Even cleaning and arranging the goods, Gu Kun's three men were busy until late at night before everything was done.
The decoration of this house was completed in 1992, and the furniture was moved in long ago. It was originally intended to be a bonus when the house was allocated, but who told the customs to have good conditions.
Now that it was bought by Gu Kun, it was very convenient for him. He didn't have to worry about the smell of newly decorated paint, and he could just move in with his bags.
The most satisfying thing is that this house also has reserved space for air conditioning and a water heater that uses piped gas - because the building is located near the port area of Nansha and is directly connected to the liquefied gas pipeline of the Port Authority.
It can be equipped with air conditioning, can take hot showers and soak in the rain. With the conditions in 1994, what else can you ask for? The 50,000 yuan spent on buying a house is well worth it.
"Brother, we finally live in an apartment building. I don't even want to go back to Lanfang."
After taking a hot bath, Gu Pan rolled on the bed for a long time, but it still couldn't relieve the excitement inside.
Long Wu and Chen Li had to do heavy work just now, so Gu Pan took care of the light and dirty work of cleaning the new house. She usually has to do so much housework at home, but after finishing it, how can she have such refreshing hot water?
What about the shower?
When he thought about the stilted water houses built on wooden poles that he lived in in Lanfang, Gu Pan felt an urge to treason, not to abandon the dark side and join the bright side and become a Chinese citizen.
"Look at your sharp eyesight. This is not a credit to the country, but a credit to your brother's money. Don't thank the wrong person." Gu Kun smiled and hit his sister,
"When we go back to Lanzhou, the worst we can do is spend a little more money than here, and we're afraid that we won't be able to live in a good house. The nationality of Lanzhou is definitely more useful. When you are mixing in the world, sometimes you have to keep the nationality of those little booger countries.
It’s scarce, and its operability is incredible.
Look at Li Jiapo’s passport. It has the highest value for visa exemption in the world. Most Western countries give it visa exemption, and China also gives it visa exemption. We are lucky enough to be born with Lanzhou nationality. This cannot be lost, and it will be of endless use in the future.”
Gu Pan was only a freshman in high school and didn't understand many big principles. She could only listen to whatever her brother said.
The brother and sister had just chatted for a few words when Long Wu and Chen Li walked into the master bedroom sweating profusely and reported to Gu Kun.
"Captain, everything is settled. If nothing happens, we will go back to the ship. Although all the valuable things have been moved out, it is not good for the ship to be left unattended for too long."
This is the tragedy of sailors. Even if it is docked, at least one person must always be assigned to take turns watching the ship.
Gu Kun asked casually: "I was negligent. There is no one on the boat now?"
Long Wu: "There is no one, but before I came out, I said hello to Xiaogang and asked him to help keep an eye on things and not let anyone get on the boat. I gave him two packs of cigarettes. He is from Boss Xu.
We hang out at the fishing pier all year round, but it’s not hard to bother people for too long.”
Gu Kun nodded: "You did a good job, give him two more packages later, and I will reimburse you together."
As Gu Kun said this, he casually took out a hundred yuan note and threw it to Long Wu.
Since he promised the other party a benefit, it would be okay to let the other party stay up late to watch the shipping industry for a long time. It was rare that Gu Kun could gather all his subordinates. He also wanted to take this opportunity to give some instructions and sort out the arrangements for the next stage.
Considering that everyone was too busy and tired to talk about things while hungry, Gu Kun gave his sister 100 yuan and asked her to go downstairs to find a braised food restaurant. She could buy cooked vegetables and come back and chat while eating.
Seeing this posture, Chen Li knew that the boss was about to give instructions, so she gently poked her husband and asked Long Wu to listen carefully.
After eating a few mouthfuls of roasted goose, Chen Li asked carefully: "Boss, are we preparing to return in the next few days? If so, I will prepare to purchase supplies tomorrow. I made a lot of money on this trip, I don't know
When are you going to change ships?"
After hearing Chen Li's question, Gu Kun also remembered that it was really time to take stock of his cash flow.
This time, the income from selling seafood is divided into two parts. The part that is caught and processed in the country, the income is 170,000; the part that is imported and processed, the total is 380,000 from the transaction with Xu Feng.
However, this part still needs to pay customs duty at 13% of the guide price, which is about more than 10,000 yuan. (Because the guide price is several times cheaper than the actual transaction price, the customs people do not know the goods)
All added up, the net income from the fish catch was 530,000.
In the afternoon, Gu Kun went to the Fishery Management Office and received the sonar bonus, which was about 80,000 yuan, based on the receipts and documents he had received when he was in the Visa Islands.
However, it cost 50,000 yuan to buy a house with furniture. Gu Kun also planned to buy an air conditioner and other electrical appliances, so he had to set aside a budget of 10,000 yuan for the purchase of home appliances.
After all the additions and subtractions are offset, after coming to China this time, there is still 550,000 yuan in cash left.
In addition, he still has more than 40,000 ringgits in Lanfang, which is equivalent to 100,000 yuan according to the official exchange rate. However, the money must be kept locally and will not be exchanged.
After thinking about money, Gu Kun decided: "In March, I plan to continue operating according to the mature business route that I have run so far. When I save 1.2 million, I plan to borrow some more money and order in Huaxia
A large fishing boat worth 2 million yuan went to Lanfang to get a license plate.
In April, we will see what happens. If I have enough spare money by then, I will consider multiple operations, such as going back to Lanzhou to see if there is any reasonably priced land, hoarding some, and launching other projects in the future."
Before Gu Kun was reborn in his previous life, he also ran some shipping and tourism businesses in Lanfang. He also held a lot of shares in a resort on a small island, so he had experience in these businesses.
After rebirth, although there are many more possibilities, people will still subconsciously think of their old profession first.
Frankly speaking, Lanfang has great potential to develop into an internationally renowned cultural and tourism destination in the future.
The natural scenery and conditions of that place are no worse than Semporna in Bali, and there are also oil resources with a density similar to that of Brunei. It is not hopeless to play the local tycoon card.
In addition, Lanzhou has never had a local currency or tariffs. If it wants to build a free trade island to attract global shopping, or build an offshore financial center and become the registration place for as many Internet companies as the Cayman Islands, there are opportunities.
It's a pity that the top management who was in charge of Lanfang's overall situation at that time was too cowardly. Just relying on a middle-class private boss like Gu Kun could not change anything. In this life, it is not his turn to worry about these overall situations for the time being, unless one day he is in Lanfang
His power is truly as great as that of an uncrowned king.
These are still too far away. For now, we should first expand our power quickly and quickly.
Long Wu didn't understand the truth. Seeing that his wife and boss had been talking for a long time without getting to the point, he volunteered and asked: "Then let's make preparations for sailing as soon as possible. We are still short of half of the 1.2 million yuan. You can't make money by just lying around and herding sheep."
If it falls off. If we make two more trips based on the current harvest, won’t the money be enough?”
"So, you can only earn hard-earned money." Gu Kun took a sip of soju and ordered, "This time, you go back first. I plan to rest here in Guangdong for a week and then fly back.
——My injury hasn’t fully healed yet, and I can’t go into the water anyway. Rather than bumping around on the boat, it’s better to rest for a week.”
Sharpening a knife is as good as chopping firewood. Your body is the capital of your life.
Long Wu felt a little regretful when he heard this: "Captain, your ability to listen to fish is much better than mine. If Ali and I go back, we probably won't be able to catch any fish along the way, and there won't be enough manpower."
Gu Kun: "I didn't let you catch fish. If you have the opportunity, if it's convenient, you can catch it. It doesn't matter if you can't catch it. On this return trip, I have thought of a new way to make money for you.
The profits are certainly incomparable to those of Su Mei and Tsing Yi, but the advantage is that the harvest is guaranteed despite droughts and floods, and it can be done without me personally taking charge - this is also a test for you."
Both Long Wu and Chen Li's eyes lit up and they were very positive: "Captain, you said that there are almost no tricks you have come up with that are ineffective."
