Schroeder showed a picture of a small steamer sitting quietly in the corner of the harbor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This ship looks only a dozen meters long, with a simple shape and a wooden plank, full of the atmosphere of the times. Compared to the surrounding ships, a large chimney has been erected in the middle of the ship, so that although it is not large, it has the feeling of standing out from the crowd.

Looking at the photo, Wang Bo asked, "Is this a steamship?" ”

Schroeder smiled and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Mayor, it's the Wave Treading White Horse, a steam engine ship that used to serve in the Dover Tourism Group. You know, Dover Tours went bankrupt at the beginning of this year, their assets were auctioned off by the bank, and the ship is in our hands. ”

Wang Bo understood why the four of them said that this boat was suitable for Sunset Town, because this boat was originally for tourism companies, and the performance was very good, if it was allowed to come to Lake Hawea, it would be a ready-made tourism project.

There are only a few yachts, kayaks and small wooden boats on Lake Hawea, and this mode of steam engine boat tourism is still blank.

"After I came to Sunset Town, I saw that your town is developing quickly and very well, but it seems to lack a bit of historical background, I think it would be better if there was a White Horse Treading Waves." Schroeder said.

Steam engine ships do have a lot of history, and in 1763 Joffrey built the world's first steamship, the Poroscafi, but after 30 minutes of sailing, the ship's steam boiler exploded.

It was James Watt who really solved the problem of the marine steam engine, who invented the twin-cylinder steam engine in 1765. In 1768, he cooperated with Matthew Bolton, the owner of the Birmingham Marine Engine Factory in England, to develop a special purpose steam engine for ship propulsion, which was the Bolton-Watt engine commonly used on the world's early steam engine ships.

In this way, although the first steam-engine ship did not perform well, it contained great potential, and it was not until the genius Watt invented the steam engine that the industrial revolution broke out on ships.

By the 19th century, all oceans were dominated by steam-powered ships, and since then, sailing has been part of the ship's museum or sporting sport.

However, due to the large size, small power and low efficiency of the steam engine, the steam engine ship was also gradually eliminated, and the commonly used power plants of modern ships are the internal combustion engine and steam turbine.

Seeing this steam engine steamer, Wang Bo became interested and asked, "Is there no problem with the sailing ability and safety of this ship?" ”

Schroeder nodded: "Absolutely, in fact, this was first filmed by a friend's company of mine, and I thought of this after I watched the Sunset band singing the night before, so I bought it on behalf of our company." ”

"The album of "Singing Roar" was so rudimentary, especially the music video, we needed to remake it, and there is no doubt that this machine ship is very compatible with the main body of the album."

Wang Bo nodded and said, "You want Ryan to shoot them on the ship, right?" ”

"Yes."

"But it wouldn't be a direct gift to them, would it? How much does this ship cost? At least millions, right? Wang Bo asked suspiciously.

Schroeder smiled and said, "No, it doesn't need to be so expensive to buy a new ship, not to mention that this is the collateral for auction assets, my friend took it for 120,000 yuan, and then I bought it for 125,000 yuan." ”

"So cheap?" Wang Bo said in surprise, "Then does your friend's company still have this kind of ship?" ”

Schroeder shrugged and said, "I guess, there were still four boats parked there when I bought them, and I don't think he would sell them in a day or two." ”

Lao Wang suddenly became interested: "That's good, why don't you help me contact your friend, I can take over these ships, if he is interested in selling." ”

Schroeder was stunned and said, "Mr. Mayor, are you serious?" ”

Of course, Lao Wang is serious, he thinks that this ship is a good tourism project, which can further develop the resources of Lake Hawea.

Schroeder made a phone call and quickly replied to him: "The remaining four ships, if you are willing to pack and buy, then give him a total of 600,000 yuan." ”

The price was acceptable, and negotiable, but he had to see the condition and condition of the ships, at least they had to be able to sail to be worth buying.

The following two talked about the steam engine ship, Wang Bo wanted to know more exact information, and the four of them looked at the two people who were talking fiercely there, and finally one of them couldn't help but shout: "It's not such a leader, we are the protagonists!" ”

Wang Bo scratched his head abruptly: "Yes, yes, yes, but isn't your matter solved?" Congratulations on joining ACT Records, Sunset will always be your hometown, and the town will open its doors to you whenever you want to return. ”

"We'll come back often, it's most comfortable to stay in town, we're going to make a lot of money, and we're going to leave us a ...... in the newly built villa," Ryan said.

"Wrong, it's four." Tutu corrected, "Four sets next to each other. ”

Wang Bo waved his hand and said with a smile: "No problem, four villas, the internal price will be sold to you." ”

The sales of villas are really good, this has not yet been sold and is only being promoted, and there are already more than a dozen sets of bookings out.

Lancaster also booked a villa before leaving, and even gave a deposit.

Wang Bo entertained Schroder and other ACT record employees for a big meal, and let them taste the delicious ingredients produced at Sunset Ranch.

Schroeder wiped the oil on the corner of his mouth and exclaimed: "No wonder the Sunset Beef and Sunset Sheep are so expensive, this is really worth the money, I decided, my children will eat Sunset Beef in the future." ”

The four of Ryan didn't leave Sunset Town so quickly, and there were still many things that needed to be handed over, after all, they had been managing the Flaming Mountain Bar all along, and Wang Bo had to find someone to hand over the work with them.

Schroeder got the answer he wanted, so he went back to Wellington first, and he could go back quickly, because Wang Bo carried him by helicopter.

Under Schroeder's guidance, the helicopter landed in the open space of Wellington Harbour, where a burly, red-haired man was waiting for them, the owner of the steamer, Rodt Pleton.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Rodet led them to a corner of the harbor, where small boats were docked.

Five steam engine wheels docked together, about the same size, but different in style and color, white, bronze, brown and black.

It's one thing to look at the photos and another thing when you look at them up close, and when Wang Bo saw the ships, he found some details that couldn't be found in the photos. (To be continued.) )
