As the name suggests, Daling Bay is a bay, and along the coast of the bay are shipyards and ship sales companies.
Xiang Yang got off the car in Daling Bay area, thinking about finding a larger shipyard. Large ocean-going fishing vessels specifically refer to fishing vessels with a length of more than 60 meters. These things are not something that ordinary small factories can afford to mass-produce. Moreover, the quality of things in large factories is guaranteed. This is why so many people are willing to go to 4S stores even though they know that the things in 4S stores are more expensive than those in ordinary auto repair shops.
Of course, Xiang Yang had an idea of what kind of fishing boat to buy. He had seen many large ocean-going fishing vessels. Things that were accepted by the public naturally had their reasons. In the case of insufficient knowledge, following the public's footsteps was the safest way.
Xiang Yang looked around in the Dalingwan area. He first walked around the entire Dalingwan area and then walked into a store that looked the most beautifully decorated.
It is naturally impossible for a large ocean-going fishing vessel to be displayed in a store. The counter of the shipyard is similar to a real estate sales center. Models of fishing boats are displayed in each window. These models are all restored in proportion to the real objects. If you like a boat, you can ask the clerk to take you to the boat to see it.
In this store, Xiang Yang saw a medium-sized ocean-going fishing vessel that was similar in appearance to his own driftnet fishing boat. Moreover, the various parameters, size, displacement, and sailing capabilities of this fishing boat were similar to the one he was currently driving.
Xiang Yang couldn't help but move closer to the counter, wanting to take a closer look.
At this time, a clerk in the store came over and said, "Sir, you have good eyesight. This is a medium-sized ocean-going fishing boat with a very high cost-effectiveness in our store. It is suitable for fishing in the near sea and mid-sea. It has a very long endurance. Two boats can do purse seine fishing together, or a single boat can do trawling. It is equipped with the most advanced sonar system, lighting system, etc., and the displacement is as high as 207 tons. If you are lucky, you can bring back more than 200 tons of fish in one trip, and you can make back your investment in two trips."
Xiang Yang looked at the clerk. He was wearing a casual black down jacket and his hair was almost shoulder-length. This kind of attire usually didn't belong to an ordinary shopping guide, but probably a sales manager or something like that. So Xiang Yang asked, "How much do you sell this gillnet fishing boat for?"
The reason why Xiang Yang asked this question was that he wanted to first inquire about the price of the ship types he was familiar with, so as to avoid being cheated by the other party.
The salesman at the shipyard was surprised when he heard Xiang Yang's question. He seemed to have not expected Xiang Yang to call out the name of the ship. He rolled his eyes and said, "The original price of this ship is 5.8 million. If you want it, I can give you a discount. You can drive it away directly for 5.5 million."
Five and a half million, this price is exactly the price Xiang Yang paid when he bought his first fishing boat.
When Xiang Yang heard the price, he knew in his mind that the sales staff in this store either received commission or a basic salary. There are generally three types of sales staff in the market. The first type receives commission, and the second type receives a basic salary. Both types of sales staff are relatively reliable. The prices they offer are actually the prices set by the store. They do not have the authority to offer discounts, and they only get a commission based on how much they sell.
There is also a third type of salesperson. The store gives them a minimum price, and how much they sell for depends entirely on their own ability. You must be most careful when dealing with such salespersons, as they will often ask for sky-high prices.
"Let me just take a look around." Xiang Yang said. He felt that the prices in this store were fair and immediately decided to shop around.
"You're looking for the next target without even bargaining." The long-haired man looked at Xiang Yang and thought that this man might be scared by the price of 5.5 million, otherwise he wouldn't say he just wanted to take a look without even bargaining. He had secretly brushed past Xiang Yang for a while before, and Xiang Yang obviously liked the fishing boat in front of him.
People who have been working in sales for a long time usually classify customers.
One type is the customer who comes into the store and directly asks for a specific product. Such customers have often done their homework and will buy as soon as they enter the store.
The other type is customers who come in to look around. These customers often really just want to look.
The long-haired man immediately classified Xiang Yang as a customer who just wanted to look around. He waved to another clerk and said, "Xiao Zhou, come here and show this boss around."
The clerk named Xiao Zhou immediately ran over and enthusiastically handed Xiang Yang a cigarette, "Boss, what do you want to see?"
Xiang Yang didn't care. It didn't matter to him whether it was the long-haired man or Xiao Zhou who entertained him. He took a look at the fishing boat models and various fishing supplies in the cupboard, and thought that the scale of this store was indeed quite large, with a wide variety of boats. Basically, all kinds of fishing boats he had seen had models displayed in the cupboards in this store. He just didn't know if they were real or just a model.
"I want to see the fishing boats." Xiang Yang said.
Xiao Zhou's eyes lit up. It would be great to buy a fishing boat. For him, any fishing boat would be a big business.
In recent years, it has become a consensus that there are no fish near the coast. Smaller fishing boats that cannot sail to the high seas basically lose money when they go out to sea. Those that go out to sea are generally larger fishing boats. Any of these fishing boats that can sail to the high seas costs at least hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is the same commission as a luxury car.
"Come here, boss, come with me and take a look. This fishing boat is twelve meters long and has a live water tank. It can reach a speed of 9.5 knots. It's just a little expensive, but its cost-effectiveness is really high. After all, it is an ocean-going fishing boat with long-sea capabilities and a live water tank." Xiao Zhou led Xiang Yang to a cupboard and pointed to a very simple iron plate fishing boat.
Xiang Yang nodded and said, "I want to see a bigger fishing boat." This fishing boat obviously does not have the ability to go deep into the ocean. At most, it can just wander around the edge of the open sea. It is much smaller than the one Xiang Yang had been on before. There is no way Xiang Yang would be interested in such a fishing boat.
"We have a bigger fishing boat." Xiao Zhou immediately said, "Boss, what do you think of this one? This is a steel trawler. It's 27 meters long, 5 meters wide, has a draft of 3.1 meters, and 340 horsepower. It's a real ocean-going fishing boat."
"The bare boat price is only 900,000. If you need it, we can equip you with a full set of lights, all the nets, tools and sonar systems. The price of the whole boat is about 1.3 million." Xiao Zhou said weakly: "Don't underestimate it. It is definitely a very cost-effective fishing boat."
