Qin Ming's comrade-in-arms Hu Jian happened to be there. When he learned that Qin Ming was coming, he hurried to the door to greet him.

"Qin Ming, I usually invite you to dinner, but you are never available. How come you are free today?" When Hu Jian saw Qin Ming, he punched him on the shoulder, and observed Liu Meilan and Tang Xiaoyu at the same time.

If Qin Ming only brings a young woman, she might be Qin Ming's girlfriend.

But if you bring two, that may not be the case.

Hu Jian is twenty-four this year, with a short flat head, a long face, and small but bright eyes.

He is 1.8 meters tall and has dark skin.

He is an average-looking guy, but he looks energetic and capable.

Qin Ming introduced, "This is Hu Jian, my comrade-in-arms, the deputy chief of the shipyard's sales department. This is my friend Liu Meilan, Tang Xiaoyu. Liu Meilan wants to buy a medium-sized fishing boat. Do you have any good recommendations?"

Hu Jian focused his attention on work and asked curiously, "Comrade Liu Meilan, where are your family members? After all, it's best to have your family come for such a big event as buying a fishing boat."

Liu Meilan has a young face, so others think she is a minor and don’t believe that she is a fisherman.

Tang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Chief Hu, Liu Meilan is a very experienced fisherman, and she is already eighteen years old and has the money to buy a fishing boat."

"Don't worry about her family. She can run her own home now. You just need to introduce us to a suitable fishing boat."

When Hu Jian heard this, he was slightly stunned and looked at Liu Meilan. She must be extraordinary to be able to afford a fishing boat.

Hu Jian looked at his comrade Qin Ming again.

Qin Ming nodded. "Yes, just introduce it. Tell us what are the precautions or conveniences. In short, the sooner Liu Meilan can buy a suitable fishing boat, the better."

Seeing Qin Ming say this, Hu Jian had no worries and said with a smile: "Then let's talk while walking! Our shipyard has a long history. We used to build warships for the army."

"After the military-civilian transformation, we built fishing boats specifically for our fishermen. We built medium and large fishing boats. Comrade Liu Meilan just said that she wanted a medium-sized fishing boat and wanted to get it as soon as possible. I have a good choice here."

Liu Meilan's eyes lit up. "Is there a ship here? Don't we need to book it?"

On Sanlian Island, if someone wants to buy a fishing boat, they have to make a reservation in advance and it will take at least a year and a half to get the fishing boat.

Hu Jian nodded. "We have a medium-sized fishing boat here, 18 meters long and 60 tons. It is 80% completed, but because the buyer's business failed, we need money to turn around, so we are going to sell it."

"As long as the transaction goes smoothly, we will complete the remaining works within two months and deliver the fishing boats before the end of the year."

Hearing this, Liu Meilan's eyes lit up. She had already prepared herself mentally that it would take at least a year to get the boat.

Now it only takes two months, so she is willing to do it even if the price is a bit higher.

"I'll buy it, I'll buy it!" Liu Meilan blinked her eyes. The sooner she could get a fishing boat, the sooner she could catch fish.

The small wooden boat is really too small.

It's all manpower-powered and can't go far.

Qin Ming reminded, "Hu Jian, the price is more affordable. I didn't introduce it in detail just now, but I heard from Fu Chen that Comrade Liu Meilan caught two advanced foreign reconnaissance devices while fishing before, and was commended by the division headquarters."

When Hu Jian heard this, he was in awe. He was also from the military and was in the same company as Fu Chen.

Even though he has been demobilized, Hu Jian still feels like a soldier and immediately saluted Liu Meilan, "Comrade Liu Meilan, thank you for your contribution to national defense."

He was also in contact with Fu Chen, so he naturally knew that Fu Chen had recently led his soldiers to make meritorious deeds again.

It turns out that the roots are here!

Liu Meilan was a little embarrassed by the salute, and quickly said modestly, "I am Chinese, this is what I should do! Let's talk about fishing boats now, shall we?"

Hu Jian nodded. "Okay, I'll take you to see the 80% completed fishing boat. As for the price, don't worry. I promise I won't let you buy it at a high price."

Liu Meilan waved her hand and said, "Chief Hu, you don't have to be too embarrassed. After all, we can get the boat in advance, and there are many people out there who want to buy it. Even if the other party raises the price, I am willing to do so. You must not break the rules just to help me. It's not worth it."

After hearing this, Hu Jian had a higher opinion of Liu Meilan. No wonder Qin Ming brought Liu Meilan here personally.

"I know what's going on. I'll try my best to help you." Hu Jian said with a smile, "There's a car over here. I'll drive you there."

The van drove for about fifteen minutes and finally arrived at the shipbuilding workshop.

Hu Jian put on helmets for everyone and pointed to the fishing boat being built over there. "This is the one. You can only look at it from the outside, but you can't go on it. However, there is a boat that has been built. I will take you there to have a look later."

"This fishing boat is 18.8 meters long and 60 tons in weight. It has good maneuverability and, most importantly, it uses new technology to better assist fishing."

Compared to smaller wooden boats, this fishing boat is really big.

Liu Meilan walked back and forth outside twice. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. "Chief Hu, how much does this ship cost?"

Hu Jian replied: "The original buyer ordered 13.2 yuan. If you want it, I estimate that you can get it for no more than 14 yuan."

"Also, this is the technology from the beginning of last year. Over the past year or so, newer technology has been developed. If you want, we can also install it for you. But this part will cost extra. I will introduce it to you after you have discussed it with the buyer."

Liu Meilan now has more than 300,000 yuan in her savings account, so there is no pressure for her to buy this fishing boat.

"Chief Hu, I think we can arrange an appointment with the buyer now. I want to finalize it as soon as possible."

Hu Jian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have someone call and ask Boss Chen to come over. Come on, I'll take you to the finished boat to have a look and feel it."

Five minutes later, we arrived at another workshop.

They put on shoe covers and got on the boat together.

There is a lot of space on the boat, including cabins and places to rest.

Finally, the fish hold is very large, with an ice room and live water tanks.

The space is large enough to hold a lot of catches.

This ship uses a trawling net.

When the time comes, we will go where there are fish.

Her special abilities can also be utilized to a greater extent.

Hu Jian asked the technician to explain it to Liu Meilan, and he went to the office to call Boss Chen.

Boss Chen was short of money recently and had to sell the property reluctantly, so many people paid a premium to buy it.

He was just about to sell it to a friend who offered 14.5 yuan when he received a call from Hu Jian.

Hu Jian also promised to sell the deal for 14 yuan. If Boss Chen wants to order a boat in the future, he can schedule it for him in advance, with a preferential price, and he will also help provide loan assistance.

Boss Chen still wants to continue working in this business. He is facing some difficulties now, but he wants to make a comeback once they are over.

So Boss Chen just thought about it for a moment and agreed.

Liu Meilan was overjoyed. She got a new ship that was about to be built for only eight thousand yuan more than the original price.

Without connections, you would never be able to get such a big bargain.

Liu Meilan found that she had more and more friends and her path became wider and wider.
