Chapter 413: Buying Fishing Boats

Listening to his father's words, Henry felt a little apprehensive. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Anyway, he now thinks that Shuichi Minamino just took shit luck to find this kind of big oil field! But now that things are like this, he has to pinch his nose and admit it. He is a man of his word and does not want outsiders to see jokes. Besides, although he is not very satisfied with the young man Minamino Shuichi, he should still be qualified to marry his daughter if he cultivates it.

After everything was done, Shuichi Minamino did not go back to Hokkaido, but stayed in Los Angeles to do something. Now that Shuichi Minamino owns a 40 percent stake in the Prudhoe Bay oil field, he has now become an upstart in the US imperialist oil circle. After all, this is a big oil field, and there are several or even more oil fields at the top of one oil field.

In particular, such large oil fields can be developed for decades before they are exhausted.

"Now with the loan that Loki promised, I don't have to worry about money for real estate and car company development and expansion. My $100 million or so can be freed up for other things. Minamino Shuichi said secretly in his heart. He had more than $100 million in his bank, which he intended to use to continue to develop real estate and expand the car company. But now that he had a loan from Loki, he didn't need it. Real estate and automotive companies are using loans to develop and expand. With more than 100 million dollars, he can do something else. For example, the development of its own fishing company.

It's 1956, and in a few years the Hokkaido fishing grounds will enter the golden ocean fishing period, and he will have to win the whole market. With his current capital, as well as dividends from the subsequent oil fields, his goal of becoming the owner of Hokkaido's fishing grounds should not be too far away.

When the time comes, the Hokkaido fishing grounds will want him to have the final say!

What we want is such a lofty and great ideal.

"It should be okay to buy a fishing boat directly from the shipbuilding company under the Morgan consortium, maybe my brother-in-law can give me a little discount!" Shuichi Minamino thought to himself.

This time, Shuichi Minamino plans to buy fishing boats like crazy, and he has money now anyway!

Originally, he had a total of 37 fishing boats, but now he plans to increase them to 100! Build a super-powerful distant-water fishing fleet.

"Let's buy another 60 fishing boats." Shuichi Minamino decided after thinking about it.

"60? Could it be too much? Iloti asked, a little dumbfounded.

"Not much! I'm going to be in the transportation industry in the future! ”

100 fishing boats may seem like a big fishing company to outsiders. But in the eyes of Minamino Shuichi, it is not huge. You have to know how many large ships are in the name of the world's ship kings. There are even more than 10,000 tonnage, what did he calculate?

Most of his fishing boats are 500 to 1,000 tons, and many of them are even two or three hundred tons. Compared with the large tonnage of the world's ship king, it is still much worse.

As the king of the world's ships, it not only operates ocean transportation, but also includes fishing, passenger transportation and so on. Now Shuichi Minamino is only in contact with the fishing industry.

In the coming decades, the pie of ocean shipping will be absolutely huge! As you can imagine, all kinds of trade, all kinds of purchases in various countries are transported by sea. So you can imagine what a huge pie the ocean shipping industry really is. Of course, Shuichi Minamino also wants a piece of the pie.

As for air transport? Just kidding, which local tyrant transports a large amount of goods by plane? Only a country can do such a luxurious thing.

"60 fishing boats, what kind of fishing boats should I buy~"

"15 trawlers, 10 purse seine vessels, 10 longline vessels, 5 shrimp fishing vessels, 10 whaling vessels, 5 crab fishing vessels, 5 combined fishing vessels." After thinking about it carefully, Minamino Shuichi decided what kind of fishing boat he wanted to buy.

The 15 trawlers are all 1,000 tonnage, the 10 purse seine vessels are 500 to 800 tonnage, the shrimp fishing vessels are all 300 tonnage, and the 10 whaling vessels are all 1,000 tonnage. The five crab fishing boats are all of 250 tonnage, and the last five combined fishing boats are all of 1,000 tonnage.

In 1956, the price of a 1,000-tonnage trawler was US$150,000, an 800-tonnage purse seine was US$130,000, and a 300-tonnage shrimp fishing vessel was US$70,000. The 1,000-tonnage whaling vessel is $160,000 per ship. The 1,000-tonnage comprehensive fishing vessel is also 160,000 US dollars each. As for the 250-tonnage crab fishing boat, it is $60,000 each.

In the end, it cost a total of $6.6 million!

It's another big purchase! Dollars are worth a lot of money these days. 6.6 million was spent at once, which is not a small amount.

But the money was well spent, because Shuichi Minamino had to expand his distant-water fishing fleet. And it's also a comprehensive type.

These orders were all given to the shipbuilding company on Rocky's side. However, there is no existing ship, and the small tonnage can be delivered in more than half a year, and the large tonnage can be delivered for more than a year! For these Minamino Shuichi expressed understanding. After all, shipbuilding is not about building cars, it takes time.

After doing this, Minamino Shuichi plans to play with Iloti here for a few days before returning to Hokkaido.

Here, what Shuichi Minamino feels the most is the cocktail party! Anyway, the nobles here like to hold a drinking party, a ball, or a banquet if they have nothing to do. Invite a large group of people to drink, dance, chat, and fart.

All of them are dressed up to attend, and all of them are aristocratic etiquette, anyway, Shuichi Minamino is not very interested in these.

However, Iloti did not return for a long time, and when she did, she was dragged by a large group of her girlfriends to various balls. To participate in the prom drinking party, you must have a dance partner, so Shuichi Minamino can only be pulled by Iloti.

No, this night, Minamino Shuichi was dragged by Iloti to attend a ball again, it seems that it is still an exclusive ball for the second generation of the aristocratic circle, and no elders appear, all of them are young noble sons and daughters.

"These noble ladies are really idle!" Shuichi Minamino shook his head.

Because Iloti's identity is big enough, as soon as she came in, she was surrounded by a large group of noble girls and didn't know what to do.

Of course, there are still a lot of aristocratic sons and buddies who want to make Yoeloti, but they can't break through that group of aristocratic ladies at all.

He wasn't interested in anything like that, he sat in a corner and turned on the sensor, just knowing that Iloti was okay. If someone dares to do something bad to their own woman. He's going to break each other's legs!
