However, Wang Nabin's open-mouthed mouth seems to have played a little role, after all, the contribution of Huasheng Textile during this period of time is indeed great.

Because, today's Australian calico is synonymous with hard currency in the South Seas market, which means that whether you are a consumer or a merchant, whether you need cloth now or not, you are willing to buy some and keep it on hand, just like holding cash.

Therefore, Huasheng's calico is very popular in the Nanyang area, and there is almost no lag in the operation of funds in business---- so the trading of Huasheng Textile is in a pivotal position in alleviating the tension of the capital chain of the "North Fund".

At this time, Vice President Cheng Fangfang stood up and responded, we are actually very clear about the situation in Huasheng, and we originally wanted to tilt you, especially among the dozens of girls who have reached the age of eighteen and have been educated for two years, half of them are ready to give you, as for the plan to increase the internship class, it is still in the pipeline, please don't worry......

Because the discussion was a bit long, the meeting was adjourned halfway, and when the meeting restarted, I received a telegram from Zixia Island, which quickly turned the page on this topic.

The telegram on Zixia Island was about the Kengkou Power Station.

Li Junming said that the energy construction of Zixia Island is now zero, although the island has abundant rainfall and rivers, but there is almost no gap, so the cost of hydropower is too high - you can't build a high dam to store water for power generation, right? But there are coal mines on the island, and they are easy to mine – the open-pit coal mine in the upper reaches of the Heishui River is a good place to build a pithead thermal power plant.

Once Zixia Island has this power plant, it can go to the sugar factory and other factories, so Li Junming strongly asked Boss Luo in the telegram to build one or two sets of thermal power plant equipment.

Obviously, no one in the venue at this moment was embarrassed to refute Li Junming's request, so the proposal passed smoothly.

It's just that Luo Zhengyi said that we have a very heavy task this year, and we have been struggling to support the construction of the railway on Zixia Island, and it is estimated that we will be able to schedule the manufacturing schedule after the New Year.

After hearing this, everyone nodded and praised, Brother Li is really a good day, Brother Li's suggestion is for the long-term plan of Zixia Island, by the way, Brother Li is very hard to be the governor of Zixia Island, and there are a lot of things there, why don't you let Brother Li come back and report to us face-to-face? Anyway, there are still Wei Dongli and Li Dewei over there, and there are a few Brother Ke, so it shouldn't delay work, right?

At this time, the people around echoed one after another, and some people complained that Nima and the others had a good life, with three wives and four concubines, how could they bear to let Brother Li work hard outside, after all, Brother Li is our legal elite, and in the future, Brother Li will still be a federal justice of Australia, don't let it go......

So the regular meeting ended in this not embarrassing and embarrassing atmosphere, Lao Ba announced that tomorrow and Sunday, no one is allowed to leave, and the whole day will be held to discuss the topic, so everyone agreed to disperse in a hurry......

The discussion on the second day was more lively than the night before, because the topic touched on everyone, including the G-spot of the friends of the three ships and three places: shipbuilding.

In the conference room on the fifth floor, after Lao Ba announced the continuation of the meeting, Wang Xue immediately made a keynote speech.

Wang Xue said: As far as the current situation is concerned, as far as everyone knows, we say that we are building ships, but rather that we are building ships, and the steel of more than 3,000 tons of ships in the cave is ready-made, and all kinds of equipment and weapons are also ready-made, and the assembled ones are 100 percent replicas of the Pride.

Well, although all the theoretical data is the same as the Pride, there may be some differences in performance, although its power system, communication system and weapon system are old-world, just because we don't have welding conditions, and you don't expect the industrial sector to develop qualified welding machines and welding rods in the near future, so the sister ships of the Pride class are all riveted, just like the photos of the early ironclad ships of the old world that you have seen, with rows of rivets all over the body.

Wang Xue said that it is precisely this main reason that has led to an increase in the dead weight of the Pride class sister ships, a decrease in payload and an increase in power load, with the result that the speed and maneuverability of the ship are slightly lower than that of the Pride.

This is not my theoretical speculation, and recently, a lot of sea trial data of the Iwusa has been sent back, which completely confirms this.

Rest assured, however, the other features of the Pride sister ships, including weapon performance, are no different from those of the Pride.

Regarding the progress of the grouping, Wang Xue assured that before the end of the year---- at the latest before the Spring Festival, another Pride sister ship will be launched.

This progress is slightly delayed than expected, the main reason is that I need to obtain the trial data of the Iwusaki, so as to be able to correct the assembly process of the slipway, please have a little patience, after all, shipbuilding is not more than others, quality is the top priority, otherwise it will be fatal.

Of course, the good news is that the trial data sent back by the Yi Wu is very important and very instructive, with these data, coupled with the experience gained through the practice of the slipway, the assembly speed of the third ship will be greatly improved, and I expect that the next six Pride sister ships will be assembled from next year to the first half of the next year, and by then we will have a large fleet of eight hybrid sailboats with a displacement of 1,000 tons......

Before Wang Xue finished speaking, there was warm applause in the venue.

After the applause fell, Wang Xue continued to talk eloquently:

"In addition, a few days ago, many people in the family were discussing the design and construction of the new ship we developed independently after the assembly of the Pride class sister ship, and I would like to explain it here:

The new vessel will be made of metal materials provided by Federal Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and Federal Hengtong Nonferrous Metallurgical Co., Ltd.

Here, as a member of the board of directors of the "Northbound Fund", I would like to take a look at the following-"

Wang Xue said and looked at Yu Hewei, who was sitting at the other end of the conference table, where he was sitting with his eyes closed.

The latter was obviously just pretending to sleep, but his ears were very smart, and the latter opened his eyes and saw that Wang Gong had come over, so he just smiled silently and waved his hand, indicating that he asked the other party to continue.

"The board of directors of our "North Going Fund" has approved the application for the establishment of these two companies last night, and it is expected to inject the first R&D funds before the end of the year, and allocate 150,000 taels of silver working capital to these two companies."

At this time, Holley Quanzhen Hai An Hengtong hurriedly stood up, saluted everyone around, and said kind words such as asking for your support, and the venue immediately responded with applause.

Wang Xue continued:

"Obviously, because the conditions and environment for the development of metal materials are not comparable to those of the old world, our shipbuilding business still has a long way to go.

However, we could not wait, and under the existing conditions, I designed a hybrid sailboat that was lighter than the Pride class armed merchant boats, and of course, this sailboat was a transition, and my goal was to strive to develop and manufacture an iron hybrid sailing yacht with a displacement and performance indicators comparable to that of the Pride class in five to six years from now, with the cooperation of major companies. ”

Papapapapa, the venue once again burst into warm applause.

At this time, someone in the venue discussed:

"I think that it would be good if the performance indicators of our ships exceeded those of the wooden sailing boats of this era, and there was no need to pursue overly advanced indicators......

"I think it's not impossible to build a ship even from wood, but of course, weapons, communications, and power systems have an advantage over this era."

"Yes, yes, just like the three small wooden boats we changed a while ago, it feels like it's enough to make them bigger......"

At this time, Wang Xue had already sat back in her seat and looked around, obviously she was planning to listen to everyone's opinions.

So Boss Luo stood up, clapped his hands, let everyone's attention focus on himself, and then said loudly:

"Everyone! Regarding the weapons system of the new ship, I would like to report to you here. ”

When everyone heard Boss Luo mention the weapon system, they all immediately shut up and listened quietly.
