Seeing the fishing boat, Wang Peng rubbed his temples.

"What we want is a production fishing boat, not a yacht."

Wang Peng knows this boat.

This fishing boat seems to have been delivered in March last year and listed on the second-hand market in June. How can I put it, this boat is a toy bought by rich people, not a production fishing boat.

This longline fishing boat is very famous in the circle, almost as famous as the Yuanxing 55.

"This boat is cheap. After buying it, you can modify it and use it as a production fishing boat." Wang Yu said.

"Last year, I heard that the asking price of this boat was still 23.5 million yuan?" Wang Peng said.

"It's cheaper now, only 15 million."

Wang Peng rolled his eyes: "15 million is still cheap?"

Wang Yu smiled.

The team of Lin Xinhai, Luo Laosi, and Chen Yuan is now very famous in the local area.

Last year's net of tuna was worth more than a thousand dollars. And the yacht they used to find fish was worth fifteen million.

This boat costs 15 million. Is it very expensive?

But they have the financial strength to afford the ship.

The positioning of this boat is a bit awkward. It is said to be a yacht, but it is not. It is said to be a production fishing boat, but the equipment is incomplete and the price is too high.

Wang Yu fixed the speedboat and took Chen Yuan and the others onto the fishing boat.

On a longline fishing boat, both sides of the deck are concave (the side doors of the fishing port), and the height from the waterline to the guardrail is about 1.67 meters. There is a rope ladder here, and a group of people can easily climb up.

This is a professional pelagic tuna longline fishing boat. The ship is characterized by a single deck, long stern, forecastle and double bottom layout.

The main feature of this boat type is that it has a side door for collecting fish.

"How long is this boat?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Basic parameters..." Wang Peng gave each of Chen Yuan and the others a piece of information, which contained the parameters of the fishing boat.

Total length, 37.6 meters.

Width, 7.3 meters.

Molded depth, 3.95 meters.

Draft, 2.99 meters.

Gross tonnage, 425t.

Fish hold, 218 cubic meters.

Fuel tank, 139+23 cubic meters.

Host power, 1100HP.

Design speed, 11 knots.

Unlimited navigation area.

The hull is thick and can withstand larger winds and waves. After all, it has an unlimited navigation area...

The appearance of the boat is that of a professional tuna longline fishing boat, but the deck is empty and there is no rope-laying machine, no rope-raising machine, and no rope-raising machine.

Wang Yu took them to see the cockpit first. The driving configuration is luxurious, and the integrated integrated console is simple and elegant. There is also an integrated multi-functional radar, including weather, ocean, fish detection and other functions.

This thing has high configuration. After Chen Yuan wrote down the model number of the fish detector, he went out and called Luo Hao.

Luo Hao, commander-in-chief of the fleet of Dongjiang Fishery Company.

The relationship between Chen Yuan and Luo Hao is quite good, of course, but not as good as the relationship with Lin Xinhai.

"Hello, I'm Luo Hao's friend... I'm sorry to bother you."

After waiting for a while, Luo Hao picked up the phone: "Who are you?"

"I, Chen Yuan..."

"You haven't called me for a long time. Do you have anything to do with me?" Luo Hao said with a smile.

"Let me consult..."

Chen Yuan asked about the price of this signal fish detector, and Luo Hao said that this model of fish detector costs more than one million.

This boat is luxuriously equipped with restaurants, bedrooms, etc., and it has a high-end feel everywhere.

"It would be great to drive this boat out for fishing." Zhou Sheng whispered in Chen Yuan's ear.

Chen Yuan said 'hmm': "The price is too high, 15 million. The subsequent renovation will be conservatively estimated to be several million."

"This ship doesn't have a freezing cabin?" Lin Xinhai asked.

"Yes, but the equipment is not installed." Wang Yu said: "It doesn't cost much to install a set of equipment yourself."

There are differences between offshore fishing boats and offshore fishing boats.

Although Lin Xinhai's offshore fishing boats are equipped with ultra-low temperatures, that equipment is very expensive.

If it is an offshore fishing vessel, the process after the fish comes up is to process it first and then freeze it, that is, ultra-low temperature and rapid freezing, and then send it to the refrigerated cabin or ultra-low temperature cabin.

This fishing boat has a refrigerated cabin and is equipped with an ice room and an ice machine that can produce about 1,500 kilograms of ice every day.

"How is it?" Wang Yu said after reading.

"15 million is too expensive." Chen Yuan shook his head: "Let's take a look at the seine boat again."

This boat still needs to be renovated and upgraded, and the cost of all this will cost several million. For a longline fishing boat, this price is too expensive.

There are also two seine boats in Donggang, a light seine boat and a tuna seine boat.

The light seine is 49 meters long. This boat is more than ten years old, but overall it is not bad. It is a fishing boat that can be used after buying it. However, if it needs to be converted into a tuna seine boat, the amount of work will be too large.

As for the other tuna seine boat, this boat is too small, only a little over 39 meters.

In the end, there was only the 53-meter tuna seine boat on Shangzhou Island.

Taking a speedboat, we arrived at the fishing bay of Shangzhou Island. A large boat, standing out like a flock of chickens, was moored quietly on the sea.

Wang Yu contacted people from the shipping company and got on the ship together.

Chen Yuan and the others each took a copy of the fishing boat information. The tuna seine boat was built in 2011 and is considered a new boat. Even the paint looks a bit worn and the facilities inside the boat are not well maintained. It looks very shabby.

The asking price for a 53-meter seine boat is 46.5 million, including a 10-year Indian Ocean fishing license.

Back on Hailing Island, the group met at the restaurant.

"Why is a 53-meter seine boat so expensive?" Luo Laosi asked.

"The boat is worth about 30 million. But the fishing boat license is valuable."

The bigger the boat, the more expensive the fishing license is. Moreover, the boat was only built in 11 years, so it is still a new boat, but it looks a bit worn out.

This boat is very good, it can be said to be a modern tuna seine boat, with complete equipment.

There are freezing rooms, processing workshops, four ultra-low temperature chambers, two refrigeration chambers, ice making rooms...

The ship has high horsepower and a maximum speed of 23 knots.

No matter what kind of fishing boat, the most expensive thing is the configuration. The higher the configuration, the higher the price.

"What should I say?" Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan, then at Lin Xinhai and Luo Laosi.

Chen Yuan spread his hands and said: "To be honest, the 53-meter tuna seine boat is pretty good. Take it back and repaint it, and tidy up the interior to make it a new boat."

"There are also a lot of tuna in the Indian Ocean," Zhou Sheng said.

"The sea conditions in the Indian Ocean are bad. It is better to go to the Indian Ocean in the North Pacific or the South Pacific." Chen Yuandao: "A 53-meter boat is too expensive."

If they can buy this boat, Chen Yuan and the others don't need to be affiliated with Dongjiang Fishery and can apply for a brand on their own.

“How much is a 10-year fishing license in India worth?”

"Given the size of the boat, if I applied for it myself, it would cost more than 10 million," Chen Yuan said.

"What about resale?"

"It's hard to say. I estimate that it should sell for several million." Chen Yuan took a breath and said.

“Are there many fish in the Indian Ocean?”

"I heard it's not bad. We often encounter hundreds of tons of tuna on the net. But we're not familiar with the sea conditions there, so it's best not to go there." Chen Yuandao said: "Fishing in waters you are familiar with."

"Last year's payment has been returned. Let's go to the bank first." Lin Xinhai looked at Luo Laosi: "Wait for us and we will discuss it when we get back."

"Hurry up."

"Soon." The restaurant was not far from the bank. On the way, Lin Xinhai looked at Chen Yuan: "You still have 2.839 million yuan, and Zhou Sheng still has 1.4195 million yuan."

"The money for last year's fishing boat has to be settled with the master." Chen Yuan looked at Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng nodded.

Chen Yuan first calculated the cost of Yuanxing 55 with Zhou Sheng.
