Chapter 198: Man Under the Low Eaves

"Hull!".

Bei Hai just took out the car keys and wanted to get into the car, when he heard someone calling him, he turned his head and saw Mel standing five or six meters away from him, smiling at him. Bei Hai didn't notice anything about the smile, but Mel's constipation-like expression made Bei Hai feel sorry for himself.

As for the lawsuit that Mel threatened with before, Bei Hai has not seen a shadow so far, and Bei Hai also believes that this lawsuit is almost impossible to start, because Mel can't win! Not to mention that the ball is not Bei Hai's pet, even if it is, it is wrong for you to run to feed other people's pets without the permission of the owner, and collect money from the owner? I want to die! If this case is sentenced to Bei Hai's compensation, then who would dare to lead the dog to the street and feed a sandwich casually, that is, the Wagyu beef sandwiched inside, the kind of one or two thousand dollars a piece, then the dog owner will not be compensated to death.

What's more, Bei Hai hasn't been in the last two years, and now he has money in his pocket, will he be afraid of this little lawsuit?

"It's been a long time, Hull, why haven't you seen the ball" Mel also wanted to find a topic, and first split the embarrassing things between the two.

"The ball refuses to come back to the port during this time, and I can't starve it anyway when I go around the sea!" Bei Hai said. During this time, Bei Haidu kept the ball in the space, and not letting it jump around on the dock was to prevent Mel's small hand. Although Bei Hai is a bit of a villain in this regard, but the easy thing is done, in case Mel jumps over the wall one day and shoots at the ball, Bei Hai has no place to cry. There was no guarantee that this would happen, and Behai thought that there was nothing wrong with Mel and that he couldn't do anything crazy.

After speaking, Bei Hai waved the key in his hand to Mel: "Is there something wrong?" ”。 This made it clear that if I had nothing to do, I would have to get in the car and go home.

"Something!" Mel said to Bei Hai, "Do you want to rent a boat?" ”。

"Didn't I say I rented it?" Bei Hai pretended to be surprised at Mel.

Mel didn't speak. It's just that he has been looking at Bei Hai like this, and his expression is very strict, but how does Bei Hai look at it, there is still a playfulness in this demeanor.

"Alright! I just can't stand everybody's annoying me. I didn't even have a good Christmas! There is no shadow of the ship! After being looked at by Mel for a while, Bei Hai said truthfully, not to mention how majestic Mel's eyes were. It's that Bei Haidang's own subordinates are defeated, and they really can't be interested in lying about this matter anymore, because they feel ashamed!

"This lie of yours is useless, everyone understands that you didn't rent a boat" Mel looked at Bei Hai and admitted it, his face turned a little better, and he said directly to Bei Hai: "Anyway, all the shipowners under the shipowners' federation have promised that with the conditions you offered, you can't rent a boat!" Because all the Gloucester owners think your request is a bit out of order! ”。

Depend on! Bei Hai patted his head and thought to himself: Why did I forget this thing.

The so-called shipowners' federation is like a trade union organization, except that it protects the interests of shipowners, unlike the shipowners' union, which is oriented to the crew and the shipowner. Apparently Mel meant by this that the shipowners' federation, or at least the owners who had longline fishing vessels to be leased, had reached an agreement within themselves: either they would not rent them. Otherwise, Beihai will play according to the rules that everyone has made before!

Mel looked at Bei Hai in contemplation, very satisfied with the effect of his words, and then continued: "Unless you build a longline fishing boat by yourself this fishing season, it is impossible to rent a longline fishing boat if it is not for your work, at least in the entire New England area."

"Let's talk about it! What are your conditions! Bei Hai looked at Mel, a slight smile hung on the corner of his mouth, waiting for his next step. Mel is a person who can't afford to be early, and now that he has decided to tell himself the price alliance negotiated by the owners of the cable, he must have his own plans.

"The decision of the shipowners alliance is to pay dividends, so the dividends are inevitably just a matter of how much, if you rent my African Elephant. I can reduce the dividend by a minimum of 25 percent, and then I can give you a month to relax the fishing season, start in mid-September, and the boat will be available to you at the beginning of August. That way you also have time to take your new crew to choose tuna fishing, what do you think? ”。

Bei Hai raised his hand and gently knocked on the front of his car to listen to the knocking sound, and couldn't help but think: he was blinded by his own 'wise decision'. I thought that I couldn't take someone to share my income, but why did I forget that there was such a thing as a federation!

Although it doesn't usually make a big difference if you don't see this. But it's not an ornament, and the federations that can collect money in the United States are not ornaments. This kind of union-like organization, not to mention Bei Hai, can't resist, and even the one sitting in the White House doesn't have the courage to offend large and small trade union organizations. Because in the election of politicians large and small, the most 'complicated' part of the funding comes from these unions.

Now what is in front of Bei Hai is no longer the original conditions of Bei Hai, just like Mel said, at least this fishing season Bei Hai will either come according to the decision of the shipowner's association, or what a few crew members will continue to do this season.

People who think that everyone else is stupid are actually the biggest stupid themselves. It's like a while ago, I thought I wouldn't give a penny to these shipowners. Now the facts have given Bei Hai a big ear: you can choose to rent or not, but now you don't have much power to say anything about the price of the charter. Because of the minimum standards that have been set by this stuff industry, others may be able to rent a fixed amount of long-line fishing boats, but you don't have to think about it.

As Oak is Haier, the minimum is 25 percent!

As for saying that you want to be clever and rent a boat somewhere else? Anyway, Bei Hai is not ready to do such a thankless thing, Bei Hai feels that if he does this, the shipowners' federation will be able to let his rented ship out of the port, and then the shipowners' association lawyers will start to sue for unfair competition and the like, and the chances of winning in court are far greater than that of Bei Hai, a person who 'ignores the rules', the Americans are quite re-rules, and they are also willing to uphold the rules, because this is a thing that is beneficial to everyone. Even if you don't win, you will finish the task by the end of the fishing season.

In a way, is this a price alliance monopoly? There is no doubt about it! However, it is a pity that Bei Hai has nowhere to reason, because the fixed amount of boat charter is for those who are new to the industry, or those who need to live on it with a meager income. You don't care about what the others you rent to, now you Bei Hai is not suitable for this article to put it bluntly.

Mel looked at Bei Hai without saying a word, frowning, although there was no expression on his face, but his heart was already happy, and he was happy! As for the cool Cheng dΓΉ, it is really not enough for outsiders.

If it weren't for Mel, he would still want to rent his boat to Bei Hai and make a lot of money with dividends. Mel is going to dance in front of Bei Hai, if Mel is a native of northern Shaanxi, maybe he will twist the enthusiastic Yangge, if he lives on the plateau, he will sing loudly, our serfs will turn over and sing.

Refreshing! It's so cool! Very cool! That's how Mel is feeling right now.

Appreciating the sad look on the face of the old opponent who had been planted twice in a row, Mel decided to choose to break this deadlock, young people sometimes do things very impulsively, in case Bei Hai is annoyed and angry, he will say directly: Lao Tzu will not rent this year! Didn't that immediately throw Mel to Antarctica! As an old businessman, Mel has always put making money first, putting personal honor and disgrace aside, Mel is determined to make money is what a businessman has to consider, as for face or something, it's up to him to go.

"Otherwise, I'll give you another month of rental, but I can't give you any other discounts" Mel said: "After all, we have just cooperated, and we are also acquaintances, although I am said to be very picky, but it is not difficult for you when I collect the ship, it is all others who see my business behind my back to destroy me!" ”。

As Mel said this, he chose to forget about his desire to get the ball in his hands and make a fortune.

Bei Hai thought for a moment and looked up and said, "Anyway, there is still time, I'll think about it again, and I'll notify you when I'm ready." Bei Hai knew that what Mel said above was the truth, if it was to charter a boat, Mel's conditions were really favorable, and other shipowners would not come out more. And even more doesn't make much sense.

Even if you are exempted for a few months, you will continue to use the boat until the fishing season from tomorrow, it seems that you have a boat for free, but the berths of the dock and the insurance premiums and miscellaneous things have to be paid by you.

"Hmmm! Then think about it! Mel said a few words and turned away.

Bei Hai continued to think about it.

"What is Mel doing here?" Diego watched Mel go and leaned over to Bei Hai and asked.

Bei Hai talked about the conversation between the two just now.

Listening to Bei Hai say this, Diego also said: "It's troublesome now, how can the shipowner get involved!" Although it belongs to them, they generally don't care about it, and there must be someone in contact with them, maybe it's Mel."

"It's all like this, and it doesn't make sense for anyone to stir it up," Bei Hai said: "People are under the low eaves!" ”。

"What?" Diego didn't understand Beihai's Chinese people under the low eaves.

"Nothing! I'll go back and think again," Bei Hai said. Although he didn't want to bow his head in his heart, Bei Hai also knew that he was afraid that there was no good way. However, Bei Hai still wanted a little more time to struggle. (To be continued......)
