Chapter 426: shipyard

Orleans was annoyed because his shipyard closed down, and hundreds of shipbuilders tried to besiege him every day. Of course, they did not want to get back the arrears of wages, but they wanted him to cancel the sale of the shipbuilding. Factory attention.
There is no way, the economic downturn, the Kingdom of Lycra has less land and more people, fewer farmers, and more people rely on the sea to eat.
Nowadays, almost half of the families in the entire port rely on the sea. In this case, how can workers who only understand shipbuilding easily give up their jobs?
"Everyone, calm down first, listen to me!" Orleans was annoyed by the siege and had to stand on the high platform to try to persuade these excited workers: "You already know that my capital chain has broken and my account is broken , Even if there is no gold coin, now I may be poorer than you, how can I continue to afford the operation of the shipyard? "
"Boss, don't we still have boats? Sell them and we will have money!" An old boatman among the crowd exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, we have a ship, but what can we do?" Not to mention this, it's okay to mention the big ships moored in the shipyard, Orleans began to sigh again: "This kind of ship, not many people would have Yes, and even if somebody is tempted, they see that we are in distress today and will not give a good price at all, so ... "
"We've been here for a lifetime, except for shipbuilding, we can't do anything, so the boss, the shipyard can't sell it!"
"I'm not planning to close the shipyard, but to transfer it. At that time, you can continue to work here, but just change your personal salary to you."
Orleans had no idea what he said.
In the Kingdom of Leica, there are several shipyards like him, and even more boatmen have mastered shipbuilding technology.
No one can guarantee that after the shipyard is transferred out, the new owner will continue to do the shipbuilding business. Even if it is true, the workers here will almost cut most of them.
After all, after more than ten years of development, this shipyard has more workers than its configuration. In the past, Orleans reluctantly abolished them only because it was a matter of sentiment.
Orleans understands this, and workers understand it better. That's why they don't want the shipyard to be sold.
One party wants to sell the shipyard and withdraw from retirement, while the other party has to ensure their work to support their families. The contradiction between the two is almost irreconcilable.
"I must sell the shipyard, but I promise that after the factory is sold, everyone will be paid a severance payment for half a year, which is a compensation to you."
"We don't compensate, we want to work!"
"Boss, do you think about it again? No big deal. We have not paid any wages for the past few months. When the shipyard comes over, will you reissue it?"
"Yeah, we can't live without you!"
Seeing the workers getting more and more excited, and the situation was somewhat uncontrollable, Orleans shouted that they were afraid they would be demolished.
Fortunately, at this time, a group of soldiers entered the shipyard and saw the headed horsewoman, Orleans could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it is an acquaintance.
After seeing the soldiers, the excited boatman calmed down and began to retreat.
They can do something to Orleans, because they know that their bosses are a little bit insecure now, and they can't do anything extreme to them, but the soldiers are different.
They are all ordinary workers. Building ships may be a good hand, but they can never resist fully armed soldiers.
"What are you doing!" One of the guards struck immediately, shouting at the gathered workers: "It's all gone, or you'll all be together!"
I have to say that the words of the guards helped.
Although workers are still worried about their future, they are even more worried that soldiers will be caught now.
"Isabelle, you came too timely. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to get out of this door today!" Orleans stepped forward sweating and thanked Isabel, only then did he find the person next to him.
No armor, no majestic majesty on the body, instead, Orleans felt a breath very similar to himself-the breath of a merchant.
"What is this friend?"
"Hello, my name is Crewe, from the Klein Chamber of Commerce of the Greek Empire." Crewe saw Orleans looking at himself, and took a step forward.
"He brought me here specifically. He is interested in your shipyard."
"Really?" Orleans had a happy look on his face, and the shipyard's transfer of things made him look sad, but who wanted to turn around at this time.
"To be precise, I don't intend to have a shipyard, but I'm very interested in your ships and the shipbuilding workers."
When Crewe denied that he wanted to buy a shipyard, Orleans was a little dim, but the spirit immediately revived when he heard the words behind him.
The main reason why the shipyard is difficult to get rid of is because of the few ships and the huge number of workers. As for the remaining things, such as the land, there is no need to worry about no sales.
In other words, the other party is really his God of Wealth!
"Orleans, don't hesitate, just change places. You can't talk about business here."
"Yes, yes, Isabel is right, Mr Crewe, please come with me."
Originally according to Orleans' idea, it was intended to invite Crewe to the best restaurant nearby.
After all, it is better to talk about business at the wine table.
After a few glasses of wine, when the atmosphere came up, everything was easy to handle.
But now Orleans is shy, so even if he had the idea, he couldn't achieve it.
In the end, Orleans brought people to his original office.
"Sit anywhere, you're welcome."
After Crewe entered the door, he did not sit down for the first time, but looked around carefully.
Although the shipyard hadn't started for many days, when the workers came in before, the workers were in trouble around Orleans, but Crewe found that the office was still clean and tidy.
"Mr. Crewe, not to the Kline Chamber of Commerce, as long as it's business ..."
"Our chamber of commerce covers a wide range of areas, including magic materials, food, and medicine. Recently, we plan to open up overseas markets, so we need a lot of ships and shipbuilders."
Orleans' face looked puzzled.
He knew the ship. After all, he traded at sea. How could he go to sea without a ship?
But what about shipbuilders? Shouldn't the Klein Chamber of Commerce be a seafarer driving a ship?
"Our chamber of commerce intends to open a large shipyard. After all, we will only have more and more sea vessels in the future."
"The business of your chamber of commerce must be very big," Orleans laughed.
Obviously, Orleans didn't believe it, but Crewe didn't plan to continue explaining.
After all, he is a customer who is spending money today. Since he is a customer, why should he explain to the other party?
Orleans obviously understood this, so after the other party smiled, they did not continue to ask, but introduced the information of their own shipyard.
"President Orleans, can you show me the blueprints for your sea boat?" Crewe raised his hand to interrupt Orleans's long story and made a relatively demanding request.
It stands to reason that the shipbuilding drawings are the secrets of the shipyard. After all, for the shipyard, the only thing that depends on the survival of the shipyard is the well-designed drawings. Once the drawings flow out, they will be given Shipyards have brought great losses.
However, to this day, Orleans has no intention to refuse, after all, he even intends to sell the shipyard. Besides, in his opinion, the person brought by Isabel should be credible.
Standing up from his original position, Orleans walked to the side of the cabinet, opened the brass lock on it, and took out a stack of thick documents.
"These are the treasures of our shipyard. In order to get them, I paid a lot of money."
Orleans wasn't lying, but it was true. Seriously, if he didn't really want to do it, these drawings would never be easily taken out by him.
Crewe nodded and opened it.
To be honest, Crewe hadn't built any ships, but before going to sea, in order to better manage the fleet, Crewe spent a month making up for his knowledge of ships.
So, even if he couldn't fully understand the drawings on the desktop, he could see the subtleties more or less.
"These eight drawings correspond to the eight ships outside."
Crewe heard that he immediately turned his attention to Orleans, who saw the situation and was unambiguous, and began to introduce directly.
Although he is a businessman, Orleans stays with the shipbuilding workers day and night, and is more or less infected with some of the workers' habits. When introducing the ship, he did not have the language of the most sought-after words, but instead focused on various data.
Not to mention, Orleans' introduction style touched the same pragmatic Crewe.
After seeing the ships outside, Crewe had the intention to buy them all. Now, after listening to Orleans' introduction, he is even more excited.
According to the other party's description, these eight ships are all built to the highest standards.
Large area, large load, fast speed, and strong ability to resist wind and waves.
Of course, these ships are not perfect, and they are also flawed.
Good performance indicates a high cost. In addition, when Orleans built them, they did not consider adding protection to them, but this should not be blamed on him. After all, not all merchant ships will encounter Shanghai. Steal.
However, after experiencing the last incident, Crewe paid much attention to this issue, especially after he understood the ambitions of the Fox clan and reached a deeper level of cooperation intention with them, Crewe knew the safety issue. It will never be less in the future.
"Mr. Crewe, do you have any complaints? If it is the price, we can discuss it slowly."
Orleans stopped paying attention to the expression on Crewe's face all the time.
From satisfaction at the beginning to frowning now, Orleans guessed that the other party was dissatisfied with the price of the ship.
This kind of thing, Orleans has experienced too much in a while ago. Seriously, he thought that this business was going to be yellow again. That ’s why I just had that rhetoric.
"Price is not the issue."
As soon as Crewe spoke, Orleans felt an onward suffocation, which made his heart beat faster.
"Then you are ..."
"President Orleans, you have been operating a shipyard for many years and have rich experience. I would like to ask you if you can add some defenses to these ships."
Isabel did not intend to participate in the conversation between Orleans and Skull. After all, she was an intermediary who was responsible for the matchmaking of the double anti-negotiations. There was no need to get too involved, but she couldn't sit still after hearing that Crewe wanted to transform the ship. Already.
"Mr. Crewe, what are you doing to install defenses on merchant ships?"
"To prevent pirate attacks."
For this matter, Crewe did not need to conceal, and told what happened before.
"We have travelled thousands of miles from the Greek Empire, and we may encounter ferocious pirates anytime, anywhere ~ EbookFREE.me ~ without the protection of the army, we can only rely on ourselves."
"The reason is quite good." Isabel nodded, believing that he accepted Crewe's statement.
No way, today's Laika Kingdom has also been attacked by a large number of pirates and suffered heavy losses, so she can more or less appreciate the difficulties of merchants going abroad.
"We haven't done the installation of defensive devices, but Mr. Crewe, you know, this kind of transformation is very expensive, and even the cost of the transformation may be more expensive than the shipbuilding itself!"
Rebuilding a ship in accordance with Crewe's requirements will undoubtedly require a large number of magicians and alchemists, and it is doomed that the price will not be cheap.
Honestly, instead of spending a lot of money to change the magic, Orleans still suggested that it would be more appropriate to hire some strong people to guard.
But Luke's idea was clearly different from Orleans.
After reaching an agreement with the Fox and Werewolf races, Crewe knew that it was impossible for his chamber of commerce to be short of gold coins, so he did n’t need to worry too much about costs. Instead, what he had to consider was how to be safe and efficient. The material Onuo a Greek Wind Empire fainted the port of the werewolf race.
Therefore, magic reform is imperative.
"President Orleans, I hope you can come up with a plan to rebuild the ship within three days and complete the delivery within one week."
"A week? Time is running out, but it's not impossible, but only if you can pay enough." At this point, Orleans didn't mind if the other party could see himself clearly, which directly explained his dilemma. : "I don't have a penny now. If I want to achieve the points you mentioned, you have to pay, and it is full, and I also need to hire magicians and alchemists. Of course, I have to Buy the appropriate magic materials. "
"Don't worry, the gold coins will be delivered in the afternoon."
