Chapter Ninety-Five: Old Comrades-in-Arms Arrive
Looking for the company's executive manager, Xu Haibao finally chose to entrust a headhunting company. For Xu Haibao, the company used for island development is more likely to stay behind the scenes, and the executive manager is responsible for everything on the surface.
In the future, what he really needs to be responsible for personally is the shipwreck salvage company that has not yet been registered. For this aspect of manpower recruitment, Xu Haibao will personally select. It will not be easy to accept anyone who is not clear about the details to join the company.
Engaged in the salvage of sunken ships, they often have to go to sea, and if someone really needs to report the news, a boatload of people may suffer because of this. For many violent groups, what they are best at doing is to take the fruits of victory from others.
In many cases, because of the high seas, when someone finds out that something is going on at sea and wants to investigate, they often find nothing. The salvaged shipwreck treasure will also be very difficult to trace.
On the third day of the phone call to Tang Xingyou, Tang Xingyou, who had already handled the pass, soon arrived in Xiangjiang from the land port. Looking at Xu Haibao, who came to pick up the station, Tang Xingyou, who walked out of the station, was also very happy.
Earlier, Xu Haibao almost died in the execution of the mission, and Tang Xingyou also knew about it. In Tang Xingyou's opinion, if it weren't for this incident, it is estimated that Xu Haibao would still be in the army now, and he would not retire so soon.
"I haven't seen you for a while, you kid does look a little different! I can't believe it, your kid is still a big boss!"
"I'm a big boss, I'm a lucky boy at best! Without further ado, I'll take you to the hotel first. The guy in the pillar is booking a ticket for tomorrow, and it is estimated that it will not arrive until tomorrow!"
"Okay, then it's up to you! However, if I can't help you with your business, I'll still go! I know you're kind, but you should know my personality. ”
As Xu Haibao's former squad leader, Tang Xingyou knew that retiring was different from when he was in the army. But he still felt that he couldn't take advantage of Xu Haibao. He has to pay a salary to do something, and he can't just take a salary and not work!
"Understand, my senior squad leader, you can rest assured! In the future, I want you to help me with more ideas! If possible, I will recruit some comrades-in-arms who retired earlier in the later stage, and you will also need you to check for me in this regard. ”
"What do you kid want to do? Is it difficult, recruit us old comrades-in-arms and fight your local tyrants!"
"I just hope that although we have retired, we can still stay and work together, and by the way, we can also make a fortune together! Didn't you ask me earlier, did you come to spend so much money on travel? I'll tell you more about it when I go back to the hotel next time!"
Considering the salvage of the shipwreck, it is really not suitable to talk about it in public. Although Xu Haibao knew that Tang Xingyou, like him when he was in the army earlier, he also thought that this kind of thing was a bit of a sideshow, not breaking the law but committing taboos.
But Xu Haibao believes that during the period of retirement, Tang Xingyou should be able to feel that society is different from the army. As long as he doesn't do anything that endangers national security, Xu Haibao believes that Tang Xingyou will not refuse to join.
Every man has an adventurous heart, and as a member of the navy, their favorite and longing life is to cross the seas. Now that there is such an opportunity, how can they turn it down?
Arriving at the hotel where Xu Haibao was staying, Tang Xingyou was somewhat surprised and said: "Why do you kid live in such a high-end hotel?
"Almost! If I had to say that I was lucky. Picking up a life in the first place is also a blessing in disguise!"
Arriving at the room where he was staying with Tang Xingyou, Xu Haibao knew that the other party had a lot to ask. But Xu Haibao didn't say anything, and sent an invitation card very quickly. Seeing this invitation card, Tang Xingyou was also confused.
After opening it, he found that it was the invitation card of the distinguished customer of the Subi Fu Auction House, and Tang Xingyou also said directly: "Subi Fu Auction House, invite you to participate in the spring auction?
Although he doesn't pay much attention to the news in this regard, Tang Xingyou has heard of the fame of Subifu Auction House. I know that this is a company specializing in the auction of antique cultural relics and artworks, and it is still very famous in Xiangjiang.
Listening to Tang Xingyou's inquiry, Xu Haibao shook his head with a smile and said, "Squad leader, you are only half right, I was invited by this auction house, not to auction things, but I have a few things to participate in this auction."
Didn't you keep asking me what the money was for? Now I can tell you that all my money comes from selling antiques. As for the origin of these antiques, the squad leader must be able to guess some clues, right?"
"You found an ancient shipwreck in the sea?"
"Yes, the squad leader should know that my hometown is also an island fishing village, and there were many merchant ships in the early years. When I returned to the village to recuperate, I stumbled upon a shipwreck and salvaged a lot of things from it.
Although the salvaged shipwreck was not on the high seas, it stands to reason that it should be handed over to the state. But you should know that not many people actually do this. What's more, I wanted to make a career and find a way out for the village, so I thought about selling the antiques for money. ”
Listening to Xu Haibao's words, Tang Xingyou also sighed and said, "You kid really went out of shit luck!"
"Squad leader, aren't you angry?"
"I'm angry! Could it be that in the eyes of your kid, am I so rigid? This kind of thing, the fishermen in my hometown near the sea have not done such things. It's just that most of the things they catch are not too precious. ”
Tang Xingyou, who scolded with a smile, knew that Xu Haibao was worried that he didn't understand this kind of behavior. But in fact, in terms of shipwrecks and cultural relics excavation in China, the management does seem to be a little chaotic.
In many cases, most of the things fishermen catch in the sea do not voluntarily hand over to the state. Regarding Xu Haibao's somewhat cautious expression, Tang Xingyou also knew that the other party respected his character and didn't want him to be too difficult.
But the problem is that Tang Xingyou is not such a mean and rigid person. Even if you have been in the army for many years, there are some habits that cannot be changed. But in terms of handling things, Tang Xingyou, who is nearly thirty years old, cannot be as impulsive as a hairy boy.
Seeing that Tang Xingyou didn't think there was anything wrong, Xu Haibao said in a timely manner: "Squad leader, I brought you and the pillar here this time to find a way to make money for my brothers." You know, it's hard for us to find a good job after we leave the military.
But we still have to make money to support our families, so we always have to find something to do. My idea was that I would pay for a salvage ship at a later stage and specialize in the salvage of wrecks. In this way, as long as we have a harvest, we can make a lot of money.
As far as the current shipwreck salvage industry is concerned, China has just started in this regard, while there are many such companies abroad. Even in the South China Sea, countries are cooperating with foreign salvage companies to frantically salvage ancient shipwrecks.
But the squad leader should know that most of the shipwrecks they salvaged are cultural relics belonging to our country. I mean, other people can do that, why can't we do it ourselves? We're no worse than others when it comes to diving!"
Regarding Xu Haibao's thoughts, Tang Xingyou said with a little hesitation: "The domestic industry of private shipwreck salvage seems to be very strict, right? If you want to register such a company, I'm afraid it's not so easy, right?"
As a former member of the navy, Tang Xingyou didn't pay much attention to this matter, but he knew that most of the current shipwreck salvage industry was state-owned. And many of the members are officers and soldiers who have retired from the Navy earlier.
What Tang Xingyou didn't expect was that Xu Haibao said with a smile: "This is the reason why I came to Xiangjiang, I have registered a company engaged in island development in Xiangjiang, and at the same time applied to immigrate to Xiangjiang."
It is very difficult to register such a company in China, but it is not difficult to register in Xiangjiang. As long as we can really make achievements, I believe that the country will support it. After all, we are competing for business with foreign shipwreck salvage companies!"
"You need to be experienced in this business, right? Besides, it's not easy to know the exact location of the shipwreck, right?"
In Tang Xingyou's view, the price of a well-equipped salvage ship is at least tens of millions. Every time you go to sea for salvage, if you don't get a harvest, the cost is also very huge. In this regard, there must be sufficient financial and technical support.
Venture into such an industry, the risk is still very high!
As a result, Xu Haibao smiled mysteriously and said, "Squad leader, do you know my current freediving results?"
"What do you mean?"
"I almost hung up in an accident last time, and I didn't dare to go into the sea for a while. When I got back to the village, I slowly adjusted again. After going into the sea again, I noticed some strange changes in my body.
In the sea near the village, I personally tried to challenge it, and I was not stressed at all when I dived into the sea at a depth of 100 meters. I mean, without any scuba gear. You should know, what does that mean?"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Xingyou widened his eyes and said, "I can't feel the pressure from a hundred meters of self-diving?
Although the world record of freediving is also above 100 meters, Tang Xingyou knows very well that those world record holders need to be extra cautious every time they dive to such a depth. If you are not careful, you will be completely buried at the bottom of the sea!
