Chapter 040
The next morning, Bei Hai waited until after ten o'clock, and pressed the number given to him by Isda, and asked two ship owners to discuss the matter of seeing the ship and renting the ship.
"Is it Mr. Mel?" Bei Hai immediately opened his mouth and asked when he heard the phone call.
A heavy voice came from the other end of the phone, and his voice was a little hoarse and spoken, which made people not so pleasant: "I am, who are you?"
"I want to ask you, have your Corrugation Number been rented out?" After reporting his home, Bei Hai did not take any turns and directly explained his purpose.
When Mel heard that it was a boat rental, he asked without saying a word: "Are you the Asian who wants to catch tuna?"
Damn! I'm so famous now! When Mel asked this, Bei Hai couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yes, it's me!"
"Then how do you want to rent?" Mel said.
"Same as others!" Bei Hai first mentioned his conditions: "You see how much it is to divide it!" Not only from Digo and his son, but when he returned to the hotel, Bei Hai also asked the McCowan and his wife in the hotel, he had already known the most important things.
After hearing what Bei Hai said, Mel immediately denied the plan: "This is not possible! I'm not saying that there is something wrong with your fishing, but you have no results here, so it's not appropriate to do this method."
"Can I let me see the ship first and then talk in person?" Bei Hai said. There are some things on the phone that I can't explain clearly. I haven't seen the Corrugated, so I'd better see what the ship recommended by Isda first.
"No today." Mel paused for a moment, as if thinking for a few seconds: "You call me again tomorrow morning at about 11 o'clock!"
"Then let's say that." Bei Hai and Mel said a few words and hung up the phone.
After putting down the phone, Bei Hai was a little murmured in his heart. As Isda and Joe said, it was the beginning of the fishing season, and those who rented boats and watched the boats had almost finished talking about it, so why can't I see the boats today?
Bei Hai guessed it was really good. Mel was now next to his Poven and was talking to an old fisherman in his forties about the price of the boat charter.
Why turn down Bei Hai first? Because Mel is more optimistic about this person. The boat charterer is also a veteran tuna. However, he was a first mate in the past few years. This year, this is his second time alone. Last year's performance was quite good, which made Mel very jealous.
Mel was very satisfied with the good fish caught, because the price of bluefin tuna is getting higher and higher every year, so the profits are naturally getting higher and higher.
Now what we are talking about is the method of sharing the money. Mel means using the ship as an investment and then sharing the total profit. Mel wants to do this, but the person in front of him may not think so. This person means that you can share money, Mel must take out a certain amount of money.
In short, Bei Hai's phone number is equivalent to adding a small bargaining chip to Mel.
Bei Hai didn't know about this, so he called Mel and called Harrison and asked if his Whale number was rented out. Unfortunately, Bei Hai was a little too late. Yesterday, Harrison had signed a cooperation contract with a fishing season with one.
The Whale had no hope, and Bei Hai called out one by one according to the number he recorded. Unfortunately, his reputation was good. Almost all the owners who had boat rentals knew that their name was Hull, and they were Asian! However, when it comes to chartering the boat, they all said that they wanted Bei Hai to wait.
He put down the phone and sighed. Bei Hai looked at the sunlight outside the window for a while and decided to do something else first. After thinking about it, Bei Hai put on his clothes and left the door of the room.
"Hull! Are you going out?" Mary said hello when she saw Behai walk down the stairs.
"Are you ready to rent the boat?" Looking at Bei Hai, he nodded and asked kindly.
Bei Hai stopped and said what happened in the morning: "Anyway, I can't see the boat today!"
Mary didn't hide anything and said directly: "You can wait a few more days. Now everyone is picking and picking. After a few days, everything should be settled, and you will have at least two or three ships to pick."
Bei Hai knew that it was like Isda said now. He had no fame and made people unable to see the benefits of renting a boat to himself. Who wouldn’t want to take advantage of the fishing season to maximize his income? An unknown person like Bei Hai naturally wants to give way to the big names in the fishing world.
When it comes to buying a fishing boat, it is really not something that can be considered for Beihai now. A slightly decent fishing boat will cost more than 16 or 7 meters. Such a fishing boat costs at least 300,000 US dollars. What is the current Beihai that Beihai can think about?
"If it doesn't work, that's all!" Bei Hai smiled at Mary, and then wanted to recruit people after leaving: "By the way, Mary, I can't just have a boat, I also have to find people. If you know someone with good fishing skills, you can introduce it to me. Don't worry, the salary can be discussed."
After hearing this, Mary nodded at Bei Hai: "I can help you see if you have any special requirements for finding people, such as age, experience, etc. I also have a great understanding of the salary. How much do you plan to share 10% or 15% or in other ways?"
Bei Hai directly expressed his own price: "If it is calculated by the share, no one is willing to go out to sea with me. This way, you can say this to those who are interested. The share is 10%. If you don't want to share the share, you can calculate it based on the 15 to 180 US dollars a day. What do you think of the people's level?"
"Then I'll ask you a question for people I'm familiar with, but don't worry," said Mary.
"Thank you!" Bei Hai knew that the same old saying was to let himself wait for others to have a master's family, and no one was willing to hire another person, but it was his turn.
After talking to Mary for a few more words, Bei Hai then pushed open the door and walked towards the fishing gear shop on the street.
As soon as I entered the fishing gear store, the owner of the store, the old man who was in his fifties who was almost all-white, smiled at Bei Hai: "What can help you?"
Here is a fishing and furniture store. In fact, fishing items, including the things on the boat, are all available. Beihai glanced and saw several super large ship light bulbs and some small machines. Although Gloucester is not very big, there is more than one fishing gear store, and there is also a similar scale to this one, so it is quite competitive. Beihai came to this store but was closer.
"I want to see the spear gun," Bei Hai said to the boss.
"Okay Mr. Bei! By the way, you are surnamed Bei," the boss asked with a smile at Bei Hai.
"Yes, just call me Hull," Bei Hai said immediately.
"What price should I have?" The boss reached out and grabbed Bei Hai through the counter, said his name Vio, and asked Bei Hai what price he could accept.
Bei Hai thought for a while and said, "Let me see what's the ordinary first." Now Bei Hai wants to get a place to practice in his own space, so he is ready to use the small fish in his lake for experiments. Anyway, if they are stuck, they will be unlucky.
After hearing what Bei Hai said, Vio turned around and walked two steps to pick up a fishing gun from the shelf and handed it to Bei Hai: "Try this, carbon fiber, the overall weight is very suitable, and the matching is well made, even if the rope is cast at the rear, it is very stable!"
I tried it with a spear gun, and after trying it twice, I asked, "What is the price?"
"Four hundred dollars!" said Vio.
When Bei Hai heard that this thing costs 400 US dollars, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken. This broken thing is so expensive! Bei Hai thought it was only fifty or sixty dollars.
Bei Hai’s budget now doesn’t have that much money. He has not rented his own boat and has not hired people yet. He also has to prepare the fuel for the boat when he goes to sea. He has no idea about everything, so he should save some first.
"Are you more suitable?" Bei Hai returned the spear in his hand to Vio.
"There is another type of $340 per shot."
"Then I'll take a look!" When they heard that they were over 300, Bei Hai thought not to sell this thing. When he thought about it, he remembered that there was a horse spear in his space. This thing was really similar to a spear. It was just a little longer, and he could just use it for a while, and then tie a rope to the end of the spear!
