Chapter 498: The Ship Has Arrived
A bag of 12.5 kilograms of gold does not seem to be particularly heavy, but in fact, because of its weight, it will make people feel like they are falling straight down!
The 5 people kept working together to lay them in several boxes, and it didn't take long for them to be tired enough, and they all felt like they could compare to ten kilometers of armed off-road!
25 pounds at a time, is it tiring?
It will tire people to death!
Zhang Nan knows that in the underground vault of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York, USA, the bulk gold transaction is actually to move gold from this room to that room, relying on manpower, which can make the people who work tired and sick!
Not to mention gold, in the Materials Bureau, there was one job that was the most tiring: weighing large quantities of pig iron. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When my little cousin Zhang Zhou just graduated, because he didn't arrange a job for the time being, his brother-in-law introduced him to the Materials Bureau to temporarily do the work of moving pig iron and pounds, and originally wanted to work for ten days and a half to earn some pocket money, and also exercise perseverance: This is the only position in the entire Materials Bureau where the salary of temporary workers is higher than that of regular office workers.
As a result, before the official work was implemented, Zhang Zhou temporarily did the work of moving pig iron for two months, which is simply a miracle!
It's an absolute miracle, even full-time stevedores don't want to do that job, it's too tiring.
Since then, the tenacious name of the small little cousin has become famous in the material system, and Zhang Nan remembers that he will be mentioned for decades.
This job looks simple, but many strong men can't last long, and they all rely on tenacity.
Moving pig iron blocks, not to mention gold ingots, is so evil that it will be dead!
As soon as the guys here heard Cuenca's words, the people on the "assembly line" immediately stopped work temporarily and exchanged positions.
"Damn, I'm tired!"
Karimi also complained, but turned his head to see that the boss was there, and smiled awkwardly.
Zhang Nan also smiled, "I moved pig iron, I understand." ”
Don't mess up with the guys, go up to the lower deck, and the ammunition boxes from the garage are also being transported here.
Gold will be the first to arrive, then platinum, and finally silver.
However, most of the platinum and all the silver coins do not need to go down to the bilge, and the few places on the lower deck can be placed in a lot, and the counterweight and center of gravity are no problem, so it will take a lot of effort to move them up when you can save time.
From nearly seven o'clock in the evening, I was busy until eleven o'clock in one breath, and I took a break for forty minutes.
Daniel prepared a standard supper for everyone: beef rice bowl with broccoli, absolutely full and relayed.
The beer tube that loves to drink is enough, and Randy and Linman, who have quit drinking, drink juice.
It only took ten minutes to eat, and a group of people ate in the car and on the sofa in the living room of the yacht for half an hour, and continued to work.
They were busy until 5 o'clock the next day, when all the goods were safely loaded and placed on the ship, and they were not in a hurry to return to the camp, and they each found a place to sleep on the ship for three or four hours.
Zhang Nan also helped move for a few hours, which would be as tired as a dead dog.
Super luxury yacht, each room, extra bed, sofa to sleep dozens of people without pressure.
At 2 p.m. today, the Sunshine Star will leave the Philippines and return to the United States, but the dock will not be returned: the two-sided pier deep into the Gulf will be rented for a long time.
Before ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Nan was woken up by Xiang Weirong.
"Our cargo ship is coming. ”
As soon as he heard his brother-in-law's words, Zhang Nan got up and washed up indiscriminately before arriving on the back deck.
Half of the hull of a cargo ship about 120 meters long is already approaching the pier on the other side, where yacht sailors who are guest attendants are fixing thick cables.
The dark blue hull is almost black, because in addition to the empty fuel tank, the freighter also reveals the red anti-rust paint of the hull below the waterline when it is fully loaded.
It can't be said that it is big, and it can't be compared with those 100,000-ton ships, but in Zhang Nan's eyes, this is definitely not small, at least several levels larger than his own yacht!
But the price is ...... A second-hand 8,200-ton multi-purpose ship can be thrown away by its own world's top 1,000-ton superyacht for centuries.
There is no comparison.
Captain Philip was also observing the ship on the back deck, and when he saw the boss coming out, he said: "In 2010, the little devil Mitsubishi Heavy Industries built it in the shipyard in Kobe, with a maximum reference load of 8,200 tons, 2,587 net tons, a total length of 123.5 meters, a beam of 21 meters, a depth of 9.8 meters, a full load draft of 7.2 meters, an unlimited navigation area, an economic speed of 13 knots, and a crew of 18 people.
Although the draft is relatively large when fully loaded, the water depth is more than 7 meters 40 meters behind the pier of Safiradura Island, and the first half also has a safe draft of 6.5 meters.
As long as it's not fully loaded, after pumping out some of the ballast water, it's okay to dock at the dock over there.
And this ship is in good condition, the little devil's boat is okay, and the maintenance is good. ”
Philip's suggestion is very good, the guys who went to inspect the ship a few days ago spoke highly of the ship, and the cargo ship itself also has two 35-ton cranes, which are the cranes that come with the ship.
If it weren't for efficiency and 100% safety, the ship would be able to load and unload containers on its own.
A great cargo ship that suits Zhang Nan's needs.
Zhang Nan has never been on an ocean-going cargo ship of this tonnage in his life, so he will have an expression of great interest in going up and taking a look.
No problem, Captain Philip saw that it was still early before the departure time and did not mind accompanying him as a tour guide.
Get down to the dock and get on the boat from the cargo ship ramp, which is a bit high. The taller is the tall shipbuilding, with 5 floors high, lifeboats on the left and right, the top floor is the wheelhouse, and the lower four floors are supposed to be living quarters.
Standing high and looking far away, these cargo ships are like this.
As soon as Zhang Nan went up, the first mate of the "Sunshine Star" and now the captain of the temporary "Big Shark", Jamie Bostwick, had already lined up with a group of crew members to welcome the shipowner and big boss on board for inspection.
"Don't take it so seriously, I'll see what is strange. ”
If the ship was still far full, it would have 25 people, but this time it was 18 crew mates plus a captain who had to drive the ship back.
It's not a big problem, the condition of the boat is okay, at most everyone is a little tired.
At that time, there will be several Zhang Nan's bodyguards on the ship, and these crew members are also carefully selected, and the Americans and the Chinese Navy will all add up to the income of the previous half or several lifetimes.
Everyone knows that there can't be a mistake, otherwise they won't want to live at the ends of the earth.
I saw that the foredeck is a cargo area, the front, middle and rear three cargo compartments, and the upper deck cover is controlled by hydraulic devices. Zhang Nan, who was not interested in engines and warehouses, went to visit the living area.
The group of people who got together originally had all kinds of "goods", no first mate, but there were operators on the frigate.
That buddy was lucky and became the titular first mate for the time being.
The other positions are the same, each with a title for its own duties - but in fact the captain and the sailor are paid the same amount, and who makes the cargo transported by this ship too special.
The position is only for the convenience of navigation management.
