a difference of 60,000 yuan.
"It shouldn't be too different."
Feng Ye was actually a little unsure.
Ye Qingling and her team had been managing the workshop, and he hadn't been involved much.
Especially after getting the Dong Sheng, I could only stay at home for a few days a month, so I was even less aware of the specific situation.
"Let's go home first and see how much the workshop has earned in the past month or so."
If the difference is too great, then forget it and just order two.
If the difference isn't too significant, then talk to the shipyard. For a large order of three ships, a smaller deposit should be requested; the shipyard will likely agree.
At this point, Feng Ye paused and looked at A-Can and Feng Xuan: "What do you two think?"
Ah-chan was the first to speak up: "Brother Ye, whatever you say goes, I'll do it."
Feng Xuan didn't want to be so radical.
In his opinion, let alone three, even two seemed a bit risky; it would be best to order only one at first.
The feeling of being burdened with debt is truly unbearable, and the pressure is immense.
If they order three more, it means they will have five ships under construction, with debts reaching millions.
Just thinking about that number made his heart tremble and he felt breathless.
A year ago, he was carrying sacks at the town's dock, earning just five yuan a day.
But a year later, they may very well be burdened with millions in debt.
Even if he only accounts for 25% of it, that's still a full 250,000.
The stark contrast left him somewhat dazed.
If he really does place orders for three more ships, he estimates he won't be able to sleep at night until he earns a million, and he'll even dream about paying back the money, paying back the money, paying back the money...
However, since Feng Ye and A Can had already made their decisions, he couldn't object anymore and had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, since you've all made up your minds, I have no objections."
Feng Ye could roughly guess what he was thinking and could understand it.
After all, I live in a small town and haven't seen much of the world.
Taking on such a huge debt all at once certainly requires a lot of courage.
If he hadn't been reborn, he wouldn't have dared to gamble so recklessly.
Ah-chan, on the other hand, is the kind of person who is carefree and doesn't care at all; even if the sky falls, someone else will hold it up.
In their small group of three, the tallest was naturally Feng Ye.
He was just Feng Ye's tagalong, saying whatever Feng Ye said.
"Brother, you have to trust us, and you have to trust yourself. Three boats are just a little trouble, it's not a big deal. In the future, we will buy more boats and form a fleet to go out to sea."
"I would rather take it slow, that way there will be less pressure, unlike now, when I suddenly feel like I'm carrying a mountain on my back, it's so heavy."
"Once you get the boat and can make money, you naturally won't think that way anymore."
"Exactly, just imagine going out to sea and making hundreds of thousands of dollars, how awesome would that be?"
Ah-Can chuckled, "Then, we'll be truly rich."
Feng Xuan gave a wry smile: "I hope so."
"Alright, since it's been decided, let's do it this way."
Feng Ye waved his hand, "Brother, contact Uncle Jun later and ask if they're going back together. You can also let the boatmen go home."
"Okay, I'll contact them right away."
As Feng Xuan spoke, he picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to contact Xiao Zhaojun.
Feng Ye suddenly remembered something and continued, "Oh right, tell Uncle Jun that we'll book the boat in the city tomorrow and then head out to sea. Tell him to make the necessary arrangements."
"Huh? So soon? Aren't you going to rest for a day or two?"
Feng Xuan was surprised.
Feng Ye countered, "Can you even stay at home?"
This voyage didn't actually last very long; it's only been eight days in total.
Large ships like the Dong Sheng and Feng Shou would take at least a week to go out on a trip.
But they usually stay longer, ten days to half a month before returning.
Unless the weather conditions do not permit it, or there are other special circumstances.
In fact, Feng Ye believes that it is best to go out to sea only once a month.
I go out at the beginning of the month, come back at the end of the month, and then take a few days to rest.
Because of his ability to attract fish, it would be a waste for him to run around, so it's better for him to stay at sea longer.
The boatmen would probably be willing, even though it's hard work, they can earn a good amount of money.
The commission is high!
The reason I left in such a hurry this time was because I hadn't been gone for long, the fish hadn't completely dispersed, and they could gather back soon.
Upon hearing his question, Feng Xuan immediately thought of the debt that was about to reach a million, and her heart tightened.
"I can't stay here, I can't stay here. It's more reliable to go out to sea and make money."
"Okay, you can contact Uncle Jun. I'm going downstairs."
As Feng Ye spoke, he turned and left the driver's seat, with A-Can following closely behind.
On the aft deck, Ye Chenliang and his four companions were chatting idly, while keeping an eye on the sea behind them for any unusual vessels.
Although I was busy until very late last night, I got up late today and still got enough sleep.
Especially when they thought about the commission of seven or eight hundred yuan, plus bonuses, they were all very excited.
Besides, we're driving back now, so we'll have plenty of time to sleep tonight.
