Clyde had no dissatisfaction with Zhuang Rui renaming the ship. After all, it was the boss's right, and Zhuang Rui had to pay an additional fee to the country where it was registered for the name.
But Zhuang Rui transformed such a luxury ferry into a salvage ship, which made Claude very confused and dissatisfied. He wanted to be the captain of a luxury ferry, not the captain of a salvage ship.
For a luxury merchant ship like this, Zhuang Rui only needs to lease it to an ocean-going company, and then Zhuang Rui doesn't have to worry about the rest. With the current popularity of global travel, I believe those companies can maximize the benefits of this merchant ship.
But Captain Clyde would never have imagined that Zhuang Rui would install a drilling platform and a damn floating crane on the ship. The two floating cranes were as long as arms, completely ruining the image of the entire ship.
"Does this Chinese really think that the sea is full of treasures and can be salvaged wherever he goes?"
Clyde looked at the young man in front of him and felt very disapproving. When he was young, he also had dreams of finding pirate treasures and salvaging sunken ships on the seabed.
But as he grew older, Claude discovered that the reason why dreams are called dreams is because every time they appear, they are in a dream, and only when they wake up do they realize how cruel reality is.
…
Zhuang Rui looked at the bearded ship and said with a smile: "Clyde, don't you want the Xuan Rui to roam the sea and stay in the port to make flowers?
Have you forgotten the glory that a sailor deserves? Have you changed from a brave sailor to a cowardly captain?!"
Clyde is a man with a straight temper, and he can see his dissatisfaction from Clyde's face. For a person with this kind of character, good words to persuade are far worse than harsh words.
So Zhuang Rui had a smile on his face, but what he said made the bearded captain's lungs almost explode with anger. From the rising and falling chest, it could be seen that Captain Clyde was very... angry.
"Boss, you are insulting me. There have been six captains in our family, but they all died at sea. None of them insulted the honor of the sailors..."
After Clyde heard Zhuang Rui's words, his beard suddenly exploded. For a sailor, all he has to do is fight the waves and contend with the storm.
If it weren't for some special reasons, Claude would have resigned from his position as captain long ago. Zhuang Rui's words obviously hit the soft spot in his heart that he had been avoiding.
At this moment, Captain Clyde had forgotten what he wanted to do with Zhuang Rui. He clenched his fists and looked at his new boss fiercely. He had already decided that if Zhuang Rui didn't give him an explanation, then he would leave his job where he had been working for nearly a year.
Twenty years of this ferry.
"Oh? Am I wrong? Don't you want to take those sissies and run the same route every day? This kind of life does not seem to be what a brave sailor should do..."
Seeing Clyde's look, Zhuang Rui snickered in his heart, but his face was very serious, stabbing Clyde's hurt self-esteem again.
"Oh, no, only a devil wants to live like that..."
Before Zhuang Rui could finish speaking, Clyde screamed strangely. To be honest, he was not interested in that kind of aristocratic captain. When gambling boats were still in business, Clyde was just like this.
The first mate of a ship.
At that time, the captain Clyde followed basically had to hold cocktail parties every two days and entertain the so-called VIPs with a false smile. This kind of life was not what Clyde wanted.
"Well, if that's the case, why do you have such a big opinion on the renovation of this ship?"
Zhuang Rui suddenly changed the topic and brought the topic back to the issue of modifying the ship. For a moment, the originally excited bearded captain was stopped by Zhuang Rui's question.
Clyde looked a little dull and muttered to himself: "Yeah...why would I object?"
After Zhuang Rui saw Clyde's confused expression, he quickly struck while the iron was hot and said: "Clyde, don't you want to sail this ship with me to explore the unknown ocean... to dig out endless treasures?"
You know, an experienced captain is really not that easy to find, especially since Clyde has worked on this ship for nearly twenty years. I believe no one is more familiar with this luxury ferry than him.
Although the sea contains endless treasures as Zhuang Rui said, it is also full of unknown dangers. Even though the ship is quite big, it will sink to the bottom of the sea if it is not operated properly. The Titanic is the best example.
A good captain will reduce this risk factor to the lowest level. It is a matter of life and fortune. Zhuang Rui naturally wants to hand over the ship to an experienced person to control it, so he spares no effort to enlighten Ke.
Ryder.
"Explore the unknown ocean... unearth endless treasures..."
Clyde muttered what Zhuang Rui had just said, his eyes gradually became brighter, his fists that had just been released clenched again, and he shouted: "Boss, what you said is great, that's what I want
The life you want..."
"Yes, that's right. Think about it, if we fish out the treasure that has been dormant for thousands of years at the bottom of the sea, it will shock the world. Isn't it much better than you being the captain of a tourist ship?"
Zhuang Rui patted Clyde on the shoulder. Unfortunately, this big man had been fooled by Zhuang Rui so much that he couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north. He was still echoing Zhuang Rui's words: "Yes, we want to shock the world. Oh my god, boss."
,How much are those treasures worth?”
"Haha, I once got Klaus's treasures on an island. They are now displayed in my museum. They are probably worth more than 2 billion..."
Zhuang Rui said calmly, which made Clyde's eyes shine with gold. He was born in a family of sailors, so he had naturally heard of Klaus's name. When he was young, he also dreamed of getting Klaus's treasure.
Clyde had also heard the news about the discovery of Klaus's treasure, but he never expected that his boss would actually find it.
"Boss, I'm following you. Even if I go to that damn Bermuda, I, Clyde, won't even frown. I will let you know that I am a real sailor!"
Zhuang Rui's Xiaozhi lured him with love and finally made the bearded captain surrender. He looked so respectful that he almost gave Zhuang Rui a kiss on the hand.
"Clyde, you will not regret your choice. I will bring you an exciting new life..."
Zhuang Rui laughed loudly, pointed to the area under construction on the nail plate, and asked: "How long will it take for them to complete the work on the drilling platform?"
The floating crane equipment has been installed, but the drilling platform with a power of up to 700 tons is more troublesome. This work has been mainly carried out in the past two months.
"Boss, I promise that it will be completed within three days. You see, the work now is in the final stage..."
Clyde was even more anxious than Zhuang Rui at this time. After hearing the wonderful prospects described by Zhuang Rui just now, he now wished that the ship could set off immediately and go to the ocean to search for sunken ships or pirate treasures.
"Well, the staff on the drilling platform and the floating crane are under your unified management. Clyde, what I want is a captain who understands modern management. Do you understand?"
Zhuang Rui nodded. After giving out the dates, he still needs a slap. Otherwise, don't make yourself unable to control the other party in the future.
"Boss, as you wish, I think the facts can prove that I am fully qualified for this job..."
When Clyde said these words, he suddenly became polite and polite, and even gave Zhuang Rui a gentleman's salute. If he had a hat in his hand, he would definitely be a qualified gentleman.
Zhuang Rui did not speak, but walked to the construction site. The huge drilling platform had been completely installed and was now in the debugging stage. Thirty-four staff members were busy working.
"Hello, Mr. Zhuang, please put on your safety helmet..." A middle-aged man saw Zhuang Rui coming and hurriedly came over to greet him.
"Gong Zhang, you have to follow us when we go to sea this time. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we won't be able to solve it..."
Zhuang Rui took the helmet and put it on his head. This middle-aged man was the chief engineer of the equipment. For a project like this worth hundreds of millions, he had to follow him throughout the process.
Zhang Gong smiled confidently and said: "Of course, Mr. Zhuang, don't worry, our domestic technical level is no worse than that of foreign countries. Let me introduce to you the working principle of this platform..."
Due to its particularity, half of the platform has exceeded the hull, which requires good balance. A drilling platform with a power of more than 700 tons must be able to ensure that the drill pipe is connected vertically and downwards evenly under the influence of strong winds and waves at sea.
This requires very advanced stabilization technology.
Under the platform, four hydraulic troughs as thick as tree trunks can generate more than 800,000 kilograms of thrust, allowing the huge salvage device to penetrate deep into the seabed.
According to Zhang Gong's introduction, this salvage device can grab eight times the weight of the most advanced salvage ships in the world today. It is only with this ferry as a carrier that this salvage device can play such a role.
"Well, that's good. Can we go to sea the day after tomorrow?"
Zhuang Rui couldn't understand these things at all, but he saw that the originally luxurious ferry had now become a bit unrecognizable.
Zhang Gong nodded and said: "Of course, I also look forward to seeing this platform play a role..."
"Brother Zhuang, our ship can probably be called the most luxurious salvage ship in the world, right?"
Peng Fei didn't know when he came over here, and after making a joke with Zhuang Rui, he lowered his voice and whispered in Zhuang Rui's ear: "Brother Zhuang, the batch of things has been transported to the ship..."
