Chapter 1308 War Is Business (Third Update, Please Subscribe)

In the early morning, the gray clouds blowing from the Pacific Ocean were over the sea, and the gentle sea breeze was blowing the trees on the shore.

In Taichang Shipyard, it was as noisy as ever.

Sitting in the office, Wang Pengju flicked the globe with his fingers from time to time, listening to the sound of jingling air hammers hitting rivets outside, he seemed to be looking for something on the globe.

What is he looking for?Of course they are looking for new business opportunities.

This shipyard was founded by him alone. When it was first established, it was just a ship repair yard. From the ship repair yard to the shipyard, it has been more than 20 years. The current Taichang Shipyard not only has three berths that can build 5000-ton ships, There are even two large docks that can build [-]-ton merchant ships, and two floating docks for repairing ships. There are nearly [-] workers in the shipyards.Although such a shipyard is not too big even in Linhai, let alone Daming, a factory of this scale definitely belongs to a large enterprise.

However, in Wang Pengju's view, his shipyard has entered a bottleneck period. Ever since Taichang Shipyard took advantage of the country's encouragement of shipbuilding to develop, although many civilian ships have been built and the scale has expanded a lot in recent years, it has always been No further development was possible.

If you want to get further development, you can't just build civilian ships, but also build warships!Because building a battleship that symbolizes the cornerstone of the empire will bring extremely high benefits to the company, both economically and prestige.

Of course, the more important thing is that compared to those stingy ship owners, the military has always been very generous.In order to enhance the enthusiasm of the factory for research and development, the Imperial Navy Department has not only provided them with sufficient research and development funds, but the navy has not been too entangled in the price issue - as long as they are willing to spend the money they earn on research and development, no matter how high the price is, the navy will They pay too!
Fortunately, the navy did not spend too much money. With such strong support, the imperial navy has always maintained a world-leading technological level.

The Navy is generous and generous.

It's just that the Imperial Navy only has Nanhua Shipyard and the Navy's own large shipyards in their eyes, and of course there are some large shipyards.

A shipyard like Taichang, which is not large or small, is unlikely to be the partner of the Navy.

But what is the situation now?
It is simply a feast for the shipbuilding world.

Because of the launch of the imperial dreadnoughts, the warships built by various countries became obsolete for a while. Britain, France, Germany, the United States, Rome, and Italy built their own dreadnoughts one after another. The warships built by the big guys fell out of date overnight. Navies around the world will have to redesign metrics.In any case, at least to ensure that the country's navy does not lag behind other countries.

But most of the time, it’s just a matter of one hair and the other. When the dreadnoughts were built in the dreadnought era, the cruisers, destroyers, transport ships, and supply ships that were used with the dreadnoughts were also outdated. So almost, these also need to be updated. Well, navies from various countries always get a lot of orders, but all the shipyards are blinded by it, and anyone who has something to do with the ship will flock to it, wanting to get a share of it.

Navy is a piece of Tang monk meat. Everyone knows that it tastes delicious, but whether you can eat enough depends on your ability.

Thinking of this, Wang Pengju felt a little helpless!

Being looked down upon by others...it is really helpless.After all, Taichang's scale is really limited!Not to mention building a dreadnought, even a [-]-ton cruiser cannot be built.

Compared with those large shipbuilding enterprises like wolves and tigers, Taichang Shipyard can only be regarded as a young man who wants to eat Tang Seng's meat.I originally planned to build a lot of ships this time, so I could more or less get a piece of it.

But after a few rounds, Taichang was still empty-handed, and the navy didn't look down on Taichang at all, not because of his size, but because of his lack of experience - he had never built a warship, so naturally he had no possibility of bidding.

It sounds reasonable, but Wang Pengju is not convinced. Why does the navy require experience in building warships? Who built the warships when they had no experience at first?

Of course, the Navy will certainly not answer his question.

However, he was depressed!
Why can someone drink a big bowl of wine and eat meat with a big piece, and I don't even have leftovers from the soup?
At this moment, someone outside knocked on the heavy door, and Wang Pengju temporarily put away his depressed mood.

"Who is it, come in."

The concierge, Uncle Qin, opened the door and walked in. Standing at the door, he said:
"Boss, there is a Mr. Liang outside who wants to see you."

"Mr. Liang? I don't seem to have an appointment with anyone? Tell him I'm not free."

Wang Pengju, who was in a bad mood, naturally didn't want to see guests.

"Boss, that man said that he and the eldest young master are classmates in middle school."

"Jingchu's middle school classmate?"

Wang Pengju raised his head and said to Uncle Qin standing at the door:
"Better bring him to me."

Jing Chu's classmate, I still want to see him. After a while, a white and clean young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses appeared at the door of his office.

"Hey, isn't this Liang Dong! I remember that after graduating from middle school, you were admitted to Nanyuan Business School, and the business major is not bad,"

He still has an impression of his son's classmates.The Liang Dong in front of him was not particularly good in his studies, but he was admitted to the university in the end, so he could be regarded as successful in his studies.

After business school, I went to work in companies or companies after I came out. Generally speaking, it was not bad.

"Hello, Uncle Wang."

Liang Dong didn't have much impression of the "rich" Uncle Wang in front of him. Although he and Wang Jingchu were classmates in middle school, after all, their identities were too different, and they only met a few times.

"Sit down, please sit down. Liang Dong, how are you doing? Where are you now?"

Wang Pengju politely asked Liang Dong to sit on the sofa with a smile on his face, while he sat down on the side and asked.

"I set up a trading company myself, and have been doing foreign trade business with some foreign customers in the past few years."

"Foreign trade business."

Wang Pengju nodded repeatedly and said:

"Not bad, not bad! This business is good, and it's much better than that boy Jingchu. You said that boy, he didn't go to a good university, he didn't go to a military school, and he went to Africa all of a sudden. I'm almost two years old now. I haven't seen that kid for years... hey,"

When mentioning his son, Wang Pengju couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. It's been two years since he disappeared!

"Jing Chu is a person with great ambitions. He said when he was going to the military academy that year, he would never do better than Uncle you in business. That's why he went to the military academy. Only in this way can he achieve something. Only then can I live up to you, Uncle..."

When he said this, Liang Dong's mood was a bit complicated. In fact, he was full of envy for Wang Jingchu, because the wealth his father created for him allowed him to pursue his favorite career, unlike him who could only do it for his own sake. A few taels of broken silver went to run around.

The praise from his son's classmates put Wang Pengju in a good mood and said repeatedly.

"Hey, if you have ambitions or not, it's good to have someone by your side. By the way, is there something wrong with you coming here?"

"Things, we can't talk about things."

Liang Dong said.

"The main thing is to discuss business with Uncle Wang."

"A business deal?"

Liang Dong said casually:

"Yes, the business of building warships."
