Chapter 250: The trouble of not being able to spend the budget

...

"Mr. Geer, can you introduce your friend to me? I want to ask him if he wants to invest in my Franky series of battleships. In the future, my battleships will surely shine brightly on the sea. Killing the Sea Kings will not be a dream!"

Franky patted his chest and said confidently.

Gel showed a surprised expression. He didn't expect that this guy actually knew how to solicit sponsorship. He smiled and encouraged:

"Oh? Why would I go out of my way to introduce you to my friend? Can't you see that I'm also a super rich man?"

"Yeah? Mr. Gur, are you willing to invest in me?"

"A battleship? I'm quite interested. Show it to me someday. If you can impress me, maybe I'll be willing to invest in you, Franky."

"Ah! Really? Hahaha, that's great. You will definitely be shocked by my Franky series of battleships! Because I'm a super genius! But my No. 8 battleship was broken in a battle with a giant sea king a few days ago. When I find time to build the No. 9 battleship in the next few days, you will definitely be shocked! Hahaha!"

"Oh! Really? It sounds like it's very impressive. Go for it. I'll wait and see."

Ger encouraged.

"Mr. Geer, don't be fooled by this idiot. He just doesn't do his job all day. He always makes some dangerous things out of the garbage from the Waste Ship Island."

Seeing that Gel was really persuaded, Bingshan hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"Hey! Stupid Iceberg, how could you possibly understand this genius's great invention? Go away, go away, don't disturb the pleasant communication between me and Mr. Gur!"

"You are the one, hurry up and help with the work, and stop disturbing Mr. Gur!"

The two of them are simply incompatible and will break out into a quarrel within three sentences.

"Uh, hahahaha, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Gill."

Tom was used to it, so he ignored the two disciples fighting and came over with a big belly, smiling and saying hello:

"Captain Geer, I have already drawn the design after communicating with Brother Mosan these days. It basically meets the requirements you have raised. Now we also have the most critical treasure tree Adam. I am just waiting for you to take a look at the design. Once you confirm that there is no problem, we can officially start the work."

"Captain, the blueprints are in the room, take a look."

Mo Sang, who was pregnant with a big belly, also spoke from the side. It must be said that the two of them looked quite compatible when standing together.

"Okay, let me take a look."

As Gel and his companions were talking, they moved to an office next to the construction site that was converted from the hull of an abandoned ship.

All the furniture and home furnishings in the room were collected and renovated from scrapped ships, which is very consistent with the style of a shipyard.

"Mr. Geer, Mr. Mosan and Miss Funi, please have tea."

Kokoro enthusiastically brought hot tea.

The young man in front of him can be said to be the biggest customer of the entire Seven Water City. The large group of shipbuilders outside and their families are all relying on Gel's business to make some hard-earned money to make a living, so he must be served well. If it were an informal enterprise, such a big customer would have to be provided with a one-stop service of meals and drinks, right?

"Thank you!"

Gel took the teacup, walked to the table, and saw several very complicated but clear and neat drawings already spread out on the table.

"Mr. Geer, I didn't expect you to bring back so many precious trees. Now that the materials are so abundant, I think the size of the ship can be enlarged by 1.5 times according to the original proportion, which is just the best state I expected. If you have any other questions, we can make some changes."

Inside the house, after Tom finished speaking, he and his two disciples waited quietly by the side, ready to answer Gel's questions or make modifications to any unsatisfactory parts. For such a large order, it was normal for the client to have some suggestions for modifications.

Outside the house, a group of rough guys crowded in front of the window. The shorter ones stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks to look inside, but no one dared to shout loudly. They all knew that they could not disturb the captain from looking at the blueprints. Without the other party's nod, they could not start work and would not earn their wages.

"Not bad, not bad! The blueprint is well drawn. You are worthy of being the world's number one shipbuilder, Master Tom."

"Thank you so much! Mr. Gir, you really flatter me. The world's number one shipbuilder is just a rumor made up by others. I don't deserve such a title, hahaha."

Although Tom the fishman said he was unworthy of the honor, he was actually patting his belly with joy.

In fact, Gel had no idea how to read such complicated shipbuilding drawings and could only appreciate them from an artistic perspective.

Gel's requirements for the ship are not high. He needs it to be sturdy and durable, have sufficient power and good maneuverability. The deck space should be enough for the daily training of the group of strong men. It also needs more greenery and more leisure and entertainment venues for him to kill time. As for weapons, which are the things that pirates care about most, Gel has no requirements.

"No problem, great, let's follow your design."

Gel nodded and made the decision. Although he could only understand the appearance of the blueprint, he knew that it was right to leave professional matters to professionals.

"Yeah! That's great!"

Iceberg and Franky high-fived each other happily, then snorted in disgust and turned their heads away.

Outside the house, the crowd watching cheered excitedly when they saw the employer approved the drawings so readily. It seemed as if they had accumulated a lot of energy and had nowhere to vent it. They all couldn't wait to start working.

After cheering, they dispersed and went to prepare the various tools they would need later.

Gel turned around and saw a few more suitcases on the ground. He picked up one of them and put it on the table and said with a smile:

"I have also prepared all the other materials that Mosan has sorted out for you, as well as the Beiheyun technology furniture and home furnishings with various functions. You can use those that can be applied to the ship. Finally, here are 7 million Baileys. If you need anything else, just buy it directly. If you are worried about encountering pirates when you go shopping, you can tell me and I will arrange people to escort you."

Super large order, payment in advance, unlimited budget, active collaboration, friendly communication, where can you find such a client?

Even Tom was at a loss for words.

"No, Mr. Geer, you misunderstood. The 10 billion budget mentioned earlier includes materials. Now almost all the materials are provided by you. The 3 million Baileys I gave you before is more than enough! You don't need to pay any more."

Tom explained, scratching his head.

“Hahaha, no, Mr. Tom, I didn’t misunderstand. After the safety and functionality of this ship were fully upgraded, you spent money on improving its comfort and luxurious appearance.

Let everyone work hard and work as hard as they can. I can pay them double or triple the usual wages. I trust you, you can make the arrangements. Anyway, you have to find a way to help me spend the 10 billion Baileys on this ship. You don't have to save money for me."

“This. Also.”

"Too rich! So inhumane!"

"Wow, we have enough funds. Mr. Gel, why don't you consider my weapons? They will definitely come in handy!"

Iceberg and Franky's eyeballs have turned into two Bailey's logos.

"Ah this..."

Tom also looked distressed.

In the past, he always considered how to save money without affecting the performance of the ship, and never exceeded the budget, otherwise he would lose money. This was the first time in his many years of work that he had to worry about how to spend all his money.
