【072】 Shipyard Down

The shipmen in prison all met Long Hao and knew that this young master was the real person in charge, while the Long Scale Army who were mixed with the boatmen looked excited. It was obvious that although Long Hao did not deliberately engage in personality cult,

These Dragon Scale soldiers who have suffered great benefits have long regarded him as their idol and guardian.

Seeing that there were all the people, Long Hao coughed lightly: "Princess Melissa is here to speak! Why are you still standing there? Applause..."

Pretending to behave! Melissa quietly twisted Long Hao, and then smiled and said, "I don't speak very well in Chinese, so please ask my Chief Guard Long to tell me!"

The Chief Guard was the public identity given to Melissa and Long Hao after discussing with him.

Long Hao was not polite either. He smiled and took out a piece of paper that had been prepared long ago. He announced the management regulations of the Kunpeng Shipyard in Chinese and English.

First, the salary of all ship workers (including foreigners and Chinese) is increased by one level on the original basis, but each person must sign a five-year long contract with the factory. If they are unwilling, the factory will settle their wages and send them back to their hometown.

.

Second, the salary adopts a performance appraisal system, which fluctuates up and down. Those who work more reward and those who work less are punished.

Third, Chinese ship workers must ask foreign ship workers ten professional questions every month. If less than ten, a certain salary will be deducted, and less than three will be directly expelled.

Fourth, foreign ship workers must answer questions truthfully for Chinese ship workers. For each answer, the factory will give a certain bonus according to the difficulty of the question. If someone reports that the answer is false, or there is a perfunctory suspicion, then

The salary of foreign ship workers will be deducted.

fifth……

This management regulations are stable and mainly to appease the hearts of the people. Their characteristic is to further encourage Chinese ship workers to learn from foreign ship workers and ask more questions!

It’s not that Long Hao looked down on the technical strength of the Mawei Shipbuilding Bureau. The facts are here. The Qing Dynasty is still complacent. The slightest gap between the great powers in the Westernization Movement was narrowed. With the development of the world’s science and technology and industrial explosion in the past decade, it has become more and more powerful.

It's getting bigger!

If you want to build a warship, spend money to hire a first-class ship in Europe, or entrust the construction of the UK under the name of Spain, it is the most convenient and efficient! But Long Hao came back from time to time, not to build a few battleships, or

To set up an aircraft carrier in advance, what he wanted was the rise of the entire Chinese nation, so he would rather spend money to cultivate these top shipbuilding talents in China at present.

If you are not my race, your heart will be different. You would rather sit later than sit on the warship built by your compatriots!

After the regulations were announced, foreign ship workers were satisfied with the other terms except for complaining about the five-year long contract, and could get money by answering questions? It seems that His Royal Highness really loves those yellow-skinned Chinese people.

!

Chinese ship workers (mostly ponytailed prisoners) are also very satisfied with the regulations. They can continue to do their old business and can also get in touch with Western shipbuilding that they were unable to touch before. These ship workers almost forgot about being far away in Alaska.

A relative.

Long Hao finally smiled and said, "If you perform well, you can have the opportunity to go back to Alaska twice a year. Remember, you will work for me, Long Hao, from now on, forget about the Qing Dynasty and the Pony Ship Government!"

Long Hao is now confident and is not afraid of showing off with these imperialists. It is very easy for the boatmen to show their loyalty. They cut their braids and join their household registration, even if they become Long Hao's people.

The imperial prisoners were all guilty, and the Qing Dynasty could not return, and their relatives were detained in Alaska. It was not difficult to choose. In the next few days, these Chinese boatmen cut their braids and completely surrendered to Long Hao.

After explaining these words, Long Hao, Melissa and others walked into Kunpeng Shipyard and visited the shipyard under the guidance of the frightened Italian supervisor.

The last time I came here, I came to buy the freighter, but this time, the entire shipyard has become its own industry, so Long Hao's mood is naturally very different.

Kunpeng Shipyard covers a large area, with eight self-built docks, one 5,000-ton dry docks, and three small dry docks of 2,000 to 3,000 tons. Since the Trapatoni family has been operating in San Francisco for a long time,

Therefore, the shipbuilding orders have never been cut off. Long Hao asked, even if Kunpeng cannot receive orders from now on, the shipbuilding mission in the shipyard can continue to be completed until mid-next year!

Long Hao nodded while listening. He never worried about orders and other things. He was a big funder, and he was short of ships and was self-produced and sold. It was no problem to support a shipyard!

Perhaps it was because the Trapatone family was stingy, or they didn't pay much attention to this shipyard far away in the American continent. Although the manufacturing equipment in the shipyard was complete, they were already very old, and most of them were European products in the 1870s.

Although it is not difficult to build a freighter worth thousands of tons, it is impossible to build a large ship of 5,000 tons or above.

Not to mention anything else, the number and tonnage of dry docks is far from enough!

Long Hao found Abin, the person in charge of Kunpeng, and whispered to him: "If you don't understand technology, you will leave the technical matters to those boatmen. There is no big problem in a short period of time!"

Kunpeng claimed to be acquired by Abin, a 'Qing Dynasty businessman, so after Long Hao left, the actual helm here was this half-baby.

Although Abin is good at chatting with a woman, he is not old after all. When he saw that the young master really handed over such a big shipyard to himself, his body still couldn't help but tremble: "Young, young master, can I do it?"

?”

Long Hao said seriously: "I said you can do it, don't worry, you just need to pay attention to safety and work with the Dragon Scale Army to prevent these ship workers from making trouble! The production problems can be left to professionals.

!Remember, you are my spokesperson for the young master. You and Dake and six others will be released for training in the end. Why, do you have no confidence in yourself?"

Abin thrust his chest and blushed, "I am confident! Young Master, I, Abin, will definitely not disappoint you! I am in the factory, and I will definitely guard this shipyard for you, Master!"

Long Hao smiled and shook his head: "It is not enough to just guard it. You can get familiar with it for a month or two. After a while, I will find someone to build a new dry dock, update the old equipment and machine tools here, and coordinate it at that time.

It’s up to you to arrange and plan and handle it!”

Abin nodded: "Please ensure that the task is completed!"

After walking around the shipyard for a day, Long Hao and his group lived in Kunpeng and felt the living conditions of disembarkers. Most of the foreign ship workers got married, either living in San Francisco or living a little further away.

Auckland, San Jose, got off work and ran back a lot.

Inzagi is a 65-year-old Italian boatman. His children and his wife went to heaven, and he was the only one left. Long Hao chatted with him for a while and knew that he was an "old man" from Kunpeng Shipyard, and the shipbuilding

Technology is also the best among boatmen.

Long Hao held a bonfire party on Kunpeng's beach. All kinds of Chinese and Western barbecue ingredients were set up for boatmen to enjoy. When everyone was happy and the moon was quietly showing their eyebrows, Long Hao handed over an oil.

He gave the drizzled chicken legs to Inzaji and asked, "Inzaji, have you been to Europe?"

Although Inzaji is old, he is a typical Mediterranean race. His facial features are like a knife and axe chopping. Although there are wrinkles, he can still vaguely see his handsomeness when he was young.

Inzaji took a sip of wine: "Of course I've been there! Ocean, you are not like the Chinese I think of. You are generous and generous than them! Well, you are more like us white!"

Long Hao smiled: "There are many Chinese people, and there are many enlightened people like me, but you have never seen them."

Inzaji shook his head: "No, no, I go to Chinatown every month. There are so many of them, but none of them are like you!"

Long Hao and Liu were talking, and he didn't want to get stuck on this topic: "I won't talk about this anymore! Inzaji, I ask you, do you know the submarine?"

Inzaji Jiuxing just came up and laughed: "Why don't you know? I also participated in the construction of a submarine! Well, it seems that it happened more than 20 years ago. This project was sponsored by the Northern Military Government at that time and built eight

After more than a year, I still failed in the end! The submarine was called, yelled... By the way, it was called the Wisdom Whale!"

Long Hao said in surprise: "Eight years, it took eight years to build a submarine? Have you been there for eight years?"

Inzaji smiled proudly: "How could I spend eight years in vain in that place? The next year I pretended to be sick and escaped. To be honest, the projects sponsored by the military government are really not allowed to participate in. The rewards are low, the management is strict, and there are few holidays. I can't move at any time.

Also doing military training! What do you think of us a group of shipbuilding technicians running around the lake every day? At that time, the Southerners had already been defeated and we didn't need to go to the battlefield... Haha, fortunately, I am Italian and just quit after getting sick

, the military bosses above dared not say anything!"
