On the eastern outskirts of Nangang, behind a coastal defense forest along the coastal beach, is a military camp.

This military camp is a camp left by the coastal defense regiment and has a history of several decades. Later, after the reform of the army, the coastal defense and coastal defense forces were reorganized into the territorial defense forces, and their deployment was readjusted, and it was idle. Then the Navy formed a professional underwater rescue unit, and the number of them increased, and the camps were obviously insufficient. In line with the principle of saving military spending, this old camp was put to use, renovated, and renovated as necessary, and became the home of the Navy's newest underwater rescue unit, the Navy's 13th Underwater Rescue Team.

An asphalt road connects the camp with the main road three kilometers away, leading into the camp, flanked by the famous coconut palms of the tropics.

Li Mai drove the land landing 5700 on the asphalt road, and Hu Wenbing sat in the co-pilot and smoked. Li Mai's Land 6200 was damaged in the last battle and has been sent back to the Red Automobile Company for repair, and because his car is a customized version, it is estimated that it will not be completely repaired in three or five months. Therefore, he could only find a fairly powerful 5700 from the company to drive it temporarily.

5。 The displacement of 7 is still too small.

The dark green land 5700 slowly drove to the gate of the camp, and the gate guard saw the car, thinking that the superior leader was coming, but after a closer look, it was a civilian license plate, so he was puzzled and vigilant. At this time, they saw the boss hurrying over -- it was Colonel Wang Jiaqing, the commander of the 13th Underwater Rescue Team, a regimental-level cadre.

The gate guard saluted, Wang Jiaqing returned the salute, raised his eyes and saw Li Mai's car arrive, so he immediately asked the sentry to open the door. Wang Jiaqing stood aside and greeted Li Mai's car in. Li Mai saw Wang Jiaqing, parked the car aside, pushed the door and got out of the car, and Hu Wenbing followed to get out of the car.

At this time, Wang Jiaqing had already strode over.

Li Mai and Wang Jiaqing were already acquaintances, so everyone was not very polite, shook hands with each other, and Wang Jiaqing led them to the small two-story office building.

"Mr. Li, you should call me in advance, and I can prepare. Wang Jiaqing said with a smile as he walked.

Li Mai smiled and said, "It's not for the superior leaders to inspect the work, so it's hard for you to have some welcome ceremony." ”

Hu Wenbing said, "Now, even if the grassroots inspection work is carried out under the leadership of the superiors, there can be no welcome ceremony, which is clearly stipulated. ”

Wang Jiaqing lifted his glasses and said, "Yes, in the past, in order to meet the inspection of the superiors, the training arrangements of the grassroots troops would usually be disrupted. You said that the leaders should come down and inspect it, and the hygiene must be thoroughly done, and the soldiers' military appearance and discipline must be inspected, and various reporting materials must be prepared. At least a day's training has to be carried in. Now this atmosphere has been corrected, and it is of great benefit to the daily work of the troops. When the leaders come to inspect and inspect them, the troops should do whatever they should do. This can also lead the most realistic situation with visual feedback. ”

Li Mai nodded slowly and said, "The fundamental reason is that the starting point and foothold of building and governing the army have been clarified, and the purpose is to improve combat effectiveness. Red tape, and some bad habits that have been formed for a long time, should be changed. ”

As they spoke, they walked into Wang Jiaqing's office.

"We have a small place, and several backbones are learning the instruction manual of the newly distributed underwater machine in the conference room, and Mr. Li and Director Hu can only be wronged. ”

Li Mai smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I spent a whole year in an even worse camp. ”

The three of them sat down, and Wang Jiaqing was busy making tea, while talking to Li Mai and them. From time to time, Hu Wenbing asked how the security and confidentiality work of the troops was doing. This is also where his duty lies, you must know that the Nangang Station is responsible for the security and confidentiality of the entire Nangang area, and plays a supervisory role. Hu Wenbing mentioned this as a good reason for this visit and to bring a non-governmental person like Li Mai into the office of a regimental-level cadre of a unit with a high level of technical secrecy.

Wang Jiaqing sat down after being busy, drank some tea, and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, Director Hu, do you want to visit our 13th underwater rescue team this time?"

He knew that Li Mai had a water conservancy and hydropower company. Speaking of which, the water conservancy and hydropower company also has a close relationship with these divers, and they are also a professional underwater rescue unit of the navy. To dig a canal for water conservancy, you have to know the underwater situation, what geology, what rock formations, and so on. Wang Jiaqing personally led a team to help Li Mai do some underwater work before. Previously, Li Mai mentioned that he wanted to establish a professional underwater rescue team for the company, and he thought that Li Mai was here to learn from it.

Li Mai smiled and said, "I'll just say it directly, I came here today to poach you." ”

Wang Jiaqing didn't react for a while, and looked at Hu Wenbing suspiciously, but Hu Wenbing just looked at him and thought. It took a long time for Wang Jiaqing to react, "Dig me up?"

"That's right. "I want you to be the CEO of my new company." ”

Wang Jiaqing was a little confused, waved his hand with a wry smile, and said, "Mr. Li, you let me digest it, my brain is a little uncontrollable." ”

Li Mai and Hu Wenbing looked at each other and smiled.

After about a minute, seeing that Wang Jiaqing's expression finally slowly recovered from his shock, Li Mai continued to introduce and said, "I am ready to set up a canal project company, and the staffing has been prepared, and there is still a leader missing. Lao Wang, you are a double master's degree from the National University of Defense Technology, and you have deep attainments in business management. Didn't you work for a start-up company for a while after you graduated, hehe? I'm looking at your talent. Come to think of it, or you're the best fit. ”

Wang Jiaqing slowed down, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Mr. Li, you are such a big enterprise with a lot of talents, this errand shouldn't fall on my head." ”

"Talent is rare. Li Mai sighed and said, "I have a lot of talents in my hands, but there are not many companies of all kinds, one radish and one pit, I racked my brains and couldn't find one." So, I'm going to hit you in the head. ”

Hu Wenbing interjected at this time, "Lao Wang, I see that you are unwilling to take off your military uniform and leave the army. ”

"Shame, shame. Wang Jiaqing smiled, and then said with a slight sternness, "I have no ambitions, and my only ideal is to use the knowledge I have learned to make a modest contribution to national defense construction." Director Hu is right, I don't want to leave the army. ”

Li Mai and Hu Wenbing glanced at each other, Li Mai was full of confidence, as if he was sure that Wang Jiaqing would definitely agree, he said, "You listen to me, and then think about it." ”

"Mr. Li, please speak. ”

Slowly putting away his smile, Li Mai said in a deep voice, "The full name of the company I want to set up is called the Kra Canal Development Company, and this company has only one task, which is to dig the Kra Canal." ”

Wang Jiaqing was stunned again, looking at Li Mai with wide eyes, gradually, his face was full of incredulity.
