"It is precisely because I am the chief of the fortress that I have to think about this fortress, like your original method, not only is the fortress getting poorer and poorer, but even the equipment and personnel cannot be in place, talk about fighting smuggling and protecting the border!" Liu Yi also said loudly.

"You...... You're a complete profiteer! Ye Na said angrily.

"If I were a profiteer, you would be a mediocre official who did nothing!" Liu Yi said without flinching.

Ye Na couldn't say anything about Liu Yi, she was so angry that her chest fell together, her eyes were like light bulbs, and her upper and lower lips kept trembling.

Liu Yi sneered: "Don't forget your responsibilities with this fortress, the empire asked you to manage this fortress in order to stop smuggling, think about it yourself, can your original method of reaching out and waiting for money work?" If it had worked, would it still be the way it is today? ”

Ye Na snorted coldly, turned around and left, and listened to "Bang!" There was a loud bang, and the office door was slammed shut.

Seeing Ye Na leave in a bad mood, Liu Yi couldn't help but shake his head and sighed softly: "This person ...... When will I wake up? ”

Due to Liu Yi's order, the soldiers in charge of the inspection began to grind foreign workers, and they didn't know what they were doing one by one, making the shipowner so anxious that he didn't dare to complain.

The ships in front of them were not inspected, and the ships behind could only wait in line, and in the blink of an eye, several hours passed, and the ships waiting for inspection in the airport gradually lined up.

The ships in the back of the queue lost patience and sent people to inquire what was going on, the inspection had never been delayed for so long in the past, what was going on today?

Upon inquiry, it was said that the inspection of a ship had not progressed for a long time, and the soldiers did not know what they were doing, as if they were deliberately delaying time.

So everyone came to the owner of the ship and asked him what was the matter, why had it taken so long to finish the inspection?

"You ask me, I don't know, I've been checking for hours, I'm more anxious than you!" The owner of the ship said helplessly.

Others asked, "Have you offended the soldiers?" Otherwise, how could it be checked for so long, if there was really a problem, you would have been arrested a long time ago. ”

After everyone said this, the owner of the ship also felt that something was unusual, and he recalled it carefully, and did not feel that he had done anything wrong.

"I didn't offend them! I've paid all the money I have due, but I haven't repaired the ship here. The owner of the ship said with an innocent face.

These people were all traders who traveled from place to place, and all of them were better than monkeys, and as soon as they heard the answer of the shipowner, some people immediately understood what was going on.

I heard someone say, "You fool, you refuse to repair ships here, of course people will embarrass you, don't you understand?" ”

"Like, aren't you stupid? They just want you to fix it here, and you refuse to agree, this is deliberately fixing you. ”

Hearing what everyone said, the ship's owner also understood, and immediately said angrily: "This is ...... Isn't that bullying? The more they want me to fix it here, the more I won't fix it here, to see how long they can delay? ”

When the merchants heard this, they immediately became anxious, and said one after another: "You don't want to be your business, but what you are delaying now is our time, and we don't have time to spend here with you!" ”

"Then I can't help it, it's not that I won't leave, it's the army here that won't let me go!"

"You just fix it, and then hurry up, isn't it just a few dollars? It's like paying the toll......"

A crowd of people surrounded the shipowner and quarreled non-stop, and finally the shipowner could not resist the pressure of the crowd, so he could only compromise and agree to repair his merchant ship here.

Liu Yi was writing materials, and suddenly the officer on duty on the video call reported to him: "Report to the sir, the owner of the ship has promised to repair his ship here." ”

"Very good, let him go when it's fixed. You can go check out the other boats. Liu Yi nodded and said.

"Understood!"

Liu Yi immediately connected the video call of the repair staff and said to the foreman: "Have you started repairing?" ”

"I just entered the inspection, and there are a few minor problems, which can be fixed soon." The foreman replied.

"Fix it for him, and only charge him half of the cost after repairing." Liu Yi commanded.

"Huh! We're going to have to pay for it! The foreman said in surprise.

Liu Yi said with a smile: "The first business should be an advertisement, let them know that the price of our repair here is cheap, and more ships will come here for repair in the future." ”

"Okay, just do as the chief says."

Soon a few minor problems with the ship were fixed, and the foreman said to the owner: "It has been repaired for you, this is the bill, it has been sent to you." ”

The owner turned on his pen computer and saw that the price was much lower than he had imagined, and even repairs could not have been so cheap elsewhere.

The owner of the ship thought that he would definitely be slaughtered today, after all, it was almost semi-forced to let him repair the ship here, and the price must not be low.

However, the number on the bill was so low that he couldn't believe it, for fear that there was another trick behind it.

I said...... This bill ......"

"What happened to the bill?" The repair foreman asked.

"The numbers for this bill...... Is there a mistake? The owner asked humbly.

The foreman glanced at the numbers on the bill and replied, "That's it, that's it." Is there anything you don't understand? ”

"Are the numbers right?" The shipowner asked again.

"That's right, this is it."

"Okay, I'll pay right away." The owner of the ship quickly paid the bill, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that I have earned it today, it is much cheaper than other places, it seems that it can be repaired here in the future, and I can save a lot of money......

The repaired ship quickly left the airport and continued to move towards the vast deep sky.

The merchant ships in the back had already understood the routine of the defenders of the fortress, and knew that they would not be able to leave without repairing here, so instead of waiting for the repairers to ask, it was better to take the initiative themselves, which would save time.

"Could you please overhaul it for me and see if there is anything wrong with my ship?" The owners of the ships who are very good have taken the initiative to ask.

"Okay, I'll overhaul it for you right away." The repair foreman replied with a smile on his face.

These merchant ships have been sailing around for many years, and there will be some faults that will be detected quickly. Repair crews start repairing problems as soon as they see them, much faster than the big repair shops.

If the ship is sent to the big factory for repair, not to mention the high price, it will take at least ten days and a half months to leave the factory, but in the White Rock Fortress, almost all of them are repaired on the spot, and they can leave as soon as the repair is completed.

The owners of the boats saw that the problems of the boats were eliminated, and the repair costs were so cheap, that they all felt that it was a good choice to repair the boats here.

One ship after another left the airport after being repaired, and the people in the back of the queue saw that the ships were constantly leaving, so they were not so anxious, so they all lined up peacefully and waited for inspection.

"You can go, there is no problem with the boat." The repair foreman said to one of the shipowners.

The owner of the ship asked in disbelief: "Is there really no problem?" It's true...... Can you go? ”

"No problem, of course you can go, do you still want to be stuck here?" The foreman asked curiously.

"Okay, okay, we'll ...... right away Let's go! The owner of the ship couldn't help but say excitedly.

Previously, some ship owners were worried that their ships would be slaughtered if there was nothing wrong with them?

However, the facts tell them that the repair personnel here will not do such bastard things, they will fix problems if they have problems, and they can leave at any time if there is no problem, as long as they can pass the inspection of the army.

In this way, the repair business of the White Rock Fortress is carried out little by little, although there are not many ships that enter the airport every day for inspection, and about half of them can earn repair fees, but this is finally a good start, and the fortress finally has a business that can make money.

Repairs bring income, and those who were previously skeptical of this business also obediently shut their mouths, after all, they can't get along with anyone, and they can't get along with money.

Liu Yi looked at the financial statements of the first month of the repair business, and was very happy, although the money is not a lot, but it can also improve the living conditions of the soldiers in the fortress, and they have a hard time all day haha, who can stay here and serve with peace of mind.

"This money is allocated to your logistics department, to find a way to improve the lives of soldiers and officers, so that everyone can live a better life." Liu Yi called the logistics supervisor and transferred part of the repair income to the logistics department's account in person.

When the logistics chief saw that the chief was the first to think of the logistics department, he was inevitably a little excited, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, I will definitely find a way to improve everyone's living standards, and the next time there is a ship trafficking food, I will strive to buy more food so that everyone can eat better." ”

"You can arrange how you want to spend it, as long as you don't spend money in vain." Liu Yi instructed.

"No, no, I buy from familiar regular merchants, and I don't buy things that are indiscriminate."

Hearing this, Liu Yi's mind suddenly moved, and he asked, "Will the price of purchasing from these merchants be much higher than the place of origin?" ”

When the logistics director saw Liu Yi asking, he thought he had said something wrong, and immediately explained: "This...... It can't be said that Gao will definitely be higher than the place of origin, but if you take into account the cost of transportation, it is still cheaper to purchase from a merchant ship than if we go directly to the place of origin, after all, we can't buy a full ship of goods every time......"

Liu Yi nodded slightly while listening to the logistics director's explanation, but his mind was thinking about whether the fortress could also carry out some trade, so as to meet the needs of the fortress and make some profits from it.

After the logistics supervisor finished speaking, Liu Yi suddenly asked: "Where do these merchant ships that transport food and daily necessities usually procure, and then where do they transport them?" "Read the latest chapter of the "Xinghan Imperial Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
