Chapter 318 Opening up new routes
The condolences trip of the busy old troops ended, and the comrades-in-arms who returned to Nanshan Island seemed to have a different mentality than before. If they still missed the army and regretted not being able to stay in the team before, now they have figured it out.
Regardless of the righteousness of defending the country's coastal defense, these comrades-in-arms felt regretful that they could not stay in the team, and they still felt more accustomed to the life of the army. Secondly, as non-commissioned officers, their income is still better than finding a job after retirement.
But now that he has joined the fishing company founded by Zhuang Haiyang, his salary income is naturally much better than when he was in the army. The most important thing is that life here is more free than in the army, and even less stressful.
When Zhuang Haiyang returned to Nanshan Island and chatted with Wang Yanming over tea, the old squad leader also smiled and said: "On this trip to the old army, these guys are completely relieved." Now they have finally let go of the knot that they couldn't stay in the team in the first place. ”
"Squad leader, in fact, we have gained a lot from going to the army this time. Not surprisingly, after a while, we will be able to put on the military uniforms issued by the state again. It's just that our future identity is that of reservists under the command of the Navy. ”
"Ah, why didn't you tell me about this before?"
"These things were also told to me by the old company commander later. It's just a reserve uniform, and we can only wear it when we go to the training camp. But I believe that during the training camp, the big guys should be able to touch the gun and get past the addiction of target shooting. ”
"That's not bad! No matter what kind of military uniform, as long as it's a military uniform, it's also an honor!"
Retired non-commissioned officers like Wang Yanming, although they are also included in the list of local reservists in their hometowns. But they are retired from the Navy, and most of the reserve forces in their hometown are composed of the Army, and they are rarely mobilized.
If they can join the naval reserve on the Nanzhou side, it means that they are also officially members of the coastal defense forces. Taking time to participate in the corresponding reserve training camp every year is not only disgusting to them, but they feel very much looking forward to it.
As far as the local coastal defense department is concerned, it is natural that it will also fully cooperate with the work of the navy. What's more, with such a salvage team formed by professional divers, there may be a time when it will need to be mobilized!
After talking about these business matters involving his comrades-in-arms, Zhuang Haiyang also told Wang Yanming about the custom jewelry. Hearing this, Wang Yanming also said directly: "Please ask the master to make customized jewelry, I'm afraid it's worth a lot, right?"
"Don't worry! This money will be paid by the company. As a major shareholder, I only need to pay an additional processing fee. As for the money for materials, you know, this is equal to nothing. Of course, if it's too expensive, it can't be helped. ”
When I got married, I also chose jewelry with your sister-in-law, and I know that the jewelry inlaid with the best jadeite is not cheap. You give one per person, but I'm afraid it will cost a lot. I don't think you need to break the bank. ”
It is clear that Zhuang Haiyang, as the boss, treats these comrades-in-arms with benevolence. But in Wang Yanming's view, being a man should also be done in moderation. Whether it's fishing or salvaging wrecks, they have already received a lot of shares.
But in the end, Zhuang Haiyang still said: "Squad leader, to put it simply, you and Junzi are already married." When you got married, I didn't drink your wedding wine. It's not too much to give a jewelry as a wedding gift for you, right?
If Zitao and Avayi get married this year, they will definitely invite us to have a wedding wine. You wrap some gift money, I believe he will still accept it. And as the boss, can't I also give money? This jewelry is a little bit of my heart.
The most important thing is that I missed this opportunity, and next time I want to give you something memorable, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. I can't afford to give it away if it's too expensive, but I think it's okay to have some trinkets.
Even if there is a piece of such jewelry left behind for these comrades-in-arms who are still single, I believe their wives will be happy to give it to their wives in the future, right? To put it bluntly, even if there is a shortage of money in the future, this thing will be sent to auction, and I believe the price will not be low. ”
Seeing that Zhuang Haiyang had talked about this, Wang Yanming finally didn't say anything more. To put it simply, this is a benefit that belongs to all comrades-in-arms. If he suggested canceling it, how would the other comrades-in-arms feel if they found out?
Although the jadeite used to make jewelry is all leftovers for those large pieces. But all comrades-in-arms know that the meaning of master customization alone is different. What's more, even if it is leftovers, in the eyes of many people, it is still made of the best jadeite.
In contrast, the jewelry prepared by Zhuang Haiyang for his girlfriend and his sister is naturally different. For her boyfriend's intimacy, Concubine Li, who had just spent the weekend with her boyfriend, couldn't hide her inner joy when she saw the jewelry sent.
"I'm afraid that it will cost a lot of money after such a set, right?"
In fact, for the invited masters, they are happy to take such orders. Privately customized, or a few pieces of rare superb jadeite. There aren't many opportunities for them!"
"Well, I got it! I'll tell you when I'm ready. Besides, what about the eldest sister?"
"It's better not to tell her yet, and give it to her directly when it's ready. Do you really want to tell her, with her character, do you think she will say yes? I pondered, waiting for her to give birth to a baby for her first birthday, as a gift. ”
"Well, that's not bad either!"
The girl in the same dormitory, when she heard the news, was also envious. As the world says, girls are mostly unresistant to treasures. Just like expensive jade jewelry, it is what every girl wants to have!
Fortunately, to Lin Wan's delight, she learned that she could also customize a necklace or earrings, even if it couldn't be compared with Concubine Li. But she also knows that this is also a benefit that Zhuang Haiyang gave to her boyfriend, or to her!
In addition to the jewelry as a wedding gift for comrades-in-arms, the salvage dividends at the end of the private auction will also be distributed to these comrades-in-arms. Seeing the increase in the amount of money in their respective accounts, these comrades-in-arms also showed extreme excitement.
When they came this year, they were expecting to make a million a year this year. But no one expected that this goal would be achieved so quickly. Compared with the income from fishing, salvaging wrecks is hard and risky, but the income is really high.
At least Zhu Junhong, who was far away in his hometown and accompanied his wife to do confinement, was very envious when he learned the news: "You guys, you guys have really made a lot of money this time." But I have a son, you don't!
Even if he felt a little regretful, seeing his son who had just been born, Zhu Junhong still felt very satisfied. Even if the days with the baby are very tiring, Zhu Junhong, who is a first-time father, still knows that the most tired person is his wife.
Fortunately, after a while, when his wife finishes confinement, the two will be able to return to Nanshan Island. If it weren't for last year's income, the two of them wouldn't have such a leisurely life now. And next, Zhu Junhong will also work hard to make money.
Even if he had just made a large amount of money, he could hear that Zhuang Haiyang felt that he was going to sea again, and all his comrades-in-arms breathed a sigh of relief. Rather than staying on the island and doing nothing every day, these comrades-in-arms today prefer to live on an open sea ship.
Although salvaging a wreck can make a lot of money, it takes luck. On the other hand, if you go fishing, as long as you go to sea, you can basically return with a full load. If you don't go to sea for a long time, don't say that these comrades-in-arms can't sit still, even those fishermen are a little anxious to wait.
Zhuang Haiyang, who went to sea again, looked at the hanging chart and said, "Squad leader, why don't we change directions this time and go here to have a look." This sea area is also the ancient maritime Silk Road, let's go around the high seas, let's take a look first!"
"Good!"
Every time he goes to sea, the choice of course is basically Zhuang Haiyang's final say. Even in some sea areas, in the eyes of some fishermen, there are not many fishery resources. But Wang Yanming knows very well that with Zhuang Haiyang on the boat, there is basically no need to worry about the catch.
Occasionally changing the direction of fishing also helps them learn more about the waters. Although I went to the sea area this time, it is very likely to encounter far-sea fishing boats from other countries. But this kind of thing is actually very common at sea.
Unlike in previous years, when there were conflicts over fishery resources, domestic fishing boats are rarely attacked in these waters. Everyone knows that in recent years, the maritime and fishery administration departments have also often organized fleet cruises.
The comrades-in-arms sitting on the boat, even if they felt that the salvage ship seemed to sail in a different direction, did not feel that there was anything wrong. In their opinion, all they have to do at this moment is to stay honest and wait until they get to the place to prepare for the work.
When the salvage ship entered the waters of the high seas, looking at the occasional merchant ships, a comrade-in-arms asked: "Ocean, there are many ships passing in this area, and I am afraid that there are not many fish in this kind of place, right?"
"Most of the waterways navigated by merchant ships are deep sea waters. Let's take a look around the neighborhood and then find a suitable place to basket. The types of seafood in this sea area are still different from the ones we used to fish. ”
"Then let's see what fresh seafood we can catch this time!"
As Zhuang Haiyang deliberately adjusted his navigation to avoid the passage of merchant ships through the busy waterways. found a sea area with a relatively shallow water level, stood on the bow of the boat and carefully observed the situation in the sea, and soon Zhuang Haiyang asked Wang Yanming to slow down.
"Pengzi, get ready to get out of the cage!"
"All right, brothers, get ready to work. ”
When the crab pots filled with bait are thrown into the sea next to the boat one by one. In order to avoid the crab pots being salvaged by others, the salvage boat will definitely not go too far. found a suitable sea area nearby, and Zhuang Haiyang asked people to anchor and stop the ship.
"Okay! Tonight, let's rest here, and after eating, let's move freely!"
"Good!"
After eating, looking at Zhuang Haiyang, who had changed into a tight diving suit, all his comrades-in-arms knew that this guy was going to the sea again. On the other hand, they either stayed in the boat and had fun, or they found a fishing rod and caught a few rods on the boat.
Considering that this is a new sea area, Zhuang Haiyang also told his comrades on duty when he returned to the ship, and he must cheer up at night. No one can guarantee that there will be no uninvited guests at night. Being vigilant is not a bad thing after all.
I decided to come to this area to fish, more to find a new shipwreck. How can it be possible to find a new shipwreck in the same sea area? The most important thing is that the new sea area can also bring more freshness to Zhuang Haiyang!
