"What's wrong? Did you remember something again?"
Seeing her sudden change in expression, Feng Ye couldn't help but ask.
Ye Qingling bit her lip: "You just said you didn't need to ask him for favors, what about that ship?"
"Don't worry unnecessarily."
Feng Ye felt a bit like laughing and crying at the same time.
"I didn't ask him for the boat; he offered it to me. We happened to need it, and the price was right, so we decided to buy it."
They've already said that all procedures are legal and compliant.
Besides, we didn't give them anything in return, so what's there to worry about?
Ye Qingling nodded, feeling slightly relieved, but still a little uneasy: "Are we really going to buy this ship?"
"Of course, such a cheap boat with all the paperwork is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
“180,000 is no small amount. Don’t forget, there are only a few months left until the end of the year, and there is still 400,000 to be earned and handed over to the shipyard.”
"I will never forget that before the end of the year, we can still go out to sea for at least four months. With both boats together, we can earn at least 300,000 yuan. Adding the output of the workshop, it will be no problem to raise 400,000 yuan."
Seeing his confident demeanor, Ye Qingling didn't say anything more, only saying, "As long as you know what you're doing."
"Don't overthink it. Everything is going according to plan. As long as we proceed step by step, we will definitely be able to raise the 400,000 yuan by the end of the year."
"The plan is good, but what if the weather doesn't cooperate and the sea is rough, affecting the fishing? We need to have a backup plan."
Feng Ye pondered for a moment: "Let's take it one step at a time. If all else fails, we can just ask Nie Shiqian for a loan."
He himself is not opposed to loans.
However, it is not so easy for others to accept.
Loans mean debt, and you have to pay interest, which increases psychological pressure.
Sure enough, Ye Qingling frowned upon hearing this: "A loan? That won't do. What if we can't pay it back? And there will be interest too. It's better not to buy it at all."
Just as Feng Ye was about to explain, A-Can's voice came from outside the door: "Brother Ye, sister-in-law, what are you buying? Why do you need a loan?"
He turned his head and saw a group of people, but not the vegetables they had picked. He asked in confusion, "Where are the vegetables?"
Feng Xuan pointed to the sea in the distance: "We sent them to the ship. When we arrived at the dock, we ran into Dad and Uncle Ling coming back, so we just sent them all over to save ourselves the trouble of moving them around."
"What a coincidence! We just happened to run into Father and Uncle Ling when they came back."
Feng Ye smiled and asked again, "They... oh, they're back."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing appeared on the beach.
"Don't interrupt, tell me about the loan."
Ah-Can was extremely curious, his heart was pounding like a cat's claws.
Feng Ye had no choice but to recount the whole story from beginning to end.
After hearing this, Ah-Can's eyes widened, and he said impatiently, "Buy it! Of course we have to buy it! Even if we have to take out a loan, we have to get this boat for such a cheap price."
Feng Xuan chimed in, "A new ship costs over 300,000, while this ship costs only 180,000, which is more than 100,000 cheaper. It would be such a pity to miss such an opportunity."
"That's what I think too."
Feng Ye nodded, then looked at Ye Qingling, "You heard it too, everyone thinks we should buy it."
Feeling uncomfortable under the gaze of so many people, Ye Qingling stammered, "I'll buy it then. I'm just worried about whether I can pay the final payment for the two ships on time at the end of the year."
Ah Can chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. With my brother Ye's abilities, that little bit of money is nothing. There won't be any problem."
Feng Ye glared at him: "Speak properly, don't start a commotion."
"Okay, okay."
Ah-Can's expression turned serious. "I think we can talk about the future later. The most important thing right now is to seize this opportunity and buy the boat back."
“Ah Chan is right.”
Feng Xuan echoed, then added, "We should have this much money now, right?"
Ah-Can spread his hands: "One of you is in charge of the accounts, and the other is in charge of the money. Why are you asking me?"
"Who asked you?"
Feng Xuan rolled her eyes at him and turned to Feng Ye: "If I'm not mistaken, we should have earned a little over 120,000 yuan from these two months of sailing."
"That's right."
"That's still a shortfall of over 50,000. Does the workshop have that much?"
All eyes turned to Ye Qingling, waiting for her answer.
Ye Qingling nodded slowly: "Business at the workshop is not bad, so we can come up with this money."
"Great, then we have enough money."
Ah-Can clapped his hands excitedly, "Let's not delay, Brother Ye, when are we going to Xiamen to bring the boat back?"
"What's it to you?"
Feng Ye glared at him and said, "You guys go out to sea to fish this afternoon, I'll go to Xiamen Island alone tomorrow."
Ah-Can pouted unwillingly: "How can that be? How can I not get involved in something this big?"
"What are you getting involved in? There's still 400,000 yuan waiting to be earned, you need to hurry up and make the most of it."
"It won't make a difference if we stay for a day or two. Besides, having more people means we can look out for each other and avoid any mishaps."
Feng Xuan also said, "Ah Ye, it's really not safe for you to go alone with so much money. It would be safer if you went together."
Feng Ye was still hesitating when Feng Jialing, who had been listening for a long time, said, "How about this, Ah Xuan and Ah Can, you two go out to sea as usual."
He pointed to himself and Feng Jiaqing beside him, and then said, "We two won't be delivering goods tomorrow; we'll accompany Aye on a trip to Xiamen."
"Father, how about this, we switch places? You go out to sea, and I'll go to Lushan Island?"
Ah-chan was still somewhat unwilling; he really wanted to see what the captain he was about to acquire was like as soon as possible.
"Get lost! Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Go out to sea and fish."
Feng Jialing cursed, then looked at Feng Ye, "Ah Ye, it's settled then. Your father and I will accompany you to Xiamen tomorrow."
Feng Ye initially wanted to refuse, but considering the turbulent times and the unsafety of traveling so far with so much money, he finally nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Father and Uncle Jialing."
Feng Jialing waved his hand dismissively: "We're family, no need to be so polite."
Next, they discussed matters such as the recruitment and arrangement of boatmen.
Feng Ye was also surprised. Just a few days ago, he said that the ship did not need any people for the time being, but now he was in a hurry to recruit boatmen. Plans really can't keep up with changes.
As for who to recruit, he didn't care and left it all to his father and Uncle Ling. The only requirement was that they had experience at sea.
