Chapter 289: Chartering a Ship!
Bei Hai had an idea in his heart, and when he returned to the hot spring hotel, he passed through Kenta Takeno and Yumi Asai himself, and this time the investigation was over, and everyone was ready to go back to Tokyo, and Bei Hai naturally went back to the United States directly. Kenta Takeno and Yumi Asai naturally went back to their respective homes. Because then there's the hard part of the whole thing, finding a boat! This time, it seems that the boat that is dozens of meters long can no longer meet the requirements of Beihai, and the largest catch in the shortest time is the baton, and this fishing boat must be a breakthrough.
Before returning to the hotel, Bei Hai had already told the two of them about this, and it just so happened that now that he had set off to Muchino, he could catch the last flight to Tokyo today, and as soon as he heard the news, Bei Hai naturally made a decision and immediately rushed to Mutsu City and then flew to Tokyo.
This trip to Japan can be said to be in a hurry.
When he got out of Boston Airport, Bei Hai saw Li Weiwei looking at the exit and looking at his head, and immediately showed an excited smile on his face after discovering himself, and waved vigorously to Bei Hai on tiptoe.
Seeing that as soon as Bei Hai came out of the passage, Li Weiwei immediately walked to Bei Hai's side, picked up Bei Hai's arm and asked, "Why do you look so tired?" ”。
Bei Hai smiled and said: "It's a ghost if you're not tired, I basically haven't slept well for more than two days, either on the plane or on the way to the airport!" When I got on the bus, I squinted for a while, but I couldn't stand it, and when I came back, there was still an electric drill next to me, and I was half-asleep and half-awake."
Li Weiwei heard this and immediately asked, "Why don't you buy first class?" ”。
"You still need to say it!" Bei Hai said while dragging his suitcase with Li Weiwei's other hand towards the airport gate: "If I can buy it, I will still use your little pony afterthought?" ”。
Although Bei Hai said that he was an afterthought, Li Weiwei was still very happy, because now Li Weiwei felt that Bei Hai did not have the perfunctory sense he had before, and it seemed that this trip to Japan had crossed a small hurdle in his relationship with Bei Hai.
"What do you play in Japan?" Li Weiwei, who was in a good mood, immediately asked about Bei Hai's experience in Japan.
Bei Hai didn't have anything to do here, so he picked it up and said something that sounded a little interesting. Of course, the old man Bei Hai won't say anything.
After arriving at the parking lot, Bei Hai saw Li Weiwei driving his own car and asked, "How is it, it's great."
"I don't think it's as good as Camero!" Li Weiwei opened the car door as he spoke: "Let's go directly to your house!" ”。
"No classes in the next few days?" After Bei Hai got into the car, he put on his seat belt and asked Li Weiwei.
"There were no classes for almost a week. Just go to your place to relax," Li Wei started the engine and drove the car out of the parking space before he finished speaking.
Just go, Bei Hai can still say that he can't stop it? After getting into the car and chatting for a few words, Bei Hai shrank his head and began to doze. After a while, he fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes again, the car had already gotten off the highway and was moving cautiously towards home under the driving of Li Weiwei.
Back at home, Bei Hai didn't have to do any work, Li Weiwei was busy getting a little food for the two, and then the two went back to their rooms to sleep. Bei Hai went back to the house but couldn't sleep, and after sleeping for a while, he got up and began to think about how to talk about fishing with Arai Toshinori tomorrow, as for whether Arai Toshinori would agree that Bei Hai would also catch all the fish in Oma Town this year, it was not in Bei Hai's consideration at all, and besides, Arai Toshinori was born in Osaka, and his creed was not to be loyal to the emperor but to his own interests. And now Arai's interests can be said to have a great relationship with the catch of Beihai, of course, you can't just let Arai Lize work in vain, and Beihai still has to come out at a small price.
Early the next morning, before nine o'clock, Bei Hai drove a pickup truck to the villa in Arai Lenize to discuss the matter of renting a boat.
When he arrived at Arai's house, Bei Hai stopped the car and asked the housekeeper who came to greet him, "Has Mr. Arai gotten up?" ”。
"Sir has gotten up, and now he is talking to Mr. Benny, just told me that you are here, just go in directly" The butler raised his hand to Bei Hai and motioned to enter through the door over there.
Bei Haiyi entered the gate, and after passing through a small door, he heard Arai Toshinori's voice ringing, and it seemed that the old man was very happy.
"What are you so happy about?" As soon as Bei Hai walked to the door, a servant standing by the door helped Bei Hai open the small door of the Japanese style, and Bei Hai looked at Arai Toshinori and asked with a smile.
"Pei Jun, please!" Arai saw that the smile on Bei Hai's face was even better, and waved at Bei Hai to signal Bei Hai to speak.
Arai's villa is Japanese-style, and now the two are sitting on a stepping rice and chatting while drinking tea. There is also a Japanese girl in a kimono next to her who is serving tea, and it is estimated that it is a tea ceremony or not.
"You two are so interested," Bei Hai said jokingly as he sat down cross-legged and took a sip of his tea, joking to Arai Toshinori and Benny.
Benny listened and replied to Bei Hai: "We still have to work this fishing season, where can you lie down and count the money now!" ”。
"Lie down what lie down! I came to Mr. Arai this time to ask him for a favor, to help me rent a purse seine fishing boat, and I want to try my luck near Japan," Bei Hai said his plan straight to the point. There is no interest in detouring with Arai Toshinori, and of course he can avoid Benny.
Arai Toshinori listened and thought for a while and said, "It's difficult! ”。
Bei Hai also knew that it was difficult, otherwise he would not have found the head snake of Arai. It's fishing season, and the owners of purse seine boats are counting the tickets, and who is willing to put down their business and rent the boat to outsiders. Of course, this is not a decisive thing, as long as Bei Hai pays for it. Not to mention that there are people who rent and sell boats!
"I know it's difficult, but you still have to help me think of a way," Bei Hai said. After speaking, he talked about his minimum requirements for fishing boats: "...... There are not too many requirements for the size of the boat, I want the length of the purse seine net to be more than 2,000 meters, the net depth should be about 300 meters, and the speed of the ship should not be less than 16 knots."
The purse seine fishing boat that Bei Hai wants is not an ordinary small fishing boat, drag a small motor behind it, and then pull a small net.
Beihai wants to rent the most advanced purse seine fishing boats in various countries at present, and it is estimated that there are only a dozen or twenty such boats in the whole of China, and it is only two or three years for China to produce such fishing boats by itself. As an old developed capitalist country, Japan's ability to design and build fishing boats is a cut above that of its domestic counterparts, and although such fishing boats are not widely seen in Japan, they will never be as close to a dozen as they are in Japan.
Of course, there are only a lot more American fishing boats than Japan, but if American ships sail to Japan, it will be a big project for Beihai, and it will have to cross the Pacific Ocean twice! Bei Hai is not in the mood to spend time in the Pacific Ocean, preferring to spend a little more money than to drive a fishing boat and have nothing to do across the Pacific Ocean.
"It's hard!" Arai listened to Bei Hai's request, and his brows were deeply locked for three points.
"It's really hard!" Benny listened to Bei Hai's request and said directly: "The boat you want can't be used by ordinary private people at all, it's all in the hands of ocean-going fishing companies, and these companies are really not easy to deal with!" ”。
Not to mention anything else, it can meet the requirements of Bei Hai, and such a ship must be at least about 80 meters in length and about 14 or 5 meters in width. Such a boat is not even owned by ordinary small distant-water fishing companies, not to mention the cost and technical content is also top-notch.
"Well, if there is a catch this time, you Arai will have the right of first refusal!" Bei Hai also knows that this thing is difficult to do, he is rich, but the bosses of these large ocean-going companies are not poor, the price is less, they are not willing to the price, if the price is too high, Bei Hai will not be able to bear it.
Arai Toshinori was very moved when he heard this, and after thinking about it for a while, he shook his head and said, "It's still difficult!" ”。
When Bei Hai came back from Japan, he had a good conversation with Arai before he first ventilated himself, and Arai began to inquire about this matter, and it was very simple to say, there were such purse seine boats, and there were so many families, and they would know who had and who didn't have them when they asked one by one. Now that I've asked for most of the time, I haven't revealed that I want to rent out my boat this season, and there are even some people who say strange things directly to the people of Arai Izeteto, such as that we are not a charter company or something.
Bei Hai thought that Arai Rinori still wanted more benefits here, so he simply opened up and said: "I am very confident this time!" If you can help me charter a boat, if nothing else, the right of first refusal I promised you will make Arai a little bit of a worry in the market next year! ”。
Arai understood this and asked directly, "Are you going to use a purse seine boat to catch big fish?" ”。
"What interest do I have in catching small fish and seedlings!" Bei Hai said with a smile.
"Can I buy shares?" Benny's eyes immediately lit up with golden light, and he looked at Bei Hai in a daze and asked.
Bei Hai smiled and didn't answer Benny's question, of course, this also shows Bei Hai's attitude, Arai Toshinori also wants to buy shares, but what he prefers is Bei Hai's right of first refusal.
"How long are you going to fish, how many days are you going to go out to sea, and how much fish are you expected to catch?" Arai asked again.
Bei Hai said: "It's about 1,300 tons, and my estimate is three to four weeks!" ”。
Arai Toshinori heard Bei Hai say this, and immediately opened his mouth and said, "Leave the matter of renting a ship to me!" ”。 (To be continued......)
