Time flies by, and it’s the end of the month in a blink of an eye.
All fishing boats have been renovated, supplies are in place, and crew training is coming to an end. Now everything is ready and waiting to set off.
Before departure, Zhang Hao called all employees together and held a mobilization meeting.
"Everyone, there is no one else here today. They are all our own brothers. There is something I have been hesitating about for a long time. For the sake of fairness, I still feel like I have to tell you."
"Buzz buzz..."
Immediately there was a burst of whispering below.
In fact, many people are already mentally prepared. After all, all fools know that a monthly salary of 100,000 is definitely not that easy to get.
"Be quiet."
Vice President Cao knocked on the table hard.
Zhang Hao then said frankly: "We have only one destination when we go to sea this time, and that is Antarctica. The company is going to Antarctica for fishing."
"Dr. Zhang, isn't fishing banned in Antarctica?"
"There is a fishing ban, and of course there will be a day when the ban will be lifted. According to the analysis of experts within the company, Antarctica will soon be fully open to the public. Then it will be a good time for you to show your talents."
Zhang Hao said simply.
"Is it too dangerous to go to Antarctica now?"
Some people want to back down.
Is Antarctica so easy to visit?
Going to Antarctica at this time is no different than risking death.
Zhang Hao nodded: "There is definitely a risk. If anyone wants to quit, it's still too late. You don't need to pay any fees."
The discussion in the conference room became louder.
On the one hand, everyone is afraid, on the other hand, they are reluctant to part with the high salary. Everyone is in conflict.
Upon seeing this, Vice President Cao quickly spoke to comfort him:
"Please rest assured that Antarctica is actually not as scary as everyone thinks. At best, we only operate in the Antarctic offshore waters and do not need to land. Overall, the risks are controllable.
Moreover, the company has also made complete preparations. The fleet not only includes professional icebreakers, but also weather ships, hospital ships, and even naval escorts..."
"What if the fleet is trapped?"
This is the biggest security risk.
Similar cases are common in history.
"Didn't Vice President Cao explain it before? We have two icebreakers, so the chance of being trapped is low.
Even if you take a step back and say that the fleet is really trapped, you can still stay where you are and wait for help. The supplies on each ship are complete and enough for everyone to support them for more than three years."
Zhang Hao answered patiently.
"Director Zhang, you don't need to explain. It is said that wealth can be found in danger. We are only concerned about the question now. If everything goes well, how much money can we make?"
Zhang Hao smiled: "Then I won't be fooling you. This time I go to Antarctica to hunt whales. It will last about two to three years. With the basic salary plus dividends, I think each of you can become a multi-millionaire.
”
"Director Zhang, can you give a written guarantee?"
Obviously, everyone prefers to believe in black and white words.
Zhang Hao gritted his teeth: "Okay, whatever the difference is, I will personally supply it to you."
As the saying goes, under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.
Some money cannot be saved.
"Pa bang bang..."
The scene immediately burst into applause.
Zhang Hao pressed his hands and said: "I will give you ten minutes to think about it. If you insist on leaving, you can just sign a confidentiality agreement on the spot and you can leave now."
Ten minutes passed quickly.
In the end, 155 people chose to leave, including two fishing boat captains. After all, not everyone was willing to risk their lives.
Vice President Cao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said happily: "Director Zhang, fortunately it is still within control. If more people leave, it will be troublesome."
When we first recruited people, the company specially hired two hundred more people as a backup force, but unexpectedly they actually came in handy.
"Well, people die for money and birds die for food. If it is not possible to survive, who is willing to take the risk?"
Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh.
In the dream, the eldest son, in order to support his family in Hukou, got excited and imitated others and ran to the other side to pan for gold. As a result, the white-haired man gave away the black-haired man.
"Director Zhang, we are so fully prepared, safety should be guaranteed."
"Hope everything goes well!"
"Oh, I'm afraid our prediction is wrong."
Zhang Hao smiled and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter if you are wrong. The Federation has no time to care about Antarctica now. We can't understand clearly, so why can't we conceal it?"
"Is this possible? Once the authorities get caught with this, our company will be bankrupted, and you and I may even go to jail."
Vice President Cao said worriedly.
"Ahem, you really believe what I'm saying? Don't worry, the Federation will definitely open Antarctica."
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he handed the other party a cigarette.
Vice President Cao took the cigarette and said bitterly:
"Director Zhang, I'm timid, don't scare me."
Zhang Hao took the opportunity to joke: "You have already boarded my pirate ship. It's too late to get off now."
"Hahaha..."
……
After the mobilization meeting, Zhang Hao immediately called the company's senior management together and held a closed-door meeting. Some things were not convenient to say publicly.
"Everyone, this matter is of great importance. I'm sorry for keeping it hidden from you for so long."
"Director Zhang, in fact, if you didn't tell me, I would have already guessed that the shipyard has installed ice-breaking devices and cranes on all fishing boats, either going to the Antarctic or the North Pole.
At first I thought we were going to the North Pole. After all, there is no fishing ban in the North Pole. But now it seems that I have misunderstood. I didn’t expect our company to go to the Antarctic.”
Old Angel was so sad.
Zhang Hao quickly explained: "There is no fishing ban in the Arctic, and the fishery resources are definitely far inferior to those in the Antarctic. In addition, the furry bears are used to being domineering, so it is more reliable to go to the Antarctic."
"This is true. In addition, the Sulfonite Volcano is relatively far north, and toxic volcanic ash has long covered the entire Arctic Circle. How many resources are left? It is really difficult to say."
"I think so too. To sum up, our company will not go into the muddy waters of the Arctic."
Zhang Hao smiled and nodded.
Immediately afterwards, he directly asked the secretary to open the ppt.
"Please see, this is the latest whaling cannon developed by the company. Compared with traditional whaling cannons, the new whaling cannon can be connected to high-voltage electricity, which can basically kill with one shot and save a lot of time."<
/p>
"Director Zhang, if I remember correctly, the federal government explicitly prohibits the use of any electrofishing equipment?"
Someone raised an objection.
"This time, that time." Zhang Hao sighed, and then explained: "Don't worry, everyone knows the current situation. Once the Antarctic ban is completely lifted, indiscriminate fishing will follow.
No leeway will be left."
"In case..."
"I bear the responsibility. The company cannot bear the responsibility and there are Guangdong officials. You have made such a great contribution to the state. The state will not let everyone's hearts drop."
Zhang Hao tried to comfort him.
This thing is indeed illegal. The best way to deal with it is for the people to ignore it and not to investigate. If it is really discovered, the worst case scenario is to pay a larger fine.
