Chapter 43 The age of steam! An acquisition of the future!

Carrera Shipbuilding Company.

Montpury was still standing, the sofa was too small, and he suspected that he would break it if he sat down.

Esbagu sat on the single sofa next to him and asked straight to the point: "I don't know what the business you are talking about is..."

"I heard that Mr. Tom built a sea train that uses steam as power. I saw it. It was such a great innovation." Lister showed a respectful and yearning look.

Esbago had no expression on his face. He lost Teacher Tom, who was like his father, and he became mature inside and no longer easily showed his mood swings on his face. Therefore, he would have the nickname of "iceberg" in the future.

"It's a pity that the great man of the times died."

A great man?

Esbago glanced at Liszt, the people of the world and even the Seven Waters Island, and criticized Tom the fishman more than praised him. Liszt actually called him a "great man", which really surprised him.

"Yes, great man, he will create an era, the steam age!"

Anyway, it's good that you don't have money, and when you can get good feelings, Liszt won't be stingy.

“Steam Age?”

"Where can steam take the train forward? If this technology is applied to the ship, the ship will no longer need wind to push it."

Esbagu suddenly fell into deep thought. Liszt's words seemed to lightning to split the black fog in his mind, and countless inspirations emerged.

Steam-powered sailboat?

He suddenly stood up, walked towards the desk where he was working, and picked up the drawings.

Esbagu participated in the construction of the sea train throughout the whole process and was a core member. He was no stranger to the steam-powered operation method. How to apply it to ships without tracks?

"How about adding a wheel?"

"wheel?"

"Like a windmill, the wind wheel is driven by steam, and the wind wheel pushes the ship forward."

Esbagu's eyes lit up and his hands were walking, and a strange ship with a power wheel on the side jumped onto the drawings.

"I am worthy of being a disciple of Mr. Tom. In time, you will definitely be the best boatman in the world." Liszt praised.

Esbagu put down his pen, smiled on his face and said, "No, it's all your reminder, which has inspired me."

He found a sample ship to bid for. In terms of strength, heritage, financial resources, etc., he would definitely not be able to compete with the seven major companies. In this way, only innovation can lead to opportunities.

"Sorry, I've kept you waiting for a long time." Aesbagu said apologetically.

"Success is ninety-nine percent effort, plus one percent inspiration, but it is that one percent inspiration that determines whether you are a genius or a mediocre person. Mr. Esbagu is undoubtedly that genius."

Who can't do business?

Liszt's face was much thicker than Esbagu, which made Esbagu feel embarrassed and his attitude was much better than before.

"May I ask, the business you are talking about will not be..."

"Yes, we want to buy complete information on sea train technology, including steam engines, and now there are more steam boats." Listert.

Influenced by the unique geographical environment, the technology of this world has completely developed abnormally. Some islands are in the era of wild and ignorant, while some islands have all kinds of black powder guns, more advanced ones, even laser weapons, and even robot legions have appeared in the vast land that Eniro yearns for.

Technology is the primary productive force, and this sentence is also true when it comes to this world.

Like the mysterious scientist who was 500 years ahead of the world, Bergaponk, he supported the world's government's science and technology department.

But compared to the epoch-making high-tech that can only be used by individuals or a certain force, Lister pays more attention to a complete industrial system that can affect the lives of ordinary people. The "new" technology represented by steam engines can just become the foundation of the industrial system. It has set off a new era of change in another world!

"In addition, Mr. Esbago, whether your company needs funds, I hope to invest in Carrera Shipbuilding."

Esbagu was still hesitating whether to sell technology. Suddenly, he heard that Liszt wanted to invest and immediately said, "It's not necessary yet."

He hopes to ensure the purity of the company.

"Mr. Esbago, don't rush to refuse, listen to my conditions. I am optimistic about you. I think you will change the Seventh Islands of Water, but starting a business is difficult. Sometimes, you need some help to realize your dreams faster, and life needs to be compromised."

Lister said: "I will not participate in the management of Carrera Company with 51% shares, but I have the right to make decisions on issues related to the fate of the company."

Esbagu was shocked, 500 million Bailey?

Today’s Carrera Company, let alone 50 million Baileys, is not worth even 50 million Baileys!

Esbago quickly calculated that if he received a capital injection of 500 million Bailey, Carrera would immediately be on par with the other seven major companies, or even beating them. He heard that two companies were not well-managed and could not even pay the salary of ship workers, and might go bankrupt one day, and Carrera's current finances are healthy.

However, a 51% stake means an acquisition, which is inconsistent with Esbago's plan. He shook his head and said, "I won't sell Carrera."

"What a pity, then 400 million Bailey, 49% of the shares, how about it?"

2% of shares, 100 million Baileys missing?

Esbagu hesitated for a while before saying, "I need to think about it for one night."

"Yes, we'll visit Mr. Esbago tomorrow." Liszt said.

Since I plan to invest in Carrera, there is no need to discuss sea train technology and steam engine technology.

Aesbagu sent the three of them to the door, and suddenly remembered that he didn't know what the young man was called and said, "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."

"Liszt, Arkham Liszt."

Esbagu was stunned and said, "So, the Arkham Chamber of Commerce is..."

"That's right, it's my chamber of commerce!" Liszt smiled slightly.

"You are so awesome!" Aesbagu immediately sighed.

Mombley, who had been holding on for a long time, suddenly said, "400 million Bailey, we don't even have 100 million Bailey, right?"

Lister glanced at him and said, "I should be able to get 100 million Baileys when I give you to the Navy."

Montbley: “…”

Faced with Liszt's threat, he had no choice but to be a follower. Alas, he cried.

"You're very optimistic about him?" asked Westdom.

"Genius, change the world!"

Esbago took the drawings of the new ship, but he was thinking of Liszt's proposal that building a new ship requires funds, and a ship that uses new technology may experience failure before it is built, just like a sea train.

"Does life need to be compromised?" Esbagu looked at the news posted on the wall. He could cooperate with the world government that killed his teacher, so why couldn't he cooperate with others?
