Chapter 13: Whitewashing and Going Ashore
Gao Jianxiong chatted with Gu Kun late and talked very carefully.
Gu Pan and Chen Li were more careful, afraid that staying up late would not be conducive to the healing of the knife wound, so they repeatedly persuaded Gu Kun to rest early.
Chen Li persuaded: "Captain, if you really want to help these comrades, it's a big deal to pick up some goods every time you pass by in the future, and you won't lose money, and you don't have to count so carefully." Your wound hasn't healed yet, so it's better to rest early. β
Gu Kun waved his hand: "You guys are and thin mud." Zigong ransom people, and they should receive their value. The reason why the master said this is because if Zigong did a righteous act to serve the country but did not accept the reward, then in the future, the people of Lu would no longer help their compatriots in foreign countries.
How much power can I have in one person and in one boat. Passing by occasionally, it's just a drop in the bucket. If we can summarize a business model of two pities for each family and the country, so that this thing can continue to develop, replicate and grow, it will be a great merit. β
Sailors and fighters have not read much, and they do not understand any big truths.
It is estimated that I have heard Ma Sheng's quote that "when the market generates a demand, it can promote the progress of science and technology more than ten universities".
They just plainly felt that Gu Kun was so awesome when he spoke, and when he heard it, he was a person who did big things, and they believed him right.
is like those uneducated people on Douyin, who can only keep lying in their hearts, lamenting their lack of vocabulary.
"Comrade Xiao Gu, what you say is so reasonable. Gao Jianxiong said reverently, "Then do you think of a way out?"
Gu Kun: "It's okay - in fact, the model is about to come out." Fishermen sailing from eastern Guangdong and Hailan are really not cost-effective to come here. But for us fishermen from Lan Fong, we have caught enough Borneo specialties off the coast of Malaysia to sell them in eastern Guangdong, and this business model would have been passing by the Wisha Islands every month.
Set sail with a few tonnes of load on hand and some fresh supplies that are in short supply, and it won't add much cost. As long as the garrison unit on the island is willing to give us some freight according to the profit of transporting fish, so that we can make a small profit, this business can continue for a long time. β
Gao Jianxiong was a little confused: "Isn't that Chen ...... just now Is this comrade the way to do it?"
Gu Kun: "That's different, what she said is a temporary measure based on interest, and I plan to operate it as a long-term business." I don't have enough boats, and I won't keep running here.
So to solve the stability problem, there are only two ways. The first is that I went to Guangdong to make a lot of money this time, and after I went back to Lanfang, I told my relatives and friends about the business opportunities, told them that this route was profitable, and let them do it together.
Otherwise, you can count on me to make a quick fortune, and when the time comes, I will become a big shipowner, and I will buy several boats under my name, and I will run the fleet myself, and then I will not need to rely on external forcesβI estimate that as long as there are three or four fishing boats that do the business of this route all the year round, and the route is well planned, it will be saturated. But then I'll have to get some fishing licenses in the South China Sea to be justified, so I'll figure it out slowly. β
Gu Kun said, and covered the blanket, indicating that he was going to sleep. He knew that it was useless to talk to these big-headed soldiers in detail, and he still had to think long-term.
The other fighters followed Long Wu and them back to the boat, and Ko Chien-shiung and Ma Jiahui spread a straw mat on the ground.
Gao Jianxiong wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and said before he fell asleep: "Comrade Xiao Gu, next time you go to Yuezhou, if you stop by, you can 'inadvertently' pass by Yonglin Island, and sell them some supplies by the way."
There's our battalion commander stationed there, and some of the Hai Lan dispatch agencies, who may have the power to approve fishing licenses if they're sure you're friendly and meet the conditions.
This thing is actually not very valuable, foreign ships are willing to admit it, it is also an affirmation of our maritime law enforcement rights, the price will not be too great, I won't say much else, you have a good rest. β
In the 90s, China's navy was still relatively weak compared to later generations.
Although there is no doubt about it legally, Shosha has little actual control, and Wisha is sometimes harassed by the Vietnamese.
Therefore, in the waters of the Shaosha Islands, basically anyone can fish, and no one cares. As for Wisha, as long as you are a friendly country, have no other requirements, and are willing to help with something, then it is not difficult to get permission if you just catch a fish.
However, if Gu Kun wants to operate this matter as a long-term and stable business, he must ensure that the procedures are complete.
It's like if someone else can't catch Captain Drake, he still needs a privateer license.
......
Gu Kun rested all night, and the next day he lay down until near noon before returning to the ship - the reason why he had to go back to the ship was because there was electricity on the ship, and the fan could be turned on for ventilation, and the cabin on the island was so hot that it was close to noon.
Before the wound has completely healed, sweating must be minimized to facilitate recovery and fight infection.
After a night and a morning of venting, the wind was also reduced to level four. It is estimated that the center of the tropical depression has blown to the north.
Gao Jianxiong and the others waved goodbye to Gu Kun and watched their ship go away.
Before leaving, Xu Hu, who was about to end his compulsory service, half-jokingly said to Gu Kun that if he had nowhere to go in the future, he would come to Gu Kun, and patted his chest and promised that he was good at water and would also drive a boat.
Of course, a few other people wouldn't say this, but Gu Kun could see that they also had the idea of finding a way out. After all, if you can't be promoted to an officer, you can't be a soldier for a lifetime, and you will definitely have to find a way back when you reach the end of the year.
As Ganquan Island disappeared over the horizon, Gu Kun's boat also sailed out for about 10 nautical miles.
Long Wu cautiously confirmed with Gu Kun: "Captain, our current course is north-northwest. If you keep this course, you will be able to go to the SAR in the evening in three days. β
Gu Kun lay in a hammock with many layers of soft cushions, and ordered: "To the north-west, let's go to Yonglin Island first, it should only be 60 nautical miles." β
Long Wuyi was surprised: "Are you going to listen to Brother Gao's suggestion and get a fishing license?"
Chen Lixin on the side was more careful, so she analyzed it in a settling tone: "But the living supplies on our ship only add up to two or three hundred catties." You don't have the right to do business with them, right? Maybe people won't look at you. Or when you return home, buy a little more in Guangdong, come here to help sell, and find out the news by the way. β
Gu Kun waved his hand weakly: "This matter is about chance and excuses." This time I landed on the island because of appendicitis and had to have my own surgery, and I had enough reasons to thank, send pennants and support the army. The next time I come specifically and put on a posture of doing business on a business-like basis, it will not have this effect. As for things, you don't have to worry. β
Gu Kun went to sea this time and secretly brought the three discarded sonars he fished in the Java Sea last time, just to find a way to ship them in Huaxia.
It's just that when he got on the boat, he kept it strictly secret, and he pushed everything onto the boat with his own hands, and didn't tell Long Wu and Chen Li.
Now, after a few days of training at sea, Gu Kun felt that Long Wu and Chen Li had been completely convinced of him, and they were willing to work with him in the future, so he dared to gradually let these people know about him.
Especially yesterday, he had already suffered an appendicitis attack, but he was still able to use the captain's Jiwei to order Long Wu and Chen Li to let them sail the ship to Ganquan Island, which was also an important test.
Because their trust in the captain's absolute authority was somewhat loosened, the safest way at that time would have been to sail the ship to Da Nang.
The probability of death from appendicitis is not high for a day and a night, but it will definitely be perforated, and it will continue to erode for more than ten hours after perforation, which will delay into serious major surgery.
But the test turned out that they were still intimidated by the captain's authority even when the captain was seriously ill and helpless, which means that these two people can already do some secret things.
After thinking about it, Gu Kun confided: "Actually, the lack of supplies is not a big problem, I have a way to come up with enough chips to make the garrison pay attention to it - last time before the Chinese New Year, when I went to the Java Sea, I actually accidentally dragged a big thing."
At that time, I was so scared that I didn't dare to take it out, and I didn't tell anyone. Later, I learned that it was supposed to be a hydrophone. As fishermen, we should hand over the unknown objects we have caught. The above will also look at the reward, which is in line with the policy - little sister, you take Long Wu to the bilge, and drag up the big bucket lying on the left side of the stern, and the thing is there. β
Gu Kun also stored the three goods separately, so even if he asked Long Wu to get them, he wouldn't find them all.
And as for the details of how he got it, Gu Kun always insisted on keeping it a secret, even for his own sister.
He can let people know that he has made a fortune, but he will never let people know that he has been planning for a long time and is going straight for it, because it involves the secret of rebirth.
What things can be moderately known, and which things can't be said for a lifetime, Gu Kun's heart is clear.
When the subject matter is too big, it should be a real bottle of fake wine, and the truth and falsehood are mixed to achieve the effect of concealment. If it's a fake bottle of wine, it's too a goof.
Long Wu quickly followed Gu Pan to get things out, and when he saw the cylinder that seemed to be very high-tech, his eyes were also full of shock.
"Captain, you are really auspicious, your luck is too good, this thing can be exchanged for tens of thousands of bonuses. Long Wu said enviously.
Oh, I don't have the eyesight to see it.
However, Gu Kun didn't bother to explain, and he didn't want to show that he was very knowledgeable.
It's like when you go to a foot bath shop, if the people in the same company are sighing, "It turns out that the foot bath shop doesn't use a wooden basin to wash your feet now".
Then you'd better be surprised like a worm, "Wow, it's so high-end."
"Yes, yes, it's estimated to be worth tens of thousands. Gu Kunyan was insincere, but his acting skills were compelling.
Two hours later, his fishing boat was near Yonglin Island.
It was the largest island in the Wisha Islands, with a land area of several square kilometres, an entire company stationed there, and even a dozen families of fishermen who lived there.
Of course, Gu Kun didn't have a chance to drive directly to the island, because when he was still a dozen nautical miles away from the island, he was intercepted by a patrol boat.
The radar station on the island had already spotted him.
"What ship, why didn't you report it?"
"We have no malice, we are Lanfang fishing boats, our captain contracted appendicitis at sea yesterday and was rescued by the comrades of Ganquan Island, we are here to thank you and send you some supplies. Gu Kun asked the two women to go up to the deck to shout to increase their own persuasiveness.
His boat was successfully docked on the pontoon trestle under the watchful eye of the patrol boat.
