Am I like a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of a starving man?
"Alright! This plane will cover my ore processing fee!"
"Haha... Great! Engineer Zheng is so straightforward."
We went to the base together to sign the contract; their refining prices were the lowest.
This is not simple refining, it's refining, turning raw materials into what we need, such as steel plates and steel ingots.
After signing the contract, I called Selena and asked her to arrange for the shipment as soon as possible.
Then I notified the Beijing military base to get my plane out, and it will fly here by itself.
While there was still time, the boss had tea served and began to talk about the current international situation.
It's not just Gaim Island that's provoking us; other places are just as tense.
It's just that the domestic media didn't report it.
"It seems like all the countries have conspired to target us. Engineer Zheng! We truly regret that you didn't become the leader in this weapons development."
It also worries us about the future development of our weapons!
To put it bluntly, the Great Xia Dynasty is too democratic; everything is done by voting.
Who the hell knows if there are any foreign spies among the voters?
"Don't worry, leader. Although I'm not in the country, my heart is still here. Any cutting-edge weapons we have are achievements of Great Xia."
The boss grabbed my shoulder: "Good boy! You've suffered so much, yet you still think this way. That's rare!"
If you need anything over there, I'll definitely support you.
"Thank you, boss! The fact that you gave me the task of refining ore is the greatest support you can give me."
As we were talking, my plane arrived.
The boss insisted on packing some local specialties for us to take with us.
I feel like a child coming home.
The cabin was packed full. As the plane took off, I looked at the CEO waving below, and my nose suddenly felt sore.
Nangong Xi saw my sadness and hugged my arm: "Zheng Yang! We had no choice but to go to Gaim Island."
"If we weren't there, people would probably gossip about whatever we did."
I understand that: "But I still sometimes feel upset."
I just want to get something real done, why is that so difficult?
Nangong Xi sighed: "Isn't it because you don't have any powerful backing? If you were from a prestigious family, they would be eager to curry favor with you."
Hmph! This is why poor children rarely reach the top.
Children from privileged families have a starting point that I can only dream of; they have people helping them with everything they do, and it's like a smooth road ahead.
What about poor children? They have to put in ten or a hundred times more effort in everything they do. If they show even a little talent, someone will come to stop them, afraid that they will climb too high and take away their cake and eat it too.
I put my arm around Nangong Xi and said, "I feel bad that you had to leave my hometown with me."
Nangong Xi is different from others; she has family, and they all treat her very well.
Nangong Xi hugged me tightly: "I like being by your side."
...
My plane was fast, and just as I reached the airspace above Geym Island, I saw a large crowd gathered at the drilling platform.
There were large foreign ships and warships from the Great Xia Dynasty.
Nangong Xi sat up: "What happened over there?"
"I'll go take a look."
I directed the plane to land directly on Baota Reef. After I got off the plane, I had it take Nangong Xi back to the factory by herself.
Lu Qianning was also there, with a tall and handsome young man standing next to her.
Lu Qianning leaned closer and said, "Zheng Yang!"
What's going on here?
"This American cargo ship broke down and drifted here on its own. The captain discussed with us the possibility of stopping here until their tugboat arrives and tows it away."
Oh right! This is Craig. She studied in Uri, so she's my senior.
The boat captain knows him!
"Greetings, Lord Zheng!" Craig extended his hand to me.
He even knows Lu Qianning? It seems his target isn't Xiao Qingwan at all.
I just glanced at him, then said to Lu Qianning:
"You mean you want them to stop?"
"But we can't do it here, because they've already run aground, which is a bit of a problem."
It seems that Lu Qianning really wants them to dock.
"Easy! Just blow it up!"
"ah?"
Lu Qianning and Craig were both startled.
Lu Qianning pulled me aside: "Zheng Yang! The British merchants on our island are still here. If you forcefully resolve the issue of this ship, I'm afraid they will leave."
"They're gone, so be it. Great Xia has also encountered this situation before. How are they now? They can't be towed away by ships and are constantly being disgusted by others."
Moreover, I suspect that those merchants stayed because of this ship.
The US and the US have always been in cahoots, so why aren't they responding to the US's call?
"No, they're staying because of Craig. He's the one who helped us keep the British businessmen here, and they even agreed to build a factory on the island."
"unnecessary!"
After I finished speaking, we arrived at the big ship. Lu Qianning had no choice but to follow me, and Craig followed Lu Qianning.
Besides the captain, there were also many British merchants living on Gaim Island on board.
"Lord Zheng has arrived!" someone shouted, and the British merchants and captains greeted me.
The captain then stepped out from the crowd: "Mr. Zheng! Our ship has run into trouble and has to be stranded here."
I hope Mr. Zheng can give us some time to stop here for now, and we will find a way to repair it immediately.
When I got to the wheelhouse, I first touched the rusty bridge and then glanced at the ship's documents.
I used my brain to look up the scrapping age of various ships online.
