Young men and officers on Xisha island like online shopping

The young men and officers on Xisha Island like to buy the Internet, and the address of the money is the eldest.

Chanlo the appearance of the old sailor: the skin is dark, the arm is stout, the smoke does not leave the hand.

He is Hainan Qionghai Humen a skipper. In Port, most people know him, because there are one or two times a month, he is the captain of the supply of supplies to the Paracel Islands, he has only two or three captain.

He brought vegetables, fruits, or live chickens, ducks, geese and pigs to the men and soldiers of the deep-sea islands. Most of the time, he had to carry a few more bags of soil and help to send letters and parcels.

The official supply vessels of Xisha usually only carry some staple foods, such as fresh water, rice and flour. The King's fishing boat enriched the island's supplies. In particular, he also took into account the numerous communications inconvenient small reef island. His fishing boat became an important complement to the official supply corridor in the Paracel Islands.

Offshore Supplies

In the lake gate, fishing for generations. At the age of 18, Chanlo followed his father to sea and became a fisherman. His son now follows him to sea.

The boss, nearly 50 years old, has a boat with hundreds of tonnes--a medium size and a crew of 10 Port.

Every time fishing, money boss will go to thousands of nautical miles far from the Xisha, the sand, Dongsha, Nansha and other waters. Their departure is one of Hainan island's closest ports to the Spratly Islands, like their forefathers, where fishermen prefer to dive in the shallow waters of many atolls in the South China Sea, and with enough technical experience they will be able to harvest a lot of fish, shrimp, crabs and sea cucumbers, Port.

Chanlo said, like the atoll around Huangyan Island, the area is very large, rich fish resources, water depth is also suitable, so Port fishermen's ancestors will go to Huangyan Island Sea operations. A few days ago, from Huangyan Island returned fishermen, and then returned to Huangyan Island fishing.

April 24, Money eldest brother also from the Xisha Islands fishing back to Port. On land for 10 days he will sail again. For the sake of risk, the money boss did not want to go to Huangyan Island, he was in a few years ago by foreign armed vessels, detained for short periods.

In addition, he often went to the Xisha Sea area from May to August, so the next time, he decided to go fishing in Nansha. Halfway through, however, he would stop at the Paracel Islands and unload supplies to soldiers and men on the island.

The Paracel Islands are far from Hainan Island, where the fishing boats are to be opened overnight. The island is short of freshwater food, all on land supply. Qiongzhou 3rd is the only official supply of the Xisha Islands, every half a month, it will bring fresh water and flour, rice and other staple food.

The replenishment of Qiongzhou No. 3rd was unsatisfactory. It mainly supplies Yongxingdao-the largest island in Xisha Islands, but also the military and political center of the three islands of Xisha, Nansha and central sand, with troops, government buildings, banks, meteorological stations, post offices, hospitals, shops and airports.

But the smaller reefs outside Yongxingdao, especially on the other side of the Yongle Islands, although there are garrison, but the material supply difference is obvious.

The island is a large island in the Yongle Islands, a former military officer in the islands, "Island Lord," the veterans told reporters, on the island, the officers and soldiers were prohibited fishing on the island Sea, can only buy fish to passers-by. If they can't wait for the fishermen, they have to eat canned food, and almost all kinds of cans are eaten by them.

In 1998, the island owner could not eat the canned food, let the money boss from the land to send him some fresh food. From then on, the boss's fishing boat also played the role of supplying the ship, although it had a load of only dozens of tonnes.

What the Chanlo brought to these reefs is absolutely alive. Originally, he went out to sea with ice for storing aquatic products, which could be used to refrigerate vegetables and fruits. He will also carry live chickens, ducks, geese on the island. "A pound of cabbage, I shipped to the island will only be more expensive than Hainan Island a few cents, not more than 5 cents." Sometimes it's even cheaper because I buy a lot from a fixed person for a long time. The money boss said.

Sometimes, the island needs to build a barracks of bricks, cement, steel, and even the construction of these barracks workers, also by the money of the boss of the fishing boat to transport.

Every supply and transportation, there is no need for soil. Chanlo said, Xisha Islands are all sand, water poured down are seeping away, plant, in order to improve the soil, to keep the island from Hainan Island with mud. The money-boss's supplies often include soil and saplings, and he only collects costs.

Transit

If the soldiers on the Paracel Islands are to send letters and parcels to the outside world, they often have to send them to the Yongxingdao Post Office by irregular Force vessels, and the Yongxingdao will take the letters to Hainan Island to deliver them when he leaves for 3rd. The reverse is also a struggle.

The appearance of money boss changed the situation to a large extent, since 1998, he has also become the Paracel Islands numerous small reef island officers and soldiers of the obligation to receive members and send a member, just like these small reef island and the outside receiving and sending things to the transit station.

Money eldest brother's boat passing some Sisha, the island's officers and soldiers on the letter, package directly let money eldest brother, and so he catch fish back to Hainan again delivery. Generally speaking, the money boss will receive 100 yuan as a delivery fee, more retreat less fill, the obligation to help deliver.

On the contrary, if the officers and soldiers of the family to send letters to the island, it is often first sent to the money eldest brother in Qionghai's address, and then by his sea on the island transfer. Compared to the usual channels of communication logistics, money boss to the middle of the twists and pains are skipped, faster and more secure.

Now there are many young people on Xisha Island, they like shopping online. They use the island's computer to order, buy some clothes, electronic digital products, people who are afraid of tanning also often buy sunscreen and other cosmetics. The receipt address of these orders is the residence of the money boss. Money boss always have to check out first, then go to sea when the island, take back the payment for the pad.

Because there are no banks outside the Yongxingdao, remittances are almost impossible if officers and soldiers have something urgent to do with their families. Many times, these officers and soldiers directly call the money eldest brother, let him first help remittance solution urgent, wait for money eldest brother on the island to return money.

Some of the recruits will also turn to the money to help first Xianchan bail out, for these he unfamiliar recruits, as long as the company leader to call money boss to do the guarantee, money boss will also help, but when the money is also necessary to guarantee the leadership.

Long-term burthen help, make money eldest brother and the Xisha Islands many officers and soldiers establish mutual trust relationship. Some of the soldiers to send money to the family will put the bank card in the envelope, entrusted him to Hainan transfer. Chanlo said that, because of fear that if the bank card and password are all lost, he only take the bank card, and so he arrived at Hainan Island ATM before, and then temporary phone call to the password to transfer.

There are only two or three supply boats like Chanlo, and their common feature is that they are popular and familiar with the island's officers and soldiers. This good relationship with the troops stationed on the island is an extremely important resource for fishermen. Fishing in the sea, always encounter storms, encounter this kind of weather, fishing boats to get small island harbor to wind. However, these reefs are controlled by the army, and only fishing vessels allowed by soldiers on the island can enter Hong Kong to wind down.

Money boss years of relationship management effect is obvious. These years, his fishing place is mainly in the Xisha Sea. There, "any island reef can be docked, we are relatively familiar." ”

Chanlo Frankly, he was concerned about the good relations between the maintenance and the troops. Although he is now a skipper, he can stay on the shore and let the boys go to sea. But because every time the island docked and the troops to communicate, he feared that others can not handle the relationship well. (should "money eldest brother" anonymous request, this article does not have the fact name. ）
