Chapter 677: Eight Thousand Ships
At this time, Zheng Derong felt very embarrassed, this kind of thing of first goods and later payment is very risky for the seller, and it is difficult to open up if there is no friendship.
Zheng Derong knew that his request was a little embarrassing, and he was very embarrassed, but he really had something unspeakable.
Li De was a little stunned, knowing that it was impossible for the other party to make such a request for no reason, seeing that the other party's expression was a little embarrassed, and asked directly: "We all abide by the rules when doing business in Youzhou, I'm afraid your request won't work, if there is really a difficulty, you might as well say it, maybe there is a solution." ”
Youzhou City has always collected money first when doing business, just to avoid trouble, and who knows if it will happen.
He knew that if the other party really wanted to delay the payment, there was really no way.
At that time, not only will it take manpower and material resources, but also the time to collect money and other troubles, in order to avoid these things, it has always been paid first, just like when it was in Penglai, even if His Majesty needed to pay for the food today, he would give as much money as he wanted.
Zheng Derong had no confidence, and explained embarrassedly: "Dadu Governor, here's the thing, not long ago, the imperial court requisitioned the Zheng family's merchant ships, ninety percent of the merchant ships were not sent back, the imperial court promised to lose money, but there has been no movement until now, the Zheng family's business is all shipping business, no ship is no business, can only rely on the dock to pay, money can not be turned over for a while, but please rest assured that this is temporary." ”
"There is currently a lack of a large number of merchant fishing vessels in the coastal areas, and there are already several businesses in the dockyard that will settle the final payment as soon as they are completed."
It is not difficult for Li De to understand after listening to the explanation, he is very optimistic about the prospects of the Zheng family's dock, he will not say that maybe the few merchant ships docked on the coast of Youzhou are the Zheng family requisitioned by the imperial court, and now they naturally belong to Youzhou.
Needless to say, these things are naturally paid for by the imperial court, and he also found a business opportunity through the affairs of the Zheng family.
There is a large demand for ships along the coast, and the Zheng family's dockyard must be able to generate revenue, and there is no such thing as delaying the delivery time when thinking of these cash on delivery.
In Youzhou, the rules are the rules, and he is the one who makes the rules and doesn't want to break them, so he looks at the person in front of him again, and thinks about things quickly in his head.
"Dadudu, with the gear device, the efficiency of the Zheng family dockyard will increase, and it is very easy to deliver money with the existing orders, but it takes the world, and doing business is all coming and going, if we can be accommodating, I believe that both of us are mutually beneficial."
Li De nodded, the other party can say such a thing is true, if it is a familiar person, you can really agree, but business is business.
"It's okay if you want us to delay the payment, I can't think of a way to hear about it?" Li Dedao.
Zheng Derong is a businessman, knowing that at this time, the other party may sit on the ground and raise the price, which will not affect him to listen to the conditions, if it is not too harsh, he can accept it, the current economic situation is like this, as long as they survive this period of time, their Zheng family will definitely not do business with Youzhou.
For interests are like this, it does not mean that mercenary is to do all kinds of business, but also to pay attention to right and wrong.
If the other party is too excessive, there is no need for their Zheng family to post it.
Even if you don't do this business, the Zheng family doesn't have much loss, why provoke these people in Youzhou, Zheng Derong made up his mind.
"Governor, please."
"Youzhou did not delay the payment, the agreement can be signed normally, the condition is to use the Zheng family dock as collateral, if the money cannot be repaid by the time, then the property will be collected, and the value of the goods will be calculated separately for the extension time, which is considered interest."
Li De directly prescribed the conditions, and some interest on the hand is equivalent to maximizing the benefits, and each takes what he needs, which is considered to be a solution.
Zheng Derong listened to the conditions, the interest was not high, and the price was not high, the total price was 15,000 yuan, and he promised to postpone it for three months.
It's not much of a burden, and this transaction can be done compared to the profits, which is really good in comparison.
The first cooperation, when both parties were unfamiliar, was more trustworthy than the Zheng family's Youzhou, and he knew that he had met a nobleman.
Three months is just enough time to launch two large ships, and the money can be made up when the money is received, and the construction efficiency will increase with the gear device, and the value of this part of the benefit cannot be estimated for the time being.
"Okay, thank you, Governor."
"Let's talk about business, needless to say, I hope the Zheng family's dockyard can be developed, we still have a lot of tools, and things will be transported tonight afternoon."
Li De directly asked the Pioneer Merchant Company to be responsible for transportation, mainly to ensure the safety of the products, and the caravan happened to go to the south to collect some goods, which were in stock back and forth, and the caravan could create a lot of value.
Zheng Derong was a little speechless, and finally said: "Governor, we came by boat, and the goods can go back directly with our ship." ”
"Originally, I was also going to take the sea, since you came by boat, it is easy to worry, you are short of ships now, I don't know if you can sell the clippers in Youzhou?"
Li De even asked, since the Zheng family has a dock, selling the ship is not equivalent to stealing business from others.
"Of course the boats can, now there is a shortage of fishing boats along the coast, so I don't know what the clippers in Youzhou look like?" Zheng Derong said curiously.
Li De directly took out a model of a clipper, and the hull could be seen intuitively, and then Li De roughly said the data of the clipper, this kind of boat is more than enough to be used as a fishing boat.
The speed is very fast, the size is relatively small, and it is larger than the current ordinary fishing boats, and there is nothing particularly outstanding about the extras.
At the beginning, it was mainly considered that large Zhuge ballistas should be used as warships, but in fact, ships of this specification were still too small.
After testing the practicality of the fast boat, the Youzhou workshop is ready to upgrade, and the small boat is directly treated as a fishing boat, and the lack of boats along the coast can just take advantage of the beautiful price to sell a batch.
"No problem, I don't know how many?" Zheng Derong asked.
"Youzhou is ready to sell 3,000 boats, and another 5,000 ordinary fishing boats." Li De said lightly.
Eight thousand ships, even if they are small boats, are a lot of money, and Zheng Derong has calculated how much he can get from them.
Reselling ships is much faster than making money, even if it makes less money.
"Eight thousand ships, so many of them, if they are shipped back, it will not be difficult to sell, but it will take some time, what is the price?"
Zheng Derong knew that he could get a lot of profits from selling ships, but business was not done like that, and obviously how much income there was was to be determined by the governor of Youzhou.
