In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits

It was only then that Chairman Jiang realized he had made an empirical error. He originally thought the only difference between the two ships was their displacement tonnage, which was four times the size, but now it seemed his understanding was flawed.

"Director Zhang, you've been in charge of our fishing boat management. Can you explain the difference in equipment between these two ships?"

Director Zhang patiently explained, "Chairman, this 2,000-ton fishing boat is already considered an ocean-going fishing vessel, capable of fishing operations thousands of kilometers from land."

"It not only has various fishing facilities but also a small cold storage and simple seafood processing equipment, which can process seafood into various semi-finished products for easier storage and space saving."

"Moreover, this 2,000-ton fishing boat can haul at least twenty tons of seafood in one go with its fishing equipment. As for the 500-ton small fishing boat, it only has fishing equipment, and its fishing efficiency cannot be compared to the large fishing boat. Getting three or four tons in one net would be considered very lucky."

"Also, Chairman, I must remind you that due to our large-scale fishing in coastal areas recently, the number of seafood resources in these areas has declined rapidly. Therefore, there are very few seafood resources within 100 kilometers of the coastline."

"Therefore, to ensure sufficient seafood income, we can only engage in deep-sea fishing, especially in areas with fewer people. Those areas will have a very large number of seafood resources. This is why I suggest you purchase large ocean-going fishing vessels."

Chairman Jiang felt this matter was important and said directly, "Wait a moment, I will convene a meeting of cadres, and you can explain the matter then, so everyone can vote on it!"

"Okay!"

Soon, the Yixin Society convened a meeting of mid-level and above cadres, and hundreds of cadres began discussing the purchase of fishing boats in the meeting room.

Initially, everyone was shocked by the price Director Zhang reported. It was too frightening.

However, after Director Zhang's explanation, everyone understood the difference between the two types of fishing boats and realized the importance of deep-sea operations.

"Alright, now that everyone understands this matter, according to the organization's usual practice, we will vote by raising hands to decide which type of fishing boat to purchase. Those who agree to purchase the 2,000-ton fishing boat, please raise your hands!"

With a whoosh, everyone raised their hands in unison.

Chairman Jiang roughly estimated the number and saw that more than 80% of the people had raised their hands, indicating that 80% of the cadres agreed to purchase the 2,000-ton fishing boat.

He directly decided, "It seems everyone wants to purchase a large fishing boat, so we will purchase two large fishing boats, but we still need to negotiate for more benefits with the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce!"

Director Zhang respectfully asked, "Please give your instructions, Chairman!"

"First, we must ensure the fuel supply for the fishing boats. We require the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce to provide fuel. We can purchase fuel at a high price. Second, regarding after-sales service, they must provide at least one year of after-sales support, responsible for the repair of the fishing boats and the maintenance of the fishing equipment."

"Third, if we encounter some force majeure factors in the deep sea that cause the fishing boats to be lost, if there are Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce ships nearby, we hope they can provide personnel rescue services, and we will pay the relevant fees."

"The last point is that you should ask the other party if they have any plans to sell arms. We plan to purchase arms!"

Director Zhang quickly recorded all these requirements and then hurried to the nearby Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce office to discuss related matters.

At an office in Malta, Director Zhang arrived and began talks with Liang Tao, the general manager of the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce there.

"General Manager Liang, our chairman is preparing to purchase two of your 2,000-ton ocean-going fishing boats, but there are some conditions that need to be discussed between us."

Liang Tao became interested. "Director Zhang, please speak frankly."

Director Zhang quickly put forward the conditions. Liang Tao looked at Director Zhang with a surprised expression. He did not expect the other party to propose these conditions.

"Director Zhang, let me tell you about the current situation. You should be well aware of the scarcity of fuel these days. We can provide fuel, but the price will definitely not be low. Are you sure you can accept this price?"

"General Manager Liang, we also know the value of fuel, so we are mentally prepared."

Liang Tao nodded. "That's good. The fuel for ocean-going fishing boats is basically sold by the ton, and we are also very short of fuel. Fortunately, the main fuel used on these fishing boats is heavy oil, not diesel or gasoline, so the price of heavy oil is still cheaper."

"Even so, our quotation for heavy oil is 50,000 points per ton, and other resources can also be calculated at this equivalent price. And the daily consumption of a 2,000-ton ocean-going fishing boat is definitely not low, at least 35 tons of heavy oil. Have you really thought about it?"

As an organization formed by the remnants of the original Imperial Navy, the Yixin Society is naturally very clear about the fuel consumption of various ships. This estimate is still a relatively conservative consumption.

But Director Zhang was also very curious. "We can take out the points tickets to buy fuel, but we are curious if you can really stably supply fuel?"

"Yes, for this 2,000-ton fishing boat, in addition to the fuel that drives the fishing boat itself, we have decided to use solar power to solve the electricity consumption of the cold storage, so that we can save a sum of fuel."

"If it's just your force alone, it's enough to allocate a part from our inventory." Liang Tao said calmly, suppressing the joy in his heart.

After all, Li Ming's multi-functional mining vehicles and mines have been mining oil resources all over the world, as well as mines that extract offshore oil and natural gas resources. Overall, Li Ming is really not short of fuel.

Moreover, his own fuel reserves are also very high, coupled with his terrifying industrial processing and conversion capabilities, so his industrial development is very fast. Now, selling a fishing boat will add another force that is dependent on him for fuel.

"By the way, Director Zhang, our after-sales service is like this. As long as the problems with the fishing boats and facilities are not caused by force majeure or human operational errors, we will provide warranty service and personnel search and rescue."

"The arms trade is not under my jurisdiction. You need to find our General Manager Zhao to talk about it separately."

"Okay, let's sign the contract to purchase the fishing boats immediately!" Director Zhang immediately decided.

Soon, both parties reached a consensus and signed the contract for the purchase of ocean-going fishing boats, with the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce providing fuel and the Yixin Society purchasing fuel........
