Chapter eight hundred and eighty second surprise after the accident
The most direct benefit of this accident that Jiang Hua encountered is that no one is blocking the aircraft carrier transaction.
Sam also knows that he is in the wrong, and now he has no shame to bring up any interference.
Although Jiang Hua only suffered superficial injuries, at the request of all parties, he was forced to be hospitalized and observed for two days.
Lao Mou and his wife were in Vladivostok when they learned that their immediate boss was hospitalized. They were shocked and brought a fruit basket to visit him that day.
"I told you it's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."
Jiang Hua lay helpless on the hospital bed.
His calf was only scratched by a bullet, and it could be cured with a disinfectant and bandage. He didn't need to be hospitalized at all.
"Mr. Jiang, this is a gunshot wound. Don't be careless."
Lao Mou stood in the ward and spoke earnestly.
"It's too dangerous. I always thought that the public security in Vladivostok was very good."
Xia Ying sighed with emotion on the side.
She and Lao Mou still don't know what happened to Jiang Hua. They only know that he was injured and hospitalized.
Being kidnapped by overseas agents was a confidential matter, and no one explained it to the couple.
"How is the construction progress at the International Port? Is it going well?"
Jiang Hua lazily leaned on the bed and asked.
Although Vladivostok has arranged a single ward for him, he is treated like a VIP.
But he still felt that being hospitalized here would not be as comfortable as at home.
The biggest difference is the size of the nurses. They are taller and bigger, and the syringes they hold in their hands are one size larger than those in China. It is scary to look at them.
Little did he know that those tall and tall nurses were actually special agents sent by Lao Pu to protect him.
"It went very smoothly. In addition, the shipping company's cooperation with Sanxin was also good. They gave us a very satisfactory price."
Lao Mou stood beside the hospital bed and reported work to Jiang Hua.
"They are sanctioned by Sam, and we are the only ones willing to help them transport the goods. How can we not give a happy price?"
Jiang Hua smiled carelessly.
"Mr. Jiang, there is a situation that requires you to make a decision. The shipping company has a number of ships that are too old and have reached the age of being eliminated. Moreover, the economic environment here is not very good, and there are not so many ships available."
Xia Ying hesitated and said.
"Then let's eliminate it. You can make the decision on this small matter."
Jiang Hua didn't know why he had to bring it up for instructions on such a trivial matter alone.
"But as a result, all the crew members on the old ships will inevitably be laid off. You also know the current situation here."
Xia Ying didn't speak clearly, but Jiang Hua could understand.
Now that Mao Xiong's economy is collapsing and prices are soaring, being able to have a stable job is something that everyone envies.
If the crew members on these old ships are laid off, it will undoubtedly make their situation worse, and it is very likely that the entire family will collapse as a result.
"Can't it be diverted to other freighters?"
Jiang Hua pondered for a moment and asked.
If an enterprise wants to develop, it is inevitable to abandon the old and welcome the new. It is impossible for him to keep the old ships that are on the verge of being eliminated just to arrange for these people.
"The number of people on each ship is almost fixed. This cannot be arranged at will."
Lao Mou explained with a wry smile.
Shipping is not like other industries. Employees diverted from other industries can be put into other departments, but freighters are like a carrot and a pit. From the captain to the crew, they are almost all fixed.
"Then buy a batch of new ships. The old ships should be phased out. They are prone to accidents if they are kept."
Jiang Hua waved his hand and made a decision.
"But now that the economic environment is so depressed, we don't need to keep too many boats."
Lao Mou was a little anxious.
Although their shipping company's profits have fallen recently, it is still making money. Other peers are in far worse situations, and many are on the verge of bankruptcy.
"The difficulties are only temporary. When the trade between the two countries is negotiated, the economy will slowly recover."
Jiang Hua's vision was not as short-sighted as Lao Mou's.
Currently Vladivostok has been confirmed as a border trade city. Once the agreement is officially signed, the economy here will be the first to recover.
"Lao Mou, since the big boss has made the decision, let's just do it."
Seeing that Lao Mou wanted to say something else, Xia Ying tugged on his sleeve.
The woman is soft-hearted. From the bottom of her heart, she also wants to keep those old crew members. Now the prices here in Mao Xiong have risen so much that even if they have a job, they may not be able to have enough to eat, let alone if they don't have a job.
"Mr. Jiang, have a good rest. We will see you again tomorrow."
Lao Mou saw Jiang Hua's brows were a little troubled, so he said goodbye knowingly.
"You don't have to come every day. I told you it was a minor injury and I might be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."
Jiang Hua waved his hand and told the couple to focus on work.
After Lao Mou and his wife left, Katyusha walked into the ward with a complicated expression. She had been in the corridor just now, and she heard all the conversations in the ward.
"Thank you for not laying off those crew members."
She thanked her sincerely.
Those people are all her compatriots. The unemployment rate in Mao Xiong is ridiculously high now. Having a job is better than anything else.
"You don't need to thank me, I am also considering the development of the enterprise."
Jiang Hua answered nonchalantly.
He is not a philanthropist. He did not lay off employees because he was optimistic about the future economic development here.
"The Jisuke will arrive at the port tomorrow. As the facilitator of this transaction, you should be successful. Is your leg okay?"
Katyusha's eyes fell on Jiang Hua's leg that was scratched by the bullet.
"It's been fine for a long time. It's you who made such a fuss and insisted on hospitalizing me."
Jiang Hua was refreshed when he heard that the Jifu would arrive at Vladivostok tomorrow.
This is the first aircraft carrier purchased for the mainland through his hands, and he must go and see it.
Because the kidnapping failed and the handle fell into human hands, Sam had no shame to yell anymore, so some of the equipment that was originally planned to be dismantled was not dismantled. This was a complete aircraft carrier, not the emasculated version as previously agreed.
"For your safety, a bulletproof vehicle will be dispatched tomorrow. Also, when attending the ceremony, you must not wander around, especially not out of my sight."
Katyusha now shoulders the responsibility of Jianghua's personal bodyguard.
Although Xue Shan is also very capable, this is a foreign country after all, and Katyusha has a home field advantage here.
"No way, there are still people who would not give up and take action against me?"
Jiang Hua's eyes widened in surprise.
Now that the deal has been settled, it seems meaningless no matter which party makes the move.
"Prevent it from happening before it happens."
Katyusha smiled.
Her appearance is still very good, especially when she smiles, she is very charming.
"Okay, I'm still very afraid of death. You just have to look at the arrangements. In this regard, I respect your professional opinions."
Jiang Hua lay down with his hands behind his head.
