You really know how to push my buttons, don’t you? Are you trying to tease me?
If I buy a few boats and set them up here, it would give me more supply lines. Isn’t that more promising than Diaoyu Island? I’ve mentioned this to Uncle Li, and he said the same thing. If we’re going to play over there, I’d have to hand all the boats over to you. He said I wouldn’t be able to resist!
With that, Shi Tian turned to leave, but Pingtou Ge yanked him back.
Thinking it over, there is still potential over there. But Uncle Li is right; it’s a bit dangerous. You really can’t resist, so I’ll take care of this! When can we get the boats? How about we secure a spot first and set up a Small Pier?
Li Yunfei relented; this opportunity must be seized. Who wants to stay out in the vast ocean if they can get on land?
I’ll buy the boats and give them all to you. Any profits will still be yours; that’s not how it works! It’s too dangerous over there; I can’t let you take risks! Shi Tian shook his head in firm refusal.
How much do the boats cost? I’ll have Xiao Yu transfer the money to you; I guarantee you’ll get every penny!
Is this just about money? This is about my chance to get on land! You can’t just say no!
Buying boats isn’t expensive; a fiberglass fishing boat costs about a million each.
But having Xiao Yu pay is definitely out of the question. Sooner or later, all of Xiao Yu’s money will be mine anyway! Buying my own boats with my own money? That doesn’t make sense!
Seeing Pingtou Ge getting anxious and scratching his head, Shi Tian almost burst out laughing.
Brother-in-law, then I won’t use Xiao Yu’s money. Ten million should be fine; can I borrow from Jun Ge without any issues? In his haste, Pingtou Ge even called him brother-in-law.
Since you recognize me as your brother-in-law, we’re family now! And since we’re family, what’s yours is mine! It would be rude to keep track of these expenses.
But when I come to propose to your family, you’ll help me out by saying the bride price should be lower, right? He smiled slightly, watching how Pingtou Ge would respond.
Li Yunfei and Hu Shuyi would definitely look down on that amount; they probably wouldn’t even bring up the bride price themselves.
But since it’s about marrying someone yourself, and he has the financial capability, Shi Tian would definitely want Li Ziyu to save face!
This is something I can’t control. But I can give you a suggestion: as long as you can handle Aunt Hu, it doesn’t matter how much bride price is needed. Just a little warning for Shi Tian; what Pingtou Ge fears most is Shi Tian suddenly saying no!
You can’t control this? Then let’s change it up: when I marry Xiao Yu, having a larger dowry won’t be an issue, right? He chuckled and continued teasing.
That’s not a problem! Once I’m on land and at Diaoyu Island, I’ll definitely make money. All the money earned will go into saving for Xiao Yu’s dowry—how about that?
As for the dowry issue, it’s not something one person can decide!
With ten boats working hard, how much money could we really save up?
The attitude is there, but there are too few tangible results.
With ten boats and two or three years’ time, how much could you really earn? You probably wouldn’t even break even!
"You've lost your chance, Pingtou Ge," Shi Tian continued teasing. "Since you can't make decisions about the bride price and dowry, let's talk about something you can handle!
I might need to get a few boats in the future and register them under your company’s name. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Absolutely no problem! Just register them as you like, and I'll have someone assist you when the time comes! Do you need help with the paperwork? I have some connections in that area. Just give me the information, and I promise to take care of it for you!"
