The next morning.
Wu An was woken up by a phone call.
I picked up my phone and saw it was a call from Manager Wang of the shipyard.
Wu An posted a message on his WeChat Moments, revealing that he was in the county town, and Manager Wang warmly invited him to dinner.
Wu An thought about it and agreed.
Since we had nothing else to do, we decided to have a meal and then take a stroll around the shipyard.
He figured that since he had money now, he might as well order another one and work with two boats together. Even if the catch doubled, they could at least help each other out.
A trawler that is more than 20 meters long can take several days to go out to sea and travel a long distance. Although the fishing boat is bigger and more stable, the risk factor is actually greater than that of a fishing boat that is only 10 meters long.
If the two ships are together, even if one ship has an accident and is destroyed, the people can still return safely.
If you think about it, just do it.
It's only a matter of one or two million anyway.
If he could find suitable manpower, he would even have ordered five or six boats to form a near-shore fishing team. He would only need to tap his finger to boost his luck every time he went out to sea, and then he could just sit back and wait for the harvest.
at the moment.
Let alone two fishing boats, we haven't even found enough manpower for a 25-meter trawler yet.
But there is still time.
He thought he could solve the manpower shortage problem before he got the fishing boat.
You have to eat your food one bite at a time.
Many things cannot be handled reliably just by having money, especially for someone like him who is a cheater. He must be extremely cautious in everything he does.
After having breakfast, he drove straight to the shipyard.
We arrived at the shipyard.
Manager Wang extended a warm invitation.
After checking on the progress of the fishing boat, Wu An was very satisfied. He lingered until it was time to eat, and after a glass of wine, he explained his purpose: he wanted to order another boat.
Manager Wang looked surprised, then laughed and said, "Ah An, you must be joking."
"You can still pay for this ship in installments; there are still so many installments left."
Wu An said seriously, "I'm not joking, and I'm not trying to make fun of you."
Manager Wang lit a cigarette and said, "Are you serious?"
Wu An nodded.
Manager Wang shook his head: "Even if you wanted to order, you couldn't. You have no idea how much pressure I'm under now that this fishing boat is being paid for in installments."
"I don't have that much authority to send another one."
Even if you approach my boss, he would never agree.
“I’m telling the truth.”
Why?
On the one hand, they were afraid that Wu An would not make any money and would default on his debts. On the other hand, they were afraid that the fishing boat would have an accident at sea, in which case they would have lost everything.
The risk is too great.
Wu An sighed and said, "I understand."
"But Manager Wang, I'm just a fisherman."
"I've just been lucky lately and made some money..."
Manager Wang was taken aback: "You made money? No wonder you suddenly said you wanted to order another one. How much did you make?"
Wu An shook his head: "Not much."
Although the money for the ambergris hadn't arrived yet, Wu An already had a little over two million in hand, and said, "Manager Wang, let's be frank."
“Except for the final payment, I can pay the rest of the amount in one lump sum.”
"On the condition that the second fishing boat be delivered within three months."
With the first fishing boat in hand, the pricing was almost transparent, so he wasn't afraid of being ripped off by Manager Wang and there was nothing to argue about.
Manager Wang was overjoyed, rubbing his hands together and saying, "This is really a windfall!"
Congratulations!
“It should be a shared joy,” Wu An said. “I’m just bold. You can’t catch a wolf without risking your cub. The bolder you are, the more you’ll reap.”
Manager Wang laughed heartily, nodded, and said, "Yes, that's right!"
"Since you've put it that way, I can't find a reason to refuse."
"It's settled then."
Wu An nodded.
Manager Wang raised his glass: "You are truly a savior sent by God. With your orders, this factory can survive, and maybe even be reborn."
"Come on, Ah An, let me toast you."
"I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."
They drank quite a bit of alcohol, and they still had to sign a contract in the afternoon. Wu An didn't drink too much, and Manager Wang also controlled his intake. It was still the same contract, with only slight changes to the details.
Although he knew there was no problem, Wu An still habitually sent the contract to Lao Mai's lawyer friend, who is now also his friend.
The man's name is Chang Ji, and he has officially become his legal advisor.
Not long after.
Chang Ji sent a message saying that there were no problems with the contract.
Signed the contract.
Wu An made the payment.
When Manager Wang received the news that the payment had been received, he beamed with joy and repeatedly assured Wu An that the fishing boat would be delivered on time.
Wu An nodded, indicating that it was okay if he couldn't complete the task; he would simply compensate the company according to the contract.
Wu An asked, "It seems that our shipyard does not have any ocean-going fishing vessels that are forty or fifty meters long."
Manager Wang said with a wry smile, "That's definitely not the case."
"Our shipyard isn't big; if it weren't for you, we'd all be dead."
"Don't even mention our shipyard, it's hard to find a shipyard in the city that can do this."
"What, you want to go ocean voyages?"
Wu An smiled and said, "It was just a casual remark."
Of course he has his own ideas.
But for now, we can only think about it. Don't be fooled by the fact that ten meters, twenty meters, thirty or forty meters may seem to be similar, but in reality, they are worlds apart.
You can tell from the fact that the fishing boats he currently owns, which are only a dozen meters long, can be bought for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan, while when he comes to the shipyard to order a trawler that is more than twenty meters long, the minimum cost is seven figures.
The larger the fishing boat, the more money is required.
A fishing boat that is 40 or 50 meters long will cost at least several million, and a better one will easily cost eight figures.
Of course.
The more you put in, the more you will naturally reap.
at the moment.
The money he had was barely enough to get by.
But there's no need for it.
Let's leave it for later.
at the moment.
What hinders his rapid expansion and growth is not only funding and manpower, but also the biggest problem: the upper limit of his luck.
The luck boost that deep-sea fishing vessels can receive is definitely astronomical.
He needs to work hard to increase the upper limit of his luck value.
Don't let the boat be available only to find you don't have enough luck points; then you're out of luck.
As he thought about it, he became somewhat troubled. It was not easy to make a trip across the ocean; it wasn't just a matter of a few days, but rather a round trip that took several months.
He wasn't happy about it.
He definitely won't go out with us then.
Manager Wang patted Wu An on the shoulder and said, "An, I have high hopes for you."
"You are extraordinary."
"If you ever become rich and want to own a deep-sea fishing boat that's several tens of meters long, come find me."
"I'll help you make the connection."
Wu An responded, put away the contract, and drove away from the shipyard.
I was just about to go back to the hotel.
Then I received a call from Liang Rong.
"Ah An, I've raised the money."
"If you're free now, let's meet at Mr. Zhang's antique shop."
What else could Wu An say but readily agreed: "I'll be in the county when I have time."
"Let's meet in half an hour."
