Chapter 754 753. Much easier (25)
More than one million Australian dollars is not a problem for Li Du. He has no loan, so he directly pays in full.
Rooney was overjoyed. This may not be the largest single yacht deal he has dealt with, but it is the happiest one. On the same day, Li Du went to pay the money, and Giant Offshore Heavy Industry was responsible for handling the formalities, and the deal was completed!
"Do you have a boat driver's license?" he asked. "If you don't have one, you'll have to hire a pilot, and I can put that in touch for you."
Hearing this, Li Du and others were depressed.
At first they only wanted to buy a small boat like a fishing boat, which ordinary people can drive after training, but now they need a boat driver's license to buy a yacht, how could they have this?
Fortunately, Li Du has subordinates, and Brother Wolf, who was silent the whole time, spoke at this time: "Boss, I have one, but it's from Germany, and I have to translate it in Australia."
Just like a car driver's license, Australia also recognizes ship driver's licenses from many countries, but translations are required.
Rooney said: "Leave this to me, five hundred yuan, and I will help you handle it properly."
You spent more than one million yuan, and you still care about five hundred yuan? Li Du paid quickly.
Two days later, they came to sail, and Rooney gave them the translation of the driver's license by the way.
During these two days, Brother Wolf followed the driver Rooney found to learn how to drive the Seastar 60 at Giant Monster Heavy Industry. At the end of March, they went to the dock of Giant Monster Marine Heavy Industry. The Starfish 60 passed by, and they boarded together.
The full-load displacement of the Starfish 60 is 30 tons, the draft is 1.5 meters, and it can carry 10 people. However, Li Du and his party are mostly children, so it is not too stressful for a group of people to go up.
With the whine of their new yacht, they left Melbourne for the King Isle.
"This time, as long as there is no stormy weather, we will eat and live in the sea, and we will definitely gain a lot!" Hans said confidently.
After these two days of cooling off, Li Du no longer had the excitement and irrationality he had when he first came into contact with yachts.
He said depressedly: "The place where we fish for black gold abalone is at most two or three hundred meters away from the shore. With such a short distance, do we need to stay in the sea all the time?"
His subtext is, such a short distance, why should they buy a yacht?
The answer is no, it is not necessary at all.
The speed of Starfish 60 is 25 knots, about 40 kilometers per hour, slower than fast ships, and finally arrived at Jindao after a four-hour voyage.
When Li Du arrived in the sea area of the jet rock, they happened to encounter the jet of air from the bottom of the sea, just like a fountain, and several huge water columns flew up from the sea surface one after another.
"Wow, that's cool." Sophie exclaimed.
Li Dugang wanted to explain this geographical phenomenon. A large kayak appeared behind the side of their yacht, and a young man was holding the paddle and staring at their yacht intently.
This young man is Cruz, who had rescued Li Du underwater once before.
Seeing the other party staring at his yacht, Li Du waved: "Hey, buddy, are you all right?"
Seeing Li Du standing at the bow clearly, Cruz frowned and asked, "Why are you back again? I thought you wouldn't go into the sea again after the last lesson."
Li Du shrugged his shoulders and said, "No way, buddy, I have to make money to support my family. You see, there are so many people here, and they all rely on me to make money."
Although the guy's tone was not very good, Li Du didn't care. After all, he saved his life. As long as he didn't bully him, no matter what his tone was, he would answer with a smile.
Cruz stared at Haixing 60 suspiciously, and said: "You drive such a yacht, and then tell me to support your family? But you are a rookie, driving a yacht to catch black gold abalone? You really have you, are you afraid that no one will pay attention to you? "
Li Du smiled and said, "It's more comfortable to drive a yacht. By the way, buddy, how have you gained recently?"
Cruz said resentfully: "It's not good, damn it, you saw that the surrounding seabed has been active recently, and I haven't been in the sea much."
Li Du signaled Brother Wolf to bring the boat up, and he asked, "Would you like to come up and have a drink of beer? Maybe we can chat and exchange information about Hei Jin Bao's resources."
Cruz curled his lips and said: "Drink it yourself, drink it and go into the sea? How bold! I want to live a few more years, so I never drink!"
On the contrary, Mullins told them that freedivers cannot smoke or drink. Smoking affects lung function, and drinking affects the nervous system.
However, Li Du and the others are not professional freediving enthusiasts. They can only dive for a dozen or twenty meters to dig abalones. Drinking and smoking is not a big deal.
Cruz is a young man with great personality. He rowed away. When he passed the yacht, he suddenly turned around and shouted: "Don't be complacent, I don't have starfish, but I have Faraday! But who would drive a yacht to catch abalone? So stupid!"
Faraday and Starfish are both yacht brands, but Starfish is a second-tier brand, while Faraday is the world's top yacht brand.
Li Du laughed, this guy is quite interesting, how could he be proud? He's obviously very grateful for this guy, okay?
In addition, he felt that there was something wrong with Cruz's words. It sounded like he was showing off, but in fact he seemed to have no confidence and no money.
But as far as Li Du knew, these black gold abalone fishermen should be very rich.
There are also black gold abalone fishers who usually gather in groups. One is the danger underwater, and the other is that someone has to guard the black gold abalone that is caught. Last time he saw Cruz and his father together, this time he was alone. eccentric.
But it had nothing to do with him. He sailed to find a living area of Heijinbao, signaled Brother Wolf to drop anchor here, and then changed into diving suits with Hans and prepared to go into the water.
Brother Wolf had to control the boat, so the assistant was replaced by Sophie, and Sophie accompanied the two into the water.
Stepping on flippers and jumping into the ocean, Li Du quickly locked onto a big black golden abalone.
This black golden abalone lives more than ten meters underwater, which belongs to relatively shallow waters. After training, Li Du is no longer a problem with free diving at this depth.
Out of vigilance, he still landed slowly, and held his head up and straightened his arms. He used his arms to feel the sea conditions. If there were undercurrents or turbulent currents, he could leave with his chest straightened out, using the strength of his abdomen and the direction of his head. the waters.
This time he still encountered an undercurrent. Using the undercurrent estimation method taught by Mullins, he felt it, and felt that the undercurrent speed was D-level, relatively slow, and had little impact on diving.
Li Du returned to the surface of the water and took a breath. He took three breaths, that is, first took two small breaths, and then took a third breath with force.
With air, he returned to the water, took out the pry board to pry up the position of Hei Jinbao's buttocks, then stuffed it into the abalone card, and gradually pushed it in.
After several times of prying like this, he held his breath until he had pried off half of the abalone, which was a big improvement over the last time.
Taking another breath, he returned to the water and continued to work. After floating, he raised his arms before he came out of the water, and a black golden abalone came out through the water.
