The Air Force was not cheap, costing nearly two hundred million. However, that ship was not suitable for him; he couldn't afford a fishing boat, and renting it as a yacht was out of the question. Only the Air Force, with its ample funds, could afford to play with such toys.
"Great-Grandson, are you selling that Mini Light Boat?" Old Kong asked directly, seeing that Shi Tian was not budging. It was impossible to play mind games with Shi Tian; if it were about fishing rods, they might have been able to lower their pride and joke around a bit. But with such a large vessel, small tricks wouldn't work.
"Old man, you can't be serious! My boat just launched, and I was thinking of taking you out for a spin. We haven't even docked yet, and you're already thinking about my boat?" Upon hearing that Old Kong and the others were still persistent, Shi Tian flatly refused.
The Mini Light Boat had only been in the water for a few days; he hadn't even had a proper chance to enjoy it yet, and now those old men were already eyeing it. How could that be allowed? If he agreed, by this time tomorrow, the Mini Light Boat would probably be dismantled in some dock for research!
This was also his fault; he had shown off after catching a few fish yesterday, and an old friend saw him and asked him to inquire about it! He had money; the price was no object for him! If necessary, they could build him an identical one and make him wait six months!
For the Mini Light Boat, Old Kong was ready to spend lavishly; after all, he wouldn’t have to pay out of his own pocket. Not to mention that just the router on the boat was worth as much as a Mini Air Force!
"Old man, think carefully. The Air Force is in Myanmar and won't be coming anytime soon. If you sell the Mini Light Boat now, you won't be able to go out to sea for at least half a year!"
Let alone half a year; the Air Force might not come at all. Until matters in Myanmar were settled, the Air Force would not be able to arrive. It was said that additional investments had been made there, expanding their operations significantly. It seemed those men would be staying there even longer.
Shi Tianyi said that the three old men shook their heads firmly; they really couldn't sell the boat—they hadn't had enough fun with it yet!
What if they reserved another one? How long would that take? Shi Tian wasn't selling the Mini Light Boat; even if he wanted to now, those old men weren't planning on letting him sell it.
The head asked Shi Tian for a set of keys; Xiao Li had gotten his license and was told to practice for a few days so they could take the boat out to sea whenever they wanted!
"You need to ask Ye Ge about this; this boat was built by Ye Ge's shipyard for me. I’m not sure about the specifics, but it should be pretty quick!"
A boat isn't like a fishing rod that can just be sold off at will. In his hands, it's merchandise; but in Shi Ye's hands, it's leverage!
According to Shi Ye's perspective, the Old Shi Family wasn't playing like entrepreneurs but like aristocrats. How aristocrats played wasn't clear to Shi Tian; he just knew that there wasn't an aristocrat on any billionaire list. Yet any aristocrat could easily wipe that list clean.
Old Kong was waiting for Shi Tian's words; once he got them, they could start negotiating with Shi Ye!
"Alright then, you stay in Suzhou and enjoy your pastoral life! Don’t wander off! In a few days, we’ll come over for drinks!" After jokingly scolding him, Old Kong hung up. If they wanted to talk with Shi Ye, the three of them needed to discuss things properly first.
Two thousand three hundred kilometers from Sanya to Suzhou took Da Gui Wang two days of travel. Running such a long distance alone wasn’t exactly pleasant. To thank Da Gui Wang, last night Shi Tian specially booked him a room at Jinji Lake and laid out a feast.
Early in the morning when Shi Tian arrived at the Fishing Tackle Shop, Da Gui Wang had already set up his rod there. He didn’t know what time Da Gui Wang arrived; all he knew was that he hadn’t taken down his gear yet.
"Turtle Brother! Up so early!" After parking his car and grabbing his fishing box, he sat down next to Da Gui Wang. Forget about opening the shop—let’s set up our rods and catch some Zao Kou first!
