Immediately afterwards, everyone came to the warehouse area.
Angel pointed to a cabin door and introduced:
"The fuel oil stored here is eight thousand tons in total, which is enough to support the fleet sailing to the Southern Ocean."
"The world is so chaotic now, why don't you put more oil in it?" Governor Li asked doubtfully.
Zhang Hao immediately answered helpfully: "Governor Li, first of all, the oil depot is so big that there is no way to expand it for the time being; secondly, fuel is now a scarce resource. The fleet can go to Sydney to refuel on the way, which can also help reduce the burden on the state." p>
In order to ensure the stability of the logistics system, according to the federal emergency law, no port may refuse to sell fuel as long as it is for normal commercial use.
Generally, small ports can evade insufficient reserves, but this does not apply to big cities like Sydney.
"I see, Director Zhang, you have thought carefully." Governor Li nodded with satisfaction.
Thanks to the other party's previous reminder, although the state does not lack these tens of thousands of tons of fuel, it can save a little bit. After all, today is different from the past. From the federal government to the small family, everyone must learn to tighten their belts to live a better life. p>
Not long after, everyone came to the coal storage area again. Looking at the coal mountain in front of them, Governor Li said in surprise:
"Captain Angel, how much coal have you hoarded?"
"Two thousand tons, and there are eight thousand tons on other ships, which adds up to exactly ten thousand tons."
"Aren't you burning oil? Why do you need so much coal?" Mayor He asked curiously.
"This is mainly just in case. This is a special instruction from Director Zhang. If the fleet encounters a storm and is unfortunately trapped in the Antarctic, relying on these coals, it will be no problem to support it for three to five years."<
/p>
Old Angel explained with a smile.
"The coal didn't cost much in total, and it was nothing compared to the lives of all the crew members."
Zhang Hao quickly said modestly.
Mayor He nodded and said nothing more. After all, all the investments were made from the other party's pocket and did not take up a penny from the city.
After leaving the Canghai, everyone immediately boarded an ocean-going fishing vessel with a displacement of 6,500 tons, or it might be more appropriately called a whaler.
I would like to interrupt here. In fact, there are only a few ships parked at the port, mainly for sightseeing. Other ships have long been waiting to rendezvous offshore.
After such a tour, Governor Li quickly discovered something unusual.
"Captain Sun, what are these fishing nets used for? Aren't you a whaler? Do you need so many fishing nets? Or is there another purpose?"
"Governor Li, you have a keen eye. These fishing nets are used to catch shrimps. If the whale is not caught, at least the trip will not be in vain."
"Are you talking about Antarctic krill?"
Governor Li reacted instantly.
"Yes, this is a trawl net. You can see clearly by looking at the mesh size of these fishing nets. The krill are too small and cannot be caught by ordinary fishing nets."
Captain Sun explained casually.
In fact, this is the intention of the company. Whether it is shrimp fishing or fishing, the same specifications of fishing nets are used. This time I went to sea with the intention of "eliminating my descendants."
Anyway, the marine ecology is in ruins. Even if the company does not take action, these fish and shrimps will not last long. They have no psychological burden.
Governor Li nodded and then encouraged: "If there are no whales, it would be good to catch more krill. Krill is rich in protein and tastes good, so it is definitely more popular than whale meat."
"Governor Li, please forgive me for disagreeing with your words." Zhang Hao interrupted with a smile.
"Oh? Where did I say something wrong?"
Governor Li said in confusion.
To be honest, the biggest reason why whale meat has not become popular is that it tastes bad. In layman’s terms, it is unpalatable.
"As we all know, whales are not actually fish, but a fish-shaped vertebrate whose fat content is almost ten times that of krill.
Under the current situation, there is no doubt that it is much more difficult to source fat than protein, which is why it is so precious and more popular."
Zhang Hao explained casually.
This is why he ranked whaling first. In fact, if you can land in Antarctica, penguins and seals are also good choices. Their fat content is even higher than that of whales.
Governor Li suddenly realized: "Listening to your words is worth ten years of studying. Director Zhang, thank you for reminding me this time, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself."
"You are making a strong statement. In fact, both can be done at the same time. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong."
Zhang Hao said politely.
Next, everyone visited an icebreaker. Seeing that the launching ceremony was about to begin, they hurried back to the port.
Today's Nantan Harbor is brightly lit, noisy with gongs and drums, and very lively. Looking at the festive colors, those who don't know think that the Spring Festival is not over yet!
Although the current situation is difficult and all activities must be simplified, given that most of the crew members are superstitious and the risk of going to sea this time is indeed relatively high, Zhang Hao still made careful preparations in order to appease people's hearts.
There were not only traditional lion and dragon dances, but also several celebrities were invited to help out.
The appearance fee for these people is not expensive, as much as 300,000 yuan per game, especially the two Hollywood superstars from across the ocean, who only paid 500,000 yuan together, which is a model of high quality and low price. p>
At 9:58, the sailing ceremony officially begins.
After all, whaling is still illegal. In order to keep a low profile, Zhang Hao, Governor Li and others sat in the audience the whole time.
The two sides continued to chat about whaling.
"Director Zhang, you must have spent a lot of money to prepare so well, right?"
"Fortunately, there are still 3 billion left in the company's account."
Zhang Hao nodded.
In order to catch up with the progress, he spent money like water during this period. He spent money that he shouldn't have spent, spent money that should be spent... and spent it twice as much, which made Vice President Cao and others dumbfounded.
"If the lifting of the ban is not passed, then we will be under great pressure. Our monthly salary will be several hundred million, and I am afraid that three billion will not last for a few months."
"Don't worry too much about this. If it gets to that point, I will inject more capital."
Zhang Hao immediately patted his chest and promised.
Anyway, he has a "plug-in", and what the other party is worried about will never happen.
"Director Zhang, your starting point is good, but after all, the company does not belong to you alone. There are many things involved here, so we'd better be cautious."
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Hao woke up instantly.
Governor Li obviously means something!
"Ahem..." Governor Li coughed, and then explained in a low voice: "Our investment is so large, we can't go to Antarctica in vain. If the policy is not released in time, you can actually hunt whales secretly. If something happens,
The state will give you the full scoop."
Hearing this, Zhang Hao couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly cursed "old fox" in his heart.
No wonder the state and city are so cooperative. I originally thought that I was charming enough, but I didn’t expect that the other party actually had such a wishful thinking.
Do you really think of him as a fool?
Dad is right, none of these people are really good, they are worse than white-eyed wolves.
What is "covering the bottom"?
This sounds nice, but at most it is a verbal promise without any binding force. Even if it is binding, can he still fight against the official?
Regardless of the final outcome of this matter, he is still the one who will suffer.
However, fortunately, he knew the general trend of the future and didn't have to worry about "bad things coming true", so he agreed without hesitation and wanted to win a favor first.
