"It’s just a nice title to have."
Sister Zhu didn’t feel much about whether it was a Binjiang Branch or a Linghai Team, because there were too many branches now, even the Fishery Station was hanging a signboard of the Jiangnan Fishery Administration Team Binjiang Branch.
While inviting two old neighbors for tea, she asked with a smile, "Where’s Xiao Yu?"
Zhang Junyan said helplessly, "As I told you last time, the staffing is tight now, I could only vie for a staff position for Xiao Yu."
"Xiao Yu has already got a civil service position now."
"Why would I lie to you? After he was awarded third-level merit, Yang Zhengguo solved the staffing issue for him."
Sister Zhu took a small sip of tea and looked at Zhang Junyan with a smile, "You are originally a civil service unit, your officers are originally civil service staffed, and you are also forming a firefighting team. You could totally figure something out to let Xiao Yu wear the uniform and become a real cop."
Industry police is different from local police; it’s easier to join the force than it is with the local police.
Zhang Junyan turned to look at Wang Wenhong and laughed, "Now that Xiao Yu already has a position, it will be easier to handle. I’ll go to the Port Authority first this afternoon. As long as the Port Authority has no objections, it will be easy to sort things out with the Changhang Police Bureau."
Although the Changhang Bureau is no longer subordinate to the Port Authority, it still respects the Port Authority’s opinion in all matters like before.
For the Port Authority, one more person at the Changhang Bureau means one more salary to pay.
For the far-off Changhang Police Bureau in Hanwu, one more cop in the Binjiang Branch means more strength for the Changhang Police, so, of course, they won’t object.
Thinking of this, Wang Wenhong sighed, "I didn’t expect Director Yang to sort out Xiao Yu’s civil service position before his transfer; this is indeed a huge help for Xiao Yu."
"Political Commissioner Wang, Yang Zhengguo is your former leader. Now that he’s transferred back to the city, aren’t you going to invite him for a meal to welcome him?"
"Definitely, but he probably doesn’t have the time these days."
"I almost forgot. Salted Fish has a little treasury, right? Yang Zhengguo actually knew about it from the start but pretended he didn’t. Those couple hundred thousand must be taken care of, so in this matter, our Port Supervision Bureau also owes Yang a favor. We’ve got to invite him for a meal too, to welcome him."
Having money is great, anything can be taken care of.
Zhang Junyan was quite envious of the Port Supervision Bureau, and remembering what Salted Fish mentioned before, he quickly said, "Director Zhu, regarding that couple hundred thousand, Salted Fish plans to first address the pressing issue of our outdated firefighting protective gear."
Sister Zhu smiled and said, "I know, he seems to be intending to purchase those advanced firefighting suits from abroad."
Zhang Junyan helplessly said, "We can’t get them domestically; we need to import them, and that requires foreign currency. Our Water Police Station doesn’t have the means to get foreign currency, which makes it tough to handle; we can only trouble you with this."
Port Supervision Bureau has access to foreign currency, for example, providing pilotage for foreign ships, foreign shipowners would pay pilotage fees through a Ship Agency.
Sister Zhu weighed the options for a moment and then said thoughtfully, "We can help with this matter, but if that couple hundred thousand is used for importing firefighting suits, the shortage of funds for future ship repairs will be even greater. You may not know this, but Director Tang faced a lot of pressure to buy that boat from the Linghai Police Bureau. If it needs several hundreds of thousands in major repairs after just two or three years of use, how is he supposed to explain that to the superiors?"
Before Zhang Junyan could speak, Wang Wenhong confidently said, "Director Zhu, that boat will be used by all three of our divisions; we can’t always rely on your funding. In the future, for the ship repair expenses, our Water Police Station and Changhang Bureau together will find a way to cover it."
"That’s also what Director Peng said."
"He sure changed his mind quickly."
"That’s ’First Post of the Yangtze River’ we’re talking about. Once we buy the boat and Salted Fish gets transferred to Director Zhang’s section, we plan to hang the previously removed Binjiang Water Police Brigade Linghai Team signboard again, and assign two policemen to report to Salted Fish’s command and manage the public security of both Linghai and Dongqi Waters."
One more cop on the Dunship means one more joint enforcement strength for the Port Supervision Bureau.
Sister Zhu agreed with a smile, "No problem, I will report to Director Tang in a bit; he shouldn’t have any objections."
