886. It's so tricky

Starting from the tenth update, please give me monthly votes and recommend votes! Brothers and sisters, Fei Feifei...

As soon as Reyek said this, Qin Shiou felt something was wrong and asked quickly: "Yes, General Christine, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with this ship?"

"You guys, sizi, no? sizi, wait, sizi..." I couldn't hear the following words. Qin Shiou knew that this was the signal being disturbed. This happened on the fish-stolen boat of the Mori family last time.

At this time they are not on the sea, but on the dock of the port, and the signal should not be like this.

Combining the meaning of Reyek's words at the beginning, although Qin Shiou didn't fully understand the problem, he probably knew it.

He brought Shaq, Nelson, Sea Monster, Smoke Bulge, Bull and Auerbach. The fishermen checked the boat. If the father was right, he could issue a contract directly.

In this way, he called the calm Shaq to his side and whispered: "Call Black Knife and the others, get off the boat and call, and ask them to come over quickly and bring the guys and our documents."

Shaq was knowledgeable and immediately understood Qin Shiou's subtext and asked quietly: "Is there any problem? What about the ship?"

Qin Shiou nodded. Shaq would wait until Reyek below. What happened when Reyek arrived. But it seemed that something was wrong with the ship. There was actually a signal interferer on the ship, otherwise he shouldn't be unable to make a call.

From the outside, this big ship is majestic and looks good after boarding the ship. The deck is flat and clean, and the guardrail coated with protective paint is as smooth as mirrors. The equipment and fishing gear are placed in an orderly manner.

Harrison proudly introduced the things on the boat, and Qin Shiou kept nodding. But he believed in his eyes more, so he let the fishermen scatter and take a look.

There were some Italian sailors working on the boat. The sea breeze was blowing in winter, and these people were wearing coarse denim clothes. They also deliberately opened their arms, revealing a bunch of black hair on their chests, and their faces were covered with gloomy faces, just a few words on their faces: I am a black man!

But Qin Shiou didn't understand what this meant. This was St. Johns Port. They said it well on the phone before. There was no forced buying and selling. But the meaning of the existence of these sailors seems to be a deterrent, right?

The fishermen went to check the accessories and facilities of the fishing boat. They were blocked by the sailors. A bald man, who was one size bigger than a bull, said gloomy:

"Don't delay our work, man, this is not something you can come here."

Qin Shiou looked at Harrison and the captain, who smiled and said, "My sailors are all bad-tempered guys, but it doesn't matter. Tell me what you want to see, I'll take you to see."

"Then go to the cockpit first." Qin Shiou didn't insist on checking the boat by himself, of course. He would do this.

The large ship more than 80 meters long can be said to be a small island. They walked from the bow of the boat to the bridge located at the rear. Qin Shiou was very satisfied with the appearance of the boat and was well protected.

But after entering the cockpit of the bridge, Qin Shiou frowned.

Since he planned to buy a big boat, Qin Shiou learned about some of the differences between a big boat and a small boat in advance, including the cockpit. Of course, it should be called a cab, but it is just to distinguish between a boat and a car. The old fishermen all use the cockpit as a name.

Generally speaking, the cabs of passenger ships and small freighters are placed in the front of the ship. This makes it easier to see, such as the cabs of the Harvest and farewell party are located at the front of the ship, close to the deck.

The cabin of large ships is placed in the middle and rear of the ship, because the cabin is located in the middle and rear of the ship, and the upper part of the cabin is not suitable for ice cabins. Putting the cabin on the upper part of the cabin is convenient for controlling the ship and saving ship volume.

In addition, large ships only need to enter the deep sea to operate and are prone to strong winds and waves. At this time, the bow of the ship is most bumpy when sailing, which is not good for the driver and navigation instruments.

However, even if the cab is in the middle and rear and still bumps after encountering wind and waves, the instrument needs to have a high enough structure strength, anti-fall, waterproof, anti-magnetization, etc., which require a lot of requirements.

Qin Shiou entered the cockpit and saw that there were all essential instruments such as radar, automatic rudder, satellite communication equipment, etc., but the models were very old, and according to the details, these instruments were not strong in protection and could not adapt to long-term deep-sea operations.

The fishermen have been playing with fishing boats for decades. The sea monsters and smoke guns have been the first and second mates. They are naturally familiar with these things. They start to shake their heads when they see them, and they know the tricks inside clearly.

The most important thing about a ship is not these instruments, pipelines, hulls and engines. Comparing the ship to the human body, the cabin is the heart, the tube system is the blood vessels and nervous system, and the hull is the flesh and blood. If these parts are not a big problem, it can be used.

After going to the cabin to see it, Qin Shiou was completely disappointed. He didn't know when the engine was shipped, he didn't have a nameplate, and he didn't know how much power it was. This ship was useless.

Qin Shiou's expression was not very good in this way. Harrison and his group were completely teasing him and wasting his time!

When he walked out of the cabin, Harrison asked enthusiastically: "Man, how about it, is this ship quite good? Take her down, you will definitely feel wise for your decision at this time in the future!"

Qin Shiou smiled and was about to speak when someone came over from the bow of the ship. It was Reyek and Shaq.

Walking over quickly, Reyek dragged Qin Shiou aside and bit his ear and said, "You should tell me the identity of this ship first! Damn it, this is a group of liars, Fake, this ship is a waste ship, it's completely useless!"

Qin Shiou said: "It's okay, we can't just buy it if we don't buy it? I don't believe these guys dare to buy and sell it in St. Johns. How can we cheat us like this?"

Reyek said anxiously: "No, you don't understand, they..."

"Mr. Qin, do you want to buy the General Christan? Please make up your mind quickly." Harrison walked up and said.

After making a decision, Qin Shiou said firmly: "No, we won't buy it, sorry."

Harrison did not get entangled. He shrugged and said, "That's a pity. It seems we can't do this business anymore. In this case, as agreed, you have to pay half of our fuel bills, right?"

Qin Shiou also shrugged and said, "Yes, please give me the invoice for the fuel expenses and I'll let my accountant transfer the money to you."

After hearing this, Harrison smiled and handed over the prepared invoice. Qin Shiou looked at the value and immediately narrowed his eyes. A line of numbers was clearly written on it: 60,000c(hdf).

hdf is the abbreviation of Heavydie Seluel, which means heavy diesel.

Diesel can be divided into light diesel, medium diesel and heavy diesel. Among them, light diesel is mainly used as fuel for diesel locomotives, tractors and various high-speed diesel engines, while medium diesel and heavy diesel are mainly used as fuel for various diesel engines such as ships and power generation.

A ton of diesel is about 1,200 liters. According to the current oil price in Canada, a liter of heavy diesel is about one Canadian dollar. That is to say, General Christine used fifty tons of diesel this time?

From Halifax to St. Johns, a 2,000-ton fishing boat can use at most one ton of diesel in one voyage. How did this fifty tons come about?
