Chapter 588: "Extortion"

On October 30, a northwest wind blew at sea. Google search reading

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Xu Dong was still sleeping soundly. The passenger ship only officially set sail at three o'clock yesterday afternoon. The whole journey took about two days.

In other words, it will not arrive until tomorrow afternoon.

"Dong dong dong... Director, it's time for lunch."

Gu Haiyuan knocked on the door.

Xu Dong rubbed his eyes, grabbed his cell phone on the bedside and looked at it, only to realize that it was already noon.

"You go ahead, I'll be right away."

Life on the ship is very boring. Last night, a group of people played cards until about three o'clock in the morning. As a result, they slept until noon and missed breakfast.

After washing up, Xu Dong went directly to the restaurant.

The passenger ship they were on was converted from a large cargo ship, with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons. The passengers on board were basically electrical system personnel.

In addition, the ship's warehouse is also loaded with hundreds of power generation vehicles, various mechanical and electrical equipment, parts, engineering vehicles, and related living supplies.

Including a large amount of materials purchased by Xu Dong before.

"Director Xu, this way."

"Where are we now?"

Xu Dong found a seat and sat down.

Chief Xi immediately reported: "I just asked the captain that the passenger ship is passing through the Tamna Strait and will enter the Nisang Sea in the afternoon."

"It's pretty fast!"

Xu Dong smiled and nodded.

"It won't work if we don't hurry up." Ren Li interjected, "I just heard from the crew that the superior leaders have urged it several times. Now the passenger ship is advancing at full speed. Maybe it will arrive tomorrow morning."

Xu Dong frowned and asked softly: "Is there any other news?"

"Yes, I was just about to report to you!"

Section Chief Xi rushed to say.

"Good news, or bad news?"

"It should be considered bad news!" Section Chief Xi paused, then said helplessly, "The ship we are traveling on has been requisitioned."

"What do you mean? Isn't this ship chartered by the head office?"

Xu Dong was shocked, he didn't want to go ashore.

If rescue is not urgent, he will not be able to escape even if he wants to.

"There are too many Nisang refugees, and there are simply not enough ships. The head office has no choice but to obey orders from superiors."

"Which port will the passenger ship be docking at?"

Xu Dong asked quickly.

"Go to Kamisu Port, the only place near Edo where ships of the 100,000-ton class can dock."

Because of rising sea levels, the entire Edo Bay has become land, and almost all of its good ports have been lost.

As for the new port, there was no time to build it.

After all, sea levels are falling every moment.

No one knows when the end will be.

"How far is Kamisu Port from Toyo Nuclear Power Plant?"

"About sixty kilometers."

Xu Dong breathed a sigh of relief. Although sixty kilometers is not far, it is not very close either. Even if there is an accident, it should not be affected so quickly.

"How did the head office arrange for us?"

At this point, Xu Dong has no good solution, he can only take one step at a time.

"The head office means that we should set up the logistics base directly at Kamisu Port, and there happens to be a thermal power station next to the port.

According to the latest order from the headquarters, we have two main tasks. One is to support the Toyo Nuclear Power Plant, and the other is to restore power to the power plant as soon as possible. "

An engineer in the team answered helpfully.

Xu Dong nodded, it would be fine to stay at the port.

Since Kamisu Port is the only large port around Edo, there will definitely be ships coming and going. Once it reaches that point, it will be convenient to escape.

While chatting, lunch began.

Everyone started lining up to get food. For the Capital Support Team, because Captain Xu was so awesome, the logistics support was extremely sufficient. In addition to the normal meals provided by the cafeteria, the team members also had extra meals.

A total of more than 40 tons of canned meat have been purchased before. If divided by head, each person can get about a hundred cans, enough to last for three months.

So from the beginning, Xu Dong never thought about saving. For the first meal after boarding the ship, he ordered Chief Xi to move a hundred boxes of canned meat from the warehouse.

Each person was given two cans.

One a day, just enough to last until we get off the boat.

This move quickly won him hearts.

After the meal, Xu Dong returned to the room worriedly. Before he could lie down again, Captain Wang from the Liaozhou Support Team and Captain Liang from the Yizhou Support Team took the initiative to come to the door.

"Please come in, please come in..."

"Captain Xu, I'm sorry to bother you."

Xu Dong waved his hand: "Don't bother me, I have nothing to do anyway. What would you like to drink? Green tea or coffee?"

"Just plain water will do."

Captain Liang quickly excused himself.

Whether green tea or coffee, they are considered luxuries in Daxia. He is just a small section chief and cannot afford them at ordinary times.

"Then let's take green tea, the new tea just picked this year."

Xu Dong smiled and unscrewed the tea can.

After a while, there were three more cups of steaming tea on the table.

"Captain Xu, it cost you money."

Captain Wang said politely.

Xu Dong made an inviting gesture: "You two are welcome, how do you like it if you try it?"

The two took a sip of tea and quickly said yes.

"Captain Xu, I have long heard that there is a powerful person in our power system with great magical powers. Now I am finally lucky enough to meet you in person."

"You're kidding, who am I?"

Xu Dong said modestly.

Captain Liang boasted: "Why not? The canned meat you sent us yesterday is a good thing. No one can bear to eat it."

When distributing canned food yesterday, Xu Dong also sent two boxes to each of the two support teams on the same ship to show his appreciation.

After all, they are brothers, and it is not good to eat alone.

Don't complain about the small amount!

Compared with the capital support team, the other two teams have less than 100 people in total, which is definitely enough for a meal.

"Why keep it? I'll have someone send some more later."

Xu Dong said politely.

He probably guessed the purpose of the two people.

"How can I be so embarrassed? I can't do it!"

Captain Liang waved his hand quickly.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a few boxes of canned food, we can still afford it."

Since they came to the door, Xu Dong couldn't just say nothing, just treat it as a loss to avoid disaster.

Anyway, there is only one day left in the voyage, how much can we eat?

Captain Wang saw that the time was ripe and immediately tried to test him:

"Captain Xu, as the saying goes, it is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. You have a wide network of contacts here. Can you help us buy a batch of canned food? The price is negotiable."

"Sorry, I also asked someone to purchase it. The other party has no stock. I am afraid I can't help..."

"Captain Xu, please help us. We don't want much. One hundred boxes per family is enough."

Captain Wang pleaded.

"Captain Xu, please help us. You have canned meat every day, which puts a lot of pressure on me and Captain Wang. If this goes on, the people below will rebel."

Captain Liang followed and echoed.

Xu Dong was unmoved: "If it were before departure, I could still think of a way. Now we are about to arrive in Nisang. Where do you want me to get canned food for you?"

"Do you have more inventory here?"

"Okay, I can get you a hundred boxes at most. You can go back and divide it up. I really don't have more."

Xu Dong said simply.

The two of them were quite sensible and knew to stop when they saw the good results.

"Captain Xu, thank you so much, what's the price?"

"How about 2,000 per box?"

The power system is not short of money, Xu Dong deliberately raised the price by nearly double.

"No problem."

Captain Liang immediately agreed.

The two took out their mobile phones, and it was obvious that they had planned it in advance.

"Don't transfer money to me." Xu Dong waved his hand, "Just transfer it to our company account, I'll let Lao Xi hand it over to you later."

This batch of canned food was purchased in the name of the company.

It has nothing to do with him, and he is about to resign, so he doesn't want to get into trouble.
