"Then, you can pay a price."

Hatton said through gritted teeth.

Zhang Shusheng saw that the other party was finally relieved, and he was overjoyed, and directly quoted the price he had prepared.

"200 million Cosmic Coins!"

"200 million Cosmic Coins??"

Hatton stood up again, with an angry look on his face, and roared, "200 million cosmic coins, do you know how much money has been invested in this battleship production line?"

The first batch of investment alone reached 500 million Cosmic Coins, with a total investment of more than 5 billion Cosmic Coins. ”

Zhang Shusheng waved his hand and said, "It's a pity that this production line has been in use for 150 years, and your company has earned a huge fortune of more than 20 billion universe coins in these 150 years. If it weren't for the Galen Arms Company, you wouldn't have gotten into a lot of debt, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and you might have been sued in court. ”

"Well, I'll admit that what you say is true."

As if someone had stepped on a sore foot, Hatton sat down and muttered, "It's all my fault, I'm too greedy to go to financing, and I want to upgrade the factory into a battleship production line...... It's all my fault, it's all my ......."

Zhang Shusheng was sweating profusely when he heard this, this product would not be the incarnation of Xianglin's sister-in-law, it is normal to be cheated by someone in the business field.

Judging from the information I just checked, this Hatton is a good battleship production talent, who understands technology and management, and is very hard-working.

Seeing that the family's business is not as good as day by day, the battleship production line is also aging, on the one hand, the equipment is aging, generally because of the aging equipment, the quality of the battleship can not be improved, and the competition is not others, and I am very anxious.

In a hurry, this Hatton actually believed in a so-called consortium of the Longshan Empire.

Instigated and promoted by the Galen Company, this gang of swindlers put on a big show, socialized with hordes of high-class people in front of Hatton's eyes, called them brothers, and forged many proof of assets.

As a result, Hatton, who was more straightforward in his surname and knew more about technology than about people, believed them and decided to borrow money from their consortium.

At the same time, he ordered a large number of equipment from several machine manufacturing companies to upgrade the factory.

Unexpectedly, the consortium of crooks suddenly disappeared, and the equipment of those machinery companies was delivered faster than ever.

At this time, there is no money to pay, liquidated damages, commercial fraud......

A bunch of things came up, because the contract signed by the brain at that time involved a very high amount of breach of contract, according to the law of the Nok Business Alliance, Hatton had to pay at least nearly 400 million cosmic coins.

The Habaroque Arms Company, passed down to his generation, in addition to the warship production line and the dockyard, all the realizable wealth added up to only a little more than 200 million cosmic coins.

The dream of upgrading the factory was shattered, and in desperation, Hatton could only sell the company, otherwise, he would go to prison, the company would be forced to go bankrupt, and his family would have to sleep on the street.

The cruelty of business is vividly reflected in Hatton's body, it cannot be said that he is poor, if it were not for the Galen Arms Company behind all this, Hatton is not only a rich man, but also a very rich man.

If the upgrade of the factory is successfully realized, the 1 billion cosmic coins will be paid off in a few years, but now, not only does the upgrade fail, but also owes a lot of liquidated damages.

Although Galen's company is not secretive in doing these things, even Zhang Bing, a superintelligence, can conduct in-depth inquiries on the virtual network to find secrets, and Hatton, as a party, should also understand.

"It's not your fault, it's all Galen's fault. At the very least, your intentions are good, isn't it a great idea to revive the family business? ”

Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but feel that he was still a little cruel to this honest technical house for the sake of bargaining. Admittedly, Hatton's talent for business is not good, but judging from the data, he is indeed very good at building and managing warships.

Moreover, he is not to blame for the fact that the Habaroque Arms Company has come to this point, for more than 120 years, his ancestors and fathers have lost their homes and not upgraded their production lines, and today they are terminally ill.

"Galen Corporation? Yes, I blame them. 120 years ago, my father started from scratch, and because of a conflict at a drinking party, our two families have been at enmity for generations. ”

When it comes to Galen's company, Hatton's eyes are completely angry, and anyone can be angry, but it was a drinking party conflict 120 years ago, and the other party actually killed his own family.

Zhang Shusheng shook his head, this man is still too honest, not to mention a place like the Noke Business Alliance, where business is the sky, if you change any place, people's hearts are sinister and shopping malls abound.

Hatton's grandfather was born from scratch, and he also entered the field of arms manufacturing, and compared with those arms giants, he was just a little ant.

The Nok Business Alliance is based on business, and the four major arms companies in the territory are famous far and wide, and their strength is comparable to that of the Harbaroque Company, which has only a cruiser production line.

"Galen is notoriously domineering, and if you don't pay the liquidated damages, you're likely to face even worse retaliation."

Zhang Shusheng said with some sympathy, but unfortunately, business is so cruel, although the Hatton people are more pitiful, but the price should still be suppressed.

"200 million cosmic coins is still too little, and after paying off the debt, I don't even have enough money to dismiss the workers."

Hatton was no longer as irritable as he had just been, but said earnestly.

He found that this buyer was different from others, who were either haggling or belittling, and this buyer was at least able to get to the point.

Zhang Shusheng nodded, too, 200 million cosmic coins plus Hatton's existing 200 million or so cosmic coins is only about enough for liquidated damages.

A battleship manufacturing company, even if it uses a large number of robots, the number of workers involved is still incalculable, at least 100,000, and the severance pay for these workers is a large sum.

Zhang Shusheng thought for a while and asked, "What do you think is the biggest disadvantage and biggest selling point of this production line?" ”

He decided to put him to the test.

Hatton groaned slightly, took a sip of wine, and said, "Yes, according to the warship production standards of the Pan-Human Alliance, it only has a lifespan of 10 years, and a small number of machines have even been scrapped. However, the machines are well maintained, and the ones in the pictures are old machines that have been taken out of use and have not had time to be dismantled, because the factory has been closed for almost 2 years. ”

After a slight pause, his eyes seemed to light up slightly, and he said, "If its biggest highlight is that it has been transformed into a battleship production line, which is why I want to take out a loan to upgrade it." ”

"Oh? Can it really be upgraded to the battleship line? ”

Zhang Shusheng said curiously, the battleship production line is backward compatible, and the factory that can produce battleships will definitely be able to produce cruisers, but the factory that produces cruisers is almost impossible to upgrade to produce battleships. In addition to the design limitations, there are too many technical limitations.

"Yes, my grandfather, my father, and I are all experts in the production of battleships, and they are considered to be in a mechanical family, and they have a high talent in machinery.

This is also the reason why we have been repeatedly oppressed and can still hold on for 120 years.

We remodeled the production line ourselves, and now the plant is actually able to produce small battleships of the 1800-meter class. ”

Hatton said.

Zhang Shusheng stared at Hatton's face, and from his expression and eyes, he could see that this middle-aged man in his forties was not lying.

"What are you going to do if you pay off your arrears and dismiss your workers?"

Zhang Shusheng thought for a moment and asked.

"Do what?"

Hatton was a little dazed, and then said, "Perhaps, go and become a battleship engineer, with my skills." Alas! ”

The tone was extremely stunned, yes, a person from the owner of a battleship company to become a battleship engineer to work for others, it is a little unacceptable to change anyone, and he blames himself for thinking about it, Hatton poured a few more sips of wine.

The meaning of the hero's end was undoubtedly revealed on his face.

"I have an idea." Zhang Shusheng smiled faintly, "If I buy your battleship factory, you can continue to be the manager of the company and have a certain amount of dividend shares." You don't even need to change the name of the company. ”

"What did you say?"

Hatton's expression was lifted, if this young man bought his own production line, could he continue to participate? Moreover, the company will continue to be called the Harbaroque Battleship Company? Do you still have dividend shares?

These things, if they were placed in the past, they might not be nothing, but now that he is in a desperate situation, he seems to see a bright light.

However, Zhang Shusheng continued, "I will upgrade it to a real battleship production line, as well as a large number of technologically advanced equipment, and a large number of robots with extraordinary battleship manufacturing skills."

In the future, this modified production line will create a powerful battleship with a stronger battleship radar, a stronger battleship main gun, and a stronger energy shield than the Longshan Empire, all of which will not be a problem.

The most important thing is that the new battleship it will produce will surely cause a sensation in the southwest star field of the Milky Way, and it will compare the products of the Galen company.

The warships produced by the Harbaroque Company will defeat the battleships produced by the Galen Company! ”

Zhang Shusheng said the grand idea in his heart in one breath, about the manufacture of battleships, he has thought about it more than once, in addition to not being able to get a production line, what to produce, what technology to get, drawings, design ideas, etc., he is not lacking.

In the dream system, there are a lot of battleship drawings that can be exchanged, advanced radar blueprints, engine blueprints, energy shield blueprints, as long as there is a certain amount of time, you can make up enough points to exchange them.

As long as the empire can produce its own battleships, then it must be very advanced.

There was no way he could just own junk battleships and compete with the Longshan Empire or more countries for the number of warships.

Taking the Longshan Empire as an example, not to mention other fleets, just 12 standing fleets and guard fleets have nearly 6,000 battleships, this scale, Zhang Shusheng can't compare even if he builds another 500 years of cannon fodder battleships.

"For example, the strength of the energy shield has not been able to be improved with the technology of the second-level civilization, mainly due to the energy efficiency of the energy grid, if it changes from 12 cycles to 24 energy cycles......"

In order to prove that he was not making empty promises, Zhang Shusheng specially talked about a technical point, Hatton was just curious at first, and then opened his mouth wide, this problem is a well-known bottleneck problem of the energy shield, Zhang Shusheng actually said it.

How did he know that Zhang Shusheng was talking here, and Zhang Bing was quickly checking the information from the system, of course, it was not only correct but also very clever.

"You make an offer. If you can do this, you can find the Universe Bank to make an installment loan for you, and I will sell you the production line. ”

Hatton drank the last wine in the bottle, and he also saw that Zhang Shusheng definitely didn't have much money in his hand, but he didn't know why, he felt that there was something convincing in the young man in front of him, and he was willing to give it a try.

"250 million cosmic coins, give me another month to fundraise."

Zhang Shusheng said with a smile, he knew that this man was tempted, and the price he gave should be acceptable to both parties, whether it was high or low. The rest of the problem is to raise money.
