Houzhu Port, formerly known as "Zitong Port", is also known as "Quanzhou Port".

In the Song Dynasty, Quanzhou Port was known as one of the four major ports in China, along with Jiaozhou, Yangzhou and Guangzhou.

In the Yuan Dynasty, it was known as one of the two major ports in the world, along with the Port of Alexandria in Egypt.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road.

The reason why I say this is not just for the sake of word count, but also to tell everyone that our country also has a long history of marine culture.

And Houzhu Port is one of the most representative witnesses of my country's marine culture.

Even after the Duck-Pan War, Fuzhou and Xiamen were successively opened as ports, and Houzhu Port became a general local port, but it still continued to play its role as the only military port.

For example, the Fisheries Administration, most of their law enforcement ships and detained illegal ships are moored in Houzhu Port, and the Fisheries Administration also has a dispatch station in the port.

The place where Chu Yang parked was the parking lot in front of the station.

"Hello, Mr. Chu."

As soon as he got off the car, he heard a man in his early thirties calling him. He was Fang Jianzhong's driver, surnamed Liu.

"Brother Liu."

Chu Yang smiled and passed over a cigarette, "Is Director Fang in there?"

"Yes, I'll take you there."

There were only three rooms inside the station.

The driver, Xiao Liu, took Chu Yang to the room on the far left. The latter pushed the door open and saw Fang Jianzhong and another man who was slightly older than him sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

Seeing Chu Yang, Fang Jianzhong stood up with a smile.

"Ayang, let me introduce you. This is Zheng Hongxing, the deputy captain of our Fishery Law Enforcement Brigade."

"This must be Mr. Chu from Zhui Ri Dao Seafood Co., Ltd. He is indeed young and promising."

Zheng Hongxing walked quickly to Chu Yang with a smile on his face and took the initiative to extend his hand.

"Hello, Captain Zheng, thank you for the compliment." Chu Yang kept a formal smile on his face.

Although Zheng Hongxing gave him a feeling of being a little slick, it was normal for people in the officialdom to be like this, not to mention that today he was asking for help.

Who doesn't know how to act according to the situation?

The Fishery Law Enforcement Brigade is a department under the Fishery Administration Bureau that is specifically responsible for combating fishery crimes. For example, the Fishery Law Enforcement Brigade was responsible for the inspections when Chu Yang went out to sea several times.

This department is also responsible for seizing illegal fishing boats and fishing gear.

"Let's go, Lao Zheng, take Mr. Chu to visit your dock first."

After a brief introduction, Fang Jianzhong spoke.

"Okay, Director, Mr. Chu, please come this way."

Under his leadership, the group quickly arrived at a dock in the port.

"We're almost there."

Chu Yang paused and scanned the dock.

This place is called a dock, but it is actually a beach. There are more than a dozen iron-hulled fishing boats of different specifications with the word "dismantle" sprayed on them parked on the beach, and there are various fishing gear piled up like a small mountain next to them.

Illegal boat dismantling site

To be honest, Chu Yang was a little disappointed.

If Zheng Hongxing hadn't told him, he would have thought this was a garbage dump.

Most of those iron-hulled boats were severely corroded, and few of the fishing gears were in good condition.

Even if they were given to Chu Yang for free, he would not want them.

Whether they could be used or not was not mentioned, but a large sum of money would be spent on repair and maintenance.

Even if they were fixed, they would only last for two years and then be scrapped. Oh, that would be another large sum of money.

This thing is like a car. After it breaks down, you can't just sell it as scrap. You have to go through a professional scrapping process and pay someone to dismantle it.

"Mr. Chu, don't worry. Don't say you don't like these things outside. Even I don't like them. Let's go this way."

Zheng Hongxing seemed to see through Chu Yang's thoughts and said with a smile.

"Oh!"

Chu Yang patiently followed.

After crossing the beach and coming to a steel frame structure building blocked by a large iron sheet, Chu Yang guessed that they should have arrived.

Sure enough, after entering the door, there was a different world inside.

"Boss Chu, take a look. Are you satisfied with this boat?"

Zheng Hongxing pointed to the left side of the dock with a smug look on his face, and Chu Yang looked over.

In the field of vision, a red-bottomed and white-bodied iron-hulled fishing boat was quietly "parked" on the reinforced concrete dock.

"This boat was seized in July. It is 13.9 meters long and 3.1 meters wide, with a net tonnage of 21 tons. It can be used for offshore trawling. The ship is also designed and equipped with a cold storage and a live water tank, which can store 1.5 tons of frozen fish and 1 ton of live fish respectively..."

It can be seen that Zheng Hongxing has done enough homework in advance. He knows all the data of this ship by heart and introduces it in great detail.

Chu Yang is also very satisfied.

A 13.9-meter boat can transport 3,000 kilograms of frozen fish and 2,000 kilograms of live fish at a time, which is enough for the purchasing station.

If it doesn't work, the deck and cabin can still fit a lot.

More importantly, the fishing boat had only been seized two months ago, and it was a new boat with a relatively short service life. The paint on it was barely worn out, and the glass, deck and other things were all well preserved, much better than the one Chu Yang had rented before.The Minquanyu 1688 is in much better condition.

This new boat is put on the market, and the seller dares to shout "99% new".

"It's a good thing, but I don't know how much this boat costs?"

He Xijun, who was visiting on the side, couldn't help asking.

The business of the purchasing station is booming, but after all, it's a short time, and the balance in the account is just over 100,000. She is afraid that it will not be enough to pay.

Chu Yang is also curious. Such a boat, even if it is second-hand, will cost at least 250,000.

"It's hard to say the price of this boat. If it is auctioned, it will probably be more than 300,000."

Zheng Hongxing replied with a smile.

The people at the purchasing station felt a little nervous.

It's really good, and it's really expensive.

Even if the purchasing station is sold, it can't be bought!

Chu Yang also frowned slightly. This price is nothing to him, but he can't pay for the boat for the purchasing station with his own money.

There is a proverb in the US that friends are friends and business is business, and it makes a lot of sense.

Many friends and relatives start businesses together, but the reason for failure is not that the business is not good, but that they cannot distinguish between public and private.

Chu Yang glanced at Fang Jianzhong, wondering when the capital injection from Quanzhou Aquatic Products will arrive.

With the 5 million yuan, let alone a 13.9-meter boat, even a 139-meter boat... well, it seems that I still can't afford it.

In short, once the money is in place, Chu Yang can do many things freely.

Fang Jianzhong understood Chu Yang's meaning and said with a smile:

"I have a way to let you take the boat back without spending any money. But..."

Chu Yang's eyes lit up immediately, and he handed Fang Jianzhong a cigarette and said with a smile: "Director Fang, please speak up."

Fang Jianzhong took a puff of cigarette and continued: "You can let Quanzhou Aquatic Products buy the boat, and then convert its price into the investment amount and give it to the company for use, but I can't make the decision on this matter. Your uncle Wang must agree to speak up."

Quanzhou Aquatic Products is a state-owned enterprise, and the fishery administration can't reach that far.

Of course, state-owned enterprises are also under the leadership of the municipal government. As long as Father Wang speaks up, everything is a piece of cake.

And such a public-to-public transaction will not leave any hidden dangers for Chu Yang.

Although the thunder of "judicial auction" has not exploded even after more than ten years, he still hopes to make it as formal as possible.
