Chapter 043 The Older Generation
After "Gun Regiment 101" completed its berthing, the A-109 light helicopter on the flight deck suddenly took off in the night and flew towards the airport.
This is also a normal operation for sheltering from the wind.
Zhong Guobang greeted Li Hai at the trestle. After seeing Li Hai and the others, he came over and asked, "What are you two doing here? Is the wind protection work at the airport completed?"
"Hello, Chief! The report will be completed in the afternoon." Li Hai quickly stood at attention and saluted in reply.
Dang Weimin pointed to the ship and said, "Le Hai's father is the captain of this ship."
Zhong Guobang pointed at Li Hai and said in surprise, "Are you Li Zewen's son?"
"Yes, Chief." Li Hai said with a grin.
Zhong Guobang laughed loudly, "The world is really small. Your kid is actually Li Zewen's son. I did know that he has a son in the Naval Aviation School. It turns out he is you!"
Li Hai smiled stupidly.
"Your father probably doesn't know yet. I'll give him a surprise later. Come on, come with me to pick him up." Zhong Guobang invited them to go to the trestle to greet him.
The crew members on the ship were busy and unhurriedly doing windproof work. They were all strong men. Under the high-power searchlight, you could clearly see the compelling heroic spirit between their brows. Li Hai knew that Gun Tuan Fishery
The company's crew is mainly composed of retired military personnel, a considerable number of whom are retired military personnel of the Navy. Recruiting mainly retired military personnel has been the principle established by the company since its establishment.
Li Hai's father, Li Zewen, was born in the Army. He changed his career from a regimental-level leadership position to the deputy division level. Now he is receiving retirement pay and serving as chief captain and navigation manager of the Regiment Fishing Company. It is said that his annual salary is hundreds of dollars.
Ten thousand.
Therefore, the Party for the People sometimes said that Li Hai was a rich second generation from a military family, so Li Hai's stinginess was even more "disgusted".
Li Zewen's tutoring was very strict. Ever since Li Hai was called into the Naval Aviation Academy and became a student in the growth class, he never gave Li Hai a penny. He also made it clear that he would live his own life in the future and that he wanted to marry a wife and buy a house for himself.
Save money.
But you are just poor, how can you save money if you are not stingy?
The entire tuna fishing boat was dusty, and you could vaguely see a lot of shellfish attached to the hull. The paint in some places was mottled. It was obvious that the boat had just experienced a long voyage, and it was very likely that it had passed by.
Continuous long-term voyage operations after replenishment.
There are two water cannons covered with canvas on the deck of the ship, which are defensive weapons used to deal with pirates. All the ocean fishing vessels of Gun Tuan Fishing Company are equipped with these devices. And this one with the hull number "Qian Tuan 101"
The tuna fishing boat not only has water cannons, but also uses water bombs with a vertical launch system. It has strong defense capabilities. In addition, it is a high-horsepower and high-speed boat. Pirates will stay away when they see it.
In theory, this guy can catch 2,000 tons of tuna in one net. Calculated at 6,000 yuan per ton, one net is 12 million. If you have two nets, you can call it a day. It can be said to be a super high value-added fishing boat, which is very popular with pirates.
target of plunder.
A tall middle-aged man wearing a 87-style jungle camouflage uniform strode down the gangway, followed closely by Wang Jiu, the captain of the "Gun Tuan 101" tuna fishing boat. He was about the same age and taller. Both of them had long hair.
He has a thick beard, which shows that it has not been trimmed for a long time.
"Old Zhong!" Li Zewen stretched out his hand from afar.
Zhong Guobang saluted with a smile, stepped forward and shook hands with Li Zewen warmly, "Old Li, you have worked hard, are you going well all the way?"
"I encountered several groups of pirates, so I quickly cleaned them up." Li Zewen said with a smile.
Zhong Guobang was not worried at all about the ship's ability to protect itself and said, "By the way, look who this is."
As he spoke, he turned aside to let Li Hai behind him.
Li Zewen turned his head and looked over, his brows suddenly furrowed, "Li Hai? Why are you here, little bastard?"
"Dad!" Li Hai stood at attention and saluted.
It's really an unexpected surprise.
"Uncle Jiu!" Li Hai saluted Wang Jiu.
Wang Jiu laughed loudly and came over and hugged Li Hai's shoulders affectionately, "Good boy, why are you here?"
"I've taken a temporary job here." Li Hai said.
A burst of outpourings of reunion after a long absence.
Zhong Guobang said, "Let's stop standing around and go to the canteen to have something to eat. You are probably all starving, right?"
"Do you have any wine? Take a few sips. I haven't had a few sips of wine in more than half a year." Li Zewen said with a smile.
"Yes! Of course!"
Without Zhong Guobang's instructions, his men would arrange accommodation for the crew. He took Li Zewen, Wang Jiu, Li Hai, and Dang Weimin to the only Coaster bus on the island and went straight to the guard.
Go to the reef troop camp.
Li Zewen and Zhong Guobang chatted and had no time to talk to Li Hai. Li Hai could only talk to Wang Jiu.
"Uncle Jiu, have you changed boats again? The boat just now is obviously not the original one." Li Hai asked.
This tuna fishing boat "Gun Tuan 101" is obviously much larger, and the number is missing the word "fishing". Li Hai remembers that the boat where his father was stationed, that is, the boat commanded by Wang Jiu, was "Gun Tuan Fishing".
No. 101".
"Yes, I changed it to a bigger one." Wang Jiu raised his chin and said proudly, "The company's business has been doing well in the past few years, and the fleet has been expanded again. The full load displacement of my current ship has reached 5,000 tons.
, with a maximum range of 8,000 nautical miles, a self-sustaining sailing capacity of 30 days, a maximum speed of 30 knots, and 30% power redundancy. It can be used as a tugboat when necessary. Isn’t it awesome?”
Li Hai clicked his tongue and sighed, "Your company is too low-key. A fishing company with a total ship tonnage of more than 300,000 tons is really scary. It still needs to expand."
The party for the people was quite surprised, "Three hundred thousand tons? It catches up with the total tonnage of the navies of most countries."
"It's not surprising. Look at COSCO Shipping. The total tonnage is more than 60 million tons. That's what they call strength. We are still far behind, so we still have a long way to go." Wang Jiu said with a smile.
.
Dang Weimin said, "Uncle Jiu, we are the naval aviation force and we have a relatively good understanding of these things at sea. There is no comparability in terms of total tonnage between fishing companies and shipping companies. You are wrong to say that. The fishery industry has more than 300,000 tons."
The company ranks among the best in the world, right?"
Wang Jiu shook his head slightly, "It doesn't rank in the top ten. No fishing company in our country can rank in the top ten. So we still need to speed up our development."
It is more appropriate to describe Guntuan Fishing Company as working hard and making money in silence, and they are mainly engaged in fishing in the open sea and polar waters, and rarely compete with offshore fishermen for profit, which makes them even more unknown. On the other hand, because the company
Fishing companies only engage in the upstream industry, and the products are already owned by another company when they reach consumers.
Li Hai said, "It's been more than half a year since you left, and you haven't been back yet?"
"No." Wang Jiu said, "I visited several ocean fishing grounds during this trip. I basically visited the shore once a month and caught five boats of fish. All of them were booked by Party A in advance."
He smiled and asked Li Zewen, "General Ship, this trip has made at least tens of millions of profits, right?"
"Absolutely." Li Zewen turned around and nodded.
Wang Jiu said, "The domestic tuna market is developing, and at this stage it is still mainly engaged in foreign markets. The advantage of our ship is that it forms an industrial chain. After catching, we will complete the production and packaging, and we will trade directly after docking, and we will directly trade at the CIF price.
The settlement efficiency is greatly improved, and the money is naturally flowing."
While chatting, the group arrived at the camp canteen and sat down one after another. Zhong Guobang took Li Zewen and Wang Jiu and the others started to drink heavily. It was obvious that they were old friends who had known each other for a long time.
After Dang Weimin had eaten half full, he asked Li Hai in a low voice, "What did your father do before? Why do you even know the people from Forgettable Reef? They seem to be old friends."
"Didn't I tell you that he was a soldier before?" Li Hai said.
Dang Weimin said, "It's not that simple, right? Even if he is transferred from a regular regiment in the Army, how come he is so familiar with people in our Navy?"
At this time, Xue Zhengrong arrived, striding over and saluting as he walked, "Chief ship, I'm late. Brother Guobang really didn't inform me in advance."
"Zhengrong, come on, come and sit here. Don't blame Lao Zhong, I made a last-minute decision. Come, you can have tea instead of wine and let's have a good chat." Li Zewen greeted Xue Zhengrong.
The party and the people are dumbfounded, and the relationship is really unclear.
He looked at Li Hai, and his eyes seemed to say, Li Hai, you are so secretive. I said, why do you want to take a temporary post at Forgettable Reef? It turns out that the reason is here! I hope it can be explained.
Li Hai shrugged, "Don't look at me, I really don't know."
Of course the Party for the People doesn’t believe it.
Li Hai had no choice but to suppress his voice and say with a wry smile, "I really don't know. I don't know what my dad did in the army before. He never told us and didn't let us ask. My mom does know, but she does confidential technical work.
Yes, it’s even more impossible for her to tell me. I only know that my dad has served in all three armed forces, and he has many comrades, even in the Rocket Force."
"Are you kidding me?" Dang Weimin's eyes almost popped out.
There are very few examples of cross-service service, but this still crosses all the services. Li Hai's father is only in his early fifties and has been in the military for seven or eight years. Even if he started serving in the army at the age of eighteen, it would still be a long time before he joined the army.
He only served for twenty-four years. Could it be that each of the four major branches of the military served for six years?
What kind of job is this?
Li Hai said, "It's true. I don't know the specific circumstances. But he used to be a subordinate of the old Lu War God."
"God of War Li Mu?" Dang Weimin was shocked.
Li Hai smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's him. My dad is quite awesome."
The party gave the people a thumbs up, "Old Li, you really hide your secrets!"
"It has nothing to do with me." Li Hai lowered his voice and said, "He never lets me tell anyone about him, nor can I use his banner. After he was admitted to our school, his requirements became even stricter, you know this!
"
Dang Weimin slowly calmed down from the shock and nodded slowly, "That's true. For someone else to have such an old man, his life would not be as rich and moist as yours. It's not like your life, haha."
"Now you know how difficult it is for me, right?"
