Chapter 125 Celebration Banquet
As the three wrecked ships were salvaged out of the water one after another, the salvage team stationed on Nanshan Island for more than two months also began to come to an end. The day after the No. 3 wreck was completely cleaned up, the salvage team held a celebration banquet on Nanshan Island.
It's just that in the eyes of the staff of the salvage team, the so-called 'celebration banquet' is also an end banquet. After all the wrecks were salvaged, these transferred staff members also had to leave here and return to their original units.
To Zhuang Haiyang's surprise, in addition to the members of the salvage team, Nanzhou Island and the capital sent special personnel to the island to celebrate the achievements. The work of the salvage team was affirmed, and the successful completion of the salvage of the wreck was also celebrated.
In terms of the value of the items salvaged from the wreck alone, although it is far less than the Nanfang No. 1, which was salvaged a few years ago. But none of the three wrecks were empty, and more or less valuable artifacts were salvaged, which is naturally worth celebrating.
As a supernumerary member of many hats, Zhuang Haiyang was also invited to attend the celebration banquet. Even the seafood for the celebration banquet is all supplied by Zhuang Haiyang. In order to prepare these seafood, Zhuang Haiyang was also busy for several days in a row.
Sun Xingyuan, who seemed a little nervous in the past, personally served wine at the celebration banquet and said: "Haiyang, this salvage work can be successfully completed, and you also have a share of the credit." I personally thank you for your support. β
"Team Sun, I'm a little frightened when you say this! I really want to say thank you, and I thank you. If it weren't for your special attention, I wouldn't have worked so hard during this time! Now, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. β
As soon as these words came out, Li Tie and the others, who were sitting with Zhuang Haiyang, couldn't help laughing. Even if they knew it was a joke, Li Tie and the others also knew that in order to supply the seafood needed by the salvage team, Zhuang Haiyang was really not easy.
Every day, I go out early and return late, and I am busy fishing in the nearby sea. The most important thing is that Zhuang Haiyang's way of fishing, unlike other fishermen's nets, Zhuang Haiyang uses more row hooks and crab pots, and occasionally uses hand fishing and the like.
This way of fishing will not cause serious damage to the surrounding marine ecology. Correspondingly, the more time and effort is required. Don't look at some people who say that Zhuang Haiyang earns a lot every day, but this job is really not easy.
As it should be, except for the time when he went to the capital, Zhuang Haiyang never interrupted the supply of seafood. At least for the staff of the salvage team, they all feel that the seafood supplied by Zhuang Haiyang is authentic, not to mention the quality and taste.
Sun Xingyuan, who was scolded, was also speechless and said, "You guy, do you want to be a salted fish like that?"
"I didn't think about it, I just thought it was very comfortable to have salted fish once in a while. Just kidding, Team Sun don't mind. Thanks to your care, this year has been a fruitful one for me. This Spring Festival, it shouldn't be bad for money. β
"I can't see that you're still a money string. Anyway, I really need to say thank you for the success of this salvage work. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know. β
"Really, I'm just an ordinary little fisherman, and I wouldn't dare disturb you busy man. During this time, the Sun team has also worked hard, and I believe that the big guys are watching it. Now that the work is over, the Sun team can also take a good rest this Spring Festival. β
Zhuang Haiyang, who was talking, accompanied Sun Xingyuan to clink glasses, and then drank it. Sun Xingyuan, who had drunk with Zhuang Haiyang, knew that the guy in front of him was scary because he had a lot of alcohol. Fighting with him is purely to find guilt for himself.
It's just that Sun Xingyuan really needs to thank Zhuang Haiyang. If it weren't for these old houses on Nanshan Island, the salvage team would have wanted to complete the salvage work in such a short time, but I am afraid that it would be impossible.
After sending off Sun Xingyuan, who came to toast, Zhuang Haiyang accompanied Li Tie and other old comrades-in-arms to continue drinking. Although soldiers are not allowed to drink alcohol at will, on an occasion like today, Miao Xinmin, as the captain, did not stop it.
This time, the salvage work time is long, and the pressure on each salvage team member is not small. Except for the other three salvage diving teams from time to time when some people ask for leave due to physical discomfort, only the diving team he leads has never asked for leave or absenteeism.
If you really want to evaluate the merits of the divers, Miao Xinmin is confident that the diving team he leads must be the first. Because of Zhuang Haiyang, the landlord, Li Tie and others also found a place to relieve pressure, and went to Zhuang Haiyang's house to brag and relieve boredom.
Because of this, Miao Xinmin also said solemnly: "Xiaozhuang, I also toast you, I have not bothered you a little during this time." β
"Platoon commander, if you want to say that, I really don't dare to drink this wine. Since I was discharged from the army, I have dreamed of going back to my old army. But I know that it is inconvenient for our troops to visit. I'm glad from the bottom of my heart that you're here.
I am also glad to have you here. Now that you're going to leave again, I'm going to feel bad again. If that's a disturbance, then you just stay, I wish you would continue to bother!"
Listening to what Zhuang Haiyang said, Miao Xinmin also scolded with a smile: "You guy, do you have to deduct words? No one else is allowed to visit, you really want to go back to the old army, call me at any time, I promise to let you get your wish." β
"Okay, Tie Niu, you all heard it, this is what Miao Lian personally promised. After the New Year, I called the old squad leaders and them, and then we, the mothers, also went back to our mother's house to visit relatives. When the time comes, we won't get drunk!"
"Okay, I'll wait, come, let's have a drink!"
Through this period of understanding, Miao Xinmin already knew that after the beginning of spring, Zhuang Haiyang would have some big moves. What really surprised him was that Zhuang Haiyang's relationship and financial resources seemed to be expensive, and he should have some achievements.
Secondly, Zhuang Haiyang wanted to contact some old comrades-in-arms who had retired from the army, and some could not be contacted, so he also entrusted Miao Xinmin to help. For this kind of entrustment, Miao Xinmin and the leaders of the old army are very helpful.
In the final analysis, if it weren't for the regulations, for officers like Miao Xinmin, they would also like to be able to work with the soldiers they lead. It's a pity that every year there are new recruits entering the camp and veterans leaving the army.
The officers, who have formed a deep comradeship with these veterans who have been discharged and demobilized, also know more or less that after some veterans return to their localities, their work is not very smooth. If Zhuang Haiyang can provide a job, it is undoubtedly a great thing.
Even, after listening to Zhuang Haiyang's idea, Miao Xinmin also said that after he went back, he would discuss it with the leaders of the troops. In Miao Xinmin's view, if Zhuang Haiyang's plan can succeed, it will not be a bad thing for the troops.
Everyone knows that for the navy, the huge civilian fishing boats are also a reserve maritime force. If Zhuang Haiyang can recruit demobilized non-commissioned officers in a centralized manner and have the financial resources to provide them with jobs, it will also be a good thing for the troops.
As the saying goes, 'if there is a war, they will be recalled', these demobilized non-commissioned officers only need to be given the corresponding status, and they can become a reserve echelon force at any time. Unlike ordinary veterans, most of the demobilized non-commissioned officers are not of a low level of professionalism.
In the matter of leasing Nanshan Island, perhaps the troops do not want to interfere too much. You can set up a salvage company, and the troops can also help say hello. No matter what, the fleet of Zhuang Haiyang's old troops is itself in charge of the outer waters of Nanzhou.
Warships often go out to sea to patrol and require a lot of resources. If there are more people and ships like Zhuang Haiyang, they can become the eyes of the navy, always keep an eye on the movements of foreign forces in the surrounding waters, and provide intelligence and data reference for the navy.
Wang Mingcheng, who was accompanying the high-ranking officials sent by Nanzhou Island to drink, listened to the lively atmosphere at the table where Zhuang Haiyang was, and suddenly said: "Senior official Qian, take the liberty to ask, I heard that someone wants to lease Nanshan Island for island tourism development?"
Faced with this inquiry, Senior Officer Qian was stunned and said: "There is indeed this project, but it has been shelved for the time being." What does Elder Wang suggest?"
I just think that your islands in Nanzhou are very rich in tourist resources, but there is no need to fight the idea of such an offshore island? First, if the supervision is not effective, it is easy to cause large-scale marine pollution.
Not to mention, just the sea area where the wreck is located this time, I and Lao Liu and they sent people to study it in detail, and the marine species are very rich. The reason for this is that there are not many fishing boats in this area over the years.
Offshore fishing boats can't run so far, and far-sea fishing boats won't stop in this sea area for too long. Fishery resources are dwindling, and I'm sure you know better than I do. If there is no fishing here, then I don't need to talk about the consequences, right?"
Hearing this, Senior Officer Qian thought for a while and said, "Thank you Elder Wang, we will consider this matter carefully!"
"Don't think I'm an old man talking too much! I know that the tourism industry is the pillar industry in South Asia. But I think sometimes it's necessary to keep a few pieces of pure land. Come here to invest, not to mention the income, the intention is not guaranteed!
Although the salvage work is over, the salvage team will also be disbanded on the spot. But in the future, we will also organize maritime forces to show a series of maritime exploration work along this line. No one can guarantee that there will be no shipwrecks nearby. β
The meaning of this is not very straightforward. But senior officials also knew that Wang Mingcheng was worried that some people were actually engaged in the theft of sunken ships in the name of investment. In this kind of place, it is really not easy to regulate.
After pondering for a while, Senior Officer Qian finally said: "This aspect really needs to be paid attention to. When I get back, I'll call a meeting to discuss!"
"Thank you, don't be suspicious, my old man is so talkative!"
"Mr. Wang's words are serious! In the construction of the local economy, I also want you to give more suggestions and suggestions!"
"I can't afford this! However, I think that compared with large-scale island tourism development, under the premise of attaching importance to ecological protection, some island tourism can also be carried out. That kid still has a bit of a brain. β
"Oh, then wait, I really want Wang Lao to help introduce you. β
In the eyes of others, Wang Mingcheng is only the person in charge of the salvage of the wreck. But for high-ranking officials such as Qian, they know that Wang Mingcheng's weight and connections should not be underestimated. If you can't make friends, try not to offend.
China itself pays attention to connections, and Wang Mingcheng, as an old expert, has many protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials in various departments in China. Even if it is usually inconspicuous, if you really offend these old experts, I believe it will still cause a lot of unpredictable trouble.
