The old world is in the midst of fierce war, while the new world is thriving.
Newport News Shipbuilding Company, Virginia.
On the slipway, there are many cranes for construction, so people can feel the excitement here. At this time, in the aisle beside the slipway, a group of people are walking and communicating.
"Now, our construction task is very busy. If you want to get the finished products as soon as possible, I'm afraid we have to mention our price again." Walter Hawkins, chairman of the shipbuilding company, said to the visitor.
Hearing the other party's words, Yat, a representative from Hansa shipping company, frowned, indicating that he was hesitating at this time.
Take this opportunity to knock on the Germans!
A few days ago, Hansa shipping company in Germany sent them a tender, saying that they wanted to get involved in new shipping business and needed a batch of new ships. These ships wanted to be built at Newport News shipyard.
At that time, Walter realized that the opportunity came!
Newport News shipyard originated from a coal terminal.
In the 1870s, the Chesapeake and Ohio railway laid a railway connecting Richmond and the Ohio River. It extends to the Virginia Peninsula and connects to the Hampton anchorage to build a coal wharf in Newport News.
In 1886, Huntington built a dock beside the wharf for the maintenance of coal ships and shipbuilding services; Since then, the shipbuilding company has been established.
After its establishment, they established a relationship with the U.S. Navy. Later, the U.S. Navy began to sign contracts with shipbuilding companies to build warships.
Before World War I, the company built six fearless ships for the US Navy. After World War I, the company built several aircraft carriers for the Navy.
In later generations, they still had a very close relationship with the Navy when they came to Zhan ou. In this way, even the Ford class aircraft carrier of the United States was built by them until the 21st century.
It can be said that this is not only a shipyard with a long history, but also the largest private shipyard!
Yes, that's why it attracted the German side to place orders!
Why not build it in Germany? For this reason, Walter can guess that now, Germany is engaged in the European war and needs a large number of arms and weapons. Therefore, the construction period of various shipyards in Germany is very full. Even the warships ordered by the Soviet Union have been delayed. In this case, it is very difficult for a civil shipping company in Germany to place orders.
That's why they came to the United States to place orders!
This is in the interests of the shipyard.
Although the shipyards have orders from the Navy, they are all their own people after all. They can't pit too much. In other words, the profits are not enough. Now that the Germans have placed orders, of course, they should pit them more!
Walter was very excited at this time. The European war was a disaster for the old continent, but it was simply the best opportunity for the new continent!
With the war in Europe, many enterprises in the United States have made a fortune. Large orders from Germany have enabled their production lines to start at full speed, and the daily profits are astronomical. What makes American financiers quite satisfied is that when they explicitly refuse to accept German marks to prevent Germany from becoming waste paper once it is defeated, The Germans are very generous and willing to pay with their hard currency of gold!
This is of greater significance to the United States. The European war allows gold to flow to the United States. Then, when the European war is over, the United States will become the richest country in the world!
Gold is a hard currency. Whoever has more reserves has a say. They can even see that the US dollar will replace the British pound and become a global currency in the future!
The whole country of the United States is welcoming the war in Europe. Under such circumstances, even the president has made a statement that he will not interfere in the situation in Europe.
Isn't it good to fight in Europe and make war money in the United States?
Now, it's finally your turn to build a shipyard! In fact, it's not war money. It's just some small orders. If you like to invest, you have to accept your own price increase!
Looking at the other party's expression, Yate knew what the other party was thinking. Sure enough, every capitalist values interests most. If he can feed these capitalists, he can make them give up their aid to Britain. All these, Germany's investment, are worth it.
"Yes, we can't wait." After pretending to be embarrassed, Yate finally agreed: "we have prepared the design drawings of the whole ship. Now, we need you to carry out rapid construction according to our design drawings. We hope you can deliver the 20 such ships we ordered within one year."
Twenty, it's really a big order! As for delivery within one year, there is absolutely no problem. In fact, our shipyard, which is in low load operation, has the potential to increase production at any time.
Moreover, building civilian cargo ships is different from building warships. You know, the construction of warships only in terms of armor protection is a headache for shipyards.
What the other party proposed was only a civilian ship with a standard displacement of more than 6000 tons and a full load displacement of tens of thousands of tons. There was no problem at all.
"OK, we can agree. Then, can we see the design drawings?" Said Walter.
Only when the conditions are negotiated first can we see the design drawings, otherwise there will be a problem of disclosure, which is the same in future generations. If you want to invite the decoration company to design the house decoration, you must pay a deposit first, and the designer will show you the design drawings.
Now, the two sides have reached a preliminary intention, so art took out a sketch from his briefcase.
In fact, to build a ship, you need at least one car to install the design drawings. Now, art just takes a sketch.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is related to our company's next strategy. Please keep it confidential." Art said mysteriously: "what we need to build now is a container ship, which can greatly improve the efficiency of transportation. Our shipping company will monopolize the global maritime transportation business in the future."
This sentence was so loud that Walter was full of sarcasm. You, a small fleet in Germany, still want to monopolize the global transportation business? Don't dream. The rise of the United States is unstoppable.
With this idea, he took the design drawing. At this time, the sea breeze was still blowing in the distance. He gently picked up the drawing and immediately opened his eyes.
What container ship, ship, this is clearly an aircraft carrier, okay?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
