Chapter 159 Natural or man-made disaster
After a long time, Liu Yong said: "How could he bump into a boat?"
Hu Shijun also said: "Yes, when I heard the news, I thought it was a joke. After repeated verification, a ship collision did indeed occur. A large ship of Risheng Group, worth more than 100,000 tons, hit our "Flying"."
Liu Yong asked, "You mean, the ship of Risheng Group hit us, not our ship hit each other, right?"
"Based on the preliminary situation we have, they should have hit our ship." Hu Shijun said, "I will investigate and understand the more specific and detailed situations immediately."
"Well, this must be investigated clearly, it is very important." Liu Yong reminded him, thought for a while, and asked with concern: "Where are the crew members on the Flying, how are they?"
Life comes first.
If a crew member falls into the water and dies, it is definitely not a good thing. Liu Yong will probably be in a heavy mood and will find it difficult to face the crew member’s family.

Fortunately, the situation is OK.
Hu Shijun reported: "No crew members fell into the water for the time being. All crew members were on lifeboats and all wore life jackets. However, the storm in that area is relatively large, and it is still very dangerous if they float on the sea for a long time. The Flying Space sent a sos distress signal as soon as it was hit. In addition, I have ordered the ship closest to the Flying Space to pass with full power."
After listening to the report, Liu Yong felt a little relieved, but fortunately, no casualties have occurred in the crew.
"Follow this matter closely and take it as the company's biggest thing at the moment."
"Brother Yong, I know the right measure."
Hu Shijun left in a hurry.
Liu Yong sat on the boss's chair, thinking about it. Is this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?
It was so coincidental that the other party that hit the ship was Risheng Ocean Transportation Group.
Liu Yong thought a lot.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was something that Risheng Ocean Transportation Group deliberately planned and created the ship collision.
"Hmph, if it is really planned and created by them, they must pay ten times or a hundred times the price..."
After having this idea in his mind, in order to be prepared for any trouble, Liu Yong contacted the Overlord and ordered it to return to the waters near Huahai City, and give it a task at any time.
The Overlord is still wandering around Malacca. He probably got addicted to eating tropical fish and was a little overjoyed.
As soon as he received the order, the Overlord set off immediately without hesitation.
.........
On the sea.
The "Flying" not far away has almost sunk. The stern of the ship sinks first, and then the bow gradually rises high. Now, the bow is only a little exposed outside, and it will completely sink to the seabed nearly a thousand meters deep in less than a few minutes.
Duan Dongsheng looked at everything silently, feeling sad.
Before he could feel sad for the Feixiang, his first mate reminded: "Old Duan, the waves seem to be getting bigger and bigger, so this won't work."
Duan Dongsheng looked at the waves and looked worried. In addition to waiting for rescue, he could only remind everyone to hurry up and not fall into the sea.
Time passes by minute by minute.
The waves were getting bigger and bigger, and two lifeboats were looming in the waves. When it was very dangerous, a fishing boat was sailing at full speed in the distance.
The distance is getting closer.
Duan Dongsheng first saw the fishing boat and shouted loudly, "Look, everyone, the boat that saved us has arrived, and finally a boat has come."
Everyone on the lifeboat cheered.
“Our fishing boat.”
"Yes, make our fishing boats."
This is indeed a fishing boat in our country. It is estimated that it is fishing nearby and rushed over immediately after receiving a distress signal.
The fishermen on the fishing boat also discovered the two lifeboats, and they immediately began to save people. After some busyness, they were in danger. All 20 or 30 crew members boarded the fishing boat.
The first thing Duan Dongsheng did when he got on the boat was that he counted the number of people again, and then he picked up the satellite phone on the fishing boat to report his safety to the company.
.........
In the office.
Hu Shijun was reporting to Liu Yong again, "Brother Yong, luck, there was a fishing boat nearby, and all of us were rescued. We are now returning, and we will probably be able to return to Huahai City within two days."
Liu Yong breathed a sigh of relief, "Our crew members are fine. This is a blessing in disguise. It is best for people to be fine."
As for the loss of a 20,000-ton bulk cargo, then forget it.
Compared to human life, nothing seems to be important.
Hu Shijun seemed to be more distressed, "Brother Yong, a 20,000-ton bulk cargo ship, a ship full of coal, has a loss of at least 80 million."
Liu Yong gently patted his shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, we can earn back the money, as long as our crew members are fine."
"Yes." Hu Shijun nodded gently and could only accept it temporarily.
After thinking for a while, Liu Yong said, "I remember to call Duan Dongsheng, our captain of the 'Flying'. After he comes back, he will come to me and I want to ask him about his situation at that time."
"OK."
As a big ship collision occurred, the news media quickly reported some reports, and people from the two companies sat together to discuss how to deal with this matter.
Hu Shijun, on behalf of the Global Company, also sent a team led by Vice President Jiang Shunli, who sat together to discuss. At the beginning, the atmosphere was still good, but soon became tense.
Risheng proposed that the responsibility for the collision was mainly Global, and the "Flying" hit their ship, and the losses were mainly Global.
"Mr. Hu, our losses have been calculated. Our ship needs to be returned to the factory for repair. The cost is about 6 million. Our boss said, "You will compensate us 4 million and we will bear 2 million for ourselves. How about it."
What!
We also want to compensate you 4 million!
It's outrageous!
Global Company, including Hu Shijun, was extremely popular. This time I sat down to discuss the matter mainly because I claimed compensation from Risheng Group.
How could I know that the other party turned around and made a fuss.
In this way, there is no need to continue the negotiation, and it is impossible to reach an agreement.
The first negotiation was declared a failure.
......
All the people on the "Flying" arrived in Huahai City safely, and all the crew members were properly placed, and some even received psychological counseling.
According to Liu Yong's request, the captain Duan Dong was promoted to Liu Yong's office.
He looked a little nervous and cramped.
Liu Yong said calmly: "Captain Duan, don't be nervous. I just want to ask about the situation when the ship collided. Just tell me the situation in full."
