Riverside Police.

Chapter 810 The end of an era!

In the early morning, there was a heavy fog on the river.

The fog filled the shore and shrouded Bailong Port, as if to keep the "Jiangshen" passenger ship, which has been traveling to and from the East China Sea for decades, from stopping its voyage.

For most travelers, going to the East China Sea by boat is slow and inconvenient.

But for the villagers of Bailonggang, it will be very inconvenient to go to the East China Sea after the passenger ship is suspended.After all, the passenger terminal is right in front of our house. Buy a ticket, get on the boat and sleep, and you will arrive at the East China Sea. Moreover, taking a passenger ship is cheaper than taking a long-distance bus.

Principal Gao is here, and Erxiao Zhang is here.

Director Chen of the former Bailonggang Health Center also came.

The village party secretary and director of Bailonggang, as well as the cadres and workers of the Bailonggang Ship Lock Management Office came, and almost all of them came as long as they could.

Many villagers who are nostalgic and have relatives in the East China Sea bought tickets three days ago and planned to take the last passenger ship.

Seeing Principal Gao, Dean Chen and other old seniors taking pictures in front of the passenger ship, Han Yu couldn't help but think of the scene when he first came to work at the Yanjiang Police Station.

At that time, Bailong Port was very prosperous. The Baishen, Bailiu, Baiyan, Baiwu, plus the car-passenger ferry on the Bainiu Line, had more than a dozen flights every day, and there were boats from morning till night. .

The Baishen and Bailiu lines have the most passengers, and it is hard to find a ticket at ordinary times, and it is even more difficult to buy a ticket during the Spring Festival, so many scalpers have been bred.

But with the development of road transport, water passenger transport is not as good as every year.

There are so many villagers on the boat today, but the total number of passengers is still less than [-]. The Yangtze River Passenger Transport Company must lose money, and it can't even make money for fuel, so the suspension of sailing is a last resort.

After finishing the handover with the passenger ship police team, Xiaoyu ran to the shore with the folder in his hand, turned around and looked at the passenger ship police officers, choked up and said, "Dried salted fish, sister Ningning, if I had known that the Baishen number was due to a loss, If the sailing is to be suspended, we should not have taken advantage of the public in the past, and we should not have taken the boat without paying.”

Han Yu was stunned, scratched his neck and smiled bitterly: "We haven't bought tickets for the boat, but we haven't been on the boat a few times."

Han Xiangning was also reluctant to stop the Baishen, and muttered: "I heard that the railway is also losing money, why is the railway not running!"

"Now it's more important to be on shore than on water."

"It's true that the country spends so much money on building railways and roads, but it is reluctant to spend money on dredging waterways."

"Little fish, the country is not as rich as you think."

Just as he was talking, Chen Zikun and Zhang Ping walked over.

Chen Zikun lit a cigarette and said solemnly: "Secretary Han, I asked Captain Yao just now, and Captain Yao said that after this voyage, he will sell the passenger ship to a ship breaking company for dismantling."

As expected, if you don't sell it, you will incur maintenance costs.

Han Yu was silent for a moment, and said with mixed feelings: "The ship can be sold, so what should we do with so many people? If there is no accident, the suspension of the Baishen Line is just the beginning. Jiang Shen and Jiang Han probably won't run for long. The suspension of sailing is a matter of time." .”

Zhang Ping had already experienced it once, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable. He murmured, "Yes, there are tens of thousands of employees in the long-distance passenger transportation system, how do we arrange for so many people?"

"Dried salted fish, the Maritime Bureau has also suspended several routes, how did the staff of the Maritime Bureau arrange it?" Xiaoyu asked curiously.

"The Maritime Bureau has long since disappeared, and it is now called the China Shipping Group."

Han Yu took a deep breath and continued, "Not only are passenger ships suspended in China Shipping, but many old cargo ships are also suspended. As for the attendants and crew members of passenger ships, some will be relocated and some will be laid off. There is no way around it."

Xiaoyu asked: "We must be laid off, can't we not be laid off?"

"Some crew members are unwilling to be laid off, but the number of ships is not only decreasing, but also more and more advanced. There are not so many crew members on a ship. The superiors let them wait at home and wait for the rotation to board the ship."

"Stay home and wait for your salary?"

"If you don't get on the ship, there is no job. It seems that you only pay some living expenses. Many crew members can't afford to wait, and they have to fend for themselves one after another. Otherwise, where would Zhang Asheng and his wife find so many crew members?"

……

Lao Qian also came, carrying a plastic bag full of tea eggs, and greeted him: "Salted fish, Ning Ling, you came so early, you must have not eaten breakfast, eat some tea eggs."

"Uncle Qian, did you cook it?"

"I raise native chickens, and the eggs laid by the native chickens are smaller than this one. These are the eggs laid by the chickens that were fed." Lao Qian turned and pointed to the river embankment on the east side, and added: "I bought this from Mrs. Liu. Today she will be laid off when the boiled eggs are sold out. The passenger ships are gone, no matter how cheap she sells them, no one will buy them.”

"Sister Liu is not the only one affected."

"If you want to say that it will be affected, those who do business in Bailong Port have been affected as early as four or five years ago. Everyone has long been used to it, and they have already expected this day."

As soon as Lao Qian finished speaking, Chen Zikun smiled wryly and said, "The surrounding shops will close in a month at most. Boss Wu has written the banners of 'closed for clearance', 'low price disposal', and 'discount sale'. Outside Those small stalls in the city will be closed when the passenger ship leaves, and they will not come back after the stalls are closed."

The century-old port is suspended.

Bailonggang will become a real Bailonggang village from today.

Han Xiangning's heart was particularly heavy, and she asked in a low voice, "Chen Suo, how about you?"

"The big troops are transferred to Sanhe, and Xiaoyu and Xiaochen will stay here for the time being."

"What about the pier?"

"Only one person will be left at the pier to watch the gate, and all the others will go to Linghai Port."

"To Ling Harbor?"

"Yeah, what are you doing at Ling Harbor?"

Han Yu and Han Xiangning were at a loss.

Chen Zikun was stunned for a moment, and asked back, "You don't know?"

"We don't know anything, we don't know anything!"

"It seems that you really don't know."

Chen Zikun took a deep breath and explained: "Linghai Port has a major shareholder of Shenzheng. That shareholder lost money investing in tourism and real estate and was involved in lawsuits. Secretary Qian and Mayor Shen are worried that his debt dispute will affect the development of Linghai Port. , under the coordination of the leaders of Binjiang City, ask the Port Authority to purchase the shares of that shareholder."

Han Yu asked in surprise: "The deep and upright Mr. Xu has no money?"

"Well, not only have no money, but also owe tens of millions of foreign debts."

"He transferred the shares to the Port Authority, so Linghai Port has become the port of the Port Authority!"

"It's not just that Linghai Port has become the Port Authority, Gaoru Port will soon become the Port Authority. It is said that the superiors are counting the throughput of each port. As the largest port on the Yangtze River, the throughput of Binjiang Port is not satisfactory. City The leaders decided to merge and reorganize, turning the Port Authority into the Binjiang Port Group, and Linghai Port and Gaoru Port will all be subsidiaries of the Binjiang Port Group.”

"The throughput of several terminals in Binjiang Port is not enough. Use Gaoru Port and the soon-to-open Linghai Port to make up for it?"

"almost."

"So the Port Authority will soon be history?"

Chen Zikun is the director of the Linghai Police Station of the Changhang Branch Bureau. He knows more about the reform of the port terminal than Han Yu, who has been busy fighting smuggling and training water anti-smuggling teams during this period. He explained: "The Port Authority still exists, but the government and enterprises will be separated. Become a government department that coordinates, plans, and manages port terminals."

Xiaoyu also knows something about these situations, and couldn't help but interject: "As long as there is a port in Linghai, it doesn't matter who owns the port. I heard that the Linghai State-owned Assets Management Office also sold the shares of Linghai Port to Binjiang Port. There is nothing to do with Linghai in the harbor."

Leave professional matters to a professional team and be able to cash out.

Han Yu is too familiar with Mayor Shen's routines. He bought and sold the shipyards invested by two local companies once before.Now that he is the mayor, he must not only consider the development of the development zone, but also the development of Quanlinghai.

If you want to do a good job in Linghai's economic construction, you must have money.

Since the Binjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government wanted to make Binjiang Port bigger and stronger, he and Secretary Qian would definitely not miss this opportunity. Selling the completed Linghai Port to the city could make a lot of money, and a lot of money could do a lot of things.

Han Yu realized that Xiaoyu was not hearing the story, and turned around and sighed: "Ning Ning, your senior brother really knows how to do business."

"He and Secretary Qian know how to sell and sell. I heard that all the companies that Linghai can sell have been sold out, and even the Luqiao Company is being restructured."

"What about the shipping company?"

"It has also been restructured. It is said to be restructured, but in fact it is still for sale."

Too many people have been laid off in the past few years, and they didn't expect it to affect Linghai.

Han Xiangning's evaluation of Mayor Shen is not as good as before. He thinks that Mayor Shen only knows how to "sell", unlike when Secretary Ye was there, he tried every means to build.

Everyone was chatting in low voices, and an anchor boat sailed from the west of the river.

Chen Zikun took a look with his head, and said with a wry smile: "The brothers in the channel section are here, and it seems that they are here to withdraw the navigation lights."

If the passenger ship stops sailing, it will stop sailing, why even the navigation lights have to be removed?
Lao Qian didn't know that the removal of the navigation lights meant that the North Branch Channel would no longer be maintained in the future and would become a "natural channel", so he simply changed the subject: "Salted fish, Lemon, come back after a long time, don't leave at noon Alright, let's go home for dinner later."

"Row."

"Old Qian, don't be so busy, go to my place at noon!"

Boss Wu from Linghai Shipyard squeezed over and said cheerfully, "Xianyu, the first power boat has been launched, and you came back just in time. Go and have a look later."

"Going into the water so soon?" Han Yu asked subconsciously.

"The power boat is not a big boat, it's just bigger than an iron boat. You'll know when you go and have a look later."

"Mr. Wu, how many have you made here?"

"I have three here, and Mr. Wang also has three. A total of six have been built."

……

According to the passenger ship schedule, the Baishen should set sail on time at 08:30.

However, the North Branch Channel was too silted up and the water depth was not enough, so we had to wait for the tide until 09:30, when the passenger ship blew its whistle and slowly left the barge with a huge roar, breathing black smoke.

For Han Yu, the departure of the Baishen passenger ship is equivalent to the end of an era.

He hastily straightened his police uniform and shouted: "Everyone is there, salute Bai Shen and see Bai Shen off!"

Following his order, Chen Zikun, Zhang Ping, Xiao Yu and other long-haul police officers, as well as Han Xiangning and other maritime law enforcement officers who came to see them off, raised their arms in unison to salute the passenger ship.

Captain Yao saw clearly and honked his whistle again.

All the policemen of the passenger ship Baishen stood on the side of the ship and saluted the people on the shore.

This scene makes people cry.

Han Yu was in tears, and Han Xiangning was in tears.

The same goes for Xiaoyu, Chen Zikun and Zhang Ping.
