From two o'clock in the afternoon, I slept until seven o'clock the next day. After having breakfast, Zhang Hao finally came back to life with full blood.
As soon as he arrived at the company, he got news from the front desk that Yang Bin from Huangpu Shipyard had been waiting in the reception room for a long time.
Zhang Hao couldn't help but cursed secretly: "Damn, you move really fast."
Soon, he saw Yang Bin. He was not alone. There was a middle-aged man beside him.
"Mr. Yang, we are a rare visitor! Who is this?"
Yang Bin quickly introduced: "Director Zhang, this is Director Wang Deming and Wang from the Logistics Department of Daxia Shipbuilding Group."
"Dr. Zhang, I have admired you for a long time."
Wang Demin seemed extremely enthusiastic.
Zhang Hao took the other person's extended hand and said, "I'm sorry, I kept you two waiting for a long time."
"It's okay, we came early."
After some polite remarks, Yang Bin got straight to the point:
"Director Zhang, we won't beat around the bush with you. Now that the fleet has returned, according to our previous agreement, shouldn't it be time to fulfill our promise?"
"Don't be anxious, you two. I promise you that I won't miss a tael of anything. It's just that the freighter just started unloading yesterday and it will take time. When the unloading is finished, how about I deliver it to your door personally?"
Zhang Hao persuaded patiently.
"Director Zhang, it's not that we are messing around blindly. In fact, the people below have long wanted to see through it. You have to understand our difficulties."
Yang Bin smiled bitterly and continued:
"Do you think this is okay? Anyway, we don't catch much fish. We are going out on our own. Can we pay off our share first?"
Zhang Hao shook his head secretly, where are the ghosts?
The employees below are not listening to you.
There is obviously something inside here.
"You two, why bother? I believe you also know that this trip to sea has been very fruitful, with a total of 500,000 tons of fish caught. I promise that I will not miss you."
Seeing this, Yang Bin sighed and said frankly and honestly: "Director Zhang, let's be honest with you. Your actions this time have been too big and have been noticed by the federation. We just don't want to cause trouble."
"The Federation? What do they want to do?"
Zhang Hao frowned unconsciously.
"Director Zhang..." Wang Deming on the side considered it for a moment and couldn't help but interject: "Your company has gained too much this time. It's impossible for the higher-ups to just stand by and watch. I'm afraid Governor Li can't stop this."
"What do you mean? Can they still steal it?"
Zhang Hao couldn't help but be surprised.
"Don't forget, this is a state of emergency and anything is possible."
Wang Deming reminded.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Zhang Hao followed suit and said: "In that case, although the cargo has not been unloaded at the port, tens of thousands of tons can still be collected. I will deliver it to you as soon as possible. Do you want whale meat? Or Antarctic phosphorus?
Shrimp?"
"This..."
Yang Bin and Wang Deming looked at each other and instantly became hesitant. To be honest, they didn't know which one to choose?
"Whale meat tastes bad but has a lot of fat. On the contrary, krill has no fat but tastes better and is rich in protein. One Antarctic krill is worth five grams of beef and has high nutritional value."
Zhang Hao made a simple comparison.
Wang Deming lowered his head and thought for a while, and quickly made a decision: "We want whale meat."
These days, fat meat is more popular.
"Okay, then ten thousand tons of whale meat." Zhang Hao turned to look at Yang Bin: "Mr. Yang, where are you here?"
"Can I have half of each?"
Yang Bin tried to discuss it.
Speaking of which, the living conditions in Huicheng are pretty good, and with the explosion of orders from their shipyard, the employees are not short of money and have more choices.
"Okay, five hundred tons of whale meat and five hundred tons of krill can be delivered tomorrow."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
"You're welcome, I also have a small request. I hope Mr. Yang can help me?"
Yang Bin said with a proud face: "Dr. Zhang, if you speak, we will definitely go all out."
"Thank you very much. Most of the fishing boats returning this time need maintenance and repair. Time is very tight, so I can only leave it to Mr. Yang."
"Oh? When will the fleet leave again?"
"The specific time is not yet certain, but it will probably be a few days early next month."
Yang Bin gritted his teeth: "No problem, our shipyard will allocate manpower to give priority to Director Zhang's maintenance work."
"Refreshing! Mr. Yang, I can't guarantee that there will be more. When the next fleet comes back, if conditions permit, there will also be a gift."
Zhang Hao hinted.
"Ahem, Director Zhang, don't forget that we still have our group." Wang Deming quickly reminded.
"Director Wang, don't worry, the Shipbuilding Group has been of great help to us, and we will treat everyone equally."
Zhang Hao promised with a smile.
……
After sending Yang Bin and Wang Deming away, Zhang Hao took out his mobile phone and called Governor Li on the spot.
"Governor Li, I just sent away Mr. Yang from Huangpu Shipyard. According to what he said, the federation seems to be interfering in our business?"
"It is true, but it is still under negotiation. There should be no problem with this batch of 500,000 tons of fish, but it is hard to say about the next batch."
Governor Li did not hide anything.
Zhang Hao quickly asked: "If the higher-ups really want to intervene, how will my share of the income be calculated?"
At this moment, he was very dissatisfied.
It's too bullying that he doesn't have any part in such an important negotiation.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, you are our great hero in Guangdong. We will help you fight for it and we will never let you suffer."
Governor Li tried his best to comfort him.
Hearing this, Zhang Hao couldn't help but complain:
"The federal government is too overbearing. This will only seriously dampen the enthusiasm of private enterprises. It is a bit too much."
Governor Li said bitterly: "People have to bow their heads under the roof. According to the rumors I have received, it is estimated that before the end of the year, our Huicheng will most likely be under the direct jurisdiction of the federal government."
"Really or fake?"
Zhang Hao was shocked.
Although I already had a premonition, I didn’t expect it to be so early.
Is it the first thing a new official does when he takes office?
"In fact, it's not just Zhuwan District. The scope of direct jurisdiction this time is far greater than before. It includes Guangdong, plus Wanzhou, Xiangcheng, and Qiongzhou to form a large direct jurisdiction."
"The geographical span is so large?"
"These are not problems. At present, land transportation is limited, but sea transportation is more important. Qiongzhou and Wanzhou, one in the south and one in the north, are equivalent to two transfer stations, which should be of great use."

"Is that good for us? Or bad?"
"Have equal advantages and disadvantages! The advantage is that our future development potential is greater; as for the disadvantage, I am afraid that the advantages we have accumulated in the past cannot be maintained."
"How to say?"
"Let me give you a simple example. Didn't Lao He buy millions of tons of grain from you? As expected, all of this grain will be taken over by the federal government. It will be very difficult to open a small business in the future.
”
"Why?"
Zhang Hao was immediately unconvinced.
"Don't be angry, Director Zhang. Of course, if you pay, you will also gain. At least in terms of energy security, we don't have to worry about it in the future."
