After being reborn as the Dragon King, I made a fortune on seafood

After Lu Ao took pictures of the fishing boat, he had to go through the transfer of ownership after paying off the money and taxes.

Because it is a foreclosed ship, it is somewhat inconvenient to go through the transfer procedures with the original owner.

Lu Ao specially brought Xiao Du with him.

Xiao Du didn't say a word, and asked for an afternoon off, and helped them run for a while.

Xiao Du is helping Lu Ao save a lot of energy and time. Just after shooting the boat in the morning, Lu Ao has already transferred the ownership in the afternoon.

From then on, the Qianming Yu [-] fishing boat was under his name, and he also owned a boat.

After finishing the household transfer, Lu Ao asked Xiaowen's father-in-law to meet at the pier.

Xiao Wen is the younger brother of the diver Lao Wen who helped Lu Ao check the boat last time.

Xiaowen's father-in-law opened Qinyin ship repair yard, which has a good reputation. Lu Ao's ship was going to be refurbished, so he chose this familiar ship repair yard.

Xiaowen's father-in-law is Yu Hongshen, he is not yet 50 years old, he is strong and looks very capable.

The two met at the pier. As soon as Yu Hongshen arrived, he enthusiastically reached out to shake hands with Lu Ao, "I've been waiting for a long time."

"Hello." After shaking hands with him, Lu Ao took him aboard, "I want to renovate the boat I photographed."

"I heard from my son-in-law." Yu Hongshen asked, "Which areas do you mainly want to renovate?"

Lu Ao stood on the deck and said: "I want to do a comprehensive refurbishment. The barnacles on the bottom of the ship, the rust on the ship, and the damaged places on the deck must be refurbished. The facilities inside must also be overhauled, or repaired and painted, or replaced. If it becomes a new one, it must be done again.”

"I see, the goal is to refurbish into a new ship, right?"

"Almost. The most important engine needs to be replaced. Now the total power of the engine on this ship is more than 280 horsepower. I want to replace it with a more powerful engine."

Yu Hongshen regained his energy when he heard that, "It's not cheap to change the engine, what horsepower do you want to change?"

"Five or six hundred."

Yu Hongshen said: "Your boat is only 77 tons, which is not too big among large fishing boats. More than 200 horsepower is a bit small. If you want to change it, it will be about four or five hundred. If it is higher, it will be too fuel-intensive."

"More than 500 is fine."

"Do you have an engine in mind?"

"Xinchai's and Huachai's are fine."

"These two engines are good, big brands." Yu Hongshen said: "If you specify these two brands, Xinchai Marine Engine 3427 marine diesel engine and Huachai Marine Engine 2422 marine diesel engine both meet your requirements, and the former is 520 Horsepower, the latter is 530 horsepower, both can be won for about 15."

Lu Ao asked, "Which brand do you recommend?"

"It's all good, the reputation is similar, it depends on personal preference." Yu Hongshen said: "But I am familiar with Xinchai's dealers. If you use Xinchai's engine, you can get it for about 14."

"Then use new diesel. What to do with the old engine?"

"Usually they sell second-hand engines. The market price of second-hand engines with more than 280 horsepower produced in one or three years is now [-] to [-]. You can find someone or a specialized recycling company to sell them. You can sell them to me. I'll take a look at the goods. Make another bid."

"No problem, when the time comes to disassemble it, you can see how much money you can pay, and let's talk about it."

"Okay." Yu Hongshen looked around at the ship and said, "I estimate that the total refurbishment will cost about [-] yuan. I'll ask the staff to come on the ship to have a look, and I'll give you a specific quotation later. You can take a look." no?"

"no problem."

Yu Hongshen called his staff.

After a while, several young people came, holding watches, and came to check Lu Ao's boat carefully and register.

There is no major problem with this ship, but it is rough and worn out, and the amount of renovation work is relatively large.

Lu Ao watched it with them all afternoon, and didn't finish it until after six o'clock.

Yu Hongshen is quite kind, and the quoted price is relatively fair. The refurbishment of the whole ship includes replacing it with a new 3427 marine diesel engine. The total cost is 18.

As for the replacement of the old engine, we will discuss it separately at that time.

Lu Ao carefully read the contract one by one, and after confirming that there was no problem, he signed it on the spot.

He paid a deposit of [-] yuan first, paid [-] yuan for the replacement of the engine, and paid the balance of [-] yuan after the whole ship was refurbished and accepted.

Lu Ao handed the key to Yu Hongshen.

Yu Hongshen said: "There will be a typhoon in the next two days, so I'll have someone drive the boat to my side right now."

There was nothing wrong with his boat. The people from Qinyin Shipyard directly drove the boat to the vicinity of the shipyard, and then drove it into the berth when the tide was high.

Lu Ao had no objection, the two parties agreed to deliver the goods within two months, and within these two months, the ship would be under the management of Hongshen.

Seeing Lu Ao's cheerfulness, Yu Hong felt even happier, and it happened that it was getting late, so he said he would invite Lu Ao to dinner.

Lu Ao didn't agree, and he even made an appointment with Xiao Du.

Yu Hongshen said, "I am also familiar with Officer Du. Since we have an appointment with him, let's go out for dinner together."

"Forget it, next time, I finally came to Qian Ming and wanted to have a chat with him. I'll treat you next time."

"Hahaha, that's okay, let's talk about it, let's have dinner together next time."

Both sides bid farewell.

Lu Ao took a taxi to the food stall near the Shipping and Maritime Public Security Bureau and asked Xiao Du to come out for dinner.

Little Dute waited for him with his stomach full. When he arrived at the big food stall, he saw that Lu Ao had ordered a table full of dishes. He couldn't help saying: "You really love this big food stall deeply."

"His food is delicious." Lu Ao filled him with sandworm soup, "Why do you have to work overtime every day?"

When Xiao Du mentioned this, he burst into tears, "Don't mention it, didn't you say that the typhoon is about to land, everyone must be on duty tonight to prevent accidents."

"There are still fishermen going out to sea when the typhoon blows?"

"Yes, fishermen go out to sea every year in big and small typhoons. The big typhoons above level [-] are better. Everyone knows the danger and don't go to sea very much. It's hard to say about small typhoons. Many fishermen think that the boat is too big to take it seriously. Fishermen feel that there are fewer people going out to sea during typhoons, and they can catch more fish by going out to sea during this time, so they will find opportunities to go out to sea when the typhoon is not strong."

Lu Ao thought for a while, and felt that this was indeed the case.

Xiao Du opened the chatterbox and vomited bitterness to Lu Ao.

He was admitted the year before last. He was young and single, and a lot of work was placed on his contemporaries. For night shifts like this, they must be given priority.

Lu Ao thought that civil servants were easy to mess with. Hearing this, he couldn't help showing sympathy, and picked a piece of pig's trotter for him with serving chopsticks.

Xiao Du hurriedly picked it up with a bowl, and sighed: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with working overtime, at least the overtime allowance is sufficient. If the weather is calm and the sea is calm, you can sleep in the duty room for one night, and it will be over soon. The most fearful thing is that some fishermen will not listen. What happened really happened, and we went to rescue people in wind and rain, and we felt uncomfortable when we saw it."

Lu Ao expressed his understanding.

After Xiao Du finished his dinner and supper, he continued to go on duty.

Lu Ao found a hotel to rest.

Song Zhou was still busy, he sent a message today, Song Zhou only reported that he was safe and said he would not be back until tomorrow.

Lu Ao didn't want to disturb him, and he didn't bother to go back overnight, so he might as well stay overnight.

After a day of running around, Lu Ao's sleep quality was not bad.

But in the middle of the night, he suddenly felt something and woke up.

He opened his eyes. The air conditioner in the hotel room was turned on at 24 degrees Celsius. This temperature was okay before going to bed, but now it was a little cold when he woke up.

It was very quiet at night, and the wind was blowing outside. I don't know if it was the confinement effect or something else.

Lu Ao turned off the air conditioner, got out of bed and opened the window.

As soon as the window was opened, the wind was blowing with moist water vapor, which was very cool.

Blown by the wind, Lu Ao's drowsiness was gone.

He turned on his phone and found that he had received several messages. The Provincial Emergency Management Department and the Provincial Meteorological Bureau issued a typhoon yellow warning, indicating that it was now affected by a tropical cyclone. Or gusts of magnitude [-] to [-] may continue. Citizens are advised to prepare for defense and remind ships and operators to return to Hong Kong in time to avoid the wind.

Lu Ao inexplicably remembered what Xiao Du said at night.

He was worried and sent Xiao Du a message to ask.

It took a while for Xiao Du to reply: I am busy, now a ship sank about 25 nautical miles northeast of Qianming Port, and [-] fishermen on board fell into the water

-so serious?

Xiao Du: Yes, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, the Governor, and the Deputy Governors have all given instructions. Now the Maritime Search and Rescue Center, the Emergency Management Office, and our Qianyong Maritime and Shipping Public Security Bureau are all organizing forces to save people. If we don't come back, we will definitely die, not to mention there are still a large number of reporters waiting for news outside

- you are at sea now

Xiao Du: Yes, we are rushing to the scene of the incident. The wind and waves are still relatively strong, and it is dark. It took more than an hour to search and rescue before we found the two people.I won't tell you anymore, I'm off to work

- well, be careful yourself

Xiao Du didn't return.

Lu Ao looked at the WeChat group again, and Xiang Xingchang and his volunteer group also forwarded the message.

Everyone is asking each other about the current situation.

Lu Ao flipped through the message records.

A group of friends reported in real time: It was too dark, and it was still windy. Our boats also searched around, but no one was found.

- Are there big waves over there?

- It's okay, about one or two meters, the big fishing boat we drive is relatively safe

- Now a parallel search has been carried out along the incident site, and the helicopter is also circling overhead, but no one has been found

- it's too difficult, the weather

- Yes, everyone is very anxious, afraid that the person who fell into the water will lose his strength after floating for a long time, and something will happen

-Hey, it's almost like finding a needle in a haystack now. How easy is it to save people in this kind of weather?

Lu Ao: I'm in Qianyong City, is there still a ship to go to search and rescue?add me

-Lu Ao, are you in the city?

- wait , our ship is leaving , where are you

Lu Ao: Near the Maritime Police Bureau, wait a minute, I will take a taxi to the pier

- It is difficult to get a taxi at this time, which hotel are you in, I will pick you up
