Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng chatted and went to the reception area, lying on the sofa and blowing on the fan.
It's a bit hot today, the air is humid, and it feels like it's going to rain heavily.
Drinking beer and bragging, the beef in the casserole is almost ready.
Chen Yuan took the pot and tasted it. The beef was stewed and had a rich aroma.
Zhou Sheng served Chen Yuan food and brought out two bottles of beer.
"Does Rupee's ship cost half a million dollars in total?" Chen Yuan.
"It's too small. Your layout is too small." Zhou Sheng said with a smile: "I heard from Zhang Hang that the boat cost more than 400,000 US dollars when it was bought. After that, it was transported and renovated... Until now, it has finally
It’s at least over 600,000 yuan. Their ultra-low temperature freezers, including shipping costs, cost tens of thousands each.”
"It's like being taken advantage of." Chen Yuan said: "With so much money, you can buy a new boat."
"Zhang Hang is a novice, and Luby doesn't have access to these things," Zhou Sheng said.
"Alibaba Global Procurement has a lot of longline fishing boats. Six million, HD-P2600, isn't it delicious?" Chen Yuan ate a piece of beef.
"Just the two of us, let's talk." Zhou Sheng said with a smile: "Fu'an 79 will be delivered next year, where should we go as the first stop?"
"The freezing room contains more than a dozen cubic meters. The ultra-low-temperature fish cabin has a maximum of 25 cubic meters. A 26-meter fishing boat... This parameter is already very impressive." Chen Yuan said: "In fact, small fishing boats are also very capable."
The lagoon is calm and there are no waves. If you drop anchor, you can have a good sleep...
"Today I surveyed the waters off Funafuti Atoll and found that there are three areas worth setting a fish hook in." Chen Yuan said: "Generally speaking, the fish situation is pretty good, but the number of tuna is small."
"I don't know, I can't read English, but... it should be. The fiberglass hull should have a freezing room and an ultra-low temperature fish tank."
"Nothing's wrong." Chen Yuan said, "By the way, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"
"Actually, I think Fu'an 79, that ship is too expensive. Our company is so bad now, it's very stressful to build that ship." Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan.
"You didn't say anything earlier, and now you're complaining."
"Do you want someone to keep watch tonight?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"Tomorrow morning." Yan Xiaoxi said, "We will spend the night at the airport tonight."
Made in China, high quality and low price. Solid leather, durable...
Chen Yuan enlarged the chart, found a landmark far away from the atoll, and gave this landmark to Luo Hao.
"No. We have just opened the sea now... There are only two companies in the country's fishing boats, one is an American company and the other is a Japanese company. Their boats have not started fishing yet." Luo Hao said: "At this time,
The climate here in Tuguo is better. If you go east tomorrow, you might be able to foresee a shoal of fish."
"Have we finished talking about the business?" Gao He asked.
Chen Yuan turned off the wireless phone.
For a while, the radio channel was silent.
"Chen Yuan?" Yan Xiaoxi's voice.
"Why haven't you slept yet?"
"I'm sorting out the information and going to bed right away," Luo Hao said.
After the lightning, there was a rumble of thunder...
"Received." Gao congratulated.
Zhou Sheng cooks again in the evening.
Uncle Xiao Xi's friend contacted the manufacturer online after learning about it. He did not place an order online, but planned to fly to China to have a look. It is said that the fish boss was planning to sell his old fishing boat.
"receive."
Chen Yuan took out his phone and called Yan Xiaoxi. The phone was not turned on...
"Don't worry, Xinxin and I are together." Yan Xiaoxi said: "There is a tea restaurant at the airport, and we are going to have something to eat. It should be past twelve o'clock in the evening over there now."
"The phone is not turned on." Chen Yuan called Chen Xin again, but the phone was still not turned on.
"Niubi. How do you know this?"
"Received." Luo Hao.
"Received." Luo Laosi.
The fuel consumption of the Dabai is also very good. It has dual engines for economical cruising, looking for fish...at the end of the day, it uses nearly 2 tons of fuel.
"Okay. How much oil do you still have on board?"
Chen Yuan and the others did not return to the lagoon embraced by the atoll until after ten o'clock in the evening.
"At noon."
"I'm Luo Hao, what's wrong?"
"almost."
After dinner, Chen Yuan turned on the radio: "Chen Yuan called Fu'an and received the answer."
Zhou Sheng bit open the lid of the beer and took a sip: "This time should have arrived."
"Not here yet?" Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan said ‘hmm’.
There are several domestic longline fishing boats of more than 20 meters in the Gilbert Islands. Those fishing boats are not big, but they also have freezing rooms and ultra-low temperature fish cabins.
"Is there any ocean current map of Tuguo?" Chen Yuan asked.
"One-fifth. We will set out tomorrow morning, find you on the open sea, and fill up my ship with oil first."
"receive……"
"How big is the freezing room and ultra-low temperature fish tank on that kind of ship?"
Chen Yuan felt that there should be no problem if the two of them were together, but he was still worried in his heart.
"Almost."
Fu'an's radio channel, a series of 'received' replies.
It felt like afternoon at noon, and now it's finally here.
"Me too, I'm checking the fishing boat equipment and so on, and I'll go to bed soon."
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng originally agreed to ask Zhou Sheng to send them back to China, but they refused.
Chen Yuan compiled the data and divided the density of fish in each sea area, and was busy until twelve o'clock in the evening.
Chen Yuan smiled, raised the wine bottle, and touched it with Zhou Sheng. Just as he was about to take a sip, the satellite phone on the table rang: "Hello." Chen Yuan quickly picked up the answer.
"Are you done?" Luo Hao said.
"About what time can you arrive tomorrow?"
"OK."
"It's me."
Off the coast of Funafuti, there are still a lot of fish.
"Pay attention to safety." Chen Yuan said.
"Okay." Luo Hao said.
"If it is delivered in March and April, then we should go to the South Pacific to catch southern bluefin tuna..."
"Six million?" Zhou Sheng asked: "Is there any ultra-low temperature?"
After circling the atoll, Chen Yuan and the others went to the deep sea area to check the seawater temperature, salinity, and ocean current direction.
After eating and tidying up the living room, Chen Yuan and the others went back to the cockpit, started the fishing boat, and headed straight to the outside of the atoll.
"We've arrived in Singapore."
"They will call after a while." Zhou Sheng said, "I should really insist on following them back, what do you think?"
"What time does the flight from Singapore fly to Guangzhou?" Chen Yuan asked.
"HD-P2600, what does it mean?"
In the evening, it was still beef and potatoes. Chen Yuan brought a beer and looked at the time: "Should Chen Xin and the others go to Singapore?"
Zhou Sheng prepared the meal: "Are you done? It's time to eat."
Chen Yuan's move shocked Zhou Sheng.
"I definitely want to. You go back to bed and sleep, and I'll sleep in the living room." Chen Yuan said, and a flash of lightning appeared in the sky.
"Before I was in Fiji, a friend of Uncle Xiaoxi wanted to buy an ultra-low temperature fishing boat, but didn't know where to buy it. Yan Xiaoxi recommended it." Chen Yuan said with a smile: "You can also contact the shipyard online to customize the fishing boat."
There are no detailed ocean current maps now, so it is more troublesome to find fish.
But the number of tuna doesn’t seem to be particularly large.
"I called you just now, but the phone hasn't been turned on yet. I'm waiting for the call..."
"Okay, Xinxin and I went to eat. I'll call you tomorrow morning."
"Okay. Call Chen Xin and I'll have a few words with her..."
Chen Yuan warned Chen Xin again, asking them to pay attention to their safety. To be honest, Chen Yuan regretted not persisting. Zhou Sheng sent them back, which would not delay much time.
