I didn't expect good news to come from as far away as the West Coast. (To read the latest chapter of this book, please visit the biquge.info of Wèn Aishang Novel Network) It seems that today is a good day, why not celebrate? Situ Nan thought to himself.

"Congratulations, my friend, Francis, it's a pity I'm in Detroit now, otherwise I could have celebrated with you." Situ Nan said.

"By the way, the shipyard's merchant ship construction has not been affected, right?" Situ Nan asked.

As a shareholder of Francis Shipyard and a partner of Francis, Situ Nan should care about his business. In fact, he was too busy with his own business, and he hadn't paid attention to the San Francisco shipyard for a long time.

"! Since the Admiralty has received so many orders, I have pushed all the orders for the merchant marine. Now I'm busy building warships, all the slipways are full, and the shipyard still has the energy to build merchant ships?

The navy also urged it to send a representative to the factory to keep an eye on the progress of the project all day long. My workers are already working shifts, and they only have one day off even for Christmas. If it weren't for Lao Tzu's desperate efforts to raise wages, it is estimated that the greedy processing gang would have gone on strike. Francis scolded as he laughed.

"You work harder in this way, and I'm sure there will be enough rewards." Situ Nan followed Francis's words. It's just a pity, after all, the demand for merchant ships is also very strong, and the Francis shipyard just has no spare capacity.

"Now I'm watching the merchant ship orders sent to my door one by one, and my heart hurts, isn't this all money? It's like meat that is brought to the mouth but can't be eaten, and people are hungry to death.

In previous years, I would have been very happy if I had received half of the orders. Francis said with a heartache.

"Huh!" Situ Nan said with a smile.

Greed will never be satisfied, and it is a very difficult choice for them to make a choice to earn one share of money and give up another.

"Hell, Germans, you say they're so capable? Those merchant ships that had worked hard for months were killed by them with a single torpedo, what a loser! When Lao Tzu has built those destroyers, it will be enough for the Germans to drink a pot・・・・・"

Francis said smutteringly.

Get! Situ Nan can see that this guy is a typical example of being cheap and well-behaved, and it is estimated that he is crazy after becoming a big order holder for the navy.

Not only Francis, but Situ Nan thought viciously in his heart, now the bosses of shipyards all over the United States are so happy that they want to dance, right?

After a while, Situ Nan saw that Francis was still talking crazy, and he was a little impatient, he really couldn't talk to a man who was over half a hundred years old and had a bald head and a bald donkey.

"Is there anything else you can do?" Situ Nan said loudly into the microphone, in fact, what he wanted to say was buddy, the phone bill is very expensive, let it go if you have a fart! But thanks to the phone company that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, because the answer is free.

"Oh. What I want to say really has something to do with this! You see, now that the shipbuilding industry is so hot, the Francis Shipyard can only build warships, and there is no spare energy to build merchant ships, I want to go to San Diego to build another branch factory dedicated to building merchant ships, what do you say? ”

Francis finally got down to business, and he said so much earlier just for this sentence. But it's a good idea.

"Talk about it," Situ Nandao.

He knew that building a warship for the Navy, although he could live for a part of the deposit, and because it was easier to get a loan from the bank because of the government guarantee, it also took up a lot of money from the Francis shipyard itself.

And it was only with great difficulty that he got the first orders from the Admiralty, and Francis had to get things done beautifully, no matter what he said. It is estimated that he did not dare to embezzle the money for the construction of the ship.

Without the acceptance of the Navy, the Francis shipyard should not be able to get the extra money. That's why this guy is looking for himself. Situ Nan guessed.

Knowing that the war will be over in two years, building a shipyard is not growing vegetables, maybe there will be no shadow in three or five months?

Situ Nan expressed doubts about the current production capacity, although American shipyards have begun to realize the standardization of parts to build ships, but limited by technological limitations, it is unlikely that they will build ships as frantically as they did in World War II.

In his heart, he did not approve of Francis going to build a new shipyard again, the war would be over in two years, was it too late? At that time, the shipyard was finally built, and no one would want to build a merchant ship, right?

"Hey, hey. You're right, didn't I come to work with you? How about we work together again? Francis said.

After a deep sigh, Situ Nan replied: "The risk is too great, if the United States enters the war, do you estimate that the Germans can resist for three or five years?" When the time comes, we will work hard to pick up the shipyard, and when we are planning to build a ship, I guess the war is over, right? ”

Situ Nan said earnestly. Don't let this guy be too optimistic, Situ Nan felt the need to warn this guy.

And Situ Nan hesitated because the shipbuilding industry on the West Coast of the United States has always lagged behind that of the East Coast, and now it is a problem to open a new factory, if nothing else, to find enough skilled workers.

"No, no, Stoney, you don't understand what I mean, we don't need to build another shipyard, we have a ready-made shipyard in San Diego now.

Although the scale is a bit small, it can build a 3,000-ton merchant ship, and there is a good deep-water port, we can take it down and then renovate it, and build a merchant ship of 5,000 tons or more than 10,000 tons. When the time comes, I can put the orders that I can't fulfill in San Diego. ”

Francis explained.

"Oh? Sounds good. But since it's so good, how can the boss of the family be so likely to betray? Situ Nan asked.

"Why not? As long as the price we offer is appropriate, it is not only shipbuilding that makes money, but also any investment in industry can make a lot of money.

I inquired, the other party is a second ancestor, and he has just inherited the ancestral business not long ago, so it is estimated that he has no intention of taking care of it for a long time. We should have a good chance of making a move. Francis said.

Feelings, this guy is ready, I guess he coveted the San Diego shipyard for a day or two, right?

Situ Nan thought secretly in his heart. Then he added: "How much does this investment cost?" ”

"$2 million! Originally, I wanted to exchange the shares of the Francis Shipyard with the other party, but they did not agree. He's going to change it to something else. Francis said with some frustration.

Nonsense, Francis is a big factory, so much bigger than others, isn't it all at once eaten by you that people exchange shares with you?

Situ Nan thought to himself. Speaking of Francis, the majority shareholder of the Francis shipyard is still Francis's guy, he only holds a small part of the shares, and the rest is in Francis's hands.

This made Situ Nan a little uncomfortable, and he thought about when Francis was unlucky, and then he took over the shipyard lightly. But this thing is just thinking about it, so there are so many things that are going to be shared?

"Isn't it stupid to say this? Where is the second ancestor? Situ Nan smiled, "What shares does he want?" ”

Since there is such a thing, Francis found himself, which is naturally related to his own industry, otherwise Francis can take it out with a mere $2 million. Situ Nan's mind was racing and he came to this conclusion.

"California Steel or whatever." Francis said in pain.

In fact, he also owns 10% of the shares of California Steel, and he could have used a part of the thickened shares of the steel company to monopolize the shipyard, but he did not do so.

It's not that Francis can't, but he doesn't want to. From the moment Situ Nan took a stake in the Francis Shipyard, the shrewd Francis saw the ambition of Situ Nanye's own shipyard.

But these things are also normal, who doesn't have ambition when they come out to mix? As long as he does not use despicable means and is honest with each other, such a person Francis is still willing to cooperate with him. In this regard, Francis has a good impression of Situ Nan.
