Chapter 249: What's the point of being willful
Like the Spring Festival in previous years, Xu Haibao, who finally calmed down after a few busy days, also began to be busy for the New Year's work. Although it is easy to stay in my hometown every day, it is easy to erase the fighting spirit of such a life.
Considering Liu Xiaohan and Xu Qingya, who were about to start school after the Lantern Festival, and seeing Zhao Ji and others who were returning one after another, Xu Haibao finally decided to take his family to the base in Qiongya. It will be a place for Xu Haibao to stay for a long time in the future.
About Xu Haibao renting another island on the side of Qiongya as a sea base for the salvage company, his family also knows more or less. I even heard Xu Haibao say that in order to build that base, Xu Haibao spent more money than building a resort.
Since it is Xu Haibao's industry, it is normal for the family to accompany them to take a look. After some discussion, Xu Haibao's family took a salvage boat again and followed Xu Haibao to the island of the new base.
In the future, if they have time, they can also go there for a long time. It's not far from Qiongya, and if you want to spend a vacation, it may be a good place to go. The family didn't say much about this arrangement.
With the salvage ship going to sea again, the family members who went to sea with the ship for the first time looked at the facilities of the salvage ship and said enviously: "It seems that it feels good to go to sea with this boat." The various living facilities on this ship are quite complete!"
"The ship that has been built with hundreds of millions of dollars must be worth every penny!"
People who have never been on a boat must think that a salvage boat is not much different from a fishing boat. But in fact, in addition to the salvage ship equipped with salvage equipment, the living cabins on the ship are similar to those of cruise ships.
In addition to this, the restaurant on board is also very large, not to mention the kitchen. In Xu Haibao's view, having a good living and working environment will also make people who have been working on the ship for a long time relatively comfortable.
For many people who are on a boat for the first time, the first two days may feel very new. If you really want to stay on the ship for ten days and half a month, that kind of restraint will also make many people feel bored. The comfortable accommodation environment is still conducive to relieving the boredom of the crew.
After sailing on the sea for nearly two days, Xu Haibao's salvage ship finally arrived at its destination. Seeing the island in front of them, the Xu family who came out of the cabin also looked very happy. In their opinion, it is more comfortable to step on land.
"Brother, did you rent the island in front of you too?"
Compared to islands that can be purchased abroad, islands in China are more often leased. In this case, Xu Haibao also gave a new task to the management of Baoya Company, that is, to go abroad to negotiate the purchase of private islands.
Although the capital cost is relatively large, for Xu Haibao, the property rights of the islands purchased abroad belong to him completely. Even the purchased islands can be left as a legacy for future generations.
Most importantly, once the island purchase process is completed, the island becomes Xu Haibao's private domain. No one other than the sovereign State of the islands is allowed to enter these private islands without permission. In this case, it is not easy to be disturbed.
When the salvage ship slowly docked, looking at the dock that had been repaired, Xu Haibao's father, who got off the ship, was also surprised: "Baowa, this wharf is so big!
"Dad, be prepared! I booked two boats a few years ago, and I should be able to launch them in the second half of the year. When the time comes, all three ships will be parked here, and the dock will definitely have to be rebuilt if it is not repaired a little bigger. ”
Regarding Xu Haibao's booking of two more ships, the Xu family still knows a little. Although I feel that Xu Haibao spends money a little indiscriminately, it seems that Xu Haibao's speed of making money is still more powerful than spending money.
Arriving at the dock and entering the island, looking at the training area and accommodation area that had been built, Liu Xiaohan, who was staying by Xu Haibao's side, was also surprised and said: "How does the building on this island look similar to the military camp?"
"It's very simple! The people who built these buildings were the engineering troops. For me, the safety aspect of the salvage company's offshore base here is very important. And the employees recruited later also need to be trained here.
In order to better implement management, the salvage company will still implement militarized management in the future. Of course, compared to the army, the discipline of the company is still freer. Most importantly, the company recruits veterans, and they are more suitable for this environment. ”
Regarding the fact that the base will receive troops and elites from the Special Affairs Institute for training on the island in the future, Xu Haibao will naturally not follow Liu Xiaohan. In fact, for the navy, they also have a certain intention in leasing this island to Xu Haibao at a low price.
It is also located off the coast of Qiongya Island, and although it belongs to the economic sea area of China, the military's supervision of this place is still relatively lax. Now with this supply base, the navy and the maritime surveillance department can dock and replenish.
Even if there is an emergency situation in the nearby waters in the future, before the navy and the maritime surveillance ship arrive, Xu Haibao can also send ships to support in advance. To a certain extent, it is equivalent to Xu Haibao paying for the construction of a frontier island base.
If there is a war in the future, it will also become a forward position. It was precisely because of these considerations, coupled with Xu Haibao's abundant funds, that the above agreed to lease this island to Xu Haibao for use.
took his family to live in the villa on the island, and seeing that the daily necessities inside were brand new, Xu Haibao's parents also began to clean up the house. And Xu Haibao also took Zhao Ji and others to visit the new base that had been built in a timely manner.
The person in charge of the engineering corps temporarily stationed here introduced Xu Haibao to the corresponding buildings of the base. Xu Haibao also said directly: "I want to see what the underground base looks like! In terms of security, there is no problem, right?"
"No! Our company also has experience in such a project. Considering your request, the underground base we built is still very hidden. When the transplanted trees grow, even if there are monitoring satellites, they will not be able to find the secret entrance. ”
Under the leadership of the person in charge, Xu Haibao, Zhao Ji and others quickly opened a fingerprint and password door from the basement of the office building and walked into the underground passage. This tunnel is still very strong.
Not long after walking, Xu Haibao and his entourage saw a secret port built underground on the side of the island. According to the information introduced by the engineer in charge, this secret port is suitable for berthing ships of less than 10,000 tons.
Most importantly, this secret port is capable of docking four conventional submarines. This also means that the island base was indeed built according to the standards of a naval base. The military can also temporarily requisition the base when necessary.
Seeing that the company's base was built like this, Tang Xingyou, who was at the end of the visit, was also puzzled and said: "Swordfish, will it be too wasteful for the company's base to be built like this? This looks no different from the naval base!"
"Of course I know that, but you should know that there must be a reason why the above authorities will so readily agree to lease the island to us. Rest assured, if they want to requisition the base, they will also need to greet us in advance.
Moreover, having such a secret port also has certain benefits for us. Later, if possible, I will procure one or two submarines and go to sea with our salvage fleet.
If some countries really play tricks, I don't mind letting the submarine teach them a lesson. And most importantly, if there is a submarine to follow the action, it will be more convenient and easy to transfer the salvaged things. ”
Military ships can intercept surface ships on the high seas. But if you want to intercept a submarine sailing underwater, I'm afraid it's also impossible. As for the purchase of submarines, Xu Haibao believes that sooner or later the above will agree.
For Xu Haibao, buying a submarine is more about avoiding the exposure of his personal space. If the above does not agree, Xu Haibao will not force it. When he buys an island overseas, Xu Haibao will still buy submarines overseas.
In these years, as long as it is worth spending money, it will not be too difficult to buy something that cannot see the light. What's more, I believe that some countries have heard some information about Xu Haibao.
This also means that those countries who want to find trouble with Xu Haibao salvage the ship must also consider the consequences. After all, there are lessons from the past of the Five Poisons, and those countries will not act rashly until they have accurate information.
In addition to this undersea port, Xu Haibao also had the construction company dig a large underground vault under the villa area where he lived. Even this vault is equipped with a thermostatic system.
After setting up the fingerprint and password, Xu Haibao received the base and asked the investment company to pay off the follow-up project. I also found a time to neatly place the precious antiques kept in the nameless bead space in the underground vault.
If there is a real opportunity in the future, Xu Haibao will also build his own antique museum. Many precious cultural relics salvaged from the sea have been rejuvenated after being soaked in nameless beads.
Although the space of the nameless pearls that these cultural relics continue to preserve is safer, Xu Haibao knows very well that it is somewhat wasteful to use the space as a grocery store. It is more appropriate to clean up these antiques and store them now.
After receiving the island base, the two helicopters that had been parked at the Qiongya Naval Base were also taken over by Xu Haibao. One of them will be docked on a salvage ship, and the other will be placed at the base for use.
As for the corresponding pilots, they are still recruited from among the retired non-commissioned officers of the Navy. Even for gun licenses, which are rare in China, the military has made an exception and granted a lot. Even the guards who are responsible for the security of the base can carry guns in an open and honest manner.
It's just that externally, this island is the base of the Xiangjiang Sea Dragon Salvage Company. A salvage company rents an island as a base, which is somewhat incredible.
But the facts are here, so why not if Xu Haibao is rich and capricious!
With the team members recruited by the salvage company in the later stage in place, the originally deserted island base has also become lively. But for Xu Haibao and the official team members, they began to think about the place to go to sea for the second time.
In the new year, many team members who spend money during the Spring Festival also hope to go to sea as soon as possible. In that case, it may not be long before they have something new. If you stay at the base every day, then you have a good time going to sea?
