A day later, the fleet arrived at a completely new sea area.
The water in this sea area is very clear, as if there is no pollution at all.
Even people standing on the boat can clearly see the beautiful corals on the seabed.
"The water in this area is so shallow." Fang Youqun was somewhat surprised as he lay on the side of the boat, turned around and shouted to Xiang Yang: "Brother Yang, should we go underwater to take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yang walked towards the bow of the ship.
Walking to the side of the ship, Xiang Yang lowered his head and took a look at the bottom of the sea.
"Hey, this is actually a coral sea." Xiang Yang said in surprise.
"Yes, it's rare to encounter a coral sea, and the water is so shallow. Why don't we go down and take a look?" Fang Youqun requested.
Xiang Yang thought about it, and then said: "But the number of diving equipment in our fleet is far from enough, and Boss Wu may have objections."
There were also dozens of people on Wu Shiwen's boat.
At the end of the day, the wages to pay to the crew alone amount to tens of thousands of yuan.
If Xiang Yang stopped at this time and said he wanted to go to the sea, it would be fine if the resources on the seabed were abundant, but if the quantity was average, Wu Shiwen would inevitably have some opinions.
Fang Youqun was not willing to give up so easily. He quickly said to Xiang Yang, "Brother Yang, we have been sailing on the sea for two days. It is rare to encounter such a coral sea. Let's go down and take a look. If there is no fish under this sea area, we will definitely come up within half an hour. It won't take up much time. Let's just treat it as a pastime. But if there are fishery resources here, we will make a fortune."
Xiang Yang frowned, "Okay, I'll discuss it with Chen Qingsheng and Boss Wu."
Xiang Yang said it was a discussion, but in fact it was just a notification.
In this fleet, generally no one would dare to directly oppose the opinions put forward by Xiang Yang.
In fact, the reason why Xiang Yang decided to go down to the bottom of this sea to take a look was that Xiang Yang himself wanted to find something to do.
Xiang Yang was getting bored after continuing on the sea route and not catching anything exciting. He thought it would be a good idea to go down and relax.
Soon, Xiang Yang finished communicating with Wu Shiwen and Chen Qingsheng and prepared to go for a walk under the sea.
A crew member who had just arrived quietly grabbed Xia Pengjie's arm. His face looked a little unhappy. "Xia Pengjie, why didn't you tell us before we came that we would have to do underwater work here?"
Several people next to that person also looked at Xia Pengjie with ugly faces. These people were Xia Pengjie's former classmates, and they were attracted by the high salary that Xia Pengjie mentioned.
Xia Pengjie, who was about to go into the water, was stunned. He had been on Xiang Yang's boat for a long time and had fallen in love with diving operations. It was fun, safe, and there was extra income, so he never thought that some people did not like underwater operations.
Now, seeing that his classmates all looked unhappy, Xia Pengjie quickly said, "Don't worry, diving operations are voluntary. If you don't want to go into the water, no one will force you."
One of Xia Pengjie's classmates didn't believe it. "Voluntary? Without anyone forcing them, would anyone voluntarily go into the water?"
The people around him also showed suspicion on their faces.
This seemed incredible to them.
Working underwater, how dangerous it is!
Especially in the Coral Sea, they are all top students who graduated from the Ocean University, and they know that the more beautiful the ocean is, the more hidden dangers it contains.
Moreover, frequent diving can cause great harm to the human body.
Xia Pengjie didn't know how to explain to these people, so he just said, "Just watch, you will know in a while."
"Okay, then I'll see what the voluntary law is."
On the other side, Xiang Yang shouted directly: "Master Zhou, please count the number of people going into the water."
"Captain, how many people do we need to count here?" Zhou Wang asked Xiang Yang.
There are exactly seventy sets of diving equipment on the ocean-going fishing vessels and drift net fishing boats, and the total number of crew members on the two ships is about one hundred people.
Xiang Yang thought for a moment and said, "We will send 30 people down here, and leave 40 sets of diving equipment for Chen Qingsheng."
"Okay, I'll go register now."
Zhou Wang agreed, and then gathered all the crew members in the middle of the deck, and shouted loudly: "Everyone who wants to go into the water this time, please come to me to register. As long as you go into the water, regardless of whether you have any harvest, you will be rewarded with a bonus of 200 yuan."
"I, I, I!"
“I’ll sign up!”
As soon as Zhou Wang finished speaking, a group of old sailors shouted loudly.
A new crew member curled his lips and said to Xia Pengjie with disdain: "It's only 200 yuan to go underwater, and there are still people rushing to sign up. Have they never seen money? Don't they know that staying underwater for too long will cause harm to the human body?"
As a result, when he looked at Xia Pengjie, he found that Xia Pengjie had his hand raised high and had already rushed to the front of those who had registered.
"Has Old Xia gone mad because of poverty?" the new crew member asked in astonishment.
At this time, Zhou Wang shouted over there: "Okay, okay, the thirty places have been registered. Those who still want to go in the water can only wait until next time."
Someone immediately begged, "Uncle Zhou, why are there only 30 people going down this time? Don't end the registration so soon. I didn't go down last time, so please let me go this time."
"Yes, Master Zhou, count me in."
Zhou Wang naturally strictly followed Xiang Yang's orders, "No, there are only 30 sets of diving equipment on the ship this time, there is no more. If you want to go down again, you should wait until next time."
Among the more than 40 crew members on Xiang Yang's ship, there were only a few new ones. Soon, 30 sets of diving equipment were distributed. The old crew members who had not yet signed up sighed in the puzzled eyes of the new crew members.
At this time, a new crew member secretly asked an old crew member, "Isn't it only two hundred yuan for a trip? Why are you all rushing to go down?"
"Two hundred yuan is too little for a trip down there, right?" Xiang Yang, who had been observing from the side, asked with a smile.
The two crew members who were whispering were immediately startled when they saw Xiang Yang, and they hurriedly shouted, "Captain."
Xiang Yang smiled and nodded, then patted the new crew member on the shoulder and said, "You may not understand how the diving work on our ship is arranged. Generally speaking, we are not allowed to dive for more than half an hour each time. After staying underwater for half an hour, we must return to the deck to rest for a while."
"So when I say that you can get a 200 yuan bonus for each trip, I mean you can stay underwater for half an hour. If the fishery resources on the seabed of this sea area are very poor, then the diving operation will be over in half an hour, but the bonus will still be paid." Xiang Yang said. (To be continued)
