Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 872: Buy a luxury fishing boat

"By the way, aunt, these cigarettes and wine are from me to honor my uncle, please put them away first!"

Lin Yi saw the moved look on Lin Guanshui's face and hurriedly reached into his bag and took out the two pieces of Soft China and the two bottles of Maotai.

Although the value of these cigarettes and wine was far less than that of the bracelet, he believed it was enough to make his uncle happy.

Lin Guanshui looked at the Ruan Zhonghua and Maotai that suddenly appeared in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands hurriedly and said: "No, no, your uncle has no need to smoke such good cigarettes and drink such good wine." ah!"

As she said that, she wanted to put the cigarettes and wine back into the bag Lin Yi was holding.

However, Lin Yi immediately hid, and then said with a serious face: "Hey, I said you are going too far! This is my filial piety to my uncle, how can you help him make a decision."

"You, you kid, are so serious, okay, okay, okay, let me help him collect it first!"

Lin Guanshui frowned, then nodded helplessly and said.

However, after such an interruption, the tears that had just seeped out of the corners of her eyes were put back unknowingly, and her mood became lighter.

After she put her things away, Lin Yi immediately asked about the fishing boat.

“Auntie, do you know where anyone wants to sell fishing boats?”

"Fishing boat? Why do you ask this suddenly? Do you plan to come back and become a fisherman?"

Lin Guanshui was stunned for a moment, then asked with some confusion.

Lin Yi heard this and hurriedly explained: "No, I want to buy it for my dad so that he can have something to do."

"So this is ah!"

When Lin Guanshui heard Lin Yi's explanation, a flash of surprise flashed across his face. Then he suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly: "Brother, are you quitting the job on the breeding farm?"

"Huh! This brat insists on making me and your sister-in-law resign!"

Lin Guanhai snorted softly, pretending to be a little dissatisfied and replied.

However, he couldn't suppress the proud look in his eyes.

Anyone who sees him like this can tell that he is showing off.

Lin Guanshui is naturally no exception.

Seeing Lin Guanhai's insincere expression, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Brother, Xiao Yi really feels sorry for you and your sister-in-law! You can enjoy having such a filial son from now on!"

When Lin Guanhai heard this, he couldn't help showing a proud look on his face.

If it weren't for his habit of keeping a low profile and the principle of not revealing his wealth, he would probably want to tell the old couple that Lin Yi gave them a jade bracelet and jade pendant worth tens of millions.

Seeing his behavior, Zhang Yulan immediately felt disgusted.

"Okay, there are no outsiders here, what are you pretending to be here?"

"Guanshui, please ignore your brother. First think about whether there is anyone who wants to sell fishing boats. If so, while it is still early, we can go directly to find someone to negotiate the price."

"Sister-in-law, let me think about it!"

Lin Guanshui saw Zhang Yulan speaking and hurriedly searched in his mind.

After a while, she recalled that she had heard the proprietress of their stall mention the fishing boat not long ago, and then she hurriedly took out her mobile phone and called their proprietress.

Soon, she got specific information from their boss's wife.

"Brother, sister-in-law, Xiao Yi, I just asked our landlady. She said that she has a relative who happens to have a nine-meter-long fishing boat that she wants to transfer. What do you think? If it works, I will do it now. I’ll take you to our boss lady.”

"How long is it? Is that a yacht?"

Lin Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he hurriedly asked.

"It should be so! I don't know the details very well. I have to see it live to know."

Lin Guanshui shook his head slightly, and then answered with some uncertainty.

"Dad, Mom, how about we go take a look first?"

Lin Yi turned to look at Lin Guanhai and Zhang Yulan and asked for their opinions.

"Okay, then let's go and have a look!"

Lin Guanhai and Zhang Yulan naturally did not object to Lin Yi's decision, and immediately nodded and agreed.

Soon, together with Lin Yi, they followed Lin Guanshui out the door and walked towards the seafood wholesale market on the street in front. After a while, they met Lin Guanshui's proprietress.

The landlady's name is Qiu Qixia. She is about 35 years old. She is a little fat, but her skin is very white and tender, and her face is round. She looks very rich.

Since Lin Yi often came to visit Lin Guanshui in the past, he was not a stranger to him. As soon as they met, he took the initiative to step forward and called Sister Xia with a smile.

When Qiu Qixia saw Lin Yi, she didn't recognize him as Chen Guanshui's maternal nephew for a moment, but she just thought he looked quite interesting.

Later, after Lin Guanshui's introduction, she remembered Lin Yi, and the smile on her face became closer.

"I said you look familiar to me! It turns out you are Sister Lin's nephew! I haven't seen you for a while, but you are becoming more and more handsome."

"Do you have a girlfriend now? Do you want me to introduce you to one?"

"."

Lin Yi looked at Qiu Qixia's eyes shining, and suddenly felt funny in her heart.

Ever since he became successful in cultivation and achieved financial freedom, basically every time he met an acquaintance, he would think of introducing someone to him.

Perhaps, this is called a rare commodity!

If it were another time, maybe he would be interested in seeing what kind of girl Qiu Qixia could introduce to him, but now, his parents were standing next to him, and he didn't want Lin Guanhai and Zhang Yulan to get involved.

"Sister Xia, don't be in a hurry to introduce the target. We came here this time because we heard that your relative has a fishing boat to be transferred. I wonder if it is not convenient for you to contact us now?"

"Convenient, convenient, what's the inconvenience? You wait for me to lock the door first, and then I will take you to my relatives' place."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Qixia immediately nodded happily and agreed.

After saying that, she twisted her plump and charming waist hard, walked into the stall to get the key, and wanted to pull down the rolling door and close it.Lin Guanshui saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Soon, the rolling shutter door was locked.

Afterwards, Qiu Qixia didn't waste much time and led Lin Yi and others directly towards the port outside.

Not long after, they arrived in front of a double-decker yacht that was nearly ten meters long.

Lin Yi had seen this yacht before, but there was no one on the yacht at the time, so he didn't know that the yacht was going to be transferred.

Qiu Qixia took a few glances into the yacht and found that no one was there. She immediately picked up her mobile phone and made a call in front of Lin Yi and others.

After saying a few words, she put down her phone, smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, my cousin will be here soon."

"Sister Xia, I'm really troubling you!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi smiled softly and said politely.

"Hey, why bother? If you can really buy this boat, I would also like to thank you for helping my cousin solve a big problem!"

Qiu Qixia waved her hand, then said with a smile.

big trouble?
Is there something wrong with this ship?

Thinking of this, Lin Yi hurriedly asked: "Sister Xia, what do you say?"

Qiu Qixia was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly explained: "Well, the thing is like this. My cousin originally opened a restaurant in the city. He made some money from tour groups a few years ago, so he bought this place. We have a yacht and we are going to expand the business of taking tourists out for fishing.”

"But you also know what the situation has been in the past few years. In the past few months, my cousin's restaurant really couldn't continue to operate, so he thought of transferring the boat so that he wouldn't have to spend so much money every year. Spend enough money to support it.”

"I just talked to several customers in a row, but couldn't reach an agreement, so I said, if you really buy this boat, you will really help my cousin solve a big problem."

After hearing this, Lin Yi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but asked with some confusion: "Sister Xia, if you tell me these things, aren't you afraid that I will use these things to lower the price with your cousin?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Even if I don't tell you, you can find out by asking people at the pier."

When Qiu Qixia heard this, she waved her hands disapprovingly and spoke without even thinking about it.

When Lin Yi saw Qiu Qixia being so frank, she couldn't help but have a great impression of this well-known elder sister.

No wonder she is able to own a stall in the seafood wholesale market with annual sales of several million at such a young age. Not to mention anything else, just treating people with sincerity is enough to make her business prosperous.

After a while, Qiu Qixia's cousin Qiu Haihua hurried over, and then enthusiastically invited Lin Yi and others to the boat.

Moreover, he seemed to have guessed that Qiu Qixia would tell Lin Yi and others about his situation, so before Lin Yi could ask, he took the initiative to tell the reason why he wanted to sell the boat, and directly gave the reserve price.

"Well, little brother, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. When I bought this boat, it cost me nearly 110 W in total. If you really want it, I can give you the lowest price of 60, that's fine. If not, let’s just make friends!”

At this time, Lin Yi had also taken the time to use his mobile phone to check the configuration and price of the fishing boat online, and knew that Qiu Haihua was not exaggerating.

Moreover, a second-hand yacht that is about four years old has a discount of 40.00%. Although it is still a bit expensive, it is not unacceptable.

As for the specific situation, we still have to look at the specific situation of this yacht.

Qiu Haihua felt a little happy when he saw that Lin Yi didn't raise any objections, and then hurriedly took Lin Yi and Lin Guanhai to check around the ship, and he also introduced all aspects of the situation.

"This boat is a new type of luxury fishing boat independently produced by us in China. Its advanced hull design makes people look and feel very beautiful. Moreover, its sailing performance is also particularly superior, with good stability and strong resistance to wind and waves."

“In addition, you see, its front and rear decks can be freely shuttled around, and it has a relatively spacious stern deck. At the same time, the boat is also equipped with multiple fishing rod sockets, live fish cabins, storage compartments and can be easily folded. The sofa seats can accommodate up to eight people fishing on the boat at the same time.”

“Furthermore, its interior is equipped with a salon-style cockpit, bathroom, double bed, refrigerator, kitchen counter, wine cabinet, etc. It can be said that it is all-in-one, allowing you to fully enjoy the fun of going out to sea and fishing. "

"If it weren't for the fact that I don't have enough money, I would really be reluctant to sell this boat."

"Think about it! Sometimes if you are tired from work, you can make an appointment with a few friends at any time, go fishing together in a boat, and relax. How pleasant it would be."

"Even if you have enough time, you can experience the feeling of lying on the vast sea and watching the stars!"

"After all, with this luxurious cabin, you don't have to worry about sudden wind or rain, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but chuckle and joked: "Brother Hua, I really didn't expect you to be so professional in your introduction! If I hadn't known that you were the ship owner, I would have thought you were a salesman from some shipyard. !”

Qiu Haihua didn't feel embarrassed when he heard this. Instead, he said with a self-deprecating look: "I can't help it. Isn't this just to attract more customers and make more money! So in the past few years, as I talked, I gradually became He’s like a salesperson who specializes in selling boats.”

"If you are satisfied with what I heard, then help me buy this boat!"

"Okay! Because you are so dedicated, I will buy this boat today no matter what!"

Lin Yi saw that Lin Guanhai and Zhang Yulan both looked satisfied, so he didn't bargain with Qiu Haihua and nodded directly in agreement.

"Really? That's a real thank you!"

Qiu Haihua's eyes lit up, and then he spoke with joy on his face.

You know, this fishing boat is not expensive to maintain.

Even if you just park in this port, you have to pay a berthing fee every day, not to mention various expenses such as repairs, maintenance, insurance, annual inspections, etc.

After a year, all the various expenses, all added up, will cost at least 5 to [-] yuan.

Moreover, things like yachts, like cars, depreciate a lot every year.

Therefore, as long as the price is right, he certainly hopes to sell it as soon as possible.

After saying that, he took out the fishing boat transfer contract that had been prepared from the cabin and handed it to Lin Yi for inspection along with the three certificates.

Lin Yi carefully read the contract and the three certificates and found that there were no problems, so he signed the contract readily.

Then, according to the contract, he first transferred a deposit of RMB 50 to Qiu Haihua, and the remaining RMB [-] needed to be settled once all three certificates had been transferred.

After Qiu Haihua received the deposit, he immediately suggested that he go to the city to complete the transfer procedures before it was time to get off work, as if he wanted to get the full payment as soon as possible.

When Lin Yi saw this, he did not object directly. Instead, he turned to ask Lin Guanhai and Zhang Yulan for their opinions.

At this time, Lin Guanhai and Zhang Yulan also felt that it would be better to complete the transfer procedures as soon as possible.

So they immediately asked Lin Guanshui to go back with Qiu Qixia first, and then prepared to rush to the city with Qiu Haihua.
