"I have carefully understood the matter of the dock, and the project of the dock is in charge of the Zheng family here, and I heard that the Zheng family has contacted many merchant families for investment, and it is expected to build six docks."

"Six dockyards?"

Zhang Zhongjian was also shocked, if the news that the dock is not so easy to operate is true, then this investment must be a big project.

"The Zheng family's six docks, what if we join?" Zhang Zhongjian asked.

"The head of the Zhang family is to the point, according to the current needs of merchants and fishermen for boats, a few docks can not be satisfied, and I also heard that the newly built docks will all be carried out in accordance with the construction plan provided by Youzhou, and the new ship types will be built in the future, mainly medium and large ships."

Zhang Zhongjian immediately understood that if large ships are used as merchant ships, they need strong assets, and if Youzhou intervenes, I don't know whether they want to buy shares in the dock or rely on the dock to build ships.

Different approaches have completely different results, if Youzhou shares in the dock is to rely on shipbuilding to make profits, if you want to rely on the dock shipbuilding, it is very likely that Youzhou is the provider of ship orders.

"How much does the Xiao family master think to invest?" Zhang Zhongjian asked.

"Ten percent, with our financial resources, we can build five additional docks." Xiao Milling.

Zhang Zhongjian knew that the total amount of money they were earning now was very amazing, and Xiao Mo wanted to put all their wealth into it.

"You are so confident in this project in Youzhou?" Zhang Zhongjian's question.

"If you really invest in the dockyard project, how much does Zhang Jiazhu think is appropriate?" Xiao Mo asked rhetorically.

"Haha, naturally it's ten percent."

Zhang Zhongjian's answer was the same as Xiao Miao's thoughts, he didn't think that the richest man in the south did not know the current development of shipping.

You must know that after a few years of cooperation between Youzhou and the Zheng family, the commerce between the two places has been passed through the sea connection, and it is said that the benefits generated by the sea have made the Zheng family rise again, and how long has it taken to say.

So far, most of the ships they have used are medium-sized merchant ships, and the number has never kept up with the demand for capacity.

Every day the Zheng family's dockyard produces merchant ships, which only supply the Zheng family's needs, and there are many merchants who want to meddle and make money, and if there are no merchant ships, they can only do fishing boat business.

They had long looked at it, but there was no boat, so they really had no choice, and the culprit was also to blame the ships borrowed by Emperor Yang of Sui during the expedition, and in the end, all the chickens and eggs were beaten.

The losses of the merchants cannot be compensated, and only people are unlucky.

The Zheng family's losses at that time were huge, and the same big crisis encountered a big turning point, and it was really fate that favored them to find an opportunity in Youzhou to turn over so quickly.

Xiao Mo and Zhang Zhongjian were also very interested in shipping, and they couldn't get involved in the past because of money, and doing business was the same as going on an expedition, not that they could get a foot in it if they had money.

If you want to build a dock with the power and financial resources of the Zhang family before Youzhou has not risen, it is naturally possible.

However, after Youzhou intervened, it seemed that all the industries related to business had become less ordinary.

If they put aside Youzhou and the Zheng family, the leading shipping company, even after building a dock, they will not be able to produce new ships, and besides, they will not be able to apply new docks.

These technologies are all controlled by Youzhou, and even if they understand it, they can't build it by themselves, because the equipment involved in the dock is made by Youzhou.

Now there is an investment opportunity, and both of them are on the same page, and investing all their wealth in it will not affect the strength of their family. 7 Q

After all, the money for cooperation will not be all they have, and the industry they cooperate with will also provide them with money.

It's true that you don't even blink an eyelid when you take out all your money.

"In that case, it is better to implement the matter as soon as possible." Zhang Zhongjian said.

"I will go to the Zheng family in person in a few days, and if we invest ten percent, if we want to develop the fleet, we need to accumulate more wealth." Xiao Milling.

"Hahaha, isn't that the next step." Zhang Zhongjian said.

The Zheng family is now the main fleet of Youzhou shipping, and he is currently the only one who transports such long distances, and it seems that the scenery is actually the most difficult to endure in the period of lack of ships.

The old boats sold in Youzhou were originally used for close transportation, and most of the boats were used as fishing boats.

It can be said that the Zheng family was able to develop from the beginning by relying on fishing, and of course, Li De's help was very great.

So far, the Zheng family's fishing industry is still doing, especially the secondary processing of the caught fish into grilled fish fillets and other products, which is a very profitable industry that is mainly sold to Youzhou.

Li De is very optimistic about the seafood such as grilled fish fillet, not only that, but there are also many dry goods, and the seafood can be processed and made after being transported, which are very good ingredients.

Through fishing and processing, as well as the investment in the projects provided by Youzhou, a lot of wealth has been accumulated to build a boat.

For this dock project, Youzhou has determined the order, and the return after investment is very considerable.

Not to mention that Youzhou put forward the demand for orders, the Zheng family alone needs dozens of large merchant ships, and plans to build six docks, which is also considered to leave some money to prepare for shipbuilding and shipbuilding, otherwise all of them will be put into dock construction, and the number can be expanded to ten.

The Zheng family still has selfish intentions, and if they want to be a shipping leader, they need to ensure that there are enough merchant ships, and the dock projects proposed by Youzhou are all open investment models, which means that the monopoly of shipping will not be too long in the future.

Even so, with the foundation of the Zheng family, plus more merchant ships to occupy most of the shipping market, it is certain.

It doesn't matter how the Zheng family thinks about Youzhou, they put forward the dockyard project to start building warships and merchant ships that can go to sea.

With enough wealth in Youzhou, Li De's plans began to unfold one after another, investing in a wave of a few years to start the colonial era.

The Zheng family's plan is their own plan, and it is really impossible to determine how many docks will actually be built, and the latest news says that there are already businessmen who are rushing here to invest.

"The head of the family, there are guests from the outer hall, do you want to see the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Miao, who personally visited to invest in the dock?" The Zheng family housekeeper said.

"The Xiao family, is it the one who cooperated with the Zhang family?" Zheng Derong asked.

"Yes."

Zheng Derong knows a lot about the people and things related to Youzhou, and he knows about Xiao Mo and Zhang Zhongjian, but he has never intersected.

The fact that investors appeared so soon shows that they have more confidence in the project in Youzhou.

"You go and get you, and I'll be there."

Zheng Derong had to make some preparations, and brought the information from Youzhou to the application form printed by Youzhou, and each copy was sealed with fire paint.

When it was handed over to the other party, it was all started by them themselves, and now he is helping Youzhou to do things, and these processes must be strictly implemented.
