The next morning, at 6:30, Bai Yu heard a reveille.
When Bai Yu heard the voice again, he was stunned because he hadn't heard it in a long time.
Thinking back to the last time I heard the reveille, it was the time before that.
In an instant, Bai Yu realized that he was at the training base, so it was possible that he could hear that voice!
He then sat up in bed, took out his phone and glanced at it, and saw the time: 6:30 in the morning.
Although it was still a bit gloomy outside, Bai Yu got out of bed, got dressed, folded the blankets, and went out.
Because Bai Yu came out early, he saw a group of soldiers in the open space of the training base as soon as he came out.
Bai Yu was initially a little confused. Why were the soldiers here when they were doing physical training?
But when they finished breakfast, and were served freshly made glutinous rice balls by the chef, everyone present was stunned.
Because their track and field team's physical trainer is the same group of soldiers we saw earlier, they have to train with the soldiers.
Especially for long-distance runners like Bai Yu, their training is the most brutal, starting with a five-kilometer armed cross-country run.
Of course, it was impossible to arm Bai Yu and the others with weapons; all they could do was cross-country with added weight, with each person carrying an extra thirty kilograms of weight.
The 30-pound load wasn't a big problem for Bai Yu. He used to run with weights during his training, just not this much.
What made Bai Yu a little uncomfortable was that their trail running was in the mountains, which made things a bit difficult.
Although this mountain isn't very high, just a small hill, even a small hill has a slope, both going up and down, which makes running a bit difficult.
In addition, Bai Yu's training volume is different from others. Because of the 10,000-meter race, others only need to run five kilometers, but he has to run ten kilometers.
During this process, there was only one trainer and one sparring partner who completed the 10-kilometer cross-country run with him.
It was half an hour later when he finished running the ten kilometers.
Ten kilometers is 10,000 meters, and with an additional 30 kilograms of weight, it was still acceptable for him. Half an hour was neither too long nor too bad; it was just a fairly average result.
Moreover, since this small hill has both uphill and downhill sections, this result has no reference value and can only be considered as ordinary training.
Bai Yu only ran a 10-kilometer cross-country race in the morning, and that was it; he was left to his own devices.
Just when Bai Yu thought the training intensity wasn't high, after lunch, the training continued with another 10-kilometer cross-country run, and then they did it again in the evening.
......
While Bai Yu was training non-stop every day, his company was also keeping busy.
Just after the Lunar New Year, when construction had just resumed and Bai Yu had barely left, the shipyard called Li Shuang to tell them that the new fishing boat had been launched and was ready for delivery at any time.
After receiving the message, Li Shuang, along with Li Xue and her uncle, went to the shipyard.
Fortunately, the shipyard called in time; otherwise, my uncle and his crew would have had to set sail for work a few days later.
As for bringing Li Xue along, she'll definitely have to pay for everything, since Li Xue is the company's accountant and in charge of the finances.
Accompanying them were Uncle Wang and Brother Li, one the captain of the new ship and the other the second mate. They were naturally there to come and see the new ship that was about to be delivered.
"Uncle, is there anything wrong with this boat? If there is, shall we take it away?"
In the captain's cabin of the Yuxue No. 2, Li Xue watched her uncle steer the fishing boat and asked him a question from behind.
"There's no problem. The ship's configuration is the same as the Yuxue. The shipyard's craftsmanship is trustworthy."
"If you want to take it away, I have no objection, but for the distance home, let Old Wang drive it."
In the captain's cabin, besides Uncle Da and Li Xue, Uncle Wang and Brother Li were also there. This captain's cabin would be their workplace from now on.
Then the eldest uncle gave up the helm and let Uncle Wang take the helm, while Brother Li stood behind Uncle Wang, learning some boat-driving experience.
Then they drove Yuxue No. 2 back to the county and parked it next to Yuxue No. 2.
"Brother Zhang, I'll have someone transfer the final payment for this fishing boat to your shipyard later. Also, I wanted to ask how the squid fishing boat we ordered is coming along, and how long until delivery?"
Back in the county, Li Xue took out a black bag containing some local specialties and handed it to Brother Zhang.
Then I asked about the progress of another ship built by their company and when it could be delivered.
It's not that they can't wait, but they want to know a rough delivery date so their company can start recruiting.
Although there are quite a few seafarers working at sea, recruiting is not as easy as one might imagine.
Especially since they are fishing boats, the work at sea is a bit tiring, and it's even more difficult to recruit people.
Of course, the difficulty in recruiting people does not refer to Bai Yu's company.
A month has passed since their company reposted the video of their pre-Lunar New Year annual meeting, and they still receive private messages from time to time from people wanting to come work at the company.
For their company, what they need to do is to select a group of reliable and promising employees from among these people.
"Oh, Mr. Li, you're still so polite. You can just transfer the final payment to our company account. As for that squid fishing boat you mentioned..."
We're currently in the final stages. If your company is in a hurry, I can talk to the factory and ask them to expedite the process. Delivery could be completed by the end of next month or early April.
Without hesitation, Brother Zhang took the black bag that Li Xue handed him and answered her question.
This wasn't the first time Brother Zhang had dealt with Yuxue Shipping Company. He knew they wouldn't give him a red envelope; the black bag probably only contained a few packs of cigarettes at most.
That's why he was able to take the bag so readily; smoking a few packs of cigarettes from the customer wasn't a big deal for him.
"Brother Zhang, we're not in a hurry. The quality of the fishing boat is the most important thing."
"That's easy to say. The fishing boats that come out of our shipyard have all undergone multiple inspections, so we can rest assured about their quality."
......
After chatting with Brother Zhang for a while, Li Xue and the others saw him off.
Li Xue then arranged the work, mobilizing the company's purchasing department to replenish all the necessary supplies for the Yuxue No. 2 fishing boat within three days.
Then he called several managers from the original Yuxue ship, as well as Brother Li, to the company for a meeting to make reasonable arrangements for the management of the new ship.
As for the crew of the new ship, they had already been found. Right after the New Year, Li Xue led a team to screen the resumes received by the company and selected more than 30 new crew members.
The main reason for calling my uncle and the others to the meeting this time was to prepare for the reassignment of the old crew members from the Yuxue fishing boat, and to transfer some of them to the new ship.
After an hour or so of discussion, the personnel appointments for the new ship were finalized.
The captain of the new ship is Uncle Wang, which was decided long ago. The first mate was recommended by Uncle Wang and my uncle, and he was a first mate who jumped ship from their original company.
The second mate was Brother Li, and the third mate was a crew member who was promoted from a third mate certificate.
As for the lower-level team leaders on the new ship, they are veteran crew members from the Yuxue fishing vessel, who were outstanding crew members last year.
The situation on the Yuxue was the same. The original chief mate was promoted to captain, and naturally the second and third mates had to be promoted as well. Then, a third mate was selected from the crew.
The resulting personnel gaps were filled by newly arrived crew members.
In just three days, the new ship was fully equipped with supplies and all the new crew members were in place. Then, on the last day of February, February 28, it left the dock one after the other with the fishing boat Yuxue.
For the crew members on both fishing boats, whether they were new or experienced, everyone was excited the moment the boats set sail; they couldn't wait to get to work.
After all, whether they are new or old crew members, they all understand one thing: the catch of the fishing boat is related to their year-end bonus.
Their salaries were already quite high, and if they worked hard for another year and caught more fish, their year-end bonus could be even higher than their annual salary.
In this situation, how could they not work hard? No one would complain about having too much money.
