Riverside police

Chapter 184 Shipping Company’s Trouble

Han Yu is indeed very busy, repairing and maintaining 001 with Captain Wang, Zhu Baogen, Master Zhou and Liang Xiaoyu.

Since the modification, upgrade and put into use, 001 has performed tasks such as rescue, escort, rescue and disaster relief, combating water bandit ships, and assisting port surveillance and customs law enforcement.

The operation of such a large load is a big test for the equipment and engine personnel. Routine basic maintenance alone cannot guarantee the normal operation of the equipment. To put the ship into dry dock, it is necessary to put a lot of pressure on the hull and the main equipment of the whole ship. and a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the system.

Moreover, it will be 1990 in one month. After New Year's Day, the eel-fishing battle will begin again. For 001 to play its role, it must be in the best condition.

Boss Wu's Bailonggang Shipyard is now called Linghai Ship Repair Factory. It has moved to the riverside and built a dry dock. There are no ships in the dock these days.

Han Yu and Captain Wang discussed it and took advantage of this precious opportunity to drive in 001, which had just assisted the customs in combating smuggling, and race against time for maintenance.

"Xianyu, there are three cracks in the propeller. Should we weld it or replace it?"

"Does Curry have any spare ones?"

"have."

"Replace it with a new one. This one is from before. I don't know how many years it has been used, and I don't know how many times it has been welded."

"Let's replace the rudder as well. The rudder needs to be welded more often."

"OK."

Han Yu held the dock repair project list and recorded the spare parts to be replaced.

Some work theories are important, but practice is more important.

For example, many people who use machines are illiterate, but after using them for a period of time, they will be able to repair and disassemble them, and even understand some basic principles without a teacher.

Zhu Baogen is now a qualified engineer. While he was busy knocking out the rust on the bottom of the ship, he looked at Liang Xiaoyu who was cleaning the mud in the valve box on the bottom of the ship and asked: "Xiaoyu, how is your dad's business these days?"

"It's very good. I made more than 30 yuan yesterday. There were many boats on the river the day before yesterday, so I made 76 yuan!"

"Have you obtained the license to sell cigarettes?"

"In the past, there was no store on the shore, so it was difficult to apply for a business license. The tobacco company would not apply for the license. Now we have a store on the shore, with a business license, and the tobacco license has also been obtained."

Xu Institute's work of poverty alleviation and caring for the lonely elderly has been very successful.

Under his witness, Liang Xiaoyu's mother became Lao Qian's goddaughter, and Liang Xiaoyu became Lao Qian's grandson.

Lao Qian first paid for the Liang Xiaoyu family to buy the agricultural machinery warehouse of the Bailonggang Second Team, giving the Liang family a home on the shore.

Immediately afterwards, he spent money to buy a small two-stroke gasoline engine and installed it on Liang Xiaoyu’s small fishing boat.

Then he took advantage of working in the supply and marketing cooperative for so many years and took Liang Xiaoyu's father Liang Youcai to wholesale small commodities, to the pig slaughtering station to purchase pork, to the salt company to wholesale salt, to the sugar, tobacco and alcohol company and the tobacco company to wholesale sugar, tobacco and alcohol... …

Liang Xiaoyu's father just started selling food on the river on a small fishing boat. Considering that it was difficult to get a business license to open a canteen on a boat, he simply opened a small shop in his new home not far from the ship lock.

Liang Xiaoyu's mother wants to treat Lao Qian as her biological father, and Liang Xiaoyu's father wants to treat Lao Qian as his real father-in-law. He will respect Lao Qian in the future and provide for Lao Qian until his death.

It is worth mentioning that ship owners and crews engaged in water transportation value time more than anything else. After all, one more trip means money. If you need any daily necessities, you can buy them on the water. As long as the price is not too expensive, you will definitely not go to the shore.

Moreover, his family also opened a small shop by the lock. His mother was watching the shop on the shore, and it was not too far for people to go ashore to buy.

His family sells many products, from firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea to washing powder, soap, toothpaste, clothes drying racks, plastic buckets, to pork, eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, tobacco and alcohol, and even fruits and vegetables. The business is getting better and better. The better.

At Captain Wang's suggestion, his family also plans to sell some diesel engine parts.

Earning dozens or even hundreds a day, it is conceivable that his family will soon knock down the warehouse and rebuild it.

When Lao Qian was having lunch, he even suggested that it be done in one step, either not building it or building a two-story small western-style building!

A poverty-stricken family has just turned around and is living a prosperous life. Han Yu is really envious.

Thinking about the fact that Lao Qian now has a daughter, son-in-law and grandson, and does not need to go to a nursing home in his later years, Han Yu felt very relieved and couldn't help but joked: "Xiaoyu, you can no longer call me Xianyugan, you have to call me Uncle Xianyu."

"You are only a few months older than me, why should I call you Uncle?"

"I call your grandpa Uncle Qian, and I'm senior to you. If you call me Xianyugan again, wouldn't it mean that I'm neither older nor younger?"

Captain Wang laughed and said, "Yes, Xiaoyu, according to your seniority, you should be called Uncle Xianyu."

Xu Suo's decision to let Xiao Yu's mother be Lao Qian's goddaughter was carefully considered. First, at Lao Qian's age, he could be Xiao Yu's grandfather, so it was inappropriate for Xiao Yu to be Lao Qian's godson.

Second, Xiaoyu has a father, so it is not appropriate to ask for a godfather.

Considering that Xiaoyu's grandfather is still alive, it would not be good for Xiaoyu's father to ask Lao Qian as his godfather, because then Xiaoyu would have two grandfathers.

Xiaoyu's grandfather passed away a long time ago, and his family used to be a fisherman. His mother had long lost contact with her natal family, so it was appropriate for Xiaoyu's mother to ask Lao Qian to be her godfather.

What's more important is that Xiaoyu is still young, and Laoqian is already sixty-three, and his health is getting worse day by day. Let Xiaoyu be the godson of Lao Qian, which means that Xiaoyu has to bear the responsibility of supporting the elderly that he should not bear at his age.

Let Xiaoyu's parents take care of him, and everyone is happy.

The people of Xiaoyu's family did not disappoint Xu Suo. Not to mention how kind they were to Lao Qian. After buying the warehouse, they separated several rooms and left the best one for Lao Qian.

Lao Qian no longer lives on the barge. He has long since moved into Xiao Yu's house and cooks every day as if he were off work.

Lao Qian doesn't fish much at ordinary times. Whenever he has some time, he helps Xiaoyu's mother look after the store.

Yesterday, I rode a bicycle with Xiaoyu's grandfather for more than ten kilometers to find an old Chinese medicine doctor to help Xiaoyu's grandfather treat his sore leg.

They are truly a family now.

It was as if he and his senior sister had become a family.

Han Yu teased Xiaoyu, and couldn't help but think of his senior sister, and subconsciously looked towards the shore.

Because the senior sister called me in the morning and said that she would drive a small Qingqi to pick him up and take him back to Binjiang in the afternoon.

As for the next maintenance of 001, the project will be determined today, and the remaining work can be left to Captain Wang and Lao Zhu.

However, instead of waiting for the senior sister, he first waited for Xu Suo's call.

"Xianyu Xianyu, got the reply."

"Received, received, Xu Suo, please speak."

"You and Captain Wang put your work aside for a moment, wash your hands and go back to the office."

"Is something wrong?"

"It's okay. Why did I call you back? Come on, I'll wait for you."

"yes!"

Han Yu called Captain Wang and quickly washed his hands and returned to the barge.

When I rushed to the conference room on the second floor, I saw five people sitting there. One looked like a big leader, one was Political Commissar Ding, one was Director Ge from the Transportation Bureau, and the other two were very familiar to each other.

One is Manager Jiang of the shipping company, and the other is Fan Changjiang, the current tug captain of the shipping company.

"County Magistrate Gu, this is Comrade Xianyu, the youngest police officer in our office. This is Captain Wang, a retired cadre from the shipping company."

Xu Sanye took the main seat as always, took the cigarette from Director Ge, and continued to introduce: "Xianyu, Captain Wang, this is our Deputy County Magistrate Gu in Linghai, who is in charge of transportation."

The deputy county magistrate is actually here, something big must be happening.

Han Yu calmed down, stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, County Magistrate Gu."

Captain Wang retired long ago, let alone the deputy county magistrate, even if the deputy mayor comes, it will be nothing.

Moreover, when I used my residual enthusiasm at the Yanjiang Police Station, I met many big leaders, and the deputy director level was not even ranked.

He nodded slightly and looked at the leader of his old unit with a puzzled look.

Xu Sanye didn't like to be muddled, so he asked the two of them to sit down and said sideways: "Manager Jiang, Captain Fan, and Captain Wang are your old colleagues, and Xianyu is a son of your shipping company. I don't need to introduce more, let's officially start. Let’s talk about what’s going on first.”

Manager Jiang knew that although Xu Sanye was not the director of public security, he was more powerful than the director of public security. He said with a bitter face: "Xu Suo, we didn't want to come here to trouble you. It was County Magistrate Gu and Bureau Ge who asked us to come together."

"Come here, let's get down to business."

Xu Sanye raised his arm and looked at his watch, and then said lightly: "I just helped the customs arrest dozens of smugglers and seized millions of smuggled cigarettes. Not only did Commissioner Tang of the customs want to treat me to dinner, but he also planned to sponsor our bureau. A Santana, I can’t keep him waiting.”

Deputy County Magistrate Gu sounded a little sour, coughed dryly, and urged: "Manager Jiang, I also have a meeting tonight, so hurry up."

"OK."

Manager Jiang calmed down, hurriedly took out a notebook from his briefcase, and told about the troubles the shipping company had encountered.

"Xu Suo, Lao Wang, doesn't our county have a coal mine in Xuzhou? Our shipping company has been responsible for transporting the coal used by the county's power plants and several enterprises for so many years. It not only solves the county's needs The coal problem has also solved the livelihood of many employees of our company."

Linghai does not have coal resources, but Xuzhou City does.

Many years ago, many areas without coal resources, including Binjiang, went to Xuzhou to mine.

Zhang Er's father turned out to be an employee of the county coal company and died in an accident while mining coal.

The famous reporter Wang was originally an employee of Sigang Coal Company. He went to Xuzhou to dig coal when he was fifteen or sixteen years old.

But he was self-taught and could write good articles. He was first transferred back to the Sigang County Party Committee Propaganda Department, and later he was admitted to university through his own efforts. After graduation, he was hired by Binjiang People's Broadcasting Station.

Xu Sanye has presided over the county's public security work, and even helped a shipping company solve a theft case involving a huge amount of money. He knew these situations very well, and knocked on the table: "Let's talk about the key points!"

Manager Jiang was startled and said hurriedly: "In the past, running once a month was a good business. But in recent years, I can't run anymore, and the more I run, the more I lose. This year's situation is even less optimistic, because I helped the coal company Xuzhou lost more than 400,000 yuan while hauling coal, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so we can’t even pay our employees’ wages.”

To go to Xuzhou to pull coal, you have to pass through the Grand Canal!

Han Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly when he realized what trouble the shipping company had encountered.

In the first half of the year, Xu Sanye inspected countless ships to combat water banditry, and collected a large number of clues about illegal crimes on the water by asking crew members from all over the world. People mentioned more than once how rampant water banditry was on the Grand Canal, and he was equally aware of it. Why shipping companies lose money.

Manager Jiang didn't know what Xu Sanye was thinking, and said with a sad face: "As long as our fleet goes to Xuzhou to pull coal, it will be blackmailed by the 'Tiger Team' on the canal. At least twice, once when we go, and once when we come back. Once, sometimes four or five times.

The gangsters who blackmailed us used cargo transportation as a cover. They formed a fleet of scattered individual ships, anchored in a unit in certain places, and specifically caused trouble for the fleets of state-owned enterprises like us on the canal. "

Xu Sanye picked up the pen, opened the notebook, and asked coldly: "Why are they causing trouble for you?"

"In January this year, our fleet passed through Suqian and sailed in the same direction as a local 'tiger team'. They deliberately deviated from the channel and collided with our fleet. Although we took avoidance measures, the two ships came close to each other. It was too close and a collision still occurred.”

Manager Jiang took a deep breath and continued: "They only had one ship whose guardrail wood was slightly deformed, and the accident was entirely caused by their driver on duty. However, they indiscriminately gathered more than a dozen people at once, and first forcibly removed one of the guardrails. They took away the cables worth more than 1,000 yuan, then ran to the tugboat cab, threatened Captain Fan, and demanded 30,000 yuan in compensation from us.”

"Are you compensated?" Xu Sanye asked.

Captain Fan raised his head and said helplessly: "There were so many of them that we neither dared to report the crime nor delay the ship schedule. We had no choice but to talk it over and ended up paying 6,000 yuan in compensation."

There is not only the Grand Canal but also a lake in Suqian, and the economic development is backward. The Suqian Public Security Bureau is poorer than the Linghai Public Security Bureau. It is estimated that there are only a few contract policemen and joint defense team members. Their limited police force cannot take care of the water. normal.

Moreover, the public security management of the canal is relatively chaotic. This side of the river belongs to this county, and the other side of the river belongs to that county. Several counties or even several cities are bounded by each other. No one can tell whose jurisdiction it belongs to.

Xu Sanye realized that they were in big trouble and asked in a low voice: "Is there more?"

"have."

Manager Jiang toasted a cigarette, lit it and continued: "In February, our fleet went to Xuzhou to pull coal. After entering Pizhou, the 'Tiger Team' deliberately anchored the ship in the main channel. We couldn't avoid it. , accidentally collided.

Their ship did not cause any damage, but more than a dozen crew members from the ship and individual crew members from nearby ships came at once. They started fighting indiscriminately against more than a dozen employees, including Captain Fan, and then asked for compensation. The 'potential loss' is 20,000 yuan, otherwise we won't be allowed to leave. "

Xu Sanye asked with a gloomy face: "Are you compensated?

"They were so outnumbered that all our people were injured, and the fleet passed there every month. Our company's deputy manager, Lao Zhang, was also on board that time. He really had no choice but to pay 20,000 yuan in compensation. .”

"Go on."

Manager Jiang said it together, which sounded outrageous.

As long as they went to haul coal once, they would be extorted twice or even three or four times, and sometimes the crew members were even beaten.

The most serious incident was last month, when their fleet carrying more than 3,000 tons of coal was sailing in Pizhou when it was followed by a severely overloaded individual ship carrying more than 130 tons of coal.

Due to the large number of ships and the high density of ships in that section, the shipping company's fleet slowed down while the individual ships following it were still traveling at the same speed.

Due to severe overloading and speed, its bow hit the stern of the last barge in the shipping company's fleet.

The individual ship sank!

Although the responsibility for this accident should be entirely attributed to the individual ship, seven or eight people from the owner of the sunken ship and nearby individual ship owners came at once. They first beat Captain Fan and then demanded compensation for the loss of the ship and cargo.

Captain Fan didn't want to swallow his anger any longer. After docking, he asked an employee to quietly report to the local port supervisor and ask local law enforcement officers to handle the incident.

But that group relied on the support of local forces and did not listen to the law enforcement officers and did not let the boat go.

When it comes to water traffic accidents, calling the police is useless.

Manager Jiang rushed over at night and searched all relevant local departments to no avail. In the end, the fleet was able to return after paying a compensation of 150,000 yuan.

Even if the shipping company has to pay for each trip, no matter how much money it has, it won’t be enough to compensate.

Deputy County Magistrate Gu put out his cigarette butt and said solemnly: "Comrade Sanye, I know this is not your responsibility, but now the shipping company is suffering serious losses, and we dare not and cannot go to Xuzhou to pull coal anymore.

But if we really don’t do it, the power plant will have no coal to burn and there will be a power outage. Dozens of enterprises in the county will have no coal available, which will affect normal production.

It is no exaggeration to say that even workers in several textile factories cannot take a shower after get off work because the companies use boilers to boil water, and boilers cannot run out of coal. "

Xu Sanye did not express an opinion, but asked in a low voice: "Manager Jiang and Captain Fan, did the extortion mainly occur in the section from Siyang to Pizhou?"

Manager Jiang quickly said: "Yes, the 'Tiger Team' mainly operates in that area. They are blatant and have no scruples."

If you encounter this kind of thing on the Yangtze River, you can crack down on it through the water branch.

Even if you are not in the riverside waters, you can ask the fishery bureau to report to your superiors and join forces with the brothers' water branch of the public security bureau along the river to attack.

But every time the shipping company is extorted, it happens on the Grand Canal, and Xu Sanye is beyond his reach, no matter how wild he is.

Political Commissar Ding, who had been silent until now, raised his head and whispered: "County Magistrate Gu, there are many coal ships on the river. There are sea-going ships that transport coal from the north, and there are even ocean-going ships that import coal from abroad. It is said that the price is no better than what we get from Xu. The coal brought back from Xuzhou is more expensive and the quality is even better than the coal we bring back from Xuzhou."

"Are you saying you won't do it and will buy coal from somewhere else?"

"This is probably the best thing at hand."

Deputy County Magistrate Gu looked around the crowd and said helplessly: "Comrades, I also know that this is a once and for all solution, but it not only involves the shipping company, but also involves our Linghai mine in Xuzhou. If we do not purchase What will happen to so many miners if they dig their own coal, and who will pay their wages?”

Political Commissar Ding asked cautiously: "Can't it be sold locally?"

“Coal is produced over there, can it be sold at a high price there?”

Deputy County Magistrate Gu asked rhetorically, and then said: "And the county must take into account the shortage of coal. If various production materials are in short supply and prices skyrocket like last year, our own mines will be abandoned and our own miners will be scattered." Now, what will we do then?”

A leader is a leader, standing higher than others and seeing farther than others.

What people consider is employment and whether the county's coal supply can be stable.

Political Commissar Ding had nothing to say, so he lit a cigarette and stopped making any sound.

Han Yu believed that what Political Commissar Ding said made sense. After all, the northern section of the Grand Canal was too chaotic, otherwise his parents would not have refused to haul goods there all these years.

At this time, Xu Sanye put out his cigarette butts, knocked on the table and said, "This matter is indeed troublesome, but it is not difficult to solve."

Political Commissar Ding subconsciously asked: "Sanye, how do you plan to solve this problem?"

"Lao Ge is also here today. When he came to investigate the location of the ferry a few months ago, I told Lao Ge that my Yanjiang Police Station does not owe the county or the Transportation Bureau, but it owes the shipping company. Because 001 belongs to the shipping company."

Xu Sanye pointed at Manager Jiang and Captain Fan, and then at Captain Wang and Han Yu: "Mr. Yu, as a public security officer in Linghai, I cannot turn a blind eye to Linghai companies being extorted over and over again, let alone The employees of our company in Linghai were beaten by criminals and turned a blind eye.

Privately speaking, our Linghai Public Security Bureau took advantage of the shipping company and bought a tugboat from the shipping company without spending a penny. Moreover, Captain Wang and Xianyu are both retired cadres of the shipping company, and the other is a son of the shipping company. Now that the shipping company is in trouble, I cannot stand by and watch. "

"Xu Suo..."

"Manager Jiang, let me finish first."

Xu Sanye pointed at Han Yu again and said in a measured tone: "Xianyu is learning to drive a sea-going ship at the East China Sea Shipping Bureau. The Shipping Bureau not only has passenger ships but also ocean-going ships. Ocean-going ships are equivalent to mobile territory and are sacrosanct.

The same is true for shipping companies. The shipping company's fleet is the mobile jurisdiction of our Linghai Public Security Bureau. As the chief of the Yanjiang Police Station and the captain of the Water Security Police Brigade, I, Xu Sanye, have the authority to take charge! "

It seems this trip was not in vain...

Deputy County Magistrate Gu couldn't help but ask: "Comrade Sanye, how do you plan to take care of it?"

Xu Sanye weighed it up, clenched his fists and said, "I plan to take a four-pronged approach. First, we need to organize an armed escort. If the criminals dare to extort money again, we will arrest them one by one. We will capture them first!"

Secondly, investigators were dispatched from the Criminal Investigation Brigade to investigate and collect evidence to find out which criminals were extorting the shipping company's fleet before.

We can't just settle the past matters like this. Once we have enough evidence, we will settle the accounts for them later and do our best to recover the losses of the shipping company. "

Deputy County Magistrate Gu was just transferred this year. He had only heard that Xu Sanye was very wild before, but today he finally saw it and asked, "What else?"

"Then we need to report to the provincial department through our municipal bureau's Water Bureau, and strive to attract the attention of superiors like the attack on water bandits and boat tyrants on the river. Finally, we need to mobilize the media. Reporter Wang from Binjiang People's Broadcasting Station has worked in a coal mine and has feelings for coal mines. He will also be interested in such news, please help expose it!"

Xu Sanye thought for a while and looked at Han Yu again: "Xianyu, you don't need to go to the water branch to study with the class. Take the time to repair the ship. When 001 is inspected and repaired, change the ship's name and number back to Linghai Tow 012. The police lights were removed and they were disguised as ordinary tugboats to haul coal in Xuzhou."

Han Yu asked in a low voice: "Disguised as a civilian tugboat armed escort?"

"Well, we can't scare those bastards away. We can't go without a harvest. If we don't catch a few water bandits and ship tyrants, we'll apologize to the beaten employees of the shipping company!"

Xu Sanye slammed the table and turned around and said: "Manager Jiang, I will personally lead the team to go with you this time. The barge will be towed by 001 for you. You can handle the gas money, no problem."

"No problem, we still need to burn oil when using our own tugboat."

"Then it's settled. The Fourth Criminal Investigation Squadron is assisting the customs in handling the case, and there are no investigators available. Old Ding, you can arrange the investigation and evidence collection.

As for the police escort, I will call the Water Bureau later and ask the Fish Bureau to arrange ten police officers. I want to see who dares to blackmail the fleet I am escorting! "
