With the end of the year fast approaching, everyone at Yuxue Shipping Company, from the CEO to the sales staff, is extremely busy every day.
There were only two exceptions; they arrived at the company at eight o'clock every morning and left at seven o'clock in the afternoon, spending the entire day there.
They seem very busy, but in reality, they don't do much serious work at the company except play games every day.
Who are these two people?
Those must be Bai Yu and Wang Hai, people in the company who are more like employees than actual employees.
Of course, besides playing games, the two of them did other things every day.
For example, Bai Yu would talk to customers who came to the store about cooperation and sell salmon. For orders that other salespeople were unsure about, Bai Yu would help them determine the final price.
In just a few days, 1,400 tons of the more than 10,000 tons of sockeye salmon were sold, with an average price of 85 yuan per kilogram.
This average price differs between seeded and seedless products.
The 1,400 tons of salmon brought their company a profit of over 200 million yuan.
After selling 1,400 tons of sockeye salmon, they still have over 10,000 tons left. If they sell it all at an average price of 85 yuan per kilogram, that's 170,000 yuan per ton.
The company's staff calculated that it could bring in over two billion yuan in revenue for their company.
This is two billion, not two million, not twenty million, not even two hundred million, but a ten-figure sum of two billion.
The most crucial point is that their company's cost for this trip to sea was very low. The round-trip fuel cost for ten fishing boats was only 40 to 50 million yuan, and there is still fuel left in the tanks of the fishing boats.
The only other costs are manpower and material consumption, which are negligible.
The only significant cost was that their fishing boats couldn't go out to sea again until all the sockeye salmon were sold.
After all, they had too many fish, and their company didn't have enough space to store the sockeye salmon, so they could only temporarily keep them on the fishing boat.
Apart from that, there were no major consumptions.
While Bai Yu was busy at Yuxue Shipping Company, he received a phone call from the South China Sea. The caller had some news to share.
Bai Yu, who was idly playing games, immediately stood up from her chair and was about to leave, ignoring the game.
Before this, Bai Yu never left the game running, but now she's willing to abandon her teammates and do something else because of a game?
Upon realizing this, Wang Hai immediately understood and shouted at Bai Yu, who was walking outside:
"Brother Yu, this game is about to end. Where are you going? If you leave now, we might not be able to win."
"Something terrible has happened, Ah Hai! You have to come with me right now. I'll take you to see a really amazing treasure. Forget about the games for now, let's get going!"
Bai Yu completely ignored what Wang Hai said. The contents of the phone call were still replaying in his mind, and he didn't want to hear anything else.
Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Wang Hai did not hesitate. He put down his mouse, stood up, and followed Bai Yu outside.
Bai Yu originally wanted to call Li Shuang and the others, but unfortunately, after wandering around the company, she only found Li Xue, Xia Jing and Lu Sheng. Li Shuang had disappeared.
Then, when they arrived at the company entrance and got into Bai Yu's car, Li Xue asked a question in confusion.
"Brother Xiaobai, where are you taking us? You won't tell us when I ask. We have work to do this afternoon. If it's not important, I won't go."
"Go, everyone must go. Anyone who doesn't go today will regret it for the rest of their life. Just listen to me."
Ah Sheng, call Shuangzi and ask him where he is right now. Something important is waiting for him!
"Ah Hai, I told you to bring your HD camera and tripod, right? Don't forget anything. We're going to do something important today, and we need to record everything!"
After Bai Yu finished speaking, everyone present looked at her with surprise.
Although Bai Yu hasn't said where they're going or what they're going to do this time, judging from Bai Yu's current behavior, something big might really be happening.
Then they all fell silent and sat quietly in their seats, staring intently at the road ahead.
Lu Sheng quickly contacted Li Shuang, who was at the processing plant helping customers choose goods.
Bai Yu didn't stand on ceremony with Li Shuang either, simply saying, "I'll have Ah Sheng send you a location share. Follow the shared location; you'll regret it if you don't."
If it weren't for that last sentence, Bai Yu might not have gone, since he's been incredibly busy lately and is really struggling to keep up.
But since Bai Yu said he would regret it if he didn't go, he had no choice but to go and see for himself, otherwise he would really regret it later.
Bai Hao then drove to a pier in Sanya. This pier was a little different from ordinary piers. Although it allowed private vehicles to come, it only allowed people with ID cards to come.
What does this mean? It means that this dock is only for Chinese people, and foreigners are not allowed to enter without permission.
It can't even drive a car with a "T" license plate in.
When they saw Bai Yu drive to the dock, the four Lu students who came with him were a little confused. What was going on? What big thing was going to happen at the dock?
Could it be that their company has another new ship about to be launched?
But that doesn't make sense either. The new ship isn't delivered here, but at a dock near the shipyard, which is quite a distance away.
Why did Bai Yu bring them here?
With these questions in mind, Lu Sheng and the others did not rush to ask Bai Yu before the vehicle stopped.
As the vehicle continued deeper into the area, suddenly a ship flying a national flag came into view, and they immediately understood why Bai Yu had brought them here.
The ships weren't their company's fishing boats; those were two different concepts. The dock that Bai Yu brought them to was a dock where ships were moored, and the significance of that was self-evident.
After all, their company still has an unconventional ship order that hasn't been delivered yet.
"Brother Bai, you brought us here, it couldn't be because...?"
You don't need to say everything; just touch on the point. Everyone here will understand.
"Yes, that's what you think. I just received a call telling me to come over."
The reason I brought you all along is because I was really afraid you'd regret it and resent me for not telling you about this great opportunity.
Ah Sheng, ask Shuangzi where he is. We're almost there, and time is almost up. Could you urge him again?
"Brother Yu, are you really going to go into the water? You're not kidding us, are you? Why wasn't there any announcement beforehand?"
Compared to Bai Yu's suggestion to urge Li Shuang, Lu Sheng was more interested in whether what Bai Yu said was true, and why they hadn't received any prior warning.
"What's there to say? Our ship is a Type 052D destroyer, not the Fujian-class destroyer. There's no need to make a big fuss about it."
I just got this call at the last minute. Our Yuxue is about to be launched; the hull number has already been decided. We're just here to watch the launching ceremony and that's it.
That's right, the thing that made Bai Yu so excited was that the ship built with donations from their company and named after their company was about to be launched.
Bai Yu and his company donated a total of 3.5 billion yuan to barely cover the construction costs of the Yuxue ship.
Actually, Bai Yu and his group benefited from this; they took advantage of our family's desire to promote patriotism to obtain the naming rights.
Otherwise, considering our family's situation, 3.5 billion is just a drop in the ocean compared to the overall defense budget.
It was only due to the turbulence of the international situation, the promotion of patriotic policies in China, and Bai Yu's innocent background that a combination of factors managed to secure a naming right for their company.
And it's possible that only their company has this right; it's hard to say whether other companies will be able to obtain this naming right in the future.
Bai Yu's vehicle was quickly stopped, and it wasn't ordinary security guards who stopped him, but naval soldiers who had arrived at the military area of the dock.
The dock that Bai Yu and his group came to is for both military and civilian use, but the military side is guarded and not open to the public except on exhibition days.
Even though it's not open to the public, there are still a lot of tourists watching around it, since there are all kinds of warships docked at the beach.
These warships range from large to small, and there is even a Type 055 destroyer docked at the pier. It is unclear whether it is stationed there permanently or is just docked for resupply.
After being informed, Bai Yu's vehicle was allowed to enter. Under the guidance of the soldiers, Bai Yu stopped the car, and then he and his group got out of the car.
A few minutes later, another Hongqi sedan drove in, and Li Shuang got out of it.
Once all six of them were present, Bai Yu had an officer lead them to the designated area.
"Shuangzi, where have you been? We've been standing here for ten minutes waiting for you. Look at the time! We're about to miss our swim."
"Brother Yu, I was busy with work. As soon as I received the news, I drove over immediately without stopping."
"But Brother Yu, are you sure it's really our Yuxue that's going to be launched? Don't let it turn out to be another ship launching in the end."
"Don't worry, their leader wouldn't lie to us. If he says it's the Yuxue, then it's the Yuxue. There's no mistake. Just relax."
Amidst the whispers of Bai Yu and the others, they turned a corner, and their view immediately opened up.
In their view, a colossal vessel was moored in the dock by the sea. The ship was over a hundred meters long, at least twice the length of the Yuxue fishing boat.
As for the ship's hull, it was equipped with all sorts of high-tech equipment, such as satellite radar and several spheres, which Bai Yu and his companions couldn't identify.
In addition, the ship was covered with various colorful ribbons, and it was clear at a glance that the ship was ready to be launched.
At the bow of the ship is a three-digit number: 197.
This number is also the hull number of this 052d destroyer, which is also known as the Yuxue.
As for the meaning of the number 197, Bai Yu asked the people in the South China Sea, who said that 197 is the year Bai Yu was born.
Bai Yu felt extremely honored by this explanation; it was an honor to have his birth year used as his hull number.
