Your Majesty, I have never revealed to others you and Lord Thunder… She hurriedly defended.
I know, Roland waved his hand and looked at Gamore with interest. Where did you hear this news?
Although he did not regard this matter as a secret, the steel ship had just built a bottom shell, and it was at least several months before it was launched. It was built in a fully enclosed dock in the shallows. The workers selected were all the most skilled local residents, and it was almost impossible for outsiders to learn about this news.
If anyone among the locals is secretly connecting with the fjord, it needs to be noted.
Lord Thunder is recruiting new expeditions, which is more than ever before, and this is a huge event in the Fjord.There are also many outstanding captains in Qianyue Bay, and it is not uncommon to join his team.Gamore smiled and said, news about this magical iron ship was also from Thunder. After all, to dispel others' concerns about going deep into the waters west of the Shadow Islands, he must show some hard methods.
How many people know about this?
Not many, Your Majesty, Lord Thunder has a much higher prestige than us merchants. If the captain had not received the huge favor from the Xinyue Chamber of Commerce, he would not have revealed a word to us.
So that's it, Roland nodded, but it was extremely difficult to build such a ship, and it would be impossible to build a second ship for a while, so I can't meet your requirements.
We can understand, respectful Your Majesty, Marland said, We only hope that after you complete the transaction with Lord Thunder, you will sell us the second steel ship.For this reason, the Xinyue Bay Chamber of Commerce is willing to pay a deposit of 10% first, and immediately make up for the remaining 40% when the construction starts.
Without even asking about the price, Roland started to discuss the deposit. Once again, he realized the adventurous spirit of the Fjords, or their sensitivity to ships, were far higher than the rulers of the four kingdoms.
At least he had never seen any great nobleman paying a lot for something he had never seen before.
Wudong City also needs steel sea ships, and it is not just one. When the dock is free to take action, it may have to wait two or three years later.He replied slowly, "You have never considered sending craftsmen to participate in the construction and signing a new ten- or five-year agreement?"That might speed up a lot of construction progress, and you can get the corresponding technology afterwards.
You joked, Gamore said a little embarrassedly, we absolutely have no intention of coveting it. If the steel ship can really become the most popular partner of the Fjord Islands as Lord Thunder said, how can we dare to speak to you with such technology?
I'm not kidding.Roland shrugged easily after taking a drink.
... This time it was the two of them who were stunned.
After a while, Gamore asked in disbelief, what do you mean...will you disclose your technology to the Chain Moon Bay Chamber of Commerce?
As long as you can provide enough craftsmen, not only blacksmiths and carpenters, but also apprentices. Roland replied without hesitation, "If two thousand people are not enough, use literate civilians to get them together. How about it?"In this way, your ship will start construction next year.Of course, you still have to pay for the shipbuilding cost.
I really can't guess what you think, Your Majesty, Gamore smiled bitterly, isn't this your technique?
Roland shook his head. The steel ship I built for Thunder is now the latest technology that Winter City can do.
This is not something he is deliberately fooling around, so far there is absolutely no exaggeration... As for five or six years, who knows?
Then why... Gamore was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand helplessly, "No, I'll stop asking."Fenyue Bay is willing to reach this deal.
Why?
Because technology cannot be realized without the foundation, let alone shipbuilding technology, even if they package mines, machine tools, and converters to the fjord, they do not have enough manpower to maintain this huge industrial system.
When the first steam engine was released, the manufacturing industry was no longer an industry that could be imitated by a pair of skilled hands and a hammer.
Roland couldn't help but remember the words of the Black Sea Captain when he replied that it was necessary to build Varyag to complete it. The Central Committee of the Party, the National Planning Commission, the Military Industry Commission and the nine Ministry of Defense Industry.
Although the current steel ships are far from meeting such high requirements, they are also the result of the joint production of the entire Wu Winter City.
Except for the core power part that Anna is responsible for welding with the hull, the other parts have been distributed in batches to the assembly plant and processed by ordinary people.
It can be said that this is an inevitable trend in the development of the industrial level.
Therefore, compared to keeping technology in mind, he needs more manpower to transform his ideas into results. The population of Winter City is already rising rapidly, but he still feels not fast enough.
But he didn't need to explain this to a businessman. After five years, the other party would naturally understand it.
A wise choice, the steel boat won't disappoint you, Roland raises the glass and cheers.
What to do?
He just finished the wine in one breath to express his intention of celebrating. He explained quietly, the new etiquette of the royal capital.
Uh, is that?Then...chees.Two Xinyue Bay merchants gritted their teeth and poured all a glass of white wine into their mouths.
Not long after, Nibelon and Etiye returned to the living room and agreed to sign the contract.
Therefore, Wudong City welcomed an unprecedented huge order of 4,000 Golden Dragons for the renovation deposit (paid after the remaining 4,000 Golden Dragons) and a construction advance payment for 5,000 Golden Dragons. These are all the funds that can be received within the year, not to mention the total price depending on the subsequent construction progress.
He could already imagine Barov smiling from ear to ear. The city hall had a generous income and was more confident in arranging a job for every leader.
Seeing that the negotiations reached an agreement, Nibelon changed the topic again. Your Majesty, in addition to the ships, we also heard that you will have a large amount of perfume for sale here, I wonder...
Ms. Margaret signed a contract with me for a perfume agent half a year ago. After the opening of the Shoal Port, she was responsible for the perfume sold to the fjord islands.So if you want to buy perfume, you should contact her to negotiate, not me.
Seeing the other party showing a regretful look, Roland continued, but Wu Dongcheng is also preparing to promote a brand new product, maybe you will be interested.
Speaking of this, he clapped his hands, and the guard on duty outside the hall quickly walked in with three glass bottles.
The strange colored clear liquid contained in the bottle immediately attracted the attention of merchants.
I know, Roland waved his hand and looked at Gamore with interest. Where did you hear this news?
Although he did not regard this matter as a secret, the steel ship had just built a bottom shell, and it was at least several months before it was launched.
