Chapter 213 This Santi is capable
Victory put down the plan and placed it on the coffee table.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" The performance of the Victory was really a bit strange. What about Santi's plan? Su Xia couldn't help asking.
Victory narrowed his eyes, leaned back on the sofa again, looked tired, and said, "Admiral, do you know Santi?"
"I know." Su Xia said. As an admiral, how could he not even know his own ship girl?
Historically, after the start of World War II, German submarines frequently attacked ships in British ports and transport fleets that lacked effective protection, with great success. With the entry of the United States into the war, Germany repeated the same old trick. Therefore, both Britain and the United States urgently needed to equip a large number of escort aircraft carriers for anti-submarine escort.
Thus, a new type of escort aircraft carrier, the Borg class, emerged, which was converted from the C3 standard cargo ship hull.
However, the number of C3 cargo ship hulls was far from enough at the time. In order to build more escort aircraft carriers as quickly as possible, the Navy planned to take out four Borg-class ships under construction as the Sangamon-class, which used a large and fast oil tanker hull.
The USS Santee is the fourth ship of the Sangamon light aircraft carrier.
In the game, since the Santee was converted from an oil tanker, its character was based on the "oil tycoons", true capitalists.
Victory said: "I'm not asking if the admiral knows Santi... How should I put it? I want to ask... Does the admiral know what Santi did after joining the garrison? "
"Not sure." Su Xia shook her head.
He had only been in the garrison for a short time, so he had no time to pay attention to the Santi. Even though the Santi had a lot of memes, and there were a lot of fan art and meme pictures on the Internet, the problem was that her combat ability in the game was really poor, so he had never paid much attention to it before, and now he didn't care that much.
"I knew it, Admiral, you don't know what Santi has done since joining the garrison." Victory said, "Really, there is no such admiral. Apart from occasionally returning to the garrison to pay attention to sorties, exercises, and expeditions, he only stays for a while when the deep-sea flagship appears, and occasionally does a large-scale construction and builds a few new ships, but he doesn't care about anything else."
"Don't talk about that anymore. It's in the past tense." Su Xia said, "What's the problem, Santi ?"
Victory turned to the side and saw L20 lying on the sofa, holding her phone high up and playing with it. Her towering chest couldn't hold anything, so the snack plate was placed on her stomach. In fact, she didn't put the snack plate there, but they wanted to use the coffee table, and Su Xia put it there out of mischief. Anyway, L20 didn't object.
"Admiral, you know that L20 is a pauper." Victory gave an example, "He has no money and can't afford to go to a Chinese restaurant. He comes to the office every day to eat snacks and can't afford to buy them himself..."
"I'm a pauper, but that's because I've only been at the garrison for... a month or two. Compared to you guys who have been here for so long, I must be poor and have no money." L20 snorted, "I'm a secretary ship now, with a very high salary every month. If I had joined the garrison earlier, like you guys who have been here for as long as I have, I would also be a rich woman."
"Shut up and don't talk." Victory said. She had no intention of chatting with L20 now.
"Oh." L20 stopped talking. She was very obedient and continued playing with her phone and eating snacks.
"Compared to L20, Santi has been in the garrison for as long as she has, and she is already a wealthy woman." Victory asked, "Admiral, do you know what Santi has done?"
Su Xia said, "Don't keep us in suspense. What's going on?"
Victory opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.
Victory thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to explain her story right away. It's probably... when she first came here, she had nothing like L20. She earned money by working part-time, and then invested. The first company she opened was Santi Consulting Company, which mainly helped people renovate their stores, help people make money and save money, and then charge them."
"In short," Victory paused, "Santi is the best at making money. He is the best investor in the garrison, and he also has the best management skills and means."
"I don't care whether she is good at making money or not, as long as she doesn't do anything illegal." Su Xia said.
"I just want to ask about the feasibility of this plan." Su Xia touched the plan that Victory had placed on the coffee table and picked it up. "It looks really great, so great that it seems fake. Anyway, with my level, I can't see any problem."
"I can understand other people's business plans. But Santi's business plan... I'm not as good as hers." Victory said.
"Then," Su Xia hesitated, "What should we do now? How should we grade it? Mutsu's proposal has scored 90 points, and her proposal... the full score is 100 points. Even if it is a full score, it is only 10 points higher than Mutsu's proposal. Not enough."
Victory tapped his slender fingers on the table and said, "Let's not rate it for now. It's good that we know about it."
"In any case," Victory said, "I don't want Santee to be the manager of this big cafeteria."
"Why?" Su Xia asked.
"She has a problem."
"What's the problem?"
"I don't know what the problem is." Victory said, "I'm just sure that guy only thinks about making money and will never do anything that can't make money."
"No problem." Su Xia said, "The cafeteria is free and no fees are allowed. Could she dare to embezzle?"
"She definitely won't embezzle. Don't underestimate Santi, she won't embezzle. Something like embezzlement is not something a ship girl would do." Victory said, "I just feel that if Santi takes control of the cafeteria, nothing good will happen. She will definitely do something weird."
Victory asked, "Does the Admiral believe me?"
"Of course I believe in Victory." Su Xia said, "Who else can I believe in?"
Su Xia said, "No problem, it doesn't have to be a business plan. Even if she gets the highest score in this part, I don't believe that her cooking skills are so good that she can surpass Yixian, Mutsu and others in the cooking competition. It's not that easy to become a cafeteria manager."
Victory hesitated, waved his hand, and said, "That's it."
Su Xia didn't care. He thought Santi was fine. As long as he abided by the rules and made money legally, it was up to him to make as much money as he wanted.
Since there are still projects to be done and the work isn't finished yet, now is not the time to get hung up on it, although those last few projects... after reading Santi's, I felt that they were just too ordinary and it would be fine to just give them a decent score.
By the time all the proposals were graded, it was not close to lunch time, but already past lunch time.
Su Xia also wanted to ask Victory about Santi.
"Let's go, let's go eat." L20 saw that the work was finished and shouted. She had been waiting for a long time, "Izakaya."
Anyway, Su Xia regretted that she shouldn't have brought L20 around with her. Now this girl is relying on her. How can the food in a German canteen be as delicious as that in a Chinese restaurant or izakaya? At most, she would be scolded or bullied. It was great to eat for free.
After lunch, L20 ran away immediately without delay or courtesy. Since there was nothing else to do, Su Xia planned to go back to her room and take a nap.
Passing the first floor of Guanhai Building, Su Xia saw that several shops that had been closed before had opened one. It was a coffee shop. A man was standing by the bar in the coffee shop, mumbling, looking around and gesturing.
He stood in the corridor for a while, wanting to see who that was, and saw a woman with short curly hair, wearing a white shirt and a tight skirt, dressed like an urban beauty.
Isn't that Santi?
As Suxia hesitated whether to say hello, Santi saw him standing in the corridor outside the store and shouted, "Admiral."
"Um."
"Have you eaten?" Sang asked.
"We just finished eating." Su Xia asked, "What are you doing here?"
"We have been closed for many days. I don't know how much money we have lost. We can't go on like this. We must reopen in the next few days." Santi said, "I came here today to see if we need to redecorate and what needs to be changed."
Santi asked calmly, "Does the Admiral like the current decoration?"
"It's okay." Su Xia took a look.
"What kind of decoration do you like, Admiral?"
"As for me," Su Xia said, "I personally prefer something simpler. Simple is not the same as easy... I don't know how to put it, but it's better if it's not too fancy."
Santi said seriously, "I understand."
Su Xia reminded: "I'm just saying, don't decorate according to what I say, it's just my opinion, I won't be responsible if there is any problem."
"Of course, I'm not an unreasonable person."
Su Xia did not comment. She stood inside the store and looked into the corridor. This was the information she got from Xiao Zhai. She said, "I heard that you bought all these stores?"
"Yes," said Santi. "I think if we open a store here, business will definitely be booming."
"Business will definitely be booming." Su Xia cooperated. His emotional intelligence was not that low and he thought it was still okay. No matter what, it was definitely a blessing.
"So," Santi said suddenly, "is the Admiral interested?"
"What interests?" Su Xia asked.
"That is to say," Santi turned around and sat on a high stool next to the bar, "Admiral, are you interested in investing?"
"You don't know, I'm a pauper." Su Xia said, he really saw how expensive the cost was in the garrison these days, it was so high that it was scary. Fortunately, he didn't need to spend money anywhere, and even if he wanted to give money, people would get angry or scared.
Santi said, "I lend money to the admiral, and the admiral invests in the shares. Is that okay?"
"This..." Su Xia didn't know what to say. He was surprised that there was such a thing?
"I guarantee to make money," Santi said. "We can sign a bet agreement. If we don't make money in the end, I will buy back all the shares, and it will not be lower than the price the admiral originally invested."
Su Xia said: "What's the difference between this and giving me shares for free?"
"There is a difference." Santi said, "After this walk, others will not be able to find any problems if they want to investigate the admiral."
"Whoever investigates me, who dares to investigate me." Su Xia smiled.
"If the Admiral is not afraid." Santi raised his hand and raised his index and middle fingers, "Then I will give the Admiral 20% of the shares."
"Why are you giving me shares?" Su Xia said, "No merit, no reward."
Santi said: "As long as the admiral takes more care of me in the future, it will be fine."
"I won't do that kind of thing, accepting bribes and acting as a protective umbrella for others." Su Xia said righteously.
"We are doing legitimate business, and we don't need the admiral to act as a protective umbrella. But we should not have the intention to harm others, but we must be on guard against others." Santi said, "As long as the admiral has a share here, I don't have to worry about others coveting it. It's better to give it to the admiral than to spend so much money on welcoming and seeing off guests."
Su Xia said: "It's okay, as long as you abide by the law, no one will dare to do anything to your store."
"The admiral is a man of high moral character. I was mistaken," said Santi. "Under the admiral's leadership, the garrison will surely become more and more prosperous."
"Thank you for your good words."
"Since the admiral doesn't want the shares, Santi won't give them to him." Santi said, narrowing her eyes. The admiral was really stubborn, but if a person didn't seek money, he would definitely seek sex. In any case, he would seek something.
Santi smiled. She had thought of a solution and said, "Since the admiral has given his assurance, I feel relieved. What I am worried about now is... The decoration is easy to solve, but it is mainly difficult to find employees. There are only so many people in the garrison, and only so many people are willing to come out to work. It is impossible to recruit new people, otherwise the only way is to poach them?"
Santi said, "I'm going to dig up some archerfish as a treat, what do you think, Admiral?"
Su Xia's body stiffened for a moment, and she said calmly, "You can recruit people however you want. Why ask me?"
"It's just that archerfish are a little hard to dig. But I've got a plan," Santi said. "I can give archerfish twice its current salary, and promise to let bluefin mullet come to work, too. She'll definitely agree. By the way, let's call barbel and surgeonfish over as well, so they can work together as sisters."
Santi continued, "I've decided on a store manager. Fletcher is the right one. She's very capable at work. If Fletcher comes to be the store manager, her sisters will definitely come over often to play, like Sullivan, Sigsby, Potato, Hillman, Clarkston..."
Santi slapped his forehead and said, "There's nothing we can do. The adults all have jobs, so if we want to recruit people, we can only consider the children."
"But they are all children. If there is no adult around, I'm worried that they will be bullied. I hope that this won't happen." Santi pretended to be worried.
Su Xia said firmly: "It's okay. No one in the garrison will bully them. Everyone is a good person."
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for one." said Santi.
"Nothing happens." Su Xia said.
"I believe in the Admiral." Santi said, "It's time to open the store. The Admiral should come often."
"Definitely." Su Xia felt that she had gone too far and coughed. "I can't promise to come often. I can only say that I live upstairs and I'll come and sit for a while if I have nothing to do."
Santi sneered secretly.
