The old director of the shipyard didn't understand why the boss proposed to produce such a giant cruise ship that had sunk in the last century.

He was really surprised, he felt that it was completely pointless.

What if it could be copied from the original Tidanic? A luxury cruise ship at the beginning of the last century, until now, is definitely lagging behind the luxury cruise ships of today's cruise companies in all aspects.

Even if it was a giant at that time, it was not too big now. Now there are bigger cruise ships.

It's really hard for John to imagine who would want to buy such a ship, even if it was built.

If no one wants to buy it, then can't they just park it on the dock of their own shipyard and stay here to rust and rot?

"HUANG, BOSS, NO, IT MAKES NO SENSE TO PRODUCE SUCH A CRUISE SHIP, WHICH WILL MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR OUR SHIPYARD, WHICH IS ALREADY FACING CLOSURE. In our shipyard, there are more than 1,000 or 2,000 employees, all of whom need to work, and if the shipyard is not able to operate, they will all face the dilemma of unemployment. BOSS, please think twice, don't be impulsive."

The old factory director was a little excited, and wanted to try his best to dissuade Huang Bai from building such a cruise ship.

"John Hasson, don't get excited, I have my reasons for doing this. Come on, sit down first, let's talk slowly." Cork asked John to sit down first.

This old guy is called John Hasson.

At this time, Huang Bai looked at the Tedani on the screen and said, "John Shipyard, to tell you the truth, I am willing to spend so much money to buy the shipyard, in fact, I came for this ship."

「HY？」

"Because it is beautiful, it represents the pinnacle of an era, and it also represents the beginning of the decline of the hegemony of a maritime age. It is the hope of you British, and it is a pain that you will never want to talk about. But in any case, it should not be sunk in the deep sea forever, it should be rediscovered, because it has endless beautiful stories, it has a unique charm that ordinary cruise ships do not have, it should be reborn, and it should be worthy of admiration, worship and nostalgia for you British people and even people around the world."

"John, I'm the owner of a film company, and I need this ship to make a big movie, so this ship must be made."

「OH！ BOSS, you're really crazy. In order to make a movie, you first spent more than 10 or 2 billion of your Dragon Kingdom to buy our shipyard, and now you can't spend more than 1 billion or 2 billion to build a large cruise ship that is useless at all? This, so you lost money, before the movie was made, you have already paid billions of wealth, even if you have money, you can't spend it like this." John looked shocked.

"No, you won't lose money. Director John, you don't understand the value of this ship. The acquisition of the shipyard is an industry, and even if I transfer it, I can recover a large part of the wealth, so I don't have to think about losing money. Besides, I have a plan, will bring our shipyard back to life, in the future, you will definitely have more shipbuilding orders, but now our shipbuilding technology has not been upgraded, has not been updated, has not caught up with today's advanced cruise company peers, so, there is no competitiveness. However, if we use the shipbuilding technology capabilities of our shipyard to produce and manufacture a large cruise ship at the beginning of the last century, it should be more than enough, right?"

"Well, if it's a highly replica of the Tedani, we can still make it."

"Good! Then set the goal of this project first, and let me produce a large cruise ship like this first. Of course, my request was that the exterior, and most of the interior's layout, layout, decoration, etc., should be similar to the original ship. However, in terms of the materials used in shipbuilding, it must be better than the original and safer than the original ship. Then, in terms of the power of the cruise ship, on the one hand, we must retain the ancient steam power equipment, but this only needs to have a set, and the main power of the cruise ship must also require our modern engine. The steam power is used for decoration and can be used, but mainly for people to visit and be nostalgic. Got it?"

"Yes, the boss means that the exterior of the ship and even most of the layout of the interior must be the same

The Tedani came about the same. But times are different, and we have to make some changes to cruise ships."

"Yes, that's what it means. This ship, in the future, may need to be auctioned, so it has to be allowed to sail normally." Huang Bai didn't go into details, looked at John and said, "John, you say, how long will it take to produce this ship for me."

"We need a little time to collect the design parameters of the cruise ship, as well as modifications, but a lot of the data is ready-made, as long as there are no problems in the procedures, and there is no problem with the copyright of such a cruise ship? Also, can we pass the audit in terms of the British Island government? If all of this is okay, then we can start manufacturing in half a month, and we will be able to launch in about three or four months."

"So fast?" Cork listened to a joy.

"Now the manufacturing industry is not like before, we all have large machinery, fully automatic operation, if we start operating at full capacity, it will be very fast, and the key is the problem of assembly. Fortunately, there is still a lot of high-quality steel in our shipyard, and there is no shortage of raw materials. It's not impossible to go a little faster." John said, "Well, launching is going into the water, but it doesn't mean that you can sail normally, and many aspects are perfected after you get into the water. If you really want to completely replicate this ship, it will take at least half a year or more."

"More than half a year...... That's enough." Huang Bai thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, let's start preparing to build a cruise ship like this."

Cork decided.

Huang Bai doesn't care much about specific affairs, anyway, Zheng Jiyang sent by his own company will supervise the affairs with the working group, John, the old factory director, is in charge of specific things, and three people sent by Huang Yafu, the former owner of the shipyard, are helping to coordinate some work.

Next, Huang Bai and Mozart Lise went to a beach villa near the shipyard and rented a sightseeing villa to settle down.

The British William Vieters shipyard is also located in the Southampton area of the British island, which is only more than 30 kilometers away from the city.

This is one more reason why Cork decided to buy the shipyard. The sunken Tedani in history started its maiden voyage from here, and it is also its swan song.

To make this film, I will also start here, so that it is appropriate to build this ship here.

In fact, when making this movie, you naturally don't really want to rebuild the ship, because you can shoot the movie well in the studio, and then use computer special effects to restore the ship, and you can design the background very realistically.

But why does Cork have to make a copy of the original Tedani now?

This is because Cork needs a sensational news effect.

For Mythical Entertainment to enter the international film market, Huang Bai must establish his own entertainment company's position in the world, that is, to give people a good image of being rich and wealthy, and to really do a good job in movies, and he does not hesitate to invest huge amounts of money in order to make good movies.

Also, this is also aimed at some of the characteristics of their Westerners, causing them Westerners to identify and recognize this matter, attracting their widespread attention, and making this movie popular before it is made, so that they Westerners are full of expectations for this movie. Only in this way can a big breakthrough be made after the movie is filmed, whether it is in the film schedule or at the box office after the release.

In the original world of Huang Bai, the total global box office of this movie is almost 2 billion US dollars, and in this world, a wider world with a larger population, Huang Bai does not pray that the movie box office can have as many movie box office as proportional to it, and does not think that it will also achieve a movie box office of 20 billion US dollars, but even if there is a movie box office of 2 billion US dollars in his original world. Then no matter how much you invest now, you will make money. What's more, Huang Bai believes that as long as the excitement of the original movie is well restored, then there is no big problem in achieving the box office results of this movie, or even far exceeding it.

Huang Bai estimates that when the time comes, the global box office performance of movies can reach about 5 billion US dollars, then it will be a success.

So, now this little investment

, Cork felt that it was nothing at all. Converted, the temporary purchase of shipyards and shipbuilding is estimated to cost more than 400 million US dollars. As for the cost of the auction, it is estimated that it will not cost much.

If you spend hundreds of millions of dollars now, you will earn two or three billion dollars when the time comes, and this account will be earned no matter how you calculate it.

Now what Huang has to do is to get the approval of the Southampton government and the municipal authorities, as well as their support. In addition, it is hoped that the support of the British island country of Kyoto can be obtained directly.

And obviously, Huang Bai, a native of the Dragon Country, came to invest in their British island country, and it is still such a big investment, their government will definitely not know about it, and they actually attach great importance to it.

In some cases, in a certain way, these Western powers do have a certain degree of ideological hostility towards the Dragon Kingdom, and no matter what the Dragon Kingdom does, they will subconsciously oppose and obstruct it.

However, that's really just for the higher level of the Dragon Kingdom, and it belongs to some matters of strategic interests.

Dragon merchants like Huang Bai, especially those who come to their home country to invest, actually have a welcoming attitude.

Affected by some circumstances, such as some global epidemics, some regional wars, etc., at the beginning of the twenties of this new century, the economic development of the entire Blue Sky Star has been greatly affected.

Anyway, no one is so happy.

In the meantime, the situation has indeed been somewhat volatile.

This has also directly led to the shelving of many investment projects and the global economic downturn.

The British island country, one of the developed countries in the blue sky star world, has also suffered a great impact on its economy, and many industries have also fallen into a half-dead state. Factories are shut down, companies are bankrupt, more and more people are unemployed, and their governments are now in a bit of a mess.

Under such circumstances, a shipyard that is facing bankruptcy is still willing to spend so much money to take over, and will continue to build ships, so that the shipyard still has work, so that the one or two thousand shipyard workers will not lose their jobs. This is a great thing for their British island nation. Z.br>

They also need some foreign investment, and then stimulate their island economy, let their economy recover, and get them out of trouble.

Although the investment of cork is also large, it is naturally impossible to say that it can get them out of the predicament, but it has really stimulated their economy. Under such circumstances, there are still people who are willing to come to their British Island to invest, which is tantamount to giving others a signal that their British Island still has hope, has a future, and can restore its previous prosperity.

If there is a big financier who comes in to invest, then there will be a second financier in the future.

In particular, there is such a saying in the world now.

If the world economy wants to recover today, it has to look at the dragon country.

Only the Dragon Kingdom can set a benchmark for the world and lead the world economic recovery.

Because, today's Dragon Kingdom is no longer what it used to be. It has huge economic potential in itself.

Let's put it this way, whether it is production and manufacturing, the import and export of commodities in all aspects, there is no dragon country that cannot meet the needs of any country, and no matter which country they have a surplus of commodities and products, there is nothing that the dragon country cannot digest.

Therefore, on the one hand, they are afraid that the Dragon Kingdom will continue to be strong, but on the other hand, they cannot do without the Dragon Kingdom. On the surface, they want to draw a clear line with the Dragon Kingdom, but secretly, everyone wants to be friends with the Dragon Kingdom.

Food, clothing, housing, transportation and play, no matter which aspect, if they have a good relationship with the Dragon Kingdom, then they will make money properly.

There are some things that sometimes I don't know what to say.

It always feels strange and hard to understand.

Let's put it this way, in terms of food. With such a large population in the Dragon Country, the food produced in the original country may only be enough for domestic demand, or it may not be enough for domestic demand. However, this is the case, the Dragon Kingdom will have some high-quality grain exports, and if there is a country facing a food crisis, it has established a good friendly relationship with the Dragon Country

, then the Dragon Kingdom will always have food support to help him tide over the difficulties. People in the dragon country will help you tighten your belts.

And if some of the big grain exporting countries, their overproduction, no matter how much, as long as they establish friendly relations with the Dragon Kingdom, no matter how much, the Dragon Kingdom can also digest it.

This is only one aspect, and the situation of other commodities seems to be similar.

In general, the capital of the Dragon Kingdom today is actually quite concerned by the international community.

Where there are dragon people to invest, it will make people feel that it is profitable.

For the local government, that is always a good thing, it can always boost the sluggish market and lift people's hearts.

The acquisition of William Vitesse by Cork was soon known to the British islanders.

Huang Bai and Mozart Lise had just wanted to spend a few days together when they received an invitation from the government and municipal officials of Southampton. They hope to talk about the purpose of Huangbai's acquisition of the shipyard and what its development plans are. If it is beneficial to their economy, then they will also give some policy support to Cork.

In particular, after Cork had the company's people submit an application to their local municipality to build a luxury cruise ship identical to the Tedani, they were very interested in the Southampton government, and they wanted to know what Cork was for.

For the invitation, Cork naturally will not refuse, in fact, Cork is also waiting for their invitation.

At a high-end restaurant, Huang Bai and Mozart Lise met with the mayor of Southampton, along with several municipal officials, most of whom were in charge of urban construction and tourism.

The mayor of Southamp is a chubby man in his fifties.

It's called Pavin Anders.

"Huang, I didn't expect you to be such a young man, I really feel a little unbelievable to see you in person. Well, I like your music very much, especially the song "Vtory", which really makes people's blood boil, and it can make people want to make people want to listen to it, which is very beautiful."

Naturally, Pavin Anders has done a little bit of work and learned a little about cork.

However, for Huang Bai, he was really surprised, and felt that this young man was a magical young man, as the legend goes, the people of the Dragon Kingdom are a little mysterious. It was really hard for him to understand how a young man like Huang Bai could create so much excellent music.

"It's over, Mr. Pavon, if you mean music creation, it's not difficult for those who know, but not for those who are difficult. It's that simple. It's not too difficult for those who really like music to create music like mine, and you in the West can't compare it to my 'vtory' symphony, that's really not too much." Huang Bai said modestly.

"Haha, that's true, but I still like your "Vtory" more."

"Thank you, but don't say that in front of me and this lady at the same time."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because she's going to get angry. She felt that the real joy of good intentions had to be her grandfather's music."

"Huh? This beautiful lady is ......"

"She is Mozart Lis, the granddaughter of the Hop Nation maestro Mozart Del."

"Uh...... Forgive my gaffe, Lady Liss, but I prefer your grandfather's music."

"Mr. Pavon, don't listen to his nonsense, I'm not so stingy, in fact, now I admire him the most, and my grandfather has to stand back." Liz chuckled softly.

"Oh...... I'll keep this secret from you, Miss Lis."

Huang Bai and these government officials in Southamp, the British island country, started talking on a light-hearted topic.

Then, they tasted some of the so-called delicacies in their mouths, which is really, the so-called delicacies of the British island people, which is really indescribable.
