Li Yiyi and his party left in the afternoon of the next day.

The sail renovation on the Shengjing Zero attracted a steady stream of visitors and also brought a large number of orders to the Beijia Wood Yard.

But he still had to leave as soon as possible, because there were people waiting in Hangzhou, which was a big gathering in the largest shipyards at that time, such as Mingzhou, Yangzhou, Fuzhou, and Quanzhou.

Including the Guangzhou shipyard, they all rushed to Hangzhou a month ago, and originally planned to rush to Ezhou together, but unexpectedly learned that Li Zhi and the ship had returned, so Feige sent a letter and asked him to arrive as soon as possible.

Of course, Li Zhi will not take these shipbuilding predators lightly, although he has such and such new product designs, but the most advanced shipbuilding technology in the whole of Asia and even the world at that time can be mastered in these shipyards.

At that time, although Datang could not be said to have dominated the sea and monopolized maritime trade, it was an indisputable fact that shipbuilding technology was ahead of other countries.

The fame is due to a naval battle with the Liuli Island country a few years ago, and the Datang Navy won a series of naval battles.

At that time, the Datang ships were made of rosin, and the number of iron nails used was far more than that of the Liuli Island country, and when the ships of the two sides collided in a naval battle, the other ship's ship fell apart at once.

The Datang ships are not easy to disperse because they are strong, so they have a great advantage in naval warfare, which directly leads to becoming a maritime hegemon in Asia.

Therefore, in the following years, Liuli Island and several other small countries have ordered a large number of ships in Datang with a thick skin, which has also made the relevant processes accumulate experience and continuous improvement due to huge orders, forming today's good situation.

Li Zhi's new ship type also needs this kind of technology, so this gathering of shipbuilding predators is the best time to start large-scale cooperation.

Although they all belong to government-run shipyards, and the construction of ships sent by the Ministry of Industry does not need Li Zhi's own negotiations, Zhengqing Wenqitang will have a great demand for ships in the future, and it is far from enough to rely on only three shipyards in Ezhou.

Moreover, his sail-style windmill will be copied by them sooner or later, and when he can control the right to speak, he will save a lot of money by talking about future cooperation, and he can also get a good reputation for not being conservative about advanced technology.

At present, the Maritime Silk Road is in the early stage of greater development, and silk has always been a major export item of Datang, and it is also an important income of the country, so Datang's shipbuilding industry is bound to enter a period of rapid development.

At this time, if he didn't establish a good communication channel with those people, the delay in the construction period alone would be unpredictable, and he didn't want to rely on his cultivation ability to forcibly interfere in this matter without special circumstances.

The straight-line distance between the two places of more than 2,000 miles on the sea surface took only three days and three nights at the unique speed of the Shengjing Zero.

Arriving at Hangzhou Port early in the morning, there were people sent by Li Tong, the envoy of Jiangnan Province, waiting, and his people led them into the special wharf of the Qiantang River, and the road was even more unimpeded.

At the Shengjing Shipping Wharf, I saw the waiting crowd from a distance, and before Li Zhi and the others got off the boat, they had already climbed up the gangway.

Many of the people who came knew King Ming, and while some of the leaders were talking to him, the professionals of their respective shipyards had already rushed to the sails to observe.

Among them, the people from Guangzhou have already seen them, and those people who are responsible for the specific introduction, and Li Zhi's crew members are still in their respective posts.

Taking advantage of an opportunity, Zhang Baoshan, the assassin of Hangzhou, came up, this person is a distant relative of Guan Lugong, and the Shengjing Shipping Terminal was built under his attention.

He came to report that the shipping business that had been started using the Grand Canal had not yet been officially launched because of the custom-made boats.

This business has his 10% shares, and he heard that he can temporarily borrow Shengjing Zero to carry out a trial operation, but he is very happy.

"Mr. Li, please rest assured, the wharf here is partially leased to other shipping fleets, and the shippers do not need us to say hello again, as long as the information of receiving the goods is transmitted, there will be business to come to the door by themselves! If it goes well, it may be full in two days! Zhang Baoshan was very excited.

Li Zhi is also very satisfied, which means that this person has always been very concerned about this business, and he obviously thought about the trick of renting out the wharf.

"Our customized ship in Ezhou City should also be in a hurry, right?"

Of the three shipyards in Ezhou, two have been building ocean-going cargo ships for Zhengqing Wenqitang, and the other has become the first shipyard for inland cargo ships that are more than half small.

"In less than a month, it will be able to appear here, and the Hangzhou shipyard will also start construction a month ago, and it will be an order of three, and before the beginning of summer, it will be able to form a preliminary scale!"

Li Zhi nodded, "Do the people from these shipyards know that the transportation of the Bohai Bay after the opening of the waterway also belongs to the exclusive operation of our Shengjing Shipping?" ”

Zhang Baoshan said with a smile: "These people are all shrewd, they have already had internal information through the Ministry of Industry, and they asked me about it, not the kind of side inquiry, but directly related to the specific data and quantity of the required ships!" ”

"How did you answer?"

"What else? As soon as I pushed it, everything will wait for Mr. Li to return from the Western Regions! These people are actually calculating this, why did Mr. Li get the news here just after he arrived in Guangzhou? It is their giving of the eyeliner, including this big rally, which can also be said to be held for you, sir! ”

Li Zhi laughed, "But why are Fuzhou and Quanzhou involved?" They have already received my order, and there is no shortage of things to do in the shipyard, so they are not looking for competitors for themselves? ”

"Mr. Li doesn't know that Mingzhou and Yangzhou are currently the largest government-run ship yards, and they have found the imperial court through their relationships, and they will put pressure on the shipyards in Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Ezhou, and they will uniformly allocate quotas in the next batch of orders! Is there a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not? ”

"Brother Baoshan, it's okay for you to say!"

"I think this is a good thing, one is that because Zhengqing Wenqitang and Shengjing Shipping are in great demand, having them participate in five events in two places, which will save the construction period by at least two years; In addition, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Water also intend to integrate the exchange and cooperation between the government-run shipyards through this move, instead of the previous state of each holding its own technological advantages; Third, they undertook the order in a group and announced that they had given clear instructions that they must ensure that the original customized price was slightly reduced, so that Mr. Li could not suffer financially! ”

"It's not because I concealed my private behavior, and I made a paid amend, right?"

"I thought the same thing before, but the words of the third brother Ying woke me up, maybe this is a good opportunity for the city envoy and the Ministry of Water to unite and sort out the inland river transportation! Any waterway transportation is inseparable from the shipyards, if the two parties can govern strongly, the role of the shipyards in it is obvious! Through effective governance, not only can the water transportation lines of Shengjing shipping be unimpeded in the future, but also eliminate malicious competition on prices between each other on this basis, which is also a major stake! ”

The third brother Ying is Li Tong, the envoy of Jiangnan Province, Li Yingsan, a member of the royal family surnamed Li, who belongs to the first line of Jiancheng Wang.

"Brother Baoshan, what can't you talk about, you were afraid that I would be affected because of the original shipbuilding plan? Don't worry, the three shipyards have no personal relationship with me, and I also intend to involve more shipyards, at least the amount of customization will be saved. ”

Li Zhi's words obviously relieved Zhang Baoshan, but Li Zhi immediately said: "You first came forward to persuade me, and you also responded to the request of the shipyard, right?" ”

"I still have a sentence, I don't know ......"

"It's almost done, if you have something to say, where do you come from, be careful!"

Zhang Baoshan said in his heart, of course I have to be careful, this is a little offensive, "It is Mr. Li's name, but anyone who has a little relationship knows it very well, but he also has a bad reputation, saying that Mr. Li is moody, and he wants to eradicate the grass at every turn!" ”

Li Zhi's face really changed, although he didn't feel strange about this influence, but when he was said to his face, he still couldn't wipe his face.

But after thinking about it, he was quickly relieved, so he smiled and said, "People are terrible! I, a person who pays attention to integrity, would have someone preach like this! ”

Zhang Baoshan pursed his lips, and he didn't say what he wanted to say.

Li Zhi was even more happy, "Knowing that I have this reputation, Mingzhou and Yangzhou Shipyards still have this guts, obviously your words are not enough to believe, at least they don't think it's so terrifying!" ”

Seeing that he didn't have an obvious sense of anger, Zhang Baoshan spoke a little more casually, "Anyway, as far as I am concerned, I would rather believe it than avoid provoking unwarranted disasters!" ”

Hearing the three-point joke in this person's tone, Li Zhicai continued the topic: "I also agree with the three benefits you said, but just such a statement, without any actual benefits, why should I obey my words?" Zhengqing Wenqitang is my personal business, how can I have the leisure to manage so much! ”

Knowing that Li Zhi was starting to bargain, Zhang Baoshan smiled and said: "I think I should not get involved, besides, we are currently in a front, let's call them over!" ”

Li Zhi waved his hand to stop him, "Don't worry, don't mention my opinion, I'll wait for them to come forward by themselves!" ”

Li Zhi has his plans, although he recognizes the three advantages, but the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Water do not come forward directly, it is obvious that the relevant shipyards have left a way back for themselves, once the transaction cannot be completed, someone will naturally invite those people to come forward.

Although this is also an inherent routine in the business field, at present, it is only his advanced windmill technology, and there are so many orders in demand, which should be in a favorable position for cooperation.

These people want to explore the way in advance through Zhang Baoshan, waiting for themselves to propose in exchange for conditions, which is not sincere in itself, which is not disliked by him.

Moreover, he contributed so many advanced ship designs and detailed and inexpensive renovation suggestions to the Datang military, but he did not get the active help of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Water in ship customization, which also made him resentful.

Although it is because they have been overseas and can't see each other, these people can send people to pay attention to their whereabouts in advance, why do the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Water sit firmly like a mountain, but they want to convey their inner intentions through the mouths of others?

Therefore, after being asked by Zhang Baoshan to come to explore the way, Li Zhi, who originally took the initiative to reappear, left him behind and returned to the cabin alone.

When those people were busy discussing ideas, Li Zhiyin, together with King Ming and the people around him, actually got off the boat collectively without greeting them.

Li Tong followed back to land, and Li Zhi had already instructed him to prepare an official ship to send them to Ezhou City, but he did not intend to stay here.

Everyone was a little flustered at this time, the person was invited by their flying pigeon to pass the book, and when they met, they did not come forward, but asked others to come forward to negotiate, which obviously angered the loyal king.

After Zhang Baoshan couldn't get the exact reason in his mouth, those people were flustered, not to mention the impact on business, but they were just worried about this person because of dissatisfaction, which was a major change that could not be ignored.

So they couldn't hold their breath anymore, obviously Li Zhi's way of doing things that was different from traditional business exchanges suddenly made them realize that they were probably in trouble, and the initial idea of wanting to bargain on them was biased from the beginning!
