Chapter 448, Zhang's Shipyard

Tianjin Zhang's Shipyard.

Because the fleet to the Golden Continent brought back gold and silver worth [-] million taels of silver, the entire Ming Dynasty was in agitation. The dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, gentry, wealthy families, etc. from all over the Ming Dynasty all gathered in the Beijing-Tianjin area, wanting to participate. In this wave of wealth.

Naturally, the business of many shipyards in Tianjin has also become extremely hot. Every day, a large number of people come to inspect and negotiate the purchase of ships.

The Zhang brothers don’t even want to go back in the capital now, and even their queen sister hasn’t seen it for a while, and the food in the palace has suddenly become unsavory, and the two brothers are nesting in their own Zhang’s shipyard Here, sell boats here.

At this time, the Zhang brothers were accompanying Cheng Bo'an, Zhu Benduan, Feng Xiang, and Ye Li to inspect their shipyard privately. With the energy of the Zhang brothers, they naturally found out clearly at once. He is a real big buyer, as long as he can finalize these four people, it is absolutely inevitable that he will have a big order on his head.

The shipyard of the Zhang Brothers is the second largest shipyard in Tianjin. The first must be the Tianjin Shipyard. Nowadays, the Tianjin Shipyard has opened a branch factory, which is very large in scale and employs many workers. There are more than [-] people, and they can launch hundreds of large ships and hundreds of small boats every month.

Although Zhang’s Shipyard is far away from Tianjin Shipyard, it employs thousands of people and can launch dozens of ships of various types every month. At present, it is able to build fishing boats, whaling boats and Dafu ferry.

"Several people, this is the big ship that our Zhang's Shipyard can build for oceangoing. This ship is exactly the same as the boat used to go to the Golden Island this time. They are all big blessing ships. They are large in size, deep in water, and capable of oceangoing. Strong, it is definitely the best choice to go to Golden Continent."

Zhang Yanling, Marquis of Shouning, pointed to a big blessing boat in the dock that was almost completed.

At the beginning, the two brothers opened the shipyard because they felt that the ships of Tianjin Shipyard were too expensive. Following the example of Tianjin Shipyard, they also hired some shipbuilders from all over Ming Dynasty at a high price, including some who used to specialize in The master of the blessing boat finally built this blessing boat.

Hearing the words of Shouning Marquis Zhang Yanling, Cheng Boan, Zhu Benduan, Feng Xiang and Ye Li hurriedly looked over. The Dafu ship in front of them was huge in size, and its shape was indeed the same as the one they saw in Tianjin Port. What a difference.

"Is this boat really the same as the boat they used in Taiping?"

Cheng Boan thought for a while and asked.

"Don't worry about safekeeping. They are all the same big blessing boats. There is no difference. The length, width, internal structure, etc. are all the same. There is absolutely no problem going to Huangjinzhou."

Shouning Marquis Zhang Yanling patted his chest and said.

"How much silver does this boat cost?"

Ye Li nodded slightly, thought for a while and asked.

"In the past, it was sold for [-] taels of silver, but now it is sold for [-] taels of silver. If the factory raises prices, we naturally follow suit.”

"However, if you order enough ships to reach five, I can sell you one for [-], and if you order ten, I can sell you one for [-]."

Shouning Marquis Zhang Yanling thought about it for a while and said.

"It's too expensive. This boat is just some wood, and it costs one hundred thousand taels of silver. It's too expensive, too expensive~"

After hearing this, Zhu Benduan shook his head repeatedly and said.

"expensive?"

"You may not know how expensive the ships of Tianjin Shipyard are. For the same kind of lucky boat, Tianjin Shipyard sells them for [-] taels of silver, but I only sell them for [-] taels of silver. Less than half the price."

When Zhang Heling, Bo Jianchang, heard this, he immediately widened his eyes in displeasure and said.

"But I've also heard that although the ships from Tianjin Shipyard are expensive, their ships are of very good quality. As for ships from other shipyards, it is said that there will be some problems to some extent."

Feng Xiang nodded, and then expressed his doubts.

He went to Tianjin Shipyard and also visited Tianjin Shipyard. Compared with Zhang's Shipyard and Tianjin Shipyard, there is no comparison between the two.

The Tianjin Shipyard shipyard is very clean, everything is neatly visited, various accessories, parts processing workshops, assembly docks, etc., everything is well-managed and very standardized.

What's more important is that the shipbuilders, employees, etc. of Tianjin Shipyard all feel very good, and their mental outlooks are completely different.

On the other hand, at Zhang's Shipyard, the management in all aspects is completely ineffective. The shipyard is in a mess, and all kinds of sawdust, waste, etc. can be seen everywhere.

In addition, Feng Xiang couldn't see many smiles on the employees of Zhang's Shipyard, let alone the self-confidence and pride of the employees of Tianjin Shipyard. He felt that it was very huge.

"quality?"

"Tianjin Shipyard just blown it out. In fact, the ships are all the same, and there is no difference. There can be any difference in quality."

"The boats built by our shipyard can also be used for fishing, whaling, and earning money at sea."

"There are more than one or two people who bought my boat. So far, I have never heard of anyone saying that my boat is not good. On the contrary, those who have made money continue to come and place orders with me, buy more boats and earn more money. silver."

When it comes to quality, Shouning Marquis Zhang Yanling smiled dismissively. In his opinion, shipbuilding is the same thing, and the ships in Tianjin Shipyard are just like that. There is nothing special about it.

That is to say, they brag about how good their quality is, but they use it to sell it at a higher price.

Hearing Zhang Yanling's words, Cheng Bo'an and Zhu Benduan also nodded slightly.

"If we buy ten ships at once, how long will it take to build them?"

Cheng Boan and the others looked at each other and nodded slightly, and he immediately understood what the others meant.

"Buy ten ships at once?"

When Jianchang Bo Zhang Heling heard this, he immediately smiled and raised his eyebrows. This is a big deal, ten big ships at one time, a big deal of one million taels of silver. If this order is won, it will definitely make a lot of money.

"If you buy ten ships at once, we only need five months to build them for you."

Zhang Yanling thought for a while and said.

"Five months?"

"How long?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Li frowned and said.

"Five months is already very short. I know that you are eager to go to the Golden Island to make a lot of money, but it is winter, so it is not suitable to go to the Golden Island, because it is close to the Arctic Circle in the Pacific Ocean, and there are ice floes. Go now It's too dangerous."

"So if you want to go to the Golden Isle, you have to wait until the spring of next year picks up. It's been a few months. By that time, the ship will be built, and you can just go to the Golden Isle. You can also recruit crew members, train crew members, prepare supplies and so on during the time.”

"After all, the Golden Continent is thousands of miles away. The road is treacherous, and anything can happen, so the more preparation the better, the preparation time of several months is still required."

"The crew members who go to the Golden Isle must be carefully selected, and they must also undergo special training and training. It is best to go to the Wa country for a few times to train and adapt to sailing."

"So it takes a few months to get all kinds of things done."

"In addition, it is really not enough to use wood to make this shape in shipbuilding. It takes a long time to prepare the wood alone. Not all wood can be used to build ships."

"Not to mention anything else, just the wood used to make the keel is not ordinary wood, and the price is extremely expensive, which is why the boat is so expensive."

Shouning Marquis Zhang Yanling said very patiently.

The Zhang brothers also spent a lot of effort in order to earn money. They also conducted research on the route to the Golden Isle, and even asked some crew members for advice. They spend their time here at the shipyard every day, and they know a little about shipbuilding. Say one, two, three, four.

The Zhang brothers themselves are also building a fleet to go to the Golden Continent, and they have conducted some research carefully and summed up some experience.

"That's it~"

"I didn't expect there to be so much knowledge in it."

When Cheng Boan heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. He didn’t expect that there are so many ways to go to the Golden Continent, and he can only start when the weather gets warmer. The preparations will take several months. It seems that the money may not be enough. There is such a good profit.

"Of course~"

"If this Golden Continent is so easy to get to, wouldn't everyone be making money?"

Zhang Yanling nodded and said.

"Master Hou, Uncle, this matter is too big. We need to go back and discuss it carefully before deciding whether to place an order."

Cheng Boan nodded, then thought for a while and said, it is definitely impossible to place an order right away after seeing it once, and he still needs to go back and discuss it with everyone.

It seems that going to the Golden Continent is not that easy. Their preparations seem to be too hasty. It is best to find a professional person to take charge of this matter.

At the same time, this ship still needs to visit a few more shipyards, compare them carefully, and then decide whether to place an order with the Zhang brothers' shipyard.

"It's okay, it's okay~"

"With such a large list, we really need to be cautious and not rush things."

"However, I'll just say something earlier. At present, there are many people looking for us to buy ships. We also produce according to the order of the order. The first to come will be the first to produce, so you still have to hurry up as much as possible."

Zhang Yanling said with a smile all over his face, this order, he is definitely settled.
