What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 38 Gaijin Hotel

The missiles from the other side are still very sharp, and sending a B25 over to provoke them is ultimately just an idea.

In the end, Tang Wen just wandered around in the uninhabited sea area. At this time, there was not even a fishing boat around.

The bomber found a random place to drop the 3000-pound bomb in the bomb bay, causing hundreds of fish to turn pale, and then returned to the aircraft carrier to land.

Although the rear deck of the Hornet was full of aircraft at this time, thanks to the powerful mechanism controlled by the commander, the B25 touched the ground in the middle of the deck and slid less than 80 meters before stopping steadily.

If Newton saw this, he would probably open his coffin and say that this is unscientific.

However, Tang Wen and Tang Yi got off the plane safely. At this time, the sun was about to set, and the lights in various places in the port lit up one after another, presenting a prosperous scene.

Judging from its scale alone, the port is much more valuable than a shipyard. If it is properly managed, it may even replace Dayuan Town.

After all, the port can also produce a large amount of non-staple food, which is still quite competitive in this era.

Compared to the simple shipyard, Tang Wen prefers to stay in the port.

He walked into the hotel which occupied the best location in the center and found that the sign was also "Gaijin Hotel". It was a large building with twelve floors. The interior decoration was also very high-end, with genuine leather decorations everywhere.

Since there were only staff members in the port at this time, the streets and hotels seemed deserted.

Tang Wen walked to the front desk, and the lobby manager with dyed blond hair respectfully offered the commander the presidential suite on the top floor and said that the buffet restaurant was open.

The restaurant occupies the 7th floor, which has the highest height. It also has a classic 40s decoration style. The walls are decorated with soft bags and golden wallpaper, and the ceiling is hung with intricate crystal chandeliers.

There are semi-open glass cabinets on both sides of the restaurant. The kitchen stores the prepared dishes below, while the upper ones are filled with desserts and fruits.

There is also a piano in the corner of the restaurant that looks very expensive, and there is a stage next to it for band performances.

No matter what era, the highest level of enjoyment is always online.

Tang Wen was secretly shocked when he saw this. Before he traveled through time, the most expensive hotel he had ever stayed in was a four-star hotel on the seaside during the off-season, but in terms of style and grade, the Port Hotel was superior.

There is no way, this is the special treatment for navy idiots.

Take the neighboring island country, which lives a good life, as an example. In the late stage of World War II, the canned beef of the army was a mixture of butter and offal to make up the number. The rations of ordinary soldiers in the later period were even worse than those of Mr. Ba, and it was difficult to get enough to eat.

In order to have enough food to eat, the forced child soldiers even worked as tenants for Shandong landlords...

But what about the navy of the same period? The Combined Fleet maintained the same supplies as before the war until its defeat.

Taking the Yamato as an example, officers like the captain have their own small kitchen, which is equipped with desserts, fruits, sashimi, red wine, etc. There is also a military band playing during meals, and this is on a warship!

Even the lowest-ranking soldiers were provided with rice balls, sushi, barbecue, and even a special ice cream machine.

It's not just the Combined Fleet. The treatment of the navies of various countries is almost as good as that of the air force. A sailor's salary can easily support high consumption in bars, high-end restaurants, geishas, ​​etc., and they are real middle-class people.

The same is true for Gaijin Port. The purpose of the entire port is to serve at least tens of thousands of sailors and maintain a high quality of life, which is not much different from real history.

After Tang Wen and Tang Yi entered, they were immediately greeted by a waiter who brought them all kinds of tableware and poured them coffee.

Even as a special person, Tang Wen can order dishes and have them cooked to order.

Sitting on a chair of moderate firmness, Tang Yi almost shed tears.

I've been summoned by the commander for half a month, and finally I'm able to have some decent food.

The shipyard cafeteria only meets basic needs. Although the food is not bad, it is just passable. Even when I went to Goose City last time, I didn't see many decent restaurants.

Only after entering the Harbor Hotel did Tang Yi feel his identity as the chief designer.

Tang Wen sitting opposite him was in a similar situation. The boredom of life in the small village in 96 was unimaginable. The port hotel actually made him feel like he was back in the civilized world.

The two of them immediately let go of their reserve, and plates of exquisite snacks and dishes were brought to the table one after another, and they just focused on cooking.

After showing off two lobsters, a plate of tuna, oysters and countless other seafood, Tang Wen, still unsatisfied, forked his pineapple pasta, feeling overwhelmed with emotion.

Tang Yi, a little old man with slightly weaker fighting ability, shook his red wine glass reservedly, as if the person who just held the whole roasted suckling pig was not him.

The food ingredients provided by the port are rich enough and the chefs are of high quality, not inferior to those in the future.

"Commander, I'm requesting that the dormitories for mid-level and higher-ranking personnel be moved to the Gaijin Hotel."

Tang Wen puffed up his cheeks and nodded, then swallowed the last bit of pasta and added:
"I think it's nice to work here. There are coconut trees outside, which is good for everyone's physical and mental health."

An old man and a young boy happened to meet and were enjoying their dessert when they saw the waiter loading untouched plates into the dining cart.

Seeing this, Tang Wen asked curiously:
"What is this for?"

"Commander, these dishes have been sitting around for over an hour. Unlike dessert, their flavor has clearly deteriorated and they need to be removed. Some of them will be used as staff meals, and the rest will be promptly discarded."

Please rest assured that the kitchen has a 24-hour rotation mechanism to ensure that guests can enjoy sufficient food at any time when they come to the restaurant. "

Looking at the long glass display case that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see, Tang Wen immediately realized how much stuff he had to throw away.

Moreover, based on the one-hour rotation of hot dishes, the amount of food thrown away is astronomical.

He glanced at the panel and found that the port had a fixed monthly expenditure of 800 silver coins, which was much higher than the shipyard's minimum of 450 silver coins.

In fact, this is relatively cheap, because the port has more buildings and personnel than the shipyard, and the power consumption is not much different, not including the large amount of material supply.

Compared with this, 600 silver coins are nothing, not to mention that they are fixed.

However, this does not include marine fuel, and the port's oil tanks, which can store 50,000 tons of heavy oil, are empty.

Tang Wen immediately realized that this was an opportunity to make some money, and quickly said:
"Pack up all the dishes that are to be removed and send them to the shipyard for extra meals."

It's only eight o'clock now, which is a good time to improve the treatment of the shipyard.

At this time, Tang Yi next to him reminded:
"The distance between the bay and the shipyard is about two kilometers, and there's no road. Trucks would break down if they were sent there. Let's use a boat."

In fact, not only is there no road, but the port land does not belong to Tang Wen. Strictly speaking, this is called illegal occupation of land.

Fortunately, the surrounding area is under the jurisdiction of Dayuan Village, so it’s just a matter of asking the village chief to write a note.

As for repairing two kilometers of road... the system didn't find this option, so you have to figure it out yourself.

Since the port is located in a C-shaped bay and backed by mountains, it is not easy to build a coastal highway.

The shipyard is also close to the sea, so it is more convenient to take a small boat to travel back and forth in the short term.

Tang Wen recalled the surrounding layout in his mind, and a development plan came to his mind.
