Alchemy Greater China

But for a whole week after Cui Yuanlang left, the work efficiency of this Citibank dropped by 40%. The reason is very simple, every professional’s ears are buzzing...

Cui Yuanlang was busy, and Long Hao was not idle either. Afraid of long nights and dreams, he immediately organized fishermen from the fishing ground to board the boat in an orderly manner, and purchased supplies in large quantities.

Including Fang's Fishing Farm, Long Hao bought a total of 5 Chinese fishing farms at a cost of US$9.8. After signing the contract, the number of fishermen who went to Alaska was 377 in total. If family members were included, the number exceeded 500!

According to the contract signed between Melissa’s team and the fishermen, each fisherman must work for the company for five years, with an annual salary of US$300 per person. At the end of the year, bonuses will be paid according to work performance, and the salary will increase by 3% to 5% year by year.

Compared with the people in Guangming Village, this price is a bit low, but in the eyes of these impoverished Chinese fishermen, it is a dizzying wealth!

Working for $300 a year?If family members go together, can each person get a subsidy of 100 US dollars?Such a good thing... why only 5 years?Most fishermen actually think so in their hearts!

If Melissa knew what these fishermen were thinking, she would strike while the iron was hot and sign a lifetime contract with these fishermen.

Punishment is not without, if the fisherman wants to leave before five years, then according to the number of unfinished years, each person needs to pay 400 US dollars a year!

Of course, in the eyes of Chinese fishermen, the penalty clause in this contract is completely "a waste of words". If you work for 300 a year, you will pay 400 for leaving. There is a difference of 700 US dollars. Any fool knows how to choose!So what if it's cold in Alaska?Didn't I hear that Young Master Long is shopping for cotton clothes and a stove?

Long Hao was indeed buying cotton-padded clothes and a stove. Under Fang Mingde's hard work as a matchmaker, Master Long, who had money in his pocket, was wondering if he wanted to use the name of Haomei Company to buy a few more clothing stores and blacksmiths. shop?

It is also a good deed to beat the steel king, leak some oil and water, and stimulate the economy of Chinatown by the way!

However, after some research and listening to Fang Mingde's suggestion, Long Hao dismissed the idea with regret: Chinese clothing stores and blacksmith shops are good, but the production methods are too backward and there is a lot of money. It is better to open a Western-style manufacturing shop again. Garment factory, and then dig out those masters with good craftsmanship!

Otherwise, after I bought it, I couldn’t move to Alaska, and the store would still have to be taken care of by the original owner—isn’t this throwing money into the water?

Although he has just earned more than 200 million US dollars, Master Long still knows the truth of thrifty housekeeping!

So, he just ordered more than 2000 sets of cotton-padded clothes and more than 200 stoves, but these two orders made the owners of clothing stores and blacksmith shops in Chinatown very happy. Such a God of Wealth... Shhh, could it be the illegitimate son of a prince in the Qing Dynasty?

I don't know if Long Hao would get mad if he knew that he was a descendant of the prince with braids in the eyes of some people. Early this morning, he brought Yuan'er, Melissa and others to an Italian shipyard located in the South Port of San Francisco. Visit and study.

When Cui Yuanlang came back, he handed Long Hao the private certificate of deposit with 100 million US dollars, so Long Hao, who was not comfortable with spending all the money, decided to make up for the regret in Seattle-buy a freighter!

What can $100 million buy?The attentive Italian shipyard owner introduced Princess Melissa one by one.

On the surface, the boss of Haomei Company is still this glamorous and beautiful Spanish princess, with the status of a royal aristocrat, she will save a lot of unnecessary trouble wherever she goes.

"Dear Princess Melissa, look here, the keel is made of the highest quality steel from the Carnegie Steel Company..."

"Beautiful Princess Melissa, look here, these are experienced Italian shipbuilders, and there are hardworking surveyors over there..."

"Wise Princess Melissa, look here, all are completed freighters, the steam engines are made in England, and the boilers are made in Germany..."

The owner of the Italian shipyard is a handsome old man who is over forty years old and still has charm. When he saw Melissa, he was like a bee seeing a flower. stop.

Long Hao was impatient and asked, "Mr. Trapattoni, your shipyard is very good, and Her Royal Highness likes it very much. I wonder how much you can give it up?"

Long Hao got angry, are you showing off?Then I will buy your factory, ship and people together!

Trapattoni immediately shook his head when he heard the words: "I'm so sorry, this shipyard is our family's property. I only have the right to manage it, not the right to dispose of it!"

This era is the golden age of ship technology blowout. The continuous shipbuilding orders in the world may be able to circle the earth several times!Owning a shipyard is equivalent to owning a hen that can hatch golden pills, no one is willing to sell it!

Long Hao raised his finger: "100 million US dollars, can you sell it?"

In 1890, the shipbuilding technology of the United States was very backward. The largest shipyard in San Francisco could only build 5000-ton freighters. Compared with Britain, France and Germany, the gap was too big!

Historically, the United States established the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers in 1893, and the Webb School of Shipbuilding in 1894. Since then, the American shipbuilding industry has taken off!

Therefore, Long Hao believes that American shipyards will never be very expensive!

Although he was a little surprised that Long Hao said it was 100 million dollars, Trapattoni still showed deep contempt in his eyes: "Based on my good relationship with Princess Melissa, I can tell you that 100 million dollars can If you buy 10 '**-class' freighters, I can give you a 95% discount, but this shipyard... less than 40 pounds, the family will not consider it!"

40 pounds, which is more than 200 million US dollars!

Long Hao, who felt good about himself, suddenly realized that although he made a fortune out of Carnegie, he was still far behind the old powers in the world!For this second-rate shipyard far away from the European continent, it actually costs 200 million US dollars.

What's more, the shipyards are all over the British Empire in the three islands of England, and the income from selling ships in a year can top several U.S. finances!

Melissa was careful, and found that Long Hao was in a low mood, so she smiled and said, "Trapattoni, 10 **-class freighters, I bought them, 95 US dollars, and you can pay immediately!"

Elegantly signed, a Citibank check with o&m printed on it was handed over to this handsome Italian middle-aged man.

"Uh...really?" Trapattoni was dumbfounded.

The **-class freighter is actually a steam freighter with a displacement of 2350 tons. It is extremely unwise to go on a long-distance voyage of tens of thousands of nautical miles for a medium-range voyage!

In the event of strong winds and waves, coupled with a few larger reefs, the first-class freighter can be buried in the sea! At $9.5 a car, Long Hao felt that it was too expensive and not worth it! <, that Italian guy despises you, didn't I help you out? "

Long Hao was speechless: Help me vent my anger?Help me vent my anger and buy 95 freighters for $10. Don't you die laughing at that Italian guy?Please, 95% of the company is mine, okay?If you want to vent your anger, don't squander the company's money!

Looking at Melissa's innocent appearance, Long Hao felt that he was wrong. Compared with Melissa, this princess is the one who is truly rich and does not spend it all. Schinova...
