By the time Bai Yu and the others returned to Sanya, it was already December 5th.
The first thing Bai Yu did upon returning was to visit the seafood processing plant to check on its construction progress, mainly focusing on the construction of the cold storage facility.
According to the original plan, the seafood processing plant was to build three cold storage facilities with a total storage capacity of about seven or eight hundred tons.
They opened for business after only one cold storage facility was built. Now that so much time has passed, the other two cold storage facilities should be almost finished by now.
Bai Yu can simply ask her father about these issues.
After arriving at the processing plant, Bai Yu went to his father's office.
"Dad, how's the new cold storage at our factory going? Can we increase our order volume and store more goods?"
"What brings you here, kid? Haven't you been training lately? The Olympics are just around the corner, aren't you worried at all?"
As Bai Yu walked into the office, Bai's father did not answer her question, but instead asked a question that interested him.
After all, in Bai's father's view, winning glory for the country is what Bai Yu, as an athlete, should do. As for the factory and company, he and Li Xue and others are there to help him keep an eye on things, so there won't be any problems.
If things don't work out, we can just stop expanding and continue at the current scale. We'll just earn a little less.
"Training? No one has notified me about the training camp. Usually, the training camp for this kind of competition lasts for half a year. Someone should notify me after the New Year. I still have some time before the New Year."
"It hasn't started yet? Isn't exercise supposed to be a long-term thing? How come it's turned into a six-month intensive training period for you?"
"Dad, you wouldn't really understand even if I explained it to you. My situation is different from others; I rely on talent."
Let's not talk about that anymore. I'll go to training when it's time. I definitely won't let it affect my performance. I want the flag to be raised on the little notebook's face more than anyone else!
After some communication, Bai Yu learned about the current situation of the processing plant.
That is, the current processing plant is in a state of insufficient supply. Often, every two days, the employees will have half a day with nothing to do and will be idle in the factory.
During this time, Bai's father also tried to find a solution. He visited various docks in the county and city, inquired with various shipping companies and private fishing boats, and managed to import all the cargo that could be imported.
However, many companies and fishing boats looked down on this newly opened processing plant. After all, the plant already had partners, and if they went there to buy goods without proper authorization, no one would sell to them.
However, it is not feasible for the Yuxue fishing boat to be self-sufficient in the processing plant at the moment. The cycle of a fishing boat's catch is too long. A round trip plus the rest period takes about forty days, and the catch is less than a thousand tons at most.
The catch of over a thousand tons of fish keeps the processing plant busy, which will take at most a week, or maybe half a month, after which the plant will have an extra month of downtime.
According to Bai Yu and his team's estimates, once the shipping company expands to three fishing boats, their company will be able to achieve a state of self-sufficiency.
Bai Yu was quite looking forward to seeing this day, and it wasn't too far off.
After all, of the two new boats that Baiyu ordered, one is already half-built and will be delivered soon, and the remaining squid fishing boat will also be delivered soon.
......
As the days passed, it quickly came to mid-December. On December 17th, Bai's father received a phone call from Liu Tianyu, informing him that their fishing boat, Yuxue, was about to return to the dock.
Liu Tianyu made the call at 8 p.m. on the 17th. He said that the Yuxue boat would dock at the county's pier at 8 a.m. the next day.
He asked his uncle, also known as Bai's father, to arrange for a truck to come to the dock to receive the fish.
According to Liu Tianyu, the fish they brought back this time included many good things, and they were definitely better than his uncle had imagined.
Liu Tianyu also said on the phone that if Bai Yu had nothing else to do, he could come to the dock to take a look, and he would definitely not be disappointed.
After hearing what Liu Tianyu said, Bai Yu's interest was successfully piqued, and he was filled with anticipation for the Yu Xue fishing boat to return to port the next day.
Then he shared the news in the group chat, informing Li Shuang and Xia Jing, who were the company's product and marketing manager and the company's finance manager, respectively.
Tomorrow, when we're taking stock of the harvest, we'll naturally need to call on them.
And so, filled with anticipation, the night passed by.
At six o'clock on the morning of the 18th, Bai Yu and Wang Hai started running on the beach at the entrance of the village. Although Bai Yu did not go to the provincial sports center for training during this period, he did not miss training even when he was at home, and always maintained his best condition.
After running for an hour, when he got home, his father had already prepared breakfast, and the three of them ate breakfast together.
Bai Yu then went back to her room, took a quick shower, changed her clothes, and the three of them went out.
The three of them went to two different places. Bai's father drove Bai's mother to school first, and then he took Bai Yu to the dock.
As for the other person in their family, Li Xue, she goes to work late, while Bai Yu and the others get up early, so they didn't wake her up and let her rest a little longer.
Bai Yu had discussed with his mother about her still having to get up early to go to work every day. Bai Yu's suggestion was that his mother could quit her job and stay home to enjoy her retirement.
If you really want to find something to do, you can go to the processing plant and manage it with Dad.
However, Bai Yu's idea was rejected by her mother. According to her mother, she was used to being a teacher and felt very relaxed being with children.
Bai Yu couldn't say much about it, so he could only let his mother do it. At worst, his father would pick him up from get off work every day.
Before long, Mr. Bai drove to the county dock and parked his car in the designated berth of the Yuxue fishing boat to wait.
The father and son arrived quite early, before 7:30 a.m. As time passed, four large refrigerated trucks and four small refrigerated trucks soon arrived at the dock.
Some of these vehicles belong to the processing plant itself, while others have SF Express logos on their bodies.
Needless to say, the refrigerated truck with the SF Express logo must have been borrowed from Bai's father and his uncle by phone.
Since Yuxue Shipping Company partnered with the SF Express branch owned by my uncle, the latter has become the cold chain branch with the largest cargo volume in their county.
There was no other way. In just over a month, Bai Yu's company sent out nearly a million cold chain express packages through SF Express. A large portion of SF Express's cold chain trucks in Sanya were concentrated near the processing plant.
Besides transporting goods for courier companies, they also take on jobs for processing plants, such as helping them haul goods from the dock, like they are doing now.
A few minutes after the refrigerated truck arrived, Li Shuang and Xia Jing also arrived at the dock. The two of them immediately gathered next to Bai Yu and waited together for the arrival of the Yu Xue ship.
As the clock struck eight, a large blue and white ship appeared on the sea ahead in their field of vision, rapidly approaching the dock.
"Brother Yu, this blue and white fishing boat is our Yuxue, right? There aren't many fishing boats with blue and white colors on our dock."
"Pretty much. Tianyu said yesterday that it would be eight o'clock, and it's eight o'clock now. They should have entered the port by now."
Just as Bai Yu had thought, as the blue and white fishing boat got closer, they saw the paint on the hull, and the two large characters "Yu Xue" (渔雪, meaning "Fishing Snow") came into view.
As soon as the Yuxue ship came to a stop at the dock, Bai Yu immediately led his father and others onto the ship, and then saw Brother Li on the deck.
"Hey, Brother Li, how was your deep-sea fishing trip? Are you settling in well?"
Upon seeing Brother Li on the deck, Bai Yu naturally had to greet him and ask how he was doing, since Brother Li was the second mate on his next fishing boat, a true manager.
"It's alright. Apart from the long time at sea, I've adapted quite well."
"Okay, you'll get used to it! Brother Li, I'll look for you later, I have something to discuss with the Third Officer, so I'll have to go now."
"Okay, you go ahead and get back to work."
After Bai Yu greeted Brother Li, he continued searching for Liu Tianyu on the fishing boat and finally found Liu Tianyu in the crew's cabin.
