After the statistical work was completed, Chen Yuan left in the fishing boat.
After a while, the satellite phone rang: "Hello?"
"I am Lao Zhao."
"Uncle Zhao, what's the matter?"
"Nothing, I just want to remind you to pay attention to safety. The other thing is where to go fishing in the second half of the year. Let me know and we will go together." Zhao Hai said with a smile.
"Okay. We need to study where to go fishing in the second half of the year."
Zhao Hai said ‘hmm’ and said: “I wish you a good fortune.”
"Wish you fortune."
Zhao Hai smiled and hung up the phone.
It's good to stay in the Phalanx, at least the income is pretty good. At least the income is higher than those of longline fishing boats that work alone.
A few hours later, Chen Yuan found the nanny of Dongjiang Fishery: "Uncle Luo."
The length of the big nanny seems to be more than eighty meters.
Dabai is a little kid next to the nanny, so it would be more appropriate to call him Xiaobai.
"Hi, Uncle Luo." Chen Yuan saw Luo Hao standing on the side of the ship and shouted.
The relationship between Chen Yuan and Luo Hao is quite good, but they used to be a superior-subordinate relationship.
Luo Hao has half-white hair and is about 1.7 meters tall. He is not very tall, but his standing posture does not look like that of a fisherman... He always maintains a military stance, giving people a strong feeling.
Luo Hao waved and said with a smile: "Come up and sit for a while."
"Hurrah."
The rope ladder was lowered from the nanny, and Chen Yuan climbed up directly.
Luo Hao smiled and patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder, handed Chen Yuan a USB flash drive, and went in to drink tea.
"good."
The Big Nanny is very large, with a width of more than ten meters. It has a storage capacity of nearly a thousand tons of frozen fish. In order to ensure the operation of the fleet, the fuel storage tank is also very large, with more than a thousand tons of fuel reserves.
The main purpose of this kind of ship is to ensure that the fleet operates at sea for a long time. As for transporting fish, it is secondary.
But compared to another 100-meter mother ship, it is still far behind.
Luo Hao took Chen Yuan to the captain's office, a small independent office. No matter how big the ship is, the space is limited. This office is estimated to be less than ten square meters, with a desk, a sofa, and a bookshelf.
It is filled with books.
There is a window behind the desk.
Luo Hao pointed to the stool. After Chen Yuan sat down, Luo Hao made tea for Chen Yuan: "How did you get it?"
"Very good." Chen Yuan said.
Luo Hao nodded: "I heard that you want to build an ocean-going tuna purse seiner? A large one..."
"Who said that?"
Luo Hao smiled and sat next to Chen Yuan: "You don't care who said it, right?"
"That's the idea."
Luo Hao rubbed his face and said, "Dongjiang Fishery has a 79-meter tuna seine boat. Are you interested?"
"79 meters?" Chen Yuan looked confused: "Isn't it possible?"
There are not many tuna purse seine boats in China, and there are even fewer large tuna purse seine boats.
I have looked up data on tuna seine boats online before, and it seems that they are the largest at over seventy meters.
Chen Yuan said before that he wanted to build a 100-meter tuna seine boat, which was probably just bragging. Once the boat reaches a certain length, every additional meter will cost several million, or even tens of millions, or tens of millions more.
.
There is no 100-meter-level tuna seine boat in China yet. However, based on foreign prices, a 100-meter tuna seine boat costs at least 600 million, or even close to one billion, or more than one billion.
Hundred-meter-level tuna seine boats are rare not only in China, but also in the world.
"Just asking if you are interested."
"Yes." Chen Yuan said, "Then who told you that I was interested in seine boats?"
Luo Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Who else could it be? Zhou Jianguo... He even called me and said he was resigning."
"Dongjiang Fisheries really has a nearly 80-meter tuna seine boat? This is impossible, I have never heard of it." Chen Yuandao.
"The ship is still under construction. Before you left Dongjiang Fishery, the company signed a contract with the shipyard, and it will be delivered by the end of next year at the latest... The company's top management split up, and the shareholders who left took away the 100-meter mothership and some trawl nets.
ship, as well as the large-scale Antarctic shrimp fishing ship under construction. It left a lot of mess, including the tuna purse seiner." Luo Hao took a sip of tea, glanced at Chen Yuan secretly, and then said: "Originally,
When the tuna seine boat is built, I will serve as the captain on that boat. The construction of that boat is progressing quite quickly. If you want, you can take over."
"How much does it cost?"
"That ship, 385 million."
"So expensive?"
Luo Hao shrugged, 385 million, that's just the cost of building a seine boat. To successfully launch the seine boat, it is estimated that it will cost more than 10 million. Also, that fishing boat has a helicopter landing pad, and it needs to be equipped with a helicopter.
Money. Then there are all kinds of expenses...
"400 million, where is this? The Antarctic shrimp fishing boat branched off by Dongjiang Fisheries is said to have cost as much as 880 million."
Chen Yuan said 'hmm'. Large Antarctic shrimp fishing boats are indeed expensive, but they make money. And their earning power is relatively stable...
"385 million, how much is the down payment?"
"Twenty percent."
"Twenty percent is 77 million. We don't have that much money." Chen Yuan spread his hands.
"The nanny in your company is pretty good." Luo Hao blinked and said with a smile.
"Dongjiang Fishery is interested in our little nanny?"
Luo Hao said 'hmm': "Fishing boats are easy to find, but support ships are difficult to find. That boat should be worth tens of millions...Dongjiang Fishery currently has a serious shortage of freezing processing transport ships."
"I have also learned about the price of the seine boat. It is 76 meters long. The shipyard's quotation basically does not exceed 200 million. Why is your company's boat worth 400 million?" Chen Yuan asked.
"The molded depth is 8.7 meters, the total tonnage is 2,350 tons, and the high-speed cruise is 17.6 knots and 385 million. It is all equipped except for the helicopter." Luo Hao said: "After the boat is delivered and the formalities are completed, you can go fishing directly."
"Infinite navigation area?" Chen Yuan said.
"That's for sure."
Chen Yuan smiled, a little embarrassed. For such a large tuna purse seiner, it goes without saying that it must have an unlimited sailing area: "What is the maximum wind resistance level?"
"It's designed for level 10."
Chen Yuan took out a cigarette, lit one for Luo Hao, and said with a smile: "Dongjiang Fishery doesn't want that seine boat? Why."
"The focus has shifted. If the Dongjiang fishery had not been divided, the purse seiner would definitely not have been transferred. But now the Dongjiang fishery will focus mainly on fishing in the Federated States of Micronesia, which is the waters of the Nauru Agreement countries.
.There are now three tuna seine boats within 50 meters. The fishing quota for purse seine boats has been exhausted. In the future, the focus will be on the development of longline fishing boats... At the end of last year, Dongjiang Fisheries placed an order for 20 26-meter fiberglass boats.
Longline fishing boats." Luo Hao said: "I also heard that there have been additional orders recently."
"If we take down that seine boat, you can come over and be the captain." Chen Yuan said.
"Okay." Luo Hao said with a smile.
"I really want to come over."
Luo Hao said 'hmm' and said: "The 79-meter seine boat was originally a project I promoted. I have long wanted to work on a large tuna seine boat."
"What are your requirements?"
"I want shares." Luo Hao looked at Chen Yuan. Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't speak, he added: "The one who paid for it..."
With Luo Hao's abilities, it's not surprising that he wants shares.
Chen Yuan didn't hesitate much and nodded: "Okay... I welcome you with both hands. But I still have to discuss this matter with Master and the others."
