【283】Small meeting(1/2)
After the flow of people was explained, we turned around and then looked at Long Ganruo's mission.
Long Ganruo’s third task is to transport steel.
The Iron Kingdom that Carnegie relocated was stationed in the southern suburbs of San Francisco. Since the railways in Alaska have broken ground and the amount of steel needed every day is a huge amount. Therefore, during this period, Long Ganruo had to run harder and make these things urgent.
The steel needed is transported back by freighter.
Because the journey is long and the usage is large, it is impossible to rent cargo ships from other companies and is also restricted. So, Long Bo is already considering building several large 5,000-ton cargo ships himself, and this order is of course for Kunpeng Shipyard
.
Abin's confident military order just now has something to do with this.
After understanding the roughly, Long Hao waved his chopsticks and ordered: "The freighter needs to be built, and it will be built to the larger one. The 5,000-ton cargo ship Kunpeng is enough to build with its own technical reserves. Don't build more, just 2 ships.
The rest, I think 4 10,000-ton cargo ships should be built!”
Abin was shocked and hurriedly said, "Young Master, a ten-ton cargo ship? We don't have such technology! Do you want to find other large shipyards to build it on your behalf?"
Kunpeng Shipyard is not popular in the American shipbuilding industry. Not only does it have no orders, but many cutting-edge shipbuilding technologies have also been blocked under the instruction of those who are interested. To put it bluntly, if the San Francisco city government was not actually in control.
In Hao's hands (Stevenson and T.k Morgan), I'm afraid that Kunpeng Shipyard has been forcibly acquired by the US government!
"It's okay, I have my own way!"
Long Hao smiled confidently, making people feel that he was not talking drunk: "Brother Ganzi, this time the steel transportation will first use the 4 5,000-ton cargo ships I brought to ensure that you complete the tasks assigned by Long Bo!
”
Long Ganruo smiled and said, "The relationship is good. Actually, I have already taken a fancy to your four ships. I was thinking about how to speak, but whoever thought you would take the initiative to ask for it. Haha, it was a big burden for me.
.”
After talking with a smile, Long Hao asked again: "When it comes to steel, that Lord Andrew Carnegie. Where is now?"
Long Ganruo replied: "He is a workaholic. On the day the Alaska Railway started construction, he took his young daughter to Huaxia Town by boat. But I heard that you are back, and he had already sent a telegram yesterday.
He said he had set off for San Francisco and asked me to tell you, before he came. Please be sure not to leave San Francisco!"
Have something to look for me?
Just so happens that I have something to talk to this steel king who "brings his own dry food to join in".
Long Hao thought so and nodded, "I understand... I'm going to hide it from you, this time, I have made several big moves in San Francisco, and I need the strong support of all elder brothers!"
"Young Master Long is willing to let you go through fire and water, going up the mountains and down the sea. You must also support all the actions of the Young Master!"
On the Eight Immortals table, the wine glasses were raised together, pushing the banquet that had lasted for more than two hours to the highest peak.
The dinner at Hongmen lasted until the early morning of the next day. After the main table, Long Hao stood up and walked to the rest of the tables in the courtyard. He didn't say much, but the wine glasses were intertwined.
Enhance everyone's feelings.
There is no way, who made him the founder and current leader of the Dragon Scale Party?
This kind of social engagement that is comparable to a wedding banquet, even though Long Hao's internal energy has reached the realm of transformation, he was finally poured into the endless stream of wine, syrup and jade liquid!
In a daze, Long Hao was supported by Ai Shili. Finally, he managed to get over this welcome banquet...
At noon on the second day, Long Hao was shocked, Fang Shi woke up from Ai Shili's lotus arms. The first thing our Young Master Long woke up was to put on his clothes, walk out of the room, and devote himself to the intense work.
among.
The European delegation has accumulated too many things and delayed, so Long Hao must seize the time and handle it one by one.
Otherwise, the chain reaction will be a big deal!
Alas, the boss in entrepreneurship is both hard and happy!
"Young Master, are you awake?"
Wei Feng leaned against the door of the room. When he saw Long Haofeng coming out with his clothes in a breeze, he couldn't help but jump up like a spring and said, "Where are you going? I'll call a taxi!"
"Go to Kunpeng!"
Long Hao walked along the bluestone path and said while walking out: "Breeze, let Long Gan Ruo, Hong Zaimu, Gao Tianyang, Rong Shangqin... all notified! Go to Kunpeng Shipyard to find me!"
It seems that Long Hao has been prepared for a long list of names. After calling out Wei Feng Guang is a bit scary to remember. At this time, Long Hao has already walked to the gate of the Hong Mansion Courtyard.
The breeze informed people to go there, so the work of serving Long Hao would naturally be taken over by the big bull and the little bird.
As Long Hao's earliest follower, his loyalty is beyond doubt. He was left in San Francisco because he lacked the potential to become an alchemist.
The big bull drove the carriage and turned around and asked, "Young Master, why did you go to Kunpeng?"
Daniao also asked: "Young Master, you just came back. Shouldn't you go to the Beigang Navy or the Nanjiao Camp?"
No wonder Big Niu Xiaoniao and others were overwhelmed and asked what they shouldn't ask. In fact, they were loyal to Long Hao and hoped from the bottom of their heart that their young master would take the "military power" in his hands as soon as he came back.
An old saying goes, a real man should not have power for a day, but in this era, power and military power are basically equated.
During Long Hao's days in Europe, Big Niu Xiaoniao received Long Bo's "distance education" a lot, asking them to pay attention to the changes in San Francisco - especially the sailor training camp raised by Hong Zaimu and Gao Tianyang
The 'Cuban Expeditionary Force' camp under the jurisdiction!
In Longbo's view, these two teams have great development potential, one sea and one land, which will influence the situation in San Francisco and even the West Coast of the United States. It is best for the young master to brainwash the soldiers inside from time to time and establish his own glorious image.
Strengthen your dominance.
Long Bo's idea is absolutely correct. Although Hong Zaimo was loyal and joined the party, he was still wearing a layer of Hongmen's skin. Not to mention the Cuban Expeditionary Force, after a turmoil among the 'seeds', it
But it attracted many bad-minded gazes such as the Braided Court, Lord Li Zhongtang, and the San Francisco Consulate! This piece of fat is so rich that it is not something that Gao Tianyang can handle by a person who is engaged in intelligence and training.
In short, since Young Master Long is back, it is best to go to the two "barracks" as soon as possible, fight the thorns, give favors, and establish his leadership position.
The suggestions from Daniu and Xiaoniao are good, but for Long Hao, they are using the wrong place.
Yes, any time traveler traveled to the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The primary task was to grasp military power and use military power to consolidate his or her ruling foundation.
But Long Hao is different. He is a time traveler, but he is even more an alchemist!
In his mind, Hong Zaimo's rookie navy or the American and foreign new army recruited by Gao Tianyang are not resources that must be mastered or given priority.
With that skill, Long Hao would rather strengthen his alchemy strength because the army he really longed for in his heart could not find its template in this world!
Every bit requires one's own work and construction from scratch.
Beigang Navy?
The beautiful western in the southern suburbs?
Whoever wants to jump out can be used as bait to attract those hostile forces that are ill intentions and hide in the dark!
Therefore, Long Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, in my opinion, the value of Kunpeng Shipyard is much higher than the sum of Beigang Navy and Nanjiao Daying!"
The big bull and little bird are just a reminder that since the young master has made a decision, they are very loyal and no longer talking, but raise their whip and concentrate on rushing to the Kunpeng Shipyard located in Southport, San Francisco.
In less than half a year, Kunpeng Shipyard has undergone great changes. Although most of the docks by the beach are empty, the overall area of the shipyard has expanded greatly.
Abin was still in Hong Mansion while he was still in the hangover, so Hou Longtao, Dake and another foreign manager were grandly welcomed Long Hao and his party as representatives.
While walking and talking, Long Hao learned that Kunpeng Shipyard worked hard to retain talents.
First, in the remote terrain and inconvenient transportation, Kunpeng invested in building a tram track in order to facilitate the vacationing boatmen to go shopping and leisure in downtown San Francisco. Every morning and evening, there are three trams each traveling between the entrance of Kunpeng factory and the southern San Francisco neighborhood.
.
It is now late, and there is no tram to see, but the winding tram track is not fake at all.
Long Hao narrowed his eyes and commented: It is very humane, with little investment and great benefits. This tram that will drive sooner or later fully reflects the importance of Kunpeng Shipyard to its employees! This is a good experience and deserves more promotion.
Secondly, there were a lot of wasteland in Nanhai Port. After discussing with everyone, Abin took out some money, purchased it in the name of the factory, and built many new workshops and employee dormitories.
At first, the money was taken out by Abin and the six people (they reselled the mineral procurement rights for Longhao and received a certain proportion of rewards). Later, it was recognized by Longbo, and then administrative funds were obtained.
Old Stevenson, the shipyard bought more and more wastelands.
Finally, Kunpeng Shipyard also resettled more than 100 blacksmiths (the meat tickets from Hanyang Iron Factory) brought by Long Hao from Huaxia Town.
Because Long Hao was irresponsible and busy with too many things, he forgot these more than a hundred skilled people after coming to San Francisco. Later, Abin saw that these laborers were idle, so he reported to Long Bo.
Together with the talents who have been kidnapped from the motherland for more than half a year, they have all been incorporated into Kunpeng.
Therefore, the current Kunpeng Shipyard can not only build steel ships, but also process some steel accessories, such as: screws, bearings, springs, chains, barrels and gun barrels... and so on!
After learning about this, the office building of Kunpeng Shipyard has also arrived. This is a newly built four-story building that stands on the coastline because the base is piled up very high, and despite the rising tide, it cannot reach the bottom of the tall building.
These are seen by Long Hao from a circle of corrosion lines at the bottom of the rock-stack.
After entering the building, Hou Longtao led Long Hao into the conference room, and the foreigner in charge left in disappointment after being intercepted by Daniu Xiaoniao.
When he left, the foreigners had to hum indignantly, but considering that the person in front of him was his own food and clothing parents, and Kunpeng could not find any other place to treat him, he hummed for a while and still started.
I smiled: Take the tram tonight and then go to the city to have some fun!
After brewing a pot of tea that warms the stomach and relieves stasis, Abin and other people named Long Hao hurried into the conference room under the guidance of the breeze.
With a 'bang', the door of the conference room was closed, and the big bull and the little bird stood outside the door. Strictly guarded.
There were more than a dozen people coming, all of whom were Long Hao’s confidential confidants. When they saw the door closed, they all said in their hearts: Here, it’s true, the young master is going to hold a small meeting and assign tasks!
The welcoming banquet at Hong Mansion last night was mainly to facilitate Long Hao’s contact with everyone. The real secrets were all stopped when they were clicked and would not go deeper.
Therefore, Abin, Long Ganruo and others knew that Long Hao would inevitably convene the heads of various departments to hold a small-scale meeting next, but what they expected was that this meeting came so quickly!
To be continued...
