Chapter 201
A big deal!
Chapter 201 A big deal!
For many veterans, a life experience in the military will last a lifetime.If there is a chance to return to the old army, I am afraid that many soldiers will feel like returning to their mother's home.In the eyes of these veterans, the army may be their second home.
Compared with Xu Haibao who retired from the base in less than a year, the rest of the salvage team members have retired a bit longer.But these players, without exception, have left the best youthful years of their lives here.
After some players retired, they all had the idea of going back to the base to have a look.It's just that they know better that the army is not a school, and it is difficult to go back to the old army to visit.What's more, the confidentiality level of the base is quite high.
This time, with the help of Xu Haibao, a group of team members rarely returned to the base. Looking at the barracks where they lived in the early years and the training ground where they struggled, everyone felt very cordial.The most important thing is some familiar old comrades in arms.
When Xu Haibao handed over the things that he had specially brought along to the high-level navy officials who came to meet, the lieutenant general also said seriously: "Xiao Xu, on behalf of the navy, I would like to express my gratitude for your contribution, and I also hope that you Can continue to support and care for the old troops.”
"Please don't worry, chief. I told the base commander earlier that I was a soldier who walked out of the base. Even though I took off this military uniform, I still remember the navy blue I wore. As long as I can help, I will definitely Will do my best!"
With such a commitment, the navy executive is also very happy.Order Zhu Xun to prepare an armed helicopter, send a special operations unit and another helicopter, and take the method of two-plane overnight escort to transport the black box of the submarine away.
Although this is a great gift from Xu Haibao to the navy, but the things are sent out from the base, and the base's contribution is naturally indispensable.It can be said that with Xu Haibao's relationship, the base will get more attention from the top management.
This kind of attention may become the priority of applying for funds and equipment in the future.For base chief Zhu Xun, this is also a benefit that is hard to find with a lantern.Perhaps, as Tian Haoming said, it is the base's luck to have Xu Haibao's "maiden's family"!
When Zhu Xun brought Xu Haibao to the cafeteria of the base, seeing the scene where drinking was already started, many base officers and soldiers came after hearing the news.For the arrival of the old comrades in the salvage team, most of them are full of joy.
It is normal for old comrades to reunite and drink two more glasses.Seeing Zhu Xun walk into the cafeteria, Liu Guorong quickly said, "Stand up!"
On the other hand, Zhu Xun, who watched this scene, also said at the right time: "Okay, sit down! I know, you are all reunited with old comrades, and you are all a little excited. But it is not early now, so be careful not to make too much noise. Night.
Another point is that you can drink alcohol, but you can't get drunk. Pay attention to the impact.I know, if I stay here, you probably won't enjoy drinking too much, so I won't be an eyesore by staying here.What's going on here, Liu Guorong, keep an eye on it! "
"Yes, base commander!"
After Zhu Xun finished speaking, Xu Haibao also called Tang Xingyou and Zhao Ji over and said, "You should have heard what the base chief said. Considering safety issues, our salvage ship cannot stay here for too long.
Before dawn, the ship must be moored in a nearby commercial port.I know that you haven't seen your old comrades in arms for a long time, so I will give you two days off.After the vacation is over, I will go back to my hometown immediately.
Another thing to note is that we are all retired soldiers who have left the base. You all need to keep in mind some disciplines and requirements of the base.What can be said and what can't be said, you must know it in your heart. "
"Okay, I will give orders later!"
"The rudder, the salvage of the ship, I will thank you, the shipping team!"
"It's okay! Anyway, there is not much time to go back and forth, just take a short rest."
"Okay, then you guys continue to drink, I'll talk to the base commander! If you need anything, call me anytime!"
Zhu Xun, who was staying next to Xu Haibao, naturally heard what Xu Haibao told the two of them.Earlier, I was worried that the salvage team members under Xu Haibao might affect the normal training of the base.Now it seems that his worries are a little unnecessary.
Even if he has already left the base, even if his identity is very different, Xu Haibao still knows that the base is a secret unit.Although it is a military force, the base is different from ordinary naval forces, and it is not easy for a salvage team to come in.
But there are some things that are difficult for Zhu Xun to say, if you don’t look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, not to mention that the senior navy officials didn’t say anything before, so Zhu Xun is naturally even more difficult to say.Now that Xu Haibao took the initiative to confess, Zhu Xun felt even more that Xu Haibao would be a man.
Before leaving the cafeteria, Xu Haibao did not forget to serve a glass of wine, and said to the officers of the diving team who came to gather with his comrades: "Captain, senior officers, I'm going to visit the base chief later, I'm afraid I won't be there tonight." Time to drink with you.
Let's have another drink sometime tomorrow.In addition, if you have no objection, I would like to take a look at the diving team.It's rare to go back to the old army, and I still trust those guys.Next time I want to come, I don’t know when it will be! "
"Okay, you have to be busy, I will wait for you at the brigade's station tomorrow!"
It is very clear that the soldier in front of him is no longer the first-class non-commissioned officer of the diving brigade back then.Even if the head of the base wanted to show some face in front of him, as the team leader, he would naturally not refuse to have more contact with Xu Haibao.
To put it simply, if you really want to talk about your natal family at the base, the diving team is Xu Haibao's natal family!
"Lao You, take it easy, you can drink, don't get drunk!"
"Don't worry, we know what's in our hearts!"
Leaving the cafeteria and coming to the base office building, apart from the base chief, other members of the base team were also present.The veterans of Xu Haibao's base were no strangers to the base leaders.
Taking this opportunity, Xu Haibao also smiled and said: "Base Chief, I didn't prepare any gifts because I came back in a hurry. If you old leaders don't mind, how about I make you a pot of tea?"
Hearing Xu Haibao's words, Zhu Xun's eyes lit up immediately and said, "Is it the kind of tea I drank at your house?"
"That's right! I also brought a little tea with me when I went to sea this time! However, the amount is not much, and the leaders will taste it slowly later."
From Zhu Xun's slightly expectant expression, everyone could see that Xu Haibao's tea should not be simple.After Xu Haibao took out a tea box from his handbag, he poured some tea from it into the teapot.
Borrowing the tea making utensils in the living room, Xu Haibao also made tea for everyone very familiarly.It seems that the level of making tea is not too superb.Just wait until the tea is brewed and poured into the cups, these leaders feel that the tea is full of fragrance.
The political commissar of the base even quickly said: "I have heard from Lao Zhu earlier that the tea you make is very memorable. It seems that today, we can also have a good time and taste the cup of excellent tea you made! "
"I don't dare to be the best! It's just that this kind of tea is hard to drink in other places except here. If the political commissar has time in the future, he might as well stay in my hometown for two days. If we have time, we will take it slowly." Tasting tea!"
"Okay! It seems that before I go next time, I have to find time to go when you are in my hometown, otherwise it will be too bad!"
After some laughing and talking, everyone also began to drink tea.To everyone's surprise, the tea Xu Haibao brewed was indeed a little different from the tea they drank in the past.Only Tian Haoming, who was sitting with him, knew why the tea was so different.
After drinking tea, Zhu Xun also said at the right time: "Haibao, I heard that you plan to invest in an island on the side of Qiongya for development?"
"Yes! This matter is under negotiation! Specifically, the island is not used for tourism development. My idea is to turn the uninhabited deserted island into a company's resident and supply base.
The base director should know that my hometown is engaged in tourism development, and it is no longer suitable for the salvage team to go to sea for trial training.If the company is built on that island, it can also avoid the attention of others.In our line of business, you have to be low-key.
In fact, another reason why I want to rent the island to build the company's resident is also to use it as a training and training center for the company's reserve team members.In the later period, I should order a few more ships.
In addition to adding salvage ships, at least one supply ship will be added.In that case, the fleet does not have to frequently stop at the ports of various countries for supplies when going to sea.Even if you need supplies, just let the supply ship dock for supplies. "
As Xu Haibao said these words, a leader of the base also said in shock: "Hey, add a salvage ship and a supply ship, and it will be no different from a small fleet. It's a big deal!"
"It's okay! In fact, some large salvage companies abroad basically have their own dedicated supply ships and escort ships. If we also have our own supply ships and escort ships this time, I believe we won't be bullied like that."
Had Xu Haibao said these words earlier, no one would have believed it.However, if the batch of gold that was transported from the salvage ship earlier was converted into RMB, the amount would be terrifying.
If we build a few more commercial ships, there will be no problem with funding.What's more, with a strange person like Xu Haibao as the boss, I believe that Xu Haibao's company should salvage more treasures from sunken ships in the future.
"Then your company will need more employees in the future?"
"It should be! I chose to build a base in Qiongya, more to deter those overseas salvage companies. If they really dare to cross the border to steal the sunken ship, I don't mind teaching them a lesson and letting them know whose territory the South China Sea belongs to.
About renting the island, I mentioned it to General Feng earlier.If I can give more discounts, I can also give the navy some training and recuperation places for the training center built by the base in the future.
Another purpose of expanding the salvage team is to go overseas more.Some things cannot be found on our domestic islands, and perhaps there will be something to be gained on uninhabited desert islands abroad.To me, there are some things more attractive than treasures! "
This may sound a little arrogant, but knowing Xu Haibao's true identity, Zhu Xun and others also know that Xu Haibao really does not worry about money.The gains from this trip to sea alone are enough for Xu Haibao to spend his entire life on food and clothing.
But things like money may turn into a bunch of numbers after reaching a certain amount.For a monk like Xu Haibao, not to mention treating money like dung.But some treasures are indeed more important than money in his eyes!
