Chen Wenhui's eyes lit up: "Yes, why didn't I think that I could be your Hei family's ship to reach the northern harbor, Xinguang City, this road is not bumpy." ”

Zhou Maocai said: "Yes, there are many ships of our Hei family, all of which are in the dock of Feixia City, in addition to the shipyard in Feixia City, we also have several large shipyards in overseas strongholds, so there are more ships of our Hei family than your entire Dachu." ”

Chen Wenhui rolled her eyes and said, "Of course, how long has it been since we started sea trade in Dachu?" Your black family has been in business for hundreds of years, take us to see which one of the black families is in charge of this shipyard? ’

Zhou Maocai said: "It is our Heigetang. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled very brightly: "That's good, let's go and see first, if it's good, I still want to buy a few more boats to go back, after all, our shipyard in Shanghai, shipbuilding is too slow, and we have to sell it to those merchants, so that our Chen family is such a big family, we can't spend the money, we can't buy boats." In my opinion, with the huge financial resources of our Chen family, why do we have to have hundreds of sea ships in order to have face? ”

Chen Wenjun couldn't help laughing in the back, his sister was already calculating Zhou Maocai, so it was difficult for only women and villains to raise, and it was very pitiful to offend women, especially little women.

Zhou Maocai didn't know that he had been calculated, and he was taking the Chen family brothers and sisters to visit their black family's shipyard with great interest.

The dockyard of the Hei family is very large, and there are those who specialize in building new ships, some who specialize in repairing old ships, and some newly built ships are parked in the berths. Of course, compared with the shipyards in Shanghai, the biggest feature of this dock is that the skilled workers are very high, and there is no shortage of skilled workers. Chen Wenhui and Chen Wenjun were overjoyed, left the dock, and in the carriage, Chen Wenhui couldn't wait to ask Zhou Maocai: "Master Zhou, I can explain to you a day's chemistry, can you sell me a few boats?" I'm going to make a few more to order, but the price is going to give me a 7% discount. ”

Zhou Maocai became happy when he heard that he could explain chemistry for a day. Busy said: "This is easy to say, we have already built in this dockyard, and there are five new ships ready to be used, you can buy them all." We can also use and reinvent. As for placing an order, it's even better. You must know that the workers of our shipyard have always only built ships for us, so they are idle for half of the year, farming in the surrounding areas, moving at the docks, and working in the warehouse. So, with an order, it is great that they can get a few more months of high monthly money from the shipyard. As for the seven-fold fold, no, our ships are all meticulously crafted. Our craftsmen are all generations of boatmen, and the craftsmanship is all family inheritance plus Heigetang training, even if you give a discount, you can only give a 9% discount. ”

Chen Wenhui's eyes flashed with gold and said: "Nine folds are too much, otherwise, we will take a step back." Twenty percent off, right? ”

Zhou Maocai was very embarrassed and said: "It's really not good, so let's give you eighty-fifty off, right?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I will explain chemistry to you." In this way, eighty-five percent is eighty-five discount, but I have two conditions. ”

Chen Wenjun thought to himself, the drama is coming.

Zhou Maocai asked: "How can there be conditions?" What are the conditions? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "The first condition is that I will drive the boat away first. Because we didn't bring a lot of money out this time, naturally we won't have any silver for you, but we not only have silver in Xinguang City, but also many things, such as mirrors and perfumes. Fine wine, silk, porcelain, glassware, jade. Tea, medicinal herbs, etc., if you don't want to ask for silver, we can give these things. Therefore, you give us the ship first, and we will drive to Shin Kong City, and I will give you the silver and goods. You can send someone to follow, and when the time comes, we will have to pull things to this Feixia City to your Nanyang stronghold, so when we come back, we will give you money and goods to bring them to Feixia Port, and we don't need your freight, okay? Of course, you have to put sailors and the like on each of my ships for my brother and me. We pay this salary, if they want to be sailors in our Chen family in Xinguang City for a long time in the future, it is okay, we can hire them directly. ”

Zhou Maocai said: "There is no problem with this, after all, no one can go out with a lot of silver." We have confessed you as Lord, so how can we fear that you will be repaid? Also, your silver is not very rare to us, but your wine, utensils, tea, and medicinal herbs are very much needed by our Heigetang. Let's all fold it into things. As for sailors and the like, there is no problem, we have a lot of sailors in Feixia City, and we don't have so much work for them to do, so we will choose some for you and save us to raise them. ”

Chen Wenhui and Chen Wenjun were very happy, but Chen Wenhui still had to hold back her excitement, because the following is the point: "There is no problem with the first condition, I will say the second one." Our ship arrived in Xinguang City, and it can be maintained and repaired in the future, all of which require skilled workers, but we don't have this in Xinguang City, can you give me some more craftsmen, and I can also get a dock in Xinguang City to repair our Chen family's ships. Of course, I pay the wages, and I can also build houses for these workers in Xinguang City, and I don't need them to spend money. ”

Chen Wenjun couldn't help but get nervous, but Zhou Maocai didn't think about it and said: "Although these workers are under the jurisdiction of our Heigetang, they are not disciples, so you can take some away, of course, they have to be voluntary." We have a lot of them here anyway. ”

Chen Wenhui's heart suddenly bloomed, and she thought to herself, don't worry, I will definitely give them generous conditions so that they are willing to follow me.

Chen Wenhui immediately said: "Then let's sign a contract and make a deal." We have to order five ships, and we have to pay a deposit for ten boats, and all five boats must be equipped with sailors, and I will choose the workers myself. ”

Zhou Maocai said that there was no problem, so he said that they would sign when they arrived in the lobby of Heigetang.

In this way, Chen Wenhui and Zhou Maocai reached a deal, bought five ready-made big ships of the Hei family, hired a group of sailors, and recruited many skilled boatmen with the help of the children of the Hei family.

Chen Wenjun used a large sum of money to recruit sailors and shipwrights, and also bought a lot of special products from Nanyang that had just been shipped from the Black Family, and also found porters to move the goods to the new ship. When it was ready, Chen Wenhui also finished explaining chemistry to Zhou Mao. Of course, it was not for one day, but for four days. When they were ready, the Chen Wenhui brothers and sisters left Feixia Port on a boat, and on the port, Zhou Maocai, who saw them off, waved his hand reluctantly, thinking to himself, this little girl of the Chen family is their new master, and she is indeed as merciful as Emperor Guanglie. Thinking of this, I took out the IOU in my arms and looked at it, and I was very satisfied. This has been kept in the treasury for many years, and it has become black silver, and now it has been lent out, and it can be exchanged for more ore, tea, porcelain, and wine in the future, these are good things, what is the use of money, cold, can you enjoy it? It's still enjoyable to drink fine wine, and good tea is comfortable.

Thinking of this, Zhou Mao remembered again, an outstanding son of Heigetang, Aaron. Aaron is an indigenous person, who has been gifted since he was a child, and was selected as a child of the black family, broke away from the tribe, and arrived in this Feixia Harbor. Now he followed Chen Wenhui to Xinguang City, waiting to exchange the money owed by the Chen family for the Chen family's goods and transport them back to Feixia Port. This is a good errand, this can get close to Chen Wenhui. At this point, Zhou Maocai carefully explained to Aaron. This Alun is Zhou Maocai's personal disciple, this sea voyage for such a long time, he will definitely be able to get a lot of teachings from Chen Wenhui, and when he comes back, Alun's knowledge will definitely be much higher than his senior brothers. Thinking of this, Zhou Maocai's heart was overjoyed.

Chen Wenhui and Chen Wenjun stood on the deck, watching Zhou Maocai on the port get farther and farther away and finally turn into a small black dot, and their hearts were also overjoyed. Chen Wenhui looked around and saw that there was no one around, and Aaron went to the cabin to arrange for the captains and sailors. Chen Wenhui smiled very imagelessly and said: "Big brother, did we make a lot of money this time?" ”

Chen Wenjun also smiled happily and said, "This is also the reason why the people of Heigetang don't like silver." They took the initiative to ask for our goods, so that we didn't spend money, borrowed money to buy ships, bought goods, and when we arrived in Xinguang City, these borrowed money became our goods, we were equivalent to paying back half of the money, and then we sold the goods we purchased in Feixia Port, we didn't even have to pay the remaining half of the money, and we could still make money, after all, sea trade is the most profitable. This is equivalent to selling overseas goods twice. ”

Chen Wenhui laughed and said, "What's more, we have earned so many talents, which can't be bought by a thousand dollars." This is not the common property of the four of us, this is the exclusive property of our Chen family, and we will buy a piece of land near the sea and build a shipyard when we return to Xinguang City. In this way, our family has another money-making business, a shipyard. How good, in the future, the emperor will buy a boat, maybe he will also look for us. ”

Chen Wenjun was also very happy to think about that scene and said: "If it is in the Central Plains, our shipyard may be taken away by the emperor at any time, because the imperial power is the greatest, but this is Yizhou Island." Not under the jurisdiction of the imperial power. How wonderful. This is the cornerstone of our future development. ”

Chen Wenhui put away her smile and said: "We have the nautical chart in our hand, this is our family's own thing, and now we have our own shipyard, and in the future, we will have hundreds of ships just around the corner." Maybe our family will become the overlord of the seas. When the time comes, you won't be afraid of clan land, imperial power, overseas is so big, who cares? ”
