"Hello, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Pan is waiting for you in the office."

The size of the Singapore Navy is already small, and it is divided into three areas, and although Branney Island is still the main base, it is much smaller than the domestic base.

When I was training in the East Bay, it was only a training base for the navy, but it also covered an area of several square kilometers and had a population of several thousand.

But on Blarney Island, all the people combined, are only in their early 2,000s. Most of these people are still on the ship, or in various bases, and the whole island seems to be sparsely populated.

The building of the Navy Headquarters also looked unremarkable, but after the relocation of the naval base to the airport, a police training center was built on the site, and it looked like that.

Under the leadership of the guards, Zhou You came to Pan Li's office, as soon as Zhou You entered the door, Pan Li greeted him from behind his desk, and said with a smile: "Welcome, Mr. Zhou, you are still coming to my office for the first time, what a rare guest!" ”

"Please also ask Chief Pan to forgive me, I am young and ignorant, and I occupy a position in the navy, but I didn't think to say hello to you, the master, it's mine. I'm young, so it's good for Mr. Pan to call me Evan. ”

"Alright, I'll call you Evan. I'm not a bandit or robber, and I want you to come to worship the mountain, mainly because I think that we are also neighbors, and we still have to communicate more in the future. ”

The two of them sat down on the sofa in the office, and Pan Li took out a Marlboro cigarette and ordered, "Two cups of coffee." ”

Although Zhou You didn't like the taste of American cigarettes, he still took the cigarette and helped Pan Li light it. "Our company was able to return to Indonesia smoothly this time, thanks to the blessing of the navy, otherwise, with Indonesia's temperament, I don't know what kind of demon moths will come out. I also calculated in my heart that when this harvest is successfully delivered, I will also give a certain percentage of my income to support the country's naval construction. ”

Pan Li laughed and said, "We are happy that you have this idea." But the Navy is definitely not an enterprise, and everything it does requires returns, you have to understand this. ”

This is not only to make a watch but also to set up a memorial arch, Zhou You also smiled brightly: "Of course, if you really want to calculate it, you can't ask for the help of the army no matter how much you spend, and I just show a little bit of heart to support the country's national defense construction." ”

After a few words of greeting, the two sides seemed to have narrowed the distance, and Zhou You said: "Chief Pan, our Nanyang Commercial Salvage Company has just been established, and there is still a big gap in both the company structure and staffing. Now that the company has these gains in Indonesia, the improvement of the company has to be put on its agenda, so in many aspects, it needs the support of the government, and even more importantly, the support of the navy......"

He deliberately asked, "Is there any difficulty?" ”

"At present, it is mainly a problem of manpower, and more than 60,000 pieces of ancient porcelain have been salvaged this time, and the storage needs to be a large warehouse, and safety protection is the top priority. I still have a few brothers in the mainland, and I am going to call them over and use them as a skeleton to build the company's security team. However, since they are all in the mainland, it is difficult to apply for work visas, so I would like to ask Mr. Pan for a favor......"

Pan Li said with a smile: "When you talk about this, I also have something I want to ask for Evan." ”

"Chief Pan, please speak. As long as I can, I try to be satisfied. ”

He pondered for a moment in embarrassment before he said, "I know that the people you brought from the mainland must be people you can trust, and they may be like you, with special skills. But you also know that like this, we Navy actually have some ......"

"What does Chief Pan mean...... Want to introduce me to some employees too? ”

"What do you think?"

Zhou You has long thought of this, and the Navy also has a part of the retired personnel every year, although the employment rate in Singapore is relatively high, but the corresponding job is not so easy to arrange.

They are now stuck with Cai Zhongwei's work visa, just to see that Zhou You is recruiting, and these jobs are perfect for retired soldiers.

After pondering for a while, Zhou You said straight to the point: "I can agree to Chief Pan's request, but I have two requests. ”

He nodded. "Please."

"I can offer a part of the job and pay more than the average salary in Singapore, but I need a Navy guarantee for every person to make sure he won't be a spy on either side. As you know, my company currently protects valuable antiques, and if you encounter security guards guarding and stealing them, it will be impossible to prevent them. ”

Pan Li hurriedly said: "I can't guarantee this, because people's thoughts are changing at any time, even if the other party is loyal now, but in the face of temptation, who knows if he will change his mind!" If the navy is a guarantee, it will be carrying a heavy burden on itself, and it will never be able to get out. Personally, I believe that the purity of these security personnel depends mainly on strict and reasonable management. What do you think? ”

Zhou You laughed and said, "Indeed, this is difficult for some strong people. Therefore, in order to strictly implement the security work in the future, my security team must not all be retired officers and soldiers of the Navy, otherwise, it will be very difficult for management, because they are not my own people. My idea is that with my people as the skeleton and yours as flesh and blood, the team can be trusted. I don't need too many people, at least a management team! ”

Pan Li thought for a while, did not express an opinion, and asked again: "What about the second condition?" ”

"Although Captain Lin Jiapei is indeed working well now, I hope to change the management team on the ship, after all, they are still active soldiers, and under my hands, I have a certain degree of difficulty in management. I can allow the Navy to conduct any exercises on my ship, which already represents my sincerity. I still hope that it belongs to my crew and that the management is mine. ”

He took a sip of coffee and said, "It's a reasonable request, in fact, the people assigned to you this time, they are also about to retire, I will ask for their opinions, and then give you an answer." ”

Lin Jiapei and them, Zhou You are relatively easy to use now. They are also familiar with the Ranger, and after this period of sailing, they are also proficient in the various instruments on the Ranger, and if they change people, they will be familiar with it again. If they go through the decommissioning procedures and break the relationship with the navy, then of course Zhou You is still willing to use them.

He asked, "How big of a team are you going to form in terms of the security team?" ”

Zhou You thought for a while and said: "It is initially expected that there will be 24 people, and four of them will be arranged by me, and then 20 retired soldiers can be recruited." ”

Pan Li laughed and said, "Okay, then the work visas for the four of you will be wrapped around me." ”

When the conditions are negotiated, the atmosphere between the two people will be better. Zhou You asked: "As far as I know, the Navy has built a new naval base at Changi Airport, and Blarney Island will be converted into a new commercial terminal, I don't know, what is the future plan here?" ”

In fact, Zhou You knows better than him what has changed here, but it is impossible for him to say what has not happened. Could he have said directly that Blenney Island would be turned into a commercial container terminal on three sides in the future? Can he say that this place in the south of the island will still be a small base of the navy in the future? Can he say that the building they are staying in will be demolished and a police training centre rebuilt?

Of course not.

After three sides of this place became a commercial dock, but to the south it was still a naval base, and Zhou You wanted to take this opportunity to buy the location he is currently using here, so that he would never have to worry about changing places in the future.

This is an island, and there is only one way out of the island, so if you put the company base here, the safety is absolutely guaranteed. Even if someone came to attack the idea of his collection, he didn't believe anyone would actually get it.

If he were given a piece of land in the city of Singapore and a piece of land on the island, he would definitely choose to be on the island. Here, the concealment and security are much stronger than in the urban area.

Pan Li laughed, and he also understood the meaning of Zhou You. But he said, "It is not my business to do now, but I may introduce you to a gentleman, and your request will be answered satisfactorily by him." ”

"Who's ......"

He said a name and let Zhou Youleng stay there. This name is not only thunderous for Zhou You, but also has a certain influence even in the entire Chinese world.

Zhou You knew that once he arrived in Singapore, he would definitely have a relationship with him, but he didn't expect that he would be noticed by him now.

In the past, Zhou You had already met the tall head of Singapore, but everyone knew that he was just a transitional figure. After the old head stepped down, the young head had not yet matured, so he let the tall one act as the head of the house, but four years later, the young head took charge of Singapore.

He is also the Chairman of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, which oversees the world's most secretive sovereign fund. At the same time, he has a huge influence on Temasek, a world-famous investment fund, because his wife is the head of Temasek.

Although Zhou You doesn't care about him very much, to a certain extent, he can't compare with the other party at all, and he is not a person of the same grade.

Zhou Yu has always avoided getting involved in political issues, but when he develops, these are not things that he can avoid if he wants to.

However, he now has another advantage, and that is his youth. Now that he is young, he can avoid politics at his age, and when he grows up and becomes the richest man in Singapore, or the richest man in Asia, no one will be able to force him.

For this reason, Zhou You is not afraid to meet him. (To be continued.) )
