Living like a salted fish in the end times

Chapter 139 Sydney Harbor

Half a month later, the new police station began to break ground.

Zhang Hao directly outsourced the project to an old acquaintance, that is, Mr. Wu of Huicheng Construction Engineering.

Today is the day of laying the foundation stone.

Many people came to the scene.

After the groundbreaking ceremony, the construction team began to dig deep into the foundation. According to the design plan, the entire new police station has a total of two floors underground and seven floors above ground.

Everyone walked around the construction site, Director Sun couldn't help but asked curiously: "Mr. Wu, it's freezing cold now, won't it affect the construction?"

"Of course it affects. Generally speaking, when the temperature is low in winter, outdoor wet work will freeze, which will lead to poor construction efficiency and even fail to guarantee construction safety.

We are simply digging the foundation now. As for the next step of construction, we have to wait until the temperature rises above zero, unless you are willing to spend money. "

Mr. Wu explained with a smile.

He's been in a good mood lately.

Since last year, their company has received several big orders from the city one after another. If it wasn't for Zhang Hao's face this time, they wouldn't be interested in small projects like office buildings at all.

"It doesn't matter if it takes a long time. If you can't make it in time, you can borrow the village office first."

Director Sun quickly waved his hand.

Zhang Hao was interested: "If someone is willing to spend money, what are you going to do?"

"It's very simple. We can use a steel structure to completely seal the entire construction site, and then turn on the heating, so that we don't have to worry about low temperatures."

"Hey, from what you said, it seems a bit like that kind of closed dock?"

Zhang Hao immediately thought of a picture.

He had just visited the Huangpu Shipyard before and was particularly impressed by it.

"It is indeed a bit similar, the principle of the two is similar."

President Wu nodded.

Director Sun followed up and asked: "With the current climate and environment, can the temperature return to above zero?"

"Absolutely." Zhang Hao hurriedly replied, "Huicheng's dimension is low, if even our side can't return to zero, then other places will be even more difficult to say, at least half of the population will be lost, and at worst, there will be a catastrophe." .”

"Zhang Dong's words are justified."

Mr. Wu followed suit.

"How many months will it be?"

Director Sun continued to ask.

Zhang Hao seemed confident: "In June at the latest, the temperature will definitely rise above zero."

"If it's June, counting the three-month construction period, the project should be successfully completed in September, just before winter begins."

Mr. Wu thought about it, and immediately added.

"September? Earlier than I expected, I thought it would be until the end of the year!"

Director Sun couldn't help showing a smile.

Mr. Wu shook his head: "Actually, it's good luck. Fortunately, there are a lot of building materials left by Mr. Zhang. Otherwise, it would take several months to purchase building materials, and we may not be able to buy them all."

After chatting for a while, Director Sun left quickly because of his busy schedule.

President Wu took the opportunity to pull Zhang Hao aside, as if he hesitated to speak.

Zhang Hao said frankly and honestly: "Old Wu, it's not the first day we've met, so you might as well speak up if you have something to say."

"Oh, it's really embarrassing."

"Tell me? What's the matter?"

Mr. Wu showed a look of embarrassment: "Old Zhang, I heard that you newly established a deep-sea fishing company? And you just went to sea a while ago?"

"That's right." Zhang Hao nodded.

"If there is a harvest, can you sell a batch of fish to our company?"

It is not that seafood is not available in the current market.

It's just that the quantity is limited, and the price is expensive, which is not suitable for large-scale procurement at all.

"How much do you want?"

Zhang Hao did not refuse.

"It's enough to keep one hundred thousand catties. You also know that our company doesn't have many employees. Even though we have expanded our recruitment recently, the total number of people has not exceeded 1000."

"Okay, catties is tons, which is not too much." Zhang Hao nodded, "But you probably have to wait for a while, if it is fast, it will be June or July, if it is slow, it may have to wait until next year."

"Time is not an issue, we are willing to wait."

Mr. Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, it would be better if it was a little later. Through what he had seen and heard during this period of time, he figured it out.

These days, the further you go, the more difficult it is!
The Federation is now relying on its laurels, and it won't last long.

……

The conversation was divided into two parts. After twelve days of sailing, the deep-sea fishing fleet of Southeast Fishery finally arrived at Sydney Harbor on schedule.

Sydney Harbor at this moment is very busy.

In the end, only the flagship Canghai docked smoothly. As for the other ships, they could only temporarily park in the offshore waters, and then use small transfer ships for replenishment.

The most important of these are fuel and fresh water.

Others, Sydney Port can not provide.

Old Angel was the only foreigner among the senior management of the fleet, and he was very familiar with Sydney Port, so he volunteered to lead the team to negotiate with the port.

Others will naturally not object.

In less than half an hour, old Angor took advantage of his relationship and soon met his old friend, who was also a person in charge of the port.

After all, the shipping industry is not big enough.

"Philip, long time no see!"

"Angel? It's you? I thought you retired?"

Philip hugged him tightly.

Then the group was ushered into the office.

Old Angel shook his head with a wry smile: "I really want to retire, but it's a pity that a penny can't beat a hero, so I can only persist for two more years."

"What's going on? Where have you moved?"

"Our whole family went to Huicheng in East District , which is next door to the new capital, less than a few tens of kilometers away. To be honest, the conditions in Huicheng are good in all aspects, but the house price is too expensive. Our family is still renting a house stay!"

Old Angel replied truthfully.

"It's not your fault. The housing prices in East Asia have always been like this."

"Let's not talk about that, old man, what about you?"

"Me? I'm still the same."

"I heard that the refugee problem is quite serious recently. We have come across dozens of refugee fleets along the way. Is your side not affected?"

Old Angel took the opportunity to ask concerned.

"Sydney is fine for the time being. Those refugees are mainly concentrated on the west coast and north coast." Philip waved his hand after finishing speaking. "Let's not talk about this. Where are you working now? Is it still the original company?"

"No, the original boss has already sold the company and moved to Europa. I am currently working in Southeast Fishery, an ocean-going fishing company. The benefits are pretty good, and the salary is three times what it was before."

"Hey, that's really good."

Philip couldn't help but envy.

Old Angel smiled, and then suggested:
"Philip, as an old friend, please forgive me. Australia is not a place to stay for a long time. I still suggest you immigrate out as soon as possible. Zhucheng and Huicheng are good choices."

"My old friend, thank you for your suggestion, I will seriously consider it."

Philip nodded solemnly.

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
