After the global recruitment plan was issued, the number of applicants exceeded 1,000 within two days, which was already screened according to the strict requirements put forward by Liu Wei.

Among them, there are twenty or thirty-year-old veteran sailors, extreme sports professionals, veterans, and high-talent students from marine engineering universities......

The first Antarctic scientific expedition program initiated by the domestic private sector has attracted the attention of all sectors of society.

Li Li of the Propaganda Department printed out the list and sent it to Liu Wei's office.

Liu Wei glanced at it, "There are too many, we have to choose the best of the best, and with Dragon TV, the number of auditions is determined to be about 300."

The last crew I need is thirty places!"

Li Li nodded: "I'll go to screen immediately!"

As soon as Li Li went out, Liu Min hurriedly pushed the door and walked in.

"Boss, someone downstairs is looking for you!" Liu Min informed.

"Downstairs, who's it, why don't you come up?"

Liu Min spread his hands and pouted, unable to answer a single question.

She took the initiative to find out, but they didn't answer, and deliberately kept a sense of mystery, so she couldn't do it, so she could only go upstairs to inform Liu Wei.

So mysterious?

Who is it?

Liu Wei followed Liu Min downstairs.

"Boss! it's her!" Liu Min said, pointing to the woman standing in the garden, and the word "she" was used in a heavy tone.

The woman standing in front of Liu Wei was facing away from him, wearing a small black tight vest on her upper body, a pair of camouflage pants and a pair of high-top black boots on her lower body, her hair was tied into a ponytail, and she was carrying a rucksack on her right shoulder.

It's sassy!

Could it be Susie?

Liu Wei guessed that Susie should have seen the global recruitment plan and came to China, but what about her camera equipment?

The woman suddenly turned around and saw Liu Wei smiling, hooking the sunglasses with the fingers of her right hand, and her eyes were exposed.

"Elena!" Liu Wei said in surprise.

That's right, it's the daughter of an Australian aristocrat who once followed him to the end of the world.

Elena was still as enthusiastic as before, like a little girl, ran in front of Liu Wei and threw herself into his arms.

Raising his head, he asked in a coquettish voice, "Did you miss me?"

"Hmph~" Liu Min stood next to him and snorted, taking a few steps back.

I feel more or less uncomfortable.

After all, she is Aunt Wang's daughter-in-law, but the time is not ripe.

But she didn't want to show jealousy in front of Liu Wei, which disgusted Liu Wei.

So just stay away and pretend you can't see it.

Liu Wei reached out and gently grabbed Elena's arm, slowly pushed it away, and smiled, "Why are you here?"

Elena said excitedly: "I saw your recruitment plan, and I came!"

"Does your father allow it?" asked Liu Wei.

"Shhhh

Most of all, I miss you so much!"

He stretched out his hand again to hug Liu Wei, but Liu Wei supported his shoulders and said solemnly, "Elena, this is not a joke, the trip to Antarctica is very dangerous, if you have three long and two short, I don't know how to explain to Mr. Stockton!"

"I don't need you to explain, I'm an adult!" Elena retorted.

came all the way from Australia, and Liu Wei didn't want to reject her too directly, so that she would return to China sadly.

To put it mildly: "First of all, you must tell your parents about your coming to China, and explain the purpose of your visit, and ask for your parents' opinions."

Secondly, our selection of crew members will go through strict screening, the test is very difficult, whether you can persevere, is still unknown!"

Alina looked at Liu Wei aggrievedly, "Liu, do I also need to be tested? Can't you open a back door for me?"

Liu Wei said bluntly: "It's useless to be coquettish here, I must ensure the safety of every crew member!"

"Oh!", Elena took out the phone, "I'll call Daddy first!"

Liu Wei turned around and said, "Liu Min, you take her to the lounge! ”

"Okay, boss!", Liu Min invited, "Miss Elena, please!"

Just found a way to send Elena, Wang Jun called again.

I'm in trouble!

Something more troublesome than a woman.

Wang Jun said on the phone that Daewoo Shipbuilding Group suddenly changed its mind and the icebreaker was no longer for sale!

Liu Wei looked confused, "What's the matter? I talked with Jin Yuzhong before, the contract has been signed, if we can't receive the ship within the specified time, they will pay us 30 million liquidated damages!"

Wang Jun spoke in a deep tone, "Mr. Liu, 30 million is nothing to them, and I learned from Jin Yuzhong's mouth that this order was issued by the board of directors of Daewoo Group.

Daewoo Shipyard belongs to a subsidiary company of Daewoo Group, and Daewoo Group is not allowed to sell ships to Chinese considering the problem of technology leakage!

You should be able to guess the rest!"

It is clear at a glance that certain politicians in South Korea and the United States have intervened

"!"

Liu Wei couldn't help but scold.

Fuck you tech blockade.

If it weren't for the fact that domestic shipyards don't provide icebreakers for sale, Lao Tzu would still be looking for you to buy them!

Do you really think that you are the only one in the world who can build an icebreaker?

What the hell, in the past few years, how many orders for ocean freighters have been snatched away from China, haven't you forced them to count in your heart?

is also engaged in this old routine of technical blockade!

Liu Wei felt a burst of abuse in his heart.

Wang Jun said: "Mr. Liu, what should I do now? Without an icebreaker, the plan for a trip to Antarctica can only be lost!"

Liu Wei adjusted his mood, and now all the preparations are being carried out in an orderly manner, and the icebreaker must be obtained within the agreed time.

Liu Wei asked: "Is it possible for everyone except Chinese to buy it?"

Wang Jun responded: "The information revealed by Jin Yuzhong is like this!"

"I knew he would do this!", Liu Wei instructed, "You and Jin Yuzhong are going around, I'll find a way!"

"Okay, Mr. Liu!"

Hanging up the phone, Liu Wei wandered around the courtyard below the studio a few times, looking for a remedy.

First of all, the boat must be bought.

Except for the Daewoo, there is no suitable ship, and the Russian nuclear-powered icebreaker is not something that an ordinary private enterprise can afford.

Since it is not sold to the Chinese, can it be taken by borrowing the hands of foreigners?

It may be an expensive intermediary fee, but Daewoo's 30 million liquidated damages must be paid, and the contract is written in black and white.

That's the only way to try!

After Liu Wei thought of a remedy, he immediately remembered Elena.

Go upstairs and walk into the lounge with a smile.

"Dad! Liu is next to me!" Elena got up and handed the phone to Liu Wei, "My dad wants to talk to you!"

Liu Wei adjusted his mood and took the phone, "Hello, Mr. Stockton, how are you doing?"

"Thank you for your concern, Liu!", Stockton instructed on the phone, "Liu, I already know about Elena's trip to China, and she told you about your great plan, vomit~, great, that's really a great plan."

I know very well my daughter's character, what she decides, ten cows can't pull back, so I hope, Liu, you can help me take good care of her!

If there's anything you need, you can let me know! I think I should be able to help you get it done!"
