The original name of the 'Empire State Building' should actually be 'New York State Building', the reason why it is called the Empire State Building is because its name comes from the Empire State, another name of New York State, so the original English meaning is actually "New York State Building", and "Empire State Building" is a direct translation of the English literal meaning, but because the translation of the Empire State Building has been widely circulated, it is still used today.

Since the crossing, Yan Shao has copied a lot of things, and the thickness of his skin is unimaginable, although he can't be said to have no guilt at all about plagiarizing the name of the 'Empire State Building', but that guilt is estimated to be not much greater than the bacteria in the air.

And...

"Look, didn't I leave him a name of 'New York State Building', this is his original name, it's just because the name of 'Empire State Building' is so loud, so not many people know about it, I can be regarded as helping him get his original name back, they should thank me for it—————— not to mention that I also left them such a domineering name as 'New York State Building', and I only took away a not-so-domineering 'Empire State Building'..."

Thinking of this, Yan Shao didn't have much guilt in his heart, and this time he disappeared completely.

In Yan Shao's view, there is really no more apt name for the 'Empire State Building', after all, if you want to develop in such an era, you must implement imperialist means.

You don't know, even the United States, which pursues 'liberalism', has deliberately set off the 'Spanish-American War' for the sake of profit, and even helped domestic oil merchants to overthrow many Mexican governments. And see the whole of South America as their own backyard...

It can be seen that hypocrisy and hypocrisy cannot survive in this era of the jungle.

"Now that the name has been chosen, is it time for this 'Empire State Building' to start working?"

I silently recited these four words a few times. It seemed that he had some understanding, and Wang Xuan, who came back to his senses, looked at Yan Shao and asked in a low voice.

"Yes..."Yan Shao nodded, bent down to look at the model on the table again. The wooden model itself is not very large, at most more than half a meter high, but it is very finely made, and the windows on almost every floor are carved. "I'll send someone to send 5 million later. As the initial funding of the project, the funds will be received one after another..."

It is impossible for Yan Shao to give all the money to Wang Xuan at one time, after all, it is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan. Although it seems that Wang Xuan's personality and ethics seem to be very good. But who knows what choice the person in front of him will make when facing such a huge amount of money...

After all, in this day and age, not everyone can resist this temptation...

Hearing Yan Shao's words, Wang Xuan nodded. But just when he wanted to say 'yes'. Yan Shao, who was standing next to him, straightened up and looked at him squarely. "Remember, it doesn't matter if it can be built, the key is quality, this project is definitely not allowed to have a little quality problem, I still trust you, but you have to remember to tell the people below, if anyone dares to cut corners, the law of the country is not merciful..." The positive color on Yan Shao's face has turned into a fierce color.

Leaving aside the gains and losses of the 'Empire State Building' for the time being, it is related to the face of the whole country, and even the stimulation of national self-confidence. This time, it is the headquarters building of Yushi Group to be built. As the Group's General Manager, Elano spends a considerable amount of time in the building on official business. If there is any quality problem during the construction of this building, in case something happens one day in the future...

For Yan Shao, nothing is more important than his family...

So if someone really fishes in troubled waters and cuts corners in this matter, Yan Shao will definitely make that person regret that he was born by his parents...

————————————————————

has been the governor for two years, and has been the president for half a year, although Yan Shao usually has a very gentle personality, but if he can't even be scared of an ordinary person when he is angry, then he has really lived in vain in the past few years.

So when Yan Shao looked at Wang Xuan with a fierce face, Wang Xuan suddenly felt his heart tighten, and his whole body was cold...

"Yes, don't worry, I'll supervise it myself..."

Thinking that in the rumors, the Special Affairs Bureau had already dealt with many people, Wang Xuan hurriedly replied in a low voice.

Seeing that Wang Xuan seemed to have taken his words to heart, Yan Shao didn't say anything more. When it was really time to start construction, Yan Shao couldn't really send Wang Xuan alone to supervise the entire project, he had to send more people, this time it was just to warn him...

Now that the design is complete, the next step is to break ground...

Not long after Yan Shao left the research center, someone had already brought 5 million Hua Yuanguo issued by the Bank of China and handed it to Wang Xuan.

5 million, it doesn't seem like a lot, at least this money is definitely not enough to buy a battleship, and at most you can buy one-fifth of a battleship.

However, as an upfront fund for this project, it is still enough if it is only used to start the project.

And after getting this fund, Wang Xuan can finally officially start his long-awaited huge project.

————————————————————

The location of the Empire State Building had already been determined, so Wang Xuan just found a good day according to custom and began to break ground.

However, considering that no one is clear whether the building will be successfully completed in the end, Wang Xuan did not tell people how high he wants to build this time. The overall design of the building was only known to several engineers in charge of the project, including Wang Xuan...

Considering that no one had ever built such a tall building in the past, Wang Xuan and the other engineers were very cautious—————— in fact, there was no need for Yan Shao's special warning, because no one dared to think crookedly in this matter.

After all, this is something that has never been seen before in the history of human construction, in case it is because of cutting corners. If there is any trouble in the end, they know very well what the consequences will be, but these have nothing to do with Yan Shao.

That is, when Wang Xuan and they were solving the foundation problem of the Empire State Building. In faraway North America, after a long voyage, a fleet of two battleships and two supply ships led by Bu Zigao has also reached the sea off New York...

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already negotiated with the U.S. government before they came, so the U.S. government was not surprised by the arrival of Buzigao, let alone made any hostile expressions because of this.

In fact, they are not afraid at all. Because at this time, the Americans will only have more dreadnoughts in New York Harbor than Bu Gao and Liu Guanxiong combined, and definitely not less. What's more, in addition to the dreadnoughts, there are countless other ships docked in New York Harbor. Among them even included some ex-dreadnoughts ...

Under such circumstances, the Americans do not believe that Liu Guanxiong will make any unwise moves.

————————————————————

"Is this New York?" looked at everything in New York Harbor, and the faces of Buzigao and the other officers around him showed deep curiosity, even on the faces of many of the Brazilian Navy who were responsible for helping.

Along the way, these Brazilians didn't do anything unwise. Obviously, they also know how to be in this together. Therefore, although many Brazilian naval officers and sailors are still a little resentful, at least they get along with each other relatively happily.

As one of the largest cities in the world, New York is far more prosperous than some cities in Brazil or Argentina, and the harbor is full of ships of all kinds. And not far away, the high-rise buildings also make the steps high, they have a sense of novelty—————— at this time they don't know the way, there is a world's tallest building in the country is under construction...

Just when all the officers and soldiers poured onto the deck to look at this American city with a different style from Brazil, many people in the harbor looked at the two battleships with curiosity...

Of course. More of them were curiously looking at the red-bottomed dragon flags hanging on the two battleships...

Battleship, this word may be relatively unfamiliar to ordinary people in China. But not abroad. After all, as the strongest maritime weapon in this era, few people in Europe and the United States will be indifferent, especially those who eat by the sea around the ports, and they still recognize some warships, especially the flags of the navies of various countries...

But the two battleships in front of me just...

"Since there can be dreadnoughts, and there are two, it should be regarded as a maritime power, but why haven't I seen this kind of flag? Could it be that a coup d'état took place in some country? This is the flag of the new government? ”

"Yes, I've been running at sea for half my life, why haven't I seen this kind of flag?"

"Me too, at least I have never seen it in Europe..."

"I haven't seen it either..."

"Not to mention Europe, even South America has absolutely none..."

"Neither in Asia..."

"Oceania......... Probably not..."

In an instant, the harbor was filled with such sounds. It is no wonder that they are like this, after all, it was only half a year before the establishment of the Kuomintang, and China was not a country with a great presence in the past.

Some time ago, because of the three battleships, especially the battleship at the New York shipyard, there was a small sensation in the United States. But that sensation was a sensation, but the newspapers did not publish what the Chinese flag looked like, and ordinary Americans would not run to the Chinese consulate in New York without trouble, and naturally even fewer people recognized the national flag...

The most important thing is that this is New York, which belongs to the East Coast, and most of the trade between the United States and China takes place on the West Coast, such as cities like San Francisco. We are all well aware of the inaccessibility of this era, even if it takes a long time to get from San Francisco to Shanghai, let alone from New York to Shanghai.

If there are still some people in San Francisco who know that this is the Chinese flag, then there are really few in New York. And it was in the eyes of many that the two Minas Gerais-class battleships turned their bows and headed in the direction of the New York shipyard ...

By the way, the New York shipyard is not very far from Manhattan, and if the Empire State Building has been built at this time, standing on the top of the Empire State Building, you can even directly overlook the whole view of the New York shipyard...

Under the guidance of the Americans, Buzigao and his entourage soon came to the New York shipyard and slowly docked at the dock of the shipyard. And at one of the docks, Liu Guanxiong and people from the shipyard and the U.S. government have been waiting for a long time...

"Long time no see. Lao Liu..."

When I got off the boat, I saw Liu Guanxiong and his party standing on the dock, and laughed heartily.

Laughter is heard. Liu Guanxiong also opened his arms to greet him.

Don't think about it, Liu Guanxiong didn't step forward to hug Bu Zigao, he just walked in front of him and patted him twice with both hands on the shoulder.

"It's been a long time, Zigao, it's a lot darker..."

"Yes...", he touched his face, although his face was not white, it was definitely not black. But now...

After staying in Rio for so long, he has been tanned and blackened, if he returns home. I'm afraid that even his relatives may not dare to come forward to recognize him for a while...

"No way, the sun in Rio is too poisonous..."

smiled self-deprecatingly, and said to Liu Guanxiong.

Hearing Bu Zigao say this, Liu Guanxiong just smiled and didn't say anything.

He didn't know how poisonous the sun in Rio was to be. But it can also be seen from the dark skin of the step. The sun is really hot there.

"Come, let me introduce you first..." The two of them, along with the other officers who disembarked together, walked to the people of the U.S. government and shipyards, and introduced them one by one. This is Lieutenant Commander Moreno of the U.S. Navy, and this is a ......... of the Navy This is ......... This is..."

Fortunately, there are not many people on the dock, otherwise Liu Guanxiong, who will be known for a while, really can't finish the introduction.

But even so, by the time they finished the introduction, it was already six or seven minutes later.

"General step, in order to celebrate the reason between the two countries. Our company has already had a grand reception, I wonder if you and your colleagues are willing, General Lu Dao..."

Take two steps forward. Eagle asked with a smile.

The smile is very sincere, but he actually doesn't have much confidence in whether he can invite him to Buzigao. Because in the past period of time, he didn't know how many times Lu Dao had invited Liu Guanxiong, but the problem was that Liu Guanxiong didn't agree once, which naturally made him feel very frustrated...

Businessmen seek profits, now who doesn't know that Yan Shao is a well-known rich man, if the New York shipyard can attract some business from Yan Shao's side, basically there is no need to worry about business in the next ten years, but now...

Just when Eagle was still frustrated there, when he heard his invitation, Buzigao was also slightly stunned.

However, after a while, Bu Zigao looked at Liu Guanxiong, wanting to see what he meant, after all, he is only a newcomer now, and he is not familiar with this place, so it is better to look at Liu Guanxiong's opinion on this kind of thing...

Noticing Buzigao's eyes looking at Liu Guanxiong, Yiger sighed in his heart, thinking that this invitation was going to be ruined again.

Who knew that when he was already desperate, Liu Guanxiong spoke.

"Since it's your company's kind invitation, I don't think Zigao will refuse, right..."

Liu Guanxiong was not a self-righteous person, and during this period of time, in order to train the troops, it can be regarded as 'eating enough'. Now that he has almost trained, Liu Guanxiong naturally doesn't mind relaxing...

"That's it..."Bu Zigao didn't know the situation here very well after all, seeing that Liu Guanxiong said so, he groaned for a while, and Bu Zigao finally nodded.

Things actually succeeded because of Liu Guanxiong, who had been bad in the past, which was really a bit unexpected for Yiger, but anyway, since the invitation was successful, Yiger was also relieved.

That night, the New York shipyard held a grand banquet for Buzigao and Liu Guanxiong and his party, in addition to Liu Guanxiong and Buzigao and dozens of high-level officers who participated in the banquet, the rest were basically shipyard people, and they already knew that Dao Buzigao's identity was from the Far East', so they not only had a polite attitude when they looked at Buzigao and his party, but also exposed a naked desire for money in their eyes...

Buzigao has experienced this kind of scene, you must know that when he was in Rio, the Brazilians were all looking like they were going to eat him alive, and they never thought of holding a banquet to entertain them, but now after experiencing such a mayor, Buzigao suddenly felt a little creepy.

And compared with Buzigao, Liu Guanxiong is undoubtedly more suitable for the current scene, after all, Liu Guanxiong is much older than Buzigao, and he has seen many more scenes...

In addition to welcoming Liu Guanxiong and Bu Zigao to their banquet, the officers and soldiers on the ship, the shipyard did not forget either. However, relatively speaking, the shipyard of the officers and soldiers on these ships was inevitably a little lazy, mainly providing some rum or bread or something...

At least on the part of the shipbuilders, this is enough.

However, when they were in Brazil, the officers and men of the two Minas Gerais battleships were almost vomiting bread, so when the people from the shipyard brought the wine, the officers and men on the two ships were nothing, but their expressions were a little ugly when they saw the bread.

Fortunately, at this time, the people from the New York branch of the Yushi Group rushed over and served the wine and food that had been prepared in advance, which immediately made the officers and men on the two ships smile.

————————————————————

It's been a long time since I've eaten so comfortably, and it's been a long time since I've slept so well. Both Liu Guanxiong and other officers and men enjoyed the day, and when the next day, when all these people woke up, they did not rush back to China immediately, but continued their original plan, stayed in New York for a few more days, and exchanged ideas with the US Navy in New York...

In fact, the so-called communication is to visit each other's warships, and then you can go back to your own home and find your own mother...

At least that's how Yan Shao understands it... (To be continued......)
