Chapter 99. 98. Buying a Fishing Boat
When he arrived in the urban area, Zhong Dabao asked, "By the way, Lao Wang, what are we doing in the city?"
Wang Bo sighed: "After driving for two and a half hours, you finally remembered to ask me the purpose? I am going to buy a boat, a small and medium-sized fishing boat. Then you can go to sea with my dad. It will be more comfortable and relaxed. Make some money."
"What, you're buying a fishing boat? It's so expensive, it's several million! The down payment will be several million!" Zhong Dabao exclaimed.
Wang Bo has a treasure in the basement in his hand, and now he is very open to money, and said casually: "It's okay, it can be bought for several million. You drive to Donghai Shipyard. I called yesterday."
Zhong Dabao slammed on the brakes, and Wang Bo was caught off guard and bumped into the driver's seat, grinning in pain, "Damn it, what are you doing? Why did you brake suddenly?"
"Why don't you wear your seat belt?"
"Do you have a seat belt in this car? I want to wear it!"
"Oh, yes, the seat belt is rotten, let me rip it off."
Wang Bo: "..."
Zhong Dabao thought for a while and said, "Don't change the subject, what I want to say is, what are you thinking, Lao Wang, do you really want to buy a big fishing boat?"
"Who changed the subject? Besides, I'm not buying a large fishing boat, but a small or medium-sized one, with about 300 horsepower." Wang Bo rubbed his forehead and said.
This was an idea he had after going out to sea with his father yesterday. He had to buy a suitable fishing boat for his family.
"Three hundred horsepower is not a big fishing boat? Are you going to buy a new one?"
Wang Bo nodded, and Zhong Dabao looked at him with a second-hand look, and said, "People say I'm stupid, but I think you're even more stupid than me! Why buy a new fishing boat these days? Just buy a second-hand boat, it's cheap and old. too much!"
Wang Bo also had the idea of buying a second-hand fishing boat, but he didn’t have relevant channels. He was afraid of being cheated when he bought a second-hand boat, so he would rather spend more money to buy a new fishing boat.
Zhong Dabao said: "It's okay, I have a relationship, a hard relationship, and I will definitely be able to buy a good boat. Besides, if you buy a new boat, you have to get approval from the municipal fishery and marine supervision department. I know you have to prepare for it." What's the procedure?"
Without waiting for Wang Bo to answer, he began to count with his fingers: "1. Approval form for buying and selling marine fishing boats in the province; 2. Application form for purchasing fishing boats; 3. Copy of fishing license; 4. Copy of ownership certificate of fishing boats ;5. Have you prepared a copy of the inspection certificate of the fishing vessel?"
Wang Bo stared at him blankly, and Zhong Dabao said triumphantly, "Surprised? Don't you understand? Stupid, aren't you?"
"I'm really surprised, how can you remember so much?"
Of course, Wang Bo has a lot of materials to prepare for buying a boat, but he doesn’t need to prepare them himself. Now that the shipyard industry is in a downturn, as long as he buys a fishing boat worth more than one million yuan, the shipyard will help with these materials.
Without Wang Bo's consent, the van started up again, and Lao Wang, who was lying on the driver's platform before, was thrown back on the chair like bread: "Dabao, please step on the horse and let me live!"
The van drove to the city pier. Although Haiqing City does not have a high-quality port, it is a city near the sea after all. There is still a small seaport where some large and small ships park.
On the way, Zhong Dabao called a man named Brother Jun and said that he wanted to buy a fishing boat with a horsepower of about 300 horsepower. The other party agreed to let him drive over to see the boat.
Not long after their car stopped, a Porsche Cayenne drove over, and then a middle-aged man with five short stature got out of the car.
Seeing Zhong Dabao, the man came up and punched him enthusiastically in the chest, and said with a smile: "Dabao, I'm here with Brother Jun today, and Brother Jun will arrange for you, good food and drink, and a good girl to serve you!"
Zhong Dabao smiled and said, "Brother Jun, we will talk about the meal later. My brother wants to buy a boat, a 300-horsepower fishing net tugboat. You have the most boats in your hand. Let us introduce one."
Brother Jun shook hands with Wang Bo, and introduced himself: "I am Song Zijun, and I have a lifelong friendship with Dabao. Your fishing boats are ready, and the four best 300-horsepower trawlers in my hand are here. Come with me." .”
Hearing the name Song Zijun, Wang Bo was secretly surprised, how could Zhong Dabao have a relationship with this big guy?
Although he is not from the urban area of Haiqing, Song Zijun's name has been heard of before. He is one of the vice presidents of Donghai Shipyard, the largest local enterprise.
Song Zijun took them to see eight fishing boats successively, four with 300 horsepower, two with 280 horsepower, and two with 320 horsepower. They were all probably new and good boats.
He didn't have to worry about Song Zijun cheating them. With the strength of the other party's family property, it was impossible for them to entertain them in person because of hundreds of thousands of profits.
In addition, Song Zijun was tactful, he understood Wang Bo's worry, and gave the driver a wink after boarding the boat.
The driver quietly said to Wang Bo: "Brother Dabao saved the lives of Brother Jun's twin sons, so you can rest assured when you buy a boat from us."
Wang Bo was stunned, no wonder people like Song Zijun came to receive them in person, but he didn't know how Zhong Dabao came into contact with the two sons of the Song family.
In the end, what he settled on was a 30-meter-long, 5.2-meter-wide fishing boat. This boat has only been out of the factory for six years, and it seems to be in good condition. The procedures are very complete.
After he made his choice, Song Zijun nodded calmly, and said, "Little brother has a good eye, this is indeed a good boat, 1.5 million yuan, you drive away, and I will take care of the formalities for you!"
The price is not expensive at all. A new fishing boat with 300 horsepower costs 2.5 million or more, and a second-hand boat usually costs 1.5 million. But this boat is so well maintained that the asking price is 100,000 more. no problem.
Song Zijun asked him how to pay, and if he wanted a loan, he had an acquaintance in the bank.
Wang Bo shook his head and said cash payment, 20% deposit first, and the balance after the transfer is completed.
Hearing that he had paid in full, Song Zijun's face showed a momentary look of surprise, and he couldn't help saying, "Little brother is really rich."
Zhong Dabao immediately said proudly: "Of course, my brother is very good. He is the only one in our village who was admitted to a national key university!"
Both Wang Bo and Song Zijun laughed, and the latter said, "That's amazing. I, Song Zijun, didn't even graduate from junior high school."
Zhong Dabao said: "It's nothing, I haven't graduated from junior high school either."
Even the driver laughed this time.
Song Zijun was in charge of the lunch. He took his wife and twin sons and booked a table at Shangri-La, the largest five-star hotel in Haiqing City.
During the meal, Wang Bo found out that Song Zijun's two sons were only in the second grade of primary school, and a group of children mischievously went swimming in the sea this summer. As a result, the water was cold, and both of his children had cramps. Fortunately, Zhong Dabao was fishing around, and he jumped down to save someone without saying a word, and then there was today's scene.
