The dock was full of boats.

There is also a large ship covered with black cloth on the dock next door, and the protruding circular marks look like a fort.

There is an orange-red fishing boat with a white painting on the hull of the word "Big-penguin", three black lines underneath, and several iron steel frames on the deck, also orange-red.

"It has only been in the water for two months, only opened a few times during the inspection period, it is 42.5 meters long, 8.2 meters wide and 2.6 meters deep, and it may be difficult to enter the shallow waters, about five nautical miles offshore, and there are many natural harbors near the Monterey Peninsula, which are easy to dock and rich in fishery resources.

The main engine has a power of 438 horsepower, a speed of 14 knots, and can carry 18 sailors, so there are so many lounges arranged, and if you want, you can add a few more. ”

Arriving at the dock, Rodriguez shouted to the workers on the shore who were carrying things, "Come here! We're going to get on this boat!"

Han Xuan looked up at the Big Penguin.

The one that is four meters high above the water, the new ship has no rust, and the speed of 14 knots is about 25.9 kilometers per hour.

Workers came to help pull down the folding stairs and board the fishing boat, which was eight meters wide and more than 20 meters wide, with a two-story sailor's living quarters at the stern and a wheelhouse.

"The Big Penguin was fitted with nine sets of nets at the request of the customizer, with a height of 45 meters and a width of 80 meters, and a mesh of 54 millimeters for small fish.

The maximum speed against the wind is 12 knots, and the maximum speed against the wind and water is 10.5 knots, and trawls, fixed nets, and purse seine nets can be used, and the functions are very complete. ”

Han Xuan raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself why he hadn't found an experienced fisherman just now, and asked, "Is it suitable for my fishing ground?"

“…… Of course. Otherwise, why is it called a fishing boat?"

Rodriguez joked, hearing that something was wrong, and continued, "Your fishing ground is quite large, it is absolutely suitable for the open sea, and the larger the boat, the less affected by the wind and waves." People are more comfortable on it, the Big Penguin is all made of alloy, the surface is coated with zinc, the life is longer than that of ordinary fishing boats, and it can be used for more than 20 years if it is well maintained. ”

"And the fishing boats that fish inshore? Please show me, sir." Han Xuan came out of the living area, the decoration was not bad, the kitchen, toilet, and bathroom were all equipped, and a room was left as a lounge. There are sofas and so on.

"There are several small fishing vessels that are used for coastal fishing, and we have developed a new type of shellfish harvester that can collect about 150 kilograms of scallops per hour with a damage rate of no more than 3%.

When used in conjunction with trawling, you can catch shellfish that cling to the bottom of the sea. ”

Rodriguez led them to a white fishing boat, in its early twenties and about five meters wide.

Han Xuan heard him say that the tonnage was only fifty tons. It's a lot smaller than the Big Penguin, and the steel plate is noticeably thinner to the touch.

"It takes four months to make it. There are special requirements, and the time is a little longer. ”

"Mr. Rodriguez, what about the price, how much does it cost compared to the Big Penguin?"

"The Big Penguin cost 870,000 yuan, those seine nets cost nearly 9,000 dollars, and the buyer paid a deposit of 150,000 yuan. For more than two months, I haven't answered the phone and has defaulted.

I can count you cheaper, just pay for the fishing boats, and the nets will be sent.

The small fishing boat cost 190,000 yuan. There is another one in front that costs 230,000 US dollars, and the selection configuration is different, the one is coated with zinc on the outside, and the iron plate is thicker. ”

Han Xuan didn't expect the price to be so low, and Mr. Paulson, the majority shareholder of Gulfstream Aerospace, spent more than $13 million on a yacht produced by Riva.

Thinking about the difference between the two grades, he smiled: "Okay, I bought the Big Penguin."

Please help me ask the owner of the small fishing boat, add him 50,000 yuan, can you give me the boat first, preferably the one for 230,000 dollars, if he wants to sell it, I can buy it for 300,000 dollars. ”

"300,000 to buy it?" Rodriguez looked at Han Xuan with the eyes of a loser, it was strange enough to buy a ship at such a young age, but he actually spent an extra 70,000 dollars in order to save a few months.

Seeing the boy's indifferent expression, he knew that he might have met the second generation of Hao who was not afraid of spending money, so he nodded and agreed: "I'll go directly to contact the buyer of another one, and when I came to buy a fishing boat, I thought he would be very happy to encounter this kind of thing."

The government will subsidize another 7%, I will make a phone call first, loan or cash payment?"

"Cash, I have to trouble you to find a few people to help me drive the boat to Monterey Bay, and the cost will be calculated. ”

"It doesn't cost a lot of money, our company has its own people, free to help you send over, more than 600 square kilometers of fishing grounds, these two boats alone may not be busy, if you need it, please contact me." ”

"Well, thank you......"

Let them see for themselves on the fishing boat, and Rodriguez goes to the office to make a call.

Today the sea is windy, and the boat swings with the waves.

The waves crashed against the rocky shore of the pier, splashing the mist, clinging to a cloud of seaweed on the bottom of the boat, and a crab spitting bubbles inside.

Han Xuan boarded the boat and took a closer look at the small fishing boat that cost 230,000 yuan, it was indeed better than the one just now, and the role was not clear, so it could only be said that it was good-looking.

I don't know how to learn from experts, someone sets a fishing boat naturally because it is practical, it is better than pretending to understand it yourself, and it is better to buy it blindly, 70,000 US dollars, Ganbao Marine Ranch has not been fished for so many years, and a month is enough to earn it back.

The shipyard sales clerk named Laili, who had been following them, pinned her hair, which had been blown by the sea breeze, to the back of her head, "Have you decided what to name them? ”

Han Xuan looked back at the orange fishing boat on the dock and said, "Let's call it the Big Penguin, if he is willing to sell this one, the name will be changed to the Little Penguin, I don't like his wife's name." ”

"How do you know it's his wife?"

"Please, do you want to name the ship after ******?"

"Poof!"

Next to him, Harris was used to hearing large numbers today, and felt that his heart had become stronger, and he didn't care and asked, "Shall we take a boat to San Francisco?"

"It's more than a thousand kilometers, and it takes two days to get to San Francisco day and night, and helicopters, more than six hours. ”

Han Xuan raised his wrist and looked at the time, it was close to four o'clock in the afternoon, and the animal police station would close in two hours.

Said to Riley: "I've seen it almost, where is Rodriguez's office?"

"Please follow me this way. ”

Come to the shipyard office building.

It took more than 20 minutes to get the contract, sign a check for $1.15 million to Rodriguez, and collect the receipt, Han Xuan said: "Ganbao Marine Ranch, California, please send the boat there." ”

"I'll send it over as soon as I get the formalities done!" Rodriguez said loudly with a bright smile.

Who could not be happy that the 3% commission fell into his hands, and the owner of the small fishing boat only added 20,000 US dollars to him and agreed to return the money?

Of course not, the Tacoma shipyard used to be a military-industrial enterprise, and it was finally converted to civilian use, how can it be done without making money (to be continued.) )
