After Zhuang Rui had dinner at noon, he drove to the Ministry of Transportation. The sentry standing under the bright national emblem at the door repeatedly checked Zhuang Rui several times until a secretary-looking person came to the door and waved him through.
"Hello, Mr. Zhuang, my surname is Su. I talked to you on the phone this morning..."
The visitor, who was about thirty-two or thirteen years old, waited for Zhuang Rui to park the car in the yard, then trotted to help Zhuang Rui open the car door with extremely skillful movements.
Seeing Zhuang Rui coming out of the car at such a young age, Director Su had a look of surprise on his face, but he also felt relieved. It was understandable that the young man spoke rudely.
Su Zhen is the secretary of Deputy Minister Yu. His rank is not low, he is at the department level. If he is decentralized, he might be promoted to half a rank and become a deputy department level. Although he is usually humble in the ministry, he actually has quite a vision.
He is tall and not very attractive to ordinary people.
So when Director Su called Zhuang Rui in the morning, he used a commanding tone, but Zhuang Rui's reply made him dumbfounded. He was scolded by Deputy Director Yu for no reason. Although Deputy Director Yu didn't say it clearly,
Director Su can also feel that Mr. Zhuang has a considerable background.
There is a joke that says if a brick falls in Beijing and hits ten people, at least nine of them will be directors. The remaining one is also a deputy director. So even though he doesn’t know who Zhuang Rui is, Director Su doesn’t dare.
He was negligent and used practical actions to make up for the bad impact that morning's phone call had on Zhuang Rui.
"Well, I'm not late, am I?"
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Zhuang Rui didn't care about the other people's attentive service. He nodded to Su Zhen, got out of the car and closed the door.
"Mr. Zhuang, please come this way. Minister Yu and the others will be here soon..."
When Su Zhen saw Zhuang Rui's behavior, his attitude became more and more respectful. It seemed that the staff along the way were all guessing about Zhuang Rui's identity. The person who could let Su Dasec personally lead the way must have a lot of background.
.
Under the leadership of Su Zhen, Zhuang Rui entered a conference room. Although the conference room was not very big, only sixty or seventy square meters, it was very luxuriously decorated. Even the chairs were specially made according to human body comfort.
"Teacher, are you here too?"
After Zhuang Rui entered the room, he saw Professor Meng and several acquaintances from the scientific research field. They were all seated now, each holding a piece of information and looking at it.
"Come, sit next to me. This is the cooperation agreement they have drawn up. You can take a look at it first..."
Professor Meng waved to Zhuang Rui, asked him to sit next to him, and handed a piece of information in his hand to Zhuang Rui.
"Okay, teacher..."
Zhuang Rui was also curious about what plan the Ministry of Communications, as the leading party, would come up with, so he took the information handed over by Professor Meng and started to look at it.
"Huh?" Zhuang Rui frowned as he looked at it.
This agreement shows that a total of five units participated in the salvage of the Awa Maru, namely the Ministry of Transportation, the Academy of Archeology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Archeology of Beijing University, the Navy's East China Sea Fleet, and the Dingguang Museum.
Among them, the Ministry of Transportation is responsible for technical guidance, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Archeology of Beijing University are responsible for protective rescue of cultural relics that have emerged from the water, while the East China Sea Fleet of the Navy is performing peripheral vigilance and blocking the salvage area.
As for Zhuang Rui's Dingguang Museum, it is responsible for specific salvage tasks. These are the obligations that each unit must fulfill. Zhuang Rui has no objections. Although he does not need the so-called technical guidance from the Ministry of Transportation, the other party must always have participation.
In the name of?
However, Zhuang Rui was troubled when it came to the rights and interests of each unit. The first article in the agreement stated: All salvaged property shall belong to the state.
Well... Zhuang Rui didn't have any objections to this either. He didn't want to turn the salvaged antiques into his own.
However, in the subsequent subdivision of rights and interests, all salvaged antiques and cultural relics with scientific research value will be uniformly authenticated and verified by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Archeology of Beijing University, and then handed over to the national collection.
As for Zhuang Rui's Dingguang Museum, there is not a single big word mentioned in the rights and interests, only the last sentence is mentioned. After the salvage is successful, it will be announced to the public in the name of the Ministry of Transport and the Dingguang Museum.
This fucking guy is just bullying people. I paid for my brother to go out on the boat, but he couldn’t salvage anything. I dared to give him my signature in the end to comfort him. Do you really think that my brother is an idiot?
Zhuang Rui doesn't attach much importance to reputation at all. He is already famous for many places, including the discovery of pirate islands, the advent of the fixed light sword, and the salvage of sunken ships from the Song Dynasty. These are enough to make the museum famous. This is just a signature on salvage.
Zhuang Rui couldn't be interested at all.
What museums lack now is not reputation, but real and influential antiques and cultural relics. If the Peking Man skull fossil is really salvaged, it will shock the whole world. It would be great if you can accommodate that thing in your own museum.
What Zhuang Rui is pursuing.
In other words, the reputation is too small. If the Ministry of Transportation changes this salvage operation to be exclusive to the Dingguang Museum, maybe Zhuang Rui will consider it. Of course, the Ministry of Transportation, which is working hard to build momentum and gain political achievements, will definitely not
Will agree.
"Everyone is here. Let me introduce to you. These two are Minister Jiang and Minister Zhao of the ministry. They are also members of the salvage leadership team. Everyone, sit down, sit down..."
Just as Zhuang Rui was looking down at the agreement, Vice Minister Yu and two other people walked in. At this moment, Zhuang Rui felt unhappy and did not stand up at all.
However, although the top minister of the ministry did not show up, the three deputy ministers were all present, which shows that the Ministry of Transportation attaches great importance to the salvage of the Awa Maru sunken ship.
"Xiaozhuang, have you read the agreement? Please say a few words. You are the decisive factor in this salvage..."
As soon as Vice Minister Yu sat down, he looked at Zhuang Rui. He was a little unsure about the agreement, so he wanted to see Zhuang Rui's attitude immediately.
"Um?"
Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and put the agreement in his hand on the table. He did not stand up, but sat directly and said: "Vice Minister Yu, I did not agree to participate in this salvage. I have been doing this for the past two months.
I am preparing to salvage a sunken ship in the Pacific, but I am afraid that I will not be able to participate in the salvage operation of the Awa Maru..."
Zhuang Rui knew that in this situation, he could not bargain and say that the agreement was unfair. As long as he opened his mouth to say so, he would immediately be labeled as not caring about the overall situation. Zhuang Rui ignored Ouyang Lei.
Therefore, Zhuang Rui never mentioned the agreement and simply said that he was unavailable. Zhuang Rui's Dingguang Museum is a private property and is not subject to the jurisdiction of the state. The administrative order is invalid for him.
Zhuang Rui was unhappy when he saw this agreement. Since we can't mention it, let's not participate in the head office. I won't play with you guys. There are so many people who want to embrace the Ministry of Transport these days. You can go find someone else.
"Xiao...Xiaozhuang, you..."
Vice Minister Yu just took a sip of hot tea in his mouth and almost spit it out. He originally thought that Zhuang Rui would raise some difficulties, and then he would allocate some money himself. Everyone would be able to live up to his reputation, and he would be able to account for Ouyang Lei.
.
But unexpectedly, Zhuang Rui immediately asked to quit the game, which immediately disrupted his plan. There are really no salvage ships above 10,000 tons in China. If he cooperates with foreign countries, he will lose his fortune.
.
"My little comrade, your idea is wrong. The country needs your salvage ship now. You can put your personal issues aside for now. You have contributed to the salvage of the sunken ship this time, and the country will not forget you."
of……"
It didn't mean that the deputy minister had thought of a countermeasure. The other deputy minister, Jiang, spoke up. The worst thing a person who is used to being a leader would do is for his own opinions to be refuted. This agreement was negotiated by the three of them.
Moreover, Vice Minister Jiang’s words implicitly threaten Zhuang Rui. If you make a contribution, the country will not forget it. If you do not contribute, the country will keep an eye on you even more closely. The Ministry of Transportation is responsible for salvaging sunken ships in the sea. He is not afraid that Zhuang Rui will not bow his head.
.
Zhuang Rui sneered, is the deputy minister at this level? He immediately said: "Haha, I'm sorry, we have been preparing for the Pacific salvage operation for several months, and the initial investment has reached hundreds of millions of yuan, and I
This ship is mainly for salvage in the open sea, and we will not take advantage of the country..."
Zhuang Rui is furious now. If he had known that this leader had this kind of behavior, he would not have signed the name of the Ministry of Communications on the Song Dynasty shipwreck salvage plan not long ago.
"You...you, this...this is outrageous!" Vice Minister Jiang did not expect Zhuang Rui to be so tough, and was a little dumbfounded for a moment. When had he ever been refuted in person like this?
"Old Jiang, don't worry, he is..."
Just when Vice Minister Jiang wanted to put another hat on Zhuang Rui, Vice Minister Yu stopped him and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Hey, Lao Yu, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
After Vice Minister Jiang heard what Minister Yu said about Zhuang Rui's background, he immediately regretted the official tone he just used.
"Yes, Lao Yu, you didn't say anything about this when we ventilated before?"
Vice Minister Zhao, who was sitting next to Minister Jiang, also heard what Minister Yu said, and his face was slightly ugly. Although it is said that all citizens of the country are equal, class still exists objectively.
With Zhuang Rui's background, as long as it does not violate national laws and regulations, there is nothing anyone can do against him. Moreover, there are no regulations in relevant national laws that require private individuals to sacrifice their own interests to do things for the country.
Moreover, a few of them also know that since the salvage is a cooperation between the state and the private sector, their agreement is indeed a bit excessive. The benefits belong to the state and the political achievements belong to themselves. Why should others give you money and efforts to work in vain?
"Okay, leaders, let's talk first. I have to be busy with going to sea, so I'll take my leave now..."
The face of this group of leaders made Zhuang Rui feel extremely disgusted. After saying these words, Zhuang Rui stood up and prepared to leave the meeting.
