Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 546 Sailing Home

Niu Xiaoqiang took out the toilet paper to wipe off the oil on his hands, "Let's go, let's discuss the price with Boss Li."

Boss Li is indeed very down-to-earth and easy-going. He didn't say anything, and proposed a price of 6 yuan.

Niu Xiaoqiang only brought 5 yuan, even if he brought 6 yuan, it is impossible for him to agree.Chinese people like to bargain when they buy everything, and they always feel that they are at a disadvantage if they don't bargain.

The two started their point of view statement. Both sides said their own reasons and tried their best to safeguard their own interests.

After nearly an hour of tug-of-war, Boss Li finally nodded: "Okay, according to your wishes, I can sell it to you for 9000 yuan, and as long as you pay the money, I will sign a transfer contract with you. "

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed, opened the backpack, took out 1000 yuan from the bundled money, and handed the rest to Boss Li: "You check it in person, and we will sign the contract after the check."

Boss Li didn't delay, and quickly counted the banknotes, then took out a pen and paper from the drawer in the cockpit with a smile, and wrote the transfer contract in front of the two of them.

After Niu Xiaoqiang signed, Boss Li kindly reminded: "This ship needs to go to the Transportation Bureau to go through the relevant procedures before it can operate. Don't forget, otherwise if they are discovered by the Transportation Bureau, they will detain the ship. I am familiar with the people in the Transportation Bureau, if you need it, you can call me, and I will help you with the relevant procedures for free."

Niu Xiaoqiang thanked him a lot, and took out a pack of Ashima and handed it to Boss Li: "Thank you very much. Someone will call you after the new year, please help us to go there then."

Boss Li is a straightforward person, and he is not pretentious. He put the cigarettes in his pocket directly: "No problem, I will be there whenever I am called."

Niu Xiaoqiang continued: "We don't know how to sail a boat, so I wonder if you can help us sail the boat back?"

"Where do you live?"

"In Aoshan Town."

Boss Li showed a embarrassed look: "If it's not too far away, of course I have nothing to say. Unfortunately, my husband just fell ill and was hospitalized in the past two days. My two sons are both in the army, and I don't have time to go home for a reunion during the Chinese New Year." , I really can’t leave, how about I invite someone who can sail a boat for you?”

Niu Xiaoqiang was about to nod when he heard the words, but Wu Ping interjected, "Boss Li, how much does it cost to hire someone?"

"It's not enough to ask someone for help during the Chinese New Year. Besides, it's a bit far away from the concave mountain, and it will take at least a day to go back and forth. I guess it will cost at least ten yuan to hire a moving person."

Wu Ping turned to look at Niu Xiaoqiang: "You'd better pay me the salary, I'll take the boat back."

Niu Xiaoqiang shook his head vigorously: "Sister Ping, don't mess around, this is not a joke, what if something happens?"

Wu Ping insisted: "Don't worry, it's not too difficult to sail, you just need to be careful."

Niu Xiaoqiang waited to talk, but Boss Li said with a smile: "It's really not too difficult to sail, just drive slowly."

Wu Ping smiled and said: "Did you hear that? The old ship owner said it's not difficult, so don't be so stern, let's set off quickly, and don't forget to pay me the wages when the time comes."

Niu Xiaoqiang also wanted to experience the feeling of sailing, so he nodded: "Okay, let's go."

After the two boarded the ship, they checked the fuel and found that there was enough fuel in it, so they stopped talking and started the motor.

Niu Xiaoqiang stood in front of the console: "Let me sail the boat, please help me watch it, and remember to remind me in time when there is danger, and I will pay the wages."

Wu Ping blinked: "Can you do it?"

"Don't worry, I'm definitely stronger than you."

Wu Ping snorted: "Look at your virtue, you can come if you come."

Niu Xiaoqiang stopped talking nonsense and carefully controlled the boat to turn around.It took several minutes to finally adjust the direction, and then drove the boat upstream towards Aoshan Town.

At the beginning, Niu Xiaoqiang was very nervous, for fear of a collision accident, but after driving a certain distance, Niu Xiaoqiang was relieved.

Now during the Spring Festival, there are very few ships on the river, so the probability of collision becomes very low.

Wu Ping looked at the river before and after, and said with a smile: "There are no boats on the river, do you want to speed up?"

Niu Xiaoqiang shook his head: "It's better to drive slowly, the motor of this boat is too old, I'm worried that if you drive too fast, the motor will break down."

Wu Ping sat down on the chair in the driver's cab: "If we continue to drive at this speed, we may have to drive until midnight to get home. What will we do then?"

"If you can't, just spend the night on the boat. Anyway, there are bedding, food and drink here. If you don't want to, you can go to the duty room of the farm to rest."

Wu Ping thought for a while, and then said, "Let's see when the time comes."

In order to pass the boring time, the two chatted one after another, which was not boring.

When it got dark, the boat was still more than 30 miles away from Aoshan Town.Fortunately, there are channel lights on the river, so Niu Xiaoqiang is not worried about driving the boat to the shore.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the ship finally arrived at Aoshan Town.Niu Xiaoqiang slowed down the speed, turned to look at Wu Ping: "Sister Ping, have you decided where to rest?"

Wu Ping was eating crisp candy: "What do you think?"

"I'd better go home and rest."

Wu Ping thought for a while, and finally made a decision: "I'd better go to the farm. It's my turn to be on duty tonight. I won't go to watch for fear of problems."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded, he sent Wu Ping to the other side, took out ten yuan and handed it over.

Wu Ping was not too polite, she put the money into her close pocket with a smile, and blew a kiss to Niu Xiaoqiang: "Big Boss, don't forget to call me next time you have work."

Niu Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes and said to himself: I didn't expect you to be as serious as my sisters.

"It's too dark outside, be careful, don't fall."

"Don't worry, I often walk at night, nothing will go wrong, Xiaoqiang, goodbye."

"Well, bye."

After sending Wu Ping away, Niu Xiaoqiang drove the boat to the wharf of Aoshan Town, fixed the hull of the boat, locked the cabin door, got up and went home.

At [-] o'clock the next morning, Niu Xiaoqiang found Fang Dongping, Chen Fanghua and Li Xiaofeng, and the four of them used a cart from the factory to transport a [-]-cylinder diesel engine to the dock to replace the boat's motor.

Fang Dongping knew the reason why Niu Xiaoqiang bought the boat, but the other two didn't understand, but they didn't ask too much.

The four of them worked until the afternoon, and finally replaced the old motor on the boat.
