Over there, Chen Qingsheng obviously also knew what Xiang Yang was really thinking. He followed suit and after throwing the bait into the ocean, he began to watch his heart with his eyes, waiting for Xiang Yang to ask questions.
"This is your first time as captain. Are you comfortable with the command?" Xiang Yang asked Chen Qingsheng.
Chen Qingsheng nodded, "We were very lucky this time. We found valuable catches more than once along the way, especially the sardines we caught yesterday. It was a great harvest. In addition, we didn't encounter any emergencies along the way, so we were able to command them. But I also found a lot of my shortcomings. To truly command that fishing boat, I still need a long time to get used to it with everyone."
Xiang Yang glanced at Chen Qingsheng.
In fact, Xiang Yang also discovered this.
Take that underwater operation for example.
Xiang Yang left forty sets of diving equipment on Chen Qingsheng's ship. However, in the end, Xiang Yang discovered that there were not even forty people getting off Chen Qingsheng's ship.
Although more than thirty people went down, only a few sets of diving equipment were left empty.
But Xiang Yang was very dissatisfied with this. In the past, whenever Xiang Yang mentioned there was a diving mission, the crew members would clamor to go into the water.
Diving fishing has always been Xiang Yang’s most important trump card.
How come there are now more than twenty people in the fleet than before, but fewer people are willing to go to sea than before
If in the future, the people in the fleet are unwilling to perform diving operations anymore, Xiang Yang might as well not form this fleet.
"I think you have done a very bad job in the running-in issue. I have given you a lot of freedom in allocation. When you are on the boat, you don't have to be reluctant to give bonuses to the crew members. You are an experienced fisherman and you should be able to estimate when we make money and when we lose money. As long as we make money, we don't need to be petty." Xiang Yang said in a deep voice.
At the side, Fang Youqun, who was pretending to be fishing, secretly looked up at Xiang Yang. Before, he had never seen Xiang Yang say that Chen Qingsheng did something wrong.
Fang Youqun had always thought that after Chen Qingsheng became the captain, Xiang Yang would rely more on Chen Qingsheng. He never dreamed that Xiang Yang would start criticizing Chen Qingsheng right away.
Chen Qingsheng glanced at Fang Youqun who was pretending to be deaf and dumb, and saw that Xiang Yang did not deliberately avoid Fang Youqun, so he admitted very frankly: "Boss, I know that I am not doing very well here. The main reason is that this is the first time for me to organize a crew to dive and fish. Before going down, I really have no idea whether it will be a profit or a loss, so I dare not give them a bonus."
Xiang Yang nodded and said earnestly: "Master Chen, you are no longer the first mate now, you are a captain."
The captain is responsible for the entire ship.
Including the direction of the ship, the safety of the brothers on board, and even food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Xiang Yang reached out and patted Chen Qingsheng on the shoulder. "You are now directly responsible for the fishing boat. You have to consider the brothers on your boat. I want to make money, but they also have to live. If you can't even let them live, then why should they recognize you as the captain? Why should they help me make money?"
Chen Qingsheng's eyes lit up, and he said bluntly, "Yes, I am responsible for the dozens of crew members on the ship, but my thinking is still the same as when I was the first mate. I always want you to earn more, so that you can reward me more."
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "It's right to let me earn more. After all, only when I make money can you earn more. But before you let me earn more money, you have to find a way to let your crew members earn more."
"Tell me, how much bonus did you give to the crew on your ship this time?" Xiang Yang asked.
Chen Qingsheng scratched his head embarrassedly, "I haven't decided yet. I originally thought that I would decide how much bonus to give out after I go back and discuss it with you."
Hearing this, Xiang Yang smiled and said, "In my fleet, the basic salary is relatively low in the entire ocean fishing industry. The reason why everyone can have such a high income and is so motivated is basically because I am willing to give everyone bonuses as long as I make money."
"If I were a crew member, I would go out and watch the fleet earn tens of millions, but I would work so hard and only get a basic salary. Do you believe me, I would resign as soon as I get back?"
"Got it, boss. When I get back, I will formulate a bonus plan for everyone according to your standards," said Chen Qingsheng.
"By the way, how is Officer Chen? Is your cooperation going smoothly?" Xiang Yang asked.
This Officer Chen was a chief engineer whom Chen Qingsheng had poached from the fleet where he used to work.
Chen Qingsheng's expression was originally calm, but when he heard Xiang Yang mention Chen Guan, his expression immediately turned ugly, "Boss, this time, Chen Guan was not on my boat at all."
"Um?"
Xiang Yang looked up at Chen Qingsheng, "What's going on? Is this person unreliable?"
Xiang Yang is now in great need of talents who can stand on their own feet, but no matter how short the need is, Xiang Yang will not employ unreliable people.
"No, Officer Chen and I are from the same place. He even taught me my navigation skills," Chen Qingsheng explained quickly.
Xiang Yang listened carefully.
After Chen Qingsheng finished speaking, Xiang Yang realized that it was the boss of the fleet that Chen Qingsheng had previously worked for who was extremely dissatisfied with Xiang Yang.
At the beginning, Xiang Yang only poached He Mingde, and the other party didn't care. At that time, He Mingde was just a chief engineer, and they could always hire another one if he was gone.
Later, He Mingde took away Chen Qingsheng, Chen Fusheng, Zhou Wang and Xu Fang.
Zhou Wang was fine. Chen Qingsheng and Chen Fusheng didn't care about him. They were just two hardworking crew members. Even Zhou Wang was just a skilled technician who operated a car.
But Xu Fang was taken away, and the other party was unhappy with Xiang Yang.
When Xu Fang was in that fleet, he was also the head of the driving team and had extensive driving experience. Such people are treasures in any fleet.
This time, Chen Qingsheng and Chen Guan had already reached an agreement, and the other party had agreed to let Chen Guan resign.
"So you're saying that after the boss of that fleet knew that Officer Chen had jumped to my job, he was unwilling to let him go?" Xiang Yang asked in a deep voice.
Chen Qingsheng nodded.
Xiang Yang wondered, "What's going on? Official Chen wants to resign, can he not approve it?"
"This is the difference between us ocean-going sailors and other professions."
Chen Qingsheng smiled bitterly and said, "Ocean-going sailors go out to sea for at least three months. Sometimes it is common to go out to sea for a year or two. We are all paid annually. If the boss does not approve your resignation, you really cannot get your salary." (To be continued)
