Located at the mouth of the Mersey River, on the edge of the Port of Liverpool, Canard Shipping is an important shipyard centre in the UK, with a manufactory and large shipyards on the shore.

Chen Kangjie and they drove along the beautiful Mersey River to the Cannard Shipping Company building, the company's CEO Mel and Fan Wenxuan were already waiting here with a ticket, Mel is not very old, he is in his forties, he is very tall, his figure is slightly blessed, the beard on his face is trimmed with personality, his head is short and spirited, with his well-cut black suit, he still looks very handsome, before Chen Kangjie and they came, he has been chatting with Fan Wenxuan, always with a faint smile on his face, the style of the British gentleman is well grasped by him, of course, it is undeniable that in the face of an oriental beauty like Fan Wenxuan, as long as there is a little cultivation, people will look very gentlemanly.

Chen Kangjie and his entourage were crowded with them, and they used two tourist buses and three sedans, which were used by Chen Kangjie and his entourage, and belonged to the high-grade bulletproof series.

As soon as Chen Kangjie's car door was opened by Liu Deyi, Mel took the lead to catch up.

"Long, it's a pleasure to meet you, you are warmly welcome to visit our company, I really didn't expect to be able to meet you here", Mel took the lead in extending his right hand to Chen Kangjie, the smile on his face was enthusiastic, not pretentious at all.

The reason why Mel is so enthusiastic and attached importance to Chen Kangjie is that Chen Kangjie is very famous and is a celebrity all over the world, this is his first visit to the United Kingdom, and the purpose of coming to the UK is to go to Canard Shipping Company, Mel is of course happy, and Chen Kangjie's music and movies he likes more, it is rare that Mel is also a track and field enthusiast, and he will take the way of running every morning to exercise, and more importantly, a few days ago, Miami told Mel that he should not only cooperate with Chen Kangjie's work, but also provide good hospitality。

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Mel, I'm sorry for the trouble, we may have to stay for a while in the future", Chen Kangjie held Mel's hand and said politely.

"Don't bother, you can come, it's the glory of our Canard company, the whole company welcomes you very much, most of our company are your fans, and being able to work with you is a very happy thing, I'm afraid that everyone is too enthusiastic, but it will affect you, hehe", Mel let go of Chen Kangjie's hand, turned around and stood next to Chen Kangjie, looking at the office building and said with a smile.

Chen Kangjie looked up, there were people looking at him excitedly in every window of the small office building of Canard Company, and through the glass, Chen Kangjie could clearly see their lips moving, but unfortunately he couldn't hear what they were shouting, but he could imagine it, it must be some words of welcome and an expression of excitement.

Chen Kangjie raised his right hand reservedly and waved at them elegantly, as a greeting to his fans.

"My colleagues were going to come down there to welcome you, but I didn't approve it because it might affect your work, and I ask that you keep it as confidential as possible," Mel explained.

"Very good, very thoughtful, you bothered", Chen Kangjie put down his hand and said.

After a brief greeting with Mel, several company executives he brought with him immediately had a brief handshake with Chen Kangjie, because of the request for people, and people are so warm and friendly, Chen Kangjie has to go through the motions, these executives who shook hands with Chen Kangjie are all reserved with a little excitement, basically welcome and compliment as soon as they open their mouths, it can be seen that Chen Kangjie's reputation and influence in the UK is still very large.

"Mr. Kenmarscha11, a professor of history at the University of Liverpool and an expert on the Titanic, has never given up on this research, and I invited him to help you, he has participated in three expeditions about the Titanic", Mel explained in particular at the end of the introduction.

In fact, when he walked in front of Ken Marshall, Chen Kangjie was full of doubts, because this person was different from the previous executives, not only did he not wear a suit, but also his head was messy, with a beard, a pair of deep round-framed glasses framed on the bridge of his nose, a very fat body, and a down jacket over a wide cashmere sweater.

It turned out to be a university professor, so it's no wonder.

"Professor Marshall, thank you, I am so happy to have your help", holding Marshall's hand, Chen Kangjie said sincerely.

"Long, it should be me thank you, I have always felt that the Titanic is a great ship, I have always dreamed that I can replicate it, you can make it into a movie, I am very happy, willing to provide some help within my ability", Marshall doesn't seem to like to laugh very much, facing Chen Kangjie, his smile makes people feel very stiff.

"It's a lot of work, and I can't thank you enough for your help."

"Long, in fact, there are a lot of records left by the Titanic, and there are a lot of Belfast, Ireland, which was built at the Harland and Wolf shipyards there, especially some original design drawings", as soon as they met, Marshall proposed the construction to Chen Kangjie.

"Mr. Marshall, we have copied the information over there yesterday, some of them cannot be copied, we have also taken pictures, it should help you, you don't need to go over there anymore, Belfast is a bit unpeaceful now, this is a decision I made after communicating with Miss Fan", Mel interjected.

Mel really did a good job, Fan Wenxuan seemed to be attentive, Chen Kangjie and Fan Wenxuan had no vulgarity, but he still gave them a grateful glance.

After greeting at the door, Chen Kangjie waved to the crowd of onlookers upstairs, and walked towards the office building, accompanied by Mel and Fan Wenxuan, where they had to hold a meeting in the conference room to assign the details of the cooperation and the focus of the work of each group.

The Canard company specially sent four people to cooperate with Chen Kangjie and their work throughout the process, one is the company's archivist, two design department ship designers, and the other is the company's administrative manager, Mel is usually busy with work, he can't accompany Chen Kangjie all the time, besides, I don't know how long Chen Kangjie will stay in Liverpool, plus Ken Marshall's words, five people from the British side have joined Chen Kangjie's research team.

All the people were divided into six groups according to their different priorities, and at the request of Chen Kangjie, they would cooperate with the British side to form detailed drawings and text descriptions of the aspects they were responsible for, and they would later copy these things into real objects.

This project is just like Chen Kangjie said, it is very heavy, and what needs to be paid special attention to is the details, this ship is too big, the net weight is more than 20,000 tons, the key is luxury, Chen Kangjie They have to reflect the luxury and delicacy of this ship from the details in order to meet the requirements.

When the task was assigned, a group of people including Chen Kangjie began to devote themselves to intense work, they worked in three places, the archives of the Kanard company, the dock museum of the Kanard company and a large conference room of the company, all the team members have to work in these three places for ten hours every day, lunch except for the first day of Mel's treat, the rest of the time is a working meal, after leaving the Kanard company in the evening, the teams return to the hotel to discuss and summarize, and archive the results obtained every day, these are just the beginning, more difficult is still to come, at that time to turn these research results into physical objects。

I didn't think much of it when I watched the movie before, but after Chen Kangjie integrated into the research, he realized that the workload in it was greater than he imagined.

For example, the grand staircase of the first class cabin that Chen Kangjie saw in the movie, located between the first and second chimneys, the grand staircase with oak paneling and gilded balustrades extends to the E deck, and the top is a glass dome supported by wrought iron brackets, so that natural light spills over the grand staircase, and the wall at the top of the staircase is inlaid with a bell, and the fables symbolizing nobility and honor are carved on both sides of the bell。

Marshall is worthy of being an expert in the study of the Titanic, he has a lot of layout information, what he lacks is refinement, in order to cooperate with Chen Kangjie and them, Marshall moved a whole box of materials from his home and office, and there are many drawings drawn by his own hands.

In order to objectively study and demonstrate what the carved work on the fireplace of the first-class bulkhead was, the team of four people looked through a lot of information, and finally confirmed that it was "The Hunting Goddess of Versailles", and there was still a lot of work to be done to reproduce this.

In the past, Chen Kangjie did not know much about the history and culture of Europe, especially European artworks, but after the study of the Titanic, he has been greatly improved in this aspect, no way, the Titanic at that time was too luxurious, the entire first class is full of artworks, even the second class is the third class luxury Cheng dù has passed the first class of most cruise ships at that time, those chandeliers, tableware, chairs, murals, carpets, etc., are all imitating the Palace of Versailles, the first-class lounge is simply a copy of the salon of the Petit Trianon in Paris, for this reason, Chen Kangjie plans to leave Liverpool again, send some people to the Palace of Versailles in Paris to study, to ensure that the things made can have the original taste of the French court.

Just when Chen Kangjie was immersed in the exquisite Titanic, Liu Deyi suddenly told Chen Kangjie a piece of news, that is, news came from Ouyang Zhenhua's side, and they had inquired about Hassan Diro's residence in Sweden.

For the sake of the overall situation, Chen Kangjie had to stop what he was doing and go to Sweden to meet the exile.
