Lao Zheng has opened a fishing gear shop on this island for more than 30 years. Half of the fishermen on the island have taken the fishing gear from him.

With small profits and quick turnover, he also accumulated a lot of wealth. In his early years, he bought a house in Licheng District and made a lot of money. Logically speaking, his family is at least considered a middle class.

However, I have been very worried recently because the ocean fishing boat they bought by their son has not left the port for a long time.

As long as you don’t leave the port for a day, you will lose money. But if you go fishing in the sea, you will only lose even more if you can’t catch fish.

In fact, many large fishing boats are afraid to go to sea casually and are parked in the port. Their ocean fishing boat was bought in 2012, including applying for a certificate. It cost a total of 7 million yuan to buy it with a loan.

At that time, the price could be bought in Licheng for ten houses worth more than 100 square meters, but now it has become a pile of scrap iron, so it is not as good as selling. If you don’t sell it, there will be maintenance fees every month.

I still owe more than 2 million yuan to the bank, and the monthly interest rate is 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. The money earned by this fishing gear store is almost no longer able to pay back the loan.

In fact, at the beginning, ocean-going fishing boats were still very profitable. Not only did they produce high, ZF also gave high fuel subsidies.

It's just making money.

It really should be as early as possible. Their family is late. Once someone tastes the sweetness, countless people who follow the trend will squeeze in when they hear that they have money to make money.

The culprit is still the media, who have nothing to do and just make a blind publicity. The ocean-going fishing boats earn millions in one boat.

In those years, the shipyards kept building ships every day, and the orders were always full. A boat had to be booked for more than half a year, which was exaggerated to wait for two or three years.

Almost all the world-famous fishing grounds have red flags, and there are some unruly second-hand goods. If you don’t have the qualifications, you will make trouble everywhere.

Stealing fish on someone else's territory and being caught by someone, it seems that it is a very aggrieved.

The consequences of unruly fishing boats in China are like rats crossing the sea, and everyone is calling for them, and many places have begun to restrict the entry of domestic fishing boats.

There are also many ocean-going fishing boats purchased by fishermen on the island. Generally, the cheapest ones cost 5 million. The fishermen didn't catch much, but they owe a lot of debts. As the boat drove, it turned into a deadbeat, and the family members were in trouble.

I heard that people were forced to jump into the sea.

Their family is quite good. They barely support it by relying on the fishing gear shop. It is just that the fishing boats are placed there, and they don’t need money and need maintenance.

I don’t dare to drive it out. I just want to drive it out in a big boat like that, but I also have a crew fee.

Now it is becoming increasingly difficult to hire crew members. In the past, people rushed to board the ship for 7,000 or 8,000 a month, but now there are not necessarily people who come to tens of thousands.

Even if someone comes and gets on the boat, he has to sign a contract first, not only to buy insurance for them, but also to pay medical insurance and social security, etc.

Once this kind of fishing boat is out and no fish is caught, the loss of money is also terrifying. If you venture into a territorial sea to steal fish, the boat will be detained by other countries, not only will it lose all your money, but it will also be fined.

In short, this is the environment. There are fewer fish in the sea, and no one catches fish, and other countries are guarding against them to steal fish.

The four major fishing grounds in China have long been in name only, that is, after the end of the fishing ban period, there were fish to catch during that period, and there were no fish during other periods.

Some time ago, the leader of the Fisheries Bureau came to talk to him, hoping that they could change their industries, but his son did not agree.

But there is really no way. If the monthly loan interest rate is so high and you can't catch fish, life will be harder and harder.

In addition, my granddaughter will be in junior high school in two years, and the problem of school district housing has not been solved yet. Even if this boat doesn't take action, it will take action.

If Lu Paotou's son was willing to buy it, he might be able to sell it for a good price. Lao Zheng used a trailer to pull out a bundle of very large longline hooks.

This longline hook.

In fact, it consists of four parts, namely the main line, the float, the secondary line and the fish hook.

"This line has five kilometers, the main line is five millimeters, the tension value is 150 kg, the secondary line is 3 millimeters, and the tension value is 80 kg."

In fact, if you want to buy such a large longline hook, you can't buy it in Licheng. Even Taobao is difficult to buy it. This kind of fishing line is generally imported.

The bundle he had on hand was used by his son before, mainly used to catch sea fish such as yellowfin tuna, bonito, and GT.

Now that you don’t go out to sea, you can just take it out and sell it. Lao Zheng continued to introduce: "As long as you are not fishing for Atlantic bluefin tuna, everything else should not be a problem."

“How much does this cost?”

"For the sake of old customers, even if I want you to be cheaper, I will only be 10,000 yuan. The purchase price of this one is almost 10,000 yuan."

"Thank you, boss."

When Lao Zheng said this, he suddenly asked: "You bought this longline hook. Do you have a boat now?"

"Yes." Lu Haihui returned.

Lao Zheng frowned. He knew very well how many ocean-going fishing boats were parked on the pier on the island, and only their homes had longline fishing fishing boats.

"What kind of ship you have?" Lao Zheng asked.

"The fiberglass tug I bought from Lao Jin."

Lao Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "That kind of boat has no fishing line warehouse, how can you collect and place such long rope hooks?"

Lu Hai naturally knew that if you put such large longline hooks, you would usually have special longline fishing boats, but there were many primitive people there.

Even if the boat is not needed.

You can still pull the fish up.

A lot of people means a lot of power.

"If you don't have a boat and want to fish in the ocean, my ocean longline fishing boat can be sold to you at a cheap price. What do you think?"

Lu Hai was stunned and thought. No wonder Lao Zheng became excited and enthusiastic when he said he wanted to buy the largest longline hook just now.

I originally planned to sell fishing boats to myself.

Lu Hai is indeed a little moved, but his exploration space is even tens of thousands of acres, but he is still small, and even if he buys an ocean-going fishing boat, it is useless.

The ship was probably just warming up and was about to hit the air wall. And the exploration space was not as big as that big dock for it to dock.

Seeing Lu Hai hesitating, Lao Zheng quickly said, "My ship was bought in 12 years, 30 meters, and a lot of equipment on the ship is imported..."

Lao Zheng kept introducing that because of the many sales promotions, those foreign brands almost came out of their mouths.

"My ship's main generator is Cummins, the secondary generator set is Steyer's diesel engine, and the marathon generator uses a single-filament single-roller hydraulic fishing machine system. The fresh storage bin has 50 square meters and the quick-freezing storage bin has 20 square meters."

I heard Lao Zheng talk a lot, but Lu Hai really couldn't understand it. He only knew that longline fishing boats were very expensive, and one or two people could not operate, so there must be at least five people.

Lu Hai was too lazy to go around the circle and asked directly: "How much does it cost?"

"The price is 4.5 million yuan in one place, with seven years of tuna fishing rights in the Indian Ocean."

After hearing this price.

Lu Hai was a little surprised because the price was really beautiful. Fishing boats like this, second-hand ones, even the cheapest ones, will start at 5 million.

"Old Zheng, you sell me so cheaply, there will be no problem with the ship, right?" Lu Hai said directly.

Lao Zheng was stunned.

I found that my offer was indeed low. Because I was determined to sell the boat, I directly told the bottom price. It was so cheap that others would certainly think there was something wrong.

Lao Zheng sighed.

In fact, he really wanted to fool Lu Hai, but his longline fishing boat, but he didn't want to sell the boat against his conscience.

After all, this is Lu Paotou's son. Lu Paotou is famous for being stingy on the island. If he knew about it, he would instigate his son to buy his own ship.

I guess I will really come to settle the score.

That would be a little bit unworthy of the loss.

Lao Zheng told the truth: "There is a reason why my boat is so cheap. The ocean fishing industry is really not very good now. Even if there are ships and people, they are not lucky, and they will not make money."

"I know this."

Lu Hai didn't expect Lao Zheng to be so honest. The ocean fishing industry has been bad in the past two years. Almost all zombie ships at the wharf are ocean fishing boats.

Lu Hai thought for a while: "I'll buy these first today. After a while, if your ship has not been sold, I can consider buying it."

"That's OK."

"How much does the ones I bought just now cost in total?"

"Ten thousand three thousand four hundred and five, even if you are ten thousand three thousand four."

"Thank you, is Alipay OK?"

"OK."
