Riverside Police.

Chapter 463 Foreign Friends

Although the barge, 001 and Old Antique went to Sanhe, Bailong Port Passenger Terminal is still lively.Especially during the Spring Festival this year, there were three happy events in a row.

First of all, Director Ge, with the help of the big guys, chased after Sister Wei for more than two months, and finally moved Sister Wei.

I didn't go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate, I didn't hold a banquet for relatives and friends, and I didn't even give out wedding candy. I just invited Chairman Li, Li Weiguo and the younger generations in Linghai to have a meal, and gave them to Yuan Zai at the dinner table. Xu Haoran and Lin Xiaoqin from Yanyang made a phone call and moved in together.

Sister Wei was a bit reserved, and she was embarrassed to move to his dormitory. He was the one who moved into Sister Wei's dormitory.

Then just after work on the sixth day of the lunar new year, the leaders of the Personnel Department and the Passenger Transport Department of the Port Authority rushed to Bailong Port, called a meeting for all the personnel at the port, and invited Jiang Shen, the political commissar of the captain of the passenger ship Jiang Liu, who was berthing at the port in the morning, and the Bailong Port Police Station Acting director Chen Zikun attended and announced that Zhang Jiangkun would be the manager of Bailong Port Passenger Terminal.

The Port Authority has changed its leadership team and is undergoing system reform. It must operate in accordance with modern enterprise management and face increasingly fierce competition.

Directors, section chiefs, and other positions with the color of party and government organs have disappeared, leaving only the office director and several cargo terminal directors.

The freight terminal is mainly responsible for loading and unloading and refueling and adding water to the freighter, and does not involve operation.

The passenger terminal not only sells tickets, but also is responsible for loading and unloading passengers, adding water to passenger ships, and a little freight business, and then even needs to conduct independent accounting, so the person in charge of the passenger terminal must be a generalist, and the "political treatment" in the Port Authority is better than that of freight The director of the dock is half a grid tall, and his position is a manager rather than a director.

As for salary, Zhang Jiangkun, the manager of the passenger terminal, is far inferior to the directors of the cargo terminals in Binjiang Port.

Locally, the economy is in charge, not to mention enterprises like the Port Authority.

The cargo terminal can help the port authority make money, but the Bailonggang passenger terminal can't make much money.

The share of the ferry ticket is the main source of profit for the passenger terminal, and the profit of the freight is almost negligible. Selling a ticket earns two or three yuan, and the steamship company will not do it any more.

During the Spring Festival travel season, there are many passengers on boats, but there are few passengers on boats in normal times. At the worst time, only three to four hundred tickets can be sold a day, and sailings are suspended in bad weather such as typhoon and heavy fog. On average, only 4 to [-] yuan a month Income, excluding various expenses, cannot create much benefit for the Port Authority.

But in any case, becoming a manager is the "top leader" of Bailong Port Passenger Terminal, which is worth celebrating.

Then, after Xiaogong failed to go on a blind date in his hometown last year, Teacher Gao introduced him to a girlfriend who was just assigned to a nurse in the fourth factory health center last year. The girl is very beautiful and admires the police officers.

Xiaogong's parents came to Bailonggang to celebrate the new year, met the little girl's parents, and had a good chat. They planned to get engaged on May Day and get married when they were old enough.

In short, happy events continue in this big family courtyard.

The staff of government agencies and enterprises and institutions go to work on the sixth day, but for most people, the Spring Festival does not end because they go to work on the sixth day.According to the customs of Linghai, the Chinese New Year will be celebrated until the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

Just when the taste of the new year has not dissipated and the big guys are preparing to celebrate the Lantern Festival, a bad news that is unacceptable to everyone comes. Comrade Xiaoping, the chief designer of the reform and opening up, passed away.

Even Mother Han, who never cared about national affairs, said with tears in her eyes: "Without Deng Xiaoping, how could we live such a good life."

"Comrade Xiaoping's biggest wish is to wait for the return of Hong Kong, and go to Hong Kong to take a look around. Hong Kong will return to the motherland in more than four months. Why did he leave?"

Lao Ge was more uncomfortable than Han Ma, and he choked up several times watching TV.

People of this generation have lived a hard life without enough food and clothing, and they all thank Comrade Xiaoping from the bottom of their hearts, and Sister Wei is equally uncomfortable, holding Xiaohanhan and crying.

Old Han took a deep breath, stood up and said, "The flags of the United Nations have been lowered to half-staff, and I will also go to the boat to lower the flags."

Han Ma regained her composure, raised her head and said, "Hurry up."

……

The death of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, the whole country mourns!
The management committee of the development zone, which has just changed its name, organized all party members and cadres to watch the memorial meeting for tens of thousands of people. After watching the live broadcast, Vice Mayor Shen asked all party members and cadres to actively respond to the call of their superiors, study Comrade Deng Xiaoping's theory in depth, persist in reform and opening up, and turn grief into strength for development economy.

However, Han Yu didn't care to mourn with the big guys. The weather warmed up, the eel fry migrated, and the annual eel hunting battle officially kicked off.As the backbone of the protection of fishery resources in the Binjiang section of the Yangtze River, he had to go into battle again.

All the law enforcement boats that the fishery administration, port supervision and public security can dispatch were dispatched.

What was fought in the past was a "war of annihilation", but now it is a guerrilla war. The waters of more than 100 kilometers along the Yangtze Riverside section are full of battlefields.

"Yuju Yuju, we found more than a dozen fixed nets here, but we didn't see any boats or people."

"Should hide in the nearby port."

"Our boat has a deep draft and can't get in."

"There is no evidence, and it's useless to get in. Let's clean up the net first."

"Received, it seems that this is the only way to go."

After nearly ten years of "tug-of-war", the people who illegally catch eel fry are becoming more and more savvy. They will not fish openly during the day, and hide when they set a fixed net in the waterway. Chance.

Even if it is discovered, the loss is only a dozen or twenty nets.

After dark, they all went out to fish wildly and indiscriminately.

There are only a few law enforcement boats for fishery administration, port supervision and public security, and the waters to be patrolled are so long that they can't take care of the other side when patrolling. Even if they happen to meet them, they will flee to the other side.

The superiors did not pay as much attention to it as before, and too little law enforcement force was invested.Several districts and counties involving two provinces and cities on both sides of the Yangtze River did not have a unified command and could not form a joint force, which made the big guys exhausted.

Ma Jintao and Yang Yong can also take the helm now, so Han Yu simply organized the group into two groups, and the personnel took turns to rest the ship without stopping, patrolling key waters where the safety of the ship's navigation was threatened by illegal fishing 24 hours a day.

In the blink of an eye, it was midnight again, and Han Yu was woken up by the alarm clock, put on his clothes and got out of the crew cabin.

The surface of the river was pitch black, and neither fishing lights nor navigation lights could be seen.

"Yuju, I'll go up and change Captain Fan, you can sleep a little longer." Ma Jintao came over from the crew cabin behind wearing a coat.

"Who will help you check the radar water depth?"

"Look at the Land Lord, he has already gone up."

"Okay, I happen to have something to do."

The new ships under construction in Hanwu will be delivered to Linghai Port as tugboats in the future, and tugboat crews must be trained now.

Ma Jintao's "Land Lord" Xiaochen is an employee of Linghai Port under construction. The reason for his nickname is that his family's land was requisitioned by the management committee. He entered Linghai Port as a "land worker" limited company.

At night without lighting, eel fry cannot be caught. Han Yu confirmed that no one was fishing illegally in the nearby waters, opened the door and walked into the command cabin, turned on the light and took out the phone book from his briefcase.

Captain Fan followed in, yawning and asking, "Salted fish, who are you calling at this late hour?"

"For two foreign friends, it's midnight on our side, and it's noon on his side."

"Use your mobile phone to make international calls!"

"I'm a global player."

"I know you are Global Connect, I mean international calls should be very expensive."

Han Yu searched for a number he had never called before, and explained: "The phone bill is not cheap, but it's because it's a business matter, not a personal matter. The city leader told me to call, and the phone bill will be reimbursed by the Management Committee."

Captain Fan asked curiously, "It's attracting investment again?"

"Ah."

"What kind of business is this time?"

"An intermediary for recruiting seafarers."

Captain Fan is a native of Linghai. He is very concerned about the construction of Linghai, especially the development zone. He stays on the boat every day and knows many things.He lit a cigarette and asked with a smile: "Didn't Ningning say that there is a teacher in your school who has connections in this area?"

"Ms. Wu from our school has a student who works as an intermediary in Dongguang. Back then, I wanted to ask Mr. Wu to introduce me to a foreign ship. But the intermediary is in the skinning business, and there are too many intermediate links. The crew can earn a little money."

I slept for hours and had a bitter mouth.

Han Yu took a sip of water, thought about it, and said, "And there are too many uncertainties in finding an intermediary. Linghai Vocational High School did seafarer training back then, and it worked well at the beginning, but then it failed because of They can only send seafarers to a few intermediaries in Donghai, Ningbo and Dongguang, and they don’t have their own overseas dispatch channels.”

Captain Fan has been running ships for decades. Although they all run on the river, he is not ignorant of foreign ships, so he subconsciously asked, "Directly contact the shipping company?"

"Domestic shipping companies have their own crews, and many large shipping companies are also engaged in seafarer assignments. Finding them is similar to finding an intermediary."

"Are you planning to go directly to foreign shipowners?"

"I don't have the energy. Besides, I can't do this business just by making a few phone calls. More importantly, we not only want to carry out seaman training, but also attract investment. To put it bluntly, the intermediary company needs to open in our development zone. It must be handed over to the development zone, and the foreign exchange created by dispatching seamen must also stay in our development zone.”

"Invite friends from abroad to come to our Linghai to set up a shipping agency?"

"almost."

"You're busy with important things, I won't bother you anymore."

Captain Fan yawned again, and walked out of the command cabin wearing a cotton coat.

Han Yu watched off Captain Fan who had stayed up all night, picked up his cell phone and made a call according to the number in the phone book.

It was the first time to make an international long distance call with a mobile phone. I thought it might not work, but I didn't expect to get through after a while.

"Hi, may I ask if you are..."

The other party spoke English and was fluent.

Han Yu hurriedly said, "Sister Shen, I am Han Yu from Binjiang!"

Shen Rulan was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Xianyu, why did you think of calling me?"

"miss you guys."

"Missing us, don't you want to lure us back and catch us?"

"Sister Shen, you really know how to joke, how are you doing over there?"

"It's okay, it's not too good, and it's not bad either."

"Where's Brother Zhang and the child?"

"The child is at school, Ah Sheng is at home, wait, I'll call him."

Zhang Asheng also didn't expect Xianyu to contact him, so he ran downstairs to answer the phone and asked, "Xianyu, you are a busy person, why do you have time to call us?"

International long-distance calls are too expensive, even if the unit reimburses you, you can't waste the phone bill.

Han Yu didn't want to be polite anymore, so he briefly said that he was transferred back to the Linghai Public Security Bureau, and that the Linghai Development Zone was attracting investment.

"You want us to go back to open an agency and engage in overseas assignment of seafarers?"

"I think you have an advantage in doing this. Sister Shen's English is so good, and she has worked in an agency company and dealt with many foreign shipping companies. Brother Zhang, you have been on foreign ships like me, and now you speak English. It’s not bad, doing this is doing what you are doing.”

It is very difficult to find a job in Canada.

Shen Rulan and Zhang Asheng felt unwilling to work in restaurants or small supermarkets run by Chinese.Wanting to open a Chinese restaurant like others feels meaningless and risky.

The two of them were worrying about sitting and eating during this time, and they immediately regained their energy after hearing what Xianyu said.

"Salted fish, it should be no problem for us to contact the shipowner. The key is that the domestic seafarers do not speak English. This business may not be easy to do."

"But domestic seafarers are hard-working, and they are very obedient and easy to manage."

"No matter how hard you work, you can't speak the language."

"Our development zone is cooperating with Binjiang Shipping Academy to train seamen, and we will strengthen language training next."

"You train, I'm looking for the shipowner outside, so we don't necessarily have to go back."

"I didn't tell you to come back. How do you contact foreign shipowners when you stay in China? But if you are really interested, you can't stop coming back. After all, you are the one who does the business. You know what kind of crew members foreign shipowners need, so you can consider it." Come back and start a company, and have a good talk with the training institution, so that the training institution can train the seafarers who can go out in a targeted manner.”

"Investment attraction?"

"almost."

"Are there any preferential policies?"

"Of course there is. If you only act as an intermediary, you can only earn the intermediary's money. If you want to make more money, you can invest some money and do it together with training. Training courses are not opening factories, so you don't need such a big place , There are preferential policies in terms of land and taxation.”

Zhang Asheng was a little moved, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of procedures to go through for training in China."

Han Yu said without hesitation: "Don't worry about the procedures. Our development zone management committee can take the lead and introduce you to jointly run a school with Binjiang Shipping College. At that time, you will not only be the principal of the seafarer training school, but also overseas successful people who return to China to invest."

"Why do you want to run a joint school with your Binjiang Shipping Academy? Can't we do it ourselves?"

"You can run the school by yourself, but in this way you can only train ordinary seamen. It is different from the joint education of Binjiang Shipping Academy. Binjiang Shipping Academy not only trains ordinary seafarers, but also trains senior seamen. For your overseas business, the way is very important. wide."

"If it does, how much will it cost?"

"You know the domestic prices. How much does it cost to buy a piece of land to build an office building and a teaching building? And training courses can make money. If you think the investment is too large, our development zone can buy shares with land, or even I can fund you."

Now returning to China is different from being in China before. Now when I go back to China, I am a foreign businessman, and the company I run is a foreign-funded company.

A joint venture with the local government is equivalent to doing business in partnership. Shen Rulan and Zhang Asheng were thinking that the partnership business would not be easy to do. Han Yu said while the iron was hot: "Sister Shen, Brother Zhang, if you are interested, you can come back and investigate first. We develop The District Investment Promotion Bureau has an investment promotion office in Donghai, and I will arrange someone to pick you up when the time comes."
