Chapter 184 Trouble with Shipping Company

Han Yu is really busy, and is maintaining 001 with Captain Wang, Zhu Baogen, Master Zhou and Liang Xiaoyu.

Since 001 was refitted and upgraded and put into use, it has performed tasks such as rescue, escort, emergency rescue and disaster relief, combating water bandit ships, and assisting port supervision and customs law enforcement.

The operation of such a heavy load is a big test for the equipment and the engineers. The normal operation of the equipment cannot be guaranteed by daily basic maintenance alone. If the ship is to be put into the dry dock, the hull and the main equipment of the whole ship will be damaged. and system for a comprehensive inspection and maintenance.

And one month later it will be 1990, and after New Year's Day, the eel hunting battle will be ushered in. To play a role, 001 must maintain the best condition.

Boss Wu's Bailonggang Shipyard is now called Linghai Shipyard. It has moved to the riverside and built a dry dock. There are no ships in the dock these days.

After discussing with Captain Wang, Han Yu took advantage of this precious opportunity to drive in 001, which had just assisted the customs in cracking down on smuggling, and raced against time for maintenance.

"Salted fish, there are three cracks in the thruster, should it be welded or replaced."

"Does Curry have a spare?"

"Have."

"Replace it with a new one. This one is from the past. I don't know how many years it has been used, and I don't know how many times it has been welded."

"Let's replace the rudder as well. The rudder needs to be welded more frequently."

"Row."

Han Yu held the dock maintenance project list and recorded the spare parts to be replaced.

Some work theory is important, but practice is more important.

For example, many of the people who use the machine are illiterate, but after a period of use, they will be repaired after disassembly and disassembly, and even understand some basic principles without a teacher.

Zhu Baogen is now a qualified engineer. While he was busy tapping the rust on the bottom of the ship, he looked at Liang Xiaoyu who was cleaning up the mud in the valve box at the bottom of the ship and asked, "Little fish, how is your father's business these few days?"

"It's pretty good. I made more than 30 yuan yesterday. There were many boats on the river the day before yesterday, so I made 76 yuan!"

"Have you got a license to sell cigarettes?"

"In the past, there were no shops on the shore, and it was difficult to obtain a business license. The tobacco company did not issue a certificate. Now there are shops on the shore, with a business license, and the tobacco certificate has also been obtained."

Xu's work of poverty alleviation and caring for the widowed elderly has been very successful.

Under his witness, Liang Xiaoyu's mother became Lao Qian's goddaughter, and Liang Xiaoyu became Lao Qian's grandson.

Lao Qian first paid for Liang Xiaoyu's family to buy the agricultural machinery warehouse of the second team of Bailonggang, so that the Liang family had a home on the shore.

Immediately afterwards, he paid for a small two-stroke gasoline engine and installed it on Liang Xiaoyu's small fishing boat.

Then, taking advantage of working in a supply and marketing cooperative for so many years, he took Liang Xiaoyu's father, Liang Youcai, to wholesale small commodities, buy pork at a pig slaughtering station, wholesale salt at a salt company, wholesale sugar, tobacco and alcohol at a sugar, tobacco and alcohol company and a tobacco company... …

Liang Xiaoyu's father had just started selling on the river in a small fishing boat. Considering that the small shop could not obtain a business license on the boat, he simply opened a small shop in his new home not far from the ship lock.

And Liang Xiaoyu's mother wants to treat Lao Qian as her own father, and Liang Xiaoyu's father wants to treat Lao Qian as a real father-in-law.

It is worth mentioning that the owners and crews of water transport value time more than anything else. After all, an extra trip is money.If you lack any daily necessities, you can buy them on the water. As long as the price is not too expensive, you will definitely not go to the shore.

Moreover, his family also opened a small shop by the ship lock, and his mother was looking after the shop on the shore, so even if they went ashore to buy, it would not be too far away.

His family sells a lot of products, from firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea to washing powder, soap, toothpaste, drying racks, plastic buckets, pork, eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, tobacco and alcohol, and even fruits and vegetables. The business is getting better and better. Do better.

Under Captain Wang's proposal, his family also plans to sell some diesel engine parts.

Earning tens or even hundreds of dollars a day, it is conceivable that his family will soon tear down the warehouse and rebuild it.

When Laoqian eats lunch, he even suggests that one step is in place, or not build it, just build a two-story small western-style building!

Han Yu was a little envious that a poor family turned around like this, and their lives were flourishing.

Thinking about Lao Qian having a daughter, son-in-law and grandson, and not having to go to a nursing home in his later years, Han Yu felt very relieved, and couldn't help joking: "Xiaoyu, you can no longer call me Xianyugan, but call me Uncle Xianyu."

"You are only a few months older than me, why should I call you Uncle Ni?"

"I call you grandpa Uncle Qian, and my seniority is higher than yours. If you call me Xianyugan again, wouldn't it be no big deal?"

Captain Wang laughed and said, "Yes, Xiaoyu, according to your seniority, you should be called Uncle Xianyu."

Xu Suo let Xiaoyu's mother be Laoqian's goddaughter after careful consideration. First, Laoqian was old enough to be Xiaoyu's grandfather, so it was inappropriate for Xiaoyu to be Laoqian's godson.

The second is that Xiaoyu has a father, so it is not appropriate to ask for a godfather.

Considering that Xiaoyu's grandfather is still alive, it would not be good for Xiaoyu's father to worship Lao Qian as his godfather, because then Xiaoyu would have two grandfathers.

And Xiaoyu's grandfather passed away long ago, and his grandfather's family used to be a fisherman, and his mother lost contact with her natal family a long time ago, so it is appropriate for Xiaoyu's mother to worship Lao Qian as her godfather.

What's more, Xiaoyu is still young, and Laoqian is already 63, and his health is getting worse day by day.Letting Xiaoyu be Lao Qian's godson means that Xiaoyu has to bear the responsibility of supporting the elderly that he shouldn't have at his age.

It can be said that everyone is happy to let Xiaoyu's parents take care of him.

The people from Xiaoyu's family didn't disappoint Xu Suo either. Don't mention how good Laoqian was. After buying the warehouse, there were a few rooms apart, and they left the best one for Laoqian.

Lao Qian doesn't live on the barge anymore, he has already moved into Xiao Yu's house, and cooks every day as if he was commuting to get off work.

Lao Qian doesn't usually fish very much, and whenever he has time, he helps Xiaoyu's mother look after the store.

Yesterday, I took Xiaoyu's grandfather for more than ten kilometers on a bicycle to find an old Chinese doctor to help Xiaoyu's grandfather treat his sore leg.

They are truly a family now.

It's as if he and his senior sister have become a family.

Han Yu teased Xiaoyu, but he couldn't help but think of his senior sister, and subconsciously looked ashore.

Because the senior sister called in the morning and said that she would drive a small Qingqi to pick him up to Binjiang in the afternoon.

As for the next overhaul of 001, the project will be determined first today, and the rest of the work can be handed over to Captain Wang and Lao Zhu.

However, I didn't wait for the senior sister for the time being, but I waited for Xu Suo's call first.

"Salted fish, salted fish, received a reply."

"Received, Xu Suo please tell me."

"You and Captain Wang put aside the work you are doing, wash your hands and go back to the office."

"Is something wrong?"

"It's okay, what do I call you to come back, hurry up, I'll wait for you."

"Yes!"

Han Yu called Captain Wang, washed his hands and went ashore to return to the barge.

When I rushed to the meeting room on the second floor, there were actually five people sitting in it. One looked like a big leader, one was Political Commissar Ding, and the other was Director Ge of the Transportation Bureau. The other two were extremely familiar.

One is Manager Jiang of the shipping company, and the other is Fan Changjiang, the current tugboat captain of the shipping company.

"County Gu, this is Comrade Xianyu, the youngest policeman in our office. This is Captain Wang, a retired cadre from the shipping company."

Xu Sanye took the main seat as usual, took the cigarette from Director Ge, and continued to introduce: "Salted fish, Captain Wang, this is our Deputy County Chief Gu who is in charge of traffic in Linghai."

The deputy county magistrate actually came, there must be something big.

Han Yu settled down, stood at attention and saluted, "Hello, County Magistrate Gu."

Captain Wang has retired long ago, let alone a deputy county magistrate, even a deputy mayor will be fine.

What's more, working in the Yanjiang police station, I have seen so many big leaders, and the deputy division level is not ranked at all.

He nodded slightly, and looked at the leader of the old unit with a puzzled expression.

Xu Sanye didn't like procrastination, so he asked the two to sit down, and said sideways: "Manager Jiang, Captain Fan, and Captain Wang are your old colleagues, and Xianyu is a child of your shipping company. I don't need to introduce any more, let's start officially. Let me tell you what happened first."

Manager Jiang knew that although Xu Sanye was not the chief of the Public Security Bureau, he was even more powerful than the Chief of Public Security Bureau. He said with a bitter face, "Xu Suo, we didn't want to trouble you here. County Chief Gu and Bureau Ge asked us to come together."

"Come on, let's talk business."

Xu Sanye raised his arm to look at his watch, and said casually: "I just helped the customs arrest dozens of smugglers and seized millions of smuggled cigarettes. Director Tang of the customs not only invited me to dinner, but also planned to sponsor us in the bureau." A Santana, I can't keep him waiting."

Deputy County Magistrate Gu felt a little sour, coughed dryly, and urged: "Manager Jiang, I also have a meeting tonight, hurry up."

"Ok."

Manager Jiang regained his composure, hurriedly took out his notebook from his briefcase, and told about the troubles encountered by the shipping company.

"Xu Suo, Lao Wang, isn't there a coal mine in Xuzhou in our county? The coal used by the power plants in the county and several enterprises has been transported by our shipping company for so many years. It solves the needs of the county. The coal issue has also solved the livelihood of many employees in our company.”

Linghai does not have coal resources, but Xuzhou City does.

Many years ago, many areas without coal resources, including Binjiang, went to Xuzhou to open mines.

Zhang Erxiao's father used to be an employee of the county coal company, and died in an accident while mining coal.

The well-known reporter Wang was also an employee of the Sigang Coal Company in the early days. He went to Xuzhou to dig coal at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

But he was self-taught and wrote good articles. He was first transferred back to the Propaganda Department of the Sigang County Party Committee, and later he was admitted to university with his own efforts. After graduation, he was hired by Binjiang People's Broadcasting Station.

Xu Sanye had presided over the county's public security work, and even helped a shipping company solve a huge theft case. He knew these situations very well, so he knocked on the table: "Get to the point!"

Manager Jiang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "It used to be a good business to run once a month. But in the past few years, I can't run away, and the more I run, the more I lose. This year's situation is even less optimistic, because helping the coal company go Xuzhou pulled coal and lost 10,000+ yuan, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the wages of the employees cannot be paid.”

To pull coal in Xuzhou, you have to go through the Grand Canal!
Han Yu realized what trouble the shipping company had encountered, and couldn't help sighing secretly.

In the first half of the year, Xu Sanye inspected countless boats to fight against water bandits. He collected a lot of clues about crimes on the water by asking crew members from all corners of the country. Why are shipping companies losing money.

Manager Jiang didn't know what Xu Sanye was thinking, and said with a sad face: "As long as our fleet goes to Xuzhou to pull coal, it will be blackmailed by the 'tiger team' on the canal. Twice at least, once when we go, and once when we come back." Once, sometimes four or five times.

The gangsters who blackmailed us used cargo transportation as a cover. They formed a fleet of scattered individual ships, anchored at a unit in some places, and specifically troubled our fleets of state-owned enterprises on the canal. "

Xu Sanye picked up his pen, opened his notebook, and asked coldly, "How are they bothering you?"

"In January this year, our fleet passed Suqianshi and sailed in the same direction as a local 'tiger team'. They deliberately deviated from the channel and rammed our fleet. Although we took evasive measures, the two ships approached. We got too close and we still collided."

Manager Jiang took a deep breath, and continued: "Only one of their boats has a deformed railing, and the accident was completely caused by their driver on duty, but they surrounded a dozen people indiscriminately. The cables worth more than 1000 yuan were taken away, and then they ran to the cab of the tugboat, threatened Captain Fan, and asked us to pay [-] yuan in compensation."

"Did you pay?" Xu Sanye asked.

Captain Fan raised his head and said helplessly, "There are so many of them. We dare not report the case or delay the ship's schedule. There is nothing we can do. In the end, we paid [-] yuan."

There is not only the Grand Canal, but also a lake in Suqian. The economic development is backward. The Suqian police are poorer than the Linghai police. It is estimated that there are not many contract policemen and joint defense members. It is very difficult to rely on their little police force to take care of the water. normal.

Moreover, the security management of the canal is relatively chaotic. One side of the river belongs to this county, and the other side of the river belongs to that county. It is impossible to tell whose jurisdiction it belongs to at the junction of several counties or even several cities.

Realizing that they were in big trouble, Xu Sanye asked in a low voice, "Is there anything else?"

"Have."

Manager Jiang offered a circle of cigarettes, lit it and continued: "In February, our fleet went to Xuzhou to pull coal. After entering the territory of Pizhou, the 'Tiger Team' intentionally anchored the ship on the main channel. We couldn't dodge it in time. , accidentally collided.

Their ship did not cause any damage, but more than a dozen crew members on the ship and individual crew members on nearby ships came at once, indiscriminately, and beat up more than a dozen employees including Captain Fan, and then asked for compensation The 'potential loss' is 2 yuan, otherwise we will not be allowed to leave. "

Xu Sanye asked sullenly, "Did you pay?

"There are so many of them, our people are all injured, and the fleet has to pass by there every month. At that time, the deputy manager of our company, Lao Zhang, was also on board. He really had no choice but to pay [-] yuan. .”

"Go on."

……

Manager Jiang said it together, which sounded outrageous.

As long as they go to pull coal once, they will be blackmailed twice or even three or four times, and sometimes the crew members will even be beaten.

The most serious one was last month when their fleet loaded with more than 3000 tons of coal was sailing in Pizhou, and was followed by a seriously overloaded individual ship carrying more than 130 tons.

Due to the large number of ships and the high density of ships on that voyage, the fleet of the shipping company slowed down, while the following individual ships were still traveling at the same speed.

Because of severe overload and speed, its bow hit the stern of the last barge in the shipping company's fleet.

Individual ship sunk!

Although the responsibility for this accident should all be attributed to the individual ship, seven or eight people from the owner of the shipwreck and nearby individual ship owners came all at once, first beat Captain Fan, and then demanded compensation for the loss of the cargo.

Captain Fan didn't want to swallow his anger anymore, and after landing, he asked an employee to report to the local port supervisor quietly, and asked the local law enforcement officers to handle the accident.

However, relying on the support of local forces, that group did not listen to the law enforcement officers at all, and did not let the ship go.

Involving water traffic accidents, the police are useless.

Manager Jiang Xingye rushed over, and the trustee searched all the relevant local departments to no avail. Finally, he paid 15 yuan in compensation, and the fleet was able to return.

If you make a trip and pay for a trip, the shipping company will not be able to pay for it even if it has much money.

Deputy county magistrate Gu stubbed out the cigarette butt, and said solemnly: "Comrade Sanye, I know this is not your business, but now the shipping company is seriously losing money, so I don't dare and can't go to Xuzhou to pull coal.

But if it is not done, the power plant will have no coal to burn, and the power will be cut off.Dozens of enterprises in the county will have no coal available, which will affect normal production.

It is not an exaggeration to say that even the employees of several textile factories cannot take a shower after get off work, because the enterprises use boilers to heat water, and the boilers cannot run out of coal. "

Xu Sanye didn't express his opinion, but asked in a low voice: "Manager Jiang, Captain Fan, did the extortion mainly happen in the section from Siyang to Pizhou?"

Manager Jiang quickly said: "Yes, the 'Tiger Team' mainly operates in that area. They are blatant and have no scruples."

If you encounter such a thing on the Yangtze River, you can attack it through the water branch.

Even if you are not in the waters of the Binjiang River, you can ask the Fish Bureau to report to your superiors, and cooperate with the brothers along the river to fight against the Water Branch of the Public Security Bureau.

But every time the shipping company was extorted and blackmailed, it happened on the Grand Canal, and Xu Sanye couldn't do it no matter how much he tried.

Political Commissar Ding, who had been silent all this time, raised his head and said in a low voice: "Major Gu, there are many coal ships on the river. There are sea ships that bring coal from the north, and even ocean ships import coal from foreign countries. It is said that the price is no more than that from Xuzhou. The coal brought back from Xuzhou is expensive, and the quality is even better than the coal we brought back from Xuzhou.”

"Are you saying that instead of pulling coal, you can buy coal from other places?"

"It's probably the best solution at hand."

Deputy County Magistrate Gu looked around the crowd and said helplessly: "Comrades, I also know that this is a once-and-for-all solution, but this not only involves the shipping company, but also involves our Linghai mine in Xuzhou. If you don't purchase What about so many miners who dug the coal themselves, and who pays their wages?"

Political Commissar Ding asked cautiously, "Can't it be sold locally?"

"Where the coal is produced, can it be sold at a higher price?"

Deputy county magistrate Gu asked a question, and then said: "The county must also consider the shortage of coal. If there is a shortage of various production materials and prices skyrocket like last year, our own mines will be abandoned, and our own miners will be scattered. Now, what will we do then?"

A leader is a leader, standing higher than others and seeing farther than others.

What people consider is employment and whether the county can have a stable supply of coal.

Political Commissar Ding had nothing to say, he lit a cigarette and stopped talking.

Han Yu thinks Commissar Ding's words make sense. After all, the northern section of the Grand Canal is too chaotic, otherwise, my parents wouldn't have beaten them to death all these years and never dragged them there.

At this time, Xu Sanye stubbed out the cigarette butt, knocked on the table and said: "This matter is indeed troublesome, but it is not difficult to solve."

Political Commissar Ding subconsciously asked, "Sanye, how do you plan to solve it?"

"Old Ge is also here today. When he came to investigate the location of the ferry a few months ago, I told Lao Ge that my Yanjiang police station owes nothing to the county or the traffic bureau, but to the shipping company. Because 001 belongs to the shipping company."

Xu Sanye pointed to Manager Jiang and Captain Fan, and then to Captain Wang and Han Yu: "Yu Gong, as a public security officer in Linghai, I cannot turn a blind eye to the repeated extortion of Linghai Enterprises, let alone Sit and do nothing when the employees of my Linghai enterprise were beaten by lawbreakers.

In private, my Linghai Public Security Bureau took advantage of the shipping company and ordered a tugboat from the shipping company without spending any money.In addition, Captain Wang and Xianyu are retired cadres of the shipping company, and the other is a child of the shipping company. Now that the shipping company is in trouble, I can't just stand by and watch. "

"Xu Suo..."

"Manager Jiang, let me finish first."

Xu Sanye pointed at Han Yu again, and said in a cadence, "Xianyu is learning to drive a sea vessel at the East China Sea Shipping Bureau. The Sea Shipping Bureau has not only passenger ships but also ocean-going ships. Ocean-going ships are equivalent to moving territory, sacred and inviolable.

The same is true for shipping companies. The fleet of shipping companies is the jurisdiction of our Linghai Public Security Bureau.As the director of the Yanjiang Police Station and the captain of the water security police brigade, I, Xu Sanye, have the authority to govern! "

It seems that this trip was not in vain...

Deputy county magistrate Gu couldn't help asking: "Comrade Sanye, what do you plan to do?"

Xu Sanye weighed it, clenched his fists and said: "I plan to use four prongs. First, we must organize armed escorts. If criminals dare to extort money again, they will be arrested one by one, and then they will be arrested first!

Secondly, investigators were selected from the criminal investigation brigade to investigate and collect evidence to find out who the criminals were who had previously extorted the shipping company's fleet.

We can't just count the previous incidents like this. Once we have enough evidence, we will give them a final settlement and try our best to recover the losses of the shipping company. "

Deputy county magistrate Gu was just transferred this year. He had only heard that Xu Sanye was wild before, but he finally saw it today and asked, "What else?"

"Then we will report to the provincial department through the water sub-bureau of our city bureau, and strive to attract the attention of the superiors like the attack on the water bandits and boat tyrants on the river. Finally, we must mobilize the media. Reporter Wang from Binjiang People's Broadcasting Station has worked in coal mines and has feelings for coal mines. He will also be interested in such news, please help expose it!"

Xu Sanye thought for a while, then looked at Han Yu again: "Salted fish, you don't need to go to the water sub-bureau to study with your class, hurry up to repair the ship, wait for 001 to be overhauled, change the ship name and ship number back to Linghai tow 012, put The police lights were removed, and they were disguised as ordinary tugboats to pull coal in Xuzhou."

Han Yu asked in a low voice, "Pretending to be an armed escort from a civilian tugboat?"

"Well, we can't scare those bastards away. We can't get nothing if we go there. I'm sorry for the beaten-up employees of the shipping company if we don't catch a few water bandits and boat tyrants!"

Xu Sanye slammed the table down, turned around and said, "Manager Jiang, this time I will personally lead the team to go with you, and the barge will be towed for you with 001, so you can pay for the fuel, no problem."

"No problem, using our own tugboats will burn oil."

"That's it. The Fourth Criminal Investigation Squadron is assisting the Customs in handling the case, and there are no investigators. Old Ding, you can arrange the investigation and evidence collection.

As for the escorting police force, I will call the Water Bureau later and ask the Fish Bureau to arrange ten police officers. I want to see who dares to blackmail my escorting fleet! "
