Although he only stayed at Zhou Yan's house for two days, young master Lin suddenly felt like he was reluctant to leave. Before leaving, he was still a little reluctant to leave.
“It would be great if I could stay a few more days!”
Zhou Yan, who was packing the "fruits of these two days' labor" for the eldest young master, expressed his contempt in vain: "If these two days are repeated for most of the year, you don't want to stay any longer!"
"How can it be?"
"Believe it or not," Zhou Yan handed the packed foam box to the Anxin Mall buyer who had been stationed in the village. "This is the harvest of Young Master Lin and Miss Zhang. It was transported to the capital and delivered to their homes. The address has been
I sent you……"
After sending away the harvest of the young masters and ladies, Zhou Yan had to help his father and mother organize the vegetables they brought to the city.
Up to now, among the relatives and friends of the Zhou family, there are only three "city dwellers": Qin Ruoshu's family, my aunt's family, and my brother-in-law's family.
Although the owners of the three families are not short of money, nor are they short of food, Zhou Yan always brings a lot of things with him every time he goes to the city. In the words of Zhou Yan's wife, he brings "a little bit of kindness".
Home-grown vegetables in the garden, beans picked from the mountains, and some seasonal fruits from the family were washed and packed into foam plastic boxes.
In a short time, the compartment of his pickup truck was filled with vegetables. Later, the trunk of Zhou Yan's Q7 was not spared either.
After loading the gifts, Ms. Zhou Yan went to her neighbor's house, handed over her livestock and greenhouse, and then went out.
After entering the city, Zhou Yan led a convoy of three cars straight to his uncle's house.
Before the car arrived at the community, Zhou Yan found his cousin Li Jinling, who had an out-of-touch personality, already waiting at the door of the community.
Seeing Zhou Yan's car, Li Jinling immediately made a phone call. Not long after, her uncle's family and her aunt's couple came out of their new home with smiles.
"You're here now, what else do you need to bring?"
My cousin, who often surfs the Internet, was a little surprised to see Mr. Lin, a famous Internet celebrity. She kept looking at him secretly, making Mr. Lin feel a little shy.
"Brother Yan, this..."
"My cousin's major is film and television drama production. I guess you have some thoughts after seeing you..."
With that said, Zhou Yan took out a box of vegetables from the trunk of the pickup truck and put it in his cousin's hands: "Stop looking at it! It's embarrassing!"
As soon as the vegetables were handed over, the little cousin standing aside reluctantly tugged on Zhou Yan's pants: "Brother, and me..."
"You?" Zhou Yan was amused. He turned around and took out a bag of snacks from the back seat of the Q7 and stuffed it into his hand, "Why don't you take it upstairs!"
After sitting upstairs for a while, Zhou Yan and Qin Ruoshu left Master Lin and Miss Zhang behind and sent the remaining vegetables to the Qin family...
Every family has the tradition of having guests for lunch. At noon, Mr. Qin simply brought the two families together and had a big table at Ruiyang Restaurant.
In the afternoon, after visiting the Bihailantian construction site, Zhou Yan took his father and mother, father-in-law and mother-in-law, his aunt's family, his uncle's family, as well as Young Master Lin and Miss Zhang to board the Xinghai, which was preparing to weigh anchor.
After boarding the ship, Qin Fangyuan, Zhou Zhenghai, and Zhou Yan's uncle Li Yulin, who had had drinks at noon, squatted in the room to sleep, while the female guests sat on the oversized terrace in the middle of the yacht and drank tea.
Young Master Lin and Miss Zhang, wearing life jackets, squatted on the bow of the boat looking for romance...
My uncle, who had not drank at all during lunch, pulled Zhou Yan into the bridge as soon as he got on the boat.
Seeing his uncle's attitude, Zhou Yan didn't know that his uncle was planning to buy a boat and go to sea.
"Uncle-in-law," Zhou Yan looked at his uncle-in-law who had been staring at the captain with a smile, "the captain is one of my own, if you have any questions, you can ask whatever you want!"
"Really?" My uncle was very happy, but he just had a little too much on his mind. After thinking about it, "A boat like this is very different from a fishing boat!"
The captain on the side, Lao Deng, was happy: "Brother, I used to run the ocean, but my son is getting older and I don't want to float on the sea all year round, so I want to change my job!"
"But..." My uncle turned around and glanced at Zhou Yan.
"My sister-in-law plans to buy some offshore fishing boats..."
"Buying an ocean-going fishing boat is a good way out," Lao Deng smiled and nodded, "but the requirements for the captain are a bit high. In addition to excellent navigation and driving skills, he must also have rich fishery knowledge..."
"What about offshore?"
"Offshore?" Lao Deng glanced at the empty sea surface, "There is profit in the offshore, and there is a fishing moratorium every year?"
Although my uncle is considered an old sailor and has spent many years on an ocean-going fishing vessel, he knows nothing about the information that a captain should have.
"Zhou Yan..."
Before boarding the ship, he was still full of ambition, but in an instant he was crestfallen. Zhou Yan smiled, shook his head, and glanced at Lao Deng: "Lao Deng, I remember your hometown is over in Zhoushan?"
Lao Deng is also a good man. When he heard Zhou Yan ask this question, he knew what his boss meant. He replied with a smile: "In recent years, the days of fishing boats in Zhoushan have not been very good. Some old fishermen, because
I couldn’t make any money, so I had to sell the fishing boat..."
Uncle-in-law Zhao Yongxin's face looked much better now.
"Of course, also going to sea, some businesses are much better than fishing..."
"what business?"
"Ocean-going refrigerated ships, have you heard of them?"
Zhao Yongxin suddenly realized: "Going out to sea with a fishing boat can supply supplies and transport fish?"
"As far as I know, the fishing boats from Xia Dong go to sea and have a relatively simple structure. All supplies are carried by the fishing boats themselves, and their self-sustaining capabilities are limited..." Lao Deng looked at Zhou Yan with a smile.
"Uncle-in-law," Zhou Yan chuckled, "How about we partner up?"
"that……"
Zhao Yongxin is a little moved. For him who likes life at sea, as long as he can make money in a field he is familiar with, there is no difference whether he goes out to sea to fish or to buy fish.
Moreover, for Zhao Yongxin, who lacks experience as a captain, the ocean-going refrigerated ship business is more suitable: the harvest can be guaranteed during droughts and floods, and he can also take advantage of his familiarity with various marine fish.
However, Zhao Yongxin also knew that if he partnered with his nephew, it would feel like being given away...
"Well, Zhou Yan, I still have to discuss it with your aunt..."
After watching in the cab for a while, Zhao Yongxin returned to the room to sleep.
However, what Zhao Yongxin didn't expect was that as soon as he left, Aunt Zhou Yan came to the bridge room.
"Shitou, did your uncle come here just now?"
What else can Zhou Yan do? He can only tell the truth.
"Tell me the truth, if Zhao Yongxin buys his own boat and goes to sea, is there a big chance of making money?" The aunt looked serious.
"If my uncle buys a fishing boat and finds an experienced captain, making money will not be a problem..."
The aunt's eyes widened: "Does that mean you're guaranteed to lose money or not make a profit?"
"Don't jump to conclusions yet," Zhou Yan smiled and shook his head, "There are other ways."
"What way?"
"Ocean-going refrigerated ships," Zhou Yan explained patiently, "are ocean-going ships that go out to sea with the fishing fleet, sell fresh water, eat and drink on the way, and buy fish from fishing boats when they arrive..."
"Your uncle only knows how to fish, let him do business..."
"I really lack acquaintances who are familiar with marine fish..." Zhou Yan smiled bitterly, "Auntie, you also know that with the current scale of Anxin Mall, sooner or later, we will have to get involved in seafood, and acquaintances will pave the way..."
"That's okay," the aunt nodded, "but it's best that the crew and finances are your own. To put it bluntly, Zhao Yongxin has great ambitions but little talent, his heart is as high as the sky, and his life is as thin as paper...
