Chapter 158: Skilled Workers
Celtic was a little surprised when he saw Liu Minghao, and then a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, "You are the new crew member that Jason said?" ”
"Hannold. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Liu Minghao nodded slightly, and looked at the table beside him, on which were placed several books, as well as a book full of words, and a very detailed illustration.
Celtic noticed Liu Minghao's gaze, a hint of shyness appeared on his dark face, and then he seemed to suddenly think of something, pointing to the notebook and said, "I'm recording the previous solution, even Mr. Andrew thinks it's very good, you are really good at it, although it is someone else's solution, but you can remember, obviously also proficient in mechanical knowledge, I am only starting to contact it now, many places are not clear, it feels very laborious." ”
"You've actually figured out what the problem is." Liu Minghao walked to the table, looked at the "Mechanical Principle" on the table, and the densely written book, and said to Celtic, "Even without my prompt, I will definitely be able to find a solution, but it will take some time." ”
"How can that be the same." Celtic waved his hand repeatedly, his dark face flushed slightly, "Then I can only wait for Mr. Andrew to come to solve the problem, I will definitely not be able to do it." ”
"Actually, you didn't want to learn about it?" Liu Minghao raised his eyebrows slightly, in his opinion, Celtic obviously has a talent in technology, at this time steam power is in the ascendant, skilled workers are extremely scarce, people with experience and enthusiasm like him, as long as a little training, have the opportunity to become an engineer and change their destiny.
"You mean going to a technical school?" Celt touched the worn-out copy of "Principles of Mechanics" with his right hand and smiled wryly, "It costs a lot of money, and Ben and I can't afford it." ”
"Technical schools are not a good place." Liu Minghao shook his head slightly, at Celtic's age, he must have a lot of burden, and he has not received a formal education, so he obviously can't adapt to that kind of rigid teaching, "You can also enter a large shipyard, with your ability, it should not be difficult to get a job like that, as long as you learn more and see more, you can master rich experience and skills better than technical schools." ”
Celtic's eyes lit up, Liu Minghao's words gave him a new idea, this is indeed a good way, originally he was an apprentice in a small workshop, and he suffered a lot to master some basic skills before he had the opportunity to become a maintenance worker, and now it is true that many large shipyards are recruiting skilled workers, and at the end of this voyage, he may be able to choose this to try his luck.
At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the warehouse, and then the door was vigorously pushed open, and a maintenance worker with horizontal eyebrows poked his head in, saw Liu Minghao at a glance, frowned slightly and looked up and down a few times, lowered his voice slightly, and beckoned to Celtic, "Celtic." ”
Liu Minghao's heart moved slightly, and he recognized at a glance that the man in front of him was one of the few people who followed Dong Heng and Cross Scar before.
Celtic frowned slightly, and put down the notebook in his hand with some reluctance, and walked out with the man, through the gap in the hatch, he could see the two walking to the edge of the passage and starting to talk.
The voices of the two were extremely low, Liu Minghao could only see from the looks of the two that the man seemed to be persuading or threatening again, and Celtic was very embarrassed, but he couldn't refuse.
Soon Celtic followed the man in the direction of the steam room, Liu Minghao walked outside the door, and was about to follow to take a look, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Jason walked over quickly with a calm face.
"Where have you been, didn't I already say don't wander around." Jason frowned and looked at Liu Minghao, "I've already arranged it, come with me." ”
Liu Minghao closed the door with his hand back and walked over to Jason's side, "What is my mission?" Rice said I could make a lot of money on the boat. ”
Jason snorted, stopped, turned his head to look at Liu Minghao, half threatening and half warning, "I don't care what Jason told you, you just need to remember that as long as you are on the table, you must not make a thousand, otherwise if you mess up, I will throw you into the sea with my own hands." ”
"I have at least the right to know who my opponent is." Liu Minghao raised his eyebrows slightly, and ignored Jason's threat, "Haven't you heard of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, Rice should have told you what I am best at, since I can't make a thousand, at least let me see the other party's game, otherwise no one can guarantee winning or losing." ”
While talking, the two came to a cabin, Jason pushed the door in, Liu Minghao followed in, this is an independent cabin, the bed is covered with snow-white sheets, Jason took a suit from the shelf in front of the bed and handed it to Liu Minghao, picked up another set and changed it himself.
Liu Minghao is thin, and when he changes into a well-fitting outfit, he doesn't seem to have any sense of disobedience, but Jason is much worse, even if he is straight, he looks like a bodyguard who collects debts, not a member of high society.
"We are going to see Monsieur Louis now, and he will look for an opportunity to introduce us to the captain and a few gentlemen." Jason tugged at the bow tie around his neck a little uncomfortably, "All you have to do is use your skills to earn their respect, remember, not only to win, but also to win beautifully, and preferably to make them trust you." Of course, this is not a one-time success, and we may need to try a few more times. ”
Liu Minghao buttoned the last button of his coat, raised his hand to arrange the cuffs, and listened to Jason's nagging silently, now things are going like he predicted, there is a chance to get close to the captain and engineer, but he can use this opportunity to win their trust, if he can change or influence his decision when the captain decides to speed up, maybe he can easily change the ending of the Titanic.
After changing their clothes, Liu Minghao and Jason came to the chess and card room in the first-class cabin and saw a tall and thin middle-aged man.
"You're too late." Louis frowned slightly, "Now Mr. Captain is playing cards, can't be disturbed." ”
"We're not already talking about it." Jason leaned over in a bit of a hurry and lowered his voice to negotiate with Luis.
Although he didn't know what Jason said, Louis showed a hint of hesitation, hesitated for a moment, and his tone softened slightly, but he still refused to let go, "Captain Smith doesn't like to be disturbed when he is playing, if you don't want to provoke him, it's best not to try to do it." ”
Jason's negotiation had obviously failed, and Louis, though much more tactful, insisted on not disturbing the captain's interest, and only promised to arrange a time for the two of them for the evening, provided that they were not as late as this time, as he would not be able to help.
