Half a month later, the new police station began to break ground.
Zhang Hao directly outsourced the project to an old acquaintance, Mr. Wu from Huicheng Construction Engineering.
Today happens to be the day for laying the foundation stone.
Many people came to the scene.
After the groundbreaking ceremony, the construction team began to dig deep into the foundation. According to the design plan, the entire new police station has a total of two underground floors and seven above ground floors.
Everyone walked around the construction site, and Director Sun couldn't help but asked curiously: "Mr. Wu, it's freezing now, won't it affect the construction?"
"Of course it does. Generally speaking, when the temperature is low in winter, outdoor wet work will freeze, which will lead to poor construction efficiency and even inability to ensure construction safety.
We are simply digging the foundation now. As for the next step of construction, we must wait until the temperature rises above freezing, unless you are willing to spend money."
Mr. Wu explained with a smile.
He is in a good mood recently.
Since last year, their company has received several large orders from the city. If it weren't for Zhang Hao's sake, they wouldn't be interested in small projects like office buildings this time.
"It doesn't matter if it takes a long time. If you can't make it in time, you can borrow the village office first."
Director Sun quickly waved his hand.
Zhang Hao became interested: "If someone is willing to spend money, what are you going to do?"
"It's very simple. We can use a steel structure to completely seal the entire construction site and turn on heating, so we don't have to worry about low temperatures."
"Hey, from what you said, it sounds a bit like that kind of closed dock?"
Zhang Hao immediately thought of a picture.
He had just visited the Huangpu Shipyard before and was particularly impressed.
"It is indeed a bit similar. The principles of the two are similar."
Mr. Wu nodded.
Director Sun then asked: "With the current climate environment, can the temperature return to above zero?"
"Absolutely." Zhang Hao rushed to answer, "Huicheng has a low dimension. If we can't get back to above zero, it will be even worse for other places. At least half of the population will be lost, and at worst it will be annihilated.
."
"What Director Zhang said makes sense."
Mr. Wu immediately echoed.
"How many months will it take?"
Director Sun continued to ask.
Zhang Hao seemed confident: "The temperature will definitely rise above zero by June at the latest."
"If it is June, including the three-month construction period, it should be completed successfully in September, just in time before winter."
Mr. Wu thought for a while and immediately added.
"September? It's earlier than I expected. I thought I had to wait until the end of the year!"
Director Sun couldn't help but smile.
Mr. Wu shook his head: "It's actually good luck. Fortunately, Director Zhang had a lot of building materials left over. Otherwise, it would have been a waste of several months just to purchase the building materials, and he might not be able to buy them all."
After some small talk, Director Sun left quickly because he was busy with official duties.
Mr. Wu took the opportunity to pull Zhang Hao aside, seemingly hesitant to speak.
Zhang Hao spoke honestly and honestly: "Old Wu, it's not the first day we've met. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
"Oh, I'm really a little embarrassed."
"Tell me? What is going on?"
Mr. Wu looked embarrassed: "Old Zhang, I heard that you established a new offshore fishing company? And you just went to sea some time ago?"
"That's right." Zhang Hao nodded.
"If there is a harvest, can you sell a batch of fish to our company?"
It’s not that seafood is unavailable in the market right now.
It’s just that the quantity is limited, and the price is expensive, so it is not suitable for large-scale purchasing.
"How many do you want?"
Zhang Hao did not refuse.
"A hundred thousand jin is enough. You also know that our company does not have many employees. Even though we have recently expanded a lot, the total number of employees does not exceed 1,000."
Come and try it soon.]
"Okay, one hundred thousand kilograms is fifty tons, which is not too much." Zhang Hao nodded, "But you will probably have to wait for a while. If it is fast, it will be June or July, if it is slow, it may have to wait until next year."
"Time is not a problem, we are willing to wait."
Mr. Wu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, it might as well be a little later. Through what he saw and heard during this period, he finally figured it out.
These days, the further you go, the more difficult it becomes!
The Federation is currently relying on resting on its laurels and will not last long.
……
After a twelve-day voyage, Southeast Fisheries’ offshore fishing fleet finally arrived at Sydney Port as scheduled.
The Port of Sydney is very busy at this moment.
In the end, only the flagship Canghai successfully docked at the port. As for other ships, they could only temporarily anchor in offshore waters and then use small transfer ships for supplies.
The most important ones are fuel and water.
Others cannot be provided by Sydney Port.
Old Angel was the only foreigner among the senior management of the fleet, and he was very familiar with Sydney Port, so he volunteered to lead the team to negotiate with the port.
Naturally, others will not object.
In less than half an hour, Old Angel used his connections to quickly meet his old friend, who was also the person in charge of the port.
After all, the shipping industry is not big at all.
"Philip, long time no see!"
"Angel? It's you? I thought you retired?"
Phillip hugged the other party tightly.
Then we welcomed the group into the office.
Old Angel smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I would like to retire, but it's a pity that a penny is too much for a hero, so I can only persist for two more years."
"What happened? Where did you move to?"
"Our family went to Huicheng in East District 1, which is right next to the New Capital and less than a few dozen kilometers away. To be honest, the conditions in Huicheng are pretty good in all aspects, but the housing prices are too expensive. Our family is still renting a house.
Stay!"
Old Angel answered truthfully.
"It's not your fault. Housing prices in East Asia have always been like this."
"Stop talking about this, old man, what about you?"
"Me? I'm still the same."
"I heard that the refugee problem has become more serious recently. We encountered dozens of refugee fleets along the way. Are you here unaffected?"
Old Angel took the opportunity to show concern.
"Sydney is fine for the time being. The refugees are mainly concentrated on the west coast and north coast." Philip waved his hand after saying, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Where do you work now? Is it still the same company?"
"No, the original boss has sold the company and moved to Europa. I am currently working in Southeast Fisheries, which is an offshore fishing company. The benefits are pretty good and the salary is three times what it was before."
"Oh, that's really good."
Philip couldn't help but envy him.
Old Angel smiled and then suggested:
"Philip, as an old friend, please forgive me. Australia is not a place where you can stay for a long time. I still recommend that you immigrate as soon as possible. Zhucheng and Huicheng are both good choices."
"My old friend, thank you for your suggestion, I will seriously consider it."
