Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows slightly. How could a fishing boat that was less than 30 meters long dare to be called an ocean-going fishing boat
However, this ship does have the initial capability to sail in the ocean, and it is not wrong to call it an ocean-going fishing vessel, but this ship is still too small for Xiang Yang.
"I want to see a bigger fishing boat," said Xiang Yang.
"A bigger one?" Xiao Zhou looked at Xiang Yang in surprise. He was already very cautious about the 1.2 million yuan for this fishing boat, but he didn't expect Xiang Yang to still look indifferent. The biggest deal he had ever done in this store was selling a set of winch equipment worth 700,000 yuan. Before that, he had never completed such a big order!
Xiao Zhou immediately led Xiang Yang to another cupboard and said, "Boss, take a look at these fishing boats. They are all ocean-going fishing boats, over 30 meters long, and are very popular models."
Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "Take me to see the fishing boats that are over 60 meters long."
Xiang Yang's current fishing boat is forty meters long. Since he has decided to upgrade his muskets to cannons, he must replace it with a significantly larger one.
Otherwise, why not sell the 40-meter fishing boat and buy a smaller one or a 40-meter fishing boat? Does Xiang Yang have nothing to do
"Sixty, sixty meters?" Xiao Zhou was shocked. He almost fainted at Xiang Yang's words. "Boss, such a fishing boat costs more than 10 million."
"Take me to see it." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"Boss, please come this way." Xiao Zhou quickly made a gesture of invitation. He was completely overjoyed by this unexpected surprise. Oh my God! How much commission would a 10 million yuan order give him? Would this order be enough to support him for three years
"This is a purse seine fishing boat wrapped in iron sheets. It is 61 meters long and 12 meters wide. The main engine has a power of 220 million kW, a displacement of 700 tons, and a deadweight of about 1,000 tons. It has six frozen warehouses and four live water tanks. Each live water tank has a capacity of 25 cubic meters. The fuel storage capacity can reach 220 cubic meters..." Xiao Zhou carefully reported a set of data to Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang simply shook his head, "I don't want a purse seine fishing boat, I want a trawler."
Xiao Zhou immediately pointed to the model of another fishing boat and said, "This boat is 65 meters long and 9 meters wide. It has its own full set of frozen fish fillet processing equipment, canned fish processing equipment, frozen warehouses, and live water tanks. It has a total load of 1,400 tons and a speed of up to 14 knots. It uses a full set of sonar and optical fish-finding equipment imported from Europe, and has the most advanced ship propulsion system in China. It uses an intelligent system and can set a route and drive automatically. In addition, it is also equipped with complete anti-wind and wave equipment..."
Xiang Yang actually doesn’t care about these. He only cares about three things. One is the speed of the ship, another is the carrying capacity, and the last one is the price of the ship.
Xiang Yang was basically satisfied with the speed that could reach fourteen knots. It was quite good for an ocean-going fishing boat to have such a speed. After all, it was a fishing boat, not a warship. It could not be compared with those warships that could reach seventeen or eighteen knots.
It is quite good to be able to reach a carrying capacity of 1,400 tons. Xiang Yang knows that a giant ocean-going fishing vessel with a length of 80 meters has a carrying capacity of only more than 3,000 tons.
"How much does this ship cost?" Xiang Yang asked.
"The price of this fishing boat is 20 million." Xiao Zhou said.
Twenty million in total. This price did not exceed Xiang Yang's expectations, and was even much lower than Xiang Yang's expectations.
Xiang Yang immediately asked: "Is there any discount? Can I pay in installments?"
Xiao Zhou showed excitement on his face. "Boss, if you really want to buy this fishing boat, of course you can pay it in installments. The down payment only needs to be 50% of the entire fishing boat, and the rest can be paid off in the form of a loan in five or ten years."
Xiang Yang showed a hint of depression on his face, "What about the discount?"
Xiao Zhou showed a trace of difficulty on his face, "There is no discount, these are the prices set by our boss, there is no such thing as a discount."
Xiang Yang rolled his eyes and pointed at the long-haired man in the distance, "When he introduced a ship to me before, he said that the original price of the ship was 5.8 million, and he could sell it to me for 5.5 million."
Xiao Zhou was stunned. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "That's our boss. He sets the price of the boats here. How about I ask him for you?"
Xiang Yang nodded.
Xiao Zhou immediately trotted towards the long-haired man.
The long-haired man talked to Xiao Zhou for a few words, his face changed, and he immediately ran towards Xiang Yang, almost falling on the way.
Xiang Yang quickly helped the man up.
The long-haired man grabbed Xiang Yang's hand and said, "Sir, do you want to buy this ocean-going fishing boat?"
Xiang Yang smiled and nodded, "But the price is still to be discussed."
The long-haired man wiped his forehead and said, "It's impossible to give you a discount. We are all small businesses, but I can give you a few sets of sea fishing rods, with a total value of 200,000 yuan."
He made a gesture of invitation, "Let's go, let's talk over there."
Xiang Yang followed him to a coffee table and sat down. He personally poured Xiang Yang a cup of tea and said, "I don't know what your name is, boss?"
"Xiang Yang."
The long-haired man said, "It's Mr. Xiang. My last name is Wu Tianyi. You can just call me Old Wu. Xiao Zhou should have discussed the general situation with you, right? If you are satisfied, let's go to the dock to take a look at the boat."
Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows, "Boss Wu, you are too stingy, aren't you? I bought something worth 20 million, and you only give me a discount of a few fishing rods?"
Wu Tianyi rubbed his hands together and said, "How about I give you a sea motorcycle worth 80,000 yuan? This is the only way for a small business."
Xiang Yang shook his head and said, "Forget it, take me to the dock to see the boat first."
The dock is right on the coast of the Daling Bay area. It looks like an extra-large warehouse and has a cable car inside.
Wu Tianyi took Xiang Yang on a cable car to a large silver-white ship. "This is the ship. Mr. Xiang, you can take a closer look. I guarantee that you won't find any fault with this ocean-going fishing boat."
Xiang Yang didn't listen to Wu Tianyi's nonsense. He walked around the fishing boat himself, patting here and touching there, and then walked towards the middle cabin.
"This cabin is divided into four floors. The first floor has four storage warehouses and five freezers, each of which can store over a hundred tons of fish, as well as a sashimi, canned fish, and fish meal processing cabin, which can process more than 40 tons of canned fish and fish meal every day." Wu Tian introduced as soon as he saw Xiang Yang walk into the cabin.
Xiang Yang nodded and walked towards the second floor.
"The second floor is the staff dormitory. There are two rows of six rooms on each side, for a total of twenty-four dormitories, divided into two super-luxury single dormitories, two luxurious double dormitories, and twenty four-person dormitories with beds and desks. A total of eighty crew members can be accommodated."
