Volume 1 The End of the World Chapter 53 What's on the Boat?
When people become obsessed with profit, they can forget everything else. Sailors and construction workers are essentially no different. They are both wage earners. Facts speak louder than words. The topics of allowances and bonuses, private goods and dollar exchange are hot topics. After lights out every night, we discuss how to make money.
The sound of big money drowned out the cry.
Moman put down the assembled pistol, reached into Xing Datong's pocket, took out the cigarette case, and took out a refill. He said unreasonably: "Lao Su, don't think I can't see your little thoughts."
Cashing in private goods, you want to spy on Haihang Supermarket’s family background, right?”
"Don't you want to?" Su Ming did not deny it.
Moman grinned and said: "You will be disappointed. Before the integration is completed, the old man will not reveal his trump cards to prevent anyone from taking risks. We will separate the ships for training immediately. What if a certain captain is obsessed with the ship and runs away, causing it to sink?
Let them go? In fact, returning the private goods and showing goodwill to the seafarers is not tied up. After the redemption, it is related to personal interests, and the seafarers will be separated even if they want to unite. They will inevitably form separate groups, and then they will suspect each other, be wary of each other, and supervise each other...
... Do you understand? This is a mouthful of poisonous milk, a conspiracy that is carried out openly. Not only is it harmless to the entire group, but it also has a stabilizing effect."
There are more than a dozen ships, tens of thousands of tons of bulk cargo and nearly 4,000 containers. What exactly is inside? Currently, only two barges have been exposed.
The "Sea Supermarket" keeps a tight secret, even to Chinese sailors. It carries more than 200 people from the country, and it is even more secretive. Without Su Ming's undercover ability, nothing is known until now. As for the cargo of other ships, they are not known to each other.
The uncles and nephews of the Ye family kept secrets, and became increasingly mysterious. At first, it was a hot topic among sailors, and after the camp was established, the newcomers were also curious and speculated. There is indeed hope to open up an opportunity to return the sailors' private goods. Unfortunately, they can only cash in their bankbooks.
Putting aside the goods, there is no way for a dog to bite a bastard. It’s poisonous milk and a conspiracy, and you can’t resist even if you see it.
Su Ming was neither a pure sailor, nor a construction worker, nor a stowaway, so his status was awkward. He could only stand in favor of the uncles and nephews of the Ye family, otherwise he would not be able to please all three sides.
"The old man had an idea to build a cannon, but someone didn't mind it and just climbed along and created a production area."
Moman didn't hold back when he exposed it, and started another story.
"However, you can seize the opportunity accurately. Building a cannon is a systematic project that involves all aspects. Smelting, casting and forging, material processing, machining... Cannonballs are indispensable for chemical engineering. It is another systematic project and can even be used to make medicine. With so many subjects, it is involved
Activate the whole body. The various equipment that needs to be used are enough to get on the ship and rummage through the boxes. The processing and production area adds fire. Even if you can't see the whole fleet's cargo, you can still see what kind of industrial foundation it has. I really have you, old man
Su. To achieve his goal, he will do whatever it takes!"
Su Ming neither denied nor admitted, and said with a smile: "Your psychology is too dark. I suggest that you take the time to seek psychological counseling from Dr. Chen. It's free."
"It's boring. If you dare to do it, don't take it seriously."
Moman put down his pistol, glanced at the calendar on his desk and said: "Actually, instead of caring about what is on the ship, I am more eager to know what year and month it is now, and whether the outside world is the same as the history we know?"
Su Ming stopped talking and refilled a cigarette that he had only taken two puffs on. Xing Datong did not say a word and glanced at the calendar. January 27, 2019, the year, month and day of the original time and space. It has been 33 days since the sudden change.
It took nearly a month to set up camp ashore.
"Sometimes, I can't help but wonder, is the current situation a scam, a kidnapping, a reality show? Tierra del Fuego, Ushuaia, before 1870... everything is an illusion.
, there is a huge ulterior conspiracy hidden behind it. Or, from beginning to end, it is a prank by some big shot!"
Moman's forgetful questioning seemed like a joke.
The small camp is not as big as a prison. The men are better off, with military training outside the camp, training in the water, and a large range of activities. The space for women's activities is much narrower and is basically restricted to the camp. After a long time, it is understandable that they will complain.
.However, what Moman said before was clear and logical, about relying on sailors, tying up sailors, integrating, and scheming, which made her appear to be a high-ranking and strong woman. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a sad little woman. She was probably too happy, and her true colors were revealed.
.
The price dropped, the price dropped! Xing Datong snickered inwardly. He remembered that during the stowaway trip, Mo Man talked too much and showed his cowardice. And this woman was wanted when the incident was revealed. Ninety-nine percent of the time, she responded to that sentence. She died of being mean and talking too much.
"Lao Xing, the report you helped Feida deliver seems like you have a low opinion of him?"
Su Ming ignored the emotional Moman and looked at Fei Dade who was picking up rubbish at the far end of the door.
An hour ago, there were not dozens but a dozen people who saw "guns pointed at their heads". Xing Datong expected that Su Ming would question Fei Dade, and said calmly: "The inspection team has too few things suitable for him to do. Hand him the
Report, I explained to the superior that I hope to use his expertise, but do not recommend entering management."
"Yes, he is a doctor from a prestigious university, a vice president of a state-owned enterprise, and a temporary deputy county magistrate... just doing odd jobs and wasting money."
Feida's scary resume has been confirmed on the Internet. Su Ming muttered, flicking his fingers on the table and said: "The production area has been launched, and private goods have to be cashed in again. The statistics, planning, and material distribution work of the headquarters are getting more and more complicated.
The more there are, it is indeed necessary to add another manpower. However, Lao Xing, this person is more dangerous than Jiang Yilong, and you still have to supervise him. Continue to do odd jobs when he should, and never let him be idle."
"Okay, I agree!" Xing Datong nodded. No one is more attentive than him in preventing pyramid schemes.
"Hey, there is one person who is most dangerous, haven't you seen him?"
Moman spoke again, patted the table and said: "This man has the power over the personnel of the fleet. The captain and first mate have all arranged for his best friends and relatives. When the fleet goes to sea, the fleet may have to change their surnames. Are you not worried at all?"
Responsible for distributing wages and bonuses, Moman has many contacts with all employees and is well-informed without eavesdropping. Unfortunately, the price has dropped, he has lost his right to speak, and alarmism is useless.
The two men said nothing to each other, and both drank coffee from cups.
"It's ten o'clock. I'm going to check the post and the ward." Xing Datong drank his coffee and looked at his watch.
Su Ming stood up and asked: "Do you have any impression of Zeng Yongfu?"
Xing Datong nodded and said: "I am a fellow from the same province. I am in my early thirties. I have blindness on one side and am good at mechanical repair."
"You admitted the wrong fellow, he is not from Gan Province." Su Ming opened the drawer and found a USB flash drive, "Take it and listen to it. I believe it will help you understand Jiang Yilong."
We are talking about Zeng Yongfu, why are we talking about Jiang Yilong?
Walking out of the headquarters with doubts, Xing Datong took out his tablet computer from his bag, put on his headphones, plugged in the USB flash drive and played the audio inside. In Hunan dialect, after listening for two minutes, he distinguished the voices of Jiang Yilong and Zeng Yongfu.
People were quarreling in the dormitory, and there were debt disputes. They really recognized the wrong fellows. Zeng Yongfu and Jiang Yilong were fellows from Hunan Province who smuggled together. Most of the newcomers' self-introductions were half-true and half-false. In order to verify, Su Ming did not hesitate to eavesdrop in the dormitory. Jiang Yilong
Long's self-introduction was the most obvious sign of lies. He smuggled himself into the mercenary army alone. It was confirmed that he and Zeng Yongfu were from the same hometown. It was not difficult to find out the real details.
"Hey, Old Monster Xing, are you blind?"
Xing Datong was slapped on the shoulder, and his painful tablet fell to the ground. Li Dongmin, who was about to have a seizure, had already rushed out of the door. More than a dozen people rushed past, and they rushed out of the door together. He stretched his neck.
, only then did he notice that a few hundred meters away on the right side of the gate, a team was approaching. The speed was not fast, and several people were staggering forward with wooden sticks in their hands.
Ye Te's field training team came back, and there were a lot of worried people. Li Dongmin was the first to greet them, and took the lead to help carry guns and backpacks. The people who followed him did the same, and some helped them one-on-one.
"Li Dazui is very good at flattering."
The commotion was so loud that Mo Man also showed up to watch and made sarcastic comments. Xing Datong could not agree and kept silent. In his opinion, flattery was the least important part of Li Dongmin's behavior. Just now, he subconsciously wanted to open the door to greet him, but when he saw clearly
It was a retired seaman or a patrol member who accompanied Li Dongmin. When he realized something, he took a few steps and stopped.
"Let me tell you, the boss's base is loyal and united!" Moman saw another subtlety.
"What's wrong with your mind?"
The crowd is on fire...do you understand?"
"Ah... Is this like this?" Moman was frightened and looked like a frustrated little daughter-in-law. She never thought that ordinary greeting details would endanger her personal safety.
Xing Datong was also qualified to help carry the gun. But the focus of his work was on the camp, and it was better to stay inside the door than to go out. Annoyed by Moman, he lit a cigarette and walked to the gate to stop. Moman followed closely and took his cigarette away.
Box, stand behind him.
"Pa bang bang..."
Hundreds of people soon gathered on both sides of the gate, applauding and paying tribute. The field training team that entered the gate all looked ugly and acted in a mess. Today's thunderstorm made staying in the camp very dangerous. It is not difficult to imagine what people must suffer in the wild.
Why suffer? These people deserve applause.
"The status of veterans will be higher in the future!" Moman whispered.
"Be clear about it before you speak, the patrol members are not just veterans!"
Xing Datong scolded again, more like talking back.
The status of veterans is higher, and the number of non-veteran patrol members is also rising. It shows that Yette's basic market is expanding. Moman is not wrong. However, Xing Datong has a positive interpretation. This field training team has demonstrated outstanding performance in the face of natural disasters.
It shows a tenacious and fearless spirit, which is the spirit that the camp needs most. And Li Dongmin's mutual help and love behavior is a good example of this spirit. These are the opposites of Moman, who is a typical refined self-interested person.
"Tch, the boss is the boss, the last one to appear."
Most of the field training team passed through the gate, and the remaining two were dozens of meters behind. The last one was Yete. Moman leaned forward while speaking, and Xing Datong's elbow touched the soft ball. It felt familiar, and the ball seemed to be glued firmly.
Chapter completed!
