Chapter 821: Chapter 559: Flood Control Is Our Specialty! (Part 3)
No wonder Salted Fish assigned them to the First Company.
And it’s no wonder Salted Fish made him Deputy Battalion Commander and Company Commander of the First Company.
They aren’t just bringing resources as an investnt, their excavator alone is worth over four million. It’s only right to make them the main force. If an ergency rescue mission is implented, the role they can play is unmatched by others.
Everyone, including Xu Mingyuan, was sincerely convinced of President Hao being appointed as Deputy Battalion Commander and Company Commander of the main company.
Hao Qiusheng looked at the crowd, shocked, then turned to Han Yu, "Camp Commander, I have an idea regarding the earthwork transportation unit. We have two large dump trucks, and the camp has three liberation army trucks. But if we are on an ergency mission, the road conditions on the levee might not allow for these five large trucks to transport the earth needed to close the breach."
Each profession has its own expertise.
In terms of construction, this "brother" in front of us is an expert.
Han Yu asked quietly, "What should we do then?"
"Using my years of construction experience, we need to set up two earth transportation units. The first unit will consist of these five large vehicles, and the second unit will be entirely tractors, specifically those with cargo boxes."
"Tractors?"
"When we built roads, we mainly relied on tractors to transport sand and mixed concrete. Although tractor diesel engines are single-cylinder and have low power, their gearboxes are well-designed for high torque, towing two or three tons with no problem. They’re adaptable to various road conditions and can maneuver easily when turning."
Any rural youth has driven a tractor.
Han Yu’s eyes lit up, chuckling, "That’s true, but where can we find so many tractors?"
"Not hard to find." Hao Qiusheng took a small sip of water and confidently said, "We have over thirty independent tractor owners who’ve been working with our Road and Bridge Company long-term. They each earn tens of thousands in transport fees from us annually. If there’s an ergency mission, I just need to give them a call, and they’ll surely co."
"We don’t need that many, do we?"
"I’ve considered this, selecting fifteen relatively young, technically proficient, and reliable ones for enlistnt."
"All right, let’s do it!"
Driving a tractor is quite flashy.
Especially cargo tractors, if a dozen or so are driven out together, it’ll look like a mighty charge of a thousand horses.
Han Yu was imagining the spectacular scene of a tractor transportation unit hauling earth load by load when Dong Maosheng, a military transfer official from Customs, raised his hand.
"Director Dong, do you have sothing to add?"
"Camp Commander, what President Hao said about the excavator reminded
of sothing."
"What is it?"
"Our Customs recently seized a smuggled second-hand excavator, made by Japan’s Hitachi. Although it’s used, it’s well-maintained, looks about seventy to eighty percent new."
The excavator isn’t just a treasure in the Reserve Camp; it’s a gem in both Linghai and Binjiang as well.
If Hao Qiusheng wasn’t bluffing earlier, there are only three twenty-ton excavators like theirs in all of Binjiang!
Including the developnt zone’s sites, trying to get an excavator requires booking in advance.
When an excavator driver arrives at a site, the site manager treats the driver like an esteed guest, offering als and cigarettes. Even now, the Road and Bridge Company’s excavator is out making big money.
The information Director Dong provided was very tily.
The more Han Yu thought about it, the more excited he beca, eagerly asking, "How does your Customs plan to handle that excavator?"
"It’ll definitely be auctioned, but only after the case is concluded."
"Where is the excavator now?"
"The equipnt is so large, our unit can’t store it. We’ve had to take it to the traffic police’s impound lot and asked them for assistance in watching it."
Hao Qiusheng was even more interested in that excavator than Han Yu, his "younger brother," and couldn’t help but ask, "Director Dong, when do you expect the case to be concluded and the auction to occur?"
Director Dong smiled and asked, "President Hao, do you want to buy it?"
"Our company can’t keep up with just one excavator, we’ve wanted another one for a while now."
"But that one’s second-hand."
"What’s wrong with second-hand? Your Customs specializes in cracking down on smuggling. You surely know better than I do how many excavators are smuggled in from East Guang every year. I just don’t have the connections. If I did, I would’ve bought one long ago."
"President Hao, you’re a state-owned enterprise leader, a Party cadre, and now you’re also the Deputy Battalion Commander of our camp. How can you smuggle?" Han Yu asked with a mix of amusent and exasperation.
Realizing he’d spoken too excitedly and said the wrong thing, Hao Qiusheng quickly said, "I was just joking."
The excavator is a trump card in flood control and ergency rescues!
How could Han Yu miss this opportunity? He turned and smiled, "Director Dong, could you inquire if we can store it in our camp? We’re a military camp; it’s safer parked here than at the traffic police’s impound lot."
The Third Company Deputy Instructor Guo Weitao, noticing his superior’s strong interest in obtaining that excavator, comnted opportunely, "Director Dong, I transferred from the traffic police to the Water Police Station. I’m very familiar with that impound lot’s lax managent. Such a precious excavator isn’t safe there."
Dong Maosheng smiled and turned to Han Yu, "Camp Commander, just changing the storage place doesn’t require
to ask leadership for help. You should give Director Zeng a call, and he’ll surely agree."
