The reorganization of the board of directors of Boston Haight Shipyard ended smoothly amidst the joy of the men and the sniggering of the women.

The formal signing ceremony was held that night. Mr. Edmund Hight signed and sealed the contract in triplicate, and solemnly handed over 90% of the shipyard's shares and the original set of deeds to Katerina.

No one raised any doubts about the representatives of the Kenway Merchant Group.

Everyone can understand that Edward Kenway is just a smuggler without any prestige and industry. Due to his active performance during this period, there is still a large amount of rewards in the UK.

Such a person is not suitable to be the new chairman of Haight Shipyard. Especially in the current situation where Boston is not stable, only by avoiding him can the shipyard avoid the risk of being provoked and confiscated by the British when Boston falls.

On the other hand, Katerina's other identity, Donna Linka, is different.

As a Spaniard with a complete identity and a clean net worth, she has the sacrosanct right of private property in the entire civilized world. This is a power bestowed by God on believers, and no one can arbitrarily deprive her of it.

In this way, Donna Linka became the new chairman of Hight Shipyard who nominally has an absolute advantage in equity.

She appointed Edmund Height as the general manager of the shipyard, Joshua Humphreys as the master of the design department, and Karen as the general manager of the shipyard on the spot.

After the personnel decision, she announced that she would entrust Haite to represent the board of directors in daily affairs, retaining only one veto power, and handing it over to Karen as the agent.

As a representative of the management, Karen is required to attend at least 15 days every six months at the shipyard. His main job is to review projects worth more than 10,000 pounds to ensure that the interests of the management are not damaged.

As a master craftsman trained by the world's top shipyard, Plymouth Naval Shipyard, and has extensive sailing experience, he is comfortable in this position.

Of course, he can also arbitrarily mobilize arbitrary decisions made by the shipyard during his absence and make judgments, but those that have already completed the preparation period will not be suspended in principle.

Karen's position is like the last gate of the dam, and it should be regarded as a special compromise during the period of mutual trust.

Heite saw Lorraine's sincerity from it, and Lorraine can also limit the excessive consumption of his property by the whimsy of this crazy knife, and even if there is some loss of control, he can choose whether to stop the loss in time.

In order to enhance mutual trust,

These terms were all written into the employment contract signed by Height to Keren, and Keren became the first working elite in the Lorraine team to openly receive two salaries.

Everyone is happy, as Carmen said, no one was hurt by this cheap acquisition.

Thomas Jefferson, Paul Revere, and General Robert Smith, Haight's best friend, were invited to attend the reorganization of the board of directors and a small banquet afterwards as guests of honor.

In order to congratulate his friend for getting out of the gloom, General Smith put the construction order of a standard fifth-class ship directly into Haight's hands within his authority. Two communication boats.

Jefferson also donated generously, and at Lorraine's suggestion, he ordered a custom-made Bermuda Sroop boat with no firepower at all, and it could be driven by two sailors, just to satisfy his occasional fishing dreams.

The nascent Haight Shipyard was suddenly overwhelmed with orders, and these ships were all standard structures. If the manpower was sufficient, once the drawings were completed, the hulls could be erected immediately.

The atmosphere of joy went up to the next level. Among the cups and plates intertwined, Lorraine and Jefferson raised their glasses together.

"Just looking at Mr. Haight's embarrassed expression yesterday, I really didn't expect him to be so happy because he sold the shipyard." Jefferson smiled and congratulated Lorraine.

"Because he wants to work, and he doesn't want to let the new ship die." Lorraine replied, "Speaking of Mr. Governor, it seems that the senior executives of the United States don't need to work very much."

"I'm working." Jefferson retorted dumbfoundingly, "I'm now an inspector representative of the Continental Army, and socializing is my job. If you're in Virginia, it's like you can't see the governor of Massachusetts here. You can't easily see me."

"Oh, I'd be honored then..."

...

The next day, when the Dowmark was launched, Bell yelled and drove her into the registration pier of the Houwan Port Authority, where she was registered under the name of the non-existent Donna Linka just like the Jackdaw. 16 Novels

On the eighth day after the Jackdaw was scrapped, the Daobiao officially became Edward Kenway's second-generation smuggling flagship.

Having a boat means that Lorraine and his group have a way out of Boston at any time.

But Lorraine was not satisfied with this kind of security. As employees of the Haight Shipyard, Yacharin and Katerina ordered a full cabin of wine at the Boston Rum Distillery, and sent the order together with a road mark to pay for Lorraine's return. The gangsters lay down a strong second insurance.

At the same time, Lorraine also brought Haight a big surprise in the shipyard.

The 19,000-pound stock purchase metal belongs to Hite personally, and the 10,000-pound start-up capital belongs to the shipyard.

Lorraine smiled and asked someone to carry boxes of gold coins in simple wooden boxes into the conference room, and calmly said to Height: "Although the shipyard has no lucrative orders for the time being except for the destroyers in the Charles River formation, But since the dock is empty, there is no reason for the shipbuilder to keep the order backlog. Go ahead and do it, my lord general manager."

Hayter was so moved that he almost cried.

But even this time, he remembered the details of the acquisition contract.

"Mr. Kenway, please allow me to ask, where is Ms. Linka who signed the contract yesterday?"

"Linka?" Lorraine didn't react for a while.

"Ms. Donna Linka. Although she is only the owner of the shipyard in name, but from a procedural point of view, I think it is best to invite her to be present to make it official."

"Well……"

This well-intentioned suggestion really choked Lorraine.

Because technically speaking, as soon as she returned to the water warehouse last night, Katerina had already transferred the equity of the shipyard to the Drake General Chamber of Commerce.

It's just that the original copy of the transfer contract is now in Lorraine's carry-on luggage, and it has not been disclosed in any form, and it is impossible to disclose it to anyone other than the Lorraine team before the end of the War of Independence, including Hayter.

It can only be said that Hite is indeed an honest man who is about to become extinct in this world...

Lorraine scratched her hair in embarrassment: "This question... Actually, Ms. Linka... Katerina doesn't like professional communication. You know, boring design debates will make the layman feel that time is very difficult."

"Design...arguments?"

Kron, who had been prepared for a long time, unfolded a full set of new ship design drawings with a bang, and the detailed and beautiful ink lines were re-displayed in front of the designer after many days, which made Hait and a piece of Humphreys who was called to the meeting germinate in their hearts. come up with an idea.

Could it be...

Lorraine put his palms on the table and pressed the drawings in front of him, and stood up.

"This is the blueprint of a new type of ship. After I got it last night, I had a serious discussion with Keren, Bell and Yacharin for a long time."

"There is no doubt that this is a real masterpiece, worthy of what you call a pocket battleship."

"But the design idea of ​​the pocket battleship is still a battleship. Only in the battle line can many of her design features be brought into play, which is of no value to us!"

"We are smugglers, lawbreakers, and lone travelers. Our living environment at sea is closer to pirates than to the army, so she needs to make certain changes to meet our needs."

"Close, short-handed, fast, flexible, strong, and powerful! The cost is not her problem, she deserves to be a legendary ship, a sea monster that makes opponents tremble when she appears alone!"

"She needs to be transformed into an era-defining ship, a unique... battlecruiser!"
