As the saying goes, human beings have different joys and sorrows. Just when Su Mo had to go to the port to unload because the crab fishing boat was too small to load more king crabs.

On the other side, Su Mo's colleague Sun Haiyang was worried.

This is not Sun Haiyang’s first year as a captain. Although he came to the Bering Sea in the first two years and ended up with losses, he felt that his ship was not big enough, the equipment was not advanced enough, and the sailors were not working hard enough.

So this year he learned from the experience and directly spent all his belongings to rent the advanced "Wind". He even spent a lot of money to recruit a group of veteran sailors to prepare to avenge his shame.

When he first went out to sea, he was very confident, even when he picked up the first few crab pots, because although the harvest could not be called a liquidation, it was definitely not bad.

But then the harvest in the crab pots began to plummet. You must know that although the crab pots he released this time were spaced, they also stretched for 80 kilometers. If he continued at this pace, he would go bankrupt.

And because he put too many crab pots, it takes a lot of time to collect and release them. If there is a harvest, forget it. But when the harvest is bleak, it only takes a few rounds of collection and release, and this year's crab fishing season will be over.

For a moment, Sun Haiyang, who was sitting in the warm spring captain's cabin wearing short sleeves, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He gritted his teeth and determined to speed up, first put away these crab pots, and then look for new crabs.

But he still underestimated the extreme weather in the Bering Sea. Just now, the Gale was suddenly hit by an 8-meter-high wave. The hull shook violently, and the crew members working on the deck suddenly became unsteady. , some people even almost fell into the sea.

But Sun Haiyang, who was eager for quick success, couldn't control so much. He immediately ordered the crew to brave the waves to recover the floats in the sea. Thanks to the very sophisticated equipment on the Gale, even the hooks used to hook the floats were launched by machines. Otherwise, This is a job that almost no one can do.

But even so, when the crew members braved huge waves and hoisted the crab pots onto the boat with a single-arm crane, their faces suddenly fell.

Because there are only a few king crabs in this crab pot, and the rest are worthless catches, which is extremely miserable.

Seeing this, Sun Haiyang in the captain's cabin also scratched his head irritably.

Before he could issue new instructions, a huge wave hit again. A crew member was accidentally hit by the wave and was instantly knocked to the ground. Even his foot accidentally hit the crane platform.

By the time other crew members helped him up, the young crew member was already pale and could not stand firmly.

Seeing the situation on the deck, Sun Haiyang's heart tightened. Although he had recruited a lot of crew members this time, the ship was big after all. It could be said that it was like a carrot and a pit. If one of them fell off the chain, maybe It will affect the operation of the entire crab fishing boat.

So he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Is everything okay? If nothing happens, clear the deck and let's go fish out a crab pot."

On the deck, hearing the sound coming from the loudspeaker, the injured crew member almost fell to the ground again, and several crew members also began to complain and began to refuse to work.

They braved such a big storm to work for Sun Haiyang. Now someone was injured. Not only did he not say a word of comfort, but he also asked everyone to continue working.

I simply treat everyone like cattle and horses!

When Sun Haiyang saw their appearance, he felt very angry, but he also knew that he couldn't do it without them, so he could only let the crew members who were willing to work continue to work, and asked his subordinates to bring the injured crew member over for a lecture.

In the warm captain's room, Sun Haiyang glanced at the three crew members in front of him and said with a straight face: "I offered you a monthly salary of 8, which is not low. Now I need you to return to your post. Go ahead and continue working, can you?”

What he means is very clear, if you don't go back to work, you will lose this "high-paying" job.

But the injured crew member shook his head: "I'm sorry, Captain, I'm injured and I need to rest for a day."

Hearing this, Sun Haiyang almost jumped up. How could he afford to wait now?

But he finally suppressed his anger and winked at another crew member.

The crew member immediately understood what the captain meant and immediately said: "If my leg is injured, even if it is inconvenient to walk, I will definitely limp through this month. This is our glorious mission as a crew member!"

This guy's words may sound loud and clear, but he is actually the most annoying "scab" in everyone's work! Moreover, he is actually Sun Haiyang's confidant, and he was called here just for now.

And Sun Haiyang immediately sang a double act with him, "Look, if you are all as good as him, I will keep you even if I give you an additional salary of 1 yuan."

But the injured crew member was completely disheartened and shook his head stubbornly: "Captain, I really need to take a day off. If you think it's not possible, then you can fire me."

Sun Haiyang didn't expect this guy to be so courageous, so he could only wave his hand helplessly, "Then you go back, you won't get your salary this month, and get out of here after you return to China."

Hearing this, the crew member didn't say a word, limped open the door and left the captain's cabin.

At this time, Sun Haiyang looked at his confidants and said: "Then you will work hard during this period. You will take over his work. I will give you bonuses when we get back."

The two people didn't expect that they would get such "benefits". They were dumb for a while and left in silence.

Because of the existence of "scabs", although most of the crew members on the Hayate were somewhat dissatisfied, they continued to work after all.

But when they collected the last crab pot, they still didn't harvest many crabs. In this round, they only caught a total of 2000 kilograms of king crabs, most of which were harvested from the first few pots.

Seeing this, Sun Haiyang still refused to give up and decided to immediately go to the next place to release the cage. He now has to catch crabs to prove that he made the right choice.

But at this time, the crew members had been working continuously for more than thirty hours, and the rest time they got was only the short ten minutes between collecting the crab pots and going to the next crab pot, and during this period Clean up the messy deck within the time limit.

When they heard that Sun Haiyang was going to continue placing crab pots, the crew members couldn't bear it anymore. They ignored his instructions and went back to their cabins to sleep.

Even the few "scabs" were no exception, leaving only a dirty deck.

The crew's appeal is also very simple, that is, they must be given a day's rest, otherwise they will never continue to work.

This is a strike.

Sun Haiyang was very angry and kept shouting in his heart: "I will fire you all when I get back!"

Although Sun Haiyang was very angry, the deck still had to be tidied up, otherwise it would be bad if the ice formed and damaged the equipment.

So he could only put on his down jacket and a raincoat, and went to the deck to clean it up in person. When he got to the deck, he finally realized how cold it was on the deck at this time.

No matter how much people wear, they will immediately shiver with cold wind and sea water.

After working for a while, Sun Haiyang felt that he couldn't stand it anymore.

When the crew saw his behavior, not only did they have no intention of helping, they even became more disappointed with him.

The crew here are all veterans and have been to the Bering Sea many times. They now finally understand the reason why Sun Haiyang's harvest has been so dismal in the past two years.

It was not the stormy waves on the Bering Sea that killed a crew member, but an incompetent captain!

Seeing that there were no crew members to help him, Sun Haiyang finally had no choice but to compromise and agreed to go back to Anadyr Bay to rest for a day before returning to continue fishing for crabs.
