On the western Pacific Ocean, it is two hundred kilometers away from Koro Island. netnet
The buoy with its anchor chain undulating with the waves, connected by ropes, drew a circle on the sea.
Eight engineering ships surround this five square kilometers of sea area, anchored here like offshore platforms, and carry out construction procedures day and night. Workers on the ship follow a shift system and take turns to go ashore for rest every Monday.
There is a guardian-class frigate on standby next to it, and its majestic electromagnetic naval gun stands at an elevation angle of 45°, guarding the surrounding sea areas.
Although the Philippines can no longer send more coast guard ships to harass New Zealand’s waters, necessary warning procedures are still indispensable. The USS Stennis aircraft carrier is staring at this place with eager eyes. Although they dare not send out any more drones, there is no guarantee that they will not use underwater reconnaissance equipment. The Guardian-class frigates are equipped with anti-submarine radars and "paper bag M anti-submarine torpedoes", which can act as a deterrent to underwater units trying to get closer.
At this time, a large ship carrying hundreds of containers came over and parked next to an engineering ship.
The man in a white shirt threw the towel over his shoulder, walked to the side of the machine, and pulled the lever hard. An iron bridge was built between the engineering ship and the ship. Several soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons and holding rifles boarded the ship.
The captain hurriedly greeted them and led these Star Ring Trade soldiers around the ship. After confirming that there was no problem, the foreman on the ship started shouting and calling the workers to work. Bayi.com
The goods are divided into two batches, one is taken to the ship, and the other is thrown into the sea using a robotic arm.
After finishing the work at hand, the man in the white shirt threw the wrench aside, picked up the towel on his shoulder and wiped the sweat on his face, and then watched with empty eyes as the mechanical arm clamped the heavy container and headed towards the sea. Unloading inside.
Zhou Qiang is called Qiangzi by all the workers he knows. He came to the ship two months ago and used online recruitment. Among these workers, his educational level is relatively high. Although I only went to high school.
In the coastal areas of China, many people know about Xinguo and the large company there called Xinghuan Trading. Not only that, they also knew that the boss was Chinese. We also know that this magical boss is also the majority shareholder of Futureman Group!
Because they are all Chinese, the boss takes good care of the Chinese. As long as they work in the company for a year and have no criminal record, even illiterate people like them can get immigration passports. Of course, because he is illiterate. After obtaining their immigration passports, they will be arranged to enter the community college on Anga Island, where they will receive literacy education for half a year.
Although it is literacy, it actually means learning mathematics and English. Compared with other developing countries, China's education penetration rate is already very high. Even illiterate people are literate. If they are illiterate, they will not be able to read recruitment information.
Education in the new country is a welfare, not an industry, which is exactly the opposite of their hometown. And these workers are also happy to learn. They say knowledge changes destiny, right
"Tell me. Aren't those tough guys hot in such thick clothes?" He Dong walked to the side, took out two cigarettes, handed one to Qiangzi, and lit the other himself.
The mechanical exoskeleton is mainly made of aluminum and polyethylene. Except for a few important parts protected by C-shaped steel, there is almost no iron. However, the black metallic luster of the polyethylene bulletproof board will always make uninitiated people mistake it for iron lumps.
Zhou Qiang smiled dullly and took the cigarette from He Dong's hand.
"I don't know, maybe they're not afraid of the heat."
He Dong laughed loudly, holding a cigarette in his mouth and looking at the two soldiers standing like wooden stakes at the door of the captain's cabin. He smacked his lips.
"It's summer all year round in New Zealand. I'm afraid there won't be much chance to see snow in the future."
"Aren't you going home for the New Year?" Zhou Qiang asked doubtfully.
He Dong glanced sideways at him and blew out several smoke rings from his nose.
"What home should I go to? Just move here."
"Move your home here?"
"Otherwise? We all came late, like my brother and the first batch of people who came here to work. They worked in the Phantom Helmet Factory! It is said that he only worked for half a year, and the bonus he received alone cost him a house. The money has been collected." He Dong glanced at Zhou Qiang, who was unaware.
Among all the workers, he had the broadest path in the new country. In the middle of 2016, his brother came to the new country with the first wave of immigrants, and after several twists and turns, he was assigned to the Phantom Helmet Factory. Produce that kind of virtual reality stuff. As the factory grew bigger, his brother also became a team leader, leading a team of ten people to polish helmet parts.
It is said that he is now ready to resign. After collecting enough money, he planned to rely on the contacts he accumulated in the factory to get a production order for the helmet shell. Many small businesses in New Zealand have made money from orders for plastic shells of Phantom helmets. With some spare money on hand, he planned to give it a try.
"A house... it must cost more than one million." Zhou Qiang said blankly.
Although his current basic salary is a thousand yuan, and the unit also includes food and accommodation, saving more than one million to buy a house... still seems to be a long way off.
As if he could see the encouragement in his friend's heart, He Dong laughed and patted his shoulder.
"Don't think it's too difficult to buy a house. There are no unscrupulous business developers in New Zealand, and the Future People Group doesn't like the money in real estate. More than one million? You want to live in a villa with a courtyard? I didn't say that, but it's attached For an apartment building under the Xinghuan Trademark, at most 200,000 yuan is enough."
"Dollar?"
"RMB! In US dollars, about thirty thousand US dollars? I'm not good at math."
After hearing his friend's words, Zhou Qiang's face suddenly lit up with joy. Including the subsidy for going abroad, he can get a salary of two thousand US dollars a month. If he saves US$30,000 for a year and a half, he can get it.
"However, one person can only purchase one set of welfare houses in Xinghuan Trading, and the area is only about 10 square meters. People still have to be a little pursuing. If you save a million, you can buy a sea-view villa to live in. It will be so happy ?" He Dong said with a smile.
This pursuit was something he only had recently. When he was originally working in Wanghai City, he worked exhaustingly for more than two years and never expected to buy a home in Wanghai City. Later, he heard his family talk about working overseas by chance, and he learned that New Zealand was short of workers. He followed his brother's path with the mentality of giving it a try.
Now, he didn't want to go back.
Here, he saw the hope of buying a house.
For most Chinese people, isn’t this life just for a house and a warm home
"What are you thinking about? Get your work done quickly. A big shot will come to check on you soon. If you are lazy, be careful and I will deduct your bonus."
The foreman operated the robotic arm and threw the container into the sea. The foreman, holding a cigarette butt in his mouth, shouted and glanced over.
Seeing that the foreman was dissatisfied, He Dong quickly put out his cigarette butts and dragged Qiangzi back to his post. The boxes have been moved, but it seems there is still other work to be done. As for the big shot the foreman was talking about, it was not something that little people like them cared about.
After unloading all the cargo, the rotation separated from the engineering ship and returned to Anga Island.
At the same time, a helicopter headed in the direction of the engineering ship. (.)
