Chapter 203: Everything is ready
On the dock, Bei Hai has not waited for George at present, and there are a lot of unrelated people, and even Crick, who has always been in Bei Hai's opinion, has gathered on the dock to wait for George's star to arrive. △ Top novel, www. Not to mention Diego and Isse and Joey, the crew of the new ship is not only Matt's son but also Lauren? Engels was more than halfway there.
If you have a good relationship with Bei Hai, you will get to Bei Hai's side, and if you have nothing to do with Bei Hai, you will stand with a good group of three or five, anyway, there are no less than 50 people in the east and west, and it is already a great thing to be able to get so many people in the town, even if Oba Black Horse comes over, there may not be so many people around, of course, his bodyguards can't be counted as heads.
The first time the asterisk entered the port, there was no fixed berth in Gloucester Harbour, so it could only be moored at the temporary berth at the entrance to the port for the time being, and the temporary berth pier could directly see the ships entering and leaving the port, so that a group of people stood on the pier and waited for the asterisk to come in.
"It's coming! Here it comes! "Although Joey is old, his eyes are very good, and he first noticed that he entered the port with an asterisk of a maple leaf flag on his head.
Behai watched as the Star sailed into the harbor, and the nearest ship next to the Star was the first to whistle, although it was a brief, but the captain showed enough respect to the legendary George, and then a flute of whistles sounded.
Bei Hai didn't expect such a scene when George entered the port, and couldn't help but sigh: "I really can't imagine that George's charm is so great."
"A generation of legends!" Diego said to Bei Hai: "Don't talk about his time, even his name is remembered by all fishermen in their forties and upwards, because when we were young, we all regarded him as our goal." It's not nice to say, I even dream of him at night, and bring a boatload of fish back to the docks! Although there are quite a few ships called asterisks. But there is only one longline fishing vessel in the whole of Canada and the East Coast of the United States! No one else is qualified to call an asterisk! ”。
Bei Hai turned his head to look at Diego's face. I'm very excited, almost like I saw fans waiting for idols at the airport on TV, although Diego and these people are not as crazy as those little girls and boys, but from the tone of Diego's words, it is a heartfelt respect for George.
Watching the star dock, old George's stopping technique was still very good, the tail swinged like this and then the bow swung so slightly, and the side of the ship leaned against the dock. The ship is large and the side of the ship is also high, and going up and down the dock from the asterisk is not like a corrugated number or a network number, and there is a ladder, just go up and down.
"Next!" George threw the cable ashore. Motioned to Bei Hai to connect the cable.
Bei Hai hadn't moved yet, and Joey stepped forward to take the cable and began to tie it up.
After the two cables were bolted, George went up to the pier and waved hello to the people on the pier, and everyone came up at this time, shook hands with George one by one, and then praised them twice. Everyone didn't do anything else, they just came one by one, and then they felt like they were scattered.
George took Bei Hai to visit his asterisk.
"How?" George took Bei Hai around and said to Bei Hai very proudly, the expression on the old man's face was very interesting, as if to say: Come and praise me! Come and praise me!
Bei Hai has to say that the asterisk is very well maintained, although it is more than ten years and almost twenty years old, the ship still looks like it is ninety percent new. There was no dust in some of the dead corners of the cabin, and the paint had not fallen off, and there was no salt stain of seawater left, and there was no major wear on the hooks of the tethers, but the sense of time could still be seen on some commonly used things. For example, the rudder.
Nowadays, the hatch plate is generally two-spoke (two ribs), and the design is very elaborate and beautiful, and the old-fashioned rudder wheel is three-spoken. It's straight and straight, like a Mercedes-Benz logo, but the handmade pattern on the old-fashioned steering wheel is still quite beautiful.
Such a thing is not old in the eyes of the Americans. This is called an absolute good thing with historical precipitation. Not to mention the copper decorations that can be found everywhere on the Star ship. The cost of such a ship may not be as high as that of Beihai's customized ship, but it is definitely more than double the price of the general cable extension ship. Other cable extensions can only sell scrap iron after they are scrapped.
If Beihai's new ship and the asterisk are scrapped at the same time, the ship will be at least 30% more expensive than the new ship even if it is sent to the folding shipyard for dismantling. Because there are a lot of elaborate copper parts on it, as for the new ship, it is a worthless thing except iron or iron.
"Great!" Bei Hai nodded and said sincerely. Joy Beihai didn't expect him to ask any questions, because this old man had been in a state of mind since he got on the boat, and he was touching and rubbing there, like an old man who saw a silver ingot, and his eyes were about to glow green, and there was any suggestion there!
"Of course! My asterisk is the best ship! It's just that he hasn't been worthy of his captain! George said.
"Don't worry, I won't let it down, I will definitely let it back to Hong Kong after it is full," Bei Hai said confidently.
"I hope so!" After George finished speaking, he took out a copy of the text from the bag he was carrying and sent it to Bei Hai: "This is something drafted by my lawyer, just look for a lawyer to see and sign it!" George said.
"Come and sit at my house," Bei Hai invited George.
George looked at the watch in his hand and said, "Forget it! I also asked someone to have fun with me and get a feel for the life of young people. I don't have time to talk to someone as boring as you, so let's talk on my cruise ship when we have time."
Hearing George say that he was going to Boston, Bei Hai said: "Then I'll go with you, just find my lawyer to look at this contract, and I can rest assured if I sign it earlier!" ”。
In addition to George's and Arai's, the two contracts were meant to be seen by the lawyer, and this time they happened to do these two things together.
"Okay! Leaving now? George seemed anxious.
Bei Hai looked at the old man and felt that the little girl he wanted to see didn't know how to be charming, and immediately said, "Let's go now!" ”。
After saying that, he turned his head to Joey and ordered, nothing more than arranging a new space for the asterisk, a little closer to the parking lot, and so on.
"Don't worry, Captain. I'll take care of it," Joey said, patting the hull of the boat and reassuring Bei Hai.
Hearing what Joey said, Bei Hai nodded and took George to get into his pickup truck and drive towards Boston.
As soon as he arrived in Boston, George Sr. couldn't wait to break up with Bei Hai. I called a taxi and left, and Bei Hai of course went to the law firm to find a lawyer to read the contract.
Now Bei Hai's lawyer is no longer Quincy. As a famous lawyer in a civil dispute, he didn't want to take on a small case like Bei Hai's view of the contract, and as soon as the lawsuit was over, Quincy politely refused Bei Hai's desire to invite him to be his personal lawyer, and recommended Catherine, who had just turned from an assistant lawyer to a lawyer. In other words, Bei Hai's personal lawyer is Catherine now.
There were no problems with both contracts, and Bei Hai happily signed his name and handed the other one back to George and Arai Toshinori.
On the fourth day after receiving the new number, Bei Hai came out alone on the asterisk, and when he returned, he brought back a 432-pound yellowfin tuna, breaking the previous fisherman's record in one fell swoop. As a member of the fishing association, Bei Hai naturally applied for a million-dollar prize with his catch.
Certification is simple. It mainly depends on whether you catch it independently, and there is no objection to this. Because Bei Hai is the only one on the ship, in the eyes of others, even if you want to find someone to help in the vast sea, Bei Hai can't find anyone! Although the bonus has not yet arrived, it is basically a real deal, and the difference is that there is only an interval of three or four months. Although he didn't get a million dollars immediately, such a high prize still made many headlines in the newspapers of Beihai.
Next, Bei Hai directly focused on his own layout and the study of the fish in the space, of course, he also drove the asterisk to go to sea for ten or twenty days in a row to study the behavior of these fish in the sea. It is easier to say that Bei Hai is more convenient to study than professionals, because Bei Hai can clearly 'see' what fritters, leather balls, earth dogs and trick-or-treaters see, and can also share the images in their heads.
The more you know about Yubeihai, the more far-reaching you look at your plan. For a whole few months, except for a lunar year in the middle of the year, he got together with his family, Bei Hai either buried his head at home or floated on the sea, and the result was about the mutated fish habits in his own space, and he wrote down five whole notebooks in a whole category. It's almost 200,000 words! As soon as such a thing is written, Bei Hai is directly an expert in fishing habits.
In terms of the habits of their own space fish, Bei Hai also formulated a new space bluefin tuna fishing method, and it cost nearly 400,000 US dollars just to have the fishing tackle company design and verify their new fishing tackle. In addition, in order to better match their new fishing methods, they modified their new boats and improved the technological level of the asterisk. At the start of the second fishing season in Beihai, there were just under $100,000 left in the entire account. Within a year, nearly four million dollars were thrown out by Bei Hai. The main thing is that it was spent on two ships.
'Mad Hull' This is the new nickname given to Bei Hai by the Gloucester fishermen, two boats cost four million, and one boat is given away for free, if Bei Hai can't make any money this fishing season, the only way to wait for Bei Hai is to declare bankruptcy. And it would have to earn at least 1.2 million, if it weren't for the advance payment of the Arai Company and the price of the asterisk, Bei Hai would have been forced bankrupt.
A new way to fish? Everyone listened to it and hung it, if it was someone else's gang of fishermen, they would have laughed at it a long time ago, but everyone who got it out of Bei Hai would have looked at the situation first, and then laughed when they failed! Of course, if you succeed, you can follow up!
Bei Hai's newly ordered boat was launched a month and a half before the start of the fishing season, not because the shipyard did not work hard, but because Bei Hai has been making small changes and then adding the installation of some special equipment, it has been delayed for two more months.
The ship is very good, Bei Hai is very satisfied, and Bei Hai, who has money, directly replaced the big engine, and now the speed is twenty-two knots. Bei Hai named the Arrow!
Now Bei Hai feels that he has everything ready, and he only owes the catch! And the fishing season is also coming towards the sea day by day. (To be continued......) R527
