my golden fishing village

Chapter 67 The Confused Ship Boss
After agreeing to go to sea, the Fan family and his son left here excitedly.

"Xiao Fan," Chen Yongshan was a little worried, and said, "Are you sure, after the canteen opens, the business will be good?"

"Yes, Xiaofan, it's not that our village has never opened before, and it didn't last in the end. There are still a little few people here."

Li Qiuju was also worried.

"Don't worry, Dad, Mom."

Chen Fan smiled and said: "Zhuzi and the others have earned a lot of money, so they must spend some money, such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, cigarettes and liquor."

"Too."

Chen Yongshan nodded, but the worries in his heart have not been completely eliminated.

After all, relying on the pillars and a dozen of them, can they support a canteen?
However, he still believed in his son.

After all, he has seen all the changes during this period, earning more than 20 yuan a day. In the past, he would not have believed it even to death.

How could Chen Fan not understand?
Qingshui Village will definitely get better and better, and time will prove it all.

Silent all night.

……

The next morning.

After Chen Fan had breakfast, he sat next to the computer and opened the webpage to browse the news of second-hand fishing boats.

As a native seaside fisherman, Chen Fan also has some knowledge about fishing boats.

Fishing boats are collectively referred to as ships that catch, process, and transport fish, and can carry out aquatic product processing, transport, breeding, resource surveys, fishery guidance and training, and fishery administration tasks, etc.

Fishing boats are classified in different ways.

According to the operating waters, it is divided into marine fishing boats and freshwater fishing boats, and marine fishing boats are divided into coastal, offshore and ocean fishing boats.

According to the hull material, it can be divided into wooden, steel, fiberglass, aluminum alloy, steel mesh cement fishing boats and various mixed structure fishing boats.

According to the propulsion mode, it can be divided into motorized, sail and manual fishing boats.

According to the tasks undertaken by fishing vessels, they can be divided into two categories: fishing vessels and fishing auxiliary vessels.

The small fishing boats in Qingshui Village are all offshore fishing boats. In fact, not only Qingshui Village, but most of the domestic fishing boats operate in offshore waters. The limitation of technology is one of the important reasons.

At present, our country is engaged in the design and construction of distant-water fishing vessels. The number of construction units is limited. There are few independently designed and built distant-water fishing vessels, insufficient technical reserves, and the overall construction level is backward. Therefore, the produced distant-water fishing vessels are slow, consume high energy, and have the same fuel cost as those in advanced countries. The power of offshore fishing boats is about 15% higher.

In contrast, in order to rationally utilize offshore fishery resources, developed countries have established a scientific fishery management system, attach great importance to the selective research of fishing gear, and send fishery survey ships to investigate new fisheries and resources in various sea areas around the world every year. Provide new operational fishing grounds for the nation's marine fishing fleet.

In order to innovate the existing fishing gear and fishing methods, those countries with developed marine fishing industries have conducted a large number of basic research on various fishing gear and fishing methods, making their structures more reasonable and increasing net production. Ocean-going vessels are equipped with satellite navigation , fish detection system, they can detect and track fish schools from the sky, seabed, and coastal areas, and can know the movements of fish schools at any time, ensuring the fishing success rate of fishing boats.

For example, the flagship seiner of the Spanish tuna fleet is the largest tuna seiner in the world.The ship is 105 meters long, more than 10 meters wide, with a gross tonnage of 2640 tons, a fresh fish refrigeration capacity of 3000 tons, and a quick-freezing capacity of 2350 cubic meters.

Its refrigeration equipment includes 6 sets of 73.5K compressors and 26 cold seawater storage rooms, which can quickly freeze 140 tons per day.This machine not only has advanced main engines, high speed, and advanced auxiliary equipment, but also has advanced winches, net hoists, power blocks, and cranes.

In addition, the cab is equipped with 3 radars, satellite navigator, rotary compass, automatic navigation and speed meter, as well as SSB and VHF communication equipment.There is also a Hughes 500E helicopter on board to scout fish schools, with a maximum flight altitude of 2900 meters and a speed of 150 kilometers per hour.

A large ocean-going trawler of several thousand tons like this is worth more than a 10-ton Capesize bulk carrier.

But Chen Fan definitely can't buy it. It's hard to find it in China, and abroad, people are even less willing to sell it to you.

As for satellite navigation and fish detection systems, it would be better to have them, but it doesn't matter if they don't have them, because Chen Fan has Lanlan, and this little guy is like a humanoid radar.

On the forum, there are many posts about buying and selling ships, compared with more posts about selling ships.

Most of them are fishing boats of about ten to 20 meters long, and the price is about 40 to [-].

A 20-meter fishing boat is actually not too small, but Chen Fan has a sufficient budget and sets his sights on fishing boats that are 40 to [-] meters long.

As mentioned above, according to the hull material.Fishing boats are divided into wooden, steel, fiberglass, aluminum alloy, steel mesh cement fishing boats, and various mixed structure fishing boats. Wooden boats are the cheapest, while steel fishing boats are more expensive. As for fiberglass, aluminum alloy, etc., Chen Fan I searched many posts but couldn't find anything for sale.

Thinking about it, Chen Fan would be reluctant to sell it.

Selecting a few ships that were more suitable for him, Chen Fan recorded the mobile phone numbers and dialed them one by one.

……

Haiwei Harbor is more than 100 kilometers away from Qingshui Village.

Miao Hongcai stood on the pier, looking at the three to forty-meter-long steel fishing boat not far away, his eyes full of worry.

"Captain, are you really going to sell the Changsheng?"

A middle-aged man next to him said reluctantly: "How to put it, Changsheng was bought by you by splitting a penny in half and saving money. It has been with us for three or four years. I still remember when I first bought it. , we were so excited that we didn't close our eyes for three days and three nights."

"Old Zhang, I don't want to either."

Miao Hongcai sighed with moist eyes, and said, "I can't afford to keep this oily tiger."

It cost more than 120 million yuan to buy this steel fishing boat. In addition to this money, the daily maintenance and wear and tear of the fishing boat is also a considerable expenditure.

"Now, even though the price of the catch is high, the price is not small," Miao Hongcai said slowly, "The salary is not tens of thousands, and it is basically impossible to hire people to go to sea. Four or five guys, that is five to sixty thousand , It needs to be repaired twice a year, and each time it costs less than [-] yuan, two or three thousand for one network, and tens of thousands for four or five, that’s all, and the most expensive thing is to count the gas money.”

"One trip to the open sea consumes one or two tons of diesel oil a day, which costs 7000 yuan a day."

Lao Zhang also sighed after hearing this. The daily maintenance of the fishing boat, crew expenses, and fuel consumption are actually all acceptable. After all, investment will bring rewards.

But what if the return is very low?

As the master craftsman on board, he couldn't be more aware of the changes in recent years.

In the past, if you went out to sea, you didn’t need to go far at all. You can bring up a lot of fish with one net cast down. Usually, the fishing boat is full at nine o’clock in the morning.

But now?

The resources in the offshore area are getting less and less, so they have to go to farther places to fish. It takes three to four hours to drive from the pier to the fishing place. The time to pull the net is longer, but the fish pulled up are less .
