Alchemy Greater China

After explaining the flow of people, we still turn around and look at Long Ganruo's mission.

Long Ganruo's third task was to transport steel.

The Iron Kingdom that Carnegie moved to is stationed in the southern suburbs of San Francisco. Since the railway in Alaska has broken ground, the daily demand for steel is a huge amount. The needed steel is transported back by freighter.

Because of the long distance and heavy usage, it is not cost-effective to rent freighters from other companies, and the restrictions are too great. No, Longbo is already considering building several 5000-ton large freighters by himself, and this order is of course for Kunpeng Shipyard .

Abin's confident military order just now has something to do with it. [

Knowing the general situation, Long Hao waved his chopsticks and gave instructions: "The freighter needs to be built, and it has to be built bigger. The 5000-ton freighter Kunpeng can be built with its own technical reserves. Don't build too many, just 2 ships. For the rest, I think four 4-ton freighters should be built!"

Abin was astonished, and quickly said: "Young master, a [-]-ton freighter? We don't have such technology! Could it be...do you want to find other large shipyards to build it for you?"

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 instigation of interested people. In the hands of Long Hao (Old Stevenson and TK Morgan), I am afraid that the Kunpeng Shipyard has now been forcibly acquired by the US "government"!

"Well, I have my own way!"

Long Hao smiled confidently, making it look like he wasn't talking drunk: "Brother Ganzi, this time the steel transportation will first use the four 4-ton freighters I brought to ensure that you can successfully complete the task that Long Bo assigned! "

Long Ganruo said with a smile: "That's a good relationship. In fact, I have already taken a fancy to your four ships, young master. I was thinking about how to speak, but who would have thought that you would propose it yourself, haha, it relieved me of a big burden. .”

After talking with a smile, Long Hao asked again: "Speaking of steel, Mr. Andrew Carnegie. Where is he now?"

Long Ganruo replied: "He is a workaholic. On the day the Alaska Railway started construction, he took his young daughter and took a boat to Huaxia Town. But I heard that you are back, young master. He sent a telegram yesterday. He said that he had set off for San Francisco, and asked me to tell you, the young master, before he arrives. Please don't leave San Francisco!"

What's up?

Coincidentally, I also have something to chat with this steel magnate who 'brought his own dry food and defected'.

Thinking about this, Long Hao nodded and said, "I see... To tell you the truth, this time, I have a few big moves in San Francisco, and I need the full support of all elders and brothers!"

"Young Master Long, put 1 hearts, I will go through fire and water, go up mountains and go to sea. I will support all actions of Young Master!"

On the table of the Eight Immortals, the wine glasses were all raised.Bring the banquet that has lasted for more than two hours to a peak.

The Hong Men's dinner lasted until the early morning of the second day. After finishing socializing at the main table, Long Hao stood up again and walked around the other tables in the courtyard. He didn't say much, but the wine glasses were intertwined.After all, it enhances everyone's feelings.

No way, who made him the founder and current leader of the Dragon Scale Party?

This kind of entertainment is comparable to a wedding banquet. Although Long Hao's inner strength has reached the peak, he was finally poured down by the endless stream of wine and jade!

In a daze, Long Hao was supported by Ai Shili.Finally, I managed to survive this welcome banquet...

At noon on the second day, Long Hao was shocked, and Fang Shi woke up in Ai Shili's lotus arms and jade bed. The first thing our young master Long woke up was to put on his clothes, walk out of the room, and devote himself to intense work among.

There are too many things accumulated and delayed during the trip to Europe, Long Hao must hurry up and deal with each one. [

Otherwise, the chain reaction will be huge!

Hey, the boss in starting a business is both miserable and happy!

"Master, are you awake?"

Breeze leaned against the door of the room. When he saw Long Hao coming out of his clothes in a hurry, he couldn't help jumping up like a spring, and said, "Where are you going? I'll call a car!"

"Go to Kunpeng!"

Long Hao walked out on the bluestone path, and said, "Breeze, inform Long Ganruo, Hong Zaimo, Gao Tianyang, Rong Shangqin... all of them! Find me at Kunpeng Shipyard!"

It seemed that Long Hao had been prepared for a long time. After calling out a long list of names, the scenery was a bit choking on the memory, and at this time, Long Hao had already reached the gate of the Hong Mansion compound.

Breeze hurriedly notified people to go, so the job of serving Long Hao would naturally be taken over by Daniel and Xiaoniao.

As Long Hao's earliest follower, Daniu Xiaoniao's loyalty is unquestionable. It was only because he lacked the potential to become an alchemist that Long Hao stayed in San Francisco.

Daniel drove the carriage, turned around and asked, "Master, why did you go to Kunpeng?"

Da Niao also asked: "Master, you just came back, shouldn't you go to Beigang Navy, or Nanjiao Daying?"

It's no wonder that Da Niu and Xiao Niao are presumptuous and ask questions that shouldn't be asked. In fact, the two of them are loyal to Long Hao and hope from the bottom of their hearts that their young master will hold the "military power" in his hands as soon as he returns.

There is an old saying that a man cannot have power for a day, but in this era, power and military power are basically equated.

During Long Hao's stay in Europe, Da Niu and Xiao Niao have often received "distance education" from Uncle Long, asking them to pay attention to the various changes in San Francisco, especially the sailor training camp initiated by Hong Zaimo and Gao Tianyang's escrow. The 'Cuban Expeditionary Force' camp!

In Uncle Long's opinion, these two teams have great potential for development. One sea and one land 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 fighters inside from time to time and establish his own glorious image. Strengthen your dominance.

Uncle Long's idea is absolutely correct. Although Hong Zaimo was loyal and joined the party, he was still wearing a layer of Hongmen's skin after all, let alone the Cuban Expeditionary Force. However, it has attracted the eyes of the braided imperial court, Mr. Li Zhongtang, the San Francisco consulate and many others with bad intentions!This piece of fat is full of oil and water, and Gao Tianyang, who is engaged in intelligence and training, cannot handle it.

In short, since Young Master Long is back.Then it is best to go to the two "barracks" as soon as possible, beat the thorns, show favors, and establish their leadership.

The suggestions of Daniel and Xiaoniao are good, but for Long Hao, they are in 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 is to master military power and use military power to consolidate one's ruling foundation.

But Long Hao is different, he is a time traveler, but he is even more an alchemist!

In his mind, neither Hong Zaimo's rookie navy nor Gao Tianyang's recruitment of new American and foreign troops are resources that must be mastered, or should be prioritized.

With that skill, Long Hao would rather strengthen his alchemy strength, because the army he really desires in his heart.Its template cannot be found in this world! [

Every bit of it needs to be labored by oneself and built from scratch.

Beigang navy?

Southern Suburbs?

Anyone who wants to jump out can just be used as a bait to draw out those hostile forces hiding in the dark with malicious intentions!

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!"

Da Niu Xiaoniao is just a reminder, since the young master has made a decision.They also politely stopped talking, but raised their whips.Concentrate on driving and drive towards the Kunpeng Shipyard in the South Port of San Francisco.

I haven't seen it for half a year, and the Kunpeng Shipyard has undergone great changes. Although most of the docks by the beach are empty from a distance, the overall area of ​​the shipyard has been greatly expanded.

Abin is still hungover.They were still in the Hong Mansion, so Hou Longtao, Dake and another foreign manager, as representatives, grandly received Long Hao and his party.

Talking while walking, Long Hao understood.In order to retain talents, Kunpeng Shipyard has made great efforts.

First of all, in the remote South Sea Port with inconvenient transportation, Kunpeng invested in the construction of a tram track in order to allow the boatmen on vacation to go shopping and leisure in downtown San Francisco. Every morning and evening, there are three trams running between the entrance of Kunpeng Factory and the southern block of San Francisco. .

It was already afternoon, and there were no trams to be seen, but the winding and endless tram tracks could not be faked at all.

Long Hao narrowed his eyes, and commented: "It's very humane, the investment is not big, and the benefits are not small. This tram that runs in the morning and evening fully reflects the importance that Kunpeng Shipyard attaches to its employees!"It's a good experience, well worth it.

Secondly, there is a lot of wasteland in Nanhai Port. After discussing with everyone, Abin took out part of the money and bought it in the name of the factory, and built many workshops and staff dormitories.

At the beginning, the money was the private money of the six members of Abin (they resold the mineral purchase rights for Long Hao, and there was a certain percentage of rewards). Old Stevenson, the shipyard bought more wasteland and built more buildings.

In the end, the Kunpeng Shipyard also settled down more than a hundred blacksmiths (the gang of meat tickets from Hanyang Iron Works) brought by Long Hao from Huaxia Town.

Because Long Hao was irresponsible and busy with too many things, he forgot about a hundred skilled people after he came to San Francisco. Later, Abin saw that it was a pity that these labor forces were idle, so he reported to Long Bo. Together with the talents who have been abducted from the motherland one after another for more than half a year, they were all merged 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, gun barrels... and so on!

Knowing this, the office building of Kunpeng Shipyard has also arrived. This is a newly built four-story building standing on the coastline. Because the foundations are piled up so high, even if the tide rises, it cannot reach the bottom of the building.

These were seen by Long Hao from a circle of corrosion lines at the bottom of the rock-stacked base.

After entering the building, Hou Longtao led Long Hao into the conference room, while the foreign manager left angrily under the interception of Daniel and Xiaoniao.

When he was leaving, the foreign manager had no choice but to hum indignantly, but considering that he was in front of his own parents, and the treatment Kunpeng gave him could not be found anywhere else, so he moaned for a while, and then grinned. With a smile: just take the tram at night, and then go to the city to find some fun!

After brewing a pot of tea that warms the stomach and unblocks silt, Abin and the other people Long Hao called hurriedly walked into the conference room under the guidance of the breeze.

With a bang, the door of the conference room closed, and Daniel and Bird stood outside the door.Strict guard.

There were more than ten people who came, all of them were Long Hao's confidential confidantes. When they saw the door closed, they all said in their hearts: Here we come, indeed we have come, the young master is going to hold a small meeting.Task assigned!

The reception banquet at the Hong Mansion last night was mainly to provide convenience for Long Hao to communicate with everyone. The real confidential secrets are only clicked and will not be in-depth.

Therefore, Abin, Long Ganruo and the others knew that Long Hao would definitely call the heads of various departments to hold a small-scale meeting, but to their surprise, this small meeting came so quickly!

Just disembarked yesterday evening.How much time has passed since I drank until early this morning? Why did the young master get up and run to the Kunpeng Shipyard in one breath? !

Our dear young master, it is right that you are concerned about work, but you must take care of your health!

Everyone in the conference room thought so. Abin, who had just sobered up, shook his still slightly dizzy head and said, "Master, you just arrived in San Francisco, so you might as well rest for one more day. You often say that the body is the capital of revolution." , Career is important, but the body must not collapse!"

Abin's words represented the aspirations of everyone, so there were endless echoes.

Long Hao put down his tea.He smiled and said: "I know my body best, and I appreciate everyone's kindness, but I have internal strength, and mere drinking can't hurt me!"

"Then you should also pay attention, young master. You are still young, don't hurt your foundation and get to the root of the disease, or you will get worse in the future!"

Only Long Ganruo dared to say such straightforward words that were a bit taboo.

After listening, everyone was stunned, and then nodded in agreement like a rattle.

Long Hao's tall and precocious figure made people often ignore his actual age. After Long Ganruo reminded everyone, everyone suddenly realized: Our young master is only 14 years old!

"Gaozi, don't say any more!"

Long Hao put away his smile, knocked on the table, and calmed everyone down: "Looking at everyone's performance, I think it is necessary to sound the alarm for you before the meeting!"

Alarm bells?

Ring what alarm bell?Where did we go wrong?

More than a dozen people were a little dazed.

Long Hao said: "Everyone is a party member. I believe everyone can memorize the purpose of the Longlin Party, the goals it established, and the party constitution written down! But these things should not only be said with your mouth, but you must always ponder them in your heart! Career is important, but the body cannot be broken? Do you feel that you have made a lot of achievements, and you can rest on the credit book and move forward slowly?"

"Yes, in the past two years, we have worked hard and created many miracles since we started! We discovered gold mines, established Huaxia Town, and took in many suffering compatriots in the country. Moreover, we are now stationed in major cities in the United States. Stabilize your feet... So you think, you should take a breath, take a break, think carefully before moving forward?"

"Wrong, if you think so, you are very wrong! Now the world is changing rapidly. I came back from Europe and saw and felt more! Any country over there can create more wealth than our motherland. How many! Any big power over there has an army that can destroy our Huaxia Town ten times! What are we? We just picked up a big bargain in Alaska by chance, and we just took in tens of thousands of poor and weak compatriots! With threats all around us, what right do we have to slow down, what right do we have to throw a feast to celebrate!?”

"Yesterday's banquet was unavoidable. If Hongmen hadn't arranged it, I wouldn't have attended it at all! You guys are fine. I didn't say anything at the banquet, but you all got drunk one by one. If I didn't let Breeze call you one by one Wake up, are you going to sleep until the sun goes down? This is a waste of a day, I ask you, Abin, what about your shipyard? Ganzi, what do you do with so many tasks on your shoulders? Lao Gao, don’t you Did you go to the camp in the southern suburbs? Uncle Hong, are you not going to train sailors? Rong Shangqin, you..."

Long Hao crackled and scolded, his words were so harsh and sharp that more than a dozen people present stood up in fright, sweating profusely, their chests were astringent, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

Among them, although Hong Zaimo was Long Hao's default father-in-law, he was also pale, pursing his blue lips and saying nothing: Yes, the young master is right. I didn't notice it without his reminder. , My heart has indeed begun to slack off!Think about it carefully, we have a lot of weaknesses, what capital can we really slack off?

In fact, it is no wonder that Hong Zaimo and the others were lax. First, the two bases of Huaxia Town and San Francisco are indeed thriving. Money and talents are increasing all the time. It is a thriving scene. Second, Long Hao brought back a huge reputation from Europe. , Advisers like Rong Shangqin concluded that with the umbrella of the British title, any pressure from the US "government" can be ignored.

It was these appearances of prosperity that made them forget: the hundreds of millions of compatriots of the Chinese nation were still suffering on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and the Huaxia Township seemed to be enjoying a prosperous time, but in fact it was a meadow. , can't stand the big storm!

As long as the US "government" rips off its face and sends troops to Alaska and San Francisco, with the current strength of Huaxia Town, there is no chance of fighting back at all, and it will be crushed to pieces!

Long Hao ran here and there, being the 'flattering' queen and kidnapping the princess, in order to gain more time for 'freezing protection' for the fast-growing Huaxia Town?

It's annoying that these guys don't know how to cherish and waste time!

Hong Zaimo wiped off the sweat from his forehead, bowed his head and said, "Wake up the dreamer with one word, we are indeed getting carried away, Young Master Long, your lesson is too timely!" (To be continued...)
