The next day, Lu Zuofu and other key personnel of the company were taken to Ruichang by plane.
Ruichang does not have an airport, but Chen Yong and Han Jin have long followed Yue Feng's instructions to build a large highway that is very flat and suitable for landing aircraft.
Yue Feng came to pick him up in person with his guard platoon.
After some pleasantries, everyone got on the military vehicle and went to the riverside.
Lu Zuofu's eyes lit up when he saw twenty troop transport ships.
"Brother-in-law, you are really like a god with troops.
You actually captured so many ships."
"To be honest with you, brother, let alone troop carriers, even aircraft have been captured."
"Brother, you are truly a great general in the Great Patriotic War."
"Wherever we go, we can only win by fighting bloody battles among our brothers."
"These twenty troop transport ships are really big and strong enough.
I liked them at first sight."
"Brother, as long as you like it.
Come, let's board the ship together and have a good inspection."
The two boarded the ship, and other technical backbones followed suit.
Only after careful inspection can the price be determined.
Lu Zuofu is a shipping king and has an extremely deep understanding of ships.
After the inspection, he was very satisfied: "Brother, these boats have not suffered much damage and can be sold for a good price.
However, they are stuck in the mud and it is difficult to pull them into the water."
Yue Feng smiled and said: "Brother, this is easy.
Use thirty tanks, connect them to steel cables, and pull them together, and you can pull them into the river and drive away smoothly."
Lu Zuofu was delighted: "This is very good."
Yue Feng asked: "Is it feasible to convert it into a cargo ship?"
Lu Zuofu smiled and said: "It's no problem at all.
The cabin is big enough and the deck is strong.
With just a few changes, it will be the best cargo ship."
Soon, the technicians set a price for the ten troop transport ships.
Each ship was 500,000 taels of silver, and twenty ships were worth 10 million taels of silver.
Yue Feng thought for a while and said: "At a 20% discount, let's calculate it to eight million taels."
Lu Zuofu disagreed: "Brother, if you want to use this money to fight the Japanese, how can I take advantage of you?
Besides, in business, this is the rule.
The army has discipline, and the business world also has rules.
Anyone who breaks discipline or breaks the rules will be punished."
No way” Yue Feng smiled and said: "What the elder brother said is absolutely true."
He turned around and asked the technician: "The troop carrier is damaged.
Have you calculated the repair cost?"
The technician said: "Don't worry, Colonel, everything has been calculated."
Yue Feng nodded: "Brother, we have a large amount of goods in Blue Star City, one-third of which will be transported overseas by you.
In business, the price is calculated according to international rules, and no one can destroy it."
Lu Zuofu was overjoyed: "Hahaha, sworn brother, I have been coveting the cargo transportation in Blue Star City for a long time, but I have never spoken to you.
That is a huge amount of cargo, and whoever gets it will be rich. " Yue Feng smiled and said: "Nowadays, there are more and more factories in Blue Star City, and the goods are rising.
One-third, your company may not be able to transport all the goods."
Lu Zuofu was full of confidence: "With these twenty troop transport ships, the cargo volume will be greatly increased."
Yue Feng shook his head: "It's still not enough, you have to change the transportation method."
Lu Zuofu was stunned: "How to change it?"

Yue Feng smiled and said: "We must use container transportation."
Lu Zuofu thought about it.
As a shipping king, of course he knew about container transportation.
Container transportation originated in the United Kingdom.
As early as 1801, British Dr.
James Anderson had proposed the idea of loading goods into containers for transportation.
The official use of containers to transport goods was in the early 20th century.
In 1900, container transportation was first tried on British railways, and later spread to the United States, Germany, France and other European and American countries.
Yue Feng knew that before 1966, although container transportation had achieved certain development, it was limited to some advanced countries in Europe and the United States and did not exist in China at all.
If Lu Zuofu uses it, it will be the first of its kind in China.
Seeing Lu Zuofu thinking deeply, Yue Feng explained the advantages of container transportation one by one.
Lu Zuofu cheered up, but also proposed to use difficulties.
For example, terminal construction, container production, loading and unloading bridges, gantry cranes, straddle carriers, etc. require a lot of funds.
Yue Feng was very straightforward: "Brother, I will invest 10 million taels of silver in these twenty ships.
In addition, we will add another 100 million US dollars to build docks and manufacture containers, loading and unloading bridges, gantry cranes, straddle carriers, etc."
Lu Zuofu thought for a while: "Brother-in-law, this money is not enough."
Yue Feng smiled and said: "Issuing stocks, using my trustworthiness and guaranteeing it with Blue Star International Bank, issuing 300 million U.S. dollars of stocks."
Lu Zuofu was overjoyed: "Very good.
I believe that with my adopted brother's reputation, everyone will enthusiastically buy these stocks.
I suggest that this company be called Pangu International Transportation Company, and you will be the chairman."
Yue Feng shook his head: "No, I will focus on the Patriotic War.
You will be the chairman, and I will be the honorary chairman.
Brother, that's it."
Lu Zuofu was also very straightforward: "Okay, my sworn brother is a person who does big things, and he doesn't care about the position of chairman."
A staff member next to him said with a smile: "Blue Star City belongs to the colonel, and Pangu Island belongs to the colonel.
Everyone is envious of it."
Lu Zuofu has another layer of worry: "Opening a manufacturing factory requires technical support.
We lack technology and talents."
Yue Feng said: "Don't worry, as long as there are enough funds, technology and talents will be available.
I know that there are a large number of Chinese in Western countries, and there are many talents among them.
I will invite them back with high salaries.
At the same time, I will personally design and manufacture containers. , loading and unloading bridge, gantry crane, straddle carrier.”
Lu Zuofu smiled: "I almost forgot, you are the master of invention, a famous international Joe.
By the way, where is the factory located?"
Yue Feng pondered for a moment: "There are two options, one is Blue Star City, and the other is Pangu Island."
Lu Zuofu said decisively: "These equipments are all related to maritime transportation.
I think they are located on Pangu Island.
I have inspected Pangu Island and now the filling of the island is going very smoothly.
There are already 500 square kilometers of land available for use."
He guessed Yue Feng's intention: Pangu Island would be a base for the "Dragon Guard Family" and a solid backing for the Chinese nation.
After the island is completed, it will be at least as big as ten Taiwan islands.
Based on Yue Feng's strength and strong scientific power, Pangu Island will be the most untouchable existence in the world.
Yue Feng pondered for a moment and said decisively: "That's it.
You will be solely responsible for this matter, with An Baiju's assistance."
Lu Zuofu was full of arrogance: "Brother, you can rest assured that I will do things.

As long as I am here, Pangu Island will definitely become the world's largest industrial base, producing high-tech products that will be sold all over the world."
Yue Feng laughed loudly: "Brother, please rest assured.
I predict that the Chinese nation will rise in the east and become the most powerful country in the world."
On the third day, the twenty troop transport ships were repaired and safely sailed into the Yangtze River and entered the rear area.
After being converted into cargo ships, the twenty large ships became the main transportation force during the Great Patriotic War and contributed a lot to the final victory.
After bidding farewell to his sworn brother, Yue Feng received telegrams from Principal Jiang, Dai Li and others, all of whom expressed their intention to buy shares of "Pangu International Transportation Company".
After hearing the news, major domestic merchants saw it as an opportunity and rushed to buy it, including members of the Hanjin family.
People with extra money, such as Song Dabiao from Blue Star City, naturally joined the buying ranks.
Of course, according to Yue Feng's opinion, those who are members of the "Xiongqi Group" will have priority in purchasing.
He firmly believed that the brothers who bought a certain number of stocks would have no worries about food and clothing throughout their lives.
A big foreign family also came to support the event, such as the Sassoon family.
Soon, a billion-dollar stock was issued, which greatly exceeded expectations and shocked the world.
Of course, some people also asked sourly: "Is Colonel Protector engaged in business or war?"
After Yue Feng heard this, he replied: "Without business, there is no money.
Without money, it is impossible to win the Great Patriotic War.
Besides, the biggest business is war, and winning against Japan is the greatest business."
As soon as these words came out, they won support from everyone, especially the business community.
Some big Japanese merchants also wanted to buy it, but Yue Feng undoubtedly refused them all
