Comoz Shipping Company's main business is the transportation of various agricultural products as well as primary industrial products between France and French Indochina.
French Indochina is rich in mineral resources, rich in various industrial raw materials, and even too much food to eat. These things are extremely important to France, which is struggling to support itself in the world war.
No matter at any time, there are always people crying and others laughing.
Ordinarily Fisher, the boss of Comoz Shipping Company, should laugh. Although the world war caused great damage to Europe, Fisher's career also made great progress.
Thanks to the World War, I have quadrupled the number of ships available for ocean shipping.
Fisher often thought so. Although he didn't say it, it could be seen from his cheerful expression all day long.
But in recent days, Fisher has been having a hard time laughing.
The Germans had been conducting submarine warfare. In order to avoid losses, Fisher made all his ships registered in the United States. This way it seemed that Fisher's fleet was American and could avoid German submarine attacks.
However, since February, Fisher has discovered that his calculations have failed. The Germans have gone crazy. No matter which country's flag is flying on the ship, as long as it is flying the German flag, the ship will be sunk.
The Germans are not stupid at all. Since the Germans started unrestricted submarine warfare, submarine captains do not need to worry about identifying the country of origin of the ships. They can just sink them all within sight, and there will be absolutely no accidental damage.
At this time, all the ships sailing on the sea were ships related to the Allied Powers. Because the Allied Powers occupied relatively more ports around the world, all the Allied Powers' ships were detained in the ports by the Allied Powers, and their ownership would not be decided until the end of the war.
.
Although the Germans built a high seas fleet that could almost challenge Britain before the war, it was almost almost and had not yet reached a certain level. Therefore, after the start of the world war, the German high seas fleet almost always stayed in German military ports.
, to guard against Allied raids from the sea.
From February to March, three of Fisher's ships had been sunk. Although it was not a serious injury to Fisher, the loss of profits was enough to give Fisher a headache, because Fisher
I don't know how much I will lose in the coming April.
It was a sunny morning. It was supposed to be a good day for an outing, but Fisher couldn't be happy no matter what the newspaper in his hand looked like.
The front page of Le Figaro reported on the Germans' unrestricted submarine warfare. It clearly stated that the Allies had lost about 100,000 tons in the past month.
These damn guys are all bombastic liars, and this number must be enough. Fisher balled up the newspaper in his hand and threw it into the wastebasket beside his desk.
The numbers in the newspaper are very high. If you go by what the newspaper said, Comoz Shipping Company alone contributed more than one-tenth of this number, and a company of the size of Comoz Shipping has the highest number of companies in Britain and France.
Not just a hundred families
Damn Lloyd George, damn Raymond Poincaré, is Thomas Wilson your biological father? You can't send a few damn destroyers to the Mediterranean. Fisher was wandering around in the office, talking.
Cursing endlessly.
Britain and France were indeed escorting, but they were concentrating on the Atlantic route and could not take care of the Mediterranean route for the time being. Fisher's ship was going to the Far East. The Mediterranean route was Fisher's lifeline.
Sir, there is a Mr. Allen from Paris who wants to see you. The secretary with big breasts and fat butt knocks on the door and comes in.
No. I don’t want to see anyone. Unless it’s George Gray, don’t bother me. Fisher was not in the same mood as before and yelled at the pretty secretary.
George Gray is the current colonial minister. Because of the relationship between the colonies and the navy, George Gray is the most popular candidate for the next navy minister.
By the way, Alexander Ribo's trip to the Prime Minister lasted only a short week. Alexander Ribot did not come up with a convincing cabinet list. This may be his last trip to the Prime Minister.
The current prime minister is not Clemenceau, who is very popular, but Paul Panleve, the Minister of Education and Minister of Invention during the Briand period. Paul Panleve's cabinet list has only received a certain degree of praise, not so much
It was Paul Panleve who gained the trust of the Parliament. Rather, it was the product of compromise between the various forces in the Parliament.
Mr. Allen said that he could ensure that the company's ships sailed safely in the Mediterranean. The secretary pushed her eyes on the bridge of her nose. This action made the arms she was holding tighter, and the size of her chest looked even bigger.
big.
God, why didn't you tell him to come in earlier? Fisher turned his anger into joy, stepped forward and grabbed a handful of the secretary's chest, and then slapped him on the butt.
As you wish, the secretary did not shake his head, but shook his tight buttocks wrapped in trousers, cast another flirtatious look, and then turned around and left.
If the person who came was not too important to Fisher, she would not be able to leave.
Hello, Mr. Fisher. Allen is in a suit and leather tie. He is polite and hands over a gilded business card with both hands.
Hello, nice to meet you. Fisher responded politely.
The handwriting on the business card is clear: General Manager of lll Company.
lll Company Please forgive me, I know nothing about your company. Fisher is suspicious.
Many salesmen come to Fisher every day, including some professional liars. Fisher has always been highly vigilant. Fisher really knows nothing about lll company. Before this, he had never known anything about it.
I've heard of this company's name.
But Fisher is not ready to have doubts now. The objective world is in the midst of a world war. Stimulated by the war, new things appear every day, and new companies appear every day. Maybe these companies will become behemoths in the future.
, just like Fisher's Comoz Shipping Line.
Yes, we are a new company with multiple businesses, and I think we have what you need. Alan is very busy.
Why not. Fisher is interested.
Any business will generate profit growth, either positive or negative, and Fisher is unwilling to let go of any opportunity.
I noticed that you lost three cargo ships last month. I think you need a guarantee from the Panama Canal to Marseille. Allen smiled.
Allen is the general manager of lll company, and lll company is Qin Zhiyuan's industry, so Allen should try his best to find new ways to make money so that his assets can grow. Allen got a new contract after Christmas.
According to the regulations, Allen owns 3% of the shares of Lll Company. Although these shares cannot be transferred, Allen can enjoy dividends from the increase in the value of the shares.
Allen is very motivated. He now has more than fifty subordinates, all of whom are smart and capable businessmen. Now Allen's subordinates are doing the same thing as Allen, busy traveling between Britain and France and even around the Mediterranean.
Even the whole world.
lll company is Qin Zhiyuan's first tentacle reaching out to the world.
