74: The formalities are completed

Yang Qi followed Zhang Jun's instructions and found a furniture store. He found a vendor selling fish tanks and explained his situation.

He needed a fish tank 4 meters long and 1.1 meters wide to be delivered and installed in Qingshan Town.

The owner quoted 600 yuan, which included two workers to drive, deliver, and install it.

"Damn, that's a bit steep!"

Yang Qi thought about it and still agreed.

Yang Qi took the two workers back to the Maritime Safety Administration and picked up the large fish tank before closing time.

The three of them arrived at Yang Qi's new home. The small truck carrying the goods drove through the gate.

The worker reminded him that the fish tank's placement was important and couldn't be random.

Yang Qi's heart skipped a beat. He had heard about this before, but he had completely forgotten just now.

Fortunately, the installation master reminded him. Now, he couldn't just do whatever!

Yang Qi gave each of the two masters a pack of cigarettes and asked them to wait a moment.

He picked up his phone and searched, then called his mother to ask.

His mother had seen the overall orientation and layout of his house last time. She finally decided that the best place was on the east side of the courtyard.

The East belongs to Wood, and Water nourishes Wood. Placing a fish tank there would help improve the family's overall fortune.

This was basically consistent with what the master had said.

"Alright, put it in the East!"

The two masters first measured the exact location, then quickly wrote out a material list and handed it to Yang Qi.

Yang Qi didn't say a word and drove off to purchase the items.

It must be said that professional matters should be handled by professionals.

By the time Yang Qi returned from shopping, less than an hour had passed. The two masters had already finished the installation and debugging.

The water intake was still connected to the seawater pipeline on the roadside outside. These pipelines all led to a seawater purification plant behind the town.

After purification, the water was then supplied for use by all town residents, for washing, cleaning, or watering vegetables and the like.

He thoroughly understood the fish tank's filtration system, water purification equipment, silent water pump, and intelligent constant temperature system.

After checking that everything was in order, he turned off the power. The two masters said goodbye and left.

Yang Qi locked the gate, got into his minivan, and returned to his village house.

Yang Qi stewed a pot of steak and enjoyed a delicious meal to reward himself.

Lying in bed, he sent Bai Xue a message, telling her about buying the boat.

Bai Xue was also very happy for him when she heard. She even said that when she returned, she would take Yang Qi out to sea on the boat.

Yang Qi thought it was a bit funny that he had bought a boat even though his driver's license hadn't come yet!

Fortunately, he would be able to take the test in a few days. He hoped to pass on the first try and get his license soon.

Early the next morning, Yang Qi rushed to the entrance of the Maritime Safety Administration. Zhang Jun called and also arrived.

The two found a nearby breakfast shop and had their breakfast.

They waited until working hours, then Zhang Jun took Yang Qi inside to find Zhang Long.

"Brother!"

"Brother Long, no, Officer Zhang."

"A Jun, Yang Qi, you're here! So early!" Zhang Long greeted them with a smile.

"This kid can't wait for his boat! Hahaha!"

Zhang Jun was always the one to lighten the mood.

"Then let's go!"

Zhang Long took the two of them to handle the formalities.

Even with Zhang Long's guidance and taking advantage of this group processing, it still took an entire day to complete all the paperwork.

At noon, he and Zhang Jun even had lunch at the Maritime Safety Administration's cafeteria.

There was a small interlude in the morning. In one of the offices, a staff member pointed at the original documents and quietly said to Zhang Long:

"Section Chief Zhang, look here!"

The few of them leaned in to see that the old certificate clearly registered a CCS Class I navigation area.

"Should we register according to the old certificate?" the staff member asked softly.

"Hmm, everything as usual. We're just transferring ownership; we're not concerned with anything else."

Zhang Long also replied softly.

"Okay! I understand."

The staff member replied.

Yang Qi also knew that under normal circumstances, a vessel like this would not pass the CCS Class I navigation area audit.

The meaning of this CCS Class I navigation area is:

It can travel to areas more than 200 nautical miles (approximately 370 kilometers) from the coastline.

This was incredible, considering that the southeast coast of Hainan Island does not exceed a specific area of 50 nautical miles (approximately 92 kilometers).

Yang Qi strongly suspected that when this ship was submitted for review, some kind of illicit transaction took place with certain relevant personnel, which opened the door for criminals.

The dirty dealings involved must have been extensive.

However, these were not things a small person like him should worry about. Wasn't it all benefiting him now?

The new boat name had also been repainted—"Qihang" (Voyage) number.

Finally, the ownership registration of the boat was completed.

Zhang Long also helped him obtain the Fishing License.

Yang Qi, of course, knew that this license was difficult to obtain, especially since he was not a local.

If he applied himself, he didn't know when he would be able to get it.

Yang Qi truly didn't know how to thank Zhang Jun and Zhang Long enough!

Both of them were his benefactors, especially Zhang Jun. He had truly helped him a great deal.

"I sincerely thank both of you brothers for your help; I will always remember it!"

Yang Qi said sincerely.

As the three of them were talking, Zhang Fei arrived. After getting out of the car and greeting his elder brother and cousin, he asked Yang Qi:

"Yang Qi, I heard you bought a big fishing boat! That's great!"

"My second brother told me to come and drive the boat. Let's go, where is the boat?"

Zhang Long chatted with them for a few moments and then went back into the unit.

The three took a taxi to the public pier. Looking at this "four-unlikes" boat, Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment.

Then he grinned widely, exclaiming in wonder!

"Who designed this? What a genius!"

Zhang Jun explained.

Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly in admiration:

"Then it's really suitable for Yang Qi. What's suitable is the best! You've really found a treasure!"

"Yang Qi, I know what my second brother means. He wants me to find you a berth."

"We're practically family now. My training center has a private pier, and we also rent out berths to the public."

"Again, it's a joint venture. The maximum discount I can give you is to charge you the fishing boat mooring fee, plus an internal price. It's 5,000 yuan a month."

"If it were calculated as a yacht or fishing boat, it would be 10 yuan per foot per day. For the size of your boat, it would be 18,000 to 20,000 yuan a month."

"Okay, as you said. Thank you, Brother Fei!"

Yang Qi had indeed looked into the matter of mooring fees. For yachts, fishing boats, and the like, mooring at some yacht marinas costs at least 8 or 9 yuan per foot per day.

Unless it's like those fishing boats, moored at a general pier. Then it's a monthly fee. But in that case, the pier isn't responsible for any scratches or bumps.

Moreover, Zhang Fei's place is considered a relatively high-quality private pier.

So, Yang Qi knew that this price for mooring fees was a very significant discount.
