In the only small cafe in Essex, Beehai, Pete and Raymond sat around a round table, and the three of them put aside the coffee. Now whoever has time to drink coffee is talking about the serious matters.

Raymond took the draft picture he had drawn carefully and said to Bei Hai: "What I thought about is how to increase the length of the hull and not affect the navigation resistance, and increase the space on the ship more without affecting the navigation resistance. It is not enough to just widen the ship. This will increase the wave resistance, but the navigation resistance will be greater. I prefer the catamaran design here!"

"Catamaran?" Bei Hai frowned and thought for a while. He had also heard that some American warships are catamarans? But is it a bit too risky to design his own fish boat into catamarans? Because in Bei Hai's understanding, catamarans are also a high-tech part of ship mooring design. Is it a bit too much?

Bei Hai was afraid that Raymond would be so fashionable because he wanted to please him, so he would give himself a favor and not consider anything else. Although he had many requirements, it was essentially a fishing boat.

When Peter saw Bei Hai frowning, he immediately understood what Bei Hai was worried about. This old fox who had dealt with countless people could guess the facial expression of Bei Hai.

Pete thought about it and organized the language and said: "The design and construction of catamarans have been started in the last century before various shipyards. We will not take too much risk to design a hull ourselves, but we can buy other people's design patents to build for you. You don't have to worry about technical safety."

Now Bei Hai is a little unworried about technology, and at first he is a little worried whether it is because he wants to buy someone else's catamaran patent. He also has to add a heavyweight to his investment. He builds a ship, but does not spend money to let the shipyard make hull technology reserves. When Bei Hai thinks about this, it's no big deal, because the initiative is still in his own hands.

"What is the approximate price of the patent acquisition of the hull?" Bei Hai asked the two of them without any mind as he turned his hand over the design draft.

After Pitt and Raymond looked at each other, Raymond said: "Generally speaking, if you get a license, it is not too expensive, but only $20,000 to 30,000."

"Oh!" Bei Hai said oh and there was no further text.

Raymond's design touched Bei Hai a bit, the catamaran, the cab and crew's lounge all took a lot of thought. Some cabins were also designed with great care. Bei Hai may not necessarily know what is good, but Bei Hai still knows clearly what is on a tuna fishing boat where it is easy to handle.

Bei Hai can only take a closer look and realize that Raymond put a lot of thought into designing, and he has definitely designed many fishing boats before. Bei Hai is quite satisfied with this point. It can be said that Pitt's shipyard has officially entered Bei Hai's sight.

However, Bei Hai thought about this matter and had to discuss it again. The discussion here did not mean that it was directly designed by a shipyard and built it after it was designed, but was thinking about whether it could separate the design and construction. Pete's disruption made Bei Hai suddenly feel like he had a clue. He remembered a famous saying: You can't put all the eggs in one basket!

The three of them paused for five minutes. Bei Hai carefully looked at the design drafts in his hands, while Peter and Raymond were always paying attention to the expression on Bei Hai's face. Every time Bei Hai frowned slightly, it would make the two of them jump out of their composure. If Bei Hai had a smile on his face, their mood would also improve.

Five minutes were just a blink of an eye for Bei Hai who was thinking about things, but for Peter and Raymond, it was a big deal.

"I think your initial design is OK!" Bei Hai put down the manuscript paper in his hand and said to the two of them.

Although I was satisfied, Bei Hai didn't want them to be too proud. Now Bei Hai has experienced the pleasure of being Party A. Anyway, the students of Party B who have done projects and were abused by Party A know this feeling. In short, in one sentence, what Party A put forward is correct, and Party A's requirements are reasonable. To sum up, it is: As long as you sign a order with me, I don't care about my integrity!

Pete and Raymond's integrity is still there, but there will never be too much left.

Pete's face seemed to have a flesh flower blooming, and his smile was sweet and a little bit greasy: "Then?"

Looking at the faces of the two, Bei Hai smiled: "Congratulations. Your design touched me, welcome you to fight for my boat." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to the two.

"Thank you, thank you!" Peter and Raymond held Bei Hai's hand and said thankfully.

The smiles on the two of them were still hanging. Bei Hai directly said his other plan: "I plan to separate the design and construction, which means that your design has been adopted. But the construction may not be in the design shipyard! Of course, I hope that both design and construction can be together, which is considered packaging. However, considering some factors, I think it is better to divide it into two parts!"

Pete and Raymond naturally knew what this factor was? For the ship owner, they were naturally thinking about how to minimize the price of construction orders.

As for the price you get first and then keep increasing the price with various reasons in the middle? Do you think this contract is signed as a domestic decoration contract or a US-based warship? If the money is not enough, it will rise. Anyway, there will be a surrender to pay! This is a commercial contract that you want to increase. If you want to increase it, you will not be able to build it. The laws here are not invested, and it is possible that you will lose money if you sue it.

There are no fishing orders, milking orders, and those who take on projects are not qualified to cheat and say no to do it. The spirit of contract is something that people living in capitalist countries are very fond of. Credit is about life and death for businessmen.

After hearing what Bei Hai said, Pete and Raymond looked at each other again, but this time Bei Hai did not see any annoyance on their faces, but instead saw happiness.

Actually, it’s no wonder that the two of them heard about this matter was just to come and try it out. As long as they can, they can win it. If they can’t win it, they just take some effort. Now the economy is not very prosperous. Some of them are hard because no one is troubled by themselves.

Now that Bei Hai agrees to join the competition, it is a good thing for Pitt's shipyard. As for building Pitt, he doesn't think he is worse than others in cost control and construction capabilities, at least it's better than Gloucester's Engdon Shipyard.

"We fully agree with your idea, which is quite beneficial to you and us. It is easier for you to control costs and it is easier for us to see our design and construction strength when we have opponents," Pitt said affirmatively at Beihai.

Bei Hai smiled and said, "This is the case for the Americans. No matter whether they are really confident or fake, they must show their arrogance of being able to make a move." If you don't believe it, Bei Hai called Engdon Shipyard. The person in charge there would definitely be a shocking sound to tell him that it would be a matter of minutes to kill Pitt Shipyard. If you understand Chinese allusions, you might even say to Bei Hai: The wine is still warm! Both sides can give Bei Hai a scene of warm wine killing Hua Xiong.

"So two weeks are enough for you to come up with the preliminary plan?" After the matter was settled, then the next question was the time. As the owner of the ship, Bei Hai naturally hoped that the ship would be launched as fast as possible and then handed it to his own hands.

"I hope you can give us at least four weeks!" Raymond learned what Bei Hai wanted through this face-to-face chat with Bei Hai, and I wanted to do the next work more carefully.

After hearing Raymond say this, Pete couldn't help but stretch out his foot and touched his companion on the table. This means he would shrink a little. If someone mentions it for two weeks, you will immediately double it and add a minimum of one sentence! Is there anyone talking to Party A like this? Besides, the next meeting will be the preliminary plan, and there will be some time to deepen your design after the draft is completed. Now let's talk to Party A about time, why are you so hard to speak?

Raymond was not influenced by Pete. For a designer, Raymond pays more attention to his own design than the profits of the shipyard. It is not that Raymond doesn't care about profits. As a member of the shipyard, Raymond certainly cares. Where does Raymon get money without profits? People who are in their decades old can still sew their mouths? But just say that two things are more important than Raymond's design.

"If the time is too short, it will limit my performance. The boat you want is not an ordinary fishing boat. If it is normal, it will be changed directly and not even a day for a plan. You are equivalent to starting a new boat again. Although there are templates, the cabin and engines, and the arrangement of pipelines will take time to make me think about how to put it in a place that is best for maintenance, beautiful and space-saving. Besides, for you, it may be with it in the next ten years. I want to spend more than two weeks to make it better, and you can understand it. Please give me more time, I don't think I will disappoint you!"

Bei Hai looked up at Raymond's eyes, and saw a hint of persistence in it. Anyway, I felt that this person was quite firm and did not hide from his gaze. Looking back at his gaze was very confident. What Kuang Bei people said seemed to make sense. The so-called "urgent" can't eat hot tofu. Compared to the quality of the boat, it's no big deal to spend one or two more weeks. Besides, the fishing season may be until September next year.
