Chapter 152 Before going to sea
Chinese people all pay attention to discussing business at the wine table, even if they are just talking about renting fishing boats. Zhuang Haiyang, who was not in a hurry to go home at noon, booked a banquet at the Yuxian Building and invited the boat owner to have a meal and drink with Zhou Yang and others.
In addition, Zhou Yang had already said before that the guarantor of Zhuang Haiyang's boat charter was Chen Xingwang. When it comes to signing the contract, the guarantor also needs to sign it. Therefore, the owner of the ship had no objection to sign the contract with the invitation to the Yuxian Building.
As Zhou Yang said, the ship owner may have some money, but if you really want to compare with someone like Chen Xingwang with assets of over 10 million, the ship owner still cannot compare with him. With Chen Xingwang's help to guarantee, the rental price can be cheaper.
Not to mention too much, as long as you can reduce 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, will you make a double profit for this meal?
The wine was almost the same, and the price was finally finalized. The owner of the ship said helplessly: "Old Chen, you are not kind!"
Listening to this, Chen Xingwang smiled and said, "Fatty Sun, don't be dissatisfied. Your boat has been parked at the pier for almost two months, right? I believe you also know the market conditions this year. If you want to rent out your boat, you probably have to wait for a while.
My nephew is also a cheerful person. All the rent is paid in one lump sum. What else are you not satisfied with? I have drunk this wine and eaten the food. I will give you a discount. What are you so petty about doing?”
"Old Chen, I didn't say that Xiaozhuang is not kind. I mean that you are not kind and want to get me drunk, right?"
Although I drank some wine, the owner was quite satisfied with the rental price given by Zhuang Haiyang. As Chen Xingwang said, if the fishing boat cannot be rented out, not to mention making money, he would have to pay in.
Now for at least half a year, he doesn’t have to worry about anything anymore. If Zhuang Haiyang really makes money by borrowing his boat, he will continue to rent others in the future, and he will probably rent it better. Nowadays, many people like to grab the lottery!
After finalizing the contract, the restaurant transfers the money directly after eating. Seeing that the money was in the account and drank it until the owner of the ship was flushed, he was also very happy: "Xiaozhuang, the money has been received. I will leave this ship to you for safekeeping. If you still rent it in half a year, take care of it!"
"Don't worry, Brother Sun! If the business is good, I will definitely rent your boat at that time."
Zhuang Haiyang did not disclose the matter of customizing the new ship. In fact, if the profits of going to sea are good, renting an extra boat to accompany you to sea will not be a big problem. At most, but the expenses will be higher.
With Dinghaizhu by his side, Zhuang Haiyang never worried about not making much money when going overseas, but just making more money!
He sent the owner of the ship who signed the contract and got the money, and handed the keys of Zhuang Haiyang and the ship directly to Zhou Yang for safekeeping. He came back to the fishing boat and began to discuss purchasing the things for going to sea, planning first and then purchasing.
While planning to buy supplies for sea, Zhuang Haiyang said again: "Uncle Zhou, I will go with you to buy trawls later. The trawls we bought this time must buy those with large diameters and small trawls. We can't use them. What do you think?"
"Okay! In fact, I don't agree with that kind of terrible user network. It is because of the years that I have used this network too hard, which makes it more and more difficult to catch fish now. When using a large network, it really depends on luck when I go offline."
Listening to what Zhou Yang said, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "Don't worry, you know, I've always been lucky! In addition to trawling, I also plan to buy some big crab cages. You know, the crab market has been good in the past two years!"
But Zhou Yang quickly said: "If you want to catch crabs, why don't you use crab net?"
"It's too troublesome to solve the crab net, so it's more convenient to use crab cages. When we get to the sea, we don't catch fish at night, so we find a suitable place and throw it down. After resting the next day, we will catch the crab cages.
Please help me watch what’s happening on the boat. As for fishing, you can listen to me. If my method doesn’t work, then listen to you. No matter what, we go out to sea to make money. We all hope to make more money, right?”
"That's true! OK, you are the boss, you are not afraid, what am I afraid of?"
After some discussion, Zhuang Haiyang offered a guaranteed salary of 3,000 yuan per time to the crew members he found. In addition, the crew members shared 20% of the income each time they got back. Naturally, there were no other benefits.
Of course, the so-called guaranteed income is that when the fishing boat is running out of nowhere, Zhuang Haiyang also needs to make up for 3,000 yuan every time. Based on the fact that it goes out to sea once, it will be calculated in three to four days. If you go there a few more trips a month, your monthly income will be not low!
As for the invited comrades, Zhuang Haiyang guaranteed that their monthly salary was not less than 10,000 yuan. As for the recruitment personnel, Zhou Yang enjoyed the same treatment as the crew. His nephew got on the boat to help cook, and Zhuang Haiyang paid 8,000 yuan a month.
He is only responsible for cooking and doesn’t have to worry about other things. Zhou Yang’s nephew also feels that his income is much higher than being a chef in a small restaurant. When he doesn’t go out to sea, even if he rests at home, he can get this salary on time every month!
In Zhuang Haiyang's words, as long as he goes to sea, he will not forget these crew members while eating meat. Don't look at Zhuang Haiyang taking the big head, but in fact, the risks are borne by Zhuang Haiyang. Isn't it normal for him to really make money?
At least in Zhou Yang's opinion, Zhuang Haiyang's salary is still very kind! If someone thinks that the salary is a bit unsafe, then Zhuang Haiyang will find someone else. In a small town, are you still afraid that you can't find fishermen who know how to go out to sea?
I accompanied Zhou Yang to buy a good trawl and a cage for catching crabs. The remaining daily necessities to be purchased will also be booked with the merchant. When the fishing boat goes to sea tomorrow, the merchant will also send it directly. The merchant can also make a lot of money by purchasing bulk.
The most important thing is that if you have a good relationship, you will have to buy it every time you go overseas. This is also a long-term deal!
When returning to the fishing port wharf, Zhuang Haiyang also instructed: "Uncle Zhou, you should know that when you go to the pier below my house tomorrow, you can still dock this kind of fishing boat with tonnage in my fishing port.
If the weather doesn’t change much in the next few days, then we will go to sea in the afternoon. For lunch, go to my house for a meal, and we will discuss it to go to that sea area. For the first time, it doesn’t matter if we waste some time.”
"Okay! I'll call you again when I go out to sea tomorrow!"
With some daily necessities, Zhuang Haiyang took five comrades back to Nanshan Island with his ship. Seeing the return of the group, Lin Xin and Wu Fang, who were staying on the island, soon learned that their husbands were going to go out to sea tomorrow.
During dinner in the evening, Zhuang Haiyang also said at the right time: "Old Wang, we will probably go out to sea tomorrow, and there are also a few people led by Master Zhou on the boat. At that time, you can learn from them and understand the matter on the boat first.
There is just a saying that I still want to say in advance that we are comrades and brothers, you are willing to come and help me, and I am grateful. But when you arrive on the boat, you can mention it if you have any opinions. But you must obey what I decided.
I know that you will definitely hope to make money when you come here. But I hope that while taking you to make money, you can ensure that you will return safely every time you go out to sea. We have been on the sea, so we should know that there are many risks at sea!"
"Xiaozhuang, don't worry, even if you don't say this, we will do it well!"
"That's fine! I also know that you must be worried about whether you will make money when you go overseas. But I believe that when you go overseas, you will not be so worried when you come back. If conditions permit, we will try to go twice a month in the future.
If you really feel tired, we will take a break and take a break. You also know that I am a person who is very satisfied. You have to make money, but you can't just dive into the money. When it's time to rest, we must also enjoy life."
"You guy, you are just thinking about being lazy before you work. This is not good!"
Wang Yanming, who came here first, knew that Zhuang Haiyang was sometimes very diligent, but sometimes he liked to be a salted fish. He could lie lazily for a day at home. He just thought about Zhuang Haiyang's income, even if he was a salted fish, he would earn more than them.
After dinner was finished, the other comrades returned to the house they chose to rest for. The three single comrades didn't feel anything to worry about. Even their upcoming work was full of expectations.
The two couples living in the same old house must express their feelings after a while. Thinking that their husbands will go out to sea tomorrow, as wives, they must be lies to say no worries.
Facing his newlywed wife, Zhu Junhong also said seriously: "Afang, don't worry, there is a phone number on the boat. If you have time, I will call you to report your safety. Besides, this trip is not long, and nothing will happen!"
"Well! When you get to the sea, you must be safe. You have to know that I'm waiting for you at home!"
Lin Xin also said something like this. For Lin Xin, she was still very satisfied with the salary Zhuang Haiyang paid to the couple. As Wang Yanming said, if you are lucky, you can pay off your foreign debt in one year.
Work for a few more years, maybe when their daughter goes to school, they can go home and concentrate on spending time with their children. If possible, maybe they can have more children. In order to retire earlier, the couple also need to earn more money for retirement!
Only Zhuang Haiyang called Li Zixian, who was far away in Lingnan, and told him that he might go out to the far sea tomorrow. Li Zixian also said with concern: "Then you must be more careful. Remember to call me if you have time."
"Well, don't worry! I will go see you when I have time!"
"It's okay! There are so many things at home now, so it's not convenient for you to run back and forth. I'll come back and forth after a while of vacation."
"Okay! Then that's it! It's really a bit hard to bear if you don't have you around!"
Li Zixian, who could not help but blush, heard the subtext in her words, "Tsk, you bad guy, why are you thinking about doing bad things?"
"Hehe, don't you want to?"
I used the phone call to play with my girlfriend, diverted her attention, saved her from being far away in Lingnan, and was worried about herself. Although it was very dangerous to travel far away from the sea, Zhuang Haiyang had already seen it, and the weather should not change much recently.
