What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 41 Visit
Da Wan is really remote.

This was Huang Dongfu’s first impression.

As agreed, he called Gaijin Shipyard when he arrived in Dayuan Town, and someone would come to pick him up.

It’s not that I’m afraid that Huang Dongfu won’t be able to find the way, but I’m mainly worried that something might happen on the way.

Huang Dongfu and his brother also drove a small car, an imported Italian Fiat Uno, a very fashionable hatchback these days, and also looked very unfamiliar to them.

In this case, bandits and robbers target outsiders... you know.

As long as the time is right, the simple villagers will also transform into heroes of Liangshan.

The main road to town is fine, but you'd better be careful when heading to the countryside.

Huang Dongfu was a big boss after all, so he had a cell phone, but there was no signal as soon as he arrived in the town.

Fortunately, he found a small shop and came in to borrow a phone.

Huang Panpan quickly hung up the phone with her bestie upon seeing this, and then said:
"The first three minutes are fifty cents, and every minute after that is twenty cents."

Huang Dongfu picked up the receiver and heard Tang Wen's voice after dialing for a few seconds.

"It's me, Boss Tang. I'm already at the store in Dawan Town. Where are you?"

"Already on the way? Okay, I'll wait here for a few minutes."

The call lasted less than a minute. Huang Dongfu quickly put the receiver back and said with a smile:

"I only played for one minute, two cents is okay."

Guo Panpan didn't say anything, but just stretched out her hand, which was considered as her consent.

However, Huang Dongfu took out five yuan and pointed to the shelf behind him and said:

"Get two more bottles of Jianlibao."

At this moment, the sound of a car door closing came from behind him, and a middle-aged man with a flat head and a tan got out of the car.

He is Huang Dongshun, Huang Dongfu's younger brother. He used to be a sailor and later worked in a state-owned fishery company for seven or eight years.

With experience as a sailor and in a fishing company, Huang Dongshun helped Fudong Fisheries establish a good management system, especially focusing on the maintenance of vessels.

This time he followed his brother to inspect the Gaijin Shipyard just to see what the quality was like.

After all, it is a newly established shipyard, and it is still doubtful whether it can build thousand-ton ships.

He walked up to his brother, picked up the Jianlibao that was already on the counter, drank half a can in one breath, and then curled his lips and said:
"A shipbuilding heavy industry enterprise built in a place where there's not even a concrete road can't possibly have any real capabilities."

Huang Dongfu frowned when he thought of how dizzy he was during the whole journey, but since he was already here, he couldn't make a wasted trip.

"Let's wait and see. Why don't I ask... little girl, do you know the Gaijin Shipyard?"

Guo Panpan looked strange, but still nodded.

Huang Dongfu quickly asked:
"How is this factory? Is it famous?"

"Well... I guess so. I even sold diesel engines."

"diesel engine?"

The Huang brothers became interested and after asking in detail, they found out that the shipyard could actually sell diesel engines.

There are many shipyards that engage in side businesses these days, and it is not uncommon to build home appliances and tractors. However, shipyards with this capability should have strong business capabilities.

He felt relieved instantly, but then he heard Guo Panpan ask:
"Are you here to buy a boat?"

"Yes, our Fudong Fishery is the largest private fishing company in Echeng, and we are planning to order a large ocean-going fishing vessel."

Guo Panpan said "Oh" and couldn't help but look at the landline. It turned out that the shipyard had already called.

The sound of a car was heard in the distance, and soon an open-top military green jeep drove into the town as if it was familiar with the road, then braked and stopped in front of Huang Dongfu's Fiat car.

The Willys Jeep had no doors. The driver of the Port Hotel jumped out and asked directly:
"Is this Mr. Huang from Fudong Fishery Company? I'll take you there."

Huang Dongfu nodded dreamily, but Huang Dongshun already had an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

He walked forward in disbelief, looking at the jeep and questioning his life.

A Willys Jeep, he recognized it. He had even seen two at the naval base on Qiongzhou Island. They were both captured during the founding of the People's Republic of China and had long since become scrap metal.

What is the origin of Gaijin Shipyard that they can drive such a car?

As soon as he saw the exterior and the simple cockpit, he knew it was definitely an authentic World War II vehicle. It must be so rare that it can still be driven now!
"Where did you get this car?"

The driver seemed to have not expected him to ask this question. He thought for a moment and said:

"Imported cars, I don't know the details."

Huang Dongshun became more and more curious, and simply said to his elder brother:

"Brother, you drive, I'll just sit in this thing."

"what?"

……

"Welcome, Mr. Huang!"

Tang Wen was about to go forward and shake hands when he saw the middle-aged man who had jumped out of the passenger seat of the jeep rubbing his waist and waving his hands:
"I'm not. My brother is driving in the back."

Huang Dongshun, whose butt was sore from the bumpy ride, confirmed that this was a military vehicle, otherwise the suspension would not be so stiff.

In other words, Tang Wen was able to endure it because of his youth, but a middle-aged man with rheumatism and bone pain could not bear it at all.

After a small misunderstanding, Huang Dongfu shook hands with Tang Wen. Seeing the latter's youthful appearance, he couldn't help but admire him:

"Boss Tang sounds young on the phone, and even younger in person. He's truly a young man with great potential."

"Ah...it's all because of the good foundation my dad laid."

"Then your noble father..."

"He passed away, so I took over."

"My condolences, my admiration..."

As Tang Wen talked nonsense, Huang Dongfu imagined a story about the second generation of entrepreneurs being entrusted with a task in a crisis, and he couldn't help but look at Tang Wen with a higher opinion.

Tang Wen was also looking at each other. The Huang brothers all had dark skin, with well-defined muscles on their arms and were relatively thin. It was obvious that they had been out to sea all year round. Their faces were covered with traces of sea breeze and their skin was very rough.

After a brief greeting, Tang Wen invited the other party to the reception room and prepared to pour tea... and coffee.

Kung Fu tea, popular in the coastal Chaoshan region, involves using a large number of tea sets of various sizes to pour tea back and forth in a frantic manner, but Tang Wen doesn't know how to do that at all.

Moreover, the shipyard did not prepare special tea sets, so they simply made coffee to avoid being considered negligent.

For this reception, he specially bought a coffee machine from the Grand Bay Hotel, and the coffee ground from it was quite good.

They were both a little surprised to see the coffee, but Huang Dongshun took a sip from the cup, then exclaimed with enjoyment:

"They are definitely top-notch coffee beans. Boss Tang's coffee is the best I've ever tasted."

Tang Wen asked in surprise:
"Do you drink coffee often?"

Huang Dongshun smiled slightly. "When I was serving, we had this drink on board. It was such a treat to have a drink on night duty. I haven't had anything this good since I retired."

A retired sailor?
No wonder, even in this era, the treatment on warships was quite good, and coffee was nothing.

Huang Dongfu, who was standing by, also imitated his brother's movements and tasted it, but he immediately put on a mask of pain and said with difficulty:

"Boss Tang, can you add some sugar?"

"Yes, of course!"

Tang Wen quickly called the waiter in and asked him to make another latte with milk and sugar.

After a brief conversation over coffee, the atmosphere between the group instantly became much closer, and Huang Dongshun immediately got to the point:

"Have you got a draft for a thousand-ton fishing vessel? To be honest, this is the first time I've seen a steam-powered fishing vessel."

Huang Dongfu nodded quickly, and saw Tang Yi stand up, take out the sketch he had prepared long ago and explain the design parameters.
