Chapter 230: There are gains and losses
Bei Hai waved his hand at the crowd on the dock, then gently pulled the lever to slow down the ship, ready to dock the boat against the small dock of Pete's Yard.
As soon as the Arrow came ashore, Dominic and Lauren, the two young men on board, went ashore as fast as they could, and then stood on the dock and stumbled a few times, knowing that they were now missing the 'ground' that would not shake when they stood up.
Matt and Qi Yiming looked at the two young sailors and smiled, and then began to get busy.
After turning off all the equipment on the ship, Bei Hai walked out of the bridge and descended the steps to the deck, and then walked to the dock to meet the crowd.
"Excuse me, Pete!" Bei Hai first said hello to the shipyard owner, Pete.
Pete shook hands with Bei Hai and said: "Let's prepare to unload the cargo first, and wait for the catch to be unloaded and directly dragged into the dock for maintenance" Speaking of which, Pete turned his head and glanced at the accident appraisal personnel of the insurance company not far away, and whispered to Bei Hai: "You better let them take a look first."
As soon as Pete's gaze swept over, two insurance claims adjusters walked over to Bei Hai: "Hello Mr. Bei! βγ
The two people Bei Hai only knew one of them, that is, the one who insured himself, whether it was the ship or the life safety of the personnel, Bei Hai had been insured by this company for two years, and after a pleasant greeting, the two claims adjusters went directly on the ship and began to assess the loss of Bei Hai inside and out.
"Why is the ship damaged like this?" Raymond, the designer of the Arrow, said a word and got on board with the people from the insurance company.
Pete was a little embarrassed to explain to Bei Hai after hearing Raymond's words: "That's how these designs are, don't be like him!" I've heard that the storm is very strong, and you and the other ship are the only ones coming back out of several ships. The remaining three are all missing, and you're the most recent! Speaking of which, Pete gave Bei Hai a thumbs up: "Your driving skills are awesome!" βγ
Pete apologized for Raymond first. Then he quickly turned the topic to praising Bei Hai. It stands to reason that Raymond is a bit too much to say this, because although the Arrow was designed by Raymond, it must be a ship of Beihai. How can you drive your own boat, and how much nonsense do you have to go with a designer?
However, Bei Hai is not entangled in this, he is really satisfied with the design of the Arrow, it can be said that in addition to the extra money of such a sturdy hull, Raymond's devotion to the design is also indispensable.
What Bei Hai didn't know was that the Arrow was the most dedicated ship built by Raymond in his life, and Raymond had worked hard for this ship, because Raymond knew in his heart that a high-roller like Bei Hai might only meet once in his life, and if he missed it this time, he might wait for him to kick his legs and leave this world, and no one would give so much money to indulge himself in completing a design.
Raymond has worked hard for decades to design fishing boats, and he has used the Arrow, and the plan alone is a matter of thinking about it. In the end, the most satisfactory one was determined. Coupled with Bei Hai's money, this is the Arrow, an extraordinary perverted ship, and Raymond cherishes this ship as if he were his own child. Now can you not be sad to see that the 'hair' on your child's head is bald?
"The ship is really good!" Bei Hai also praised the workmanship of Pete's shipyard, it is really rare to have such a good watch in such a wind and waves.
Even if Bei Hai's driving skills are good, such as this storm, you give Bei Hai a fiberglass ship, or even if it is an ordinary steel-hulled ship, it will definitely not have such a good result as it is now, only a few radomes and some things on the deck are lost.
"Can you unload the cargo? I've been waiting here for a long time," Benny asked, listening to the two of them as if they were about to flatter each other.
"That's it! Let's start unloading, anyway, you don't have a conflict with the people from the insurance company," Bei Hai finished speaking to Benny, and looked at Benny waved his hand directly at the Mustang and asked, "Asterisk, have all the catches been settled this time?" βγ
"It's all figured out, the check is waiting to be issued to you when you get back" Benny said to Bei Hai, "I don't know if the asterisk is a swordfish ship or a tuna ship now." Tuna has a lot more than last time."
"Isn't that good? Then I'll call Joey right away and ask him to catch less tuna and more swordfish," Bei Hai quipped.
Benny immediately waved his hand when he heard this: "Don't! I have no opinion on the asterisk full fishing tuna! After speaking, he turned his face to his employees and said loudly: "You all hurry up and finish unloading the goods and go back early!" βγ
Benny came from Gloucester and brought two ice trucks just to load the catch of Beihai, and he had to transport it away as soon as he finished loading, and every minute was money for Benny, a businessman.
Bei Hai took out the list he had written out of his pocket and handed it to Pete: "This is the approximate loss I have checked on the ship." You see when we will be able to return to sea? βγ
Pete glanced at it and said: "I don't know much about this, if it's just these failures on the top, it should take three or four days, and I really can't guarantee the rest!" βγ
"Let's do it," Bei Hai said, "It's the fishing season, and it's a day to be able to help grab a day!" βγ
"Okay!" Pete said to Bei Hai, "I'll give you a big time when Raymond comes back." But it's too much to do, and if the keel is damaged or something, then I can't guarantee the time."
Bei Hai nodded and said, "I know this." Let's hope it doesn't bother so much." It doesn't look like it hurts the keel now, but Bei Hai can't say it until it is examined. Having just experienced such a big storm and having been in the storm for more than 20 hours, who can say for sure.
The rest of the day the two watched the Mustang staff and crew unload the ship, chatting quietly about the damage caused by the storm.
There were a total of five ships in the storm this time, and Bei Hai's Arrow was the closest to the center of the storm, and it was a blessing in misfortune that Bei Hai did not strike in the storm. The crew of the other four ships returned to port, still in tatters like beggars, and when the Canadian Coast Guard ships spotted them, the entire deck had been knocked crooked by the wind and waves, and the engine room was directly flooded, and the whole ship was in a semi-sunken state. And this ship is still far from the center of the storm, the people of this ship are working on the deck when the storm starts, and the experienced Canadian captain who is almost fifty years old is thrown directly to the extension cable to return home, or only the only seedling of the Arrow will return.
"The fish are so big!".
Although someone lost his life in this storm, there was neither Portsmouth nor Gloucester, and Pitt and Bei Hai didn't know each other, so naturally there was nothing sad about these people, and the two only sighed a little when they talked, but when Pete saw a large fish of more than 1,000 pounds being hoisted up, he still let out a sigh.
"I haven't seen a big fish like this in seven or eight years!" Pete said happily to Bei Hai.
"How many of these fish did we catch this time?" Bei Hai asked Lauren, who was not far away.
Lauren stretched out his hand to support the fish and said happily: "Captain, there are thirteen in total!" This one isn't the biggest, the biggest one is bigger than this! βγ
The sailors of the Arrow and the staff of the Mustang had seen the unloading of the Arrow, and now although they had immunity for the second time, the employees of the Pitt Shipyard and the claims adjusters of the insurance company had never seen this plane, and they soon gathered around the ship to watch the big fish being hoisted from the frozen cabin of the Arrow.
In a burst of exclamations, the Arrow finished unloading the catch, Bei Hai and Matt, Qi Yiming, and Dominic followed Benny's car back to Gloucester, and Lauren returned to Canada. Because the Arrow requires at least a week of repair to get the entire ship new.
As soon as he returned to Gloucester, he was besieged by Jewish profiteers, and this time the old Jewish bald finally accepted Beihai's terms and began to produce the new fishing gear invented by Beihai in the form of authorized cooperation.
When Bei Hai signed the contract and was smug at home, several guests came to the dock of Pete's shipyard, and these people visited the Arrow in detail under Pete's leadership. Several of them were very surprised by the appearance of the Arrow in the storm this time, and they were all different Cheng DΓΉ interested in the ship type of the Arrow. Of course, these people have not yet made up their minds to build another such ship, but this type of ship has entered the eyes of a group of wealthy shipowners.
Bei Hai didn't know that he didn't remember that he could have a piece of the design patent of the boat type, but now he was no longer in his control because of his own negligence. It can't be said to be negligence, it's that Bei Hai didn't think that the ship type of such a ship would be man-made, so he gave up the patent of the ship type and exchanged some price concessions, but fortunately, even if there are man-made quantities, there are not many of them, if there are thousands of Bei Hai in batches, it is estimated that he will be secretly annoyed.
