Wu An had almost finished eating, and he kept licking the meat off his fingers, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.
He devoured the entire plate of steamed buns.
But it wasn't particularly delicious.
It's mainly because of their local cooking methods, which have a taste of home.
I can't get enough to eat, I simply can't get enough.
Gu Anran went inside to get his phone, and seeing him licking his fingers, she went to get him a wet towel.
Call Lao Fang back.
The call was answered quickly.
"Hey, Lao Fang."
"Ah An, I'm sorry to bother you."
"Don't be embarrassed, you didn't bother me. Why did you call so many times so early in the morning? What's up?"
"It's not a big deal."
"Old Fang, we're friends, so let's get straight to the point without beating around the bush."
If there's nothing important, why would they call so many times so early in the morning?
"Alright, then I won't beat around the bush. Here's the thing: Boss Chen came to me and said he wants to sell two trawlers and asked if you're interested in taking them over."
"He contacted you and asked me something?"
Wu An double-checked, afraid he might have misheard.
Given the feud between them, how could Boss Chen possibly have thought of him?
To put it bluntly, even if a trawler were to rot in the sea, no one would think of asking him to take over.
"Yes, he knew we had some connection, so he asked me to be the middleman."
“I think Boss Chen’s two trawlers are pretty good. If you’re willing to take them over, that would be a good thing.”
Are you interested?
Wu An didn't respond immediately; to say he wasn't interested would be a lie.
Chen Laoda's two trawlers were readily available and could be used immediately upon delivery.
Moreover, this way, the crew members on Boss Chen's fishing boat can basically take over as well.
Once a fleet is formed, the other two ships can operate together and benefit to some extent, so the harvest will certainly not be too bad.
With a guaranteed minimum, you can definitely make money.
Acquiring a trawler is a sure-fire way to make money.
But the premise is that Boss Chen is really willing to let him take over the trawler; he always felt that there might be a trap involved.
"Old Fang, do you think this is a reliable plan?"
"I really can't say for sure about this. As for Boss Chen, all I can say is that he's definitely not a good person."
"He came to me and poured out his grievances, saying that the Chen family was now disunited, and he was tired and didn't want to make any more trouble."
“We drank quite a bit yesterday. He got drunk, and I took the opportunity to ask him if he was up to something, but he didn’t say anything.”
After listening to Lao Fang's explanation, Wu An said, "Then let me think about it."
"I've thought it through and I'll give you an answer."
Lao Fang responded.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Anran, who was right next to him, heard everything clearly and said, "Anran, are you worried that Boss Chen is up to something?"
Wu An nodded: "It's not that I'm worried."
"I'm pretty sure something's going on here."
Gu Anran said, "In that case, let's just refuse."
Wu An scratched his head: "But I'm actually quite curious about how Boss Chen can deal with me in this matter."
Gu Anran said, "Curiosity killed the cat."
Wu An: "But I am a human being."
Gu Anran was speechless: "So what exactly are you thinking?"
Wu An shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet."
He's actually quite conflicted right now.
Taking over Boss Chen's two trawlers would have both advantages and disadvantages, and we still need to be wary of Boss Chen trying to rip us off.
I'm mentally exhausted.
But if you don't agree, it's like such a tempting piece of meat has been delivered right to your lips; you'll feel restless if you don't take a bite.
Old Chen has given him a difficult problem.
Maybe this is all part of Boss Chen's scheme?
Wu Andong thought about it and couldn't sit still any longer, so he dragged Gu Anran to take a stroll around the construction site of the big villa.
The main structure of the large villa is already visible, indicating that it is a very large house covering a vast area.
When the villagers pass by, they always say a few words about how he's made a lot of money and become rich.
Some said nice things, while others said unpleasant things.
The two walked along the beach toward the pier. The wind was a bit strong today, and the weather forecast indicated that the weather would change in a couple of days.
It's going to be windy and rainy.
Fortunately, although the weather was bad, it did not affect their 25-meter trawlers going out to sea.
Otherwise, everyone would be quite frustrated.
We arrived at the convenience store.
Many villagers were chatting, and when they saw Wu An bringing Gu Anran over, they greeted them warmly.
A bunch of little kids were still pestering them for wedding candy.
Wu An joined the group of children in playing and scattering a large bag of candy he had bought from his hometown around the area.
But it thrilled the kids.
They all called him so affectionately, some calling him "brother," others "uncle," and two little brats even went too far, asking Wu An to buy them popsicles.
Wu An teased them, saying that they could buy popsicles, but they had to call him "Dad."
These two brats have no sportsmanship. They started shouting on the spot, and they even dragged Old Jiang into it as a witness.
Wu Anya was stunned.
Pay quickly.
The other kids followed suit, and Wu An had no choice but to stuff popsicles in their mouths.
After Old Jiang sent the group of unruly kids away, Wu An asked, "Old Jiang, is there anything interesting happening in the village?"
Old Jiang, puffing on his cigarette, said with a wicked grin, "Of course there is."
"Last night, around midnight, I was brought back by someone."
"He got so drunk that he almost smashed up the restaurant."
"The owner called the police, but luckily the police officer knew Village Chief Shen and brought him back."
Wu An asked, "And then?"
Old Jiang chuckled: "Then he said he cursed you all the way, and the curses were really filthy."
Wu An laughed: "Damn, this is nothing new."
Although this is probably not the first or second time he's been criticized.
Old Jiang said, "By the way, a traitor has come to the dock."
Wu An raised an eyebrow: "A traitor?"
Old Jiang nodded: "Yes, at first everyone thought it was a real happy occasion."
"He got out of the car and started talking non-stop."
"Someone struck up a conversation with him, and it turned out that the guy's Mandarin was more standard than ours."
"I only found out after asking that the guy was a local. He said the boss was a small business owner and he was making a phone call to the boss when he got out of the car."
Wu An asked, "What's your name?"
Old Jiang shook his head: "I don't know, but that traitor went to see Boss Chen's trawl boat and chatted with the boatman for a while."
Wu An asked a few more questions, and based on Lao Jiang's description, he could basically confirm that it was Jing He.
Why is that bastard here again?
Are you here to see Boss Chen's trawler again?
What do you want to do?
Are you planning to buy Mr. Chen's trawler?
Or was it that Boss Chen was planning to sell the fishing boat to Jing He and was deliberately tricking him?
That's very suspicious.
Seeing that Wu An had asked so many questions, Lao Jiang asked, "Do you know that person?"
Wu An nodded: "I've dealt with him twice, and I swindled him both times."
"This information is very important."
"Give me two cartons of cigarettes and deliver a few cases of beer to my house."
Old Jiang happily agreed.
Just then, a few drunkards from the village walked in and greeted him happily.
Wu An was also very happy. He bought some cheap cigarettes, handed out a pack to each person, and said, "Have you heard? A traitor came to the dock today."
Old Jiang explained the situation to the group of drunkards.
Wu An said, "Boss Chen is going to sell me the trawl boat. If that traitor comes again next time, you guys keep an eye on him for me."
The drunkard patted his chest and agreed, saying that when the traitor came again, he would arrest him immediately.
Wu An smiled and said there was no need.
Jinghe's visit to see Boss Chen's trawler wasn't necessarily to buy it.
Previously, the trawler was used by Ma Weiqun, who was engaged in espionage. Jing He was a traitor. Could there be any connection between the two?
It's hard to say.
There's too little information; we can't see through it at all.
