Chapter 333 No Disadvantages Are Expensive

Chapter 333 No shortcomings, just expensive

The fungus hotpot is delicious and you will never get tired of it.

It’s just wild mushrooms, which are too expensive.

One meal costs several thousand, which is higher than many people’s monthly salary.

In the afternoon, Chen Yuan and the others went to Dongjiang Fishery Company and talked about the seine boat.

It was past 5pm when we left Dongjiang Fishery.

Luo Hao and Zhou Jianguo both rented houses in Hailing. The group returned to Hailing and found a private room in the hotel to sit down.

The 79-meter tuna seine boat has a width of 14.2 meters, a depth of 8.7 meters, a gross tonnage of 2,350 tons, and a high-speed cruise of 17.6 knots.

This is an American-style tuna seine boat with a maximum main engine power of 5,800 kilowatts.

The ship is a double-deck ship with a middle foredeck house. The bow adopts a ball bow, and the tail is slope-shaped and has a slideway for placing, loading and unloading fishing boats. The bow or bow and stern are equipped with side thrust devices with a thrust of 25 kN.

The front part of the upper deck is the deckhouse, which is used to arrange the crew's living quarters, and the rear part is the operating area, equipped with a winch, fish hatch, net platform, etc.

There is a mainmast behind the deckhouse, a fish observation deck on the upper part, and two booms for suspending the power pulley and loading and unloading the catch.

The lower deck is a place for processing catches, including a processing room, freezing room, fish hold and auxiliary engine room.

Below the lower deck, there are mainly engine rooms, oil tanks and thrusters.

The bow of the ship is also equipped with a helicopter platform and three fishing boats, which are used to drive away fish schools and adjust the shape of the net when releasing the net.

The original price of the boat was 385 million. At this stage, Dongjiang Fishery Company has paid more than 100 million for the boat.

Buying a new fishing boat is similar to buying a house. You pay some down payment and get a bank loan or mortgage for the rest.

"130 million, if you add a little more, you can buy a 76-meter seine boat at full price." Lin Xinhai looked at Chen Yuan: "You decide whether you want it or not."

The tuna purse seiner of Dongjiang Fisheries should be the largest tuna purse seine vessel in China and also the most advanced tuna purse seine vessel.

I went over today and looked at the drawings of the fishing boats and the models of the equipment... It’s expensive, that’s why it’s so expensive.

130 million, which is the amount paid to Dongjiang Fishery. In addition, the mortgage loan for the fishing boat is 280 million.

This works out to 410 million.

Building a new ship has reached an advanced level. The 76-meter tuna... is about 165 million. With all the equipment, it can be done for 200 million.

With 410 million, we can build two 76-meter tuna seine boats.

Moreover, the 76-meter tuna purse seiner, based on domestic shipbuilding standards and ready-made technology, does not need to be designed separately... Submit the order now, and if there is no need to place an order, it should be delivered by the end of next year.

Chen Yuan also felt that the boat was too expensive and looked at Luo Hao: "What do you think?"

"You make up your mind." Luo Hao thought for a moment and said, "That boat is indeed too expensive. A bank loan of 280 million yuan will have an interest of more than 20 million yuan a year."

Chen Yuan pinched his forehead.

79 meters long, it does not require a supply ship and can operate alone at sea for more than half a year.

76 meters, about three months.

However, this is actually not very necessary. Even if you go to the southern hemisphere, there will usually be a freezer ship coming to receive the fish. Otherwise, if you have been floating at sea for more than half a year... and you haven't caught two thousand tons of fish for half a year, then what are you doing?

The 79-meter boat has many advantages, such as wind and wave resistance, and a wide range of offshore operating conditions. It can even operate in ice areas and in environments of minus 25 degrees.

The boat is very good, the only drawback is...it's too expensive.

"Go to the shipyard tomorrow to have a look." Chen Yuan said.

Luo Hao said 'hmm': "The only disadvantage of that boat is that it is expensive. The rest are all advantages..."

Luo Laosi asked: "That boat can catch 10,000 tons per year?"

"Ten thousand tons, it's no big deal." Luo Hao said with a smile, "As long as we can get enough quotas."

"Fishing on the high seas, do you need a quota?"

"Fishing on the high seas requires a license. For example, in the Indian Ocean, yellowfin tuna requires a quota." Luo Hao said: "Quota matters are easy to solve, very simple..."

When fishing boats go out to fish, especially on the high seas, it is basically impossible to effectively supervise them. Quotas, how should I put it, are definitely needed if bulk international trade is involved.

After dinner, when they got home, Yan Xiaoxi and his daughter were getting ready to go for a walk.

"Is there anything else tomorrow?" Yan Xiaoxi asked.

"I'm going to the shipyard tomorrow." Chen Yuan said, "The Dongjiang Fishery ship under construction is ready to be transferred. Let's go over and have a look."

"I'm going in the morning, can I come back in the evening?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "I can come back..."

Went to the beach and enjoyed the breeze.

Compared with last year, there seem to be more people on the island.

There are quite a few people walking on the beach.

"You want to buy a new boat again?" Yan Fuli asked.

Chen Yuan said 'hmm' and said with a smile: "Prepare to exchange shotguns for cannons."

"How big a boat?"

"More than seventy meters, seine boat." Chen Yuandao: "We only have one longline fishing boat now, and we are going to replace it with a seine boat."

Yanfuli said ‘hmm’. He didn’t know much about fishing, so he said: “Let’s go to sea, safety comes first.”

Chen Yuan smiled and nodded.

After walking on the beach for a while, Chen Yuan took them to a bar. It was the bar that Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng often went to when they first came here.

Sit down and have a drink and enjoy the sea breeze.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening when I got home, and I slept until dawn... At dawn, Luo Hao called me.

"Are you about to leave?" Yan Xiaoxi woke up and looked at Chen Yuan who was about to get up.

"Go there early and come back early." Chen Yuan said, "Cook for yourself at noon, or go out to eat by yourself. I'll leave the car keys to you."

Yan Xiaoxi stretched out her hand and asked for a hug.

After washing up and going downstairs, Zhou Sheng was waiting in the car, picked up Lin Xinhai and Luo Laosi, and went straight to the shipyard.

The hull has been built, and the interior is being decorated and equipped.

The 79-meter ship is very large. From the bottom of the ship to the deck, it is taller than two stories.

Chen Yuan and the others went inside and took a look around, and what they felt was that it was really big.

This feeling is particularly strong for Luo Laosi. He has rarely been on a big ship. This ship should be the biggest one he has ever been on.

After a brief visit, Chen Yuan and the others left the shipyard.

Chen Yuan, Zhou Sheng, Lin Xinhai and Luo Laosi were in one car.

"How is it?" Lin Xinhai asked.

"The boat is quite big..." Luo Laosi said: "Chen Yuan, what do you think?"

"When the fish is sold out, let's see how much money is in the company's account." Chen Yuan breathed out and said: "My idea is to take it. But you also have to agree... There are four of us, and three of us have to agree.

Okay. To be honest, that boat is very risky."

Chen Yuan and his company took out a loan of 30 million, and this money must be replaced.

Dongjiang Fishery's conditions are also very relaxed, and the payment can be paid off at the end of the year. A total of 130 million will be paid to them. Furthermore, Dongjiang Fishery is interested in their company's Little Nanny and Big Fish, and those two ships can deduct tens of millions...



From now on, when the seine boat is delivered, the Big Fish will definitely be sold. As for the little nanny, it should also be sold...

The 79-meter seine boat has a freezing capacity of two thousand tons. The little nanny is too big to bear it.

To put it simply, the little nanny cannot satisfy the big guy.

"It's up to you. If you want to win, I support it." Zhou Sheng said.

Luo Laosi also nodded: "Okay, let's do it."

"Then do it." Lin Xinhai.

Chen Yuan's scalp was numb and he said: "You can do this yourself, don't involve me in my opinion. In fact, you can also go to the shipyard and place an order for a 76-meter tuna purse seiner. To be honest, I also think the Dongjiang boat is too expensive.

... I want that ship to be my own idea, and my idea may not be right. After a while, when the work is over, let's hold a secret ballot."

Lin Xinhai thought for a while: "Okay."

Luo Laosi also nodded.
