Haifu County is quite generous and gives Wang Yi a small passenger ship.

A small passenger ship that was retired...

The name of this ship is Blue Island 10, and it is the tenth ship of the Blue Island series of sightseeing ships operating in the outer islands in the early years.

It is not small in size, with a length of 19.83 meters, a width of 4.5 meters, a designed speed of 12 knots, a fastest reaching 15 knots, a full draft of 1.45 meters, and a total of 39 seats. It is a small and medium-sized boat among sightseeing boats.

In the early years, this ship was a tourism company affiliated to FH County and was specially used to receive sea tourists and anglers.

It is not because it has been too old or has problems with its machinery. It is because the county has successively purchased a number of new tourist ships and navigation fishing ships when the tourism industry was so popular in the past few years.

Who knew that the epidemic came suddenly two years ago, and the tourism industry was hit hard on the ground!

FH County began to transform from the 1990s, changing from the original fishery to walking on two legs - while developing fishery, it also focused on the development of tourism.

The tourism industry in the outer islands developed very well before the epidemic, and the output value it can produce is close to 30% of the fishery, a big number.

At that time, the county asked an actuary to find this expert and that expert to estimate that as the living standards of the people in China improve, the demand for tourism will be more intense.

As a city of thousands of islands, Wengzhou City will welcome a large number of inland tourists.

Under this situation, they upgraded the tourism industry, and the tourism company purchased a lot of ships with intermittent loans.

As a result, when the epidemic came and the tourism industry collapsed, the county's tourism companies and county governments were dumbfounded.

In this case, there is nothing they can do, they can only sell or retire some idle resources.

Things like shipping ships need to be carefully maintained. As long as they are not needed, they are either sealed or retired, they just float on the sea, wind, waves and sun exposure, they have to spend money to maintain them.

For this consideration, the county has introduced policies, and any person who comes to the county for industrial investment, especially industrial investment, will be rewarded.

Wang Yi has invested the most. This year, he spent money to rent islands and bought generators in the county to buy integrated houses. He also hired people from the city's Disabled Persons' Federation, which made the leaders of the county government see it.

The leaders finally held a meeting to discuss, and the reward given to Wang Yi was a passenger ship.

The person who received Wang Yi was the second-in-command in the county, named Qi De, a middle-aged cadre who was a prosperous and powerful man.

The female receptionist sent Wang Yi to him. He shook hands and greeted Wang Yi very enthusiastically, and praised Wang Yi for a long time, which was so shaking his head.

Wang Yi is also very enthusiastic about the leader, after all, he is giving him a passenger ship.

Blue Ocean Ten has been retired, but it is not because it cannot be used. The operating life of this ship is about ten years. It is still open slowly in his hands. It will not be a problem to double the life span.

Moreover, this Blue Ocean No. 10 has a particularly good advantage. It has a balanced rudder under the ship, so it has strong wind resistance and can withstand strong winds of level 8.

Zid laughed as he heard his gratitude and said, "You don't have to thank us, this is what we should do."

"The leaders of our county were very moved by learning that you hired employees from the Disabled Persons' Federation to reduce the burden on the country. We just learned about this a few days ago that we wanted to commend you."

"This happened to be the Fishing Festival in September. After our repeated discussions, we decided to hand over the ship to you. Because we found that you did not have passenger ships to transport employees. With this Blue Ocean No. 10, you hire another driver, so that it will be convenient for your employees to return to the city in the future."

Wang Yi said: "This is great. To be honest, leader, I originally planned to buy another small boat such as a speedboat to pick up and drop off employees."

"The result is that you really want to come to whatever you want. You solved a big difficulty for me."

Zide smiled and waved his hand: "This is what we should do. As our children from the outer island, you will never forget your hometown after you have money and come back to serve your hometown. This is something we particularly admire."

"In this case, we think that if you want to help your hometown, then your hometown cannot neglect you, and you should also help you!"

Wang Yi sighed repeatedly: "Thank you, leaders, thank you all, but unfortunately I am a slight person, otherwise I would really like to invite the leaders to have a meal to express my gratitude."

"It's not because you're so modest, but because we've done something small, and now the state has regulations that we are not allowed to go to the people's homes to eat and drink, so I refuse your invitation." Zide said.

He paused and smiled slightly: "But if you really want to thank our hometown for the support, then when you hire disabled employees in the future, can you consider our county?"

Wang Yi clapped his hands and said, "I just need someone on hand. Leader, you are helping me again, and you are going to do whatever you want!"

"That's right, leader, I still need more than a dozen employees. The main responsibility is to monitor the islands and load and unload goods. I will also be responsible for marine breeding in the future. If there are suitable personnel in our county..."

"Yes, this does!" Qi De said happily, "And many of the people registered in our Disabled Persons' Federation have specialties."

"For example, some people can drive boats and repair boats, while some are old farmers, and they are all technicians."

Wang Yi said: "Who will I get in touch with? I need at least one driver and more than a dozen farmers."

Qi De immediately took out his cell phone and called him, and then gave him a WeChat message to ask him to add a friend. This is the chairman of the county's Disabled Persons' Federation.

The two of them exchanged greetings and achieved their goals. Then someone came and Zid wanted to receive the others.

At this time, a staff member led Wang Yi out and said, "Mr. Wang, if you have time tonight, you can stay. Our fishing festival will last until tomorrow morning. There will be a party in the evening. There will be a good harvest fishing boat back tomorrow morning and we will eat seafood together."

Wang Yi said regretfully: "I'm really sorry, I still have some work arrangements tonight, and it may be difficult for me to stay forever, but I try to adjust my work so as to strive to participate in the party."

At this time, the fishing festival has begun.

After entering the venue, Wang Yi glanced at him and saw that there were many tourists, but there were not many people as a whole.

The audience in the square was sparse.

This made him sigh that the epidemic has hit the tourism industry so hard!

There is a host for the event.

However, it was not very formal to host the host. As a group of boat owners gathered in red clothes in the square, the first item began: the boatmen prayed for their livelihood.

The fishermen in the outer island are very patriotic because their current life and life depend on the development of the country.

The country has subsidies for buying boats and fishing. The country has developed high-tech technologies such as the Beidou system to help them survive and operate at sea. The country's strength can also become their confidence when fishing in the high seas.

In short, the prosperity of the motherland has led to the happy life of fishermen. Therefore, the boat owners took the lead, and all the tourists and guests from all walks of life sang "Singing the Motherland" in unison:

"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, how loud the song of victory is, singing our dear motherland, from now onwards to prosperity and strength..."

The boat owners have sufficient lung capacity, and many of them have been floating on the sea all year round and rely on cigarettes to refresh themselves, and they have developed an old smoke voice.

The heroic and loud voice of old smoke resounded throughout the square, and the singing was indeed very loud.

Wang Yi sang along.

The county leaders and guests from all walks of life attended the banquet with singing.

Wang Yi was honored to be one of the guests.

He is the youngest among them. Many people took out their mobile phones to add friends with him while singing...

After singing the song, the handsome and handsome host walked onto the stage and said in an enthusiastic voice:

"Dear leaders and guests, fishermen and tourists, it is September, and the dragon soars - our Fuhai Fishing Festival has been held for 16 consecutive years."

"Sixteen years of spring and autumn, sixteen years of cold and summer, for the ban on fishing in the East China Sea, it is the sixteen years of protection for our Fuhai fishermen in the ocean, a long and distant sixteen years!"

"However, for the fishermen who are expeditioning the ocean every year and throwing nets to welcome the waves, sixteen years are only a blink of an eye. But you and I know that the surging expectation before the hunt is the same as the solemnity that is born towards the sea for thousands of years!"

The applause rang out loud.

The host bowed to the audience one by one, and when the applause fell, he raised the microphone and continued:

"In the square full of expectations, in front of the fishing port where the sea breeze is howling, our fishermen in Fuhai follow the most authentic fishermen's customs countless years ago, and use a crowded street ritual to start the annual fishing feast!"

Wang Yi scratched his head and stepped on the street? What kind of activity is this?

He did not get the event process list, so he was not sure about the detailed arrangements for the fishing festival this afternoon, so he could only follow the crowd.

However, he thought that the leaders should have spoken and given prizes at the beginning, but he did not expect that the local leaders were quite enlightened and did not rush to come to the stage to show off, but carried out customs activities first.

After that, Wang Yi participated in the street-tracking activity and realized the reason for this arrangement. It turned out that street-tracking sounded very ordinary, just like the boat owner and the fishermen dressed in costumes and beat drums and drums to walk through the streets and alleys.

Many locals have not come yet, but they are not coming anymore. They are all waiting at home, waiting for the call to step on the street.

I saw a golden dragon leading the way, and a professional dragon dancer danced a long dragon. Then the boat boss and the fishermen followed, shouting and beating gongs and drums, shuttled through the tall buildings and alleys of the county town.

Every household was blooming at the door. When Jinlong arrived, the residents came out with a water gun and sprayed water at Jinlong, and then joined the team that was trampling the street. Finally, everyone gathered in the square with the team that was trampling the street.

Wang Yi looked back and looked.

The team has grown stronger now, and at least thousands of people have been shouted out!

That's right.

The fishermen are particularly collectively conscious and are very responsive to group activities.

As the team walked through the streets and alleys back to the square, the square became bustling and frosty.

Many tourists took out their cell phones and raised their selfie sticks to take photos.

Today’s circle of friends is entirely based on street-striking activities to show off!

The street-step activity was about to get out of the climax at the beginning of the Fishing Festival. The host shouted passionately when the team returned:

"I have returned from the street and Xie Dayang. Everyone, let us announce the whole island with our sincere enthusiasm and respect the fishermen in the East China Sea and Fuhai are about to go out to sea. I hope the weather will be good. I hope the sea bless the fishermen and return again. The green fish, white shrimps, red crabs fill the warehouse!"

"Next, please calm down every friend present and invite the leaders of our county to come to the stage to deliver a speech to start this year's fishing event!"

Zide, who had seen Wang Yi, came on stage with a smile on his face. He walked along the way, aiming at him with the media camera, the long guns and short cannons.

Zide's speech was meaningless, it was just a regular speech by the leader, thanking the country, the party, and the people, thanking the ocean...

After his speech, the leaders of the fishery department spoke, the leaders of the rescue unit spoke, the leaders of the coast guard unit spoke, the representative of the ship boss spoke, etc.

When their speeches were over, Wang Yi and others began to appear and receive the commendation.

A beautiful model of the cruise ship was delivered to his hands.

The local government has really put a lot of effort into revitalizing the tourism industry. The ship model they sent was very exquisite, which was the model of the Blue Ocean series cruise ship.
