Chapter 191 Island Base Concept
Although among the many shipyards in the country, the reputation of the Donghai shipyard is not great. But the salvage ship built for Xu Haibao this time is also the only commercial ship close to hundreds of millions of yuan since the establishment of Donghai Shipyard.
Even in the past six months, the employees of the shipyard have felt very hard. But looking at this salvage ship that has passed through the seabed and can be delivered today, the staff of the shipyard feel very proud, and they can also build such an expensive ship.
Although the displacement of this salvage ship is less than 5,000 tons, its mass is almost no different from that of domestic warships. With the experience of building this ship, perhaps in the future, the shipyard will also have the opportunity to receive orders for warships from the Navy.
Even if we can't receive orders for 10,000-ton warships, many domestic missile frigates with excellent performance will have a tonnage similar to this salvage ship. To some extent, building such a ship is not a testament to the strength of the shipyard.
What's more, many veteran employees of the shipyard know that their general manager and many department leaders were from various departments of the Navy earlier. This also means that as long as they get permission from the navy, they may have the opportunity to receive military orders.
Once there is such an opportunity, it means that Donghai Shipyard will have the opportunity to truly become a first-class large-scale shipyard in China. This is naturally something that many shipyard employees are looking forward to.
As Xu Haibao and his entourage arrived at the shipyard, the long-prepared delivery ceremony soon began. As a shipyard, Du Yuexin naturally had to give a speech on behalf of the shipyard. Xu Haibao sat down with several leaders and listened quietly.
And sitting next to Xu Haibao at this moment, there are naturally leaders from the East China Sea. Taking this opportunity, the leader also said in a timely manner: "Mr. Xu, I heard that your company plans to invest in Qiongya?
In the face of the leader's inquiry, Xu Haibao also smiled and said: "It seems that the news of investment in China has spread very quickly! I am not too responsible for the investment in Qiongya, and the managers of the company are responsible for it."
As a native of the East China Sea, I will never forget to support the economic construction and development of my hometown. It's just that as far as the current situation is concerned, the company has invested a lot of money in Baohai. And in the next step, we will have funds to invest.
However, if there are new investments, we will also give priority to the East China Sea. Moreover, the investment side is the responsibility of the company's management team. Personally, I'm not really good at it. ”
In order to order the salvage ship before, Xu Haibao also had a lot of contact with leaders from all over the world. On occasions like today, it is normal for a leader to talk to him to attract investment.
Seeing that Xu Haibao refused to invest in new projects, but said that he would continue to increase investment in Fulin Island in the future, the leader no longer demanded too much. In the final analysis, today's Xu Haibao is no longer as simple as a rich investor.
Just as Xu Haibao was talking to these leaders, Du Yuexin on the stage also finished his speech. What is a little unexpected is that the next person to speak on behalf of the salvage company is not Xu Haibao, who everyone expects.
In fact, since the establishment of the salvage company, the position of the CEO of the salvage company has been held by Xu Haibao. But the person in charge of the external world, Xu Haibao appointed it to Tang Xingyou. So much so that the person who came to the stage to deliver a speech on behalf of the company became Tang Xingyou.
Although Tang Xingyou doesn't like to show his head very much, he somewhat knows that this is Xu Haibao's trust in him. As the person in charge of the salvage company on the surface, Tang Xingyou's existence can also divert a lot of attention for Xu Haibao.
Compared with Du Yuexin's long speech, Tang Xingyou's speech was very brief. He said some good things about Donghai Shipyard, and also expressed his hope that there would be a chance to cooperate with the shipyard next time. After saying this, Tang Xingyou walked down from the stage.
After the heads of the two partners finished their speeches, Du Yuexin, who was sitting in the audience, also smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, all the leaders are very eager to see the ship built by our two parties. Now, don't you ask the leaders to go up and have a look!"
"Of course, you can! Leaders, please!"
Although Xu Haibao doesn't like others to look at his customized salvage boats, in such an environment, he is afraid that it will be too small to let these leaders board the ship to visit. What's more, salvage ships are not a military secret.
Moreover, Tang Xingyou, who had previously taken over the salvage ship, had been instructed by Xu Haibao to lock all the relatively confidential rooms. Places that are not easy for outsiders to know will be listed as forbidden places to visit.
After accompanying the group to visit the ship, everyone felt that building such a salvage ship was indeed a bit extravagant. There was even a leader who said very directly: "Mr. Xu, after the salvage ship is delivered, will your company carry out the salvage task in China?"
In response to such an inquiry, Xu Haibao said with a smile: "My salvage ship is specially designed to salvage ocean shipwrecks. The current domestic policy is not very clear, and there should not be many opportunities to come to the country for salvage. ”
There are many types of marine salvage vessels, some are specially designed and built for salvaging wrecks, and some are designed for rescue. Salvage ships like Xu Haibao, which are specially customized for treasure exploration, are really rare in China.
"Do you specialize in salvaging shipwrecks? Will foreign countries allow your private salvage ships to engage in shipwreck salvage?"
"It's still okay to have a high seas area! If it's an economic water, you still need to get permission from all countries. In fact, I just love adventure and diving, and I want to customize this salvage boat, but I also want to have more opportunities to go to sea.
I believe that all leaders should have heard that at present, all countries around the South China Sea are cooperating with foreign salvage companies to engage in shipwreck salvage in the high seas waters of the South China Sea. Some foreign salvage ships will even steal and salvage sunken ships.
As a retired soldier from the former Navy, I felt the need to compete with foreign salvage companies. If you can get something, that's a good thing. If you don't get it, you can also fulfill one of your adventure dreams!"
Regarding the salvage of the sunken ship, Xu Haibao also knew that he couldn't hide it from too many people. The salvage ship he customized was itself specially designed for going out to sea to salvage shipwrecks on the seabed. As long as the salvage ship goes to sea, it will also attract some people's attention.
It's just that when he really enters the waters of the open sea, Xu Haibao believes that there will be no one who will send people to stare at him every day. If you really salvage the treasure of the sunken ship on the high seas, as long as it is safely transported back to China, others will not be able to say anything even if they know about it.
As for stealing the treasure of the sunken ship, Xu Haibao didn't think about doing it for the time being. Of course, Xu Haibao still plans to salvage several sunken ships that he knew in foreign waters in his previous life. However, in terms of operation, you need to be more cautious.
After chatting with these leaders, Xu Haibao, who was about to leave, also shook hands with Du Yuexin and said, "Mr. Du, I won't eat today's meal." When you get to my resort tomorrow, let's have another drink. ”
I've always heard that Mr. Xu has a good amount of wine without getting drunk, and he really needs to drink a few glasses tomorrow!"
Regarding the opening of the resort, Du Yuexin naturally received an invitation from Xu Haibao. In fact, today the salvage ship was delivered, and some really weighty people did not appear. On the other hand, tomorrow's resort opening, I am afraid that there will be more big shots.
When he came, he came by yacht, but when he returned, he returned by salvage boat. Looking at the Ruoda salvage boat, Xu Haibao's parents also asked: "Baowa, now that the ship is built, when do you plan to go to sea?"
"Dad, don't worry about this for the time being! A few years ago, we would have gone to the South China Sea. In fact, if you want to salvage a shipwreck, you need to try your luck. If you're lucky, you'll be back in a few days.
If we don't get anything to gain, we may be at sea for a long time. However, don't worry, as long as there are no accidents, I will go home to accompany you. It's useless to rely on hard work in our business!"
It is clear that his parents are worried that he will take people out to sea, and it will take a long time to leave, and his parents will definitely worry about his safety. But for Xu Haibao, his future will not be in his hometown, but definitely on the ocean.
When the resort is opened, Xu Haibao will lead the salvage team to enter the high seas abroad. Even the shipwreck treasure salvaged for the first time, Xu Haibao already has some eyebrows. Specifically, we have to carry out a more detailed search when we get to the place.
If he confirms for the first time that the salvaged shipwreck treasure can really be found, Xu Haibao believes that this harvest should shock the world. The most important thing is that the shipwreck treasure he wants to salvage will also shock the domestic high-level.
The intelligence collection team dispatched earlier has been collecting clues there for nearly two months. Even some time ago, Xu Haibao went there as a tourist to inquire about the situation in person. There are already some eyebrows for suspicious locations.
Of course, Xu Haibao will definitely not tell his parents about these things. Anything about the treasure of the shipwreck, once it spreads out in advance, will inevitably attract the surveillance of many forces. It is quite possible to even attract the attention of some neighboring countries.
With the salvage boat safely docked at the ferry terminal in Dongling Town, looking at this brand-new ship, Xu Haibao and his entourage, who got off the boat, quickly changed to a yacht and returned to Washan Island, ready to prepare for the opening of the resort tomorrow.
As for the place where the salvage ship will rest and dock in the future, it should not be placed here, nor will it be placed on the side of the Xiangjiang River. At present, another island investment project that Baoya Company is talking about with China is Xu Haibao's decision to build a salvage company's base.
As long as the first salvage is successful, Xu Haibao will also increase the order and manpower of the salvage ship. In a sense, the island invested in Qiongya in the future will become the island base of the salvage company.
Coupled with the elites recruited from various naval bases, Xu Haibao's island base is believed to have become a bit of a military stronghold. As for the assumption in this regard, the above is also under consideration in many ways.
But for Xu Haibao, if some people above feel that it is not safe, then Xu Haibao will also choose to buy islands abroad as a supply base for salvage companies overseas. It's just that in that case, the money to build the base will go abroad!
