Cheng Qingyang has been familiar with him for a long time, so he naturally would not take Han Dong's words seriously, but he said with a smile, "This matter is indeed a bit difficult to deal with. If the superiors don't let go, there is no way for the Navy to do it. But we can't always be so straightforward in our work, and we must keep pace with the times! I think if we apply to the superiors to establish an undersea shipwreck archaeological research association, it should still be able to pass the approval."

Wang Mingyang nodded immediately and said that what Cheng Qingyang said was a very good idea. "Yes, you can turn around. Establishing such an archaeological research association can not only contribute to the country and society, but also not treat investors too badly. You are very good at it. Xiao Song, please prepare. Didn't you find two graduate students from the archaeology department to be helpers? This is also a very good opportunity for them."

There is a reason why Wang Mingyang and the others are so concerned about Song Yi's salvage on the undersea shipwreck. On the one hand, it is a good relationship with Song Yi. If Song Yi really salvages the undersea treasure, he can also conduct an auction through the auction company of Wang Bei. Wang Mingyang and Wang Bei have always had a very close relationship, so naturally, they will consider it for her.

Cheng Qingyang then said, "Brother Han, your navy can actually participate. Doesn't our army have a glorious tradition of doing things that are full of food and clothing on their own? I think doing such socially meaningful things is no worse than running a farm and shipping company, and you can make full use of resources."

Here, Wang Mingyang and Cheng Qingyang have turned the topic to the navy. It is an indisputable fact that the navy is not strong now. What they are discussing is that how to change such a fact is definitely not possible by relying solely on the little military expenditure provided by the country. Everything has to be done by oneself. The navy is also a big money-burning company, and the cost of purchasing warships and maintaining warships is too great. It is definitely not possible without making more money.

Wang Mingyang said that the navy should make rational use of the resources of the sea, and said that the border guards on the Nansha Islands plant crops on the island belong to this category. However, this is also a bit pediatric. If you have the economic strength and develop oil and natural gas in the South China Sea, the navy will be really rich.

Song Yi was a little puzzled before, why Wang Mingyang and the others could speak like this. But soon, he woke up and was confused for a moment and forgot about the situation.

At this time, the central government had not issued a clear document to ban the army from doing business. It would take until 1998 that the army had not allocated much money, and it basically had to rely on itself to raise funds. This was a helpless decision at that time and it also created a wonder at that time.

In the craze of the nationwide military busy doing business, the Navy naturally has many companies and has entered many fields. As for the Navy, basically all thirty-six industries have been involved in it. What are real estate, various farms, fisheries and other industries, and the shipping industry that can best leverage the navy's advantages.

Of course, when doing these businesses, many illegal and prohibited troops will also do things, such as the most popular smuggling, automobiles, oil and electronic products, etc., no one can control it anyway. For this matter, the troops often conflict with the customs. For example, the Yuanhua smuggling case excavated later is a typical example of this era of chaos.

Song Yi did not consider this before, so he decided to salvage shipwrecks in the waters of other countries. But in this situation, as long as they have a good relationship with the navy and make them turn a blind eye, even if they salvage shipwrecks in the domestic waters, it is not a problem. This unit is more terrible than anything else. At that time, they only need to say that the sea area is too wide and they can't control it.

But Song Yi was very calm and had seen too many cases of capsizing in his later generations, so he decided to do it according to the procedures. He didn't want to be caught and make a big fuss because of this matter, and then rub it to the end.

During the heated discussions of several people, Song Yi could see that Han Dong was still supportive of Cheng Qingyang's more roundabout strategy. In the environment where all the ** teams were doing business, the impact on the Navy would not be smaller than that of the Army. However, Han Dong also said that the number of warships on the troops was limited, and not many could be used to help with salvage, so Song Yi didn't mind.

Song Yi smiled and said, "We can do the job of salvageing the undersea shipwreck by ourselves. It is already hard enough for the navy to guard the border, so we can't do it anymore! But this matter still has to be approved before we can talk about it. I guess it will not be possible in the middle of this. Before this, I still plan to go to the foreign sea area to salvage. There are many companies that salvage shipwrecks in foreign sea areas. We have to hurry up. If they want to be salvaged, we will lose a lot. They dare not come over to salvage the domestic sea area, so it doesn't matter if they release it first."

Cheng Qingyang nodded immediately, "Xiao Song is saying this. I heard that foreign salvage companies are very professional, and they have been wandering around the South China Sea recently. Everyone knows what they want to do. For example, the shipwrecks in the South China Sea are basically owned by our country's merchants. Logically speaking, they are all wealth of our country. If Xiao Song is willing to invest to compete with them, it can recover a lot of losses for the country and make their arrogance no longer so arrogant."

"With Brother Han here, Xiao Song, you will be much safer when going to sea. If you need anything at sea, you can also seek help from Brother Han." Cheng Qingyang then directed the topic to today's guest Han Dong.

Wang Mingyang also said, "Yes, I heard that the sea is not so safe these days. The sea areas of our country are not bad. In addition to the salvage companies that compete with you, there are also pirates and other places. Xiao Song, you have to be vigilant. Be careful that others are playing tricks or encountering pirates, it will be a troublesome thing."

"If that's the case, I probably have to look for Brother Han's naval escort!" Song Yi said in a joking tone. Later, there was a warship escort for caravan ships. It was when Somali pirates were rampant.

Han Dong also expressed his opinion, "If I can help, I will try my best to help. There will be basically no problem in the domestic waters. However, if Xiao Song wants to go to the seas in Southeast Asia to salvage the wreck, he must be fully prepared first and then consider going to sea. There are many controversial and conflicts in this sea area of ​​the South China Sea. Our navy has limited strength and cannot take care of it so thoroughly."

Song Yi naturally accepted it humbly and said that he would do his preparations before going to sea. He really didn't put his hopes on the navy. It would be great if the navy could protect the South China Sea, let alone ask about things like saving people from the sea. Everything depends on himself.

Although Song Yi decided to salvage the wreck in the domestic sea after the procedure was completed, his decision did not affect the warm atmosphere at the dinner table. Wang Mingyang and Cheng Qingyang were also here to entertain Han Dong this time, and the topics discussed later were related to the Navy. They were used to the Navy's use of resources to engage in smuggling, and Song Yi didn't say anything, because the environment was like this.

But Song Yi himself knew very well that he had no special background, so it would be better to avoid touching such things. Even if he was dragged into the water, he had to do it perfectly and would not be caught by others.

During their heated discussion, Song Yi often interjected a few words, expressed his own opinions, and helped to come up with some ideas. In fact, in Song Yi's opinion, the Navy's business is now doing quite well, and it has been involved in all walks of life. They are doing what others dare to do or what they dare not do.

Song Yi himself must support the vigorous development of the navy. From a broad perspective, only when the navy is strong can we protect the borders of the motherland, especially the distant South China Sea. For Song Yi personally, the navy's strength is enhanced, even if his salvage ship is driven into the waters of other countries, it will be a deterrent force.

As for how much of the profits obtained by the navy's business are used to enhance the navy's strength, Song Yi is unknown, and he is unwilling to investigate it in depth. It is not his turn to worry about it.

The reason and purpose of Song Yi coming to meet Han Dong was also very simple. It would be no harm to have a relationship with the navy. He could not demand how noble others are for the country and the people. As long as they don’t come to cause trouble for his salvage work, it would be fine.

After a meal, the few people didn't eat much, but they all drank a lot of wine. However, the few people were very self-controlled and were just slightly drunk. Song Yi and Cheng Qingyang were both from Donghai, but Cheng Qingyang was not as generous as Song Yi. The meal was invited by Song Yi, and he was happy to pay the money and give it a little bit of the landlords.

Song Yi also asked about their afternoon and evening arrangements. Wang Mingyang said there was no arrangement and asked Song Yi, the landlord, to make the decision.

Cheng Qingyang also asked Song Yi at this time, "I heard you have set up a club? How are you doing now? When will you open business? You will have to notify us at that time."

Song Yi replied, "Baoqing is taking care of the Pinxiang Club. Now it is almost ready. When the school is on vacation, choose a good day to open. Don't think too much, you will definitely come to support you. Since there is no arrangement in the afternoon, why not go to the club to take a break, Pinxiang drink tea, and relax. Brother Han, what do you think?"

Han Dong replied with a smile, "Okay, I'm afraid that I, like a rough man, can't do those elegant things and destroy the elegant atmosphere of the club."

Song Yi said, "How could it be? The club is originally used to communicate with everyone. Snack and drink tea is just a way to relax and add some mood. Brother Han, you have to do me a favor this time to see what shortcomings are there. Don't worry about my face. While it is not open yet, there is still time to make adjustments and modifications. If you find that there are too many leaks after opening, it would be too embarrassing!"

"Look at what Xiao Song said, I believe you have done a pretty good job." Han Dong replied to him that this was not a compliment he said. Although he had only contacted Song Yi today, Han Dong had heard Wang Mingyang and the others talk about him a lot before. Combined with the scene of meeting today, Song Yi's calmness was not like a young man under twenty years old.

"What else can I say about such a good place? Let's go!" Wang Mingyang has always wanted to visit the Pinxiang Club, but he didn't have the time or opportunity. This time he was able to visit before the business was a very good thing for him, so he naturally would not have any objections.

Song Yi called Lin Baoqing and asked her to go to the Pinxiang Club first.

Lin Baoqing said yes, and said she would definitely arrive before them.

After leaving Donghai Hotel, a few people went directly to the parking place. Song Yi drove the Dafeng at home, and Cheng Qingyang's car was also Dafeng, but he had a military license plate. Seeing that Song Yi's license plate was just ordinary, Cheng Qingyang asked Song Yi if he wanted to get a military license plate to hang it.

"Thank you Brother Cheng for your concern!" Song Yi thanked him for his kindness, "But I don't drive this car very much, and I'm basically for the company to use it. It doesn't matter what license you have, so I won't bother Brother Cheng."

"Xiao Song, you are too polite!" Cheng Qingyang smiled. Since Song Yi said that, he would not say much. It is naturally very easy for Cheng Qingyang to get a military license plate. With Song Yi's current status, it is very easy to get a military license plate. If he doesn't want to be high-profile, others will not be able to force him.

Song Yi laughed and said, "Then I will lead the way, how can I arrange it? Brother Wang, are you taking my car or what?"

Wang Mingyang said yes, so he asked Han Dong to take Cheng Qingyang's car, and he got on Song Yi's car by himself. Then Song Yi drove in front, and Cheng Qingyang followed closely behind.

On the way, Wang Mingyang was looking for an opportunity to talk to Song Yi, "Han Dong and I have known each other a long time ago, and the relationship has always been good. The thing you want to do about salvage the undersea shipwreck is a little troublesome. Although Han Dong's navy can help not much, it is very necessary to establish a good relationship with him."

"Brother Wang has trouble!" Song Yi thanked him repeatedly.

"What are you and my brothers doing so politely? Think about it carefully. Things like the treasure under the sea are not very profitable. They have a lot of investments, so they don't care about this little benefit at all, and they don't have to make things difficult for this matter and the superiors. Only we care about these things. It is quite wise to choose to go to the seas of other countries first to salvage. It is better to wait for the relevant procedures to be approved before making a decision, so as not to make a difficult decision for Han Dong and the others." Wang Mingyang also said to Song Yi very sincerely.

"Thank you, Brother Wang! I want to salvage this undersea shipwreck, mainly to realize my childhood dream and go to the sea to explore treasures. It always feels very exciting." Song Yi continued, "I have contacted the shipping company in Hong Kong. The ship matter has been decided. Now I am considering whether to get a yacht. Hong Kong's East China Sea is leaning against the sea, and you can get a license and travel freely. At that time, you can pick up distinguished guests like Brother Wang to go to Hong Kong to play. If Brother Wang wants to go to see the shipwreck salvage in person, you can also drive there."

"You guys will enjoy it!" Wang Mingyang laughed, "But if you really buy a yacht, it's still pretty good! After all, this is a symbol of wealth and status. At that time, I can also borrow your yacht to entertain guests, go to magazines, etc. You know that in the entertainment industry, you have to maintain a high appearance rate. But don't worry, I will definitely not expose you that the yacht is yours."

"Even if it's just for Chinese entertainment, I have to take this yacht!" Song Yi said with a smile. He naturally knew the most about the exposure rate. However, Song Yi mentioned Wang Mingyang in many things in the entertainment industry. Song Yi also told him not to be polite. Even if he spoke, he decided in his heart to set up a yacht to play.

When it comes to the Chinese language company, Zhou Yu is naturally mentioned. She is in good condition now, but she has not officially joined the Chinese entertainment industry and is still in the Art Troupe of the East China Military Region. With the care of Song Yi and Cheng Qingyang, Zhou Yu doesn’t need to worry about anything. She just needs to learn more and practice more and sing good songs.

After the Chinese Entertainment built the recording studio in Donghai, Zhou Yu would start recording albums. It is estimated that the recording studio will be built within the next month. After the recording studio is built, the Chinese Entertainment records can be placed here for recording in the future. The investment in this recording studio is not small, and it cost Song Yi more than two million yuan.

The two of them talked about something along the way and soon arrived at the club.

The door that Pinxiang Club, which was usually locked, was slightly opened at this time, and it was obvious that Lin Baoqing was waiting for them inside.

Song Yi and his friends pushed the door and went in. Lin Baoqing was holding incense in his hand. Before she could light it, Song Yi informed her that it was too late and she had just arrived.

But this didn't matter. Cheng Qingyang and Lin Baoqing had dinner together, let alone Wang Mingyang, who was very familiar with Lin Baoqing, knew that she was Song Yi's real girlfriend. At this time, Wang Mingyang also introduced to her Navy Major Han Dong who was walking with her.

After saying hello, Lin Baoqing said that he would make tea for them first, but Wang Mingyang said that he would not need it for the time being, so he asked them to look around first.

Han Dong and Cheng Qingyang agreed with him, but in fact, their eyes were not enough since they entered the club.

This Pinxiang Club has consumed too much energy and time for Lin Baoqing. Whether it is material selection or style, it makes people feel bright. Especially the things in this club are all boutiques and are difficult to see in other places.

Antique mahogany furniture, noble and elegant Song Dynasty porcelain, extremely exquisite various fragrant tea sets, and treasured handwritings of major masters hanging on the walls.

Wang Mingyang had just visited two rooms and couldn't help but say to Song Yi, "I think your Pinxiang Club can be managed as a museum!"

Both Han Dong and Cheng Qingyang nodded, and their expressions were deeply agreed. Although they did not study much antique collections, their backgrounds were much better than ordinary people. They also had some collections at home, had certain vision and a higher vision.

"And this incense burner and this painting are all the collections you bought at the last auction. I said to Xiao Song, are you really planning to carry out the exhibition?" Wang Mingyang asked Song Yi with a smile. He had been in the cultural circle for so long and had quite some of the collections of antiques. He also recognized that a considerable number of them were bought by Song Yi and the others at the last auction.

Song Yi also replied with a smile, "At the last auction, I had to thank Brother Wang for help to take these collections. I thought, it was too wasteful to put them at home, and I am sorry for your kindness. I just put them on the club to let the members who join the club feel the charm of these collections. When others ask, I can also say that this was auctioned back at the auction held by Sister Wang's company."

"At the last auction, Xiao Song sold tens of millions of collections in one go. So many collections were placed in this Pinxiang Club, and it was no problem to take turns to exhibit them every day." Wang Mingyang said this to Cheng Qingyang and Han Dong, and this matter did not need to be kept secret from them. Moreover, Song Yi did this to support Wang Bei's auction company. If Wang Bei, regardless of his background or personal ability, he could definitely be considered a big sister in the circle.

"So that's it. I'll tell you where Xiao Song went to find so many good things." Cheng Qingyang only heard of this. This time he was admitted by Wang Mingyang in person, which deepened his understanding of Song Yi. This guy is so good at spending money.

"But there are quite a lot of things that Xiao Song collected from other places, such as this chair, which is made of good Hainan Huanghuali. There are not many Hainan Huanghuali left now, and in time, it will definitely appreciate exponentially. There is also this agarwood, Han Dong, you often run on the sea. You should have heard of the reputation of this type of spice. In ancient times, we exported porcelain, and imported all the most spices. When we salvaged the shipwreck under the sea, we might be able to salvage some spices. Not only the ships carrying porcelain abroad may encounter wind and waves, but the ships returning with a full load may also have something to do." Wang Mingyang began to show his insights.

Han Dong and Cheng Qingyang thought these things were extraordinary. After listening to Wang Mingyang's explanation, they became more and more aware of the preciousness of the things in the Pinxiang Club.

Song Yize said modestly, "It's not all that I collected. Baoqing has always been responsible for the club. Not only does she not care about public service, she also brought a lot of good things from her home. Their family has always been doing collections and communication, so there are not too many good things."

Wang Mingyang exclaimed, "Baoqing is such a good girl. Song Yi, just have fun secretly! The Pinxiang Club has people like her to manage and have such rich collection resources. It is hard not to be popular. I said Xiao Song, we have decided to join the Pinxiang Club."

Han Dong and Cheng Qingyang also said that they must come and bother them often. Not to mention anything else, just enjoying the exquisite artwork here is worth it.

"We can't ask for anything. Baoqing was a little worried before, and she should be relieved if you said Brother Wang!" Song Yi said with a smile.

Wang Mingyang said, "I think she should be worried about this, but she should limit the number of people in the club and raise the entry threshold, otherwise you will be busy."

"Yes, it's not a good thing if there are too many clubs. The quiet and elegant environment is more in line with the style of Pinxiang Club." Cheng Qingyang said.

Song Yi said he would carefully consider this issue. He himself didn't want everyone to join the club, so there must be thresholds and standards.

Han Dong reminded Song Yi to pay attention to safety measures, and said jokingly, "You have too many good things here, and even I feel itchy when I see them."

"What kind of thing Brother Han wants to like, just take it away." Song Yi said.

Han Dong naturally wouldn't want it, so Wang Mingyang asked Song Yi if he could take it away directly if he liked something. Song Yi smiled and said of course, it was OK, and Wang Mingyang was just joking. If he really asked him to take it, he would definitely not take it.

Cheng Qingyang said that he would come to see it often. He is in the East China Sea, so it is definitely much more convenient for him to come to Pinxiang Club than Han Dong and Wang Mingyang.

Song Yi warmly welcomed it and said, "The collections we collect, which are recognized by everyone, is what we are happiest about."

While laughing, Song Yi took a few people to visit the entire Pinxiang Club. Song Yi also asked them if they had any better suggestions.

Wang Mingyang was the first to say, "I think the number of good things you have here should be reduced by a part of it, otherwise, many people will probably forget their original intention of coming here. Since it is called Pinxiang Club, of course, it should focus on Pinxiang, right!"

Song Yi smiled and said that he could consider it. In fact, if everyone gets used to it, it's nothing.

Neither Cheng Qingyang nor Han Dong had any special suggestions. Cheng Qingyang also said, "This is the most stylish club I have ever seen. Just sit down and have a tea before talking about it!"

Wang Mingyang said yes, "That's why I said, "Sniff the fragrance and smell the tea, this is the theme of the club!"

While several people were wandering around the club to visit, Lin Baoqing had already prepared Pinxiang Wenming.

There were not so many rules at this time, and there was no way to take a bath or change clothes, but when Lin Baoqing poured them incense tea and prepared to burn incense, everyone kept quiet. Lin Baoqing prepared Pu'er tea for them. Now it is the time to promote it vigorously. If it became popular in the mainland, Song Yi would smile happier.

The tea ceremony is very particular, and several people have certain experience in this. In their opinion, Lin Baoqing's performance is perfect. Also, this is one of the club's special themes. How dare you show off without a few brushes?

The incense that Lin Baoqing wanted to demonstrate was that even the knowledgeable Wang Mingyang and others did not have much chance to see it. Song Yi also gave them a chance to get familiar with the warm-up first.

Just looking at Lin Baoqing's serious but extremely natural expression, Wang Mingyang, Cheng Qingyang, and Han Dong relaxed and prepared to enjoy this strange journey of fragrance culture.

When Lin Baoqing cut the fragrance with his bare hands, the faint fragrance of agarwood spread, making people feel refreshed.
To be continued...
