Chapter 84: Buying a boat
On the other side, Hawaii is a little far away from China.
Ye Luo was very good at the yacht, moved a few baskets of vegetables from the deck down to the dock, and then said to Mina and let them go shopping by themselves.
I took a taxi to the boat buying company I contacted yesterday.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Luo got out of the car in front of the building of the Poseidon Marine Heavy Industries Group, and he met Willy, a bald middle-aged man.
After greeting each other politely, they followed him to the building and toured their company under the guidance of Willy.
Poseidon Marine Heavy Industries Group ranks among the top three in the world.
There is no doubt that it is a giant, and the various ships sold from this company account for five percent!
Five percent may seem like a small amount, but you must know that the shipyard of Aqua Blue Star is not just Poseidon Marine Heavy Industries Group.
There are no less than dozens of companies that are slightly inferior to them, and there are ten companies that are at the same level as them and even want to compete.
Don't look at the Poseidon Marine Heavy Industry Group is now ranked among the top three in the world, but this position is not stable at all, and it may fall from this position at any time.
Of course, if you want to sit in this position, you will see the technology and quality level of shipbuilding.
In fact, most of the shipbuilding companies in Aqua Blue Star have not thought much about the technical level, the difference is that each of these world's top ten shipbuilding groups has its own research and development technology.
The direction of R&D of each group is different, so it can develop peacefully, otherwise it would have been a mess long ago.
After all, the ocean market of Aqua Blue Star is too big, and it is impossible for even the ten giants to eat this cake.
Even so, the ten Big Macs have eaten almost half of them, and the remaining half, even if they are extremely greedy, can only be divided by the other groups.
Their own family members know their own affairs well, and if they want to eat the other half of the cake in their situation, they will be strangled to death, and they are also afraid that the remaining groups will unite to resist.
Everyone's purpose is to make money, and everyone makes money together, and besides, these giants have already eaten meat, so they have to leave some soup for others.
......
The various yachts, speedboats, ships, fishing boats and other models in the Poseidon Marine Heavy Industry Group are dazzling.
During this period, Ye Luo also asked a lot of questions, and Willey also answered them one by one.
After visiting for a while, Willy took Ye Luo to the reception room.
"Mr. Ye, I don't know what kind of boat you want to buy?" Willy waited for Ye Luo to sit down before asking with a smile on his face.
Ye Luo thought for a while and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet, why don't you introduce me carefully first?"
"Okay, but I'll ask you what your purpose is when you buy the boat, so I can introduce it. ”
Willey agreed as soon as he pleased, and asked Ye Luo for specific uses: "Generally speaking, if you go to sea to fish, I would suggest that you buy a yacht, if it is for fishing, then I suggest that you buy a fishing boat, if it is for transportation, then I must be a freighter." I don't know which one Mr. Ye chooses?"
Isn't it just buying a boat? Why is it so troublesome?
Ye Luo frowned slightly: "Otherwise, I'll tell you about my situation, and you can see which one I should choose?"
"Absolutely. Willy readily agreed, and he was in charge of this part of the job.
Ye Luo said his situation without a trace of hesitation: "Here's the thing, I am an island owner, and the purpose of my boat this time is mainly to transport some vegetables grown on the island back to the market, what kind of boat do you think I should buy?"
Hearing Ye Luo's words, Willy smiled and gave his own suggestion: "If you only need to transport vegetables, then I suggest buying a cargo ship with a small tonnage can solve the problem." ”
"How much does it cost?"
Ye Luo suddenly made a decision in his heart and asked the price directly.
The smile on WELLE's face did not decrease: "The price of low-tonnage cargo ships is generally not high, mainly depending on the performance and configuration, the general price ranges from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and the price will not exceed two million if it is good! After all, we all know that the larger the tonnage, the more expensive the ship, and the most important thing about a cargo ship is its carrying capacity. ”
Ye Luo's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he couldn't help but glance at Willicao, who met for the first time today: "So which one do you think I should buy?"
Willy was slightly stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "I can't help you with your ideas, I can only give you some of my suggestions." ”
"And what about your suggestion?" Ye Luo asked again.
Willy frowned slightly, and instead of answering immediately, he asked an irrelevant question: "I want to ask, will the vegetables grown on your island expand in the future?"
"Yes. Ye Luo replied.
Willy asked again, "Can you tell me what the island's vegetable production is at the moment?"
"No problem. Ye Luo nodded and said: "Because I plant less, all of them should add up to about a few thousand catties, definitely less than ten thousand catties, but in the future, the number will definitely far exceed this weight, and it is estimated that it will definitely increase several times or dozens of times." ”
This weight is roughly derived from the weight of the vegetables, and more importantly, there are five or six hundred large watermelons added to it, you must know that the weight of a watermelon is about forty to fifty catties, which accounts for more than half.
And the remaining few vegetables are actually not much because of the small production, so naturally they will not be much heavier.
Less than 10,000 catties? That is, less than five tons?
A strange look appeared on Willy's face, which was completely beyond his expectations.
Not more, but less!
Ye Luo saw the somewhat strange expression on Willy's face, and chuckled: "I know that these yields are indeed very small, but you must know that I have only tried to grow five kinds of vegetables, and these five vegetables will reach this weight, once the variety of vegetables increases, the yield will naturally become higher at that time." ”
He knew that the vegetable production on his island was indeed a little uncontrollable, but it was only for now, and when he had solved the ship's affairs, he would have time to grow more vegetables.
Seeing that his careful thoughts were seen through by Ye Luo, Wille suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "If this is the case, then I suggest that you buy a cargo ship of about 50 tons, if you buy a cargo ship of 10 tons or 20 tons, then when the time comes, when your vegetable production comes up, you will definitely have to buy a ship with a larger tonnage, which will definitely bring you a lot of trouble." ”
"Instead of that, it's better to buy a ship with a larger tonnage at the beginning, and it will save you a lot of trouble when the time comes. ”
Ye Luo nodded and said, "Okay, just do as you say, what is the price?"
"The price is not expensive, 900,000 is less than a million. Seeing that Ye Luo agreed without any hesitation, Willy couldn't help but be overjoyed, as long as this order was made, then he would be able to get a commission of one percent, that is, more than nine thousand and ten thousand!
God knows that he hasn't sold a boat for a few months, and he can only get a basic salary of less than 2,000 a month, watching others sell ships from time to time to get a relative commission, even if he is envious, he can only watch.
Now he has finally sold a boat, although the draw is only 9,000, but it also makes him excited, and it will take four and a half months to change to the basic salary.
At this time, Ye Luo suddenly remembered that the sea around his island seemed to belong to his own territory, although he did not buy some seafood seedlings from the [Super Mall] and throw them into the sea, but he knew that even if he didn't do this, there would definitely be a lot of fish or other different kinds of seafood living in the sea area that belonged to him.
It's just that these seafood can't be compared with the seafood in the [Super Mall], but no matter what, he makes a lot of money.
Let's just say that the freshwater crescent moon lake on the island is good, and there are so many fish and shrimp living in the lake, which has nothing to do with Ye Luo.
Even if he didn't put it in, there are still such fish and shrimp in the crescent lake.
So how much seafood will there be in the sea in all directions?
No one can say for sure.
In the past, Ye Luo ignored the existence of a sea area, but now that he has reflected, Ye Luo began to pay attention to all kinds of seafood in the sea.
Although he didn't plan to make a profit from catching seafood, he knew he should have a fishing boat.
Thinking of this, Ye Luo asked Willy, "By the way, I want to see the fishing boat, can you tell me about it, or show me some information?"
"I don't know what kind of fishing grounds you'd like to see?" Willy was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
"It's okay, I'll take a look first. Ye Luo said.
"Okay, you wait a minute. ”
Willy spoke, then turned around and took an introduction to all the models of fishing boats: "There are many types of fishing boats, ranging from a few tons to thousands of tons in terms of tonnage, and there are many details in this introduction book, you can take a look at it first." ”
"Good. Ye Luo nodded, opened it and looked at it.
"Good. Shuichi Minamino took it and looked at it.
In fact, Ye Luo didn't know what type of fishing boat he wanted to buy, so he chose to start from a low tonnage and slowly look up.
However, he knows that the bigger the fishing boat, the more expensive it is, and at the same time, the wind and wave resistance and endurance will be greatly enhanced, and the larger the boat, the less likely it is to have accidents.
Ye Luo looked at them one by one, and slowly after Ye Luo looked at more and more styles of fishing boats, he sometimes frowned, sometimes nodded, and sometimes shook his head, but he didn't ask.
And Willy, who was on the side, didn't make a sound to disturb, but his heart was full of nervousness and excitement.
He knew that the previous cargo ship was simply the difference between his son and his father compared to the fishing boat, and even the smallest fishing boat was much more expensive than the cargo ship!
When Ye Luo saw that he had turned to a certain page, he suddenly stopped his movements and looked at the introduction carefully.
The boat is a tuna fishing boat, with a tonnage of 280 tons, a length of 12 meters, a width of 6 meters, a draft of 1.5 meters, a conventional voyage of 16 knots, the fastest voyage of 20 knots, equipped with 20 rod sockets, a crane on the boat and stern, and a diesel motor power of 420 kilowatts.
"How much is this 280-tonnage fishing boat?" Ye Luo asked with shiny eyes.
Willey forcibly held back the excitement in his heart and said: "Mr. Ye, the price of this fishing boat is 4.1 million. ”
At this time, Willy was so excited that he didn't expect Ye Luo to buy two ships at once, and the commission and bonus alone would not add up to at least 100,000.
This is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for him, a person who can only get a basic salary every month!
