After seeing off the Xiao family father and son, Feng Xuan, who had been listening silently, suddenly asked, "A-Ye, how many shares are you planning to buy?"
Feng Ye was slightly taken aback, not expecting his elder brother to ask him this question.
After a moment's thought, he said, "If A-Ling agrees, I'd like to take over the remaining four shares."
"Take them all? That's 60,000 yuan!" Feng Xuan exclaimed.
Feng Ye smiled slightly: "Brother, money is earned, not saved. Besides, do you think this boat is worth it?"
"It's worth it, absolutely worth it!" Feng Xuan nodded without hesitation. "A ship that's over thirty meters long, for only 150,000, that's practically free money."
"That's settled then." Feng Ye shrugged.
After a moment of silence, Feng Xuan said somewhat embarrassedly, "A-Ye, could you reduce your investment by one share?"
"What's wrong?"
Feng Ye looked at Feng Xuan with some confusion, not understanding why he would suddenly make such a request.
"Hehe, I'd like to get a stake in this too."
Feng Xuan scratched his head sheepishly, a slightly embarrassed smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, Feng Ye immediately laughed and said, "Of course, no problem. But, brother, do you have that much money?"
He knew all too well how much money his brother had.
Feng Xuan was overjoyed: "I don't have 15,000, but I can barely afford half a share. I was thinking of getting A-Can to join me as a shareholder. I think he would definitely agree."
Upon hearing this, Feng Ye immediately understood Feng Xuan's intention.
Feng Xuan interfered on the Rising Sun, essentially taking advantage of A-Can. Now, by bringing A-Can into the partnership, he's returning the favor.
Feng Ye nodded in agreement, saying, "That's a good idea. You and A-Can can each invest half the money, seven thousand five hundred each. That way, the pressure won't be so great, and you won't have to go around borrowing money from others."
Feng Xuan's face lit up with joy, and she thanked him repeatedly, "A-Ye, thank you..."
Feng Ye waved his hand and laughed, "We're all brothers, no need for thanks. But you'd better talk to A-Can properly, don't let him have any objections."
"Don't worry. As long as I tell him you've invested, he'll definitely agree without hesitation," Feng Xuan said confidently.
Feng Ye remembered what A-Can had said and couldn't help but laugh.
He nodded and said, "Okay, then tell Ah-Can when you go out to sea tomorrow."
The two brothers exchanged a few more words, and then Feng Jiaqing came in with a cigarette between his fingers.
The two of them then asked for his opinion.
Feng Jiaqing hesitated for a moment before saying, "You can decide this yourselves; I won't get involved."
"Dad, your opinion is very important, and we want to hear it."
Feng Jiaqing looked at his two sons with a hint of relief in his eyes: "I see you've discussed the matter of the ship quite thoroughly, and I have no objections. If you think it's suitable, then go ahead and do it."
Feng Xuan and Feng Ye exchanged a glance, both seeing joy in each other's eyes.
With their father's approval, they had no more worries.
Whether Feng Jiaqing agrees or not is not important, since he doesn't need to contribute money or effort.
But after all, he is the father of the two brothers, and such a large sum of money is involved. If he disagrees, it will be very ugly, and he also has the ability to ruin things.
However, obtaining Feng Jiaqing's consent is not enough; Ye Qingling and Du Guilan's consent are also required.
They were in charge of Feng Ye's and Feng Xuan's money respectively.
...
Before going to sleep, Feng Ye told Ye Qingling about the investment.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingling frowned slightly: "We've only bought this ship a few days ago, why are you investing in another ship? And you want to come up with 45,000 yuan all at once."
"Money held in your hands can't generate more money; you have to spend it to earn more, right?"
"Besides, a ship that's over 36 meters long would normally cost over 200,000 yuan, right? But now it's only 150,000 yuan. There's no way we could lose money."
"Even if it just stays docked, we can make tens of thousands of dollars once we find a suitable buyer. It's just that we don't have enough money, otherwise I'd like to buy one myself..."
Feng Ye said a lot with a grin.
Ye Qingling looked at him and frowned: "It's been reduced by tens of thousands of yuan, so there shouldn't be any problems with the boat, right?"
“Uncle Jun went to check, and there’s nothing wrong,” Feng Ye said. “According to Uncle Jun, the company went bankrupt, and the boss sold the ship to pay off debts…”
Logically speaking, it is difficult for a fishing company to go bankrupt, especially in an era when fishery resources are still relatively abundant.
A simple trip out to sea, while not guaranteed to make a fortune, will at least cover the company's operating costs without any problem.
Feng Ye guessed that the problem was mostly with the boss himself, most likely that he had gotten involved in gambling and was heavily in debt. He was being pressured by creditors to sell the boat so quickly and at such a low price.
Of course, these were just his guesses, and he didn't care. As long as the transfer could be legal, there was no need to tell Ye Qingling.
After listening to his seemingly logical explanation, Ye Qingling paused for a moment and asked, "Are you really planning to invest in three shares?"
Feng Ye nodded: "Yes, this ship is pretty good. It would be a pity to miss it."
Ye Qingling nodded slightly: "Alright, since you've made up your mind, I support you."
She is not an unreasonable person, nor is she like a greedy creature that only takes in and never gives out. As long as it is a legitimate matter, she does not object even if it costs more money.
Feng Ye smiled and kissed her: "Wife, thank you."
Ye Qingling blushed slightly and gently pushed him: "Giving away 45,000 yuan at once has depleted our savings. You have to work hard to earn it back for me."
Feng Ye quickly assured him, "Don't worry, you definitely won't lose money. Just relax and wait to count your money."
Ye Qingling gave him a playful glare: "I don't believe you... Go to sleep now, and go out to sea to make money for me tomorrow."
"Okay, time to sleep..."
Feng Ye chuckled and pulled her into his arms.
He kept saying he was going to sleep, but his hands were still wandering...
"Didn't you say you were going to sleep? Why are you... Waaah."
Feng Ye rolled over and pinned her down, silencing her with a kiss...
...
At 2:30 a.m. the next day, Feng Ye was woken up on time.
Although he really didn't want to get up, he struggled to his feet in order to earn money.
After eating the leftovers, he and Feng Xuan went to the dock.
Today, Ah-chan was unusually late, unlike usual when he arrived first.
The Rising Sun wasn't docked at the pier; it was still in deep water. So Feng Xuan rowed a small wooden boat to set sail.
Feng Xuan stayed at the dock to watch over the goods and chatted with familiar people about trivial matters.
Before long, the Rising Sun arrived, and Ah-Can also arrived.
We loaded our things onto the boat and set off!
