After she traveled through the book, she became rich in the 1980s

Jiang Xia asked curiously, "What's the big bargain?"

The guard said happily: "You will know in a moment. I will call the factory manager. Please wait!"

After the security guard made a phone call, he led them to the factory director's office.

The shipyard was large, covering a long and vast area, but the four of them reached the director's office in just a few minutes.

The factory director was a thin old man, not tall, about the same height as Jiang Xia, with very dark skin, the kind that comes from years of contact with engine oil and gasoline. He wore a white vest that had turned yellow from washing and was stained with a lot of stains similar to engine oil.

He was drinking water from an enamel mug in big gulps. His hands, which were holding the handle of the cup, were very rough, and the lines between his nails and on the back of his fingers were all black, the kind of black that had accumulated over the years and could not be washed off.

These are a pair of working people's hands, Jiang Xia thought.

"Director Zhou, these three comrades want to buy a boat."

Director Zhou looked back and was attracted by Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei at first sight, and then he noticed Zhou's father.

He saw that the couple were dressed neatly and cleanly, and had fair skin, especially the female comrade, whose skin was so white that it glowed, and it was obvious that she was a girl from a wealthy family.

The man had an upright posture, looked noble, had a strong aura, was righteous, and had sharp eyes, reminding him of the supreme commander on a warship.

Father Zhou had just specially put on the new clothes that Jiang Xia bought last time, a Zhongshan suit. He was tall and handsome, and although his skin was dark, he looked energetic.

Director Zhou: "Are you here to order a yacht?"

Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia: "..."

Does the factory manager think too highly of them?

How can they afford to book a yacht when their entire net worth is only 10,000 yuan?

Zhou's father was smiling, and everything looked like what he saw. It seemed that his son and daughter-in-law would have enough money to buy a yacht in the future!

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Zhou, for thinking that we are people who can afford a yacht. However, we really can't afford one. We are fishermen and we are here to order a fishing boat."

It was the first time that Director Zhou had misjudged the people. This young couple looked nothing like the fishermen he was used to seeing.

"How big a ship do you want to order? The factory has received export orders, and the earliest delivery of the ship ordered now will be the end of next year. However, we have a 24-meter ship here, and someone just returned it. It can be delivered in two months."

When Zhou's father heard this, he asked, "Why did you withdraw?"

"Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with the boat, and it is new, and it is almost finished. The man who originally ordered the boat came here this morning to ask if he could return the boat because his son lost all his family fortune in gambling and borrowed money from loan sharks. If you are suitable, you can take it over. The boat is very good and fully equipped. The most important thing is that the other party ordered the boat at a higher price three years ago, so it is cost-effective. It is also a coincidence that you are the first to come because he just left and I just released the news. Otherwise, I am afraid you would not be able to buy it."

Father Zhou asked again: "How much?"

"Eighteen thousand eight hundred."

Father Zhou: “…”

Zhou's father shut up. Even if his son had some savings, it probably wouldn't be as much as 18,000!

Zhou Chenglei: "What configuration? A trawler or a fishing boat?"

"It doubles as a fishing boat, and the engine is German..."

Then Zhou Chenglei asked Director Zhou in detail about the configuration of the boat, the brand of the engine, the horsepower, etc.

An expert can tell whether something is good or not with just one look. As soon as Director Zhou heard Zhou Chenglei, he knew he knew a lot about ships. The two of them talked in more and more details and became more and more professional.

Jiang Xia didn't understand a lot of what was said, but she listened carefully. After all, this was going to be a big money maker for the family in the future, so she had to understand it somehow and couldn't be clueless.

Although Zhou Chenglei was talking to Director Zhou, he would explain to her from time to time, and when she wanted to drink tea, he would even notice it at the first moment and hand her the tea first.

Jiang Xia smiled slightly, took the teacup, took a few sips, and was about to put it back when Zhou Chenglei took it over and put it back on the table.

There was a Diamond brand electric fan in the factory director's office with very strong wind. He sat in the wind outlet, and when the fan blew towards her, he helped her block the wind so that she would not be blown directly by the wind, but not be blocked by it.

Director Zhou felt like he was being fed a stomach full of dog food.

I can’t go on!

Zhou's father had long been accustomed to it. He had a hunch that the price of buying the boat this time would be much cheaper.

The love between husband and wife is as strong as their strength, and with his rank protecting him, it's perfect!

Director Zhou and Zhou Chenglei hit it off. It was rare for such a young man to understand ships. He said directly: "I designed this boat myself. Although it is not a very high configuration, it can be used for both near-shore operations and offshore fishing. It is just enough. A 24-meter large ship is just the right size for a distant-sea fishing boat. As an ocean-going fishing boat, this configuration is the most cost-effective."

This is the most affordable ocean-going ship ever designed by Director Zhou. It has everything and is affordable.

"I originally wanted to sell it to the other party for more than 18,800 yuan. You can see the receipt. Now if you take it, I will give you a discount of more than 300 yuan, 18,500 yuan. This boat is really good. You can't order it at this price now. The engine price has increased, and the price of everything has increased. If you want to order a boat this big now, you can't get it without more than 25,000 yuan. I guess someone will come to see the boat soon."

Father Zhou: "It's good, but it's too expensive!"

This is indeed a huge bargain, but I can’t swallow it!

Eighteen thousand five hundred! I dare not even think about it!

Even if the young couple has some money, it is impossible for them to have tens of thousands of yuan.

"Old comrade, this is a 24-meter big ship, not expensive! We ordered it three years ago, at the price three years ago! It's really a good deal, because the other party ordered it three years ago, when they ordered several ships at once, and then we also received foreign exchange orders, so this ship was made so late, and the price at that time was much cheaper than it is now."

Zhou Chenglei didn't say anything.

Jiang Xia asked Director Zhou: "How much is the deposit?"

Director Zhou: "It turns out that the ship owner paid 10,000 yuan. He is in a hurry to use the money and wants to get the deposit back."

At this time, the phone rang, and Director Zhou said, "You guys discuss it, I'll take the call."

Father Zhou: "Okay, let's go out and discuss it."

Zhou Chenglei, Jiang Xia and Zhou's father walked out, leaving the space for the factory director to answer the phone.

Father Zhou: "I have 1,000 yuan. How much do you have?"

Zhou Chenglei: “Seven thousand.”

Jiang Xia: "Ten thousand."

Father Zhou: “…”

So is it seven thousand or thirteen thousand?

Zhou Chenglei looked at Jiang Xia and said, "I can't touch your money."

Jiang Xia looked at him: "You lied to me?"

Zhou Chenglei was stunned, and subconsciously stood up straight: "Absolutely not!"

Why did he suddenly lie to her? Why did she feel that he lied to her?

Jiang Xia, who held the financial power, looked at someone with disdain and said, "You didn't lie to me. Where did you get the 7,000 yuan? You don't need my money to buy the boat. Is the one yuan in your pocket enough?"

Zhou Chenglei: “…”
