Time flies and flies.

The expansion of the think tank ended on the fifth day, and the nearly 40,000 resumes made the board almost dazzled.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, no one can imagine how many talents there are here.

It can be said that most of these resumes were good enough to be part of a think tank before the Great Depression, but now they can only be admitted on the basis of merit.

Experienced and more experienced candidates for the same position.

The achievements made in the previous work, the salary, commissions, achievements, and reviews obtained have all become the admission conditions.

When everything was over, the leftover resumes were packed into five large pockets and stacked in the hall waiting to be claimed by the owner.

Such a resume is a lot of expense for a bankrupt person.

On the evening of the end of the recruitment, Li Zitao held a welcome dinner at the Ritz Hotel.

"Welcome to join the think tank, from today onwards, I hope you can reap the growth, honor, and friendship here...... And most importantly, Franklin. ”

To this day, Li Zitao is accustomed to giving speeches on stage, and he has long lost his original anxiety.

Not only because his experience and vision are much higher, but more importantly, he found that with the blessing of money and status, even if the big guy farts, some people will say that it is fragrant.

"Thank you, and it's time to party, get rid of the so-called demeanor and enjoy everything here. Li Zitao raised his glass and announced, and the shout of overturning the roof sounded.

"Hi Charlie. "As soon as he got off the stage, Jonathan came in.

Tomorrow morning, he can go to the United National Bank to go through the formalities and leave with 150 million US dollars, which makes him look radiant.

"There's no swimsuit party tonight. Li Zitao teased.

"If you want, maybe we can do it again, like chartering a cruise, how about the Britannia?"

"Isn't it a great idea that we can have 4,000 babes on board, and we are the only ones on board except for the crew, to untie all our fettered spirits and bask in the sun and the ocean?"

Seeing an impassioned Jonathan, Li Zitao had to say, 'Really good at playing.' ’

4,000 hot girls, just 3 men, he wondered if he was going to climb down when the boat docked.

As for Jonathan and Lawrence, perhaps they have gone to see God.

"That's a good idea. Li Zitao, who was thinking about it very outrageously just now, nodded in affirmation with a very approving expression.

“......”

"Maybe I should buy a shipping line and build my own luxury cruise ship. Li Zitao said with some interest.

"Hey guys, what are you talking about?" Lawrence, who was hugging the hot girls, leaned over.

Charlie said he wanted to buy a shipping company to build a luxury cruise ship specifically for him. Jonathan shook his head with a bitter face, they are all rich, and the gap is a bit big!

"Oh, cool, Charlie, you should buy that old lion, they're in a terrible financial situation, but the Olympic is still the most luxurious member of the ship. ”

"You mean the company that built the Titanic...... White Star?"

"Don't mention that damn disaster day, I'm talking about the Olympic. Lawrence said and looked at Jonathan, after all, his father sank with the ship.

"Sorry, Jonathan. Finding Lawrence's movements, Li Zitao reacted and said apologetically to Jonathan.

"Don't worry, friends, he never recognized me. Jonathan said calmly.

"Can we get the conversation back on the Olympic?" said Lawrence, grimacing.

"Of course, Shirahoshi's finances are terrible, why don't I know about this news?" asked Li Zitao.

"Man, that means your ears aren't sensitive enough. Lawrence teased, "Since ...... After that incident, Shirahoshi's business fell into a trough,

Although the stubborn people of Y did not want to see their former pride disappear, the government made a series of protections for them, but with the advent of the Great Depression. ”

Lawrence innocently spread his hands and made a 'you know' expression.

"Can Country Y agree to this deal?" asked Jonathan, on the key point.

These rogue states preach democracy and at the same time shout 'Protect the glory and glory that belongs to us,' and block all kinds of trade trusses.

White Star Shipping Company, whether it is the sunken Titanic or the current Olympic one, belongs to the pride of the people of Country Y.

These two luxury cruise ships are sisters, and the level of luxury is not up or down, but the style is different, and the Titanic, which is the sister, is more unlucky.

"Are there any other companies interested in it?" Li Zitao really had some ideas.

The Skunk Factory has been built, and now it is only necessary to wait for the seeds to grow into fruits, but there is no trace of luxury cruise ships and yachts, and it is nothing if you don't play yachts.

"Canard had been in contact with White Star, but their offer was too low and was rejected by White Star's board of directors. Lawrence incarnated as a little anchor who broke the news.

"How much do they want? How do they convince the government of country Y to agree to this deal?" Li Zitao said two difficulties in this matter.

"The Rockefeller Foundation can take the lead, of course, the cost of this is all yours, the price of the white star is 6 million US dollars, and the public relations fee is not less than this amount. ”

In other words, if he wants to win this shipping company, he has to pay at least 12 million.

"Just for a luxury cruise ship, 12 million US dollars?" Li Zitao said in surprise.

"And its routes and its customers, the reputation it has. Lawrence argued.

"Forget it! Its reputation only belongs to country Y, do you agree with its so-called glorious history?" Li Zitao retorted.

"Alright!" Lawrence shrugged awkwardly.

"Maybe we can set up a new shipyard. Since it aroused his interest, Li Zitao naturally would not just give up.

"Mississippi or New Mexico?" suggested Jonathan, noting that New York is good, but New York's ports are all over the place.

The Port of Los Angeles is a commercial free port and is not suitable for shipyard development, and it does not have a well-developed supporting and basic supplier.

Mississippi and New Mexico are home to a number of small shipyards that are barely surviving on orders from large corporations and spare parts for large shipyards.

"How's it going to be in the Gulf of Mexico? Lawrence clapped his hands and said.

"Jonathan, do you want to be together?" Li Zitao invited him.

Although the Astor family has declined, the legacy is still there, and I believe that after Jonathan takes power, he will be able to revive the family's glory.

As long as Jonathan can show his courage and means, he will recover quickly, and the Astor family will be able to return to the top with this.

This is the heritage of the illustrious family, and it takes several generations to accumulate it.

"I have a limited amount of money to put into it. Jonathan thought about it very seriously and didn't feel embarrassed.

After the money is in his hands, he has the final say on how to dispose of it, and he pays interest for it.

"It doesn't matter, the investment of a shipyard doesn't cost much, why don't we each invest 2 million to play?"

Since the Golden Arches began to exert force, Lawrence has never worried about money, and there are no dividends, but it is still okay to advance a little money, and Li Zitao has no opinion on this.

"Okay, let's play. Jonathan smiled and nodded.

"I'm going to come up with the coolest name...... How about Lee Astor C Industries?" Lawrence, that's adding their names to it.

"Lee C Astor, it's more agreeable. Jonathan joked.

In this way, it was decided that 33 percent of each person's shares would be held, and the remaining 1 percent would be reserved for management incentives. ”

After Li Zitao clapped the board, the corners of his mouth smiled lightly: "Now, our first order is here." ”

"I knew it. Lawrence and Jonathan looked at each other and smiled.

"I need the most luxurious palace on the sea, one that surpasses any cruise ship currently in service and planned to be built, with the highest luxury furnishings, the fastest speed, the largest tonnage, I just want the best. Li Zitao unceremoniously put forward a series of 'most' requirements.

"I seem to be a little drunk. Lawrence held his head and smiled bitterly.

It's really a simple 'order,' maybe in the next 10 years, they just need to worry about this one order.

"The John Brown shipyard in Scotland was shut down because of the Great Depression, and a large number of experienced workers and shipyard builders lost their jobs. ”

Jonathan provided an important piece of information that made Li Zitao's eyes light up instantly.

"Poaching, poaching them all, by the way, can that shipyard directly and fully acquire?" Since he became rich, Li Zitao has become more and more comfortable when he talks about 'acquisition'.

"That's a subsidiary of Canard, don't think about it. Lawrence said with a mysterious smile: "However, are you interested in owning the largest luxury cruise ship soon?"

"Tell me about it. "Li Zitao.

"The Brown shipyard that Jonathan was talking about just now, the Queen Mary they were building, but the rich man who placed the order has gone bankrupt. ”

If Jonathan hadn't mentioned the name, Lawrence would have forgotten the existence of the luxury cruise ship known as the century.

"With a total height of 43 meters, a length of 305 meters, a width of 44 meters, an estimated speed of 32 knots, and a displacement of 8 tons, it is a real giant, and I believe that it will be difficult for anyone to surpass it for many years. ”

"Price!"

"2.6 million US dollars, this price is enough to take it, and the name is a problem. "Queen Mary, that's named after the Queen of Country Y.

If it is bought by Li Zitao, I believe that this name will definitely not be used again.

"It's okay, I just need its ship, let the queen find another ship to name it!" Li Zitao didn't care about the queen.

It's not his wife, why should he name his ship after another woman, Li Zitao would rather change it to the Elk than call it Queen Mary.

"I'll take care of it. "Jonathan has taken this matter into account, and it's time to show his strength.

"Well, I hope to hear the good news soon. Li Zitao said noncommittally.
