Chapter 382: How dare you pay this price for this second-hand fishing boat?
Chen Hui looked at his watch. It was just after nine o'clock.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Huihong would start preparing lunch at 10:30 and eat around 11:30.

As long as we leave before ten o'clock, we will still have time even if we go around to town to buy some tofu and side dishes.

"Uncle, it's still early, can you accompany me to see Wu Gang's boat?"

"I know a friend who works in a shipyard."

"Let's take a look at the condition of the fishing boat first, then talk to him and ask him to help estimate the appropriate price for the purchase."

Chen Hui grabbed Wu Shuisheng who was about to leave with the bag and said.

"Do you know everyone who works at the shipyard? Where did you get to know these people?" Wu Shuisheng wondered.

"Friends introduce friends, and friends introduce friends, and after a while, you get to know more people," said Chen Hui.

"Okay! I just happened to see Wu Gang and his two sons over there."

Wu Shuisheng put the fish head and fish meat with Li Jianshe first, and took Chen Hui to the other side of the dock.

He ran into Wu Gang who had just come back in the morning and finished packing up his fishing boat after selling all the seafood.

"Wu Gang!" Wu Shuisheng shouted with full energy.

Wu Gang was startled, turned around and greeted, "Is this your relative? The one who made nearly a thousand this morning?"

There are so many people at the dock, and gossip spreads very quickly.

Within half a morning, everyone at the dock knew that Wu Shuisheng's relatives had made a lot of money.

Wu Gang's two sons were about to leave, but when they heard the noise they put down their things and came over.

"Where did the small thousand come from? It's only a few hundred dollars."

Wu Shuisheng waved his hand, stretched his neck to look at Wu Gang's fishing boat and asked, "I heard you want to sell your boat?"

"I will be 70 after the Chinese New Year. I really can't do it anymore."

Wu Gang sighed, turned around and said to the two people beside him: "You two go back first and take the things back!"

"Dad? You want to sell the fishing boat? How come we didn't know?"

One of the older ones asked.

Upon hearing this, Wu Shuisheng immediately lost interest in asking further questions.

"This is my own fishing boat. I can sell it if I want. Why should I discuss it with you and wait for your consent?"

"Just go back when I tell you to. Why are you asking so many questions?"

Wu Gang glared at his two sons.

"Dad, if you don't go out to sea, what will we eat?"

"That's right, Dad. Why don't you work for a few more years?"

Wu Gang's two sons spoke one after another.

"Go to your cousin's boat. I have already told him."

"I'm chatting with Uncle Shuisheng, you guys should leave quickly." Wu Gang said impatiently.

His two sons were obviously not satisfied with this arrangement and refused to leave no matter what.

Chen Hui reached out and pulled Wu Shuisheng's clothes.

Wu Shuisheng also realized that something was wrong and said with a smile:

"Brother Wu Gang, why don't you do some ideological work at home first? We have other things to do, so we can talk next time."

Wu Gang is quite interested.

He pulled Wu Shuisheng and said, "Don't worry about them. These two useless sons can't be my master. You can go up and take a look at the boat first."

In this situation, why bother looking at a ship?

Wu Shuisheng said a few perfunctory words and slipped away with Chen Hui.

Even after walking away, he still turned back and said, "Don't buy this boat. If you do buy it, you will have a lot of troubles in the future."

"That's not necessarily true. I think this old man is pretty tough."

"Give him a few days to get his house in order, and then we'll inquire about the price."

Chen Hui had just finished speaking.

Wu Gang trotted over and said that his two sons had no objections, and asked Wu Shuisheng to go over and take a look at the fishing boat.

"Ok?"

Chen Hui looked back in surprise.

The older of his two sons had already left with his belongings, and the way he walked away showed that he was very unhappy.

The younger son did not leave, but stood beside the fishing boat and looked over here.

"No, that's not necessary. Let's talk about it next time. We also have things to do." Wu Shuisheng kicked Chen Hui and said.

"Let's go check out the fishing boat first."

"Uncle Wu, how much do you want to sell this fishing boat for?" Chen Hui asked.

"Let's go on board and watch and talk."

Wu Gang invited Chen Hui and Wu Shuisheng warmly, and they went over and got on the fishing boat with him.

Chen Hui first took a look at the overall situation.

Although they are both old fishing boats, Wu Gang's looks much newer than Wu Guang's.

However, the equipment gap is quite large.

There was no complete set of net-lifting equipment, the fish boxes used were not big, and there was no cabin.

If you want to take a nap while out at sea overnight, you can only bring a blanket and find a corner to lean on.

The sea breeze is strong in the open sea, and the deck is wet and hard most of the time. Even if you can take a nap, it is very uncomfortable.

Wu Gang persisted under these conditions until he was seventy years old, and his two sons had to help their old father work for a few more years.

"How filial you are." Chen Hui sneered.

"What did you say?"

Wu Gang's eldest son also boarded the fishing boat. After hearing what Chen Hui said, he questioned him dissatisfiedly.

"I said you are filial and good at being sons!"

Chen Hui was not afraid and repeated it again.

This directly broke down Wu Gang's youngest son, who stepped forward to teach Chen Hui a lesson.

Wu Shuisheng heard the noise and hurried over to ask, "What are you doing? What's going on?"

"Wu Xiaowei, what are you doing?" Wu Gang shouted.

"He, he, he..." Wu Xiaowei pointed at Chen Hui, wanting to complain but not knowing where to start.

Strictly speaking, Chen Hui didn't say anything excessive.

"Uncle Wu, how much are you going to sell this boat for?" Chen Hui asked.

Chen Hui felt that Wu Gang’s fishing boat was average.

If the price is not right, there is no point in looking at the details.

"Um"

Wu Gang thought about it for a while and said slowly:

"I thought, let's sell it for 4,000 to 5,000 yuan."

"My boat is a big one. It was expensive to buy, but it can be sold for a little more than a small fishing boat."

"Our boat has a diesel engine. It cost about a thousand yuan to install the engine a few years ago."

puff.

Now it was Chen Hui's turn to break down and he laughed out loud on the spot.

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Xiaowei asked with a frown.

"What's wrong? Is the price not suitable?" Wu Gang asked carefully with a smile.

"Wu Gang, your price is too high."

"The fishing boat that belonged to the house opposite me last year was one meter longer than yours and sold for less than five thousand dollars."

Although Wei Jianjun had reminded him before coming that Wu Gang was not a very honest person.

Even after seeing it for real, Wu Shuisheng still felt very unhappy.

"I know the one you're talking about. His boat is older than mine. Mine is well protected and I repaint it every year," said Wu Gang.

"Uncle Wu, do you know how much a new fishing boat costs now?"

"A seven or eight meter ship with an engine costs just over 5,000 yuan. I just asked a friend at the shipyard a few days ago."

"I'll offer you three thousand. What do you think?"

Chen Hui directly broke Wu Gang's price fantasy.
