Chapter 51: Dawan Fishery

Tang Yi got out of the car and only then learned about the extremely vicious incident of the commander being kidnapped a few days ago.

While feeling lingering fear, Tang Yi also immediately requested to increase security for Tang Wen.

The two best guards in the shipyard were all transferred to be Tang Wen's personal bodyguards, which could at least directly eliminate any close-range danger.

Tang Wen did not object to this; after all, his own life was still very precious.

As for what to do if he encounters danger at a long distance?

That's even simpler. In a critical moment, Halsey can directly lead the Hornet to set sail and launch a hearty air strike.

Of course, this is just a thought. The current society is not chaotic enough to wear bulletproof vests when going out; as long as you take more precautions, nothing will happen.

After discussing the security issue, Tang Wen asked about the plane.

"The airport side said it's very difficult."

Tang Yi gave the conclusion he got from going to Pingtan Airport yesterday in a straightforward manner:

"I asked the airport; there are actually no clear regulations on private aircraft yet. Individuals can take a pilot's license, but it is very complicated to operate a plane normally."

"And Pingtan Airport has a certain military cooperation and cannot be opened to us."

Yesterday, Tang Yi ran to Pingtan Airport and directly found the person in charge to express that he wanted to arrange a private plane, which made the airport confused.

The supervisor there had never seen such a thing either, so he took the opportunity to slack off and check the regulations, and then discovered step by step that it was not feasible.

Now the country's aviation market is not rich yet, and it has not broken away from military control.

A large number of airports across the country basically belong to dual military and civilian use, especially airports near the coast, where control is even stricter.

Regarding private ownership of planes and applying for formal procedures, there are no perfect laws yet, and responsibilities are not clear.

Private planes in the country still belong to a rare concept, and not many tycoons can operate their own planes; if they use them, they are operated under private airlines.

But this is even more complicated. Airlines need to accept regular audits and verify qualifications, which is also very complicated to operate, and the cost is extremely high.

Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands can't make any waves in the aviation market, and the costs are staggering just to think about.

And planes parked at the airport need to pay regular fees based on body size, number of passengers, noise level, area occupied, etc., and take-off also needs to apply for routes to air traffic control to avoid interfering with normal flights and scheduling; of course, this also has to be paid.

To sum up, not only are the procedures complicated, but the airport doesn't want to take this kind of business at all.

The supervisor of Pingtan Airport just encountered a novel thing and studied it with Tang Yi, and after finding it too complicated, he shook his head and refused.

By the way, he also kindly gifted Tang Yi a volume of extremely heavy aviation management safety regulations, hundreds of pages that were hard to hold in his hands.

"So this is not feasible?"

Tang Wen was a bit disappointed. Twenty years later, with economic development, he saw others setting up small private planes on short videos, and it wasn't that troublesome, and the costs weren't that exaggerated.

"Airport placement is basically not feasible, but if it's not an airport, maybe it's possible."

"What do you mean?"

Tang Yi continued to say that when the airport supervisor asked him what he wanted to set up the plane for, Tang Yi said it was for sightseeing.

After discovering that the airport couldn't operate it, the supervisor came up with an idea:

"You just want to fly small planes for fun, right? Actually, planes don't necessarily have to be operated by airports. If it's civilian... the most convenient should be a tourism company. I know many places where tourism companies can operate small planes."

"If you can cooperate with a certain scenic spot or tourist resort and operate in the name of sightseeing, while actually using it to fly yourself, it will be much easier, and the procedures will be much simpler."

"You can afford to play with private planes, so you probably don't care about this little money."

Tourism sightseeing?

Tang Wen didn't expect that his casual remark would become a breakthrough. Helicopters and small sightseeing planes in tourist areas are not rare, and he hadn't heard of them being too complicated.

The planes on the Hornet are not big either, and they are quite suitable for tourism sightseeing.

As for the tourist resort... I think Dawan Village is very suitable!

Close to the sea, beautiful scenery, simple humanities, many delicacies, and even complete facilities—Dawan Port was originally used to provide vacation supplies for warships, so vacationing is its main job.

And operating sightseeing planes is right at the doorstep, without having to go to the airport.

More importantly... engaging in a tourist area only requires dealing with local leaders, while going through the airport route requires facing the Air Force, which is easy to be harmonized.

"Chief Designer Tang Yi, you did a great job!"

"You didn't go to buy books, did you? How was the harvest this time?"

Tang Wen didn't skimp on praise, and then heard Tang Yi say:

"The books didn't cost money, and by the way, I helped the commander make a friend."

"Oh, is it that girl?"

Tang Wen thought to himself that he could now be considered an entrepreneur, and was considering how to seriously say to the female student, "Sorry, you are still young and don't understand love," but Tang Yi came with a big turn:

"It's her grandfather, a veteran sailor who is very happy that you like naval war history, and said he will definitely come to communicate with you when he has time."

"..."

"I'm not interested in naval war history; I'm just an unlucky electronic black slave. If I had another chance, I would definitely not play World of Warships again."

"Sorry, Commander, but this is good for you to enhance your fleet battle command ability."

Fleet command? Who learns this stuff?

Tang Wen had black lines on his face, but he could only swallow this dull loss.

He still had to read books when he had time, otherwise, it wouldn't be good to deceive the old man's feelings.

Besides handling business, Tang Yi bought three mobile phones for contact on this trip.

The ordinary mobile phones now are roughly similar to the feature phone era, but there are no colorful running lights and strange functions yet, and they can only make calls for the time being.

And the phone bills are huge; opening a card costs thousands.

To enhance the signal, the few Tang Yi bought also had telescopic antennas. In a remote place like Dawan Village, waving your hand could still get a little signal.

Tang Wen just operated it a few times and lost interest. It would take at least a few years to play small games on the phone. Now... damn, he should have asked Tang Yi to buy a few Xiaobawang consoles back.

Unable to play electronic games, Tang Wen felt itchy every time he saw the planes on the Hornet at the shipyard.

He was thinking about the possibility of using the name of tourism to play with planes, but Chen Chen Yonggui came to the door.

"Little Tang, congratulations on your shipyard signing a big order!"

Last night, the Village Chief knew that the order had landed. It was a big order of several million, and he was genuinely happy for Tang Wen.

However, this time he came for the fishery company discussed earlier:

"These past few days, I asked most of the villagers, and everyone is very interested in this fishery company. Now more than eighty households have clearly expressed their intention to join, and they are willing to invest money."

"The rest of them also seem tempted. It shouldn't be a problem to hold a big meeting to get the company up and running."

"If you nod, I'll go to the township to declare it first." ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
