Riverside police

Dim lights, melodious piano music, and a strange smell in the air.

There are more than a dozen rows of booths in the hall, but there are not many customers. It is empty and deserted...it turns out that this is a cafe.

Binjiang people don’t like drinking coffee very much, or they don’t have the habit of drinking coffee.

In fact, people in Binjiang not only don't like drinking coffee, they also don't drink tea. The total number of teahouses in Binjiang, including several districts and counties, may not be as many as in a town on the other side of the river.

After all, it is because of poverty. Everyone is busy making money to support their families. Who has the spare money and leisure time to drink tea and coffee?

This person will become poor when he is poor.

Soil will be looked down upon by others.

Therefore, no matter how much Binjiang people love and yearn for the East China Sea, they have been running to the East China Sea more than a hundred years ago, and no matter how much they have contributed to the development of the East China Sea, the people in Donghai still call Binjiang people the derogatory "Gang Baining" ( Jiangbei people).

In fact, not only the East China Sea, but also the people of Shuzhou, Okura and Zhangjia Hong Kong, which are only separated by a river, also call Binjiang people this way...

But what Li Guangming was thinking about at the moment was not whether the people on the other side of the river would look down on him, nor why the expensive coffee tasted so bad, but what he wanted to do was to hit someone!

Half an hour ago, the twenty-seven-year-old bespectacled guy sitting across from me came to the door.

He is oily, smooth-tempered, and you can tell at a glance that he is not a good bird. If you were not worried about disturbing the neighbors, you would not come to such a place with him.

What was even more unexpected was that as soon as he sat down, this little bastard started talking about Salted Fish. He meant to clean up Salted Fish, and even expressed sympathy for his own experience.

Who is he? Do I need his sympathy?

At first Li Guangming just wanted to leave and ignore him, but in the end he actually claimed that he wanted to report Xianyu, and it sounded like he had already put it into practice.

If the superiors really believed him and came to investigate Xianyu, the leaders in Linghai would definitely think that it was me, Li Guangming, who did it. Even if Linghai's leaders don't think so, if they let their superiors investigate, they will still pull out the carrots and bring out the mud.

It’s true that when people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven!

Li Guangming was so angry that he suppressed the urge to beat him up and said calmly: "Boss Qiu, this is the first time we have met. We have never dealt with each other before. Now it's a bit superficial to say this."

"Director Li, believe me, I don't mean any harm, I'm just helping you vent your anger.

Qiu Xiaohua was also not used to drinking coffee, so he pretended to take a sip, picked up the soft Chinese coffee again, and said with excitement: "There is a saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I believe we will become good friends."

You’ve watched too many movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the enemy of your enemy is your friend...

Li Guangming cursed secretly, stood up and said, "If you don't explain the matter clearly, then we'll stop here. Who knows what you do, nor what I did before!"

"Director Li, don't be anxious. If you have anything to say, please tell me."

"If you have anything to say, tell me quickly, I have something else to do."

"Director Li, since we have talked about this, I will not hide it from you. The man named Han and his little wife who is the director of the Hong Kong Supervision Bureau are not the same thing. They insist on causing trouble for us."

Li Guangming sat down and asked, "What do you do?"

Qiu Xiaohua just wanted to finish the matter as soon as possible and go back to ask for money from his second uncle. He said bluntly: "We are in the sand mining business. The man named Han and his wife seized our boat and fined us. We don't If we argue with him, we will give him whatever fine his mother-in-law says.

In addition to paying the fine, we also prepared some little things for him. But he was shameless and insisted on being on the line. They also threatened us, saying that they didn’t want to see us mining sand on the river again. They said they would arrest us every time we see them and punish them every time we catch them! "

It turned out that salted fish blocked their way to make money.

Li Guangming nodded and asked, "How did you find me?"

"Just asking, many people know about the right things he did with you."

"Then how did you find out that I live in Dingxiang Community?"

"I went to Sanxing for errands. When I came back, I called a taxi in Sanxing. The taxi driver told me this. He said that he once sent someone to the city and saw you in the community where you live now."

There are many illegal drivers in Sanxing, and almost all of them know me. I didn’t expect that I would be encountered by these illegal drivers.

It seems that we are moving, not just moving, but also moving away from Binjiang!

Li Guangming was silent for a moment and asked, "What are you doing in Sanxing?"

Qiu Xiaohua handed over a cigarette and said with an embarrassed smile: "As long as Han and his mother-in-law are in Sanhe, we can't do business safely. The only way to get them out is to report them."

"So you went to Sanhe to find me?"

"Director Li, you know him best, we can only ask for your help."

"You think I'd do you this favor?"

"Didn't I just say that the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Qiu Xiaohua looked back behind him and said with a smile: "Director Li, don't worry, as long as you are willing to work with us to get someone named Han, we will definitely not let you go to waste. help."

Li Guangming smiled and asked, "What do you mean?"

"After the matter is completed, I will give you 10,000 yuan and a little kindness."

"The man named Han is now the director of the Development Zone Bureau. Boss Qiu, do you think the director of the Public Security Bureau is only worth 10,000 yuan?"

"No matter how much more, I can't make the decision. I have to go back and ask my second uncle."

Li Guangming raised his hand and called to the waiter, asking for paper and pen, asking Qiu Xiaohua to write down his contact information. He then put away the contact information and stood up: "Boss Qiu, you go back and ask your second uncle first. I also have to go back and think about it."

Qiu Xiaohua asked subconsciously: "What are you considering?"

"Little brother, things about the Communist Party are not as simple as you think. You want to drive away people named Han with just a few reporting letters. Are you kidding me? You don't even think about it, as long as there are a few cadres who have never been reported! "

"How to do it?"

"This kind of thing needs long-term planning, and you have to make a decision before taking action. You don't understand even if I tell you, you should go back and ask your second uncle first."

Li Guangming patted him on the shoulder and left without looking back.

Qiu Xiaohua was stunned for a while before he regained consciousness. He chased to the door and wanted to ask for Li Guangming's contact information. Li Guangming's back had disappeared at the corner of the street.

…

Several foreign sand mining bosses on the river were pulling the newly mined river sand to the dock one after another. The small crane on the dock was still dripping when the small crane on the dock lifted the river sand from the cabin to the shore.

Qiu Zhiming still felt uneasy when he saw that the old accountant hired by Zhang Zhenglong was calculating dock fees and loading and unloading fees with the sand mining boss. Just as he was about to go up and ask the out-of-town sand mining boss where he got these shipments of sand, the phone in the office rang.

"Hey, who's there?"

"Manager Qiu, I promise you two!"

"I know, what's going on?"

"The man named Han is back, but he left again."

"make it clear!"

"He and several cadres from the Linghai Development Zone accompanied two overseas Chinese for a visit. First they went to the Lingda Steam Ferry, then to several shipyards on the riverside, and finally to the port to supervise the barges. On the barges I sat there for less than twenty minutes and then left in a car."

"How do you know you are an overseas Chinese?"

"Everyone on the riverside knows that they visited several units, and the two overseas Chinese seemed to have returned from Canada."

Accompanying overseas Chinese to visit and investigate is an attempt to introduce foreign investment.

Compared with attracting investment to develop the economy, sand mining on the river is really not a big deal!

The more Qiu Zhiming thought about it, the more sense it made. He couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Where is his mother-in-law?"

"Go away in the car with them."

Xu Er, who was in charge of monitoring in Sanhe, looked back behind him and added: "I almost forgot that the people accompanying the Canadian overseas Chinese on the inspection were not only the development zone cadres, but also the leaders of Binjiang Navigation School and Linghai Vocational High School."

Qiu Zhiming asked: "How did you know?"

"There are several employees at the ferry who graduated from the Binjiang Shipping School. One of the people who came here is Teacher Wu. He used to teach ferry drivers and also taught Mr. Han and his mother-in-law! They were chatting at the ferry just now. Ten minutes."

"I know, just keep watching and call me if there's any trouble."

"Nothing to keep track of, they're all gone."

"I'll keep an eye on you if I ask you to. It's not like I won't pay you wages."

…

Qiu Zhiming's information is correct. Han Yu and Han Xiangning are indeed busy attracting investment.

However, today they are not only accompanied by the overseas Chinese Zhang Asheng and Shen Rulan, but also the leading teachers of their alma mater, Mr. Chen from Linghai Foreign Economic and Technical Cooperation Company, and Principal Hu from Linghai Vocational High School.

Although city leaders attach great importance to attracting investment, they pay even more attention to the introduction of foreign investment.

However, it is impossible for the city leaders to negotiate in person. They will only accompany us for a meal, help solve any difficulties encountered, and attend the signing ceremony to witness the negotiation. The specific work still has to be done by the people below.

According to the latest regulations of the Management Committee, whoever contacts the merchant will be responsible for it. When the funds introduced are in place and the project is implemented, the investment commission will be paid to whomever!

It is worth mentioning that Han Yu is now not only a member of the Development Zone Working Committee and the director of the Development Zone Public Security Bureau, but also the deputy director of the Development Zone Investment Promotion Bureau.

If ranked in order of time of concurrent service, he is the thirty-seventh deputy director of the Development Zone Investment Promotion Bureau.

It doesn't matter whether you can get a commission or not. What's important is to help the management committee complete the task of attracting investment. Otherwise, not to mention the commission, I'm afraid even this year's bonus will be in vain.

Han Yu is not good at talking about cooperation and business, but there are people who are.

Tang Wentao, deputy director of the management committee and director of investment promotion, talked eloquently, without a word of nonsense, and everything he said was on point.

The leading teachers at his alma mater and Principal Hu from Linghai Vocational High School nodded. Even Zhang Asheng and his wife, who had seen the world, thought it made sense.

"With the joining of the Maritime College, there is no problem with the teaching staff for seafarer training. With the joining of Linghai Vocational School, there is no need to worry about the recruitment of students and the management during the training period. It is even possible to carry out academic education at the same time as vocational training through joint school running. , to train senior crew members.”

Tang Wentao invited everyone to drink tea while continuing: "Seafarer dispatch is also a kind of labor export. It is relatively simple to dispatch seafarers to domestic trade ships, but dispatching seafarers to foreign trade ships, especially foreign ships, requires relevant qualifications. It is more troublesome to obtain those qualifications. It even needs to be reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.

Even though there are many overseas labor agencies in Linghai, only one company, the Foreign Economic and Technical Cooperation Company, has complete procedures. City leaders attach great importance to seafarer training and seafarer dispatching, and Mr. Chen is also very interested in seafarer dispatching business. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Shen, if you are interested in this, then we will join forces. "

When Zhang Asheng and his wife came to Linghai yesterday afternoon, Director Miao of the Development Zone Management Committee and Deputy Director Tang in front of them took the lead.

During dinner in the evening, Mayor Qian of Linghai made a special trip to the box to toast.

In the morning, we visited Linghai City. After the tour, we came to Sanhe for dinner. Vice Mayor Shen, who is in charge of the Development Zone, personally accompanied us. It is said that Secretary Ye from Linghai will attend in person when we return to the city for dinner tonight.

I can really feel the enthusiasm of the Linghai Municipal Party Committee and Government, and I can also feel the sincerity of Linghai in attracting investment.

Zhang Asheng looked back at his wife, then turned to look at Han Yu and Han Xiangning, and said with a smile: "Director Tang, leaders, frankly speaking, we are very interested in seafarer training, especially seafarer dispatch business, otherwise we would not come from Canada. Visit to Linghai.

With the Maritime College, Linghai Vocational High School and Linghai Foreign Economic and Technical Cooperation Company joining the company, I believe that the training and expatriate business will definitely be developed and will become smoother and more prosperous. "

Zhang Asheng talks without any hesitation and without any stage fright. Who dares to believe that he has been in prison?

Han Yuzheng secretly lamented that he was treated with admiration after three days of separation. Zhang Asheng changed the subject: "However, we feel that there is great uncertainty in only carrying out seafarer training and overseas assignment business, especially in the overseas assignment business. It can be said that we have no initiative."

"Mr. Zhang, you mean..."

"Students are recruited one after another, and they will graduate one after another. It is not difficult to arrange for students to get on the ship for internship, but how will it be arranged after the internship period expires? Who can guarantee that so many students can get on the ship?"

Zhang Asheng lit a cigarette and said with emotion: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. We have experienced a lot of ups and downs and lived the most miserable and difficult days. We know how difficult it is when a person is unlucky, so we don't think we can train to earn some money." It’s a waste of time and money.”

Han Yu was convinced and couldn't help but nodded.

Principal Hu of Linghai Vocational High School was a little embarrassed. He held his chin and pretended to read the feasibility study report Tang Wentao had prepared.

Vice President He of the School of Shipping was deeply touched and raised his head and said: "Training can be done, but we can't make blind promises when promoting it, and the scale of training can't be too big. We must work hard on how to solve the problem of employment for students. In short, it's either not If you do it, you must be responsible for the students!"

"Dean He is right, but we think this alone is not enough."

Zhang Asheng took out a document from his bag and said with a smile: "I suggest broadening the business scope and establishing a real shipping management company. This is a plan drafted by my wife and I. Please take a look at it."

Tang Wentao took it and took a look, and was stunned.

Han Yu took the materials from Shen Rulan's hand and looked at them carefully. He was also shocked by the generosity of the couple.

They not only want to open training courses for crew expatriation, but also want to develop international and domestic ship management, freight forwarding, shipping technical consulting, labor services, ship equipment maintenance, ship parts and material supply, etc. In other words, they want to set up a real company ship management company,

For example, some bosses want to get involved in the shipping industry. They have money to buy a ship but do not know how to operate and manage it. They can entrust a ship management company to manage it.

There are many such ship management companies abroad. They have just begun to develop in China. There seem to be several in Donghai and Dongguang. They are all started by the management of large shipping companies.

Han Yu raised his head and said: "Mr. Zhang, opening a ship management company requires professional ship management talents, especially experienced shipping and maintenance personnel!"

"Han Bureau, the shipping bureau you served has many experienced captains and veterans."

"The question is, are there any ship owners willing to hand over their ships to ship management companies?"

Shen Rulan, who had always smiled and said nothing, said: "To be honest, we have been to thirteen countries in the past two months and visited many shipowners. Before coming to Linghai, we also visited Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Jianfu. and other areas, I turned around and found that there are many bosses on the southeastern coast of China who want to engage in shipping, and there is a need to hire ship management companies to manage them on their behalf."

Zhang Asheng smiled and added: "They have plenty of money. It is not difficult for them to buy a ship. It is also easy to register and so on. Flying a flag of convenience can even save a lot of tonnage tax. It's just that the lines are like mountains. Buying a ship is easy but I don't know how. manage."

Maritime transportation, especially ocean transportation, is different from other things. You must hire professional people, otherwise the ship may be destroyed and people may be killed.

Han Yu suddenly remembered that the two of them ran across the ship together and were the first batch of overseas crew members.

One of them worked in a shipping agency. Her English was so good that she could even understand Indians. She had translated for countless foreign shipowners.
