Launch of the 'Sea Dragon'
Chapter 186 Launch of the 'Sea Dragon'
In the golden autumn of October, for many villagers living in Fulin Island, even the fishing ban is over.But among the fishing boats in the village, it is rare to see anyone going out to sea to fish.Many times fishermen are more than happy to rent their boats to tourists.
The past summer vacation has kept the villagers busy for almost the entire summer vacation.Even if many villagers know that after the fishing ban period ends, there will be more harvests when fishing at sea.But many villagers feel that it is not bad to take a break during this time.
The income from receiving tourists has become a pillar industry for villagers.Compared with the risk and hard work of fishing at sea, it is undoubtedly safer to receive tourists to earn income.What's more, today's Fulin Island is more famous than before.
As the village's recognized leader in getting rich, Xu Haibao, who came back from Xiangjiang, also officially moved into his sea view villa built on Washan Island.There are only ten villas like this in the entire Washan Island.
In order to turn Washan Island into a high-end island resort, Xu Haibao, according to his own economic capacity, not only refurbished the original residences on the island, but also deliberately chose a good place to build a batch of new island villas.
The refurbished houses will receive some tourists with good economic conditions in the future.And these island villas are mostly rented out for families or groups of tourists.Its location is also some distance away from the original village.
As for the fresh water resources that plagued Washan Island for a long time earlier, after Xu Haibao rented Washan Island, he also spent a lot of money to build a seawater desalination project.The fresh water produced every day is enough to supply tourists on the island.
Even in order to avoid polluting the surrounding environment of Washan Island, Xu Haibao also built a sewage treatment system that can be recycled.A water treatment project like this is currently being built on Fulin Island.
Generally speaking, Xu Haibao's protection of the surrounding marine ecological environment is considered a bit extravagant even by the environmental protection department.But for Xu Haibao, he hopes that after the development of Fulin Island, the marine environment will not be too damaged.
Looking at his parents who were changing clothes, Xu Haibao also said speechlessly: "Dad, Mom, are you alright? If we don't leave, we may be late. Uncle Cheng and the others have been waiting for a long time!"
"Okay, okay! It's all your father's fault. Ask him to help you choose a piece of clothing, but it's always wrong! This vision is getting worse and worse!"
Listening to his mother's complaints and looking at his speechless father, Xu Haibao also secretly laughed in his heart.In fact, today's parents dressed up like this, more to accompany him to attend the delivery ceremony of the salvage ship.
In addition, Xu Haibao also invited cadres from the village committee to attend the ceremony as guests.At least Xu Haibao knew that at today's handover ceremony, the city would also send high-ranking officials to attend.
As the largest shipyard in the East China Sea, it successfully completed the task of manufacturing the salvage ship in less than half a year.At the same time, it has also passed the inspection of a professional audit team hired by Xu Haibao.Such achievements are enough to make Donghai Shipyard proud.
In the words of Du Yuexin, the general manager of the shipyard, in order to rush to build Xu Haibao's salvage ship, the craftsmen of the shipyard have hardly had a rest in the past six months.Even he, the general manager, would spend almost every day at the shipyard staring at the construction.
In view of this situation, after the audit of the salvage ship, Xu Haibao readily paid the follow-up deposit.Even taking advantage of the delivery of the salvage ship, Du Yuexin and others were invited to attend the upcoming opening banquet of the resort.
It can be said that this banquet is the first time for Xu Haibao to really stand at the front desk and show his connections and capital to the outside world.On the opening day, the visiting guests will probably shock and surprise many people!
Leading his parents to the well-built yacht dock, Tang Xingyou, who was in charge of sailing the boat, also smiled when he saw Xu Haibao's family finally appearing: "Swordfish, can we sail?"
"Okay! Go directly to the pier of the Donghai Shipyard, and later drive the salvage boat directly to the ferry pier in the town. When the resort opens, I'm afraid you will have to make a few trips to receive guests from all walks of life."
"It's okay! I've been idle for so long, I've been looking forward to getting busy!"
"Don't worry! After the salvage ship is delivered, we are about to go to sea. At that time, you will know how memorable these days are. Try to have a good harvest before the Spring Festival, so that you can go home for the New Year."
"You have the final say on this matter, I'm just in charge of sailing the boat!"
After chatting with Xu Haibao with a smile, Tang Xingyou also ordered the driving team to sail.As the leader of the driving team, Tang Xingyou also has a lot of power in the team.He even served as the captain of the salvage ship.
When Xu Haibao's yacht started to rush to the Donghai Shipyard, the Donghai Shipyard, which had been busy for a long time, had a rare day of shutdown today, busy preparing for the delivery ceremony.
Seeing the guests coming from all walks of life, the shipyard staff in charge of reception were also very surprised: "Why are there so many leaders here?"
"This is the first ship built by the shipyard with an order of over [-] million. It's normal that the leaders want to come and have a look. However, judging by the appearance of these leaders, it seems that they are not here for the shipyard, but more for that Boss Xu is here."
When thinking of receiving these leaders, many leaders would ask, "Has Mr. Xu come?"
From such inquiries, how could the shipyard staff in charge of the reception not know that these leaders were not coming for the shipyard, but mostly for Xu Haibao.After all, Xu Haibao's reputation in the province is no longer what it was years ago.
In less than a year, with the funds invested by Baoya Investment, another well-known island tourist attraction has been added to the East China Sea.This summer vacation, the tourists who went to Fulin Island alone brought a lot of income and popularity to Donghai and Baohai.
Dongling Town, which was little-known in the past, has also become the most popular investment town in the East China Sea.Many investors saw that they could not invest in the vicinity of Fulin Island, so they could only shift their attention to Dongling Town and the surrounding islands.
Compared to the past where the city spent a lot of money to develop island tourism, this investment attraction will undoubtedly give the leaders of Donghai and Baohai a shot in the arm.In their view, reasonable use of commercial investment can also accelerate the development of island tourism in the East China Sea.
What's more, according to the situation in the city, Baoya Investment Company's second domestic investment is under negotiation.But this time Baoya Investment Company's investment focus seems to have shifted from the East China Sea to the South China Sea.
It is clear that the real boss of this investment company is Xu Haibao, a low-key retired naval officer.Many leaders felt that perhaps by taking advantage of this opportunity, they could get in touch with Xu Haibao and bring in some investment.
The batch of gold and silver coins that Xu Haibao sent to auction at Sobirich's special summer auction that ended earlier earned Xu Haibao hundreds of millions of dollars.Although it is not US dollars but RMB, this also shows that Xu Haibao is not worried about funds now.
Most importantly, these leaders are well-informed.That is, Xu Haibao is not just a boss.In the special crackdown on "sweeping black and evil" that just ended, many officials were censored by shuanggui.
The person who caused the storm seemed to be Xu Haibao, who was quiet in his hometown.In view of this situation, it makes sense that the leaders of the two cities came to join in the fun.
As one of the hosts of today's ceremony, Du Yuexin, the boss of the shipyard, was also very surprised to see that the province had sent special personnel over.But thinking about the news provided by his old comrades, he felt that this situation seemed normal.
When the visiting leaders followed Du Yuexin to visit the shipyard, they received a call from the reception staff at the dock. Du Yuexin also smiled and said, "Leaders, excuse me, Mr. Xu has already arrived at the dock."
Earlier, some leaders wanted to visit the salvage ship, but Du Yuexin still refused.The reason is that the internal facilities of the salvage ship may involve the safety of the salvage ship.For this reason, Xu Haibao also requested not to take pictures during the visit.
If these leaders want to board the ship for a visit, they can only wait for Xu Haibao to arrive and obtain Xu Haibao's consent before they can board the ship for a visit.After the salvage ship is delivered, some corresponding equipment will be arranged on the ship one after another.
In order to build the salvage ship customized by Xu Haibao, Du Yuexin really spent a lot of effort.What he didn't expect was that the Navy also gave strong support when applying for military steel and technical support later.
At first, I thought that my relationship played a role, but I later found out that the navy would give such a big support, and it was more for Xu Haibao's face.This also shocked Du Yuexin. Does a retired non-commissioned officer have such a big face?
Although he didn't understand the reason, it didn't prevent Du Yuexin from seeing clearly that Xu Haibao had support from above.Later, when I learned that Xu Haibao donated 3000 million yuan free of charge, Du Yuexin also felt that such a generous donation, even if he could not do it.
Arriving at the ferry terminal of the shipyard, Xu Haibao shook hands politely with Du Yuexin and the leaders of the shipyard who came to greet them in person.During this process, Xu Haibao also introduced his parents and village committee cadres to everyone.
Compared with saying hello to the bosses of these shipyards, seeing the leaders at all levels who came over, Xu Mingcheng and others who came as guests of the ceremony, really seemed a little dumbfounded.After all, they are too far away from these leadership levels!
Hearing these leaders' recognition of the work of the village committee, Xu Mingcheng, the village head, was also a little flattered.But through today's incident, Xu Mingcheng also really understood why Xu Haibao brought them here.
With the attention and support of so many leaders, the development of Fulin Island's tourism in the future will reduce a lot of resistance.In the past, some complained that he did not accept oil and salt, and did not accept foreign investment.After today's meeting, no one would dare to say anything.
When Du Yuexin led Xu Haibao and his party to the ship where the salvage ship was docked, they looked at the huge ship docked in the ship.Xu Haibao's parents also lamented that building such a boat would cost hundreds of millions of dollars!
On the other hand, the guests present at the ceremony, looking at the word "Hailong" painted on the salvage ship, felt that this salvage ship was really mighty and domineering.It's just that it's not easy to earn back the cost of spending so much money to build such a salvage ship!
