For two days in a row, Feng Ye helped out at A-Can's house.
It wasn't until the 28th that he sailed to the city.
Besides Feng Xuan and A-Can, Xiao Guowen, who had been arranged to go beforehand, also brought some useful information with him.
Inside the city's trade plaza, a shop owner placed an order, and since they happened to be going that way, they delivered it there to save his father and Feng Jialing the trouble of making another trip.
After delivering the goods, they went directly to the shipyard.
First, we went to the state-owned shipyard in the south, where we found the person in charge, familiar with the place.
The person in charge still had some impression of Feng Ye and A Can.
After all, I consulted them last year.
Although no orders were placed, the shipyard's customer base is inherently narrow, and they only have a few groups of customers throughout the year, so it's not surprising that they can remember them.
Feng Ye and his group didn't mince words. They went straight to the point as soon as they met, stating their purpose for coming: to order two 36-meter boats.
One is a fresh catcher, and the other is a trawler.
The person in charge was so surprised and stunned when he heard that they wanted to order two boats at once, both of which were 36-meter boats.
I didn't hear any magpies chirping when I woke up this morning!
How did such a wonderful thing fall into my lap?
He couldn't help but confirm again: "You mean, two 36-meter boats? One is a fresh catcher, and the other is a trawler?"
"That's right."
Feng Ye nodded. "Two boats, one for collecting fresh seafood and one for fishing."
The person in charge was overjoyed: "Great, great, great, welcome, welcome! Please come in, let's sit down and chat."
He smiled and led them to his office. After making tea, he finally asked, "Do you have any requirements for the ship?"
"Of course there are..."
Feng Ye then explained the configuration of the fresh seafood collection boat that had been discussed in the county ship's cabin, as well as the configuration of the Ziqi, and asked for a quote.
Before going to bed last night, he took out the contract for the Purple Aura ship and looked at it, noting down some details he had forgotten.
"So detailed! Did you ask somewhere beforehand?"
"Yes, I asked at the shipyard in the county a couple of days ago."
However, since it's a small factory, we don't know if this configuration is reasonable or if it can be optimized.
In addition, the price is a bit expensive, so we want to come to the city to check it out and compare prices.
Of course, the most important thing is the delivery date.
"You're a large factory with strong production capacity, so you should be able to deliver even faster."
Upon hearing this, the person in charge became more serious: "Don't worry, since you have chosen our shipyard, we will definitely treat you with the utmost sincerity."
Whether it's optimizing the configuration, offering affordable prices, or meeting delivery dates, we will do our best to meet your requirements.
After all, the customer is our god.
As for the configuration, I'll make a list, then organize it to see if optimization is needed, and also to calculate the cost.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Feng Ye responded politely.
The person in charge smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No trouble at all, it's my duty."
The group chatted and wrote in the office for over an hour.
Finally, they were taken to see the slipway and the ships under construction.
The 36-meter-long fresh catcher and trawler were both semi-finished products. They toured them and learned about the construction techniques and processes.
After reading it, Feng Ye and his team had a better understanding of the situation.
"Okay, we'll go back and think about it, and give you an answer in a couple of days."
"Okay, okay..."
The person in charge escorted them to the shipyard gate and warmly told them that they could come to him anytime if they had any problems.
Leaving the shipyard, Ah-Can couldn't help but complain, "400,000? Are they trying to rip us off? How dare they ask for that much?"
"Let him report it, we just won't buy it here, okay?"
Feng Ye didn't seem to care.
Before coming here, he had already anticipated this and did not have high hopes.
The price quoted for the fresh seafood collection boat was 400,000 yuan, which was 40,000 yuan more expensive than the price quoted by the county shipyard.
The fishing boat is also very expensive, costing 320,000.
He remembered that when he inquired last year, the price was only 300,000.
In just one year, the price increased by 20,000, which is quite an astonishing increase.
Moreover, there are no discounts available.
It seems that the prices of materials and equipment have indeed risen sharply this year.
Of course, it may also be related to the fact that more people have bought boats in the past two years.
The only commendable aspect is the delivery time; it is guaranteed to be delivered by the end of next year.
The county shipyard, however, dared not make such a guarantee, only saying that it would be before the beginning of the following year.
"The price is indeed not cheap."
Xiao Guowen frowned as well. "However, time is money. If we can deliver it sooner, spending more money is not a problem."
This is a matter of opinion; different people will have different views.
Some people are willing to spend more money for time, while others feel that they should save money wherever possible, since they are not in a hurry.
"You and Uncle Jun can think about the fishing boat. I have no objection to where you order it."
Feng Ye did not express his opinion, and seemed quite indifferent.
Ah-Can shrugged: "Me too, no problem."
"I have no objection either."
Feng Xuan echoed, then added, "Anyway, the bulk of the cost is on you guys. These extra tens of thousands of yuan won't cost me much more."
Ah-chan laughed heartily: "Brother Xuan, what you said really resonated with me."
"You guys are quite good at calculating."
Xiao Guowen couldn't help but chuckle. "I'll go back this afternoon and discuss it with my father before making a decision. Now, let's go check out other shipyards."
