The BEST Business Partner For Any Kind Of Business

At last, the long wait was over...

That's me standing on one of the tuna fishing boat's palatik. 

Ramil hurriedly entered my office when he saw that I already arrived for work to inform me that IJ fishing boat was already set. By the way, it was called "IJ" taken from the initials of my name and that's I for Ivan and J for Jude.

Get Your Engines Ready

Instead of just two weeks, the hardwood logs arrived one month and two weeks after it was ordered by Ramil. The delay became a blessing in disguise because it gave me enough time to look for the cash needed for the boat building project after Jhoven backed out.

During this time, Ramil and I went to different surplus engine shops to look for an engine that's suitable for our boat. We opted to look for it in surplus shops because brand new engines are unavailable in our area and it's very expensive. Besides, these surplus engines are still in good condition.

Never Back Down

Two weeks later, the three of us convened again....

I was hoping to hear some good news about the hardwood logs that was ordered by Ramil.
But when I asked Ramil about its status, he informed us that the loggers were having a hard time transporting down the logs from the mountains due to unfavorable weather conditions.
That was kinda disappointing to hear because it would certainly add more delay to the start of the boat construction.
But, I also understood that those things were beyond our control and we can't blame anyone about it.

We Can Build This Dream Together

Then it was decided...

That we will build another boat...
Ramil, Johven, and I will be the owners of this boat.
Based on our estimates, the cost of building one boat is 360k Pesos.
So, each of us needs to chip in 120k Pesos.

Be Prepared For Repairs

I just came home from an honest day's work and when I was getting off of my motorcycle I felt something vibrate on my left thigh. I knew that it was a message received by my mobile phone and so I grabbed it out of my pocket to check who it was. It was a text message from Ramil informing me that our boat docked earlier in the morning an that it had a good catch.

"At last! After a few weeks of break-even, I'll finally receive something again.", I said to myself.
