In San Francisco, Li Cheng, who has become half of the lord of San Francisco, is looking at the equity transfer of a company in his hand with great interest.

United Steel Plant!

This is a big gift from Tim Gabry, although in the Republic of China, he has mastered the Hanzhiping Group, and the iron mines and coal mines in Ludong Qingzhou and Gunzhou are also developing rapidly, and steel mills are also being built.

Isn't that just getting started?

The United Steel Plant that Tim Gabri bought is a big gift!

The annual output of the entire bald eagle is about 30 million tons, and the Republic of China is only tens of thousands of tons...... The gap is not ordinarily large.

San Francisco United Iron and Steel Plant is an enterprise with an annual output of more than 200,000 tons of crude steel, which is larger than the steel output of the entire Republic of China last year.

After winning the United Iron and Steel Plant, the next target also fell in Li Cheng's eyes.

"Cape Hunter, United Steel Works and Bethlehem Shipyard, in the future, the two will join forces, and it will be a company that can take over some orders of Bald Eagle warships, and if you take Bethlehem, I will now have the foundation to build ships in my hands, even if it will leave some white technicians, it will be worth it. ”

Up to now, all the fleets in his hands have been bought, or given by oxen, Gauls, and coachmen as a sign of sincerity.

Even if a lot of relevant technical data is brought back from the Hong Kong comprehensive plane, the current industrial base of the Republic of China can be directly launched into the ship-building project, which is too floating, and it is difficult to realize it at all.

Buying, buying, buying, is the king.

Don't look at the current San Francisco United Steel Plant and Bethlehem Shipyard, which are just ordinary private enterprises, and they are not involved in the manufacture of warships, but in the later stage of World War I, the bald eagle entered the war, and the battleships here went to sea like dumplings.

There are these two families in this to help.

It's not that the two of them are important to Bald Eagle, but that Bald Eagle has many similar enterprises along the coast, port cities, etc.

At any time, the technology of building ships and freighters can be transformed into the manufacture of warships, battleships, destroyers, and so on.

I don't expect these two to be able to build super dreadnoughts, as long as they have the capital strength to build other battleships, and many Chinese workers sent by Li Cheng have also learned the technology......

On that basis, it can be developed into a super dreadnought, or even the largest battleship like the Yamato-class.

Thinking of this, he decided to go out in the car and go to the Bethlehem shipyard.

When Li Cheng's carriage arrived outside the shipyard, a few people also ran out of the shipyard to greet them, that is, a few ordinary white people, even if the first person saw Li Cheng's carriage, there were many carriages, and many pedestrians followed.

He still said to Li Cheng firmly, "It turned out that Boss Li was here, our factory director was not in the shipyard, he went to New York, and before leaving, he also told me that if there is someone from Boss Li to contact, let me tell you that this factory is not for sale." ”

"We are just small people who do things according to orders, and I hope Boss Li will not blame us. ”

Li Cheng lifted the curtain in surprise, "Mr. Bethlehem went to New York?"

The white young man who opened his mouth was stunned for a moment when he saw that Li Cheng didn't need a translator and could speak fluent English, and then nodded, "The factory director went to New York as early as when Your Excellency was still at sea." ”

He also said that if you want to buy the Bethlehem shipyard, you can go to New York and talk to him. ”

Li Cheng calmly stepped out of the carriage and said with a smile, "What's your name?"

The white youth was a little more restrained and apprehensive, "My name is Clint Phoenix, and I'm a welder at the Bethlehem shipyard. ”

There is no way not to be apprehensive and restrained, he is just an ordinary white technician, in San Francisco today, who can not know Lu Yunsheng's routine performance of buying, buying, killing, killing?

In the past two days, I heard that even the bigwigs in the California party are making deals with Li Cheng and helping Li Cheng buy various industrial properties.

Although Clint was before leaving, he was chosen by the director of the Bethlehem plant to be the messenger because of his courage and straight temper......

But in the face of Li Cheng, a cross-river raptor, Clint suddenly found that his courage was not great.

Li Cheng smiled, "Don't be nervous, what is the maximum size of a freighter or fishing boat that your shipyard can make?"

Clint Phoenix does not hide it, "The daily orders for ships are fishing boats with a displacement of hundreds or thousands of tons, and occasionally they receive business from 10,000-ton cargo ships and cruise ships, but at most more than 10,000 tons, and no matter how much technical reserves are insufficient." ”

The average super-dreadnought in this era has a full load displacement of just over 30,000 tons.

Tens of thousands of tons of steel freighter cruise ships, can be built here, so as long as there are appropriate drawings and corresponding technical guidance, you may be wasted to build the first one, and the second and third ships may be familiar.

Li Cheng asked again, "How much do you usually get paid?"

Clint scratched his head, "Can you have a knife a day? We are the types of work, just look at the technology, the stronger the technology, the more you earn, the top welders in the shipyard, when the business is good, you can earn a dozen or dozens of dollars a day." ”

What types of skilled jobs are available in shipyards?

Wolderers, cranes, painters, grinders, maintenance workers, electromechanical workers, fitters, etc., there are too many.

And each type of work does have great technical requirements, have you ever heard of the eighth-level fitter?

Li Cheng smiled, "How about doing it with me? I will give you three times the current salary, of course, three times is just the beginning, if you are willing to do more, do it hard, and are willing to sincerely teach us Chinese workers all kinds of skills, I can guarantee that all workers start with three times the monthly salary, up to ten times!"

"Whether it's three times or ten times depends on whether you're willing to do more. ”

Clint stared straight, he probably understood why his boss Bethlehem ran to New York in advance, and he must not want to sell the shipyard.

You can't find anyone, you can't just take it without paying, right? If that's the case, someone will speak for Bethlehem.

However, the monthly salary starts at three times and the maximum is ten times...... Dig up small workers like them??

In Clint's confusion, Li Cheng's smile became even brighter, "Since I can't find your boss, and I don't want to go so far to New York and waste time, then poach all the employees of the shipyard, including the management, let's start anew, buy all kinds of machines, and build a new shipyard next door?"

"United Steel has come into my hands, let's open a new factory, and we can also build ships. ”

Tim Gabriel and several heads of the Cliff Consortium, such people who took the initiative to come to San Francisco, are all partners who can cooperate.

Those who want Li Cheng to go to Los Angeles, or even to New York, waiting for him to visit and meet?

.

It's okay for him to go to Los Angeles, after all, it's very close, and he can still take a big team to New York?

Maybe the director of the Bethlehem factory thinks that people can avoid buying and buying without being in San Francisco, but Li Cheng will only tell him with his actions that you think too much.

As long as I have enough skilled workers and shipbuilding equipment and equipment, I want you to be a factory director to do wool, and I can arrange a random manager, maybe I can do a better job than you.
