The yachts of the 19th century are really ugly enough. This year, the concept of yachts has not yet existed. Only super-rich people like Li Mu will order a yacht to meet personal consumption. It will not be until the middle and late 20th century. Only then will the concept be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, that is, at that time, the yacht entered the ordinary rich families.

To be honest, today's shipyards do not understand the needs of the rich, and as a result, the yachts they create look similar to most ships today, or they are more focused on practicality and comfort. They are basically different from beauty and can be used by Gray Veterinarians like Vanderbilt are fancy.

In addition to the ubiquitous social influence, the great family became a large family. There are also an endless stream of outstanding talents. The transformation of the Vanderbilt family was actually after the Civil War. At that time, Grace Vanderbilt was an adult, so It is normal to have a unique understanding of the shipbuilding industry. Changing people, there is no such opportunity as Grace Vanderbilt. Even if you occasionally think that the current yacht is not good-looking, you will not design a more beautiful boat. At most, just think about it. That's all, but as a member of the Vanderbilt family, Grace Vanderbilt has the opportunity to turn fantasy into reality.

Obviously, Grace Vanderbilt's aesthetic view is closer to Li Mu. The design drawing that Grace Vanderbilt gave Li Mu is only a rough outline structure, and does not involve internal structure. In this way, it is already a thick stack. Grace Vanderbilt also ingeniously painted a few yachts sailing in the New York Bay. This is obviously the rendering. It is indeed more intuitive. , More shocking, in this regard, women have more delicate minds than men.

Compared with the "Goddess of Liberty", the yacht designed by Grace Vanderbilt is more slender, with an aspect ratio of approximately four to one. Perhaps in Li Mu's view, this is still a bit bloated, but it is similar to the "Goddess of Liberty" It ’s a world of difference, after all, the Statue of Liberty is 89 meters in length and 39.5 meters in width, which is close to an aspect ratio of two to one, as Grace Vanderbilt said. Like a sea turtle, lying on the sand with its feet on the sky, there is basically no beauty at all.

It's an expensive floating platform on the sea-not just on the sea, but on the water, a ship like the "Goddess of Liberty" can't get out of the bay at all.

"I call her 'Aphrodite', the **** of love and beauty in Greek mythology. She is 125 meters in length and 32 meters in width. Just looking at paper data, this ship is more powerful than the US Navy now. The cruiser is even bigger, this is a yacht that can really sail out to sea, taking into account the pleasure of sailing and playing, instead of docking or wandering in the bay, because of 'Aphrodite' It has a sturdy hull, so it can even carry a certain amount of self-defense firepower, which makes her not to stand still when faced with danger. In addition, if you look at these masts on the ship, if there is a problem with the propeller propulsion, 'Aphrodite' also Can be used as a sailboat, which gives her more vitality. If you decide to build one, I suggest you use blue and white paint, just like the colors of blue sky and white clouds. No one can refuse the temptation of the sky, she It ’s unique. ”Grace Vanderbilt said that the ship is a treasure trove. It seems that various data are already familiar with the heart. This is the origin of family learning, and it is far from the way of a half-way monk like Li Mu. By comparison.

When Vanderbilt and his son were there, Grace Vanderbilt was excluded from the management of the family business, and there was no opportunity to influence the family business, so no matter how much Grace Vanderbilt had in his mind No imagination can be realized.

The accident of Vanderbilt's father and son gave Grace Vanderbilt a chance, which finally made Grace Vanderbilt closer to his dream. Perhaps the Vanderbilt family can develop more in this regard. A drink and a peck are set for themselves.

"Yes, she is unique." What really touched Li Mu was the words of Grace Vanderbilt. Everyone has a maverick heart, especially big toys like yachts, probably no one. Willing to 'hit the shirt' with others, Li Mu is also the same: "I have a question, why did the Vanderbilt family give up the shipbuilding and shipping industries to the railway industry?"

This is a question that Li Mu has always wondered. From the perspective of potential, the shipping industry is not inferior to railways. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. However, the Vanderbilt family had a hegemonic position in the shipping industry. Similar to the monopoly industry of Trust, and turned to the highly competitive railway industry, Li Mu really did not understand the original Cornelius Vanderbilt.

"Because the shipping industry can't effectively communicate the east and west coasts, it's a bit regrettable. When you decided to dig the Panama Canal, my father has decided to return to the shipping industry, but it's a pity--" The sadness on Grace Vanderbilt's face It's fleeting, and I've known each other for so long. This is the first time Li Mu saw a weak expression on Grace Vanderbilt's face.

That said, this is the role of the Panama Canal.

Before sailing on the Panama Canal, if you want to sail from San Francisco to New York, you have to bypass the distant South American continent. This increased cost is simply geometric. For this reason, when the train appeared, Cornelius Van Derbilt believes that the shipping industry has become weak, and resolutely abandons the shipping industry with huge advantages, and comes to land to compete with a group of government-backed railway companies.

However, he made a difference, and Cornelius Vanderbilt never expected that Li Muhui proposed to build the Panama Canal and successfully defeated the French competition, eliminated British interference, and even contributed to the independence of the country— — What Li wanted to do but did n’t do was done by Li Mu, so William Vanderbilt will firmly support Li Mu, even if the conditions put forward by Li Mu are almost harsh, William Vanderbilt will invest in Panama The Canal Company is to return to the shipping industry in the future.

"So, you want to start with the shipbuilding industry now?" If Li Mu didn't know what Grace Vanderbilt really wanted, he would have blinded Grace Vanderbilt's thoughts.

Don't underestimate it has been out of the shipbuilding industry for more than ten years, but Li Mu has never underestimated the ability of the Vanderbilt family in shipbuilding. After all, since the generation of Cornelius Vanderbilt, the Vanderbilt family has had After decades of accumulation, the heritage is there. As long as Grace Vanderbilt waved his arms, funds, manpower, and technology were not a problem. What Grace Vanderbilt really lacked was an opportunity. A An opportunity to return to the shipbuilding industry.

Obviously, Grace Vanderbilt used Li Mu as a breakthrough.

"Yes, if the Vanderbilt family really wants to stand up and regain the glory belonging to the Vanderbilt family, then they must return to the shipbuilding industry. The sea is the real kingdom of the Vanderbilt family. There are Countless wealth, countless opportunities, but unfortunately it is difficult to reshape the former glory with the current Vanderbilt family, so I need help, and I need more help from people who have fantasy about the sea. "Grace · Vanderbilt's eyes are full of confidence. Li Mu has seen such eyes in many people's eyes. Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, and even Li Mu himself. It can be said that all successful people are full of firmness in themselves. Self-confidence, even at times, even to the point of desperation.

"Grace, what do you need me to do?" Li Mu admitted that he was moved by Grace Vanderbilt, not only because of Grace Vanderbilt's insistence, but also the temptation of the sea .

Yes, yes, compared to land, the ocean contains more wealth. At the end of the nineteenth century, the world ’s division of land has basically been completed. If you want to find more wealth, you must march to the ocean, from a political level. In terms of Li Mu's influence on Washington, he must also find another focus. After all, Washington cannot allow Junma Group to enter more industries without restriction. Once Li Mu makes enough people feel threatened, then Li Mu is almost finished, think about the former Vanderbilt family, the "first family" in the actual sense of the United States, wealth and glory are all destroyed once, this is the best lesson learned.

"I need you to have a good friendship with the military, you need the huge human resources owned by the Steed Group, you need a good relationship with the New York State Government and the city government, and you need a significant influence in Washington." Grace Van Derbilt is really optimistic about Li Mu. Li Mu himself doesn't know that he has so many advantages.

What Li Mu has now is exactly what the Vanderbilt family does not have, and Grace Vanderbilt is very clear that the Vanderbilt family wall was pushed by the crowd some time ago, and the Vanderbilt family must not be allowed. Returning to the shipbuilding industry, even if Grace Vanderbilt comes up with some unique skills, there will be no scum to be swallowed in minutes.

With the support of Li Mu, it is not necessary. Now Li Mu has left the category of ordinary rich people. He has a strong influence in the political and military circles and in the economic field. From Cuba, what Li Mu did began to work with Rockefeller and J. · P. Morgan pulled into the relationship, and William Vanderbilt also began to meet Li Mu during that time.

Today, Li Mu represents a huge power. This power includes two existing giant trust companies in the United States, two quasi-trust companies, and several powerful consortia. This force can easily mobilize thousands of Tens of thousands of dollars of funds, as long as Li Mu is willing, will have dozens or even hundreds of members running for Li Mu. It can be said that in the current United States, no one can fight against the power group represented by Li Mu.

"No problem, Grace, let it go. I only have one requirement. I must build a real yacht for Gloria." Li Mu lifted the weight lightly and said it with a fluttering tone, but the weight was not light at all.

"Yes, Grace, I support you, you can do it." Gloria, who was waiting outside the door for a long time, finally broke in, and Grace Vanderbilt had just arrived By the Governor's Island, Gloria had known the news, and by now, Gloria was very patient.

With the support of Gloria, then everything is fine, Li Mu wants people to give money and money, and the manpower problem is the same as Grace Vanderbilt said. The Junma Group has enough human resources, which is precisely the shipbuilding industry. It requires a lot of manpower. Grace Vanderbilt has ideals, technology, and even money. What is missing is enough skilled workers. The Junma Group has the largest group of skilled workers in the United States. It's two different things, but the strength of the Junma Group lies in the mechanism, which lies in the production line for mass production of workers. As long as there is a system in place, the Junma Group will never lack workers.

In cooperation with Grace Vanderbilt, Li Mu still adheres to the usual habit. The newly established Vanderbilt shipyard is still dominated by the Vanderbilt family. Li Mu builds ships to Vanderbilt through the Bank of America. The plant injected US $ 5 million in capital and occupies 30% of Vanderbilt Shipyard.

Do n’t think it ’s too small. The Vanderbilt family also owns 35% of the shares. The remaining shares belong to Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan. These two things are definitely indispensable. The Vanderbilt family is about to re-emerge. The news of rebuilding the shipbuilding industry just appeared in the newspaper. Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan went directly to Grace Vanderbilt. Li Mu had no chance to refuse.

This is also a good thing. The addition of Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan will reduce a lot of trouble for Li Mu. After all, Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan have influence in New York that is not Li Mu. Even when dealing with Washington, because of a certain For some unexplained reasons, it is more convenient for Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan to come forward.

The only regret is that when seeing "Aphrodite" still on paper, Rockefeller immediately placed an order with Vanderbilt Shipyard, which was also the first of Vanderbilt Shipyard. Although this business is suspected of stealing food, this is still a very good start, and Li Mu can barely accept it.

To be honest, Li Mu doesn't pay much attention to "Aphrodite". The four-to-one aspect ratio is certainly better than the "Liberty", but it is not good enough compared to the yacht in Li Mu's memory. Most of the famous yachts in the future will have aspect ratios of about ten to one. That is the result of computer simulation and optimization, which is not what the human brain can imagine.

In the past, even if Li Mu had an idea, he could not resort to realization. Now it is not the same. With the shipyard, Li Mu can finally turn the model in his mind into reality. Then Rockefeller will understand that he and Li Mu are doomed.
