Chapter 27 German Minister Bright
The ground was taken down three days later, and the speed was extremely fast.
After getting the land, he immediately started to get the ground. Qin Ge didn't even choose to choose for a while and recruited a group of Chinese people. The construction site was busy every day. Thanks to Sperer's rapid design, the factory design drawing was created in two days.
The automobile factory needed a lot of stamping equipment, and Qin Ge met with Bright, the German Minister to Hawaii, through Anderson.
Bright was very happy to see Anderson because everyone in the world knew that Anderson was a rich madman, no, Anderson's boss was a rich madman, with a 25,000-ton ship, no one would think it could run.
Whether Anderson is a lunatic is not a problem for Bright. As long as he has money, nothing is a problem. The 25,000-ton dock lifting equipment has solved the employment problems of many people in China.
Bright smiled and said to Anderson: "Oh, Mr. Anderson, do you want to order something?"
"Yes, I really want to order something, but it's not me who want to order, but my boss, one of the shareholders of the dock, Mr. Qin Geqin."
Bright glanced at Qin Ge quickly, but found that Qin Ge had a smile on his face and his eyes were full of confidence. The five guards beside him stood upright.
Chinese! One of the shareholders of the dock! This is a rich sucker!
Bright smiled and said to Qin Ge: "Hello, Mr. Qin."
"Hello, Mr. Bright." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"What should I drink?"
"Tea, I can't get used to coffee." Qin Ge swore that he would never drink coffee again.
"Oh, it seems that Chinese people like to drink tea." Bright said that, and asked the maid to make tea.
"Of course, Chinese people started drinking tea very early, very early." Qin Ge said.
"I know this, I don't know what Mr. Qin is going to do to build such a large dock in Hawaii?"
"Oh, I'm just a small shareholder. As for what the major shareholder wants to do, it's not something that a small person like me can know." He actually wanted to talk, but there was no way.
"I want to build a warship! Who would order a 25,000-ton cruise ship? 25,000 tons, and a speed of 10 knots is already amazing. Moreover, if it is used to build a cruise ship, why did three seats be built at once? Also, why should the dock be covered with iron? What Anderson said about the construction of a cruise ship can only be used to deceive ordinary people!" Bright stared at Qin Ge and said.
"Mr. Bright's analysis is very correct. The construction of cruise ships is just to deceive ordinary people. I have never expected to deceive you politicians." Qin Ge still kept smiling.
At this time, the tea was delivered, and Bright held up the tea ceremony: "Please."
"Please." Qin Ge picked up the tea and took a sip.
“How is it?”
"Very good!" Qin Ge said against his will.
In fact, all the best teas are in China, and even the teas that the Queen of England drinks are inferior, because Chinese tea merchants cannot sell the best tea. Most of the best teas are used for filial piety. Compared with those top-quality teas, foreigners drink similar to slags.
All these were told by Qing'er that Qing'er had done business with the dead cheap father for a while and still had some understanding of this kind of thing.
Bright put down the teacup and said, "Mr. Qin, tell me who is behind you. I am very interested. Who would build such a large dock? It is impossible for Chinese people. Could it be that Americans? Americans have the greatest interests in Hawaii, but if it were Americans, you would definitely not let you have a Chinese shareholding. France and Germany are enemies, Russia and Germany are allies. If it were them, I would not have known it, then there will be only Britain. I heard that Mr. Qin went to the British Embassy when he got off the ship."
Qin Ge knew that building such a large dock would definitely attract the attention of the great powers, but he did not expect that the Germans had arranged eyeliners in Hawaii. William II was indeed a person who participated in the navy!
As early as two years ago, William II sent people to Hawaii to investigate the news secretly, but Qin Ge was in North America at that time, so William II had no news.
After Qin Ge came to Hawaii, he first moved into the villa area built by Anderson, and then visited the steel factory and dock accompanied by Anderson. This shows that Qin Ge is definitely a key figure. William II sent a telegram to Bright a few days ago, asking him to pay close attention to Qin Ge.
Shortly after Bright received the telegram, Qin Ge came to his door and stated that he was a shareholder of the dock.
Qin Ge knew that the lies of a small shareholder would definitely deceive everyone, but as for who the major shareholder was, there is nothing to tell me. You can guess it slowly.
Qin Ge said: "France and your country are enemies, I know, but when did your country become ally with Russia? I heard that France's loan to Russia is not ten thousand or twenty thousand."
"Hmph, there are indeed people behind it. Otherwise, how could they know so clearly about Europe! Is it really a British man? If it were British, it would be enough to send the navy to come directly. What should I do to build a dock in Hawaii? And it was such a big dock, 25,000 tons, and even if it could be built, it would not be possible to drive." Bright knew that it was unlikely to get useful news, because the other party sent Qin Ge as an agent, which must be to hide his identity. He turned around and said, "If you don't talk about this, Mr. Qin said he would order some things first. I wonder if he was going to build another factory?"
"Mr. Minister is right, I plan to build an automobile manufacturing plant in Hawaii."
"Car?" Bright has been in Hawaii for four years and has no knowledge of cars.
"Yes, car. What? Mr. Minister doesn't know about car?" Qin Ge said.
"Are you new things? I've been here for four years and don't know a lot of new things."
"It can be considered a new thing, but it was the first one made by the Germans."
"Oh, can you tell me what kind of car this car is?"
"In fact, it is to install an internal combustion engine on the car. This internal combustion engine operates by burning gas and oil, so this kind of car is called a car."
"Oh, it's a car similar to the previous steam car, but it sounds much smaller." Bright thought of the previous steam car.
"Well, it's similar to the steamed cars before." I actually compared Ben Shao's BMW with that kind of failed steamed cars. Humph! Ben Shao's BMW will not be sold to this unsavory guy in the future.
"But this car factory is my sole proprietorship." Qin Ge explained.
"Social proprietorship? It seems that Mr. Qin is not willing to live under someone else's back! Mr. Qin came here this time to order equipment to produce cars in Germany? But as far as I know, this kind of equipment should not be available." Bright said.
"Well, I know this. What I ordered is just ordinary machine tools and stamping equipment."
"Oh, there must be some of these. I wonder what the quantity Mr. Qin ordered?"
“12 sets.”
"12 sets!" Bright shouted. He originally thought that Qin Ge could only order 3 or 4 sets at most, but he didn't expect Qin Ge to order 12 sets at once. You must know that the machine tools are not cheap, and Qin Ge still needs them in a complete set, which can solve the many employment problems in China.
Qin Ge took out a piece of paper and put it on the table, saying, "This is the model of the machine tool I want."
Bright took the list and looked at it. Although he didn't understand the machine tool model, he still understood the quantity. There were 3 equipment in the set listed by Qin Ge, and there were other equipment that were needed in a single piece, totaling 42! 42, how much does it cost! At least 100,000 pounds!
