Seeing Zhou Tian, ​​Zhou Hao and both of them were watching him and looking forward to the following text, Zhao Zhenzhong continued: "We need a company with ocean transportation capabilities, and this company must have strong ocean transportation capabilities in the next few years."

"Our future is in China, and the United States is just an overseas support in our development process. Moreover, due to the China Exclusion Act, it is difficult for these companies to develop and grow into what we hope. The United States can only be regarded as a talent training center, a technology development center, a financing center and a material distribution center, and it cannot become a large production base."

"Before the country is built into a large rear production base, we must build overseas into a production base that can provide us with the materials we need. Originally, I wanted to set up this base in the United States. After all, even in World War II, the United States was not violated, which is the safest. But now due to the influence of the Chinese Exclusion Act, we have to find another way out and build this overseas production base in other places."

"Whether in the United States or other places overseas, the materials produced after the base is completed must be transported back to the country through various means. Therefore, it is impossible to achieve our goals without strong transportation capabilities in the future."

"Although we can also buy ships and set up corresponding companies after the crisis breaks out, I think we should build the company first and rent two ships as if it were the case. After the crisis breaks out, we will expand the company's fleet size. If this happens, the effect should be better."

After hearing Zhao Zhenzhong's positioning of the United States and his general development ideas, Zhou Tian and Zhou Hao both pondered for a while.

"You are right. I didn't consider the matter of the transportation company. When Xiaohao returned to China, we also discussed buying a ship by ourselves, but considering that the cost of vacant ships was too high, we let it go. We originally wanted to wait until the crisis broke out before purchasing a ship to establish a transportation company. Now it seems that it is better to prepare in advance." Zhou Tian agreed with Zhao Zhenzhong's point of view.

"In fact, we can now set up a transportation company and lease a ship for your own use. After the crisis breaks out, we can purchase the ship and build our own fleet. This should be more economical." Zhou Hao put forward his own view.

"It's not bad, I agree." Zhao Zhenzhong said. Zhou Tian nodded in agreement.

"Old Zhao, you have a good position on the United States, but if you give up on the United States, where can we build a large production base overseas? Don't forget that World War II swept across the Southeast Asian Sea, and even some parts of Australia were hit by war."

"The production bases we want to build must include large-scale heavy industries such as steel and metallurgy and shipbuilding. The forces in Nanyang are now somewhat complicated. The British, Dutch, French, Americans, and local natives are all mixed together, and it is not suitable for building large-scale production bases. However, Nanyang can secretly establish a military base or a material transfer center."

"I personally tend to build overseas production bases in Australia. Although Australia suffered wars in the original history of World War II, it was already in the 1940s. By the 1940s, our domestic production bases should have been established, so we can rely on overseas bases and be self-reliant."

"Of course, there is no channel to contact the Australian authorities at the moment, but I believe that as the crisis spreads, the Australian Governor will welcome investors who can bring benefits to it. We will definitely find this channel to communicate with Australia as soon as possible."

Zhao Zhenzhong revealed some of his thoughts.

"Australia is indeed a good place. It has abundant resources such as coal and iron, which is suitable for the development of heavy industries such as steel metallurgy and shipbuilding. However, we must do it as soon as possible." Zhou Hao reminded.

"It's a bit far away to say this now. Let's go back and discuss the matter of the transportation company." Zhao Zhenzhong pulled back the topic, "I mean that after leasing a ship and establishing a transportation company, I applied for several types of container patents, and at the same time began to order our own ship - container transport ships."

"In this way, when we transport materials in the future, by applying a large number of containers, we can not only improve our transportation efficiency, but also transport some materials we need very well. For example, precious metals, heavy weapons, etc. are prohibited from exporting or entering China by the great powers."

"Of course, we may have to set up another container manufacturer. As long as we avoid the Chinese Exclusion Act, I think both the New York authorities and the Boston authorities should agree to establish this factory. Moreover, the technology of popular ocean-going transportation is not high. In addition to increasing local employment, it can also increase the demand for US steel production. This is something that brings benefits to Americans, and they should have no reason to disagree."

When Zhou Hao heard what Zhao Zhenzhong said about container transportation, his eyes lit up. However, he immediately remembered a question: "Old Zhao, container transportation is good, but if you use it now, you can only realize port-to-port transportation, and it is not possible to realize combined sea-land transportation. This will reduce the advantages of container transportation a lot. After all, there are no heavy trucks around the world that can transport dozens of tons of goods, and there are no high-grade highways suitable for this transportation weight."

"Well, this is indeed a problem. But I think there is still a way to solve it." Zhao Zhenzhong continued, "The load capacity of trucks now should be able to reach the limit of 5 tons. We can design some small containers with a load capacity of no more than 5 tons to meet the needs of land transportation. At the same time, we design and produce a steel frame that can be embedded with several small containers to form a large container. In this way, during sea or railway transportation, integrated large containers or this combination container are used, and when using automobile transportation, small containers are used."

"Hey! This idea is good!" Zhou Hao shouted excitedly, "I think it's better for us to buy the next shipbuilding company and build this kind of container transport ship by ourselves. This will not only guarantee sufficient profits, but also cultivate and train our own ship design and manufacturing talents. It's really a good business."

"Haha, I think if we set up a transportation company now, it is possible to do it through the evasion of the Chinese Exclusion Act, but if we buy a shipyard now, we may not be able to do it. At least it will be difficult to achieve this in the next two years." Zhao Zhenzhong poured cold water on Zhou Hao.

However, Zhou Hao didn't care at all, but asked: "Old Zhao, you said it will be difficult to achieve within two years. That means it will be possible in the future, right?"

Zhao Zhenzhong nodded with a smile and said, "As long as Americans taste the bitter fruit of the big crisis, they will change their attitude towards investors and even buyers, provided that you have enough funds. In history, the United States has been hostile to the Soviet Union since the October Revolution, and the two countries have never established diplomatic relations. In 1933, the United States was really unable to bear the trouble of the big crisis, and the Soviet Union showed interest in the idle industrial equipment of the United States at a time. In addition, some American forces carried out operations for their own interests, the United States and the Soviet Union finally established diplomatic relations that year. The Soviet Union then purchased a large number of advanced equipment from the United States at extremely favorable prices, which greatly accelerated its industrialization process."

"You think that under the influence of the great crisis, enemies like the United States and the Soviet Union can establish diplomatic relations for the sake of interests, and can even be said to be cheap selling of equipment. In contrast, it should not be difficult for the US government to relax the implementation of the Chinese Exclusion Act. But it is best not to delay until 33 years later."

"When did the United States and the Soviet Union establish diplomatic relations for 33 years?" Zhou Tian asked on the side.

"I really can't say when exactly, but it should be after Roosevelt implemented the new policy." After Zhao Zhenzhong answered, he saw a smile on Zhou Tian's face and asked, "What, what do you think?"

"If the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and the Soviet Union was after Roosevelt implemented the new policy, then New York State may relax restrictions on us next year." Zhou Tian explained with a smile: "Don't forget that Roosevelt is now the governor of New York State and has served until the next US presidential election. I think after Roosevelt is re-election of the governor of New York State next year, if the operation is reasonable, our situation will improve a lot."

Zhao Zhenzhong saw Zhou Tian’s confident look and was a little surprised: “Can you influence Roosevelt? Although he is not the president of the United States, he is the governor of New York and is not something that we Chinese can easily see.”

"Haha, don't worry about this, I have my own way anyway. I'll give you a surprise then." Zhou Tian smiled proudly.

"What's going on? Xiaohao, tell me." Seeing Zhou Tian keeping a secret, Zhao Zhenzhong turned to Zhou Hao and asked.

"It seems that my sister has a good relationship with the old man in the local Chinese community, so she was introduced to Roosevelt and had acupuncture for him. But that happened before he became the governor. You have to ask my sister for details." Zhou Hao was not very clear about the specific situation.

"Oh, don't ask. After two days, I will take you to Boston to meet the leader of the Chinese community." Zhou Tian interrupted Zhao Zhenzhong's questioning.

"So that's it. OK, I won't ask anymore. I didn't expect Xiaotian to have such an opportunity." After hearing Zhou Hao's brief explanation, Zhao Zhenzhong breathed a sigh of relief and thought: "If we can really buy several shipbuilding companies in New York State for construction next year, it will solve the big problem. At least, the construction of our ocean-going transportation companies and container ships can be solved, and we can also train and train shipbuilding talents two years in advance. This is an extremely critical two years."

"Don't worry, I will definitely strive to achieve this goal." Zhou Tian said confidently.

"By the way, will the New York State governor run next year not be the one we can provide financial support to Roosevelt, and acquire a large amount of materials after the crisis, increase the number of factory workers, solve the employment of some New Yorkers, increase the influence of our Chinese, and strive for the New York authorities to improve the situation of local Chinese." Zhao Zhenzhong suggested.
