"Ferdinand, you've traveled the world by boat, haven't you?" Seeing that Ferdinand still couldn't accept his point of view, Gao Hongsheng had no choice but to continue to persuade in another way.

"Hmmm! Yes. ”

"Have you ever seen a ship replenish coal?"

"Of course."

"When the ship is replenished with coal, should the ship's military band be lined up on deck to boost everyone's morale?"

"Yes, when the ships are replenished with coal, the members of the military band must line up on the deck to play music to boost the morale of the people. Gao, you must know that it is a very dirty and hard work for the battleship to replenish coal, especially when replenishing at sea, the bags of coal have to be hoisted from another ship with ropes and pulleys, and then everyone has to pass the bags to the coal bunker, and put the coal bags in the yard, which is really very hard work, and what others can do is to play some music on the deck for everyone to boost everyone's morale. (The members of the marching band at that time consisted mainly of officers)

"So what is the detailed process of adding coal to the boiler, don't tell me that you haven't even been to the boiler room, that's not a competent captain."

"Of course I am a competent captain, adding coal to the boiler is also a very hard job, they have to transport the coal bags in the coal bunker to the boiler room to store coal in the trolley, and then throw the coal in the coal bag into the boiler with a spade, that is a technical job, without a year or two of training ordinary people can not complete this work at all, each spade coal must be sent into different places in the boiler in order, so that the coal is evenly distributed in the boiler, only in this way can we ensure the full combustion of coal, and the flame is also very uniform, This reduces coking of coal burning in the boiler. A good stoker is the basic guarantee to ensure the fast sailing of a battleship. What do you think? I'm a competent captain. ”

Ferdinand somewhat proudly explained the work in the boiler room of the battleship, which was dirty, hot, hard but indeed the heart of a battleship, and of course he wanted to know it in detail.

"So what is the approximate time for the battleship to start, from the time the boiler starts to heat up to the time it can drive the battleship out of the dock."

"If there is storage of steam, it will take about half an hour from receiving the order to sailing, and if there is no storage of steam, it will generally take at least two to three hours from igniting the boiler to having enough steam to drive the battleship, and it will take at least three hours to reach the maximum speed."

"Do you know how much time an oil-fired boiler takes? Well! From the start of heating to the drive of the battleship from the dock. ”

"I don't know, high. Did you know? Ferdinand had never even seen an oil-fired boiler, so he couldn't answer the question.

"Twenty to thirty minutes at most, there is no need to store steam, only the boiler needs to be ignited, and after twenty minutes there is enough steam power to make the battleship leave the dock, and after thirty minutes the battleship can sail on the sea at maximum speed."

"Is it just that much time? That's fast enough. Ferdinand just made a very curious look, this kind of look confused Gao Hongsheng, isn't it important that the speed of the battleship leaving the port?

Ferdinand looked at Ferdinand suspiciously, and continued: "The battleship that uses the oil-fired boiler does not need the crew to lift the coal to the ship with a crane, nor does it require them to line up in two rows on the deck to transport the coal into the coal bunker, they need to connect a large pipe to replenish fuel to the oil port of the battleship, and the continuous flow of fuel will be pumped into the oil tank along the pipeline, and the replenishment at sea does not need to be so troublesome, only need to connect the oil pipeline to the battleship, and the fuel on the supply ship will pour into the oil bunker along the pipeline. This fuel is precisely injected into the combustion chamber of the oil-fired boiler through guò pipes inside the battleship, and the blazing flames will not produce a single bit of soot, they will provide a higher combustion value than coal, and the battleship can travel longer distances with the same volume of fuel.

With oil-fired boilers, they can quickly increase the temperature of the combustion chamber, so that the boiler can quickly produce a large amount of steam, and the battleship can increase from cruising speed to combat speed more quickly, what you should know. Ferdinand. ”

Ferdinand's eyes lit up at this time and said: "Yes, if the oil-fired boiler can provide more steam than the coal-fired boiler, then the number of boilers in the battleship can be reduced, and the reduced tonnage can allow the battleship to be equipped with thicker armor or replace it with larger caliber guns, if not the number of boilers is reduced, then more power will be provided."

A warship of the same tonnage will sail faster and more agile than a battleship with a coal-fired boiler, but what about the oil-fired boiler, I haven't seen the real thing.

Gao, although you have sued me about the superiority of these new things, they are still on the drawings, and you can't let me use the drawings to convince those stubborn old people. ”

Seeing is believing, hearing is false.

Gao Hongsheng's things are good, but those things are some design drawings and even some are just some design directions, and no physical object has appeared in front of everyone, just relying on these illusory things, it is impossible to convince those naval diehards.

"Looks like I'm in a bit of a hurry, okay. Ferdinand, you let them get my boat out first. ”

Gao Hongsheng planned to let them get the boat out first and let those people see it

"Gao, those boats are easy to produce, as soon as your new products come out, we can produce them all quickly, but have you considered their transportation?"

"Transportation, what's so difficult about this, it's shipped by ship."

"Gao, I'd better build a small shipyard in the Qing Kingdom, it doesn't need to be big, you just need to be able to assemble the ship parts we provide to you, a finished boat is very troublesome and expensive to transport, and it will even exceed the shipbuilding price of this small ship, but if you have a small shipyard, it's much simpler to just transport those parts, and the cost can be reduced a lot, and you don't need to invest much, just a few small slipways, dozens of workers, and a little bit of equipment, What do you think? ”

What's going on? How did he go around and around to get to the point that he needed to build a small shipyard, Gao Hongsheng felt a little dizzy, as if he wanted to persuade Ferdinand to pay attention to oil, not to provoke the Serbian side, and let him pay attention to Romania.

Gao Hongsheng scratched his head in distress, turned his head and looked at Ferdinand suspiciously, could it be that he had just said it for a long time? After thinking about it, he said, "Hmm! Yes, I'll find a place to build a small shipyard in Shandong, the Great Qing Kingdom, but what do you think of that oil field in Romania, do you want it or not? ”

Ferdinand looked at Gao Hongsheng with some confusion, and then smiled at him: "Did I say no?" Of course I'm interested in that oil field, I'll say hello to the bank tomorrow and see what they mean, if they really want to sell it, we'll buy it, it's not a big deal, you can buy it for hundreds of thousands of pounds, but can it really produce two million pounds a year? ”

Gao Hongsheng secretly let out a long breath at this time, why didn't he believe it just now, he asked him, he knew that he was already tempted, why waste so much of his tongue.

"Pretty much, we need to build a big refinery. Well! Construction of a large oil refinery in Hungary. On the Romanian side, crude oil is extracted and transported to refineries in Hungary.

Eggs can't be put in one basket at the same time, and the refinery should not be placed in Romania, in case there is any change in Romania in the future, and the refinery in the province will be controlled by others, so that even if there is no Romanian crude oil, you can refine it from crude oil from other places, which is also safer. ”

"Okay, anyway, you invest, I don't have any money, high, how many shares do you want to have?" Ferdinand looked at him and said very scoundrelly.

Okay, it's really a white eater, you want shares without paying a penny, but you really can't give it to him less, after all, Gao Hongsheng still needs Ferdinand's help in many things, throwing Ferdinand a big eye, Gao Hongsheng said: "I pay, I account for 40%, you 30%, and the other 30%, you look at the distribution, as for who to give and who not to give you your own ideas." ”

The result of dealing with officials and businessmen is that it would be good if you could get the lion's share of the money, and don't even think about it if you want to engage in absolute control of Shenma.

No one is a fool, you are absolutely in control, you have countless ways to dilute other people's shares, and in the end, people build bridges and pave the way for you, but you will eat and wipe them all out of the hair, who will do it!

With absolute control, you can directly expand the shares without the approval of the board of directors, and the minority shareholders want not to be eaten by the major shareholders, so they must throw money into it again and again, so as to maintain their share of the shares.

"Okay, I'll help you get in touch, the oil fields in Romania can now be said to be ours." Ferdinand was very satisfied with the distribution plan of this share, of course, Gao Hongsheng had to take the lion's share, but he did not have an absolute controlling stake, and everyone had something to discuss, so that there would be no possibility that other people's interests would be weakened in a few years.
