Development of productivity started in 1981

Chapter 123 Flying to Naypyidaw (asking for monthly tickets)
At around 1982 o'clock in the morning on July 7, 20, Wang Jiankun woke up in his villa in Shanghai. He slept so late because he arrived here too late the night before.

Last night, on his way to Shanghai, Wang Jiankun upgraded six mobile base stations on the Yangtze River route and replaced many parts.

The upgraded base station transmission encryption method has also been improved, making it more difficult to crack. At the same time, the communication capacity has been increased to support more terminals to be used simultaneously.

Because he had to climb to the top of the mountain to update the base station, he arrived in Shanghai after 11 o'clock yesterday evening. The boat he was driving did not dock at the Shilipu Wharf, but turned into the Suzhou River and docked at the wharf behind the villa.

At this time, Experiment No. 2 was moored at the dock behind the villa. After Wang Jiankun arrived at the villa, he did a quick inspection and then fell asleep.

The villa is cleaned every week by people hired by Ding Shengli, so the master bedroom can be used at any time.

It was cloudy outside at this time. After opening the window, I found that the air humidity was very high and the wind speed was also quite strong. It seemed that a typhoon might be coming.

Wang Jiankun came to the underground control center and checked the forecast information recently sent by the forecast station in the open sea, and found that a typhoon was indeed coming.

After comparing the data from the previous and next few days, Wang Jiankun roughly knew that the typhoon was expected to land on the coast of Fujian tonight or tomorrow morning.

Wang Jiankun originally planned to go to Jinshan Wharf today to see the development of Sihai Fisheries and then set off for Hong Kong and then transfer to Myanmar.

There is a typhoon about to land. Although he plans to fly a Y-1 transport plane to the vicinity of Hong Kong Island and can fly to an altitude of about 12000, the wind and waves on the sea should be very strong now, and it may not be possible to take off smoothly, so he can only wait for the typhoon to pass before setting off.

Since the typhoon was coming, all the ships operating at sea would have to return to the port, so he sent a message to Liao Jun, Ding Shengli and Wang Huawei, asking them to notify all the employees of Sihai Fisheries that he would treat everyone to dinner in the evening and asked the three of them to discuss where to eat.

Currently, Sihai Fisheries has more than 40 full-time employees, roughly divided into three teams.

The offshore fishing team is managed by Wang Huawei and Ye Yaodong.

The fish stalls on the shore are responsible for processing and sorting the caught fish. A seafood processing plant will be built later and will be managed by Liao Jun.

There is also the seafood sales team, which is managed by Ding Shengli.

After receiving the message, the three of them replied quickly, saying that they would discuss it and then tell Wang Jiankun.

After arranging this little matter, he first went to the boat at the backyard dock to move dozens of kilograms of copper, manganese, zinc, chromium, nickel and other elements, and then went to the basement to expand the space below by more than 100 cubic meters.

Some of the extracted iron, aluminum, magnesium and other elements were taken out and brought to the front yard, where they were combined with the elements just moved from the ship using super powers to form a Crown sedan.

Wang Jiankun has seen dozens of this model on the road here, so he made this one. It has been manufactured in Hong Kong before, and the drawings have also been optimized, so it is very quick to manufacture and can be used as soon as it is made.

This car will stay here from now on, and Ding Shengli and his colleagues can use it when they need to drive it out as a storefront. After all, he is in sales and faces some powerful big clients. Having a decent car can save him a lot of trouble.

After he built the car, he went to renovate the basement he had just excavated, modified the entrance and exit, and expanded the passage to make it easier for him to move things.

In the future, he will store more elements in the basement so that he can use them whenever he needs them. This place is close to the estuary, so he will definitely set out from here more often in the future.

Currently, he has Hong Kong Island documents that allow him to go directly to many Commonwealth countries. So if he wants to go abroad in the future, he can first fly to land near Hong Kong Island, and then travel to all parts of the world from there.

After the renovation of the basement was completed, he received a message from Liao Jun and three others, telling him to prepare for dinner at a restaurant called Courtyard Renjia in Jinshan that night.

Wang Jiankun then went back upstairs to wash and change his clothes, then drove the Crown sedan to the fish stall managed by Liao Jun.

It was drizzling at this time, and the wind made the leaves rustle. There were very few pedestrians on the road. Wang Jiankun had ridden his motorcycle back and forth many times before, so he drove quickly to the fish stall at Jinshan Wharf without looking at the map.

He parked his car directly in front of the fish stall. Because of the typhoon, there were not many people on the road and many fish stalls were closed.

Wang Jiankun honked the horn and rolled down the window. Liao Jun and the other two were wondering why such a luxurious car was parked in front of the fish stall, but they didn't expect that the driver was Wang Jiankun.

The moment the four "bosses" saw Wang Jiankun, they stood up and called him at the same time.

"Hurry up and get me an umbrella to keep the rain out. I don't have an umbrella in my car."

Ding Shengli was the one who saw the opportunity quickly. He picked up the umbrella behind him and ran over while the other three were still looking for umbrellas.

After getting off the car, Wang Jiankun went into the fish stall with Ding Shengli. He took the dry towel handed to him by Liao Jun and wiped the water droplets on his body.

"It's a typhoon, you know that?"

"Yes, the wind started to pick up in the East China Sea the day before yesterday, so those small fishing boats didn't go out to sea. Our boat is big, so it didn't come back until the night before yesterday. However, the wind and waves were strong, and the fishing conditions were good. Our four fishing boats all caught schools of yellow croaker." Ye Yaodong replied.

"It's good that you're all back. Now that we're entering the typhoon season, you should pay special attention to weather information. Remember to check the information from our special forecasting machine."

"Well, we watch it on time every day. Our forecast is sometimes earlier and more accurate than the broadcast. The day before yesterday, we analyzed the weather information we received and judged that the typhoon was still relatively far away. The wind and waves in the open sea allowed our ship to operate, so I persisted for a whole day."

"It's still a little dangerous. Typhoons change quickly, and we can't guarantee that the forecast is 100% accurate. We should come back a little earlier in the future. Our fishing industry doesn't rely on that little time to make a fortune."

"Okay, boss. From now on, we will return to Hong Kong earlier when we encounter bad weather conditions." Seeing him say this, Ye Yaodong replied gratefully.

"Okay, tell me about the fishing team first."

"After we received three new S-7 fishing boats on July 1, we started fishing in the Zhoushan fishing ground in the East China Sea under the guidance of veteran fishermen, and continued until the day before yesterday when we returned," said Ye Yaodong.

"You didn't stop at the shore? You were fishing at sea all the time? That's too much!"

"Boss, you don't know how good the fishery resources here are. Our fishing boats are advanced. The people on our boats don't want to waste time going back and forth to the port. Anyway, we have Wang Huawei's fresh-catch boat to transport fish and supplies back and forth, so we stay at sea to fish."

"Then we still need to set a maximum fishing time limit. This S-25 fishing boat is still a bit small. It must be inconvenient for you to stay at sea for a long time!"

"That's much better than the boats we have back home. I worked on a big boat for the fishing team there for a few years. The conditions there were much worse than the boats we have now, so we didn't feel it was hard."

"Okay, you need to pay attention to the condition of the people on the boat. If anything is wrong, send them back to shore immediately, especially those who have never been out to sea before."

"Okay, boss. I'll pay attention. Just let Brother Liao tell us about the catch."

"Boss, in the past 10 days, the four S-4 fishing boats have caught a total of more than 25 kilograms of yellow croaker, more than 9700 tons of cuttlefish, and more than 200 tons of other valuable fish." Liao Jun took over the conversation.

"Oh? We've caught almost 5 tons of yellow croaker. The price hasn't changed much, right?"

"Nothing has changed, boss. Although it is still the yellow croaker season, I don't know why other fishing boats are rarely able to catch yellow croaker this year. Even if they do catch some, it's only a few dozen or so, much less than last year. So the price is still very strong this year and has not dropped because of the flood season."

"Oh? That might be because the fishing was too intense in the past few years, causing the population to drop too quickly. The reproduction volume cannot keep up with the fishing volume. Then tell me how much money you have sold in total these days."

"Okay, boss. I'll give you the report." "No need to give a detailed account. Leave that to Pan Hua's people. Just tell me how much of each of the large-volume items were sold." Wang Jiankun interrupted Liao Jun who was about to take out the account book to give a detailed account.

"Well, we mainly sell yellow croaker at the market ourselves, and also supply some fixed restaurants, so the price is relatively good, a total of more than 24000 yuan. Cuttlefish is mainly wholesaled to some vendors, and the proportion of sales to the market is relatively small. The total sales are more than 24 yuan. The other fish sold for a total of more than 3 yuan. The total sales are less than 30 yuan."

"Well, it's not bad. The fishery resources here are rich. We need to work together in all three directions."

"Ding Shengli, your sales team needs to explore more markets in the future. You should also take the initiative to explore the market in Jiangsu Province. You should set up sales points in places where the market is active. If you don't have enough cars, send me a message in advance. If you need ships, contact the Yangtze River Shipping Team. Their ships are equipped with freezers."

"Okay, boss. I'm already working hard to train sales people. Currently, we're mainly focusing on the Shanghai market. There are still many blank areas that we haven't explored yet. I'll go to Jiangsu Province next month to look for local talents to open up the market."

"I won't go into details about how to do it. You just need to speed up the training of your sales team. At the same time, you should also pay attention to maintaining the brand of our Sihai Fisheries. Seafood that is not fresh due to problems during transportation must not be provided to customers."

"Understood, boss. I will definitely pay attention to it."

"Ye Yaodong, Wang Huawei, how is the training of your vice captain going?"

"At present, the eight deputy captains on the four S-25s can basically fly, but they are not yet proficient in entering and leaving the port and handling some special situations. It will probably take until the end of August before they can independently fly this fishing boat."

"Okay then. I'll have the Four Seas Fisheries Headquarters prepare four more S-8 fishing boats by the end of August, and four more by the end of September. Remember to increase recruitment and training efforts for subsequent crew members."

"Okay, it's easy to find crew members here. Our Sihai Fishery offers better wages than others, and we also provide a basic salary for those who don't go out to sea on weekdays, so it's easy to recruit ordinary boatmen."

"Well, for those boatmen who are savvy and have a relatively high level of education, remember to let them try to train in the direction of captains. You should also strengthen your studies. Take a look at the navigation materials I gave you during your breaks. In the future, you will have larger fishing boats to drive, and you will definitely have to work in the deep sea."

"Wang Huawei, how about the seafood collection ship? Is your deputy captain ready to drive it?"

"It's OK for him to drive. After all, our ship has a high level of automation. But when entering and leaving the port, looking at the nautical charts and in some high sea conditions, I don't dare to drive it. It will take about another two months of training before I dare to let him drive independently!"

"Well, it's not too late. We can send another seafood collection ship at the end of September. After all, there will be 9 S-1 fishing boats by then, and your seafood collection ship will be too busy to handle it."

"Okay, then I'll let him practice more."

"Liao Jun, what's the progress of the previous proposal to buy land from the government to build a processing plant?"

"Boss, we are still discussing it. Those people see that I am a local and are dragging their feet and don't want to approve it. Why don't you ask Mr. Pan to meet with the government officials or send a representative to negotiate. I heard that if the Hong Kong businessmen come themselves, the land can be approved quickly."

"Have you reported this situation to Mr. Pan?"

"Not yet. I've been waiting for it, and I asked people to use their connections and gifts but it didn't get approved. I just found out these days that they don't dare to approve it for me, saying that the policy is difficult to deal with."

"You! You're wasting time. Report to Mr. Pan if you have anything to do in the future. Although he's far away in Hong Kong, it's still very quick for him to come to Shanghai. He can arrive on the same day by plane. If you had told him earlier, he might have already approved it."

"Boss, you are right to criticize me. I will send a message to Mr. Pan and ask him to come over."

"Go ahead. Now that the land is approved, build the factory quickly. Let Mr. Pan get the processing equipment."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

I had asked Liao Jun to take care of the land issue before, and if there were any problems, I would ask Pan Hua to solve them. I didn't expect that he would delay it for so long. I don't know if he was afraid that someone from Hong Kong would take his job away or what.

Wang Jiankun didn't have time to follow up on things here before, so the construction of the processing plant was delayed.

So he also sent a message to Pan Hua, asking him to devote more energy to Sihai Fisheries' business in Shanghai, or find a capable assistant to coordinate the management here.

At present, Liao Jun, Ding Shengli, Wang Huawei and Ye Yaodong were probably forced to take on the task, and their management ability can only be described as average. Wang Jiankun himself is also groping in the dark, so there must be a leading professional to coordinate the affairs of Sihai Fisheries and move towards the goal that Wang Jiankun wants to achieve.

After dealing with some problems and beating up a few people, Wang Jiankun asked Ding Shengli to drive the Crown car and take him and three other people to the dinner place in the evening.

"Boss, this car is so high-end. It seems to be better than our district leader's car. It must cost a lot of money, right?" Ding Shengli asked Wang Jiankun while driving.

"This car is just average in Japan, but it's considered pretty good in China. Including taxes, it probably costs more than 30 RMB."

"Oh my god, it's so expensive?"

"So many of us work hard for a month and we can only earn enough to buy one car."

"Yeah! How can such a small car cost more than many big ships?"

"How can a boat be compared to a car in size? A boat is just a big shell, but the equipment inside is nothing special. Look at the buttons on the front, and there's air conditioning coming out of this side. It's much more advanced than a boat."

The three people in the back seat lamented the price of the car and discussed the various equipment on the sedan.

"If you work well in the future, you can also drive this kind of car. Many people in Japan drive cars to get off work. If you work hard, you can also do this."

"I dare not think about it. If I earn enough money, I can buy a boat. Buying a car is not practical." Ye Yaodong said. He has a strong desire to buy a boat.

"We don't dare to think about it. When we make money, we will buy a house first, and then we will be satisfied with a motorcycle." This is what Liao Jun and Wang Huawei both mean.

"Boss, can I drive this car when I go to meet clients in the future?" Ding Shengli did not say what he thought, but he had seen the world and must be more open-minded, so he took the opportunity to make a request.

"Yes, this car will be mainly used by the person in charge from Hong Kong in the future. If your sales department wants to expand the market and contact major customers, you can borrow it. If our Sihai Fishery develops in the future, we will buy a few more cars."

"Okay, boss. Now that you've said that, I'm more motivated."

In the evening, Wang Jiankun had a good drink with more than 40 regular employees of Sihai Fisheries. He described the future to these people who were temporarily brought together and gave some red envelopes as incentives to those who reported outstanding performance.

In the next two days, Wang Jiankun stayed in Shanghai, familiarized himself with some of the main roads in the city, and made a map in his mind.

Then he went to inspect the shipyard here to see what technology was used to build different ships, because he wanted to build a shipyard near his uncle, so that he could train shipbuilding workers there and build large ships step by step from small ships.

On the afternoon of July 7, Wang Jiankun drove Experiment No. 23 out of the villa and headed towards the East China Sea. He then built a Y-2 transport plane on the sea and flew low to the vicinity of Hong Kong under the navigation of the forecast station.

Perhaps because the typhoon had just passed, Wang Jiankun did not see any ships on the sea while flying at low altitude from the East China Sea to the South China Sea. The few large ships that were scattered were also avoided by Wang Jiankun in advance with the warning of the forecast station.

After landing in Hong Kong, Wang Jiankun met with Pan Hua and Huang Kun and listened to their reports on the progress of their respective businesses.

Then on July 7, Wang Jiankun boarded a plane from Hong Kong to Naypyidaw, the capital of Myanmar.
