The Full Warehouse has already returned and is currently docked at the pier.
So when the Purple Qi ship docked, Feng Jialing was already standing on the pier waiting for him, along with Director Li, who had a big smile on his face.
As soon as they disembarked, Factory Director Li came up to them: "How was it? Did everything go smoothly? Are there any problems with the machines?"
Feng Ye responded with a smile: "Everything went smoothly, the machine is in good condition, and the catch is also very good."
"Oh, what did you gain?"
The experienced crew member on the deck chimed in, smiling, "They're incredibly lucky. In just half an hour, they've hauled up over 800 jin of mantis shrimp, each one fresh and plump. They can sell them for a fortune."
"Oh, have we run into a swarm of shrimp?"
Factory Director Li was somewhat surprised, "You guys are really lucky, you can sell them for two or three thousand yuan."
Feng Jialing was also overjoyed: "I really didn't expect such a good harvest on the first trial fishing. This new ship is really impressive!"
Factory Director Li patted Feng Ye on the shoulder: "It seems that it won't be long before you earn back the cost of this ship."
"That's hard to say. Such a big ship is a gas guzzler, and fuel costs are a major expense."
Feng Ye waved his hand, "Today we were just lucky. There happened to be a group of mantis shrimp where we cast our nets. You can't usually get such a good catch in such close waters. It's all just luck."
"There aren't many people as lucky as you, and I've never met a single one."
Factory Director Li laughed heartily and continued, "Six months ago, when you came to the factory to order a boat, we were only using a small boat that was a dozen meters long."
In just six months, there were already two fishing boats over 30 meters long and one fresh catch boat.
Which fisherman can match this speed of development?
Without good luck, how could such rapid development have been possible?
The Donglai had never been to the county shipyard, so Director Li was naturally unaware of its existence and assumed that there was only one ship, the Dongsheng, as well as the current Ziqi and Mancang.
Feng Ye smiled and didn't explain further, urging, "Director Li, let's finish the rest of the contract as soon as possible so I can pay and go back quickly."
"Alright, alright, let's go to the office now. Once you sign this and pay, these two deals will be completely finished."
As Director Li spoke, he led Feng Ye toward the shipyard office.
Everyone else stayed behind and did not follow.
It's just a matter of signing a document and paying money; there's no need to go to both.
They didn't just wait idly at the dock. After transferring the mantis shrimp from the Purple Qi to the small boat, they all ran to the Full House.
They were already familiar with the Purple Qi, but they only glanced at the Full Cabin during the ship inspection and wanted to take a closer look.
Everyone on the Full Ship touched and looked around, praising the new vessel.
They were particularly curious about the refrigeration equipment in the refrigerated fish tanks, and kept asking Feng Jialing, who had followed them, questions.
Meanwhile, in the office.
Under Director Li's guidance, Feng Ye signed his name and pressed his fingerprint on each document before paying the remaining balance.
Fortunately, the shipyard has a banknote counting machine; otherwise, it would have taken forever to count all that cash.
After counting the last stack of banknotes and confirming that the amount was correct, Factory Manager Li nodded in satisfaction and solemnly locked the contract and money into the safe.
Feng Ye also stood up to say goodbye: "Director Li, all the procedures are completed, I should go back now."
"Okay, I'll see you out."
Factory Director Li smiled broadly, "If you order another ship in the future, I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate again."
As Feng Ye walked, he said, "Definitely. If there is any need in the future, we will come to your factory first. It's just that your factory's schedule is too tight, and the construction cycle of a ship is too long."
"There's no way around it, the factory is only so big, and we have too many orders, we can't handle it all."
"So you have to expand your scale and increase your production capacity. Otherwise, even if you have a price advantage, customers who want to get their ships as soon as possible will be willing to spend a little more money and order ships from other shipyards."
“We are also considering expansion in order to shorten the construction cycle. However, the expansion of this shipyard is not something that can be done in a short time. It requires a lot of investment and time, and it also needs to be approved by higher authorities. It’s not that easy.”
"I can understand. After all, this is a state-owned shipyard, unlike private shipyards, which can do whatever they want and even move up the construction schedule if they are willing to pay more."
Factory Director Li suddenly blurted out, "Actually, if you're willing to pay more, I can think of a way."
Feng Ye was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and looked at him seriously: "Okay, let's talk again when I book another boat later."
"good."
The two returned to the dock, and Feng Ye went aboard the small boat and unloaded a basket of mantis shrimp: "Director Li, please distribute this basket of shrimp to the factory workers. Thank you for your hard work."
"These mantis shrimp are a real delicacy, so I won't stand on ceremony. Thank you."
"No need to thank me, you're too kind."
A basket of shrimp is nothing compared to this new boat.
Besides, they will most likely order ships from the shipyard again in the future, so it's always good to give the shipyard workers a little something extra.
Human hearts are made of flesh and blood; a little care today may turn into inexhaustible motivation tomorrow.
If they work hard enough, even if they deliver a day early, it will be enough to make up for the value of this basket of shrimp.
When Director Li called someone to bring a basket and poured the mantis shrimp over it, Feng Ye immediately threw the empty basket onto the small boat.
