Chapter 50: Buying a Boat
If it weren't for someone above doing this, he, an ordinary little policeman, wouldn't dare to blatantly steer the plaintiff to collect such money. He took a step back and said that since this person has not done this for the first time, even if the person above has not done the same thing, he probably knows it. If he knows it, he says that this person has not paid tribute at all. Does anyone believe it?
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, those in judicial organs probably won’t believe it.
The director of the Winthrop Police Department and the deputy director were almost called overnight that night. After learning about this, they were almost crazy, especially the director of the police department. He was originally an inspector in Boston, but he was promoted to the director here because he was about to retire. He did not know the details here. He just wanted to retire safely and be over.
But unexpectedly, he caused such a big deal to him at the end. Not to mention retirement this time, he would have been rebelled for a few years before retirement. At this point, he couldn't help but curse in the police station.
As for the deputy director, he knew some of the situation. He had also collected money from this guy. It can be said that he was this guy's protective umbrella. But the problem is that this is the American imperial examination, not the country. As long as the other party is a rich man, if he is willing to poke it up, this matter will not be good. When he received the call, his face instantly turned blue.
Now he was not thinking about how to push this matter down, because he knew that he couldn't hold it back, and his only idea was to pick himself out.
The biggest difficulty in picking it out is undoubtedly Jiang Hai's side, so he is also considering whether he wants to talk to Jiang Hai.
Unfortunately, when he came to the door the next day, Jiang Hai was no longer at home. Don’t get me wrong. He didn’t go anywhere else, but went to buy a boat.
With the progress of the manor, the approximate direction of Jianghai Manor has been decided. At present, it is necessary to raise cattle, but the resources in the sea cannot be given up. These days, Edward braved the biting sea water and went to the sea to check it out. Just off the sea and sea level, the resources in the fishing ground are still very good.
At least within reach of sight, he saw a lot of fish, herds, herrings, parades back and forth in the middle and upper levels, and even some bonitos and other fish that migrate with the warm current, which surprised Edward.
Because generally speaking, at this time of year, these fish will live in the temperate ocean near the equator, but now these guys live here, which makes him puzzled. But apart from these fish, he will be unable to understand the situation at the bottom of the sea.
After all, he is not Jiang Hai. He can ignore the water pressure and breathe in the sea. He can dive as far as he wants.
He can't do it, so in order to judge the situation at the bottom, he has to build a boat.
However, this is Jiang Hai's fishing ground, so naturally he has to buy a boat. So while there is nothing important today, Edward called Jiang Hai and went to Boston together. Although there is a shipyard in Winthrop, it is not a good thing to go there now. After all, Jiang Hai is an unpopular person in the eyes of some people in Winthrop.
Secondly, there are basically some small boats here. If you want to customize large boats, the speed is not only slow but also the quality is average, so it is better to go to Boston. So after studying it, the two of them drove to Boston.
Boston is a not-famous harbor city, but after all, it is a harbor. If it is a harbor, there will always be a shipyard.
The most famous one here is the Charleston Naval Shipyard, but this shipyard has long been closed.
Now this is a museum of ships, but there are many shipyards near this shipyard.
This time, Jiang Hai and Edward’s target are these shipyards.
After driving, the two entered the port area of Boston. Far away, Jiang Hai saw a huge destroyer parked on the sea level. It was the Charleston Naval Shipyard. It is one of the museums on the surface. It is an old destroyer. This ship is open to the public for free and is a place to cultivate the patriotic sentiment of the American children.
However, although Jiang Hai is quite interested in this place, it does not mean that he is going to see it now. He will go and see it again when loading the ship later. Then he followed Edward to a shipyard called Ocean Temple.
According to Edward's introduction, this shipyard is also a time-honored brand in the Boston area. According to legend, this shipyard was born during World War I. It is specially designed to take orders sold by the government to European ships and conduct splicing business, and its skills are still very solid.
During World War II, it was also a very good existence and played an indelible role in supporting the European battlefield.
Now, although we have entered an era of peace, all the military industries of the United States have basically been closed.
In addition to some extremely large weapons companies, even the government's shipyards have been closed, let alone them?
Now they only have the resources to sell fishing boats, but the ships are not cheap. Although they won’t open for three years and eat for three years, one order is enough for them to drink for three or five months, so the business of this shipyard is pretty good.
When Jiang Hai and Edward parked their car in front of the door, they just saw a big ship on the other side of the dock. They had just finished the watering attempt. Looking at the big ship with silver-white light, Jiang Hai couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that he would have such a big fishing boat in the near future. Just as he was jealous of him there, a group of people came out of the shipyard.
The leader is a white man who looks about sixty years old, about 1.9 meters tall, with a lot of fat on his face, a gray beard, and a huge beer belly, but his body is still very strong, wearing a yellow safety helmet.
When I saw Edward, I was obviously stunned for a moment, and then walked over with a smile on my face.
"Hi, old guy, why are you thinking about it?" Looking at Edward in front of him, he fisted with Edward and asked with a smile on his face. Hearing his words, Edward also started to say.
"This is Dalton Green, the owner of this Ocean Temple and my friend, Dalton, this is my boss. He bought the Green Forest and wanted to develop the fishing ground there, so we come and buy some boats first."
"Oh, Green Forest, I know there. More than ten years ago, I sold the boats to them, but it wasn't long before that poor guy fell down under the subprime mortgage crisis. But it was really a big place. Unexpectedly, I could see someone buying it in my lifetime. Young man, your courage is really good." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, the uncle here said in surprise. He knew the market value of that place. His shipyard was probably not even a fraction of the big manor. I didn't see that this young man was actually a rich man who had been declining for a year.
"Hehe, be polite." Jiang Hai shook hands with the uncle, and said with a chuckling.
"Then let's go now, I'll accompany you to see what you need." After patting Jiang Hai's shoulder, Dalton Green said with a smile, then led Jiang Hai and Edward into the huge shipyard behind him.
As soon as I walked into the shipyard, a strong smell of motor oil floated into Jiang Hai's nose.
If ordinary people smell this smell, it will probably be uncomfortable for a long time, but Jiang Hai and Edward are fine. Edward is used to running on a boat. The smell of motor oil is the same as the smell of the grass in front of him, and there is nothing wrong with it.
As for Jiang Hai, he just came out of China and was not afraid of the air in China, but he was still afraid of these things? He was thinking too much!
"Our company was originally specialized in manufacturing warships, but now it is only qualified to build fishing boats, but you can rest assured that the fishing boats here also have the strength of warships. It can be said that they are equipped with cannons, which is a warship. Haha, just kidding, what kind of ship do you need?" Dalton joked while joking. When he heard his words, Jiang Hai was also looking at the ship here, but he didn't know what he wanted.
"We need to order four boats, three small boats, and one offshore trawler." Seeing Jiang Hai's gaze, Edward here said directly. The fishing boats and small boats have their own specialties.
Taking fishing boats as an example, fishing boats are divided into marine fishing boats and freshwater fishing boats. Marine fishing boats are divided into three types: coastal, offshore and far-sea.
The materials are also different, such as wood, steel, fiberglass, aluminum alloy, etc.
The propulsion methods are also mobile, sailing, and manual, which can be said to be different.
The offshore fishing boat that Jiang Hai needs now is an absolute big guy for ordinary small boats.
When he heard that Jiang Hai was going to be a fishing boat near the sea, Dalton Green nodded gently and led them to a room next to him. There was a lot of information in the room recording the situation of all the fishing boats.
Jiang Hai and the others need to choose a good model here. Of course, if there is anything that needs to be modified, you have to explain it in advance.
"That's fine." After watching for about half an hour, Edward and Jiang Hai discussed it. In fact, it was just Jiang Hai who listened to it. What Edward is now mainly an attitude, a kind of attitude that only Jiang Hai follows. Jiang Hai doesn't understand what he chooses, but in his opinion, the fishing boat chosen by Edward is really good.
"Oh, it's it. This boat is pretty good. The standard is made of hull material made of wire mesh cement. The total length is fifty-five meters. It is considered a big guy in an offshore fishing boat. It is equipped with three engines..." Seeing what Jiang Hai and Edward chose, Dalton here couldn't help but start talking, but except for what he said at the beginning, Jiang Hai was one head and three big, and he couldn't understand at all.
