Chapter VIII Shipbuilding

Lin Tianyu went straight to the service desk in the hotel lobby and said straight to a female employee behind the service desk: "I have something to do with your manager."

After a while, a middle-aged man with golden silk-edged eyes walked out with a smile on his face, walked to Lin Tianyu with a hand and stretched out a hand to shake Lin Tianyu, "My name is Hu Bin, I am the manager of this hotel."

People like him who work in the service industry, no matter how high his position, always have a professional smile on his face, which makes people think that he is the kind of person who is easy to communicate with when they see him.

Hu Bin glanced at Lin Tianyu's dress, very ordinary, and although he was strange in his heart, he did not show any signs on his face, "Is there anything you need to ask me?"

"Of course, I have a business that I want to do with you, but before talking, I would like to ask if your hotel has any business to provide fresh seafood to guests?"

"Of course, our seafood is all shipped by air, which is absolutely fresh, but because of the freight, the price is also relatively expensive. What do you mean?"

"I have a batch of seafood that I want to take, and the freshness is absolutely guaranteed. I brought some samples, you can take a look," he said, opening the plastic box.

The manager is also an expert, and he can tell at a glance that it is not local seafood, "Is this?"

"The Mediterranean thorn crab, also known as the thorn crab, is an edible spider crab. Italians call it tellmekis, which means "long thorn bread". Perhaps because of its ugly appearance, this thing is much better than lobsters. After all, lobsters can be cultivated, and this thing can only be caught in the wild."

Lin Tianyu learned and sold it now, and directly told the information found online, which seemed quite professional.

The lobsters sold in the hotel are basically Australian lobsters. The prices range from about 200 to 1,000 yuan per kilogram depending on their size and freshness. The thorn crabs that Lin Tianyu took out were very fresh and looked like they had just been fished out of the sea, but he was not greedy. They only offered 300 yuan per kilogram. This price is already very cheaper than moderately sized lobsters.

The manager hesitated for a moment and winked at the waiter next to him, "Take this gentleman to sit in the tea room for a while, and I'll come."

After saying that, he smiled at Lin Tianyu as if he was apologized, and turned around and left.

Lin Tianyu was not nervous, and the other party must have to check it out. It was impossible for him to believe it in just a few words. He was taken to a quiet tea room by the waiter, drinking tea, and was not anxious or impatient.

After a while, the manager came back, and there was a guy wearing chef's clothes behind him. After the two sat down, they began to formally discuss the business. Hu Bin had just checked the information until this rare seafood was expensive and was considered a high-end seafood. These days, they were not afraid of high prices but were afraid of low grades. Such rare Western seafood hotels can sell at least thousands or even thousands of yuan each, and they turned over a few times. However, what he cared more was stability. After all, if a few customers sold today and they did not come to eat next time but didn't, wouldn't it be a sign?

When he asked this question, Lin Tianyu nodded, "The supply is absolutely no problem. If your hotel has long-term demand, I can provide you with twenty kilograms of Mediterranean thorn crabs every week."

The manager smiled slightly when he saw that he seemed to have room for anything, "Twenty kilograms are a little less. I don't know what your goods are. If there are too many, we are willing to buy them in large quantities?"

Lin Tianyuxin said that this seafood is not a cabbage, do you still need more than a lot? Although there are a lot of sea crabs on the beach, they are limited after all, but you should be able to catch other seafood in the sea. He hesitated for a moment, "Although it is not 100% certain, 50 kilograms can be provided every week. In addition, there may be some other seafood, which are very fresh. I wonder if you are interested."

The manager nodded, "That's fifty kilograms, no matter how much it's not a big deal. We will acquire them all. As for other seafood, I am willing to acquire them in principle. Of course, the price needs to be negotiated separately."

But what he thought was much more profound than Lin Tianyu. It can be imagined that this rare seafood would definitely be sold well once it appeared in S City. After all, S City is a first-tier city in China, with many rich rich people, not to mention those officials who need to welcome and send it to the public. Fifty kilograms are definitely easy to digest. Even if you can't sell this fresh seafood, you can evenly give it to other hotels. You can add one of the prices. After all, such rare things are rare on the market.

The two quickly agreed on the details. Lin Tianyu provided 50 kilograms of sea crabs every week. If there were other seafood, Wanfeng Hotel also purchased them at the corresponding price.

Lin Tianyu, who had negotiated the business, was in a good mood. Now that his income was settled, he simply decided to give the two crabs to the manager, but the manager politely refused and insisted on paying 600 yuan to buy it.

Lin Tianyu agreed with him that he would bring the crabs in the afternoon. On the way home, Lin Tianyu bought a dozen large plastic boxes. After he got home, he immediately changed into a camouflage uniform and started catching crabs.

Fifty kilograms are converted into a kilogram, which seems to be quite a lot, but these crabs are all big, and one can weigh one or two kilograms, and fifty kilograms are only more than seventy. Lin Tianyu had enough time to catch them without much effort, and he didn't catch them any more. After all, although there are a lot of crabs on the beach, they are not infinite. If you want to sell them for a while, it is better to keep a long flow of water.

He put the more than 70 crabs in five plastic boxes, hired a half-ticket truck to the Wanfeng Hotel.

Inspection, weighing, and some money. Even if a business is completed with little effort, Lin Tianyu still feels unbelievable with the 15,000 yuan he got. The speed of making money is fast. Just like before, it is so tired that it only costs four or five thousand yuan a month. It is a huge difference.

However, if you want to make a long-term business, you still have to make some other plans. After all, the beach is only more than 100 meters long, and the number of crabs is limited. It is estimated that the number and quality of crabs will be greatly reduced after a few rounds. If you want to develop for a long time, it is best to expand the range of seafood. If you can have a fishing boat, it would be better.

It is not easy to buy a small boat in S City, but he did not plan to buy it, but was planning to build one by himself.

The wooden boat is definitely not good. I am not a carpenter and don’t have those two brushes at all. What is the buoyancy and easy assembly?

As he thought about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, yes, just use a gasoline barrel!

In order to prevent leakage and safety considerations, the seal of the gasoline barrel is very tight. The empty gasoline barrel is very strong and has a large buoyancy. If you can build more than a dozen large gasoline barrels into a raft, it will definitely be much better than a wooden boat.

Of course, I have to go to the gas station to buy a gas station. Lin Tianyu found a gas station manager and asked about the price. It was not too expensive. Lin Tianyu asked for twelve gas stations. He heard that he wanted to buy twelve gas tanks. The gas station manager was very surprised. However, seeing that the price he gave was very generous, he didn't ask anything. He happily sold twelve large gas tanks for him.

This immediately cost Lin Tianyu two or three thousand yuan, and this was just the beginning.

He then bought some other things, a two-pound hammer, a six-pound hammer, a two-hundred-meter-long nylon rope, two kilograms of four-inch iron nails, two kilograms of two-inch iron nails, two 1.5-meter-long wooden piles, four long crates, twelve wooden squares, a rotor-type wire collector, a thick plastic mask, a fishing rod set, a hanging fishing net with a float, and an inflatable life jacket.

There are many things here that are quite unpopular. Lin Tianyu also spent a lot of effort to buy them all. He was busy until the evening when he bought all the things and transported them home.

The next day he started construction and sent everything to the island. Then the first thing he had to do was to build a ship. Strictly speaking, what he built should be called a raft. He had already made a raft design. He first arranged twelve gasoline barrels in four vertical and three rows, and kept a distance of one meter between rows. In this way, the base of the entire raft became a square shape about five meters square.

First tie up the six long wooden squares in groups and three-long gasoline barrels, which will become three long floats, and then use the other six long wooden squares to nail the three long floats horizontally, so that the prototype of a raft will be done.

Next he took out all the crates, filled the strips of the strips into the gap between the horizontal wooden squares as a deck, and nailed them to death with nails. By noon, such a raft was ready.

It was already noon after finishing all this. Lin Tianyu had lunch, rested for a while and then started working.

What he wanted to do next was to nail wooden stakes. Because he had no experience in rowing, he decided to nail a wooden stake on the shore, and used a nylon rope to connect the wooden stakes on the raft with the wooden stakes on the shore. After the fish was caught, he just needed to grab the rope and drag the raft back to the shore.

The sand on the beach was too soft, so he had to nail wooden stakes far from the shore. He first used an engineer shovel to shovel a layer of soft sand on the flat ground, and then stood the stakes on the ground and began to smash them down fiercely with a six-pound hammer.

He had never done this job before, and he almost dripped his waist as soon as he got up. Fortunately, after doing such a whole morning, he had some experience in grasping the strength. After estimating it, he continued to smash it down and smashed it dozens of times until only half of the wooden stake was exposed outside.

He tied another wooden stake to the raft, tied the rotary-type wire retractor on the side, then tied the two hundred-meter-long nylon ropes on two wooden stakes, and then used the wire retractor to wrap the ropes on the boat. This raft, which cost more than 5,000 yuan, was built.
