Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 290 Warship!

Where is the ship?
Where else could it be?
"Of course it's in my belly! Don't you know that I can stand a man on my fist, a horse can ride on my arm, and a boat can be held in my belly?"

Seeing Ximen Lang said this directly.

I took a glance at Ximen Lang's well-proportioned body, who wasn't very strong, but was surprisingly strong, and whose strength was growing.

Gulp, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Bai Ling said dissatisfiedly.

"Don't make trouble, I'm telling you something serious."

"I'm picking a fight with you? You were the ones who started it, okay? I've already told you, that's a ship! It's a ship! A ship that can sail in the ocean, not a car that runs on land! You're still standing there like idiots, shouting "Where is it, where is it, where is the ship? Bring the boat over here, I want to see the boat!"

"You're all so clueless! Come on, come on, tell me for yourself. Just because you were so clueless just now, I said you were like idiots. Was I wrong? Did I wrong you? No, did I?"

Good guy, he caught Bai Ling and the others and started beating them up, making Bai Ling's little face turn red.

Both Lao Luo and Director Wang felt a little embarrassed and hot.

Just give those guys a good beating.

Ximen Lang then took out a detailed price list and introduced it to everyone while letting them familiarize themselves with the prices.

"You can see for yourself what the exact price is. It's incredibly low, beyond your wildest dreams! The secondhand boats I bought the radars for are also on this list."

"Although it's not 99% new for my personal use, the quality is definitely guaranteed. It won't break down! And even if it breaks due to improper operation, we can buy parts from there or just take it there for maintenance."

"As for where the ship is now, forget about it. I never brought it back. It's still docked with us."

After saying this, Ximen Lang waved his hand when he saw Bai Ling and the others immediately showed a look of concern.

"Don't overthink it. It has nothing to do with us. In fact, as soon as this matter was finalized, they dispatched several fishing boats of various sizes overnight and parked them at our port, waiting for me to take them away."

"Of course, due to the short timeframe, we can't mobilize large ocean-going fishing vessels in such a short period of time. But we definitely don't have a shortage of small and medium-sized fishing vessels, especially small ones! We can definitely get going as soon as we get there and leave as soon as we start!"

"It's mainly due to our reasons."

"What's the reason on our side?"

They looked at each other for a long time, but couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Bai Ling tentatively suggested that there was no waterway in the old city, so the ships couldn't bring the goods back.

"Alang, although there's no waterway in Sijiu City, there is one in Tianjin, and it's quite large. All water freight depends on it!"

Seeing that Bai Ling had the nerve to bring up this matter, Ximen Lang said unhappily.

"What kind of ship is this? It weighs hundreds of tons and can sail in the ocean. It's a legitimate ocean-going fishing vessel! What kind of small ditch is that? You want me to leave?!"

"What's the current state of Tianjin's waterways? It's such a small river, even a slightly larger sailboat would struggle to pass through it, how could he possibly make it?! He can't, he doesn't have the ability, you know?" "But I saw that the boats passing by on the river were quite big."

"Oh, thank God. I already told you that this little ditch of yours can only carry a 40-ton boat at best. Any more and it'll get stuck and sink right in!"

"It's hard for him to even get past a 40-ton sailboat. My ship is a massive one weighing several hundred tons. Can you guarantee it can get through?"

"What if it gets stuck? Tell me what to do if such a big thing gets stuck? Do you need someone to lift it? Should I do it or do you? Can you lift it with your tiny arms and legs?"

"You can't even get past a small ocean-going fishing vessel that's only a few dozen meters long and displaces hundreds of tons! What about a medium-sized ocean-going fishing vessel whose displacement and length aren't even in the same weight class as a small ocean-going fishing vessel? What about a larger ocean-going fishing vessel that's even heavier?"

"The width of the boat alone takes up the entire river surface, and its bottom is practically pushing the riverbed down three meters! In such a situation, do you even try to let it pass? It'll get you stuck!"

"Is it, so big?!"

"What do you think?!"

Lao Luo and others, who had never seen such a big scene before, had no idea about distant-water fishing vessels.

Taking out his small cell phone, Ximen Lang lowered his head and started tinkering with it.

The various parameters of large ocean-going fishing vessels, which are often hundreds of meters long, twenty meters wide, and have a displacement of thousands of tons, were directly slapped in the faces of Lao Luo and others, leaving them speechless for a long time.

Ximen Lang then said.

"So, it's not that we have a problem, but that yours is too serious. We can't get the goods in. Even if we could get them in, you can't get them out! I have no choice but to leave the ships there and wait for us to figure out a solution, then I'll ship them back."

As for why it had to be transported to the city instead of being directly placed on the coast where it is more convenient,
"You think I'm omnipotent?! I can put things in from a distance of hundreds of meters, or even a kilometer or two, which is already amazing! This is directly hundreds of kilometers! Even if you work me to death, I can't do it!"

Unless Ximen Lang had actually visited the place, set foot there, and left traces.

Otherwise, let alone Jesus, even if the Jade Emperor came it would be useless.

But Ximen Lang is living a comfortable life now. He is so lazy that he doesn't want to go on such a long journey.
Isn't this just embarrassing?

"I was originally thinking of using these distant-water fishing boats to catch a few bluefin tuna for me, so Bai Ling and I could just chow down on them and eat them. But now it seems... well, we still have to wait!"

Ximen Lang had no way out, and Bai Ling and Lao Luo were even more helpless.

"Do we really need to build a canal? But we have so much to do, how can we afford to build a canal? Even if Brother Lang has enough food, it will take years to build, and we can't afford it! Not to mention building a canal that big!"

After hearing what Lao Luo said, Bai Ling sighed with helplessness.

"Yeah, those super-large fishing boats are often 10 to 20 meters wide. To allow them to pass through unimpeded, the river would have to be widened to at least 40 to 50 meters! Yang Guang built a canal that was only this big after he defeated the Sui Dynasty. We? I can't even imagine how huge the project must be!"

As he was speaking, Ximen Lang spoke again.

"Don't just worry about the width; you also have to pay attention to the depth. Because in addition to the fishing boats, I also got you a few warships from our side. These are serious 7000-ton giants. If the water is not deep enough, they won't be able to pass!"
