"I think this is enough."
"What do you think of this military uniform design?”
Zhu Shengkai sat behind his desk in the Los Angeles City Hall.
In the past, this seat belonged to the number one person in Los Angeles, David Donald. However, our beloved and amiable Los Angeles chief, Mr. Donald, and other Los Angeles councilors were bowing to Zhu Shengkai with smiles on their faces.
"Your Highness, your design is really wonderful!”
"It's simply a design that far surpasses this era!”
"How can there be such a high-end design?”
Donald and the others naturally boasted about Zhu Shengkai's military uniform design and gave him a round of flattery.
Although the clothing design he took out was also copied from the military uniform design of the American army in World War II.
However, His Majesty Zhu Shengkai was not ashamed of plagiarism at all. Because in this era, if he took it out first, it was his design.
There wouldn't be any so-called space-time police arresting Zhu Shengkai for plagiarism.
"The material and price of this military uniform are very low, but it is sturdy enough.”
"The market price of such a set of clothes should be more than twelve dollars.”
"However, our price for the US military is set at eight dollars per set.”
"It's sturdy, durable, cheap, and good-looking. It far surpasses the designs of this era.”
Zhu Shengkai took out several designs in a row.
There were also several sets of finished products.
Soldiers 'combat uniform, soldiers' military uniform, soldiers 'formal attire, and officers' formal attire.
There were also three sets for spring, summer, and winter.
The prices ranged from six to tens of dollars.
The cheapest ones were for ordinary soldiers, while the most expensive ones were for high-ranking military officers of the US Army.
Different people, different prices, different choices.
The cheapest set of soldier's combat uniform, if manufactured by the automated textile factory in Xindu, would cost about two US dollars.
Zhu Shengkai's order to the US Federal Army was already at a discounted price.
Zhu Shengkai earned three times their price with tears in his eyes.
Zhu Shengkai was not the only one satisfied.
Donald and the other members of the Los Angeles Senate were also very satisfied.
Such a fashion design that transcended the era gave people a sense of grandeur.
Moreover, the price was not expensive. It was very cheap.
It was a large-scale order for the military. In this era, the US Federation's military would naturally use whatever was cheap and useful.
After all, the United States of America in this era was not the world overlord of the future, the world capital group.
They were not particularly rich.
"These designs will be mailed to the American Federation's military, using the name of the North American Daming Clothing Company in Los Angeles.”
"Right, Donald, I'll have to trouble you to come personally this time.”
"Go to the capital of the United States Federation and pay a hundred thousand dollars as a bribe.”
"Also, don't worry about making a wasted trip. I'll give you 5,000 dollars for the travel expenses.”
"Oh right, after you arrive, you can contact the military officers of the US Federation and promise them in the name of the North American Great Ming Company.”
"As long as they make a request and want their military uniform to have the personal style of their own army, then our North American Big Ming Company can also modify the design and add some patterns.”
Zhu Shengkai added.
To be honest, the US Federation was probably the only case in the world where the new regime was still very corrupt.
The corruption of the American Federation's officials was an old tradition that had existed since their founding.
After all, it was a capitalist country.
In order to ensure the success of the bidding, Zhu Shengkai also made double insurance. Not only were the products of high quality, but he also paid bribes.
Donald was very surprised and almost knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Shengkai."Your Highness, your generosity is touching.”
Zhu Shengkai was naturally happy to give the money used for bribery. After all, it was not his money.
It was provided by the generous Mr. Robar, who was already dead.
Zhu Shengkai seized and annexed two of Luo Ba's companies.
The railway company, the shipping company.
He obtained 270,000 US dollars in assets, all of which were used as the company's working capital.
The fixed assets of these two companies were roughly estimated to be about a million dollars.
As well as 70,000 US dollars in Roba's personal savings.
Of the total liquid assets of 340,000 US dollars, Zhu Shengkai had already used 120,000 US dollars. He was not going to touch the remaining 220,000 US dollars.
He was prepared to use the two companies left behind by Luo Ba as funds.
"Alright, that's it. There are still two companies waiting for me to take over.”
After leaving the Los Angeles City Hall, Zhu Shengkai arrived at the Santa Monica Pier under the protection of the Ming Guards.
At this moment, there were four ships docked at the dock.
These four ships were all ironclad.
There was a huge mast hanging on it, and the sails were retracted.
Yes, and the unique chimney of the steam boiler on the ship.
They were all characteristics of the 19th century.
The average length of these ironclad ships was about 40 to 70 meters.
Each ship could carry hundreds of people.
They were all slave ships that Luoba Ocean Transportation Company had cheated people from the Qing Dynasty.
However, Zhu Shengkai believed that these ships could only be used by him.
First, he had to make some modifications.
The ship was painted white and hung with the flag of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, in order to hide it, Zhu Shengkai prepared the flag of the US Federation.
Luoba Ocean Transportation Company was renamed North America Great Ming Ocean Transportation Company!
It became a subsidiary of North America's Big Ming Company.
Zhu Shengkai also sighed with emotion. Finally, there were extra ships that could set off for the Qing Dynasty.
Previously, Zhu Shengkai owned a modern 10,000-ton oil tank. Although it was good, big enough, powerful enough, and had a more impressive cargo capacity, Zhu Shengkai could not afford to drive it.
How can I drive without gas!
Although there was a lot of oil reserves in the American Federation, they were considered undeveloped resources in this era.
In this era, there were no cars. Ships used steam furnaces that burned coal.
The coal mine was being excavated in large quantities, but no one touched the oil.
Zhu Shengkai wanted to buy it, but he didn't have a place to buy it in large quantities.
"We can only excavate and mine it ourselves in the future. However, it's also time to establish a North American Great Ming Oil Company.”
Zhu Shengkai thought to himself.
In addition, there was also a railway company in Roba, which was renamed by Zhu Shengkai to North America's Great Ming Railroad Company.
He also contracted the business of the Luoba railway company.
Building a railway from Los Angeles to San José and even Sacramento.
Zhu Shengkai accepted these tasks calmly and even gave an order himself.
That was to build a railway from the new capital of Ming Dynasty to Los Angeles.
The transformation of the two companies left behind by Luo Ba had begun.
Since the change of name, Zhu Shengkai had ordered the expulsion of almost all white employees from the new North American Great Ming Railroad Company and North American Great Ming Marine Company.
It was changed to the military personnel of Ming Dynasty.
After all, this was Big Ming's state-owned enterprise.
Almost all of the workers in the railway company were Chinese.
Suffering from Luo Ba's oppression.
Zhu Shengkai also ordered to increase the treatment of Chinese workers.
All the Chinese workers in his company were paid three dollars a day, which was 1.5 to 2 dollars higher than the average white worker in the market.
However, there was one thing. The Chinese workers working in his company had to cut off their braids!
Otherwise, get lost!
