Chapter 624

How much is a design worth? This is a difficult answer to find guidance.

Generally speaking, the design drawing comes from the ship, and the drawing price and the designer's cost will naturally be included in the ship's cost, that is, it is absolutely impossible to exceed the ex factory price minus the residual value of raw materials and labor.

And what is the value of a ship?

According to the Royal dock theory of Great Britain, after maximizing the elimination of market interference, the cost of a six-level brig is generally 8000-10000 pounds, and the five-level Galen is 20000-25000 pounds.

Most of the class IV ships are upgraded from the old class III, and few of the newly built ships cost more than 30000 pounds.

The price of shipbuilding rises from level 3, which is generally no more than 50000 pounds. The second level is the same as the fourth level. There are almost no new ships, and the cost of a few new ships is no more than 70000. The construction cost of class I ships is the highest, with an average of 100000 pounds.

For this reason, Drake maritime group's second-generation God class with a cost of more than 35000 pounds, the valkiri class with a cost of nearly 80000 pounds and the female warrior class with a cost of 180000 can not be regarded as "excellent design" even if they achieve the dominance of the same level or even leap level.

The reason here is very simple. They are too expensive.

The proportion of a design drawing in the ship cost will not exceed 10%, that is, making a design drawing of a class III ship will not exceed 5000 pounds at the top.

But the design drawing of fury can't be calculated like this.

In order to shoot as high value as possible, its integrity far exceeds the requirements of normal ship design drawings.

The full design drawings of a standard ship manufactured by the maritime group rarely exceed 100, and it takes about 150 to manufacture a custom-made ship.

As the first ship of the second generation serving God, the Mistra has 427 full pictures. The design of the lady is based on valkiri, with a total of 342. Valkiri changed his design ideas several times, and the total number of drawings reached 796. It is the only fuller design atlas in Lorraine's hand than fury.

The design drawing of fury can not be regarded as a simple shipbuilding design drawing at all. It is more like a rookie tutorial on how to make a standard French class III battleship.

As long as you have it, any designer with mediocre talent can easily imitate a light, fast, cheap and stable French warship. If you have a better talent, you may be able to directly understand the design mystery of French warships through this set of drawings, and become the world's top ship designer.

For this reason, Lorin will not be surprised no matter how high the price of the design is finally photographed.

Compared with several class III battleships, Lorraine was more curious about the extent to which the French navy had rotted and would allow such a priceless treasure related to the country's foundation to flow into the market in this ridiculous way.

Is the end of Bourbon coming?

Lorraine was suddenly excited. Compared with the obscure and chaotic war of independence, he was obviously more impressed by the glorious French Revolution.

The smoke of the Bastille, the beacon of the Paris Commune, the guillotine of Louis XVI and Queen Mary, and Robespierre were hung on the cross and whipped.

Of course, that magnificent history cannot lack the lion of Corsica, the hero king who swept the whole Europe like a comet, the fierce battle of Trafalgar, Nelson's curtain call and the highlight of life

What could Drake do in that era?

What can you guard? What can change? What can you grab? What can be saved?

Perhaps secretly buying Louis XVI and his deficit queen, like a mischievous imp, fundamentally messed up that great era?

Lorraine couldn't help laughing.

The design of fury has risen to 127000 pounds, box 21 has been abandoned, and three rounds have been competed between No. 9 and No. 30.

Lorraine hasn't lit the light once so far.

He didn't even pay much attention to the progress of the auction, because he believed that those who could really decide the ownership of fury, whether dukov of Russia or bartolomio of Portugal, were watching coldly in the box.

The hot field is not over yet. The real auction will begin only when the winner is decided on the 9th and 30th.

11:14... 133000 pounds.

11:22... 151000 pounds.

11:37... 160000 pounds, abandoned on the 30th!

Then

"Free bidding!" the emcee uttered a hoarse breaking sound, "box 9 costs 160000 pounds. The first bid for box 16 is free bidding! Free bidding!"

Lorraine sat upright for the first time.

He raised his hand and pushed away the wine glass on the tea table. He was sitting on the sofa, staring at the master of ceremonies who had lost his temper and reveled in the middle of the stage.

"Edre."

"Yes!"

"No matter what the number of free quotes is, turn on the light."

"Yes!"

"Major Harry Sheffield." Lorraine suddenly called Harry's name, and SIG and Carmen's faces changed at the same time.

"260000 pounds is not enough..." Carmen bit his lips. "It seems that he spent too much last night..."

"The merchant world... Unexpected cruelty." Seager sighed. "Harry, Ryan, threat or murder, ask the Salomon chamber of Commerce box in 15 minutes. Remember, it's only 15 minutes."

"Yes."

Harry and Ryan trotted out the door. Soon, the free bidding of box 16 was sent to the master of ceremonies.

180000 pounds.

Box 16 took seven minutes to make such a regular offer, with an increase of 20000 pounds and a total price of 180000 pounds.

For more than half an hour, the red light was on the 9th, but at the same time, the yellow light was on the 7th, that is, Lorraine's box for the first time.

The Emcee's eyes flashed crazy light. He took a deep breath and just wanted to continue the competition between Lorraine and No. 16. Suddenly, another light glimpsed in the corner of his eye.

Red and yellow, free bidding, is... No. 2!

The emcee felt his nerve was breaking!

As a professional auctioneer, he has traveled around the world's major high-level auction houses and handled thousands of auctions, but he has never handled more than 100000 crazy bidding, let alone seen people launch attacks by means of free bidding at the high price of 180000.

Ibias renisso!

The master of ceremonies deeply remembered the name. He felt the sublimation of his soul and felt that he was witnessing the birth of Da Vinci or Raphael in a new era.

"Free bidding! Box 16 costs 180000 pounds, box 2 applies for free bidding, and the auction is suspended!!!"

Seager breathed a long sigh of relief: "it's good. It seems that someone has bought us enough time..."

"Old dukov may not be what you want." Lorraine shook his head reluctantly. "The 7-minute offer just now shows the identity and character of Mr. bartolomio on the 16th. Old dukov's bid will not be so gentle, and we can't win much time."

"So it's mild to increase the price by ￡ 20000 now?" Seager rolled his eyes.

"The combination of hesitation for 7 minutes and an increase of 20000 pounds is a mild performance." Lorraine shrugged. "Of course, the price call just now may have been arranged by old dukov by his nephew. But that was the worst result. It proved that old dukov brought too much money, and even 160000 was not enough to make him serious..."

"That's too bad."
