Chapter 468: Forced Marriage
Patriarch Lance was really a little stunned after listening to Wan Qiyang's words!
"I can't believe what Mr. just said, these are a bit incredible, I can really improve in these aspects, it is simply rampant and domineering, and no one dares to stop it!" Patriarch Lance was still a little afraid to speak.
"That's right! What I want is this kind of tyranny, but because it is a merchant ship, I will not develop weapons for the time being, what I need is that the engineers in our shipyard must be our own people, and we must sign a lifetime contract to give them the highest salary and treatment. Whoever betrays is a dead end. Can Patriarch Lance do this? Wan Qiyang is not thinking about whether the Douglas family will not agree to it at all, but is considering how many shares are appropriate.
"There is no problem with this at all, but the profit of the shipyard can only be calculated according to the production of ships after they are sold, minus all costs! If Mr. can meet the conditions just mentioned, even if Your Excellency holds the majority of the shares, I have no problem, even if the Douglas family only counts profits and dividends, that year is not a small amount! "The Lance patriarch is very calculating, and he can get an approximate profit after preliminary consideration.
"Okay, since it's so decided, let's draw up a contract, think it's appropriate for us to eat at a table as a family, I put forward two points here, what I just said can be written into my conditions, if you can meet it, you will be able to hold fifty percent of the shares, your forty percent of the shares, even if I can't meet the contract, I don't want to take all the profits, and after I meet the conditions I said, I won't take the money, all of them will be converted into ships, for example, a ship is 20,000 pounds, In the future, if I have a bonus of 20,000 pounds, I will just give me the boat. In addition, there are some patents that need to be applied for, which I have to make my own profits, and the patriarch has no opinion, right? Wan Qiyang has basically included all the benefits he can get when he talks about this.
"There is no problem at all, but despite this, our Douglas family still has a practical advantage, thank you very much Sir for helping our family during such a time, Sir will be our family's forever partner, forever friend." Patriarch Lance stepped forward and hugged Wan Qiyang tightly. He understood that now their family was truly standing, if Wan Qiyang didn't have 100% ability, how could he agree to such harsh conditions? None of the legends he himself told were fantastical for their family or even for all the shipbuilding industries in the world, and if these ships were really built, there would be no orders.
The Douglas family also has their own special berth in the port of London, and their family's shipyard is not far from the port, because it is now a wooden ship, so there is not much pollution yet, and it is difficult to say in the future, because a lot of steel and electrification are needed. Wan Qiyang immediately drafted the contract, just looking at such a strict contract content and novel contract format, the rights and obligations of both parties were clearly distinguished, and it was very easy to distinguish at a glance.
Until the afternoon, the Douglas family and a dozen people left, and at the same time took away 50,000 pounds of gold coins, and also took away half of the contract, Jack looked at Wan Qiyang, who is now using money like water, is also a little moved, the treasure that was robbed from the pirates before, which also includes a large number of jewelry, so Wan Qiyang asked the Oliver family to open a jewelry company to sell, but I didn't expect the business to be surprisingly good, Wan Qiyang only chose a small part to give to his relatives and friends, and the rest were all sold for gold coins. Anyway, hundreds of thousands of pounds of money are all handled by Jack, and Wan Qiyang just needs to remember the numbers.
Now everything Wan Qianyang does is crazy about using money, of course, Jack doesn't know how much the main harvest will be after Wan Qianyang does these things, anyway, he can't imagine what Wan Qianyang said before, but he has now formed a kind of blind trust, as long as it is from Wan Qianyang's mouth, it will definitely become a reality, so Wan Qianyang's more than a year to make the Douglas family's shipyard the world's largest shipyard will definitely become a reality.
After everyone left, Wan Qiyang asked Vivian, "Vivian, how did you arrange for the Oliver family to move to Cambridge?" ”
"What arrangement? Am I still here? Vivian was a little afraid that Wan Qiyang would let her go back to live in her family, so she was also afraid that Wan Qiyang would say such a thing at the moment.
"I'm not asking you to go back, I'm just asking you to arrange, what else is trustworthy in the family? We're short of manpower right now! You see that several factories in the port of London are about to go into production, do you want me to manage it myself? Wan Qiyang thought that he was short of manpower everywhere, so he was still a little anxious, so he asked Vivian this question.
Vivien was relieved to hear this question, and she carefully thought about who could be used in the family. After thinking about it for a long time, she could only shake her head, because she had never been exposed to these things before, her father also died when he was about ten years old, and the family let his uncle manage it, and his uncle also had a son, but he was still young, so the family business generally did not involve her little brother.
Wan Qiyang looked at Vivian and shook his head, so he had to think of his own way!
However, since Andy's help, Wan Qiyang can be relieved for the time being, and Andy will probably have news to report in the next few days.
"Edison, I guess the family's move to Cambridge has something to do with you, right? In this way, our manor and the family's manor are very close, and it won't take long to take a carriage back and forth. Let's both of us," Vivien said, and suddenly felt her face burn.
Wan Qianyang looked at Vivian's ruddy face, and stammered incompletely, obviously embarrassed, and the next moment Wan Qianyang also instantly understood what Vivian meant, he straightened Vivian's face, looked into her eyes and asked solemnly: "Vivian, is this your own meaning or your family's meaning?" Tell me the truth! ”
The reason why Wan Qiyang asked this was also to see what the Oliver family meant, whether it was the importance of him or something else!
Vivian was asked so seriously by Wan Qianyang, and looked at her so seriously, even if she was embarrassed, she had nowhere to escape Wan Qianyang's gaze, anyway, she also felt that she was also confessing the love in her heart openly, and there was nothing that she could not say to her beloved, so she also looked directly at Wan Qianyang and said softly: "Edison, I want to say it myself, you yourself are busy with your career all day long, sometimes you don't see anyone for a day or two, I can't see the emptiness in your heart." I didn't feel like this before, I don't know how to do it, but now I really want to stay by your side all the time, and many big families and nobles have been in contact with you recently, and their family will definitely want to marry you, I'm afraid"
"Afraid that I will be snatched away by others? Vivian, you are too unconfident, a beauty like you is really the standard of beauty in my heart, even if there are other more beautiful than you come to me, I don't have that spare time, I will tell you solemnly now, I will return to China in the future, are you willing to go back with me? Of course, there are occasional returns. Anyway, you're still underage, let alone an adult, and I don't mean until you're at least eighteen years old. If you want to get married, come back to my hometown with me, OK?" Wan Qiyang also said her words bluntly, if she didn't accept it, forget it, anyway, her reputation here has been opened, and now their family is rushing to find herself, Vivian, this girl is still a pure and capable girl, but she was only an expedient measure at the time, if there is really a relationship, both parties are willing to talk about marriage.
"Oh! Then I will listen to you for everything, I will go wherever you go, and I will accompany you when you go back to your hometown to get married! ”
