After Yang Jing and Ge Ge arrived, David Patel, the head of the private polar scientific research organization, and Andre milakenov, the captain of the blue whale, immediately appeared at the port and met with Yang Jing, a big financier.

In western developed capitalist countries, there are many private polar scientific research organizations such as Ingram. The situation in these developed capitalist countries is different from that in China, where scientific research activities in the Antarctic and Arctic are often the power of the state. However, in these developed countries, most of the scientific research activities are private. These private scientific research organizations make profits by accepting the entrustment of government departments, colleges and universities and even other private organizations. Of course, while completing the entrustment of others, they can also carry out their own scientific research tasks and sell some results to some interested people or organizations.

In the last century, polar scientific research was still a very unpopular industry, and the competition was not so fierce. However, as people pay more and more attention to the two poles, the competition in this industry is becoming more and more fierce. Especially after entering the new century, many private polar scientific research organizations have sprung up, which makes the competition in this industry enter an extremely cruel realm.

Just like Ingram, a private polar scientific research organization based in North America, its main service objects are colleges and universities in North America and relevant government departments. Unfortunately, the competitiveness of this private polar scientific research organization, which has a history of more than 20 years, has become weaker and weaker after more and more later generations appear in this industry with a large amount of funds.

Therefore, Ingram's partners spent US $140 million to build the Graham blue whale more than a decade ago, trying to get rid of the dilemma by relying on the most advanced polar research ship at that time.

When the blue whale was launched, it really caused a sensation in the industry. Ingram also got a lot of orders with the advanced blue whale. However, it is a pity that whether the polar scientific research can produce results depends not only on the advanced polar scientific research ships, but also on the ability of scientific researchers.

Obviously, Ingram is no better than other top polar scientific research organizations in this regard. On the contrary, they are still weak in some aspects.

In this way, although Ingram has added an extremely advanced blue whale, the actual business has not increased much, and Ingram is more and more difficult because of the huge maintenance funds of the blue whale. If the major shareholder behind Ingram was not a rich man and could gnash his teeth and insist, perhaps the well-known polar scientific research organization would break up completely.

Last winter, Ingram received a commission from the U.S. Department of energy to conduct a detailed investigation of several mineral divisions in Antarctica. The Ministry of energy only gave a budget of $3.58 million, but the mission lasted up to four months, spanning almost the whole warm season of Antarctica.

The task is not complicated, but with such a long time span, the money given is only so little. Ingram took the list at most, that is, he can guarantee not to lose money. But even so, Ingram could only pick up the list with his nose.

There's no way. You don't answer. Some people are lining up behind to answer this list.

Fortunately, before the mission, Ingram received another entrustment to transport a batch of supplies for the American polar research station myodo station on the coast of the Ross Ice Shelf.

This extra task made the trip to Antarctica more or less profitable, but the sky was not as good as people. Just when the blue whale had just delivered supplies to the mcordo station and was ready to start the mineral resources survey, the blue whale unfortunately encountered a sudden cold current.

The strong cold current rapidly expanded and thickened the sea ice on the Ross Ice Shelf, and finally trapped the blue whale in the Ross Ice Shelf. The most serious thing is that when the blue whale tried to break the ice and leave the Ross Sea area, the starboard hull was damaged. Although the hull was not broken, the plan to break the ice again was completely ruined.

Moreover, the blue whale trapped in the Ross Ice Shelf had to send a distress signal. A German Antarctic scientific research ship finally saved the blue whale in 12 days.

Although rescued, the blue whale was stranded for more than 20 days in the Ross Sea, and its hull was damaged and needed to return to Hong Kong for repair. At this point, even the tasks assigned by the U.S. Department of energy can not be.

No way, after the approval of the U.S. Department of energy, Ingram had to transfer the task to another polar research ship from the United States. Then the blue whale dragged the damaged hull back to Boston at a very slow speed.

This trip to Antarctica not only failed to complete the task entrusted by the U.S. Department of energy, but also injured the blue whale's hull. Of course, the Germans didn't save you in vain. Ingram paid the Germans up to $1.45 million to save the blue whale from the Ross Ice Shelf; As for the failure to complete the entrustment of the Ministry of energy, Ingram also needs to pay liquidated damages of up to US $800000 to the Ministry of energy

It can be said that last year's trip to Antarctica was a disaster. In terms of an old Chinese saying, it is to lose your wife and lose your soldiers!

Ingram, who had expected to earn a sum of money, posted a total of more than $4 million in the cost of that trip to the South Pole. With the cost of repairing the ship later included, Ingram lost nearly $5 million.

This is undoubtedly worse for Ingram, who is already struggling.

What makes Ingram's chief even more desperate is that because of the accident of the blue whale in the Antarctic and the failure to complete the task entrusted by the U.S. Department of energy, Ingram did not receive any entrusted task to the Arctic, whether government departments or other institutions, They are all worried that the blue whale failed to complete the task entrusted by the U.S. Department of energy. No one wants to entrust his commission to an organization that has not completed the scientific research task.

In this way, Ingram immediately faced with an extremely severe situation - if there is no commission, Ingram is likely to close down!

But at this time, David Patel, the head of Ingram, learned that a Chinese from San Francisco was looking for a polar research ship that could go to the Arctic sea, and said that money was not a problem.

In this case, David Patel naturally contacted lindane immediately. As the rumor goes, the Chinese American young man from San Francisco doesn't care about money at all. Even if David Patel offered a price of $240000 a week, the Chinese American young man directly paid a deposit of $1.2 million for five weeks after seeing the blue whale.

Although the money is not much, it is undoubtedly a life-saving money for Ingram, who is about to be out of the pot. In particular, the Chinese young man surnamed Lin personally promised that once the ship goes to sea, a mere five weeks will certainly not be enough. There is a possibility of eight or even twelve weeks, but how long it can take depends on the specific situation of the ship.

Although it was not a entrusted task, it was just a simple lease of the blue whale, David Patel immediately came to meet Yang Jing with the new captain of the blue whale after learning that Lin Dan's behind the scenes boss appeared.

"Hello, Mr. Yang, I'm David Patel, the person in charge of Ingram, and this is Andre milakinov, the captain of the blue whale. When you go to sea, Andre will be responsible for you all the time." although David Patel is a white man of nearly 50, he still lowered his posture when facing Yang Jing, the gold owner.

He can't keep a low profile. Although the two in front of him are both Chinese, when David Patel saw the Patek Philippe platinum world time watch in Yang Jing's left hand, he immediately realized that the two Chinese young people in front of him are definitely rich.

Millions of dollars of watches are so casually worn on the wrist. To be honest, even if David Patel claims to be a knowledgeable person, he has never seen such a luxurious guy. The watch on his wrist alone is enough to pay the rent of the blue whale for more than half a year.

"Hello, Mr Patel, just call me Albert." Yang Jing still feels good about the polite middle-aged man. "Mr. Patel, the main purpose of leasing your blue whale this time is to take my fiancee to the Arctic sea. My fiancee and I have just been engaged, and my fiancee is very eager to go to the Arctic, so we'll go to the Arctic together this time." there's no need to keep some information confidential.

"Wow, Albert, congratulations on having such a beautiful fiancee." Patel timely sent his compliment, "Please rest assured to take our blue whale. Although blue whale has been launched for ten years, it is still one of the top polar research ships in the world. The facilities on board ensure that you and your fiancee can enjoy the next trip to the Arctic. At the same time, blue whale also has a good captain. Although our Mr. Andre is only a young man He is the captain of the blue whale, but Andre has very rich experience in navigation. When the blue whale was launched, he served as the chief engineer of the blue whale, and later became the chief mate of the blue whale. Until this year, Mr. Andre became the helmsman of the blue whale. It is no exaggeration to say that no one is more familiar with the blue whale than Andre. "

Andre saluted and said in English with a strong Russian accent, "welcome to the blue whale. Andre milakinov will serve you wholeheartedly."

PS: bow and thank "you love me" and "Qingyi" for their 500 rewards.
