ocean hunter

Chapter 48

On weekends, Lu Xiaolu was fishing alone in the sea. She was a bit tired alone, and after finishing working on the bow, she had to work on the stern.

I was carefully unpacking a lobster when the phone in my pocket rang.

Take it out and have a look, Shirley pressed the answer button, tilted her head and clamped the phone, and she didn't stop working.

"Hello? Shirley, how did you do in the exam?"

"Guess." Shirley's playful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I do not guess you guess guess."

"Huh?" Shirley was stunned. She hadn't learned all Mandarin yet, so it was a bit difficult for her to understand.

Lu Xiaolu smiled triumphantly, she knew from her tone that she had passed the exam, so I had to guess.

"I guess not."

"You guessed wrong, you can get the certificate in three days, hee hee, are you at sea, I'll come and find you."

"No, it's over here right now, you go back and take the scale to the school gate and wait for me."

"Ah."

Today, I only caught half a pot of fish. The main reason is that it is too troublesome for one person to get down and collect the net. The bow and stern of the boat have to run. In addition, the fish will sometimes hang on the bottom, which can make people sweat.

He loaded the fish back into the car and washed the fishing nets to dry. It was getting late, so Lu Xiaolu hurriedly drove to find a road with fewer cars.

There were few fish today, and they were sold out in less than an hour. The two went to the shipyard together again.

To be honest, that double-decker big boat really made people greedy, and the two of them were almost impulsive.

Today I am mainly asking about loans.

Lu Xiaolu didn't even take out student loans, so he thought he would give as much as he had.

In the end, I was told that I could only pay half of the down payment, otherwise the bank would not do it, and people would have to earn interest.

After writing and doing calculations, it was found that the interest was tens of thousands, and Lu Xiaolu's face was a little ugly.

At first, I thought that after buying the boat, I would pay back the money in one month, with an interest of up to 2000 yuan.

Unexpectedly, the interest was enough to buy half a boat.

The two discussed it and decided to go back and collect the full amount.

It's only 3 yuan, he still doesn't believe it can't be made.

It is impossible to borrow money, so go online more.

Feeling cruel, Lu Xiaolu went to buy two more gill nets, which cost 4000 yuan.

With the increase of nets, there is no place for people to stand on this small boat, and the matter of buying a boat has to be put on the agenda.

The two wished they could go to sea now and grab him a few nets, but they had classes for the next few days, so they couldn't go to sea for nearly three days.

One day, Lu Xiaolu was in class, and suddenly received a message from the shipyard. Surprised, Lu Xiaolu didn't listen to the whole class, and called Xueli right after class.

"Where are you Shirley?"

"I'm in the library, what's the matter, are you going to sea today?"

"No, I don't have time to explain to you, come to the parking place!"

"What's the matter, why are you in such a hurry?" Shirley ran over panting.

Lu Xiaolu had already reversed the tricycle: "Get in the cart first, and talk while walking."

It turned out that the shipyard had sent him a message just now. A boat came to the factory yesterday. It was ordered by a fisherman. Just after launching, something happened to his family. He needed money urgently, so he had to find a new home.

But buying a boat is not buying Chinese cabbage, you can buy it when you say it.

To put it bluntly, a boat is not like a car.Everyone needs it.

Those who need it are booked in advance at the shipyard, and then they start to do it.

The few boats that Lu Xiaolu saw before were all displayed in the factory for others to see, because after a long time, they would only sell them if they needed to replace them with new ones.

The owner of the ship was in urgent need of money, and no one took over, so he lowered the price from 38 to 25 in one day, and no one took over.

Lu Xiaolu, this is really a coincidence.

Of course, the shipyard is not for charity, if the ship in the factory is not sold to recommend it to him, they will charge a handling fee, as for how much it will charge, Lu Xiaolu should not worry about it.

After arriving at the place, the two of them saw the staff member who was docking with him as soon as they entered the factory, and there was a chattering middle-aged man next to him, with an anxious look on his face.

After introducing each other, there was no nonsense on both sides, and they were both very anxious. They went to see the ship accompanied by the staff.

MF55 diesel engine ocean fishing boat has a total length of 15.67 meters, a width of 3.82 meters and a displacement of 16.8 tons.

Two 160-horsepower Italian joint venture VM diesel engines have an economical speed of 16 knots and a maximum speed of 20 knots.

The range is 1100 nautical miles, two fuel tanks, each 950 liters.

There is a rest cabin, an independent captain's cabin, a kitchen, an independent toilet, and an engine room.

There is an ice bin at the back of the cabin, which is 4.12 meters long and 2.6 meters wide, and below it is a living water bin.

There are six fixed fishing holes in the bow and two in the stern.

In addition, there are winches, windlasses, pulley cranes, navigation systems, in addition to seawater ice machines and fish finders, everything else can be said to be everything.

Seeing the big white guy in front of him, Lu Xiaolu fell in love with it immediately, and listened carefully to the staff's introduction. The middle-aged man next to him fidgeted and paced back and forth with a bag of documents.

"Xue Li, what do you think?" Lu Xiaolu didn't buy it alone, so of course he had to ask Xue Li for her opinion.

Shirley nodded. She took a turn in the boat just now. The appearance of this boat is quite resistant, but of course you can't just buy a boat based on appearance.

"We don't know if there is anything wrong with this boat." Shirley hit the point in one sentence.

The middle-aged man hurriedly took out a stack of documents and said, "Don't worry, the ship has only been launched once, and it hasn't had time to work yet. This is the ship inspection report."

Speaking of this, he felt a little bit bitter, if it wasn't for the accident at home, he wouldn't have sold the boat he just bought.

Xue Li and Lu Xiaolu looked at the documents carefully again, they went out to discuss for a while, and when they came back they said with smiles on their faces: "Let's draw up a contract."

"Ah? Bought it?" The middle-aged man couldn't believe it. He was ready to be bargained. As long as it wasn't too much, he could accept it with gritted teeth. Who told him to need money urgently.

"Yeah." It's not that Lu Xiaolu is stupid, it's just that this boat is really worth the money, at the same price, it's not a bit better than the 13-meter fishing boat I saw before.

The family is already bleeding heavily, and they are still waiting for the money to be used urgently. Lu Xiaolu is not a person who takes advantage of the fire to rob.

"Thank you, thank you!" The middle-aged man held Lu Xiaolu's hand and couldn't help but burst into tears.

During this period of time, he experienced too many ups and downs, and his relatives had long been hiding away for fear that he would borrow money.

The brother who was drinking together before even offered to buy his boat for 15 yuan, which made him almost sent to the hospital in anger. He never thought that Lu Xiaolu, a stranger, was the most honest.

The staff of the shipyard were also happy, and his service fee was more than 1 yuan.

All three parties were happy, and they took the car of the shipyard to go to the relevant departments to go through the handover procedures.

One day is bound to be endless. Lu Xiaolu and Xueli took two days off. Finally, under the witness of the lawyer, the two parties paid the final payment, signed and pressed their fingerprints.

Lu Xiaolu and Xue Li officially became the legal owners of the boat.

"Which of us is the captain?"

"Whoever can sail a boat is the captain. You don't have a license, so you can only be a sailor. Sailor Lu Xiaolu, go and pour me a glass of water for the captain, hehe."
