Expedition to Europe

Comoz Shipping Company is a French shipping company.

Comoz Shipping Company's main business is to transport various agricultural products and primary industrial products between France and French Indochina.

French Indochina is rich in mineral resources, various industrial raw materials, and even more food than can be eaten. These things are extremely important to France, which is struggling to survive in the World War.

No matter what time it is, there are always people crying and people laughing.

It is said that Fisher, the boss of Comoz Shipping Company, should laugh. Although the World War caused great damage to Europe, Fisher's career has also made great progress.

Thanks to the World War, it has quadrupled the number of ships available for ocean transportation in my hands.

Fisher often thinks so. Although he didn't say it, it can be seen from his cheerful expression all day long.

However, Fisher has been a little unable to laugh in recent days.

The Germans have been carrying out submarine warfare. In order to avoid losses, Fisher registered all his ships in the United States, so that it looks like Fisher's fleet is American and can escape the attack of German submarines.

But since February, Fisher found that his calculations had failed. The Germans went crazy. No matter which country's flag was flying on the ship, as long as it was a ship, it would be sunk, even if it was flying the German flag.

The Germans were not stupid at all. Since the Germans started unrestricted submarine warfare, the captains of the submarines did not have to bother to distinguish the country of the ship. They just sank all the ships within sight, and there would be no accidental injuries.

At this time, all the ships sailing on the sea were related to the Allies. Because the Allies occupied relatively more ports in the world, all the ships of the Central Powers were detained in the ports by the Allies, and their ownership would be decided after the end of the war.

Although the Germans established a high seas fleet that could almost challenge Britain before the war, almost was almost, and it had not yet reached the level of certainty. Therefore, after the start of the world war, the German high seas fleet almost always stayed in the German military port to guard against the Allies' surprise attack from the sea.

From February to March, three of Fisher's ships had been sunk. Although it was not enough to hurt Fisher, the lost profits were enough to give Fisher a headache, because Fisher did not know how much he would lose in the next April.

It was a sunny morning, and it should have been a good day for an outing, but Fisher could not be happy no matter how he looked at the newspaper in his hand.

The front page headline of Le Figaro reported 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 boastful liars. This number must be inflated!" Fisher rolled up the newspaper in his hand and threw it into the wastebasket beside his desk.

The numbers in the newspaper were very exaggerated. If it was according to what the newspaper said, the Comoz Shipping Company alone contributed more than one-tenth of this number, and there were more than a hundred companies of Comoz Shipping's size in Britain and France!

"Damn Lloyd George, damn Raymond Poincaré, is Thomas Wilson your real father? Can't you send a few damn destroyers to the Mediterranean?" Fisher was whirling around in the office, cursing.

Britain and France are indeed escorting, but they are concentrated in the Atlantic route, and the Mediterranean route cannot be taken care of for a while. And Fisher's ship is going to the Far East, and the Mediterranean route is Fisher's lifeline.

"Sir, there is a Mr. Allen from Paris who wants to see you." The secretary with big breasts and big buttocks knocked on the door.

"No, I don't want to see anyone, unless it's George Gray, don't bother me." Fisher was not in the mood to flirt as before, and yelled at the secretary who was as beautiful as peaches and plums.

George Gray is the current Colonial Secretary. Because of the relationship between the colonies and the navy, George Gray is the most popular candidate for the next Minister of the Navy.

By the way, Alexander Ribot's trip as prime minister lasted only a short week. Alexander Ribot did not come up with a convincing cabinet list. This may be his last trip as prime minister.

The current prime minister is not Clemenceau, who is highly popular, but Paul Painlevé, the Minister of Education and Minister of Invention during Briand's period. Paul Painlevé's cabinet list has only received a certain degree of praise. It is better to say that Paul Painlevé has gained the trust of the parliament than to say that it is the product of compromise among various forces in the parliament.

"This Mr. Allen said that he can guarantee the safe navigation of the company's ships in the Mediterranean." The secretary pushed her eyes on the bridge of her nose. This action made her arms, which were already hugged, clamped tighter, and the size of her chest looked bigger.

"God, why didn't you say it earlier? Please invite him in!" Fisher turned from anger to joy, stepped forward and grabbed a handful of the secretary's chest, and then slapped her on the buttocks.

"As you wish!" The secretary did not shake her head, but shook her tight buttocks wrapped in trousers, and threw a seductive glance, and then turned and left gracefully.

If the person who came was not too important to Fisher, she would not have left!

"Hello, Mr. Fisher." Allen, dressed in a suit and tie, was polite and handed over a gold-plated business card with both hands.

"Hello, nice to meet you." Fisher responded politely.

The handwriting on the business card was clear: General Manager of LLL Company.

"LLL Company... Please forgive me, I know nothing about your company." Fisher was suspicious.

Many salesmen come to Fisher every day, including some professional liars, and Fisher has always been on high alert. Fisher really knew nothing about the "LLL" company. He had never heard of the company's name before.

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 Company.

"Yes, we are a new company with multiple businesses. I think there is something you need among them." Allen was very busy.

"Why not." Fisher was 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. The contract stipulated that Allen owned 3% of the shares of "LLL" company. Although these shares could not be transferred, Allen could enjoy the dividends of 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 business people. Now Allen's men are doing the same thing as Allen, busily traveling between Britain and France, around the Mediterranean, and even around the world.

"LLL" company is Qin Zhiyuan's first tentacle reaching out to the world.
