Wu An now only regrets not signing the agreement back then; otherwise, if Guang Liangjun went back on his word, he could have made that guy pay a large sum of money in compensation.
Things have come to this.
He was too lazy to argue further.
It's just a boat. Three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are plenty of fishing boats. If he can't buy a second-hand fishing boat, he'll go to the shipyard to take a look.
It would be better to buy a new boat.
He currently has a total of 150,000 yuan, enough to buy it in installments, if not in full.
The only problem is that we can't get the new ship right away; we'll probably have to wait a while before it can be delivered.
He found the receipt and said, "Give me back my deposit."
"Deposit?"
Guang Liangjun immediately laughed: "You still have the nerve to ask me for a deposit?"
"This boat is mine."
"You used my boat to go out to sea and made so much money, shouldn't you share some with me?"
"Logically speaking, we should split it 50/50."
"I don't need that much. After deducting the deposit, can you give me another thousand or eight hundred to make it ten thousand yuan?"
Wu An was dumbfounded.
Then I laughed.
He laughed out of anger.
He underestimated the evil in human nature. This was beyond what words like "shameless" or "rogue" could describe; at this moment, language seemed utterly inadequate.
“Guang Liangjun, I advise you to act like a human being.” Wu An put away his smile and continued, “We don’t have a contract, but we do have a verbal agreement. Besides Boss Gao, there are quite a few witnesses.”
Guang Liangjun sneered, "Don't try to intimidate me with Boss Gao's name."
"This is none of his business."
“If you think this won’t work, then I have another way. You can pay 166,000, and I’ll still sell you the boat. The deposit will still be valid.”
"You just need to pay me another 158,000 yuan."
Ah Qing cursed, "Can you even count?"
"I knew something was wrong as soon as I heard it."
"Brother, he's still trying to trick you."
Wu An gestured for him to calm down, then turned back to look at him and said, "Unless you offer me a 50% discount, I won't take this boat."
Upon hearing this, Guang Liangjun burst into laughter: "Kid, are you crazy?"
"I'll get a 50% discount?"
"Get out of here! Even if you gave me 166,000 yuan now, I still wouldn't sell it to you."
"If I just advertise it, do you know how sought-after my boat will be?"
Wu An was offended by him again.
Damn it!
They screwed him over so badly, and then used him for publicity and paid him "endorsement fees"?
Wu An didn't waste any words with him and took out his phone to call Gao Qiangqi.
Gao Qiangqi was eating when he received the call. He was furious when he learned that Guang Liangjun had backed out of selling the fishing boat and was even trying to swindle Wu An's deposit.
Although it was Guang Liangjun's own fault for being so unethical, he was the one who introduced the fishing boat.
Now that problems have arisen, he also bears responsibility.
He immediately threw down his bowl and chopsticks, and told Ah Jin and his underlings to drive straight to the dock.
Guang Liangjun saw Wu An making a phone call to call for reinforcements, and with a cold smile, he also made a phone call.
After exchanging a few words with the other party, he finally put down his phone with satisfaction, looked at Wu An with a provocative expression, and shouted, "You little brat, who are you trying to scare?"
"It's not just that you have powerful backers."
Wu An asked A Qing for a cigarette.
angry.
I want to smoke.
After getting the lighter, I gritted my teeth and endured it.
He felt it was a waste to smoke over such a trivial matter.
Not long after.
Several vans roared in; Gao Qiangqi and his men had arrived first.
Gao Qiangqi glared fiercely at Guang Liangjun and asked, "A'an, what do we do?"
Wu An said, "No rush."
"Brother Qiang, let me be frank with you. I called you here not to start a fight."
"This isn't worth making a big deal out of."
Gao Qiangqi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can settle things even if I kill someone."
Wu An shook his head.
He didn't want to guess whether Gao Qiangqi had the ability, nor did he care to think about whether Gao Qiangqi would really go to such lengths for him.
But hearing Gao Qiangqi say that made him feel good.
He was very clear about what the future situation would be like.
It's fine if things go smoothly, but if something goes wrong, it'll lead to a lot of trouble. He doesn't want his good days to come to an abrupt end, and he might end up working as a sewing machine operator.
Even if it's something to be done, it can't be done in person.
They were talking.
A car drove up from the opposite direction, and several people got out. Wu An squinted at the person surrounded in the middle and was surprised to find that it was an acquaintance.
It's Lao Tan.
Gao Qiangqi's face darkened, and he called out, "Boss Tan, are you getting involved in this mess?"
When Lao Tan saw him, he laughed and said, "Boss Gao's business is so big that he even wants to buy fishing boats. Is he planning to take over the fishing industry as well?"
The two knew each other.
Wu An thought so too. The town wasn't very big, but it had a lot of capable people. It would be strange if these two didn't know each other.
Gao Qiangqi said, "Stop being sarcastic. We're not that close. It was my younger brother who bought the fishing boat. He paid the deposit, but then he decided not to sell it to me."
Old Tan looked at Wu An, paused slightly, and exclaimed, "It's you, kid!"
"I've become sworn brothers with Boss Gao. I'm doing pretty well lately."
"Boss Tan," Wu An greeted him with a smile, "I just make a living at sea, earning a meager living."
"Are you going to stand up for Guang Liangjun today?"
Old Tan smiled and said, "I know it's not very ethical for Guang Liangjun to suddenly refuse to sell the fishing boat, but since the boat hasn't been transferred to his name, you can't force him to buy it."
"Since you're a fisherman, be honest and don't mess around with those social things."
"You can't handle it."
Guang Liangjun laughed along.
Gao Qiangqi's face was very ugly. He had many friends, but none of them were involved in this kind of business.
If it really came down to a head-on confrontation, he might not be able to beat Lao Tan.
Wu An's expression was not much better, and he said, "Boss Tan, you can't wrong someone."
"I've paid a deposit, and now I just want it back."
Old Tan frowned and looked at Guang Liangjun.
Guang Liangjun quickly explained, "He took my fishing boat out twice and earned at least tens of thousands of yuan. It's reasonable for me to only ask for a deposit from him, right?"
Old Tan's face darkened, and he cursed inwardly, "What a load of rubbish! This isn't just unethical, it's utterly immoral!"
That's not how you do things.
Guang Liangjun borrowed a lot of money from him, so naturally, he didn't act like a big shot just because he owed money.
But this bastard is now only alive and has no family to worry about, so he figured that even if he killed Guang Liangjun, he could only get his principal back. But Guang Liangjun said that he could get his principal back with interest by selling the fishing boat, so he came here today to see what was going on.
When he saw what kind of mess it was, he didn't want to deal with it anymore. If word got out, the "rule-abiding" persona he had painstakingly built up in the underworld would collapse.
No matter what, he can squeeze something out of Guang Liangjun; it just takes a few tricks and a bit of effort.
"Bullshit! Whatever the results of the trial run are mine, it's none of your business!" Wu An cursed, then looked at Lao Tan and softened his tone, saying, "Boss Tan, the deposit is eight thousand eight,000, that's no small amount."
“I risked my life before you were willing to lend me 10,000 yuan.”
Upon hearing this, Lao Tan knew that Wu An's sudden mention of borrowing money was a subtle hint to him.
He had previously listened to Chen Gui's instigation and sent his underlings to collect the debt ahead of time, which resulted in a misunderstanding.
He did something dishonest, so he owes Wu An that.
Guang Liangjun sneered: "It's my boat, I make the rules, and I should get half of the catch."
"Mr. Tan, what do you say?"
As he spoke, he winked and made faces at people.
Old Tan pretended not to see it and said, "If you ask me, you should return this deposit to them."
"Okay, okay, I'll... I'll..." Guang Liangjun subconsciously agreed, then realized what he had said, dumbfounded, and exclaimed, "Boss Tan, you... you must have said something wrong?"
"Give back the deposit." Old Tan said coldly, gently patting Guang Liangjun's face. "You know, right? I dislike people who don't follow the rules the most."
"You will repay the money you owe according to the agreed schedule."
"They're gone."
Wu An smiled and said, "Thank you for speaking up for me, Mr. Tan."
"If I ever need money, I'll definitely ask you for help."
Old Tan smiled and pointed at him. He knew that Wu An was just agreeing. He hadn't seen him for only a few days and he was already buying a fishing boat. What was he short of money for?
But Wu An's words were comforting to hear.
Guang Liangjun looked completely bewildered. Why did he have the illusion that he had found another accomplice for Wu An?
