In particular, Xiang Yang directly proposed the position of first mate.
If Xia Pengjie took those twenty or so people away, Xiang Yang would be in a very passive position.
But Xiang Yang didn't think so.
Xiang Yang, on the contrary, felt that if the first mate of that ship was not capable, he might really be sidelined by an ambitious captain.
Only when the first mate is strong enough can he, as the boss, better control the captain.
Xia Pengjie thought carefully for a while before he said, "Captain, you said there is a third option. What is the third option?"
Xiang Yang shook his head. "The third option is that if you really feel that you can't do this job well, I will directly reward you with a sum of money as a reward for your performance this time."
Xia Pengjie was stunned, and then he immediately said: "Captain, I choose the first one."
Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows, "Don't you want to consider it again?"
Xia Pengjie nodded and said, "Captain, don't think about it anymore. With my current ability, I don't think I have the ability to be the first mate directly. I want to be the second mate or the boatswain first to train myself well."
Xiang Yang grinned. Xia Pengjie was indeed a very smart guy.
Working as a first mate on that new ship now would be an opportunity to rise to fame overnight.
But there will be fewer opportunities for promotion in the future. If he stays with his boss now and works as a second mate or boatswain, when the fleet is expanded again in the future, he may be able to become a captain, let alone a first mate.
"Okay, then you will stay on my ship as the second mate and assist the first mate in his work." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
In the next few days, Xiang Yang regrouped the people on the two ships.
On the ocean-going carrier, the captain is still Xiang Yang, the chief engineer is still Xu Fang, but the first mate has become Zhou Wang.
Originally, Xiang Yang wanted to leave the position of first mate to Fang Youqun.
No matter what, Fang Youqun is actually the person Xiang Yang trusts the most. This guy grew up with Xiang Yang and doesn't have too many ulterior motives. Moreover, both parties know each other well.
But Fang Youqun's abilities are not really suitable for being a first mate.
Xiang Yang gave the position of chief engineer to a young man named Chen Guan, who also graduated from a Maritime University. He had good skills and was quite smart.
After the four persons in charge who needed to be registered were determined, the remaining positions were much easier to arrange, and Second Officer Xiang Yang gave it to Xia Pengjie as promised.
As for the new ship, the captain is naturally Chen Qingsheng.
In fact, to be honest, Chen Qingsheng doesn't have the ability to act on his own, but who can blame Xiang Yang for having no one to captain the ship
I had to pick the tallest one among the short ones.
First mate Xiang Yang brought his cousin over, firstly to have him control Chen Qingsheng, and secondly to have him learn something from Chen Qingsheng.
Chief Engineer Xiang Yang gave it to an alumnus who graduated from the Maritime University.
As for the chief engineer, Xiang Yang really couldn't find him.
Although the first engineer usually has nothing to do on the ship, at critical moments, this person is actually very important and is directly responsible for the entire ship.
The chief engineer needs to be very familiar with the ship and be well versed in aspects such as sailing and maintenance.
Xiang Yang thought, since he was only wandering around near the coast and not going out to the open sea, and no one was checking on him anyway, he might as well leave this position empty and think of a solution later.
Of course, this is not a long-term solution. If someone were to find out that a super-large fishing vessel did not have a chief engineer, the ship might even be towed away.
If we really can't find a candidate, we can only find a way to hire one from outside.
After assigning the personnel to the two ships, Chen Qingsheng was a little excited. He could not have imagined that one day he would actually be the captain of a ship, and it was an extra-large drift net fishing boat.
As soon as the boat came back, he couldn't wait to find Xiang Yang, "Boss, when are we going out to sea?"
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "The fleet will not go out to sea for the time being. I will notify you when it is time to go out to sea. However, you are the captain now. If you want to go out to sea, you can decide for yourself. Just don't go too far and delay the work of the fleet."
The captain of the fleet has a great deal of self-control.
When the fleet has no mission, they can go out to sea at any time.
Of course, it is not possible to drive the boat out for a stroll whenever you want. After all, fishing boats are fuel guzzlers, and Xiang Yang will frequently check the performance of the fishing boats.
If the efficiency is negative, Xiang Yang will change the captain without hesitation.
Of course, if the benefits are good, there will be rewards.
Every time the fleet works together, the captain of the fishing boat can receive a dividend of 5% of the net profit of the ship he manages.
If the fishing boat acts alone, Xiang Yang even promised that the captain can freely distribute 30% of the net profit of each operation.
Chen Qingsheng blinked his eyes, but finally shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll wait for your order before going out to sea. I don't have any money now. If I go out to sea on my own initiative and end up losing money, I can't afford to pay for it."
The net profit of a fishing vessel does not simply mean the fish income minus the fuel costs.
There are also horrific employee salaries and daily expenses.
"Haha, first take the new crew members to familiarize themselves with their future working environment, and you also get familiar with the new fishing boat. You will be the captain in the future, and you will have to make many decisions on your own. If a safety accident occurs, you will be the first person responsible. You can't be impatient about work, you must be steady." Xiang Yang said.
The captain of each ship must be directly recorded in the file. He is the first person responsible for any accident on the fishing boat, even if he does not have a certain share in the fishing boat.
Of course, Xiang Yang also didn't want anything to happen to the fishing boats in his fleet.
Although Chen Qingsheng was responsible for the accident, Xiang Yang would definitely have to pay the money, so Xiang Yang now paid special attention to safety.
"Don't worry, boss. I now require the crew on the tugboat to follow the requirements of the ocean-going fishing vessels. I am also studying hard at the moment. I dare not say that I will be able to make a profit in fishing, but safety is definitely guaranteed." Chen Qingsheng said quickly.
"Come on, I'll treat you to a simple meal. You don't have to worry about fishing. We are still in the running-in period, mainly to find out the shortcomings of the fleet. To really make money, we have to wait until we go to the open sea or the high seas." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"By the way, you said you poached a chief engineer from your previous employer. Is he reliable?" Xiang Yang asked.
"Boss, don't worry. He is absolutely reliable. He was my master before. He was the one who brought me to the ship. Before he became a crew member, he was in the technical department of the navy. He can even drive a warship, let alone a fishing boat." Chen Qingsheng said hurriedly. (To be continued)
