Buying Haite Shipyard was probably a crazy idea, Lorraine told himself.

Because this will be a big deal. The real big deal is not a small-profit gambling act like arms smuggling, but a purely commercial act, which may be worth tens of thousands or even 100,000 pounds.

Land, equipment, materials, design, talents, debts and subsequent input and output...

Lorraine couldn't estimate how much money he needed to prepare for this, or a lot of it was terrifying, or perhaps too little scary, everything needed to be tentatively known.

And the board of directors has to be opened first.

Because in business, buying a shipyard is a commercial activity of the General Chamber of Commerce, and if the resolution is passed, the cost should be borne by the Chamber of Commerce rather than Lorraine.

However, the Chamber of Commerce currently only has more than 10,000 pounds of undistributed dividends on the books, which means that the money for the merger is likely to be paid by Lorraine, and then paid back from future smuggling profits in installments or in one lump sum.

This is related to the interests of everyone, and it should be recognized by every seafarer.

Thinking of this, Lorraine took a deep breath.

"I visited the Haite Shipyard in all aspects today. This is a small-scale but extremely high-spec shipbuilding base. There is one office building, three independent water tanks and four composite docks. The dock includes two six ships. One level, one level four, and one level one."

This content is a more professional statement. Although Lorraine said it seriously, the number of seafarers who can really understand its gold content is really limited. Of course, Karen must be one of them.

The world’s first-rate shipmaker was trembling with excitement: "Captain, really is a first-class composite dock? Boston actually has a first-class dock? What is the use of the Americans to build this kind of thing? Even if you give them the drawings of the Victory. , Can they build a real first-class ship?"

Questions continuously.

Karen's bizarre performance caught Carmen's attention. As Lorraine's negotiating partner, she desperately needed to add unfamiliar knowledge.

"Karen, first-class dock... Is there anything special?"

"The special thing is not the shipyard itself, but its construction cost and function." Kren solemnly said, "In short, apart from the anchorages of the Royal Navy, there will be no more than five first-class private shipyards along the coast of England. It is not because the civil engineering technology is not up to standard, but because it is unnecessary."

"The first-class dock is used to build a first-class ship. From the length and width of the wet and dry docks to the height of the corresponding water tank, to supporting facilities, such as material circulation, processing, and storage, must be based on the needs of the first-class ship. ."

"There is also a steam engine. As a new thing, this kind of machinery can make the splicing of ship materials more accurate and stable, can greatly promote the speed of shipbuilding, and is also beneficial to the improvement of quality. It is an indispensable configuration for a first-class dock."

It is rare for Karen to enter a fanatical posture in front of his comrades.

"However, while advanced, the first-class dock is also synonymous with expensive and expensive. It is a tool, a huge tool. If there is no need for the construction and maintenance of the first-class or second-class ship, it is far less practical than the next-class dock, because the tools It shouldn’t be more expensive than the product."

"Because of this, most of the world’s first-class shipyards are owned by the royal family or the navy, and only they are the first and second-class giant ships that need to be maintained. The remaining few, basically all of the world’s top private shipyards, own Independently manufacture the top-notch warship technology, and have already accepted orders for first- and second-tier ships."

"In the shipbuilding industry, the first-class dock is a medal!"

Carmen was stunned to hear it, vaguely felt that it was wrong, vaguely... and felt that the experts said that professionalism should not be wrong.

"So, this Haite shipyard is the world's top shipyard? From equipment to technology?"

Lorraine coughed awkwardly.

"Hite's situation is a little bit special. He is for the expansion of the dock for the previous US naval revitalization plan. The technical team is not top-notch. At least he has not undertaken orders for warships above level 3. Um... and he is about to close down. "

Many faces are confused...

The passionate speech of Karen just now succeeded in setting up a model of the world's top shipyard in everyone's minds. Lorraine overthrew everything straightforwardly and pushed everything clean and thorough.

Karen grabbed his hair with a dreamy expression on his face.

"What kind of revitalization plan is this? Do the Americans also want to build a first-class ship?"

"They don't even have experience in building two-story gun bays, three-story..." Reading Network

"If they don't build a first-class ship, what kind of first-class dock do they want!"

"Well... New World's shipmakers have always had fantastic ideas, and they have also made a lot of innovations on naval issues, such as the 62-meter-long destroyer."

"62 meters? Destroyer? 40 doors?"

Lorraine nodded: "44 single-layer gallon ships with 24 pounds of gun firepower and a speed of 13 knots."

At this time, the banter on everyone's face disappeared.

It was still Karen, full of solemnity: "Captain, have they succeeded?"

"The design of the Galen ship is still on paper because of funding issues. But when funds were abundant, they tried to build an experimental ship, a 53-meter-long Bagh ship, with a maximum speed of 16 knots. And it has passed the sea trial."

The crew of Lorraine looked at each other in amazement.

In this era of reputation and skill, passing sea trials is the best recognition.

Every pen written on that thin report is bound to the integrity of the experimenter. As long as it is published data, there is little possibility of fraud.

This means that the Haite Shipyard is a creative and advanced nerve knife. He may not be suitable for the navy, but it is likely to be...the most suitable choice for pirates and merchants in the world.

When everyone knew this, Lorraine knew that the conditions were ripe.

He closed his eyes: "Gentlemen and ladies, this will be a big deal. Whether to acquire the Boston Haite Shipyard, I need your answer."

Seamen, look at me, I look at you, and finally selected Carmen, who is bound to participate in acquisition negotiations, to speak out.

Beautiful Carmen's eyes flowed: "Captain, I need to know your psychological price."

"The base price is 40,000 pounds, including all the infrastructure of the shipyard, the completed and unfinished hulls in the dock, the materials in the warehouse, and the service contract of the original operator and the design team for at least ten years."

"What about the premium?"

"The maximum cannot exceed 60,000 yuan." Lorraine pondered for a moment. "This shipyard is stuck in a huge economic problem, and it is impossible to make a profit in a short time. Since it is destined to carry debts ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ then at the beginning , We can’t pay too much."

"I found that you will become an excellent capitalist." Carmen laughed. "I see, I agree with the issue of acquiring the shipyard."

"Yes." Karen raised his hands.

"Yes." Bell and Yacharin shrugged indifferently.

"Abstain." This is Daniel and Wang Ye.

"Yes." Noya and Katerina looked at each other.

Only Henna and Pierce did not make a statement.

The bad boy who was entering puberty grinned open, showing his big beautiful white teeth.

"Brother, I suddenly remembered that the resolution of the board of directors is judged based on the number of shares?"

"But the ship is the whole, Pierce, with a grudge will only drag everyone to death. You have to remember that."

"That's something I need to consider only after I become the captain." Pierce smiled, "Yes, Mr. Chairman."

In the end, only Henna was left, because everyone knew that she never opposed Lorraine's decision, and this time it was no exception.

"Yes." She said naturally.
