The old continent is in fierce war, while the new continent is thriving.m.

Newport News Shipbuilding Company, Virginia.

There are many cranes for construction on the boat platform, which makes people feel the excitement here. At this time, in the aisle next to the boat platform, a group of people were walking and communicating.

"Now, our construction task is very busy. If you want to get the finished product as soon as possible, then our price will probably be mentioned again." Walter Hawkins, chairman of the shipbuilding company, said to the visitor.

After hearing the other party's words, Yat, the representative from Hanseatic Shipping Company, frowned, showing that he was hesitating at this time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I will beat the Germans with a fierce score!

A few days ago, the German Hanseatic Shipping Company issued a tender to them, saying that they wanted to get involved in new shipping business and needed a batch of new ships, which were to be built at the Newport News Shipyard.

At that time, Walter realized that the opportunity had come!

Newport News Shipyard originated from a coal transport terminal.

In the 1870s, the Chesapeake and Ohio Railways paved the railway connecting Richmond and Ohio Rivers, and extended to the Virginia Peninsula, connected to the Hampton anchorage, and built a coal terminal in Newport News.

In 1886, Huntington built a dock next to the dock to provide maintenance of coal ships and also provide shipbuilding services; the shipbuilding company was established since then.

After their establishment, they established a relationship with the US Navy, and later the US Navy began to sign contracts with shipbuilding companies to build warships.

Before World War I, the company built a total of six dreadnoughts for the US Navy. After World War I, the company built several aircraft carriers for the Navy.

In later generations, when they arrived in Zhan Ou, their relationship with the navy was still very close, and this was until the 21st century, even the Ford-class aircraft carriers of the United States were built by them.

It can be said that this is a shipyard with a long history and the largest private shipyard!

Yes, this is why it attracted the German side to place an order!

Why not be built in Germany? Walter could guess this reason. Now, Germany is in a European war and requires a lot of arms and weapons. Therefore, the construction periods of various German ships were very full, and even the warships ordered by the Soviet Union were delayed. In this case, it was very difficult for a German civilian ship company to place an order.

That's why they came to the United States to place an order!

This is in the interests of the shipyard.

Although the shipyard has orders from the navy, they are all their own people after all, so they can’t cheat too much, that is to say, the profit is not enough. Now, since the Germans have placed an order, of course they have to cheat them more!

Walter was quite excited at this time. The European War was a disaster for the Old Continent, but the New Continent was simply the best opportunity!

Relying on the war in Europe, many American companies have made a fortune. Large orders from Germany have made their production lines run at full speed, and the daily profits are astronomical. What makes American financiers quite satisfied is that when they explicitly refuse to accept German marks to prevent Germany from becoming waste paper once Germany is defeated, the Germans are generously willing to pay with their gold such as hard currency!

This means more significance to the United States. The European war will allow gold to flow to the United States. Then, by the end of the European war, the United States will become the richest country in the world!

Gold is a hard currency. Whoever has more reserves will have the right to speak. They can even see that the US dollar will replace the pound and become the global currency in the future!

The whole United States and the whole country welcomed the war in Europe. In this case, even the president made a statement and would not interfere with the situation in Europe.

Isn’t it great to fight in Europe and the United States to make money in war?

Now, it’s finally our shipyard’s turn! In fact, it’s not considered war money, it’s just a few small orders. If you like to invest, you have to accept your own price increase!

Looking at the other party's expression, Yat knew what the other party was thinking. Sure enough, every capitalist valued the most. Being able to feed these capitalists can make them give up their aid to the UK. These investments from Germany are worth it.

"Yes, we can't wait." After pretending to be embarrassed, Yat finally agreed: "We have done the design drawings of the entire ship. Now, we need you to carry out rapid construction according to our design drawings. We hope that within one year, you can deliver the twenty such ships we ordered."

Twenty ships are indeed a big order! As for delivery within one year, it is absolutely fine. Our shipyard is actually in a low-load operation state and has the potential to increase production at any time.

Moreover, the construction of civilian cargo ships is different from building warships. You should know that the construction of warships with only armor protection forces will cause a headache for shipyards.

What the other party proposed was a civilian ship with a standard displacement of more than 6,000 tons and a full load displacement of only tens of thousands of tons. There was no problem at all.

"Okay, we can agree, then, can we look at the design drawings?" Walter said.

Only when the conditions are agreed first can you view the design drawings, otherwise there will be leaks. The same is true in later generations. If you want to ask a decoration company to design a house, you must pay a deposit first so that the designer will show you the design drawings.

Now, the two sides have reached a preliminary intention, so Yat took out a sketch from the briefcase he carried.

In fact, to build a ship, the design drawings required to be installed at least one car. Now, Yat has just taken a sketch.

"Everyone, this is related to our company's next strategy, please keep it confidential." Yat said mysteriously: "What we need to build now is a container cargo ship that can greatly improve the efficiency of transportation. Our ship company will monopolize the global maritime transportation business in the future."

This sentence was spoken in a very big tone, which made Walter feel sarcastic. Just a small fleet of Germany still wants to monopolize global transportation business? Stop dreaming, the rise of the United States is unstoppable.

With this idea, he took the design drawing. At this time, the sea breeze was still blowing from the sea in the distance. He picked up the drawing lightly, and his eyes suddenly widened.
