Chapter 0928 – Luxury Salvage Ship (II)

For Zhuang Rui to rename the ship, Clyde didn’t have any dissatisfaction, after all, it was the boss’s right, and Zhuang Rui had to pay an extra fee to the country where it was registered for this name.

But Zhuang Rui put such a luxury ferry, transformed into a salvage ship, let Claude very puzzled and very dissatisfied, he wants to be the captain of a luxury ferry, not a salvage ship captain.

Like this kind of luxury merchant ship, Zhuang Rui only need to lease it to the ocean company, then the rest of the things do not need to ask Zhuang Rui, with the current global tourism fever, I believe that those companies can maximize the benefits of the development of this merchant ship.

But how could Captain Clyde not expect, Zhuang Rui even installed the drilling platform and the damn floating crane on the ship, the floating crane two as if the arms of the long shelf, completely destroyed the image of the whole ship.

“Does this Chinese person really think that the sea is full of treasures and that he can just walk to a random place and salvage them?”

Clyde looked at the young man in front of him, his heart was very unimpressed, when he was young, he also did such things as searching for pirate treasures and salvaging dreams of shipwrecks at the bottom of the sea.

But with the growth of age, Claude realized that the reason why the dream is called a dream is because every time it appears, it is in a dream, and only when he wakes up does he know how cruel the reality is.

Zhuang Rui looked at this bearded ship and said with a smile on his face, “Clyde, don’t you want the Xuan Rui ship to run across the sea and stay in the harbor as a flower bone all the time? Have you forgotten the honor that a sailor should have? Could it be that you have turned from a brave sailor to a cowardly captain?!”

Clyde was a straight-tempered man, he could see from Clyde’s face, his dissatisfaction, for this kind of character, good words are far better than bad words.

So Zhuang Rui had a smile on his face, but the words he said made the bearded captain’s lungs explode, and from the chest that was constantly rising and falling, it could be seen that Captain Clyde was very angry.

“Boss, you are insulting me, our family has produced a total of six captains, but all of them died on the sea, not one of them insulted the honor of a sailor.”

After Clyde heard Zhuang Rui’s words, even the beard on his cheeks exploded, for a sailor, all one has to do is to fight with the waves and fight against the storms.

If it wasn’t for some special reasons, Clyde would have resigned as captain long ago, and Zhuang Rui’s words obviously stabbed the soft underbelly within him that he had been avoiding.

This time Captain Clyde had already forgotten what he was looking for Zhuang Rui for, his hands clenched his fists and looked viciously at his new boss, he had already decided that if Zhuang Rui didn’t give himself a statement, then he would leave this ferry that he had been working on for nearly twenty years.

“Oh? Did I say something wrong? Don’t you want to take those sissies and run a repetitive route every day? Such a life doesn’t seem like something a brave sailor should do.”

Seeing Clyde’s look, Zhuang Rui snickered in his heart, but his face acted very serious, stabbing another knife in Clyde’s bruised ego.

“Oh no, hell no, I want to live like that.”

Without waiting for Zhuang Rui to finish, Clyde screamed strangely, to be honest, he was not interested in that kind of aristocratic captain, back in the day when the gambling ship was still in business, Clyde was still just the first mate of this ship.

The captain that Clyde followed back then basically had to hold receptions every two days, wearing a false smile to entertain those so-called VIPs, this kind of life was not what Clyde wanted.

“Well then, if that’s the case, why do you have such a big problem with remodeling this ship, again?”

Zhuang Rui suddenly changed his words, pulling the topic back to the issue of remodeling this ship, for a moment, the originally excited bearded captain was stopped by Zhuang Rui’s question.

Clyde looked a bit dumbfounded, and muttered, “Yeah …… why would I object to that?”

After Zhuang Rui saw Clyde’s confused look, he hastened to strike the iron while it was hot and said, “Clyde, don’t you want to join me, drive this ship, and go to explore the unknown ocean …… to excavate endless treasures?”

To know, an experienced captain is really not that easy to find, especially since Clyde has been working on this ship for almost twenty years, I believe no one will be more familiar with this luxury ferry than him.

Although the sea has endless treasures as Zhuang Rui said, but at the same time, it is also full of unknown dangers, don’t look at the ship is quite big, but improper operation, the same will sink to the bottom of the sea, Titanic is the best case.

A good captain, will reduce this risk factor to the lowest degree, the matter of life and death, Zhuang Rui naturally want to give this ship to an experienced person to control, so will be so spared no effort to enlighten Clyde.

“Explore the unknown ocean …… to dig up endless treasures.”

Clyde’s mouth recited the words Zhuang Rui had just said, his eyes gradually became brighter, the fists he had just loosened clenched again and roared, “Boss, what you said is fantastic, that’s the life I want.”

“Yes, that’s right, think about it, the treasure that has been silent for thousands of years at the bottom of the sea will be fished out by us, that will shock the world, isn’t it much better than you being a captain of a tourist ship?”

Zhuang Rui patted Clyde’s shoulder, the poor big man had been lulled by Zhuang Rui and couldn’t distinguish between north and south, his mouth was still echoing Zhuang Rui’s words, “Yes, we’re going to shock the world, gosh, boss, how much can those treasures be worth?”

“Hehe, I once got Klaus’ treasures on an island, now they are all displayed in my museum, probably worth more than two billion dollars!”

Zhuang Rui said lightly, listening to Clyde’s two eyes straight up golden light, he came from a family of seafarers, naturally heard the great name of Klaus, and when he was young, he also dreamed of getting Klaus’ treasure.

The news of Klaus’ treasure coming out, Clyde had heard about it, but he just couldn’t expect that it was actually found by his boss.

“Boss, I’m following you, that is to go to that damn Bermuda, I Clyde won’t even frown, I’ll let you know that I’m a real sailor!”

Zhuang Rui’s dawn of love and enticement, finally made the bearded captain submit, that respectful look, just short of giving Zhuang Rui a kissing hand salute.

“Clyde, you won’t regret your choice, I will bring you an exciting new life.”

Zhuang Rui laughed out loud and pointed to the deck where the work was being done and asked, “How long will it take them to finish the drilling platform?”

The floating crane equipment had already been installed, but the drilling platform whose power could reach 700 tons was a bit more troublesome, and this was mainly what had been going on for the past two months or so.

“Boss, I guarantee that it can be completed within three days, you see, the work is already in the finishing stage.”

Clyde was even more anxious than Zhuang Rui in his heart at this moment, after hearing the beautiful prospect depicted by Zhuang Rui just now, he now hated to have the ship start right away, and go to the ocean to look for those shipwrecks or pirate’s treasures.

“Well, the staff on the drilling platform and floating crane, unified under your management, Clyde, I want a captain who knows modern management, do you understand?”

Zhuang Rui nodded, the date to give finished, this also need to play a slap, otherwise don’t get in the future that they can’t check and balance each other.

“Boss, as you wish, I think the facts can prove that I am fully capable of this job.”

Clyde suddenly became civilized when he said this, and also made a gentleman’s salute to Zhuang Rui, he was definitely a qualified gentleman if he was holding a hat in his hand.

Zhuang Rui didn’t say anything, but walked to the construction site, the huge drilling platform had been completely installed, and was now in the debugging stage, thirty-four staff members were busy working.

“Mr. Zhuang, how are you, put on your helmet!” A middle-aged man saw Zhuang Rui coming over and hurriedly greeted him.

“Laborer Zhang, this time when we go out to sea, you have to follow! Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we won’t have a way to fix it.”

Zhuang Rui took the helmet and put it on his head, this middle-aged man was the chief engineer of the equipment side this time, for projects like this that amounted to several hundred million dollars, he was to follow the whole process.

Zhang Gong smiled confidently and said, “Of course, Mr. Zhuang, you can rest assured! Our domestic technical level is not inferior to that of foreign countries, let me introduce to you the working principle of this platform!”

Due to its specificity, half of the platform has exceeded the ship’s hull, which requires a very good balance, the drilling platform with a power of more than seven hundred tons, to be able to ensure that the drilling pipe is connected vertically downwards without any bias under the influence of the sea’s high winds and high waves, which requires very advanced stabilizing technology.

Below the platform, four hydraulic circular passes as thick as tree trunks can generate a thrust of more than 800,000 kilograms, making that huge salvager go deep into the seabed.

According to Zhang Gong’s introduction, this salvager can grab eight times the weight grabbed by the most advanced salvage ship in the world today, that is, with this ferry as a carrier, it can make this salvager play such a role.

“Well, not bad, the day after tomorrow we can go out to sea, right?”

Zhuang Rui couldn’t understand these things at all, he just saw that the original luxurious ferry had now become a bit of a facade.

Zhang Gong nodded and said, “Of course, I’m also looking forward to seeing this platform in action.”

“Brother Zhuang, this ship of ours can probably be called the most luxurious salvage ship in the world, right?”

Peng Fei didn’t know when he came this way, and after joking with Zhuang Rui, he then lowered his voice and whispered in Zhuang Rui’s ear, “Brother Zhuang, that batch of stuff has already been transported to the ship.”
