Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng chatted, went to the reception area, and lay on the sofa blowing a fan.

It's a bit hot today, the air is humid, and it feels like it's going to rain heavily.

Drinking beer and bragging, the beef in the casserole is almost there.

Chen Yuan got up from the pot and tasted it, the beef was stewed, and the fragrance was rich.

Zhou Sheng served Chen Yuan a meal and took out two bottles of beer.

"Is there a half million dollars in the total for their ship?" Chen Yuan.

"It's small, your pattern is too small." Zhou Sheng said with a smile: "I heard Zhang Hang say that the ship cost more than 400,000 US dollars when it was bought, and then it was transported and transformed...... By now, at least 600,000 yuan. Their ultra-low temperature freezer, counting the freight, is tens of thousands. ”

"It's like being wronged." Chen Yuan said: "With so much money, you can buy a new ship." ”

"Zhang Hang is a novice, and the rupee can't touch these." Zhou Sheng said.

"Alibaba purchases globally, and there are a lot of longline fishing boats on it. Six million, HD—P2600, isn't it fragrant? Chen Yuan ate a piece of beef.

Chen Yuan's hand shocked Zhou Sheng.

"HD-P2600, what do you mean?"

"26 meters, longliner." Chen Yuan said.

"Six million?" Zhou Sheng asked: "Is there any ultra-low temperature?" ”

"I don't know, I can't read English, but ...... There should be. The hull of the fiberglass should have a freezing room and an ultra-low temperature fish cabin. ”

"Cowhide. How do you know that? ”

"Before in Fiji, a friend of Uncle Xiaoxi wanted to buy an ultra-low temperature fishing boat, but he didn't know where to buy it, Yan Xiaoxi recommended it." Chen Yuan said with a smile: "You can also contact the shipyard online to customize the fishing boat." ”

The Gilbert Islands have several domestic longline fishing vessels of more than 20 meters, which are small but also have freeze rooms and ultra-low temperature tanks.

Made in China, good quality and low price. Solid and durable......

Uncle Xiaoxi's friend, after knowing about it, contacted the manufacturer on the Internet. He did not place an order online, but prepared to fly to China to have a look. It is said that the fish owner is ready to sell his old fishing boat.

"What is the size of that kind of boat, freezing room and cryogenic fish tank?"

"Freeze room, a dozen cubes. Ultra-low temperature fish tank, up to 25 cubic meters. 26m fishing boat...... This parameter is already very bullish. Chen Yuan said: "In fact, the small fishing boat is also very good. ”

"Actually, I think Fu'an 79, that boat is too expensive. Our company is now forced to do that boat, and the pressure is so great. Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan.

"You didn't say it earlier, and now you're starting to complain."

"Let's talk." Zhou Sheng sneered: "Fu'an 79 will be delivered next year, where will we go at the first stop?" ”

"If it is delivered in March and April, it should go to the South Pacific and make southern bluefin tuna......"

After eating and tidying up the living room, Chen Yuan and the others went back to the cockpit, started the fishing boat, and went straight to the outside of the atoll.

In the open sea of Funafuti, there are still a lot of fish.

But the amount of tuna doesn't seem to be particularly large.

Circling the atoll, Chen Yuan and the others went to the deep sea area to check the sea temperature, salinity, and the direction of the current.

Now there is no detailed map of ocean currents, and it is more difficult to find fish.

Chen Yuan and the others ran until after ten o'clock in the evening, and then they came back to the lagoon embraced by the atoll.

The lagoon is calm and there are no waves. Drop anchor and get a good night's sleep......

In the evening, it was Zhou Sheng cooking again.

Chen Yuan sorted out the information, divided the density of fish in each sea area, and worked until 12 o'clock in the evening.

After eating, Chen Yuan turned on the radio: "Chen Yuan called Fu'an and received an answer." ”

"Roger." Luo Hao.

"Roger." Takaga.

"Roger." Luo Lao Si.

"Roger."

"Received ......"

Fu'an's radio channel, a string of 'received' answers.

"I'm Luo Hao, what's the matter?"

"Today I reconnoitred the open sea of Funafuti Atoll, and there are three areas of sea that are worth hooking." Chen Yuan said: "Overall, the fish situation is not bad, but the amount of tuna is small. ”

"Okay. How much fuel do you have on board? ”

"One in five. We will set out tomorrow morning to find you in the open sea, and first fill up my ship with fuel. ”

"Okay." Luo Hao said.

"Is there a map of the ocean currents of the country?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Nope. Now the sea has just opened...... There are now only two companies of fishing boats in the country, one is an American company and the other is a Japanese company. Their boat has not yet started fishing. Luo Hao said: "At this time, the climate here in Tuguo is better, and if you go east tomorrow, you may be able to predict the fish." ”

"Okay."

For a long time, the radio channel did not speak.

"Done with business?" Takaga asked.

"Are you done?" Luo Hao said.

"It's nothing." Chen Yuan said: "By the way, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet." ”

"I'm sorting out my paperwork and I'm going to go to bed right away." Luo Hao said.

"Me too, I'm checking the equipment of the fishing boat, and I'll go to sleep in a while."

"What time will you arrive tomorrow?"

"It's noon."

Chen Yuan zoomed in on the chart, found a punctuation point far away from the atoll, and gave this punctuation to Luo Hao.

The fuel consumption of the big white is also very powerful, and the twin-engine economy cruises, looking for fish...... At the end of the day, close to 2 tons of oil.

Zhou Sheng cooked the meal: "Have you finished speaking, it's time to eat." ”

Chen Yuan turned off the wireless phone.

In the evening, it was still beef and potatoes, Chen Yuan picked up a beer and looked at the time: "Chen Xin, should they go to Singapore?" ”

"Pretty much."

Chen Yuan took out the phone and called Yan Xiaoxi. The phone doesn't turn on......

"Not there yet?" Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan.

"The phone doesn't turn on." Chen Yuan called Chen Xin again, but the phone was still not turned on.

Zhou Sheng bit the lid of the beer and took a sip: "At this point in time, it should have arrived." ”

"They'll call later." Zhou Sheng said: "I should really insist on going back, what do you think?" ”

Chen Yuan let out a 'hmm'.

Originally, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng discussed and asked Zhou Sheng to send them back to China, but they didn't agree.

Chen Yuan felt that the two of them should be fine together, but he was still worried in his heart.

"At night, do you want someone to keep vigil?" Zhou Sheng asked.

"Definitely. You go back to bed and sleep, and I sleep in the living room. Chen Yuan said, and a lightning bolt appeared in the sky.

At noon, it felt like it was going to be afternoon, and now it's finally here.

After the lightning, there was a roar of thunder......

Chen Yuan smiled, raised the wine bottle, touched it with Zhou Sheng, and was about to take a big sip when the satellite phone on the table rang: "Hey." Chen Yuan quickly picked it up.

"Chen Yuan?" Yan Xiaoxi's voice.

"It's me."

"We're in Singapore."

"Singapore to Guangzhou, what time is the plane?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Tomorrow morning." Yan Xiaoxi said: "We are going to spend the night at the airport tonight. ”

"Stay safe." Chen Yuan said.

"Don't worry, I'm with Shin Shin." Yan Xiaoxi said: "There is a tea restaurant at the airport, and we are going to eat something." You guys should be past twelve o'clock in the evening by now. ”

"Almost."

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

"I just called you, but it hasn't been turned on yet. Waiting for a call......"

"Okay, I'm going to eat with Shin Shin. Call you tomorrow morning. ”

"Good. Call Chen Xin, and I'll say a few words to her......"

Chen Yuan told Chen Xin again and asked them to pay attention to safety. Seriously, Chen Yuan regretted not insisting on it. Zhou Sheng sent them back, and there was not much time to delay.
