What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 103 Pen Pal Exchange
Quangang, Fujian Province.

In the port reception room, an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a waterproof jacket, shook his head vigorously:

"No way, absolutely impossible."

"Those islands of yours are simply formed by seafloor movement and volcanic ash. What does this geological condition have to do with oil? And you claim to produce tens of millions of tons annually? That's bullshit!"

Seeing the expert's confident words, Zhang Jun was also a little shaken.

A domestic offshore oil exploration team's ship happened to dock at Quangang, so he came to consult the most experienced expert and asked whether there was any possibility of oil deposits on the islands in Fuzhou Province.

However, the other party almost thought it was a joke and just kept shaking his head.

Perhaps knowing that Zhang Jun knew nothing about geography, the white-haired expert also took the risk:

"There is definitely oil on the seabed in your area, but it's definitely not on the island. If there really was an oil field with an annual output of tens of millions of tons, it would have been discovered long ago. And it has so many accompanying characteristics that it's impossible not to have noticed.

How should I put it…it’s just not possible from a geographical point of view, it just can’t exist!”

Zhang Jun quickly poured the other person some tea to calm him down, and then he carefully continued to ask:

"Besides Fujian Province, what about other islands in the South China Sea?"

The white-haired expert sighed and continued:
"We have been searching for oil since the 60s and have explored offshore, and foreigners have also explored for it before.

At least I don’t know of any island with such oil fields. If there really is one, then geography will overturn something.”

Zhang Jun: “…”

How did it get to the point of overthrowing geography? Is it that scary?

But he still didn't give up, thinking of what Tang Wen said:
“Could there be a possibility that current technology cannot detect or extract?”

This time the old expert didn't say anything, but just rolled his eyes.

He just couldn't understand why a cadre from the Fisheries Department could believe such nonsense.

Even if it is really possible, it doesn't mean it will happen just because you say it does.

Zhang Jun was a little disappointed when he found that he couldn't get anything out of him. Could it be that Tang Wen was really a "hypothesis"?
He could only put the matter aside for the time being. The old expert he asked this time was an elite who had been rehired, and he would definitely not say anything nonsense.

He has already submitted his intention and design plan to purchase a ship from Gaijin Shipyard, but he doesn't know how long it will take to be approved.

Zhang Jun returned to the unit and found the director in his office.

When he saw him, the director didn't waste any words and directly returned the purchase request he had submitted earlier to him, but added the word "agree" and a signature at the end.

"Director, do you agree?"

Zhang Jun just submitted it a day ago, so we should at least organize a meeting to discuss it, right?
However, the director said with a serious face:

"This concerns the development of our fishery administration work and the protection of fishermen's interests, so how can we delay it?

I've already inquired with Goose City, and they've confirmed that Gaijin Shipyard's quality and pricing aren't false. They've approved the purchase of two... Hashidate III-class fishery patrol boats. Of course, the aircraft is a must."

In fact, the bureau was also quite shocked when it received the information brought by Zhang Jun, and directly called the Echeng Fisheries Administration to verify it.

After confirming that there was nothing fishy, ​​the ship purchase proposal was naturally passed quickly.

Zhang Jun: "Yes, but there are still two million left..."

The director shook his head.

Zhang Jun's face suddenly turned bitter. "Six million per ship is already very cheap, and they also give me a 50 water cannon. I can't bargain any more."

The director also looked troubled. "You know our situation. Ten million is already our limit. Let's put it this way. We still have four old ships that are of little use. We should sell them for two million." Zhang Jun: "Director! The newest of those ships is fifteen years old, and the oldest is almost thirty. Who would buy this stuff?"

The hulls of those old fishery administration vessels are too old, otherwise the authorities would not approve the money to replace them. Even fishermen will not use such old vessels.

But if it is sold to a shipbreaking yard, it will not sell for more than two million.

And buying a boat is not the end of the story. It requires daily maintenance and personnel expenses...

"Director, why don't we just buy one boat? I can't seem to afford two."

The director shook his head again:
"We have to buy it first. Only when we have a boat can we afford to maintain it. Does Gaijin have any other needs? Can we discuss it?"

Zhang Jun thought for a long time, and finally told Tang Wen that he wanted to rent an uninhabited island for oil extraction.

They are not in charge of inhabited islands, but the Fisheries Department has the power to deal with uninhabited islands.

If Tang Wen really wanted to rent one or two islands, a few tens of thousands would be a small amount of money, and he might even make a lot of money.

The director also showed the same expression after hearing this:

"What, oil?!"

……

Full-Band Blocking Interference is a novel disguised as science fiction, but in fact reflects the social status quo at that time. It was written by an electrician named Liu and published in 2009.

The core idea of ​​the work is that around 2000, the country developed controlled nuclear fusion, and then suffered a global siege. At the critical moment, it used a spacecraft to crash into the sun, damaging the electronic equipment of the multinational coalition forces, forcibly narrowing the gap in electronic technology to the same level, and then turned defeat into victory.

Note three points: In 2000, under siege and with enemies all over the world, we unexpectedly gained the upper hand and won with extreme thinking.

If this book had been published in 96, the response would have been even stronger.

Any reader will be able to empathize with the siege described in the book. For people today, this is not a science fiction plot, but a reality that could happen at any time.

Then, when the overall situation is lagging behind, we can take some extreme measures to gain an advantage, achieve a surprise victory, and turn defeat into victory:

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it will take a long time to catch up with the international level. During the gap period, we can only pin our hopes on "surprising" and "great effort".

Arsenal ships and helicopter attack ship strike groups meet these two elements very well. The technical difficulty is not out of reach, the construction speed is not slow, and the price is not expensive.

Tang Wen temporarily put aside the updates of "Urban War God" and started uploading "Full Band Blocking Interference" instead, and made minor modifications to the plot inside.

The original work does not mention much about naval battles, but he must include arsenal ships and helicopter attack ships to make these two terms well-known.

This book will not only be updated on the BBS, Tang Wen will also publish it at his own expense and find ways to publish it on other forums. In short, he wants to cover it with all his might.

With soft-text advertising, Giant's promotional methods should not be bad, but there is still one area where it can improve.

After uploading part of the novel, Tang Wen took out some white paper and began to write letters to his pen pal who was much older than him.

All kinds of assumptions about arsenal ship tactics in later generations were stuffed in, localized and tanned, and then adaptively modified according to the current situation to emphasize some key points.

Then there are other opinions such as purchasing the Sovremenny class and buying the Varyag, trying to appear fair.

Finally, he stuffed the arsenal ship modification drawings that Tang Yi had made earlier into the bag and folded it up.

As a result, the so-called "letter" was as thick as a fist and could not be stuffed into the envelope, so it had to be wrapped like a big brick.

Tang Wen believed that Mr. Yan must have many more pen pals, and they would definitely spread these views.
