Chapter 44 Buying a Second-Hand Ship

The second day after returning to Tandan Island.

Someone from the credit union in town came.

Just go through the process.

After confirming whether Li Duoyu had the 30 acres of kelp farming raft, they took a group photo together.

The inspection is over.

And the third day.

Li Duoyu got a small current savings passbook and was directly promoted to the very powerful "Ten Thousand Yuan Household".

As for Li Duoyu's loan.

All three men of the Li family kept silent and suppressed the news. Even his mother, Chen Huiying, did not let her know.

Zhou Xiaoying is still pregnant.

Li Duoyu didn't want her to bear the pressure of a loan, otherwise the pressure would be too great and it would be bad for the child in her belly.

It seems that his father can't even eat in the past two days.

Li Duoyu felt a little regretful and asked his father to take out a loan with him.

If his father didn't know about the loan.

The pressure won't be so great.

Now, apart from cracking oysters, I spend the rest of my time helping him inquire about the ship.

Funding is now available.

In addition to the 10,000 yuan from the loan, Li Duoyu still had about 800 yuan left.

He planned to do this during this time.

Take out the fishing rafts on the sea, that is, the kind of floating house fixed on the sea. Although this thing is rare on Dandan Island.

But in their county, there is a fishing village without land, Xiaqi Village. The entire village is built on the sea, connected by bamboo rafts, fishing rafts and fishing boats, where everyone can eat, drink and eat.

But in ancient times.

These fishermen are called Dan people.

Due to discrimination from land residents and the government, children of the Dan family cannot study in schools on land.

When they grow up, they are not allowed to intermarry with people on land, they are not even allowed to wear shoes, they are not allowed to build houses on land, and they can only float on the water all year round.

In the Republic of China era.

The status of the Dan people has improved, and they can build some thatched houses and cabins on the shore.

But because of being discriminated against all year round.

Most of the people still prefer to float on the water, and they have also built a lot of fishing rafts. They can put the caught sea fish in the net bags in the fishing rafts and keep them temporarily.

Li Duoyu wants to build fishing rafts and small floating houses just to facilitate the management of kelp.

Thirty acres of kelp is not much,

To say less is not too much.

Once managed, it is still very tiring.

What if there was a house fixed on the sea.

When you are tired from work, hungry, or there is a sudden rainstorm, you still have a place to hide and cook.

The wooden piles that fixed the small house on the sea were driven in advance by Li Duoyu during the last piling drive. Now he still lacks some materials, which is moso bamboo that is not available on Dandan Island.

Speaking of which, moso bamboo is really a treasure for coastal farmers.

Can be used to drive kelp piles,

Can be used to make fishing rafts,

You can build a bamboo house,

It can also be used on the beach to dry seaweed and kelp.

But there are a lot of them on the mountains in the mainland.

Li Duoyu even knows very well that in Gushan, near Lianjiang County, there are large areas of moso bamboo on the mountain, and the price of a moso bamboo is not even five cents.

But this thing,

It will not survive growing near the sea.

If fishermen on the seaside want to buy moso bamboo, they have to go to the mountains to purchase it.

But moso bamboo is cheap.

But transportation costs are extremely high.

Not only did he need to hire a truck to pull the bamboo from the mountains to the dock, but he also had to hire a fishing boat to pull the fishing boats from the dock back to the island.

In this day and age, the total transportation costs are probably ten times the value of the moso bamboo itself.

Just when Li Duoyu was planning to go to Gushan to buy moso bamboo sometime, his father's happy voice came to his ears.

"Duoyu, I found a good boat for you."

Li Duoyu found his father, panting while talking, with beads of sweat on his forehead. Judging from the situation, he must have run back.

Li Duoyu saw this.

I quickly poured him a bowl of tea and asked him to calm down for a while.

After finishing his tea, Lao Li said excitedly:

"Hurry up and follow me. Lao Ye and his family want to sell the boat. If we get there too late, someone might snatch it away first."

"Lao Ye?"

"That Ye Shuanglin at the dock?"

His father nodded: "Yes, that's him."

"Didn't he just buy the boat last year? Why is he selling it this year?"

"You come with me first, I'll talk to you on the way."

"Okay, let's leave right away."

Li Duoyu immediately rode his bicycle, and his father didn't care too much. He sat on the back seat of the bicycle and told Li Duoyu why the old man was in such a hurry to sell the boat.

The reason is that Lao Ye had a relative who fled to an overseas province. In the past two years, due to smuggling, he happened to contact this relative through a large smuggling ship.

And his relative said that there was a way to get the whole family out, so Lao Ye's family was anxious to sell off their property.

Hear this.

Li Duoyu knew what was going on immediately, and he didn't expect that the tide of smuggling would start from now on.

After the two arrived at the dock.

Lao Ye, who was smoking a cigarette, was sitting on a fishing boat. After seeing the Li family and his son, he jumped onto the dock and greeted them warmly.

"Lao Li, how are you thinking?"

"My fourth son wants to buy it. There's no point in asking me. In the end, it's up to him to make the final decision."

After Li Duoyu arrived at the dock.

I looked at the boat on the spot. It was a fairly new boat. Although it had some bumps and bumps, it was well maintained and it didn't look like it had been overhauled. It was equipped with a 12-horsepower single-cylinder diesel engine.

Such a brand new ship would cost at least 3,000 yuan in the shipyard.

Li Duoyu shouted, "Can we try the diesel engine?"

Lao Ye replied, "No problem, go ahead and try it."

Li Duoyu took the crank and inserted it into the head of the diesel engine, then spat on his hand.

Rubbing and rubbing.

He pressed the pressure reducing valve with one hand and held the crank with the other hand, and started to shake it quickly.

At the beginning of shaking.

It was still a bit strenuous, but after the inertia, it was very easy, and it shook about twenty times.

Choking black smoke came out of the head.

Then the diesel engine started to "da da da". Li Duoyu observed it for a while and found that there was no sign of oil leakage in the diesel engine.

Then he said with satisfaction, "This ship is OK, no problem."

Then he jumped onto the dock.

He pulled Lao Li aside and asked, "How much does Lao Ye plan to sell it for."

"Lao Ye said that he bought this ship for more than 3,000 yuan, and now he wants to sell it for 2,500 yuan."

Li Duoyu frowned slightly.

2,500 yuan is definitely expensive.

But he knew that the Ye family was anxious to raise money. When he smuggled to the island country, he borrowed a lot of money from neighbors and loan sharks.

Li Duoyu came to Ye and said on the spot: "Uncle Ye, your boat is good, but it has been used for a year after all. If you can sell it for 2,000, I will pay directly."

When Ye heard the price, his brows were all twisted together: "Or I will suffer a loss, 2,250, do you think it's okay?"

Li Duoyu shook his head firmly.

"I don't have that much money, either 2,000 or I will wait for someone else's boat."

He was not in a hurry about the boat. If it didn't work, he could directly rent a boat from the villagers on the day of the kelp seedlings.

But Ye was different. He was anxious to leave.

Seeing Li Duoyu's tough look, Ye sighed and said: "Forget it, 2,000 is 2,000."

Seeing the price was negotiated.

Li Duoyu immediately went home and took out two brand new stacks of big unity, one hand handed over the money and the other hand handed over the boat.

Touching this small fishing boat.

Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh: "From today on, I am also a person with a boat."
