Chapter VII Investing in Shipbuilding Plants
"It seems that before Mr. Zhou, you came to me this time, you must have investigated all my details clearly!"
"You actually know such a secret matter!"
"Although Boss Du has shares to invest in my company, I still have the right to do it here!"
"So I can still make a decision about whether you want to build a seaplane mothership!"
"But since I don't have much experience in building this seaplane mothership, I need some time to find someone to help with designing and manufacturing!"
"As for the price, I also need to ask and calculate it before I can quote it!"
After another shock,
General Manager Yang Junsheng responded seriously.
Because his company's current main business is not seaplane motherships, but the construction of civilian ships in the Yangtze River Basin.
So when he wants to create a business that he is not very familiar with, he must take it seriously, including the budget, and it also needs to be calculated carefully.
Even ordinary seaplane motherships that are transformed by merchant ships cannot be careless.
Regarding General Manager Yang Junsheng's attitude towards business seriously,
Zhou Wenhua was very satisfied.
Although the seaplane mothership I want to build now is a simpler type of merchant ship transformed after World War I, he also hopes to find someone with a rigorous and serious work attitude to build it.
Especially in terms of budget, it needs to be carefully calculated.
During World War II, the construction cost of a single Yamato battleship was more than 137 million yen, while the construction cost of the Yunlong aircraft carrier was as high as 92.442 million yen.
Second, in later generations, the cost of an aircraft carrier was over 10 billion yuan. If calculated based on the lifespan of an aircraft carrier, it would be consumed in hundreds of billions of yuan.
Moreover, the annual maintenance costs of aircraft carriers in later generations cost about billions a year, at least hundreds of millions of yuan, which is simply a beast of gold swallowing in the ocean.
And it does not count the costs of an aircraft carrier fleet attached to an aircraft carrier, and the costs of a carrier-based aircraft fleet.
Therefore, the national power of later generations only created one aircraft carrier, which was only a few aircraft carriers. It was relatively Western, and it was late for the United States to manufacture it.
So even if Zhou Wenhua wanted to build a seaplane mothership during World War I and World War II, it would take a lot of money. He also calculated the cost of seaplanes or carrier-based aircraft he would need to buy in the future, either to manufacture, or to carry-on aircraft.
So Zhou Wenhua's roughly budgeted expenses were the Xianning warship of the Navy built during the Republic of China. The shipbuilding funds were about 450,000 national coins, and the second warship Yongtuo warship built during the Nanjing government era, which was about 960,000 national coins.
In short, it is no more than one million national coins.
"I'll ask General Manager Yang for the manufacturing and design of the seaplane mothership!"
"Now I'll talk about it too. The second thing is that the reason why I know that Boss Du is the chairman behind your new dock is not because I went to take your details for no reason and investigate it!"
"But I want to invest in your China-China Shipyard, and the money I invested is three times more than Boss Du!"
"That's why I understand that your current shipyard is sole proprietorship, or a joint stock system!"
Shortly after General Manager Yang Junsheng finished speaking, Zhou Wenhua continued to come to him by himself and said.
"What!"
"You want to invest in my shipbuilding factory?"
"And there is still three times more investment than Boss Du?"
Upon hearing this, General Manager Yang Junsheng was shocked for the third time.
He also didn't expect that he could be told by a young boy in one day and said a few times.
"Yes! I even brought the checks I gave you!"
"This is the first fund I injected into your company. This is 500,000 national currency! There are also HSBC checks in it!"
"Because you are someone I trust!"
Seeing General Manager Yang who was surprised again, Zhou Wenhua also responded calmly.
"But why do you want to invest in my shipbuilding factory? I'm just a private shipbuilding factory!"
"And it's one I just started again!"
For Zhou Wenhua, he gave himself a check of 500,000 yuan at one time.
General Manager Yang Junsheng became a little alert and asked back.
And his eyes were sharp, staring at Zhou Wenhua, ready to see through his thoughts.
"The reason why I want to invest in your company is that I have loved ships and aircraft since I was a child, so I hope that when I grow up, I can have my own shipbuilding factory and aircraft factory!"
"Second, you should be very clear that the country is weak and backward will be beaten!"
"Now we not only let foreigners come in the country, but also set up some concessions to occupy our territory. Even the Japanese invaders are ready to move. My intuition tells me that these Japanese invaders will definitely launch wars against us in the future!"
"Just like the "September 18th Incident" that had just passed less than a month, this time they occupied several provinces in the northeastern side of our country. Next time their wolf ambitions will be even more inflated and unrestrained!"
"So I invest in your shipbuilding factory, hoping that one day, I can create new ships and aircraft, as well as water motherships to deal with the Japanese army!"
"At least, I also hope to contribute to the science and technology of our country's shipbuilding industry and aircraft manufacturing industry!"
"Finally, I hope that after I invest in your shipbuilding factory, you can arrange for me to learn all the shipbuilding techniques and knowledge, including internships in boiler factories, shipbuilding internships in wood factories, internships in fitting factories, internships in drawing rooms, internships in lofting rooms, internships in design drawings, etc. I have to learn all the knowledge and techniques that need to be learned about shipbuilding technology!"
"If you agree with my request, then you can receive this check of 500,000 yuan and let me invest in your China Shipyard!"
"This is just my first investment, and there will be more in the future!"
Zhou Wenhua was also very frank about General Manager Yang Junsheng's vigilance and doubts and said that he had thoughts.
“…….”
General Manager Yang Junsheng.
After hearing this, he became silent.
And his brain was also thinking quickly whether to accept the investment of Zhou Wenhua, a young man.
"Don't you need the consent of your father?"
"Will you chase me and take it back then?"
After thinking for a while, General Manager Yang Junsheng asked back.
"Now, all the business, wealth turnover and expenditure of the Zhou family are left to me to decide and handle!"
"My father will not chase you to get the money back, and I believe in your ability. With more funds to start your business, you can make more money back. Are you still afraid that my father will recover the 500,000 national coins?"
Zhou Wenhua smiled slightly and responded confidently.
"Hahaha! OK!"
"Mr. Zhou actually looks at me, Mr. Yang!"
"Then I welcome your investment very much! From today on, my China Shipyard will have two chairman, one is you, and the other is Boss Du!"
"But I need to tell him what you joined!"
"Or it would be difficult for me to explain this matter. No matter how you say he is not a person who is easy to mess with!"
"But I believe he will not stop your Zhou family from joining!"
"The Zhou family is not a simple family either!"
Looking at Zhou Wenhua with a confident expression,
General Manager Yang Junsheng was also happy, laughing and making the decision to agree to Zhou Wenhua's proposal, and also shook hands with Zhou Wenhua enthusiastically and responded.
"Well! If Boss Du has any opinions, he can come to Zhou's house to find me at any time!"
"I will convince him to agree!"
After hearing this, Zhou Wenhua still responded confidently.
"OK!"
General Manager Yang Junsheng also nodded in agreement.
At this moment, he was also very happy that he could join such a confident shareholder.
Moreover, from this conversation, he discovered that Zhou Wenhua and ordinary boys were completely different.
Mature, confident, and rich and backgrounded.
So for Zhou Wenhua's joining, he also felt that he made the right choice.
after,
The two of them also communicated with each other, how to arrange for Zhou Wenhua to learn about shipbuilding knowledge and various learning issues, including going to the shipbuilding factory for internship experience, and practicing the shipbuilding process with shipbuilders.
