Chapter 497: Condolences on the Reef
With the launch of the first crop of vegetables on the farm, it has been greatly recognized by the market. The green vegetables that will be on the market one after another will naturally not have to worry about not being able to sell. In fact, the farm soon saw the benefits and gradually recouped its previous investment.
As the owner of the farm, Zhuang Haiyang did not put too much thought into the farm. has a brother-in-law and squad leader Wang Yanming, who supervises the business of the farm for him, Zhuang Haiyang still feels that he can rest assured to be the shopkeeper.
Back to Zhuang Haiyang on Nanshan Island, there are also team members who stay behind, and the ingredients produced on the island are still given priority to the Food Treasure Pavilion. In the eyes of many people, the ingredients produced in Nanshan Island are still truly top-notch and rare ingredients.
The most enviable thing for major restaurants is the seafood currently served on Nanshan Island, which has always made Shibao Ge very popular with diners. Nanshan Island serves lobster, wild grouper, oysters and even wild abalone, all of which are loved by diners.
Thankfully, there may be only one Food Treasure Pavilion. If you really open a branch on Nanzhou Island, you are afraid that those high-end restaurants on the island will also worry about the business being greatly affected. After all, high-end customers are limited!
Perhaps it is because Zhuang Haiyang has not forgotten his roots, and Chen Xingwang does not feel that there is anything wrong with the excellent organic vegetables supplied by the heirloom farm to other restaurants. In fact, he was also invited to take a stake in the resort restaurant that opened soon after.
Not surprisingly, this restaurant and resort will bring a lot of income to every investor. Perhaps, as Chen Zhong said, there is meat to eat with Zhuang Haiyang. Who wouldn't want to get involved in a lucrative business?
Taking advantage of the fact that the farm began to enter the stage of replanting trees, Zhuang Haiyang, after some consideration, selected more than 30 team members from the newly recruited retired non-commissioned officers, and added them to the fleet of ships going to sea, ready to sail the big ships out.
The team members who were hired earlier were naturally given priority to be included in the crew team. If you are a newcomer, after some training and familiarization with the environment, you can already take on the work of guarding and collecting ingredients, which can be regarded as bringing the old with the new.
After the supplies for going to sea were prepared, looking at his girlfriend who came to see him off, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "This trip to sea, I should stay at sea for a few more days." If there's anything urgent, just call me and I'll be back as soon as possible. ”
"Well, you can rest assured about your family. With me here, nothing should happen. ”
Compared with staying on land, Concubine Li knows better about the boyfriend in front of her and prefers to stay at sea. At least at this stage, she wants to stay on the farm with Zhuang Haiyang to live a small life, and it is estimated that there is no possibility.
It's just that what Concubine Li is looking forward to is that the two have discussed with Zhuang Ling before, and when the farm living area is completely built, the two will hold a wedding there. By the way, also make a live advertisement for the farm.
In order to hold this wedding well, Zhao Penglin also urged the construction company under his command to speed up the construction of the resort. Many projects are handled by a dedicated engineering team. In this case, the progress of the resort can be imagined.
Even if it is a recognized uncle-nephew relationship, but after all these years of contact, Zhao Penglin still cares about this recognized godnephew. If nothing else, on the day of the wedding, he still has the opportunity to sit in the lead, so he naturally has to worry a little more.
As an elder sister, Zhuang Ling was still relieved to learn that her younger brother had not changed his plan to get married at the end of the year. Her parents are not there, and her eldest sister is like a mother, so she naturally hopes that her younger brother will get married as soon as possible, and then have another baby for the Zhuang family to inherit the lineage.
To Zhuang Ling's surprise, she was very curious about why her younger brother had lived with his girlfriend for so long, why Concubine Li's stomach had never moved? She had asked Concubine Li before, and the two of them didn't seem to have taken any measures to avoid pregnancy.
Then why, Concubine Li can't get pregnant?
Regarding this issue, Concubine Li had been worried before, but Zhuang Haiyang still smiled and comforted: "You don't have to be too anxious about this kind of thing." When we get married, there should be good news. Don't you believe in my abilities?"
When they first started living together, Concubine Li still had to go to school, so she also considered whether to take medicine or something. Later, he was reprimanded by Zhuang Haiyang before dispelling this idea. And the real reason, Zhuang Haiyang did not reveal too much.
Only Zhuang Haiyang knew that every day when he cultivated, he would refine something. After refining those things, it is naturally impossible for Concubine Li to conceive a child. Besides, the two are not suitable to have children now.
Now that he has this heirloom farm, Zhuang Haiyang feels that the conditions are good in all aspects. And he himself prefers children. After getting married, if you have a child, your life will be more complete.
Taking advantage of the fact that there is not much time left until the end of the year, Zhuang Haiyang also plans to take these comrades-in-arms and go to the sea for a while longer. Even if it is profitable to run a farm, it is still higher to go to sea to make money at this stage.
Three boats, one large, two small, left the dock in front of everyone's eyes. Zhuang Haiyang, who was standing on the fishing boat, looked at the two salvage boats, one on the left and one on the right, and said very happily: "Lao Hong, we can be regarded as people with a fleet!"
"yes! You built one this year, and the speed is indeed a bit amazing. Are you going to add a boat next year?"
"Well, I have re-ordered a large-tonnage distant-water fishing vessel with the shipyard in Shanghai. Compared with fishing in the surrounding waters of China, the income of fishing abroad is higher. You should know that?"
In fact, I'm also looking forward to being able to run around the oceans in my life!"
For all members of the navy, when they were in the army, they were more active in their own waters. Only a few players have tried out in other seas away from their own waters.
If there is an opportunity, follow the fleet to other oceans, I believe they will be very interested. If you want to go to other oceanic activities, you will inevitably need large-tonnage distant-water fishing vessels. Ordinary cabins, going to the ocean is still very risky.
In any case, the fleet that embarked on the voyage to sea again, according to Zhuang Haiyang's request, reappeared near the South Reef near the evening approach. The officers and men stationed at the reef were extremely happy about the arrival of the fleet.
Looking at the supplies and condolences that were constantly being carried off the boat, Chen Zhijun, as the reef chief, said very happily: "Ocean, you kid is a real cow now!
"It's okay! In the past few years, the income has been good, and I have bought a little industry overseas. If you don't have a boat, it's a little inconvenient. On this trip, I also recruited some retired comrades-in-arms, and I plan to take them to sea for some activities. ”
"Well, I've heard about this, Dao Bin, this kid, said that he will go to work in your company next year?"
As soon as these words came out, looking at the old squad leader Dao Bin who came to pick up the ship, Zhuang Haiyang was also very surprised: "Dao squad leader, don't you turn to the fourth level?"
In the face of Zhuang Haiyang's inquiry, Dao Bin also smiled bitterly: "You kid sincerely joked about me, right? The situation of our troops, don't you know that the fourth level is so good? Moreover, I am not a technical soldier." ”
Even if the proportion of non-commissioned officers in the Navy is very high, most of the targets who can be transferred to non-commissioned officers give priority to technical arms. Similar to Daobin, who has strong combat skills, it is very good to be able to transfer to the third level, and it is really rare to want to be promoted to the fourth level.
Looking at Dao Bin's helpless expression, Zhuang Haiyang thought for a while and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the third-level non-commissioned officer should be able to arrange employment, right? Are you willing to give up the iron rice bowl and come to beg for food with our brothers?"
In a word, if I give up the resettlement, you won't accept me, right?"
Seeing that Dao Bin was very happy to ask this, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "You have said so, do I dare not accept it? To be honest, don't look at my team now, but there are not many people who can really be used in my hands." The old squad leader is willing to come, I warmly welcome you!"
"Don't think I'm clumsy! Actually, I also thought about going back to my hometown and finding a job to accompany my parents. But I spent 12 years at sea from the time I was a soldier until I was discharged. Returning to the prairie, I may not really be able to adapt to it!"
To Daobin's surprise, Zhuang Haiyang, who heard this, immediately said: "Old squad leader, if you don't say it, I really forgot that you are from the prairie." In that case, your parents should know how to herd, right?"
"Who said that if you come out of the prairie, you must know how to herd? However, my parents used to work on the ranch, but after my brother and sister got married, they didn't do it. What's the matter, do you still have to graze when you're fishing?"
Seeing Dao Bin scolding Zhuang Haiyang, Hong Wei, who was standing next to him, said with a smile: "Old Dao, it seems that you are really not very well-informed! Who stipulated that fishermen cannot graze their herds? The ocean is overseas, and it also has its own pasture?"
"But you're not going to call me over and herd for you, are you?"
Knowing that Dao Bin is such a straightforward character, Zhuang Haiyang didn't feel anything bad, but explained: "I heard from Lao Wang's squad leader before that you are married and even have children. If you stay, it will not be good to separate the two places.
I mean, if you really decide to retire and come to work in our company next year, then you might as well think about it and take your sister-in-law and children and even your parents over. I built a new 10,000-acre farm over there in Nanzhou.
On the farm, there is also a thousand-acre pasture, which now only raises some cattle and sheep. If you bring your family over, you should be able to find a job for them on the farm. In terms of income, it is definitely better than in your hometown.
And most importantly, if they want to come, even if you usually go to sea with me. When the company has a holiday, you can also accompany your family nearby. Save a few years and rent a plot of land here to set up a farm or ranch. ”
After listening to Zhuang Haiyang's introduction to the heirloom farm, Chen Zhijun and the others standing next to him were also confused. In their opinion, what kind of concept is a farm with an investment of nearly 300 million!
But at the same time, they admired the atmosphere of Zhuang Haiyang. Even if a retired elite like Dao Bin can arrange a good job in the local area. But now it seems that it is more interesting to mix with Zhuang Haiyang.
With Daobin's character, if he is assigned to work in the unit, he may not be able to adapt to it. If he gives up his job, he will be more troublesome in the rest of his life. On the other hand, when I go to work in Zhuang Haiyang, the salary is high, not to mention, I can take care of my family.
The most important thing is that if you go to Zhuang Haiyang's side, Dao Bin and his family can find a capable job. With income, are you still afraid that your life will not be good? Thinking of this, many officers are envious!
Although his personality is a little upright, Dao Bin, who is not stupid, also knows that this is a rare opportunity. If he takes over his parents, wife and children in advance, he will be able to integrate into the new working environment as soon as possible after retiring.
At the end of the conversation, Dao Bin also said directly: "Okay, if you want to talk about this, I'll talk to my family about it later." My parents, they are not young, and the homeland is difficult, so I need to ask for their opinions.
As for my wife and children, she would have agreed. Speaking of which, since I got married, I really haven't spent much time with her. If she could go to you, I'm sure she'll be happy. ”
As many people know, a military wife is an admirable status. Most military wives need to endure loneliness that is different from others. If the military merit medal has half of her, it still makes a lot of sense.
Accompanying these comrades-in-arms who still stayed in the army to chat, Zhuang Haiyang and his entourage also had dinner on the reef. As far as the officers and men stationed on the reef were concerned, they were also very happy to see the vegetables sent by the fleet.
Especially when Chen Zhijun learned that the wholesale price of these vegetables was as high as ten yuan per catty, he couldn't help but bared his teeth and said: "We really can't afford to eat such expensive vegetables." It seems that this time, you have broken the bank again. ”
"Without your long-term protection, how can we make money with peace of mind? These vegetables are indeed very expensive to sell to others. If you give it away, how much will it be worth? Old platoon leader, you can accept these dishes with confidence, it's fine!"
This time, the three boats drove out together, and Zhuang Haiyang carried a lot of supplies and supplies. A large part of them will be sent to the various reef garrisons along the way of the fleet, and they will make a free cameo appearance as an amateur supply fleet.
Naturally, the leaders of the old units also greatly appreciated this kind of behavior. Even though the conditions of the troops have improved a lot, for many officers and men stationed on the reef, their lives are still very boring.
And every penny of the troops, many times has to be carefully calculated. Even in recent years, the welfare of the Navy has been greatly improved. But more expenses are used to replace equipment and ships. If you want to provide better conditions for the officers and men stationed on the reef, you should also take it easy.
Now that there are people like Zhuang Haiyang who support the army and are trustworthy to condole, they are naturally happy to see it. If you want to go to the reef for condolences, you also need to go through layers of applications. But Zhuang Haiyang seems to be much freer.
The reason is simple, the entire fleet of ships going to sea, each of which is from the navy. For Zhuang Haiyang's behavior, they are extremely in favor of and supportive. Even if he has retired from the army, he will still not forget his oath to defend the sea.
And this condolences can be regarded as another support from Zhuang Haiyang to the old troops. Every year in the future, he will organize similar events. His current career is going well, and the old army has also given a lot of support!
At least one thing Zhuang Haiyang knows very well that if someone wants to beat him or the company, as long as he speaks, the leaders of the old army will also consider it as appropriate. Once the military intervenes, not everyone can afford the consequences!
