Chapter 191
Saying goodbye to the two of them, Zhao Qin was a little hungry, but he had something on his mind. He didn’t have time to eat, so he hurried to the shipyard. Damn it, when will I make a big fortune again? I must buy a car.
Even if it’s seven hands and one box of Charlie, otherwise it would be too inconvenient to go out.
It was just noon when he arrived at the shipyard. Manager Luo first took him to see the construction status of the ship and estimated that it could be delivered half a month in advance.
It happened to be dinner time, and Manager Luo invited him to eat in the cafeteria, and he didn’t refuse.
While eating, he looked at Manager Luo and asked, “Mr. Luo, is there still a big demand for 12-meter fishing boats now?”
“It’s big. How can there be so many rich people who can afford to order a big boat? Most of them still order 12-meter boats like this, which are towed offshore. If you are lucky, you can pay back your investment in one year or less.”
“If I pay more to get a bigger one, will your factory agree?”
“How old?”
“Twenty-five or six meters.”
“That’s a large fishing boat. The price of this kind of boat is not cheap. If it has a motor, it will cost at least seven to eight hundred thousand yuan. I have to do the math for you. If you really want to change it, I can help coordinate it.
Just find someone who can buy your 12-meter boat at full price. ”
Zhao Qin’s liver hurt for a while. Damn it, he thought it would be very expensive, but he didn’t expect it to be so ridiculously expensive. Seven or eight hundred thousand. He couldn’t even afford it now.
“I was too fanciful. I thought I could win it for 400,000-500,000 yuan.”
“That’s not how the ship’s calculation works. If it’s one meter longer, all the equipment will have to be replaced with larger and more expensive ones. Also, the longer the ship, the more difficult it is to manufacture.”
Zhao Qin was a little discouraged, he had embarrassed the reborn people!
People have been reborn for half a month and it is measured in units of 100 million. I am still worried about 700 to 800 million, but thinking about my last life, I really didn’t have much ability. People say that even a pig can take off if it stands in the wind.
But I know the time of the tuyere, but I don’t know how to operate it.
Go find those two horses? Just kidding, you have to have capital to play high-tech by yourself, I don’t understand.
“If I want to place an order, how long will the construction period be and how much deposit should I pay in advance?”
Manager Luo heard what he said seriously and made a mental calculation in his mind, “Eight months, even if we rush the work, it will take at least six months to deliver. As for the deposit, just pay 300,000 first and that’s enough.”
Zhao Qin was able to get the 300,000 yuan, and now including the unpaid money for the ship, he had almost 400,000 yuan on hand.
“Okay, I’ll think about it again, thank you, Manager Luo.”
After finishing the last bit of rice in the bowl, he said goodbye to Manager Luo.
If you want to change to a large fishing boat, there will be more things to consider. After all, the farther the fishing boat travels, the corresponding risk factor will increase. Xia Rong and the old lady will probably not agree to it.
There is also a 25-meter fishing boat. The three of them will definitely not be able to handle it. It will require at least 6 to 8 boatmen. Where will the remaining people be found? Can you rest assured?
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhao Qin hurried back to the town and arrived at the Chen family’s purchasing station. When he heard that his eldest brother and the others had not returned yet, he rode a tricycle and went to the dock again.
It is obvious that the wind has become stronger. The pier, which was usually quiet at noon, is also very lively at this moment, and many small fishing boats have docked early.
Because the big fishing boat has strong wind resistance, if it really returns, it will be in the evening this evening.
Sitting on a tricycle smoking a cigarette, he looked at the sea with an anxious expression. Finally, when he wanted to take out a cigarette again, he saw his fishing boat emerging from the distance, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
When the boat docked, Zhao Qin immediately jumped on board. Ah He was a little embarrassed and said, “Brother, it’s my fault today. I messed up a basket of hooks when I was releasing the hooks. It took me and Brother Heping more than half an hour to untie them.”
“It’s my first night job, so I’ll inevitably be in a hurry.” Zhao Ping said helpfully.
Zhao Qin patted Ahe on the shoulder to indicate that it was okay, and then helped to lift the fish upwards.
The basket that was brought up first was actually full of red flower crabs. “Brother, why are there so many of them today?”
“The cages on the second island are collected. There are several cages in each cage, which is strange.”
The price of safflower crabs is equivalent to that of blue crabs. This basket weighs forty or fifty kilograms and is worth one or two thousand yuan. So when Zhao Ping said this, his face was filled with joy.
The second basket was smaller, with only a dozen pounds of blue crabs mixed in with the snails.
The next step was to move the goods from the cold storage. Five or six baskets were brought out in succession, and almost all of them were yellow pomfret.
“Brother, is this the harvest from longline fishing?”
“Well, it’s strange today. The sea area is full of these things. Half of the hooks in the four baskets are of this kind. They are not bad. Although they are not valuable, they are big.”
Huang Li’s pomfret was very good at weighing it. The fish was wide and thick. Zhao Qin picked up one and weighed it casually.At least about five or six catties.
This kind of fish is a bit dry and tastes average. Zhao Qin doesn’t like it very much anyway. The purchase price is not comparable to that of white pomfret. It is estimated to be only twelve or thirteen yuan per catty at most.
There is a basket of miscellaneous fish that Zhao Qin likes very much. The big one in it is sea wolf, which is average. More importantly, there are three hairtails, which must be taken back and destroyed.
The most valuable thing in the live tank should be tiger fish, and there are also a few good-sized oil spots, which the locals call Tuma fish.
After moving all the fish ashore, the three of them moved all the ground cages up. Ah He stayed on top to watch the ground cages. Zhao Ping wanted to park the boat in a good position. The forecast said that the wind would be strong in the next few days.
It would be better to find a big boat to park next to it, which would be safer.
Zhao Qin drove the tricycle to pull the fish to the purchase station first. After unloading the things, he went to the dock to pull the ground cages.
“Are the ground cages still in the backyard?” Chen Dong asked.
“I won’t release it this time. I’ll just take it back to clean it.”
He started to weigh it. The yellow pomfret was about the same as he expected. Chen Dong’s price was reasonable, only 13.5 yuan per catty. However, the quantity was large. Six baskets together weighed more than 320 catties, which was worth 4,000 yuan.
Red flower crab weighed more than 53 catties, 36 yuan per catty, and sold for 1,900 yuan. Other sundries sold for more than 1,000 yuan. Today’s harvest was no less than 7,000 yuan.
After the accounts were settled here, Zhao Ping hadn’t come yet. Zhao Qin asked Ah He to wait here while he pulled the ground trap back first.
Seeing that he was pulling the ground trap back, Xia Rong was also relieved, which meant that her boat had already docked. She had just seen many fishing boats in the village return.
Hearing that the wind was getting stronger at sea, she couldn’t help but worry.
“There is lean meat and rice noodles at home. Can I cook some rice noodles for you?” It was more than two o’clock, neither lunch nor dinner, so naturally there was no way to arrange a meal.
“There are still some clams in the bucket. You can put some in. You don’t have to cook mine. I’m not hungry.”
At noon, we had lunch at the shipyard. The food was pretty good. He didn’t say anything polite and drank three bowls of rice. Lao Luo was stunned. How could he fit in so thin?
Then he looked at himself, who only ate one bowl of rice and had a big belly protruding forward. He was quite depressed.
When he returned to the purchasing station, Zhao Ping was already drinking tea with Chen Dong. The two had been in contact for a long time and could chat with each other.
“I said I would pay him the money, but your brother insisted that he would wait for you to come and give it to you.”
“It doesn’t matter who you give it to.” Zhao Qin smiled, took a cup without hesitation, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all.
