At the smoky conference table, Carmen took off her gloves and gracefully picked up a coffee cup.

But she just left a scarlet lip mark on the rim of the coffee cup, and didn't touch the dark brown liquid at all.

It's as bad as ever, Mr. Haight. She put down her glass, I thought after I reminded you last time, you should prepare some high-quality products from New Granada even if you want to sell the iron, who knows...

Heite snorted coldly: I only know that coffee is for refreshing, ma'am.

Is coffee for pick-me-up? That's probably the second funniest joke I've heard in a while.

After a confrontation, the venue was silent, and none of the three master craftsmen could get what Carmen said.

Carmen gave Karen a helpless look, and couldn't help but think that if Lorraine was still the main attack this time, she would be the escort ship...

Good partners are hard to find.

She sighed, hiding her embarrassment and catching her own words: You know, Mr. Haight. Last night, Karen told me that the shipyard is actually used for shipbuilding.

As soon as the words fell, Heite slapped the table with a bang, his whole face flushed red: Pay attention to your wording, ma'am!

Should I pay attention to my wording? Carmen narrowed her eyes, showing no sign of flinching, I'm buying a shipyard, which claims to be top-notch and high-quality, but it has been shrinking its business for three consecutive years. I can’t afford it anymore. Even the top shipyards are like this, isn’t it ridiculous what Karen said?”

That's...that's a necessary adjustment for the core business...

Then what about the core business? Your so-called core business isn't the unsalable road sign, right?

Navy...Navy...

Boom!

It was a similar voice, but this time it was Carmen who slapped a stack of documents on the conference table and interrupted Height rudely.

To make a long story short, our time is precious...probably.

The Kenway Merchant Group is going to acquire your shipyard, including this office building with no aesthetic feeling, two small and old sixth-level docks, a fourth-level dock that can't go up and down, and a first-level dock that has been abandoned for many days.

As well as three water warehouses, five land warehouses and the land, docks, inventory, ships, designs, and debts under the name of your shipyard, the price is 25,000 pounds.

How many?

Although he had been prepared to hear the extremely low quotation, the moment Carmen quoted the price, Heit still thought he had an auditory hallucination.

This is the second round of offers!

In order not to have ridiculous conversations during the first quotation, in the first four negotiations, he almost said everything that his shipyard could and could not say.

Of course, it wasn't because he wanted to sell his shipyard, it was just because this woman was so hateful, she kept belittling Hyatt's precious self-esteem and pride, making him feel that he had to do something for his own shipyard. Rectify your name!

But what happened?

He confessed his sincerity, but the exchange was only five thousand pounds!

Compared with the first ridiculous offer, Carmen only added five thousand pounds!

This woman! she! yes! real! want to! buy it! shipyard! ? !

Hite's hands were shaking with anger, and his fragile heart was convulsed with anger.

He completely forgot that all he had to do was refuse, and he just wanted to figure out why the shipyard, which he regarded as a treasure, was still so worthless in the eyes of this woman after knowing everything!

Yes! Not worth a penny!

Woman! Do you know how much it costs to build a first-class dock?

I don't know, and I don't care.

Do you know how much the construction cost of the road sign is?

I don't know, and I don't care.

Then do you know how long in advance the ship's materials need to be ordered? Do you know how many oak trees the new ship lying in the No. 1 dock represents? Do you know how much the ship's materials that are sealed in the warehouse and can be used to complete a ship are worth?

I do know that. Carmen clattered through the materials in front of her, I checked your file and verified it with Keren. The new ship consumed 1,500 finished North American oak logs and emptied a tree farm in the Great Lakes. , started material selection and processing two years in advance, and all passed rigorous testing and acceptance, with a total value... 47,200 pounds.

Since you know, why do you dare to quote a price of 25,000 pounds!

That's what I want to say. Carmen took the time to close the documents, The order for ship materials has been completed, but you have only completed a small part of the settlement with the forest farm. This is also the largest debt of yours, 33,700 pounds, 1780 April 7th, that is, half a year later, is the final settlement deadline.

After buying the shipyard, we will also inherit your debts. This has been stated in my offer price. To be honest, Mr. Kenway gave me a purchase limit of 60,000 pounds, excluding seven sums of 34,862 pounds and 14 shillings. 6 pence in debt, 25,000 pounds is the highest price I can offer you, and what is wiped out is only an insignificant fraction.

But Morgan Shipyard's asking price is 80,000 pounds!

Then why did you reject that contract? Carmen laughed disdainfully.

Because...because...

Because you are unwilling.

Mocking, teasing, contempt, and coldness disappeared in an instant. The top courtesans in Europe have the ability to let every man see the dream in his heart at any time, not necessarily lust, but mother, daughter, or even a goddess.

Carmen is now Haight's haven.

A calm harbor, with slight waves, the waves undulate like a childhood cradle, and the sound of the waves is like a mother's singing and humming.

Gentle, like water.

You are not reconciled. She said softly, We only judge from the most philistine money. Morgan is not willing to inherit your debts. The so-called 80,000 pounds will be paid in six installments over three years. This is all yours. It was clearly written in the draft contract that I was shown.

They're smart. With installment, you're likely to fall behind the billing period, be tried for a huge amount owed, lose your reputation, lose your liberty. Then they can refuse to pay you the rest of the payment under the protection of the law.

Even if you barely survived the crisis, 80,000 pounds is only one-third more than our asking price, and it's not a difference in quality. In other words, our asking price is almost the same. Pen under Literature 2020

And more importantly, your persistence and dreams.

You and your team want to change the biological chain of the ocean, and you want to build a new type of ship for the weak America that can compete with a powerful country, so you undertook the naval revitalization plan. He used his wealth to build the only first-class dockyard in the United States, and built that stunning Dow Mark.”

It's your dream, and your design team's dream, Mr. Humphreys' dream.

But Morgan Dockyard is not your fellow traveler. I have investigated him. His business mainly focuses on high-speed merchant ships and small and medium-sized armed merchant ships. His business has been stable and prosperous over the years, but he has never had the will to transform.

He bought you just to better integrate the shipbuilding industry in Back Bay. Maybe he also wants to use your first-class shipyard to prop up his reputation. For example, after the war is over, he can win one or two maintenance orders from Britain, France or Spain to expand his business. People and connections all over the world.

But he doesn't need your team, let alone your dreams and persistence. What is invaluable to you is just a pure cost to him, a cost that needs to be avoided.

Having said that, Carmen paused for a moment, and then straightened her slender waist, as if a cobra had locked onto its target.

Sincerity almost overflowed from her speech.

Mr. Haight, do you know? The ups and downs and changes of the past six months have cast a veil in front of your wise vision, making you unable to see your surroundings clearly, and unable to distinguish friend from foe.

Do I...have any friends?

I don't know if there were any before, but now there are. Do you know why Mr. Kenway insisted on buying your shipyard?

Profit-seeking? Speculation?

Profit-seeking, speculation... Carmen raised the corner of her mouth, Do you believe it?

Hayter blushed again, this time not with anger but with shame.

Carmen's whisper sounded at the right time: You are an idealist, and so is he. He has similar dreams to yours. He said that shipbuilders and sailors are born as one. What do you think?

Haight's eyes lit up: Mr. Kenway, he believes that the new type of ship can be successful? He wants to pilot the new type of ship?

He wants to drive a new type of ship. Carmen affirmed with almost the same sentence pattern, He solemnly asked me that if you are willing to sell the shipyard, he is willing to make a huge concession.

First, the name of Hight Shipyard is reserved and will not change due to changes in shareholders.

Secondly, according to your wishes, you can retain 10% of the shares at a price of 6,000 pounds; you can continue to serve as the general manager and manage the shipyard within the scope of authorization; you can retain your design team, and the business group is willing to provide a A long-term contract with a good salary, starting from ten years, free to stay or stay.”

Thirdly, Mr. Kenway is willing to fund and continue to build new ships, which are still led by you and your team. Of course, because our needs are different from those of the Navy, the drawings need to be slightly modified.

This is our sincerity, our wish. We sincerely hope to see you succeed, and sincerely hope to show those stupid politicians what their arrogance has made them miss! What have they lost!

Height listened blankly, while Humphreys muttered to himself blankly: Let those stupid politicians see, what exactly did their arrogance make them miss?

The two looked at each other, and the already withered heart suddenly ignited a fierce flame!

They said in unison: Of course I missed a great work! An epoch-making work!

Carmen smiled.

She stood up, and the little devil's whispers rang through the meeting room again, softly, softly, lingering like light smoke, so greasy that one's hairs stood on end.

Such a generous contract is a gift from God. What are you waiting for, Mr. General Manager? Is it the deed and seal? Where are they?

The safe in the office... The excited Heite subconsciously regarded Carmen as his assistant to the manager, and ordered casually, You know where the safe is. Every designer has the same habits. By the way, the password is 7647 , the day when the first oak was felled in the Werned Forest Farm.

Okay, I'll fetch it for you.

Carmen stood up with a smile, and flew out with dancing steps like an elf.

Karen looked at her back fearfully like a sea monster, and suddenly realized: Sorry, she is a layman, I have to tell her the habits of designers, Mr. General Manager!

Go, go! Heit excitedly toasted, and Humphreys clinked glasses magnificently with coffee instead of wine, Don't delay the great moment, sir, we will wait here.

Karen chased after Carmen in a panic, and grabbed Carmen's sleeve in the deserted corridor.

Damn it, Carmen! The captain said that the base price for the purchase of this shipyard is 40,000 yuan, and that doesn't include debt!

But he clearly intends to inherit the debt.

That's because this shipyard is worth the price!

Seeing Karen's excited expression, Carmen frowned and pulled her hands lightly.

She straightened her wrinkled cuffs and said slowly, Calm down, Karen. Don't forget that the shipyard and the ship are toys for you and the captain, but the acquisition requires everyone to pay for it.

Of course we support the Captain's dream of wanting a new toy, even if it is costly and may not pay off for a few years. Because he deserves it, and that's how he supports our dream.

But business is business, don't let boring sense of identity control your rationality.

Rationality! This business is profitable. We used 19,000 pounds in cash and 35,000 pounds in half-year debt to buy 90% of a top shipyard worth about 150,000 pounds. What he got was to realize his dream, the opportunity to prove himself, and the title he couldn't give up.

No one has suffered because of this, even if he calms down, no one will be hurt. Why do you think I cheated him?

Ideals are priceless. Only when they are expensive, people will know how to cherish them and try their best. Hite was lacking in this before, but now it is complete.

Remember, God sent us here to save him.

Carmen turned around briskly and smiled.

Now, Mr. Future General Manager, please tell me what the hell are the damn designer habits?

Your beliefs have probably been polluted by paganism... Karen muttered in a low voice with a dark face, and as if he had figured out something, he stomped on himself, It is the only design wall chart in the office, and it is usually sealed in glass. , and his own signature on it! The safe is behind that wall chart!

Carmen lifted the hem of her skirt to express her gratitude, and when she turned around, an envious expression appeared on her face.

Tch, men who don't grow up...
