0509 Patriot Lasagna
Hamilton's revolving door plan is undoubtedly an immeasurable profit point for the Chamber of Commerce in the future, although it may take several years or even ten years to realize this point.
But as the saying goes, you don’t worry about being too late.
The first round of Drake Chamber of Commerce was not digested until nearly two years ago. The Miami real estate project has the potential to become a second round, which is being promoted by Carmen.
The revolving door can be the third round of development opportunity for the Chamber of Commerce to grow, followed by the Maritime Group and the Mining Group...
Rather than saying that the revolving door burst late, it is better to say that it is just too late, which just fills the gap between mining sites and scientific research reserves.
Lorraine suddenly discovered that his 100-year business empire's plan was unexpectedly completed by Hamilton, who was delivered to the door. Next, he only needed to realize it step by step, and the Drake Chamber of Commerce would become invincible.
With this understanding, Hamilton's second project suddenly became boring. Although it was also a well-deserved big business, and compared to the revolving door with no ink on the eight characters, it was close to me, which was very consistent with the purpose of Lorraine's product promotion conference today.
That is the [American Navy Revitalization Plan].
As far as Lorraine knows, since America was established as a political group and was first recognized for the establishment of diplomatic relations, this should be the second plan for the revitalization of the navy.
The first revitalization plan was Thomas Jefferson, founding father of the United States, governor of Virginia, and member of Congress.
He also has a more important identity, that is, the political community leader of the Confederate political community, who advocated that a powerful central government was the enemy of the republic and that the re-election of the leader was a hotbed of dictatorship.
In other words, he was Adams and Hamilton's biggest political enemy.
Back then, the Navy Revitalization Plan he promoted chose the Boston Heit Shipyard, which eventually died amid opposition from the Federalists. Heit Shipyard was in a slump and was accidentally picked up by Lorraine.
How many years have passed?
Now, the political enemy's plan was handed to Lorraine through Hamilton's hand.
As a person who knows the inside story, Lorraine's eyes looked at Hamilton were full of weirdness.
Hamilton's attitude is also very strange, ambiguous, lazy, and unclear, which is completely different from when introducing the revolving door to Lorraine.
Lorraine closed the project: "What? Have you changed your camp?"
"How can you be tainted and innocent?" Han Yiji pouted, "First of all, whether it is a Federalist or a Republican, our political pursuit is to make America strong and prosperous and the people happy, and this is the basis for our cooperation."
"The situation is already different. America has won the war and gained complete independence. The continental army is gradually declining. In contrast, the country's demand for the navy is becoming stronger and stronger."
"Parliament has passed a proposal that, in order to thank France for his help in the war, American craftsmen are going to England across the ocean, and under the influence of the world's strongest navy, we use our gold and hands to build a two-story gun cabin gift ship."
"Before we have mastered the manufacturing technology of battleships, the once out of date Naval revitalization plan has become the best transition plan. What's more, even if we successfully master the manufacturing technology of battleships, these investments will not lose money. After all, a powerful battleship also requires a strong and capable brigade."
"I guess you must be asking why you chose you next."
Hamilton coughed lightly.
"Reason 1: The former Haite Shipyard has done a lot of research on the needs of the United States. Reason 2: The Maritime Group with Haite Shipyard as its core is one of the best shipyards in America and even the world today."
"Reason 3, this promotion meeting. It is said that when your invitation was delivered to the Admiralty, they were discussing the formation of the fleet."
Lorraine listened quietly, and after Hamilton finished speaking, she slowly took out her ear.
"It's so good, I want to hear the next version of perfunctory."
"Go!" Hamilton's face suddenly collapsed. He spat and said helplessly, "Well, just like you thought, this proposal has nothing to do with us."
"Is it Mr. Jefferson?"
"He is indeed one of the promoters, and he is also the main pusher, but the main force is still the guys in the Admiralty."
"They used the above reasons to motivate Mr. President. And you know, even if we are not interested in the expansion of the navy, neither me nor Mr. Adams, we cannot refuse the President's request."
This should be the truth, but Lorraine still feels confused.
"Even so, it seems that this business is not your turn, who knows nothing about the navy, to be responsible for the inspection and negotiation."
"Because I volunteered." Hamilton smiled, "Comrades, I hope I will sell you the Arc de Triomphe. This is a secret operation and has no authorization."
"In fact, both Congress and the President believe that the Arc de Triomphe is far from the time to be released. They hope we are more cautious, but you have fully proved that it is the right choice to negotiate with you in advance, and you have shown us the perspective of the consortium."
Lorraine burst out with a giggle: "So you deceived your Admiralty with our friendship, so that they thought you would do everything possible to get more for them?"
"That's it." Hamilton's face was unsatisfied. "You are not their only candidate for orders of one million pounds in five years. They want a lot, but they can give less than what they want."
"Um..." Lorraine covered her chin and pondered, "One million pounds in five years, with Drake's product system and the needs of the United States, it is indeed not enough to be a budget..."
"I guess that's the case. Although I don't understand the navy, I still understand the economy."
"It doesn't matter." Lorraine knocked on the table, "What are the specific needs of the Admiralty."
"Demand?" Hamilton took back the plan from Lorraine, flipping left and right, "It's here. Two to three frigates, eight destroyers, twenty frigates, and at least fifty communication ships. This is the skeleton of the new fleet in their hearts."
"If everything goes well, they hope to complete the tribute ship within two years, and then deliver the first self-built battleship in 1790, into this fleet, making it a marine shield that America is dependent on."
“Imagination is so rich…”
Lorraine quickly made the fleet composition in her heart.
The three Valkyrie-class ships were priced at 80,000 pounds and 240,000; the three second-generation servant gods were priced at 35,000 and 105,000; the five first-generation servant gods were priced at 25,000 and 125,000; the eight Brigs were priced at 10,000 pounds and 80,000; the twelve Brigents were priced at 4,000 and 48,000; the twenty large Sloops were priced at 2,000 and 40,000; the thirty medium Sloops were priced at 80,000 and 24,000.
According to the market price set by the Maritime Group, the cost of purchasing a ship alone reached more than 660,000 yuan, plus spare parts, maintenance, personnel, training, ports...
Even if the fleet does not go out of the ocean, this million is not enough for the Americans to use...
This means that Americans must lower the procurement costs, especially as the spending of the ship, which must be at least about 500,000 pounds.
However, if Lorraine wants to prepare all these ships, the manufacturing cost alone is more than 470,000.
He suddenly realized that this naval revitalization plan might not be a project prepared for the Maritime Group. Although Drake's design system warships are good, they are too expensive...
Thinking of this, Lorraine glared at Hamilton with annoyance.
At this glance, he suddenly discovered something new and strange.
Under Hamilton's indifferent attitude, he vaguely noticed a trace of invisible, extremely hidden tension.
The second layer of perfunctory? Lorraine suddenly thought of this possibility.
He looked down: "Alexander, I don't like this joke."
Hamilton indeed showed a regretful expression: "Okey! It seems that Mr. Adams's luck was finally lost."
"Mr. Adams?"
Hamilton suddenly became serious.
"As you think, Drake, I used our friendship to deceive the fools in the Admiralty, and convinced them that I would run around for their delusions, thus seizing this opportunity to meet you that was not paid attention to."
“But that’s just the beginning.”
"The Navy is important to us; we lack budget; we, Mr. Adams and me, and other Federalists, we love America and are willing to give all of us for her."
Hamilton suddenly opened up the topic and quickly brought it back before Lorraine reacted.
"We all know that the contract provided by the Navy won't impress you, but Mr. Adams consulted his consultant and learned that the Maritime Group's ships were far beyond the mainstream rating."
"Your Valkyrie defeated two Voyager-class battleships in Muscat, and the Lady also performed outstandingly, successfully delaying before you arrived, right?"
"That's right."
"Drake is undoubtedly our best choice. Even if our attempt to master the battleships fails, your ship can give us the power to defend the country's maritime border."
"But we can't get more budgets for the Navy to impress you, so Mr. Yatis has prepared two plans for me in private."
"Two sets?"
"The first set, first use the Arc de Triomphe to impress you and determine our future cooperation possibility. If you are impressed, you may choose to compromise under the threat of the huge interests of the Arc de Triomphe."
"While doing this will undermine the noble character of a gentleman, we believe you will not let yourself lose money, at most it will be unprofitable."
Lorraine blew.
"You are willing to sacrifice for America, but I have no obligation to sacrifice with you. What's more, I join the Arc de Triomphe program for gold, appeal and mutual trust that I have blazed with in the past with my life. If you don't give it, you shouldn't expect rewards."
"So Mr. Adams has prepared a second plan," Hamilton smiled bitterly. "He will convince the President to go north to examine Boston's ship and industrial system, and if possible, he hopes Valkyrie will accompany him on this journey."
Valkyrie... can accompany you on this journey...
The sound of cannons in the sky echoed in Lorraine's mind, stretching his eyes little by little.
