Nie Shiqian sighed: "He was out at sea with his friends that day when they encountered a storm and he was accidentally thrown into the sea."
By the time they realized what had happened, the person was already gone. They searched for a long time but couldn't find them, and they thought all hope was lost, but then you rescued them.
At this point, his tone was full of relief and gratitude.
“There was a typhoon at sea that day, and the sea was indeed rough. That’s why we turned back. On the way, we found someone floating on the sea.”
Feng Ye smiled sheepishly and continued, "To be honest, we all thought it was a corpse at the time. Only when we pulled it out did we realize that the person was wearing a life jacket and still had a pulse, so we quickly started CPR."
"Yes, thank goodness he wore a life jacket. When we went out, I repeatedly reminded him to remember to wear a life jacket. If he hadn't listened to me, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"Going out to sea is risky, and safety measures must be in place. Even we fishermen often lose our lives."
Upon hearing this, Nie Shiqian nodded in deep agreement: "That's right, the sea is merciless, and we must always be careful."
He sighed and continued, "Actually, it's also my fault. I agreed to let him go out to sea to play, and he almost lost his life."
Feng Ye comforted him, "No one could have predicted this, so don't blame yourself too much. He's alright now, and that's the best outcome."
"Yes, I never expected to encounter something like this. Luckily, you guys came and rescued him. Thank you so much."
Nie Shiqian remarked, expressing his gratitude once again.
Feng Ye smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. Your son was just lucky that we happened to run into him. If we hadn't seen him, there would have been nothing we could do."
At this moment, Fang Yi, who had been drinking tea without saying a word, suddenly spoke up: "Can you two stop being so polite?"
"Old Nie, get to the point, the boat captain is still waiting on the boat."
Feng Ye was taken aback for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"
Fang Yi smiled and said, "You think you're so bored that you came all this way with him? If it's really just to give him this little thank-you gift, I'll accept it on your behalf."
Nie Shiqian gave an apologetic smile: "Yes, yes, I almost forgot about that."
He turned to look at Feng Ye, his expression becoming serious: "Mr. Feng, actually, I have another gift to give you this time..."
"Huh? There's more?"
Feng Ye quickly waved his hand, "No..."
"Mr. Feng, please let me finish."
Nie Shiqian interrupted him: "To be precise, this thank-you gift is not a gift to you, but a sale to you."
"Sell it to me?"
Feng Ye was even more puzzled.
Yes, I'll sell it to you.
Nie Shiqian said earnestly, "You are a fisherman, so you must need a fishing boat, right?"
"Of course, fishing boats are the lifeblood of fishermen."
Feng Ye couldn't help but feel curious.
Does that mean Nie Shiqian has fishing boats to sell to him?
If that's the case, that would be wonderful; the rescue would have been so worthwhile.
He looked at the other person with suspicion, waiting for them to continue.
"I work at a bank, and I have a little power; I'm in charge of loans..."
Feng Ye was completely confused, not understanding why he was being told all this.
Does that mean I should take out a loan to buy a fishing boat?
That's good news, too.
He really doesn't have the resources for that.
Although it could be done through Qin Aijun or Hao Aiguo, he didn't want to owe them a favor.
Especially favors from important figures like these are not so easy to repay.
Nie Shiqian continued with a smile, "It's quite a coincidence. A while ago, a ship was taken back by the bank because the original owner was unable to repay the loan."
We haven't found a buyer yet. If you're interested, I can help you with the purchase procedures.
"I'm interested, of course I'm interested."
Feng Ye's eyes lit up, and he responded eagerly.
Damn, they really did sell me a boat.
This is like a windfall.
However, he quickly calmed down and cautiously asked, "Mr. Nie, how big is the ship? What's its condition? And what about the price?"
Nie Shiqian smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the 36-meter trawler was just launched two years ago, and the condition of the boat is absolutely fine."
As for the price, the assessment result is 210,000.
However, considering that you saved my son's life, I can make the decision to give you a discount, only 180,000.
This price is already very reasonable.
Feng Ye was overjoyed and quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you so much! If we can really buy it, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
This price is not just affordable, it's an absolute steal!
The Dong Sheng is only 30 meters long, yet it cost 160,000 yuan. It was only because it came out of court that it became so cheap.
Now this one is 6 meters long, but only 20,000 yuan more expensive, making a huge profit!
Moreover, it was only launched two years ago, so even if it wasn't well maintained, its condition couldn't be that bad.
"No need for thanks. You saved my son, and I have no way to repay this kindness. It is only what I should do to help you in this small way."
Since it was all at someone else's expense, Nie Shiqian spoke without any pressure.
If he weren't worried about the difficulty of operating at such a low price, he would have liked to lower the price even further.
Feng Ye didn't stand on ceremony and immediately made the decision: "Okay, it's settled then, I'll take this ship."
He paused for a moment, then asked with some concern, "Will there be any problems with the paperwork?"
Although I don't think Nie Shiqian would betray his son's savior, it's still better to find out the truth.
After all, this is a mortgaged ship, and it hasn't been auctioned off by the court.
Nie Shiqian confidently replied, "Don't worry, all the procedures are legal and compliant, there are no problems at all."
"That puts my mind at ease."
Feng Ye's doubts vanished instantly.
"Then when do you have time to go to Xiamen Island to see the boat and get the formalities done?"
"How about tomorrow? I need to discuss it with my partner."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the bank tomorrow."
Nie Shiqian took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "It has the bank's address and my contact information on it."
Feng Ye took the business card, glanced at it casually, and was surprised.
Contrary to his own claim of having only a little power, Nie Shiqian wielded considerable power, holding the position of vice president of the bank.
No wonder they can offer such a big discount so easily; it turns out they really have the capability.
He put away the business card, smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go there first thing tomorrow morning."
"If you have financial difficulties, you can also take out a loan. Just re-mortgage the ship to our bank, and I can help you get a very low interest rate."
"I'll consider it, but I'm currently financially secure and shouldn't need a loan."
"Okay, then I won't bother you any longer. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow……"
