Chapter 232: Why Don't You Dare to Argue with the Fisheries Administration? They Just Bully You Because You're Honest!

The Fisheries Administration Department even prominently displayed news of their acquisition of new unmanned patrol boats on their official website.

The momentum was fully built, and at the same time, the Fisheries Administration Department specially invited their brother unit, the Coast Guard Bureau, to attend the ceremony.

When the Coast Guard Bureau leaders received the invitation, their faces turned green with anger. Isn't this just bullying?

For so many years, we've only been trailing behind the Navy, breathing their exhaust. When will it be the Fisheries Administration's turn to step on our heads and relieve themselves?

Although there's a division of labor but no separation of families, what the Fisheries Administration did this time was too much!

"Director Yang, how did you handle this mission? The Fisheries Administration only offered 100,000 more than us. Why didn't you raise the price? Can't the Coast Guard afford 100,000 yuan?"

"Exactly! Director Feng Yu just bullies you because you're easy to talk to. If it were me, if Director Feng Yu dared to say one more word, I'd smack him with my shoe sole!"

Director Yang Santai's mouth twitched. If you're so capable, why didn't you try to get chosen when the Great Leader was picking someone to go?

All of you just know how to brag. If I could set the price myself, would I have been suppressed by Director Feng Yu?

"What the Great Leaders said is correct. We'll get the new unmanned boats next month, so it's not much of a delay," Director Feng Yu said with a fawning smile.

The Great Leader cleared his throat: "Last year, the Army, Navy, and Air Force all reaped a lot of technological benefits from Julong Steel Factory and won major awards. We've been picking up the Navy's scraps for so many years and haven't won a single award. Director Yang, you know what to do, right?"

"Great Leader, don't worry. Director Lu of Julong Steel is humble, and if we ask, he will definitely agree to let our Coast Guard report the unmanned boat technology," Director Yang Santai guaranteed.

The Great Leader nodded in satisfaction: "I'll leave this matter to you."

Director Yang Santai watched the Great Leader leave, then walked out of the conference room.

Inside the Coast Guard compound, large red characters were painted on the white wall: "Sonar without copper is useless to salvage. Hand it over to the Coast Guard for a 500,000 reward!"

Director Yang Santai exhaled a breath of stale air. Director Feng Yu and the others probably wouldn't expect me to borrow a chicken to lay eggs.

The delivery ceremony for the Dragon Shark Unmanned Boat was grand yet brief. In the entire Qinchuan City, only Zhou Wen, after multiple applications, was allowed to enter the factory.

The idea of other provincial and municipal Great Leaders coming to ride the coattails didn't materialize. Aside from more than a dozen Great Leaders from the Fisheries Administration, only the workers from Julong Steel remained.

"Look at that Great Leader from the Fisheries Administration, his mouth is practically crooked from smiling. Is he really that happy?"

"You don't understand. The Fisheries Administration has been using third-hand vessels for years. It's not easy to get a brand new, unopened, and unlaunched patrol boat. How could he not be happy?"

"Still don't quite understand, but it's good as long as our factory makes money."

"Think about it, you marry a wife, but then someone tells you she had two other husbands before, each one formidable. How would you feel?"

"Ah? This..."

"I get it. A vast green grassland, right?"

"It's not a vast green grassland, but you'd definitely feel uncomfortable. We're all born of the same mother, so why do I always wear clothes my older siblings have used?"

After the delivery ceremony, Lu Shenwei led the Fisheries Administration Great Leaders to the reception room.

"Great Leaders, how would you like the four unmanned boats to be delivered?"

The Guózì Liǎn Fisheries Administration Great Leader waved his hand with a chuckle: "Director Lu, no need to bother. Our Fisheries Administration trucks are just outside your factory gate. We'll take the unmanned boats away shortly."

"This... isn't it too rushed?"

"Not rushed at all. The dedicated high-speed transport line has already been approved."

The Fisheries Administration Department had been waiting for this day for too long, too long. If they let Julong Steel transport them, wouldn't they have to wait until tomorrow?

No, no, we can't wait another day!

Lu Shenwei said sternly: "Very well. I hope our cooperation will be even more pleasant in the future."

"Director Lu is straightforward, but there's something I want to remind your factory: the unmanned boat construction efficiency is too low, only four per month."

Hearing the Fisheries Administration Great Leader say this, Lu Shenwei nodded awkwardly: "We are increasing production capacity, but as you can see, our dry dock is good for research and development, but it's still a bit lacking for direct production."

As early as when the Dragon Shark Unmanned Boat experimental model was launched, Lu Shenwei had already considered the production capacity issue.

After a month of practical experience, it was proven that Julong Steel Factory could build ships, but the speed was too slow. To make big money, they had to outsource production or move the entire factory directly to a coastal city.

"Just a casual mention, Director Lu, don't take it to heart."

After speaking, the Fisheries Administration Great Leaders happily left with the vehicles, covered by striped tarpaulins, heading straight for the highway.

And just half an hour after the Fisheries Administration Great Leaders left, a truck stopped in front of Julong Steel Factory.

"Chairman, the Fisheries Administration Great Leaders sent a truckload of river fish."

"River fish? What species?"

"There are silver carp, bighead carp, black fish, and grass carp. Director Feng said our artificial lake is lifeless, so putting in some river fish would improve the water quality."

Lu Shenwei smiled: "Throw them in the lake. Later, when we have free time, we can hold a fishing competition in our factory's artificial lake."

【Big news! The small boat built by Julong Steel has finally been delivered!】

【Holy cow, what's going on? Julong Steel built a ship?】

【I heard it's an unmanned boat. Julong Steel's official website released a brief news item, but there's no other information besides that.】

Ye Ao Wo Nai He uploaded a blurry photo of the entrance to Julong Steel Factory, with four large trucks lined up in a row.

The truck bodies were covered with impenetrable tarpaulins, so it was unknown what they were carrying.

【Brother, are you serious?】

【This time he didn't talk trash, but I feel like his account is going to be gone!】

Brother Qi saw the post and was about to leave a message to warn him, "Absolutely no leaks," but the webpage suddenly refreshed, showing that the viewed post did not exist.

"Brothers, a bloody example. This brother probably got taken out for leaking secrets."

【Daring to take photos at the entrance of Julong Steel Factory, that's some nerve!】

【The last person who did that was reportedly educated for half a year.】

【@Ye Ao Wo Nai He, are you still alive, brother?】

【Alive my ass, didn't you see his profile picture is black? User account deleted!】

"Don't go snooping around online for no reason, especially for classified content," Brother Qi warned.

【Brother Qi, do you know the inside story? What model of vessel did Julong Steel build?】

【Brother Qi knows but won't tell you.】

Brother Qi said helplessly: "How could I know the inside story? But from the official announcement on Julong Steel's website, the new vessel built by Julong Steel is definitely not large in volume."

"The only places Dragon Xia currently uses small boats are coastal and inland river transport."

【Ah? Director Lu didn't build a sand-dredging boat, did he?】

【What the hell, a sand-dredging boat? It has no technical content at all, okay? Would Director Lu build something like that?】

【Stop guessing. Just wait and see the announcements from the Navy, Coast Guard, or Fisheries Administration later, and you'll know.】

The netizens made a series of wild guesses, while Lu Shenwei called Gu Ming.

If the unmanned boat production capacity couldn't increase, even with good equipment, they wouldn't make big money.

"Successfully delivered? Congratulations!" Gu Ming said with joy.

Lu Shenwei said: "It's still thanks to Director Gu's excellent guidance back then. However, we've encountered a new problem: production capacity can't keep up. I'd like you to introduce us to two contract shipbuilding factories."
