A few days later, after Zhang Ze successfully obtained his business license, good news finally came from there. It seems that they have been paying attention to his situation.

According to the appointed time, Zhang Ze rode his bicycle to the fishery station.

When they arrived here, the three Tong Yuanhang brothers were already there.

Zhang Ze went up and touched his butt: "I've been having a good time lately, and I look like I've put on a lot of weight."

Tong Yuanhang was ready to shoot: "Where can I shoot? Is this a place you can shoot?"

The scout next to him emphasized: "Why, you can't touch the tigress' butt?"

"Screw you, brother, how can you help outsiders speak for you?" Tong Yuanhang didn't expect his brother to stab him in the back, so he immediately said angrily.

Unexpectedly, there were more than one backstabbers, and Tong Guoqi also joined in the fun: "Aze is not an outsider. Aze is my sister's husband and my good brother-in-law."

Zhang Ze raised his head proudly, making Tong Yuanhang laugh angrily. The stab in the back was so sudden that he was defenseless.

Several people were joking, and after a small meeting, Lu Xuanguo walked out of the building.

"Uncle Lu."

"Uncle Lu." x3

"Now that everyone is here, let's go!" The arranged car was already parked and waiting. Lu Xuanguo didn't waste any time. He asked a few people to get in the car and set off for the destination of buying the boat.

It was their first time to ride in a car. Several brothers from the Tong family were very curious about cars and kept touching here and there, so Zhang Ze was relatively calm.

Lu Xuanguo was a little surprised by his calmness, but he didn't think much about it and just thought he was relatively stable.

The car drove all the way out of Wenshui City and arrived at a town near Oujiang River. This is considered the earliest shipyard base in Wenshui City.

Lu Xuanguo has a comrade here who is the director of a factory. The boat he asked for help was a new iron fishing boat this year. After replacing the fishing boats for the state-owned fishery company, there were still some leftovers in the warehouse as spare boats.

Judging from the situation in previous years, there is a high probability that these fishing boats will be left in the warehouse to gather dust.

But this year's new policy allowed him to see some clues. Later, Lu Xuanguo came over to talk about buying a boat, which made his thoughts clearer.

Perhaps in the future, fishing boats will not only be provided to fishing companies.

But before the matter was clear, the factory director could not take the risk of making a mistake and sell the boat to them. Therefore, although he wanted to sell the boat, he has not agreed.

He didn't relax until the first business license was issued.

In fact, Zhang Ze did not expect that Lu Xuanguo could help ask for a new iron fishing boat. Originally, he just wanted to buy a second-hand small wooden hull boat to make a transition and wait two years before buying an iron boat. But it would be better to buy it now.

Soon the car drove into a shipyard, and the director of the shipyard personally came out to greet Lu Xuanguo. Judging from the close demeanor between the two, the relationship between these comrades was quite good.

The two chatted for a while, and then the factory director led the way and took them to see the ship in person.

Walking into the warehouse, a total of six iron fishing boats appeared in everyone's sight.

The outside of the fishing boat was painted blue, almost the same as the old-fashioned iron boats seen in later generations.

There are two styles in total, four of which are 15-meter ordinary fishing boats, priced at 3,000, and two of which are 26-meter trawlers, priced at 6,500.

This price is still the lowest price given by Lu Xuanguo for his sake, so there is no way to bargain.

Whether three thousand yuan or six thousand five thousand, it all gave Zhang Ze an inexplicably cheap feeling. Mainly because he had experienced later generations and often had a sense of the concept of money in later generations. However, this price was astronomical in the ears of the three brothers Tong Yuanhang.

After they renovated their house in Wenshui City, the remaining money together was only over 7,000 yuan. This was the 5,000 yuan that the three of them received from Lu Man, plus the nearly 2,000 yuan that they had received at the beginning of the year.

I continued to collect the money I saved from selling fish with Zhang Ze for months.

Zhang Ze can earn more than 200 yuan for a trip, and their combined trip is only a little over a hundred yuan. It's not much for the three of them to earn more.

It's definitely better than working in a factory, but it's far inferior to Zhang Ze.

After buying the $6,500 trawler, there wasn't much left, and an ordinary fishing boat for the three brothers was enough, so there was no need to buy a trawler.

Zhang Ze was also lucky in his heart. In the past two months at the beginning of the year, he had accumulated more than 3,200 yuan, which was just enough to buy a boat. It is estimated that there would be nothing left after buying the diesel fuel for going to sea.

Unfortunately, the current technology is insufficient. Even a 15-meter boat has a range of only about 80 nautical miles. Normally, it can only operate within a range of about 40 nautical miles offshore. The ship must also prepare spare diesel fuel just in case.

But it is enough for Zhang Ze. The farthest place he is currently considering is to go to Nanping Island or a small area of ​​Zhoushan Fishing Ground near the shore.

Fortunately, the boat has basic facilities and equipment, so he can fish, launch longlines, set hooks, and launch Korean nets or gillnets without any problem.

The two ships and their identities have been registered. The big ship needs to be registered now, and it will also be convenient for Zhang Ze and others to purchase diesel with the certificate in the future, and then the factory will arrange to launch it.

Zhang Ze and the three Tong brothers were all a little excited, and no one had considered whether they could sail a boat.

It was Lu Xuanguo who said next to him: "Can you guys know how to sail a boat?"

The excited expressions on the faces of the three Tong brothers suddenly froze. Although they were fishermen in the production team before, they used small wooden boats without propellers and relied on their hands wherever they went. When had they ever driven such a fishing boat?

Zhang Ze was also a little confused. He knew how to sail a boat, but he didn't know the difference between the operation of a boat built in the 1980s and that of later generations.

And even if he can drive it, he should treat it as if he can't drive it. Otherwise, how can we explain it?

The shipyard director seemed to have considered this issue a long time ago and said with a smile: "I have a master in the factory, and I will arrange for him to teach you how to sail."

"It's actually not difficult to sail a ship. The key thing you need to learn is how to repair some important equipment on the ship if it breaks down."

"Before you learn how to do it, I believe that Lao Lu won't let you go to the distant sea with confidence."

Lu Xuanguo nodded: "That's natural."

Not to mention anything else, the three Tong brothers are the sons of their comrades, and Zhang Ze is also his relative now. As an elder, of course he has to be responsible for them.

Hearing that the factory director would arrange for a master to teach them, Zhang Ze and others were relieved, otherwise they wouldn't know where to study.

Do you still have to recommend yourself to be an apprentice in a fishing company and learn from an ocean-going captain?

Whether others want it or not is a question!

After buying a fishing boat, Zhang Ze and others immediately learned how to sail the boat from the master who arranged for him to come over.

As soon as he got started, he knew that it was not much different from the fishing boats of later generations. Soon he was driving the boat and roaming on the sea. The old master even praised him as the fastest among all the people he taught.

Three hours later, the three Tong brothers had almost learned the lesson. Lu Xuanguo made an appointment with the shipyard director for a drink in the evening, so they didn't need to worry about him.

After receiving an extra fifty liters of diesel ticket from the captain, they each drove their own boats to the dock to rent a berth.

It is definitely too late today to know how to repair and check faults, etc. They need to take time to go to the shipyard to find the master and learn slowly.

After renting a berth and parking the boat, Zhang Ze invited Tong Yuanhang and the others: "Want to eat at my place tonight? I'll show you my skills and I'll make sure you eat everything you eat, even your tongues."

"A grown man like you, can you still do kitchen work?" Tong Junqiang expressed doubt.
