Go back to the valley to farm

Chapter 42 First Voyage
Chapter 42 maiden voyage

I ran to the riverside and dialed Wang Qingguo's phone: "Brother Qingguo, can you spare some time? I'm at the shipyard in the county. I don't know if I can buy a boat. Can you come and see it for me?" good?"

Wang Qingguo agreed there, Li Junge hung up the phone, came back and said to the boss: "Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to come over and take a look. How much is your boat for sale?"

The old man said: "For the face of Chao An's father, I will charge you a cost price. I think Chao An has told you about this ship. There are some special circumstances that have been in my hands for a long time."

"But it's not the problem of the ship itself. It turned out that the boss who ordered the ship thought his ship was unreliable, so he purposely made it wider and thicker. It's really the real thing!"

Then he said: "Oh! It's a pity that something happened before the boat was changed. If you sincerely want it, boss, I will charge you 35, and you can drive away with 35!"

Not long after, Wang Qingguo arrived, greeted several people, and asked, "Pi Wa, is this the boat you're talking about?"

Li Junge said: "Well, for this one, the boss Lion asked for 35, please show me how it goes."

The old man immediately called out to Zhuang Tianqu, and said: "Young man must speak with conscience, I really don't have a lion to open my mouth!"

Wang Qingguo turned around a few times, and then ran to the back of the engine room and stayed for a long time. He came out and pulled Li Junge aside and said, "Is there anything wrong with this boat? It stands to reason that 40 yuan can't be taken down."

Li Junge also whispered: "Why is it so expensive?"

Wang Qingguo said: "The tonnage of this ship is 25 tons. In fact, it is far more than that. I think it will be up to [-] tons. The corresponding power must keep up. You know that many terminals charge by tonnage. The head management fee is also different, so you know, if this ship is used for transportation, it will save a lot of money for the ship owner."

Li Junge understood that this was actually a ship with a design exceeding the standard, and said, "That means it can be done?"

Wang Qingguo said: "If you can run through the pier and not be held accountable for exceeding the standard, then you can do it."

Having said that, Li Junge figured it out, this old man is really quite real, and he wondered if the backlog was too long, so he was in a hurry to make a move.The problem of exceeding the standard is actually not a problem. The county is still in a hurry to open navigation, but the large tonnage also improves safety.

So he walked back and said to the old man, "Boss, is this really a one-buy price?"

The old man said: "There is really no way to let it go, so let me fix the odds and ends that this boat needs for you at most, such as life jackets, tires tied on the outer ring, and tarpaulins. You can solicit customers directly when you drive out, so these will be given to you, how about it?"

Li Junge was still hesitating, and said: "These are not worth a lot of money."

The old man stomped his feet and said, "Then I'll give you a few more years of warranty, and the maintenance within five years will also count as mine. Is this okay for the head office?"

Li Junge said: "OK! Then we will make a deal!"

Then I suddenly thought of a question: "No, why doesn't this ship have an anchor?"

The old man took out a five-six-meter bamboo pole from the side and inserted it into a hole above the bow. The pole passed through the hole and came out from the bottom of the boat. The big iron cone on the pole was deep stuck in the sand of the river beach.

The old man proudly said to Li Junge: "Look! This is inappropriate!"

Li Junge had a black line on his forehead, Zhu Chaoan and Wang Congjun were rolling on the ground laughing, although they were all just enough, they were not lacking in anything!
After coming out of the shipyard, several people were still joking there, Zhu Chaoan said: "You said that you want to make up an advertisement for this ship, what should you say?"

The black line on Li Junge's forehead has not faded, and he said: "This 360-degree panoramic window is indispensable."

Wang Congjun said with a smile: "To be close to nature, fresh air is also indispensable."

Zhu Chaoan also thought of one, and said, "Is it possible to have retro feelings?"

At this time, I only heard the voice of the owner of the shipyard floating along the wind from afar: "Oh my god, this ship has held down my funds for more than half a year! Thank God this is finally a shot! I will never build this kind of out-of-date ship again! "

Li Junge said: "Yes, this has to be added with a limited edition!"

Several people laughed.

Wang Qingguo said: "Pi Wa, don't be ridiculous, you are pulling this boat to open Aoxi, right? Have you found the boatman?"

Li Junge said: "I also said that I should hurry up and learn to be a driver or something, and then I will take shifts with Uncle Wu. Isn't it just right when you come back? I don't need to learn how to drive a boat. By the way, isn't my sister-in-law? Have you ever worked on a boat? Then be a waiter, hehehe, all right!"

Wang Qingguo was also very happy, and said, "That's great, I'm still worried about the lack of craftsmanship, and now there is still a boat to go back."

Li Junge said: "Then in two days, call Uncle Wu. We have been on the Wuxi River twice. By then, Xiaosong should be discharged from the hospital, so I just picked him up."

In the next two days, Li Junge went to take the exam to obtain various certificates. With the cheating tool of Space Island, endorsement is not a problem. Now, he went to the toilet with a bunch of reference materials and squatted for an hour. After coming out, he passed the exam smoothly. , Leng froze the invigilator for a moment.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and several people picked up Xiaosong from the hospital early in the morning and came to the shipyard.

The old man in the shipyard is quite a decent man. The boat has already parked by the water, refueled, and made the boat red and colorful.Seeing them coming, they lit a string of firecrackers.

Uncle Wu Biao had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Li Junge and his party coming, he said to Li Junge: "Pi Wa, you are making a big noise! ​​Just blinking your eyes, you are really capable to build such a big boat! "

Li Junge helped Wang Xiaosong get on the boat, and said, "What can I do? I'm rushing every inch to get the ducks on the shelves. After that, my fifth cousin and brother Qingguo will help me."

Wang Qingguo said: "I've understood these two days. Erpi, you have done such a great thing for the villagers. Everyone will remember your kindness."

Everyone entered the cabin, Zhu Fanmei said: "Erpi! Come on, say a few words to encourage us!"

Wang Xiaosong and the others really applauded.

Li Junge supported the boat, facing the wind in the river, and said: "Then I will say a few words! Today, our Nongkai Company and its first department, the Ministry of Transportation, are all made up! The first sailing It's a good start, and that's our first distinguished passenger: Comrade Wang Xiaosong!"

Everyone laughed, and Wang Xiaosong was so excited that he clapped his hands.

Li Junge went on to say: "Whether the boat is good or not, the waterway has finally been opened up, and our Lijiagou will go back to the road of development. Everyone here is the leader of our Lijiagou to return to the road of development. hero!"

Several people applauded loudly again.

Li Junge came again: "The next month, Uncle Wu and Qing Guo's task is to quickly familiarize themselves with the operation of this ship and prepare for the next lychees. Sister-in-law must be familiar with selling tickets, inspecting goods, listing, and paying. The series of tasks of collecting money. We will do a good job when the time comes!"

Everyone shouted again: "Okay!"

Then Li Junge thought about it again, and said to Zhu Fanmei: "Well, there seems to be nothing to say, sister-in-law, how is it? Is it okay to say that?"

Zhu Fanmei and the others applauded violently, and laughed loudly: "Well said! This is at least the level of the old village chief!"

Li Junge pulled out the boat and said, "Then, let's set sail!"

Uncle Wu is an old-fashioned way before the disintegration of the shipping company. It has been a long time since I have touched such a big boat, so I hurried to get into the aft cabin to have a good time.

The diesel engine roared first, and slowly backed away from the river beach, then turned sideways, and finally accelerated gradually, left the river and drove towards the mouth of the Hongshui River.

Looking at the large ships on the dock of the Yangtze River, Li Junge said enviously: "Look at these hundreds of thousands of tons, ours is like a small shrimp."

Wang Qingguo said: "Pi Wa, those boats look glamorous, but the owner of the boat is actually having a hard time."

Li Junge said, "Why is that?"

Wang Qingguo said: "What are the advantages of shipping? It is the large load capacity. If a large-tonnage ship is not fully loaded, the owner of the ship will suffer."

"So generally, when coal sales are booming, shipping is popular. At that time, a [-]-ton ship can earn nearly one million a year."

"It's a pity, that thing is a cyclical industry, if it's not the right time to enter the industry, then the ship owner will have to cry blind!"

Li Junge looked closely at the boats, and it was true that most of them were empty.

Wang Qingguo said again: "So, now our boat is the most suitable for Lijiagou. Its operating cost is low. It runs twice a day to Lijiagou-Pan'ao Township-the county line, and it can be done just by soliciting customers. If you get your money back, if there are a lot of lala goods in the middle, that's a net profit."

After talking, the boat entered the Hongshui River. Although the current river water has receded, it is still a little muddy, which is called "two muddy water" locally.The once high water level on both sides of the strait has receded, and it is full of red mud.

These silts are good things, and they are good soil for growing wheat and beans after autumn.

After driving for a while, the boat turned into the Wuxi River, and the backflowing red water stained the clear water at the mouth of the Wuxi River into yellow. After driving until the big banyan tree at the wharf of Pan'ao Township could be seen in the distance, a ridge appeared in the river ahead. Horizontal lines, yellow and green on both sides.

From a distance, I saw Liang Huili jumping and shouting, waving.

Uncle Wu had already seen it through the glass window, and drove directly to the pier without Li Junge's greeting.

After finding a river beach by the pier, Uncle Wu leaned on the boat, Li Junge inserted the boat pole into the anchor hole, and pushed the springboard off the bow.

Liang Huili jumped onto the boat, thumped Li Junge's chest and said, "Well, you bastard, you did such a big thing quietly!"

Li Junge said: "It's really catching up with every inch. Now I don't know where to save the famine. The good guy is 400 million short."

　Hahaha, I was going to chase a chapter tonight, but I suddenly realized that I made a mistake in my calculations. Lao Zhou is very insensitive to numbers, and actually counted 800 million as 80. Fortunately, the manuscript was not sent out, otherwise it would be a big joke up!Uh, in the future, everything related to numbers will have to be counted three times!
