"Chibi Island?"
The old man stared at Yu Shengnan, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the young man in front of him looked like a cop.
"Officer, are you on a secret visit?" The old man looked at him cautiously.
"Uncle, don't let your mind wander to so many things. I'm just a fisherman. The day before yesterday, I encountered a boat while out to sea. There was a pattern of a fireball on the boat, and it was very arrogant. Later, I heard from others that they looked like they were from Chibi Island..."
The old man looked at Yu Shengnan suspiciously again. Maybe he was really sure that the other party was not a policeman, and he was definitely not here for the five hundred yuan. Then he began to analyze the Red Cliff Island to Yu Shengnan.
Chibi Island was originally called Huangdao because a large number of yellow croakers were often caught near the island, including both large and small ones.
The current residents of Chibi Island migrated there from Sichuan and Shu areas later.
I heard that they once said that their ancestors were brave and had participated in the Battle of Red Cliffs, so they all regarded themselves as heroes.
After migrating here, they settled in Huangdao and started their life as fishermen. Later, they had several battles with the Japanese pirates from neighboring countries.
There was indeed robbery, but they robbed the Japanese pirates and never robbed their own people.
Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, yellow croaker was caught in large quantities and the price became higher and higher. More and more people went to Huangdao to fish. The people of Huangdao felt that the fish that should have belonged to them had been caught by others, which caused a lot of conflicts.
These people were really good at fighting. They beat people from other places. Everyone hated and despised them, so the reputation of the people from Chibi Island spread.
Listening to the old man speak, Yu Shengnan kept staring into his eyes. The more he listened, the more he felt that this guy was making excuses for the people of Chibi Island.
"Uncle, you're also an old man here at the dock. Logically, I should believe what you say, but are you really not from Chibi Island?"
"No, I'm really not from Chibi Island. How can you say that?" As the old man spoke, his eyes looked around in panic. He was afraid that others would hear him. What would happen if others heard him?
Yu Shengnan sneered inwardly. Haha, so what? Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, one thing was certain: the people of Chibi Island really didn't kill people now. That was all. As for the rest, Yu Shengnan wasn't afraid.
Speaking of which, if he were really on land, he would not be afraid even if he encountered three or five people alone. The results of his standing and breathing exercises during this period were too obvious, and this was personally tested by Ms. He Xinran.
But on the sea and in the water, Yu Shengnan is no better than others.
The reason he asked about Chibi Island was because he knew that although he saw the boat clearly last time, the people on the boat also saw him clearly. He was really afraid that if they met them again at sea, they would cause trouble for him, because Yu Shengnan was now planning to buy a boat.
That’s right, it was buying a boat and going fishing that opened his mind. He used to worry that he would be discovered cheating while fishing.
But if he were to do what Lao Sun did last time, and take his own boat out to sea to find a small island to fish alone, or if he were to go to the same fishing spot Lao Sun found last time, could he also go there secretly since he has his own boat?
When he was on the boat, he had already made up his mind to go out to sea for fishing. If it weren't for the issue of Chibi Island later, he would not have hesitated.
Now, he learned about the situation on Chibi Island through the old man at the dock who claimed to be the most informed at a high price of 500 yuan. Although he was still a little uneasy, he was generally calm.
Now that the decision had been made, Yu Shengnan no longer hesitated and began to prepare to buy a boat.
The first step to buying a boat is to obtain He Xinran’s consent.
Before Yu Shengnan and He Xinran got together, she once said that she would listen to him on the big matters at home and only listen to her on the small matters.
As for your question about what are the big things at home? He also said that world peace and nuclear crisis are big things, while things like family income and expenses are small things.
So for a small matter like buying a boat, he had to report to Ms. He Xinran for approval.
"How much does it cost to buy a boat?" He Xinran looked at him seriously.
Buying the boat is for Yu Shengnan's career, and she will definitely support it. However, if she invests too much, she has to consider whether the risk is acceptable. It's not that she is reluctant to spend money, but she has to keep a close eye on Yu Shengnan and not let him regret it because of an impulse.
"It's not expensive. I saw a boat at the dock, a Jinyun 280. The owner said it had only been running for 130 hours."
"It's second-hand. Is the quality guaranteed? You don't know much about boats. No, I'll ask Sister Meifang to find someone to take a look for you."
Yu Shengnan finally fell under the spell of the beautiful He Xinran.
The beautiful Meifang has always been very efficient. On the afternoon of the 8th, an expert named Wang contacted Yu Shengnan and wanted to check on the disembarkation situation.
"Jinyun 280, CCS license, complete Class III certification, 8.6 meters long, 2.36 meters wide, equipped with a 200-horsepower Yamaha engine, 133 hours of operation, a maximum speed of 32 knots, a 300-liter fuel tank, and a Mercury top-flow engine, navigation radar, a high-performance radio, and AIS collision avoidance."
After expert Wang boarded the boat and learned about all the configurations on the boat, he nodded to Yu Shengnan. This nod did not mean that the boat was good, but just meant that he understood.
"How about it, Brother Wang, is this boat okay?"
Yu Shengnan, who was originally quite confident, felt a little dizzy when he saw that the expert did not say anything after the examination.
"Mr. Yu, how much do you want for this boat?"
"One hundred thousand!"
"One hundred thousand? You can get it. If you buy the top-tier machine alone, it will cost you 20,000. The high-end radar, if you buy it alone, it will cost you more than 40,000. Of course, since it's second-hand, you have to give it a discount. But it's not a loss at all for one hundred thousand.
"But, Mr. Yu, do you have a seaman's certificate?" Expert Wang paused and asked a question.
"Crew's certificate?"
"Yes, crew certificate. Your ship is very formal. I suggest you take the test so that you don't have to worry about being checked at sea. Of course, if you are busy, you can postpone the test. After all, the size and configuration of this ship will make it difficult to run away." Having said that, Expert Wang glanced in the direction of the ship behind him.
"The reason I'm giving you this advice is that it's really not expensive to sell you this ship with this configuration. The key is that he sold a new ship that had only been in service for a few days. I'm afraid it will cause trouble. You won't have a license later, and I'm afraid someone will really check it out, which will be troublesome." Anyone who has a relationship with Chairman Yao is definitely worth his goodwill.
"Okay, I'll take the test when I have time. I just don't know if I can do well in it."
"Mr. Yu, you are truly a visionary. This is my business card. I own a maritime school that happens to be responsible for crew training and examinations. Mr. Yu, what do you think?"
