Chapter 116 Forming a salvage team
Arriving at the private villa that had just been purchased in Xiangjiang, Xu Haibao still felt very happy when he looked at Tang Xingyou and others who had been waiting here for a long time. After a period of contact, Xu Haibao has gathered fifteen old comrades-in-arms.
Among them, there are five retired non-commissioned officers headed by Tang Xingyou who are good at driving ships. Led by You Guangwei and Wang Yuzhu, there are six retired non-commissioned officers who are good at diving. The remaining four retired non-commissioned officers are combatants who have been contacted.
Looking at the fifteen comrades-in-arms gathered together, some of them were not too familiar with Xu Haibao, but they all retired from the base. Some of these people have a longer military age than Xu Haibao, and some are about the same as Xu Haibao.
After beckoning everyone to sit down, Xu Haibao also asked with a smile: "Old Tang, during this time, everyone should be adapted, right?"
"It's okay! I just stay in the apartment every day to rest, everyone feels like they have nothing to do, and they feel like they've entered a nursing home!"
Although Tang Xingyou is not the oldest in this group of people, he is also the person Xu Haibao trusts the most. Compared with Wang Yuzhu, who is still young and has yet to grow up, the older Tang Xingyou is undoubtedly more mature and stable.
has been in contact with Xu Haibao for a long time, and Tang Xingyou also has something to say. The soldiers spoke very straightforwardly among themselves, and Tang Xingyou would not hide anything in front of Xu Haibao. Be honest, and get along better with each other.
The retired non-commissioned officers who were invited to come this time all received 100,000 yuan in advance of the settlement fee. During their time in Xiangjiang, they can also receive a lot of monthly salaries. Just taking money and not working, everyone still feels a little uncomfortable.
Listening to Tang Xingyou's complaints, Xu Haibao also smiled and said: "What? Let you rest, you still don't want to! Don't worry, I specially invited you over, I definitely didn't want you to come to support the elderly, I also need you to help me."
It's just that although the company has been registered, our salvage ship has not yet been booked, and if you want to get on the ship, you will have to wait for a while. Most importantly, if you really want to go to sea to work, how long can your physical condition last?
Let you rest here first, in fact, it is also to help you regulate your body. Once a salvage ship is out at sea, we often have to stay at sea for a long time. The body is the capital of the revolution, I believe you all understand this truth, right?"
"But every day I stay in the apartment and have nothing to do, I always feel panicked!"
Knowing that among the people invited, even Tang Xingyou's own physical condition was not too good. As retired non-commissioned officers from the navy, many of them suffer from occupational diseases, but the severity of them varies.
Knowing that these comrades-in-arms didn't want him to treat them as patients, Xu Haibao also said in a timely manner: "Don't worry, I came to Xiangjiang this time, and I also have work arrangements." There is just one thing that needs to be remembered, and that is that the body is the most important.
In any case, we are all old comrades-in-arms from the base, and we all know the importance of health. Taking advantage of this time, everyone also strives to take care of their bodies, and when the salvage ship is in place, we can go to sea by boat.
Although some of you are familiar with me, and some of you are meeting me for the first time. But everyone is destined to get together, and they will be brothers who will fight side by side in the future, and I hope you will have something to say in the future.
In order to understand your recovery, I have signed an agreement with a nearby hospital. Every other month, you will need to go to the hospital for an experience to confirm your physical condition.
If you want to go to sea in the future, you must be in good physical condition. The situation of going to sea to work while sick will not work, at least for me. Because the risk of shipwreck salvage is greater than you think. ”
Listening to Xu Haibao's words, a veteran sitting in the living room said with a serious expression: "Boss, what are the risks you are talking about?"
The veteran who spoke was Zhao Ji, a second-level retired non-commissioned officer of the former frogman combat group, from the retired veterans file of the base through Liu Chenglin. According to the information provided by Liu Chenglin, Zhao Ji has participated in many actual combat missions.
In Liu Chenglin's words, if you really want to find a powerful frogman, then only retired frogs who have really experienced actual combat are the most reliable. To put it simply, only soldiers who have really experienced actual combat can be called qualified soldiers.
"Lao Zhao, don't you mind calling you that, right?"
Regarding Zhao Ji's information, Xu Haibao had also read it earlier. After retiring from the army, Zhao Ji couldn't find a suitable job in the local area. In the end, he worked as a security guard in a company in his hometown, and his monthly income can be imagined.
After responding to Zhao Ji's words, Xu Haibao continued: "Although everyone is specially invited by me, nominally I am also everyone's boss. But I still hope that it would be better for everyone to be casual in the future.
At work, I am the person in charge, and privately, many of you are my seniors and squad leaders. If you can, everyone will still call it a code name in the future!
In addition, in order to avoid any accidents in the future, future activities outside will be commensurate with code names. I'm sure you'll understand the reasons for doing so in the future. It doesn't hurt to keep a low profile in this line of work!"
In his previous life, there were many salvage companies, and Xu Haibao was very aware of the dangers and grudges of shipwreck salvage. The treasures of the sea seem to be innumerable, but the ones that can really be salvaged are actually very limited.
In this case, some salvage companies always want to profit from the fisherman, and obtain information about the wreck from other salvage companies through bribery or coercion. This method is quite restrained, and when it encounters an armed group that has taken it by force, the scene is even more shocking.
After a few words, Xu Haibao continued: "Regarding the salvage of shipwrecks, the information that can be collected in China is very limited. Moreover, in China's waters, most of the countries engaged in salvage operations have adopted the principle of keeping a low profile.
But overseas, and even on other high seas, salvage ships of various countries will look extremely low-key when they go to sea. In many cases, outside of the sea, the crew members are not allowed to communicate with the outside world except for necessary communications.
The reason for this is simple: to avoid being taken advantage of by competitors. In addition, it is also to avoid being blatantly robbed by some armed groups after salvaging the treasure of the sunken ship. Treasure touches people's hearts, and some people are willing to take risks for this.
This time, I specially invited Lao Zhao to come over, and I also hope that you will serve as the safety officer of the salvage ship. In the event of an incident like this, I need you to provide security for the fleet, and perhaps fight back against the attackers if necessary.
In addition to having a security group, a salvage ship needs an intelligence group as well as a logistics support group. As for the ship group and the salvage team, one is responsible for driving the ship, and the other is responsible for underwater exploration and salvage operations.
Anyway, invite you to come and work together, and I will assign you to the appropriate group according to your skills. The intention is simple: to ensure that the treasure is recovered and that people are safe. ”
After listening to Xu Haibao's story, Zhao Ji said in a timely manner: "If you say so, our security team can be equipped with guns in the future?"
"It's just the situation in China, I believe I don't need to say more, you should also understand. For this reason, I will try my best to find a way to equip the security team with guns and apply for the corresponding gun identification for you.
But there is one thing that you need to be prepared for. Once on the high seas, we risk encountering armed groups with strong firepower. In this case, the weapons equipped by the security team will naturally be a little more fierce.
I will find a way to deal with and solve this matter for you. In order to ensure that you return to the state of the army, I will provide you with corresponding trial opportunities according to your physical recovery.
Gun control is very strict at home, but relatively relaxed abroad. Therefore, in the future, it is not excluded to arrange overseas trial training for you, so that you can familiarize yourself with guns and find out what it is like to fight in the army.
The leader of the ship group, with Lao Tang as the team leader, will have a copy of the information about the salvage ships of various countries, and I will also ask someone to provide you later. Your ship team will also familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible and provide technical reference for the next expected salvage ship.
The leader of the salvage group is led by Lao You. When your body is well adjusted, I will personally take you to the sea and teach you some corresponding shipwreck salvage skills. The leader of the security team is Lao Zhao.
As for the intelligence collection team and the logistics support and support team, when there are comrades coming over, I will adjust the division of labor accordingly. In the next period of time, the most important thing for everyone is to adjust their mental and physical state. ”
After making a simple grouping, Tang Xingyou and others also knew Xu Haibao and had detailed consideration of the company's arrangements with them. I just want to go to sea, and I have to wait for a while.
Seeing off these comrades-in-arms who lived in the apartment next door, Xu Haibao also rarely had a moment to rest. Now that the company and the residence have been arranged, there are still a lot of things to do. Managing this stall really made Xu Haibao feel a little troubled.
Fortunately, Xu Haibao knows that compared with fighting alone, having such a team behind him will also help him go further in the future. Xu Haibao is also looking forward to how big waves this team will make when it breaks into the shipwreck salvage industry in the future!
At present, many international salvage companies cooperate with some island countries in Southeast Asia to salvage shipwrecks on the high seas or in the waters of these countries to obtain huge profits. Although there are domestic objections to this, there is no power to stop these countries from salvaging overseas companies.
If Xu Haibao can lead a group of people to make a name for himself in this industry, I believe that the state will give more support. As for the possibility of attracting hostility from foreign forces, Xu Haibao is also fully psychologically prepared.
As a monk, Xu Haibao knew very well that his life path would not be smooth sailing. It is only through trials and tribulations that he can truly grow. chose to re-follow the path of his previous life, and he felt more familiar with this industry.
In the name of salvage, he traveled to the world's oceans, experienced more people and things, and collected treasures that could improve his cultivation. As for making a fortune by salvaging the treasure of the shipwreck, it is a matter of the way!
