Gao Jianxiong and Gu Kun chatted very late and in great detail.
Gu Pan and Chen Li were more careful. They were afraid that staying up late would be detrimental to the healing of the incision, so they repeatedly advised Gu Kun to rest early.
Chen Li advised: "Captain, if you really want to help these comrades, you can just pick up some goods every time you pass by. You won't lose money, and you don't need to be so careful. Your incision hasn't healed yet, so you'd better rest early."
Gu Kun waved his hand and said, "You are just trying to be kind. Zigong redeems people and should be rewarded. The reason why Master said this is because if Zigong did a righteous deed to serve the country but did not accept the reward, then the people of Lu would not be able to do it again in the future."
Rescued compatriots abroad.
How much power can one person and one boat have? Occasionally passing by is just a drop in the bucket. If we can sum up a business model that benefits both the country and the country, so that this thing can continue to develop, replicate and grow, that will be a great merit."
Sailors and soldiers have not read much and do not understand any big principles.
At most, I guess I have only heard Ma Sheng’s quote, “When the market generates a demand, it can promote the progress of science and technology more than ten universities.”
They simply thought that Gu Kun spoke very well and sounded like someone who would do great things, so they just believed in him.
Just like those uneducated people on Douyin, they can only keep complaining in their hearts that they lack vocabulary.
"Comrade Xiao Gu, what you say makes so much sense." Gao Jianxiong said with admiration, "Then have you figured out a way?"
Gu Kun: "It's not bad - in fact, the model is already coming out. For fishermen who sail from eastern Guangdong and Hailan, it is really not cost-effective to come here. But for our fishermen who come from Lanfang, we have fished enough in the Malay coast
The specialties of Borneo are sold in eastern Guangdong. This business model will originally pass by the Visa Islands every month.
When setting sail, we can set aside a few tons of load to carry some in-demand fresh supplies, which will not increase the cost. As long as the garrison on the island is willing to pay some freight according to the profit of transporting fish, we can make a small profit.
The business can continue for a long time.”
Gao Jianxiong was a little confused: "Isn't that what the lesbian Chen... said just now?"
Gu Kun: "That's different. What she said is a temporary measure based on interest. I plan to run it as a long-term business. My boat is far from enough, and I won't run here all the time.
Therefore, there are only two ways to solve the stability problem. The first is that I will go to Guangdong to make a lot of money this time. After returning to Lanzhou, I will tell my relatives and friends about the business opportunities, tell them that this route is profitable, and let them work together.
Otherwise, you all expect me to make a fortune quickly, then become a big ship owner, buy several ships under my name, and run my own fleet, so there is no need to rely on outside help - I estimate that as long as there are three or four fishing boats doing this all year round
The business of this shipping route can be saturated if we plan the route well. But then I have to get some licenses for fishing in the South China Sea so that it can be justified. I'll think of a way slowly."
As he spoke, Gu Kun covered himself with the blanket, indicating that he was going to sleep. He knew that it was useless to talk to these big-headed soldiers in detail, and he still had to consider the long term.
Several other soldiers followed Long Wu and the others back to the boat. Gao Jianxiong and Ma Jiahui spread a straw mat on the ground.
Gao Jianxiong hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't hold it back, and said a word of caution before going to bed: "Comrade Xiao Gu, next time you go to Guangdong, if you are on the way, you can 'accidentally' pass by Yonglin Island and sell some to them.
Supply supplies.
Our battalion commander is stationed there, as well as some dispatch agencies from Hailan. If they are sure that you are friendly and meet the relevant conditions, they may have the power to approve fishing licenses.
In fact, this thing is not very valuable. The recognition of foreign ships is also an affirmation of our maritime law enforcement rights. The price will not be too high. I won’t say much else. You have a good rest."
In the 1990s, China's navy was still relatively weak compared to later generations.
Although there is no doubt about it legally, Shao Cha basically has no actual control, and Wi Sha is harassed by Vietnamese from time to time.
Therefore, in the waters of the Shosa Islands, basically anyone can fish, no one cares. As for Weisha, as long as you are from a friendly country, have no other requirements, and are willing to help, then if you just catch a fish
, and permission is not difficult.
However, if Gu Kun wants to run this business as a long-term and stable business, he must ensure that the procedures are complete.
Just like Captain Drake, even if others can't catch him, he still needs a privateering license.
…
Gu Kun rested well all night, and lay down until nearly noon the next day before returning to the ship. The reason why he had to return to the ship was because there was electricity on the ship and he could turn on the fan for ventilation, and the cabins on the island
It was getting sweltering near noon.
Before the wound is completely healed, sweating must be minimized to facilitate recovery and resistance to infection.
After a night and a morning of venting, the wind force dropped to Category 4. It is estimated that the tropical low pressure center has blown to the north.
Gao Jianxiong and others waved goodbye to Gu Kun and watched their ship go away.
Before leaving, Xu Hu, who was about to finish his compulsory service, half-jokingly told Gu Kun that if he had no place to go in the future, he would join Gu Kun. He also patted his chest and promised that he was good at water and could sail a boat.
Of course the other people would not say this, but Gu Kun could see that they also wanted to find a way out. After all, those who cannot be promoted to officers cannot be soldiers for their entire lives. They will definitely find a way out when their years are up.
As Ganquan Island disappeared on the sea level, Gu Kun's ship also sailed about 10 nautical miles.
Long Wu carefully confirmed with Gu Kun: "Captain, our current course is north-northwest. If we maintain this course, we can reach the Special Administrative Region in the evening in three days."
Gu Kun was lying on a hammock with many layers of cushions and ordered: "Go northwest-west, let's go to Yonglin Island first, it should only be 60 nautical miles away."
Long Wu was surprised: "Are you going to listen to Brother Gao's suggestion and get a fishing license?"
Chen Li, who was on the side, was more attentive and analyzed in a calculating tone: "But the total of the daily supplies on our ship is only two to three hundred kilograms. This amount of supplies is not qualified to do business with them, right? Maybe others can't even see it.
I don’t care about you. Or when I return, I can buy more in Guangdong, then come here to help sell, and I can inquire about the news by the way."
Gu Kun waved his hands feebly: "This is all about chance and excuses. This time I went to the island to meet you by chance because of appendicitis and had to undergo surgery myself. I have enough reasons to thank you, send you banners and support the army. Next time I will do it specifically
Come on, if you act like you're doing business in a business-like manner, it won't have the same effect. As for the things, you don't have to worry."
When Gu Kun went to sea this time, he secretly brought the three discarded sonar that he fished out in the Java Sea last time, just to find a way to sell them in China.
However, when he boarded the ship, he kept it strictly confidential. He pushed everything onto the ship with his own hands and did not tell Long Wu and Chen Li.
Now, after several days of training at sea, Gu Kun felt that Long Wu and Chen Li had completely convinced him and were willing to continue to work with him in the future. Only then did he dare to gradually let these people know about him.
Especially yesterday, he had an attack of appendicitis, but he was still able to use the captain's power to command Long Wu and Chen Li to sail the ship to Ganquan Island. This was also an important test.
Because whenever their trust in the captain's absolute authority was even slightly loosened, the safest way at that time would definitely be to sail the ship to Da Nang.
The probability of death from a disease like appendicitis that lasts for a day and a night is not very high, but it will definitely perforate, and if it continues to erode for more than ten hours after the perforation, it will delay it into a serious major surgery.
But the test results proved that even when the captain was seriously ill and had no power to restrain the chicken, they still obeyed the captain's authority, which meant that these two people were able to do some confidential things.
After the calculation was clear, Gu Kun confided: "Actually, the lack of supplies is not a big problem. I have a way to come up with enough bargaining chips to attract the attention of the garrison. Before the last Chinese New Year, when I went to the Java Sea, I accidentally dragged a
Big stuff.
I was so scared at the time that I didn't dare to take it out or tell anyone. Later I found out that it was probably a hydrophone. As fishermen, we should turn in the unidentified objects we catch. The higher-ups will also look at it.
Giving rewards is in line with the policy - little sister, take Long Wu to the bottom cabin and drag up the big bucket lying on the left side of the stern, the stuff is right there."
Gu Kun also stored the three items separately, so even if Long Wu went to get them, he wouldn't find them all.
And regarding the details of how he got it, Gu Kun always insisted on keeping it secret, even from his own sister.
He can let people know that he has caught something valuable, but he will never let people know that he has planned it for a long time and went straight for it, because it involves the secret of rebirth.
Gu Kun knew clearly in his mind what things could be known to others in moderation and what things could not be said for the rest of his life.
For things like lies, when the subject matter is too big, the real bottle should be filled with fake wine, and the truth should be mixed with the false to achieve the effect of concealment. If the fake wine is fake, it will be too fake.
Long Wu quickly followed Gu Pan to get the things out, and was shocked when he saw the seemingly high-tech cylinder.
"Captain, you are really a lucky person. You are so lucky. This thing can be exchanged for tens of thousands of yuan in bonuses." Long Wu said enviously.
Oh, I can't see it.
But Gu Kun didn't bother to explain, and he didn't want to show that he knew what he was doing.
Just like when you go to a foot bath shop, if the people you travel with are sighing, "It turns out that foot bath shops no longer use wooden basins to wash feet."
Then you'd better be like a yes-man and say "Wow, it turns out it's already so high-end."
"Yes, yes, it's probably worth tens of thousands." Gu Kun said not sincerely, but his acting skills were convincing.
Two hours later, his fishing boat arrived near Yonglin Island.
It is the largest island in the Visa Islands, with a land area of several square kilometers, an entire company stationed there, and even a dozen families of real fishermen settling here.
Of course, Gu Kun had no chance to drive directly to the island, because he was intercepted by a patrol boat when he was still more than ten nautical miles away from the island.
The radar station on the island had already detected him.
"What ship? Why wasn't it reported?"
"We don't mean any harm. We are a Lanfang fishing boat. Our captain suffered from appendicitis at sea yesterday and was rescued by comrades from Ganquan Island. We are here to express our gratitude and send you some supplies." Gu Kun asked two women to go up to the deck and shout.
Increase your own persuasiveness.
Only then was his boat successfully docked on the pontoon trestle under the surveillance of the patrol boat.
