"The sea area I went to is almost more than three hundred nautical miles away from our country." Cao Dalong has obviously done some homework:
"The average sea depth is several hundred meters, but the sea area I went to is the sea area marked by the boss. It is relatively shallow, with a depth of about seventy or eighty meters."
Upon hearing this Hai Shen, Zhu Yu and the others looked a little solemn.
After all, before, mainly on the big island, the sea depth was basically 40 to 50 meters, or even 20 to 30 meters.
Diving at such a depth is not stressful, but when it reaches 70 or 80 meters, it becomes a bit difficult.
"So we have to pay attention to the equipment and boats we prepare. In addition, because we say it's ours there, but others say it's theirs, it's easy to cause trouble at sea."
"It's okay, let's stop on our side and then sneak over." Zhu Yu had always planned this.
"This is the only way." Naturally, individuals cannot compete with a country's warships, and there is no need to do so, so sneaking over is the best way.
Cao Dalong also introduced other information, including nearby waterways, passing ships, hydrological conditions, etc.
Regarding these, Zhu Yu and the others were no longer amateurs, so after listening, they roughly formed a three-dimensional concept of the nearby sea area in their minds.
After Cao Dalong finished speaking, he said with some regret:
"The main reason is that our country does not allow it. Otherwise, boss, you can buy a super yacht with two ultra-small personal submarines on it. It is much more convenient to observe underwater than to dive!"
Zhu Yu really didn't understand this, so he asked curiously:
"How big of a submarine can it fit on a yacht?"
"Yes. In the small but exclusive world of personal submarines, there are two brands: U-Boat Worx and Triton. The two companies are in most cases one-for-one and serve different missions, passenger numbers and The seating layout offers a range of alternative services.”
Speaking of this, Cao Dalong's eyes were shining:
"I've seen actual photos of their small private submarines. They weigh more than two tons. They can be hauled away by a truck and cost about one million US dollars. With your financial resources, boss, you can definitely buy several of them."
When he got excited, he flipped through his phone and quickly found the photos stored in it and showed them to Zhu Yu:
"You see, this thing is full of science fiction, and the lighting is very strong, which is very good for people with cabin fever."
Zhu Yu looked at the small submarine, which felt like James Bond's underwater personal submersible. It really looked like future technology.
"It's digital, very luxurious inside, and easy to operate..."
Zhu Yu was really moved.
"Let's find a way to get in touch and order two." Zhu Yu said immediately, "Our country does not allow private submarines, but there will definitely be no problem on the big island."
"Boss, after you buy it, can I play with it?" Cao Dalong said with a smile while looking for contact information.
"It's definitely no problem." Zhu Yu said with a smile.
After the initial contact, they needed to know Zhu Yu's identity and the specific requirements for customizing a private submarine.
Zhu Yu thought for a while, but it was not urgent anyway, so he said that he would go to the company to talk directly after this period of time was over.
Two days later, Zhu Yu and the others left the city and went to the seaside.
"This is where I grew up."
After getting off the car, Cao Dalong introduced to Zhu Yu, "A typical seaside town with not many people, but there have been quite a few people traveling in the past two days. There are many internet celebrities on the seaside doing live broadcasts pretending to catch fish..."
"Pretend to catch fish?" Qin Fei was a little surprised, "How?"
"Put some fish on the beach and pick them up yourself." Cao Dalong said disdainfully: "There are so few resources on the beach now, how can we really gain so much by going to the sea?
I came back some time ago and got up early in the morning to catch the sea. In two hours, I found a total of two fish and one crab..."
Zhu Yu was no exception and said with a smile:
"Many anchors are doing this now. Not only those who go to the sea, but also those who go to the mountains, those who pick up stones in the Gobi Desert, and those who dig jade in the river. There are many fakers."
After settling Zhu Yu and the others in the nicest hotel in the small town, Zhu Yu said he wanted to visit Cao Dalong's parents.
"Aren't you going?" Cao Dalong was a little embarrassed. He was really afraid that his parents would say something excessive that would make Zhu Yu unable to step down, or make him too embarrassed and uncomfortable.
"That won't work." Zhu Yu said with a smile: "After all, I am your boss, and we are brothers. If I don't visit you when we get here, then I, a junior, am doing something wrong."
He patted Cao Dalong on the shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, I'll just sit here and leave when the ceremony is over. I won't embarrass you."
Cao Dalong had no choice but to agree.
Zhu Yu bought some gifts, cigarettes and alcohol in the mall, and went to their house with Cao Dalong and Qin Fei.
Qin Fei was sitting in the car and also bought gifts, very low-key.
Zhu Yu knew a little bit about the situation of Cao Dalong's family.
Cao Dalong's father was a local fisherman. When he caught up with the good times, he contracted a village fishing boat to go fishing in the open sea and made a lot of money.
One time I caught a large net of yellow croaker, which made me successful. Then I got my own fishing boat, which made my fortune bigger and bigger.
Once he had some money, he became famous, and then he married a college student in the city.
First, the eldest son Cao Dafeng was born, and then the second son Cao Dalong was born.
Cao Dalong was considered a superborn and was fined a lot of money.
Because of the difficult childbirth, Cao Dalong's mother Yue Haiyan was not very close to Cao Dalong and felt that giving birth to him made her body in poor condition.
This is also the reason why Cao Dalong later went to the army, while his brother Cao Dafeng stayed at home and went fishing with his father Cao Haiyang.
Although Cao Haiyang is a good player at sea, he is a bitch in front of his wife Yue Haiyan and dare not say a word to her.
After all, he is more than ten years older than Yue Haiyan, and when Yue Haiyan married into the village, she was considered the most beautiful woman in the village.
However, the Cao family, which was originally a very prosperous family, slowly declined due to the gynecological disease caused by Yue Haiyan's birth to Cao Dalong.
It wasn't until Cao Dalong followed Zhu Yu that the Cao family's life improved again.
Along the way, Cao Dalong gave Zhu Yu vaccinations, and Zhu Yu kept responding, assuring Cao Dalong that he would stay for half an hour at most and then leave.
】
After all, it's polite to come here. If you want to cause trouble to someone else's family, then it's really wrong.
He also wanted Cao Dalong to continue working here. The four of them get along pretty well and work well together. It would be troublesome if they were replaced.
When he arrived at the fishing village where the Cao family was located, Zhu Yu discovered that this small fishing village a few kilometers away from the sea was actually quite wealthy.
Probably because of planning, every household is a two-story building.
"This is a project to benefit the people." Seeing Zhu Yu looking at it curiously, Cao Dalong said, "Every household has been renovated - in fact, many people have not decorated the second floor. The whole family lives on the first floor, and the second floor is used as a warehouse. .”
Zhu Yu understood.
Almost no one builds two-story houses in the village where the Zhu family lives. It would be better to build a bungalow that is more spacious and convenient for going out. People in the village are used to going out to the yard, so going up and down the stairs always feels inconvenient.
The Cao family is the fifth house in the row of houses near the sea in the village. It is obvious that the gate and the exterior wall of the two-story building have been newly renovated, making it more beautiful than other small buildings.
"I called my family. My family should be waiting now." When he came to the door and got out of the car, Cao Dalong said:
"Come on, come in."
The door was open. As soon as Zhu Yu entered, he heard a warm greeting from inside:
"This is Dalong's boss, Mr. Zhu, look at this talent!" A middle-aged woman walked out with a smile on her face, followed by a bald middle-aged man and a young man who looked more like Cao Dalong.
Cao Haiyang, Yue Haiyan, Cao Dafeng.
Yue Haiyan was indeed the head of the family and was the first to greet them.
She is relatively thin and has indeed been sick. She has some dark spots on her face and her skin is not very good, but her complexion is not bad.
"Hello, Uncle Cao, hello Auntie." Zhu Yu greeted politely, and then shook hands with Cao Dafeng:
"You are Brother Dafeng, hello!"
"Look at how polite Mr. Zhu is. Let's go and talk to him in the house." Yue Haiyan said with a smile on her face.
Qin Fei and Cao Dalong brought in the gifts Zhu Yu bought.
"Come, come, drink tea!" Yue Haiyan poured tea for Zhu Yu, "Our Dalong has made a lot of money following you these days! If he doesn't understand anything, you should take care of him more!"
"Dalong is fine here, he's been a big help to me." Zhu Yu said with a smile while holding a tea cup, "It's different for those who have been soldiers, one can stand up to several!"
"That's good, that's good!" Yue Haiyan didn't expect Zhu Yu to praise Cao Dalong so much. She was a little surprised and reluctantly agreed with a smile.
Cao Dafeng couldn't help but interjected:
"Boss Zhu, is it easy for you to make a fortune hunting for treasures overseas? I heard that the treasures of foreign pirates are very valuable!"
"Brother, how can it be that easy!" Cao Dalong listened to his brother asking such a question and retorted, "If it were that easy, then those who go abroad would become rich, so why would they be washing dishes or picking up garbage?"
"Dalong, your brother is just talking! Why are you so anxious..." Seeing Cao Dalong refute his brother, Yue Haiyan frowned and scolded, "It's obvious to you, isn't it?"
Cao Dalong stopped talking.
Seeing this, Zhu Yu understood. He put down his tea cup and said with a smile:
"It's easy to say it's easy..."
When Cao Dafeng heard Zhu Yu's words, he immediately said proudly:
"I'm just saying..."
"I say it's easy, but it also has to be divided into people. With luck, you can find a treasure worth millions in one go. It's not easy, it's not easy either. Maybe you've been looking for ten or twenty years and still haven't found it. , and even lose everything..."
He glanced at Cao Haiyang, who was sitting there smoking without saying a word, and said:
"It's just like going out to sea. If you're lucky, you'll catch a boatload of wild large yellow croakers. If you're not lucky, if you go out for half a month and only catch some small fish and shrimps, the net may be broken. Who can tell you? go?"
When he said this, the three members of the Cao family looked unhappy.
"I'm using this as an analogy. If it doesn't suit you, you can take some of it." Zhu Yu said again, then took a sip of tea and said, "Good tea."
After chatting for a few words, Yue Haiyang and Cao Dafeng had been trying to get close to Zhu Yu and get information. They wanted to hear how Zhu Yu made a fortune outside and how much money he made.
After Zhu Yu hit two soft nails, Cao Dafeng stood up and walked out rudely.
Originally, Zhu Yu planned to stay for ten minutes and then leave, but Yue Haiyan and Cao Haiyang refused to let him go and insisted on staying for dinner.
Zhu Yu had no choice but to stay.
Lunch is rice and various seafood.
It can be seen that the Cao family has indeed prepared a rich meal this time. All kinds of seafood and various ways to eat them have really opened Zhu Yu's eyes.
During the dinner, Cao Dafeng did not come back, but Yue Haiyan made a phone call, and Zhu Yu could hear the impatient tone on the phone.
Cao Dalong didn't speak at all, probably because he was used to it.
After dinner, when Zhu Yu was about to find a chance to say goodbye, Yue Haiyan asked Cao Dalong to get the dried seafood for Zhu Yu.
After Cao Dalong left, Yue Haiyan immediately said to Zhu Yu:
"Mr. Zhu, I'm not going to hide it from you. Our family has great feng shui and is practical in doing things. Your business is big, so bring him along. My whole family is grateful to you!"
Zhu Yu didn't expect Yue Haiyan to ask such a difficult question. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"Auntie, I really don't need too many people in this line of work. I have enough people here..."
"Then how about leaving Da Long behind and taking Da Feng with you? That's okay, right?"
Zhu Yu turned his head and looked at the door.
Cao Dalong was standing at the door carrying a bag of dry goods, looking at Yue Haiyan with a sullen face.
Yue Haiyan didn't expect Cao Dalong to come back so soon.
But now that she was heard, she stopped covering up and said:
"Dalong, since you're back too, I'll talk openly. Your brother Dafeng talked about someone. He said your brother didn't have a serious job, so I thought about asking your boss to take charge of it. Your boss just said that. , there is no shortage of people, then you can give up your seat to your brother..."
"This can't happen." Zhu Yu saw Cao Dalong's eyes turning red, suppressed his anger, and said immediately:
"Auntie, I am very good at using Dalong. I am not in this business based on whether the water is good or not, whether it is practical or not, but on skill.
I fell in love with Dalong because he had served in the special forces, was very skilled, and could protect me at critical moments. It’s dangerous to be in our line of work. Although Dafeng looks tall and strong, he’s not very skilled, so he might get injured or something...
Don’t think it’s easy for us to make money, we are also licking blood on the tip of a knife! Are you willing to let the strong wind pass and take this risk? Besides, when we go out, I will equip them all with guns. Will the strong wind affect the guns? Dare to hit someone? "
As soon as it was said on the phone, although Yue Haiyan was dubious, she stopped mentioning the topic.
Zhu Yu walked to the yard and was about to leave when a dozen people suddenly poured in from outside the door. There are young people, middle-aged people, and old men.
Seeing so many people coming in, Yue Haiyan was also a little dumbfounded.
When these people saw Zhu Yu, they immediately gathered around and said excitedly:
"Are you Dalong's boss?"
"You are the one who brought the dragon to make a fortune? What do you think of me? Take me with you, too?"
“Looking at such a young age, it’s really hard to show off—Dafeng is right, isn’t he?”
Zhu Yu was stunned at that time.
But he also realized that Cao Dafeng had exposed his affairs at the Cao family.
