Ye Chen's letter surprised both Yuan Shu and Yang Hong.

Yang Hong hurriedly took the soldier's letter, and then handed it to Yuan Shu, looking at it with a blank eye, hoping to understand the content of the letter immediately.

Yuan Shu hurriedly took it apart.

"What! Ye Chen wants to sell us warships, even the newest and largest warships in Liaodong. Yuan Shu read the content of the letter and said in surprise.

The content of the letter was very simple, except that Ye Chen indicated that he wanted to sell the battleship to Yuan Shu, what was attached was the data and price of the ship.

Data on the size, load, width and length of the ship are readily available, all of them are available, and there is a corresponding price behind it.

"Ye Chen said that we want to sell as many warships as we want, and as many as we want, provided that we start at the price." Yuan Shu said to Yang Hong: "What do you think? ”

Yang Hong didn't dare to reply, and immediately asked Ye Chen's letter to read it.

"Lord, this Ye Chen really sells battleships? Nothing greasy? As a strategist, Yang Hong shouldn't have come over to ask Yuan Shu, but he was really puzzled about this matter.

"I believe that selling our warship will dare to do anything in order to make money, but there must be something greasy in this." Yuan Shu said.

But in the current situation, Yang Hong and Yuan Shu thought for a long time, and they were never sure what Ye Chen's conspiracy was, but Ye Chen was willing to sell warships, and there was a new type of big ship, which made them very excited.

"You take it and ask, see if the price given by Ye Chen is reasonable, they may want to do tricks on the battleship, and slaughter us once while we need a navy." Yuan Shu said.

Yang Hong also felt that there was such a possibility, so he took the letter and left.

A day later, Yang Hong asked a lot of craftsmen, and finally came to report.

"My lord, after carefully questioning the craftsmen, I have determined that there is indeed a problem with the price on this list." Yang Hong said.

"Hmph, I know that Ye Chen is greedy and has always wanted to suck blood from us." As soon as he heard this, Yuan Shu became angry and immediately scolded.

"The lord misunderstood, this is not the case, the price is not high, but a lot lower." Yang Hong saw that Yuan Shu had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained.

"Low? How so? Yuan Shu said with a look of disbelief.

"That's true, I asked a large number of craftsmen, if we start to build it ourselves, the price will be at least 30% more expensive, and the most important thing is that the two large warships inside, we can't build them at all, even if we want to build some smaller ones, it will take a long time, because our craftsmen don't have much experience in construction." Yang Hong explained.

"What kind of calculation is this Ye Chen? Will you think about it for us and sell us a battleship at a low price? ”

Yuan Shu couldn't figure it out, and Yang Hong couldn't figure it out either.

It's normal for them to not figure it out, and later generations of Huaxia were fooled by Lao Mei with this set of theories, and then they had to spend a lot of money to slowly catch up, and after chasing for more than ten years, the projects of large aircraft have not yet caught up, and some other fields have not yet caught up.

"No matter what, you have to try, you go to negotiate with Ye Chen, probe their bottom, if this matter is true, you will decisively buy a batch of big ships, but the big ships must be traded in batches, carefully checked, and see if there are any traps in them." Yuan Shu said.

Yang Hong nodded, indicating that he understood.

The next day, Yang Hong set off and brought some craftsmen with him.

A few days later, when he arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River, he met the Liaodong people on Ye Chen's big ship.

"General Ye, it's so Yaxing." Ye Chen drank tea while fishing.

"How many ships does Yuan Shu want to buy? Less is not enough. Ye Chen asked directly.

Yang Hong was stunned, he hadn't said he wanted to buy it, and Ye Chen ate it himself.

"General Ye, whether to buy the boat or not is still to be discussed." Yang Hong hurriedly reminded Ye Chen, lest Ye Chen take it seriously.

Ye Chen put away the fishing rod, then turned to Yang Hong and said, "You don't have to worry about anything, this boat is absolutely fine, you can let the craftsmen inspect it one by one, pay one by one, and the price is absolutely affordable." ”

Yang Hong groaned, he didn't expect Ye Chen to think about him and put forward such conditions.

"Aren't you afraid that after you sail the ship from Liaodong, we don't want it? Besides, we are the enemy, how can you sell the enemy warship? Yang Hong threw out two questions one after another.

"The first question, I'm not afraid that Yuan Shu will regret it, he doesn't want it, there are a lot of people who want it. In addition, if Yuan Shu dares to do this, I will naturally ask him for hard work. ”

"The second question, it's true that Yuan Shu and I are enemies, but the enemy's money is also money, I just mastered the entire Youzhou, I really lack money, and Yuan Shu doesn't want to threaten me if he gets the warship, if he dares to come to Youzhou, he doesn't know how to die."

After Ye Chen answered the two questions, Yang Hong was speechless for a long time, he didn't feel that Ye Chen was arrogant, in fact, what Ye Chen said was the truth.

It's just that Yang Hong still doesn't believe in Ye Chen's reason for selling the ship to Yuan Shu.

"Okay, then we'll ship and pay." Yang Hong felt that in this way, he could rest assured that they were in need of a big ship.

Then the two began to discuss the purchase quantity.

In the end, Yang Hong and Ye Chen finalized the first deal, Yangzhou wanted thirteen of the largest ships, and then dozens of other warships, as for some smaller auxiliary ships, Yang Hong planned to go back and build them himself.

After the negotiation, the two parties agreed to deal in one month.

The reason why it can be so fast is because Liaodong now has a large number of warships that need to be replaced.

Liaodong has developed larger warships, and these old ones naturally have to be disposed of.

However, the ships sold to Yuan Shu are still relatively new, and some have been in the water for less than a year.

Because Liaodong needs all kinds of ships, and the demand is very large, Ye Chen has to build a lot every time, develop new warships, and replace them, and directly convert them into merchant ships and fishing boats, so they don't need to save costs every time, and they build a large number of them.

"Okay, after dealing with the affairs of Yangzhou, it's time for us to go." Seeing Yang Hong away, Ye Chen said to a few people around him.

"Young master, you are still powerful, you said that this business can be done and can be done." Tiger Head said with a look of adoration.

The flotilla began to turn and leave the mouth of the Yangtze River.

At this time, Ye Chen had been going south for two months, and at this time, the ice and snow in Youzhou had not yet melted.

All the way to the southeast, Ye Chen appeared in Taiwan a few days later.

This treasure island has not been valued for thousands of years in the future, even in the late Qing Dynasty, and it was not taken seriously until Ye Chen traveled a few decades ago, but it had not returned to the embrace of the motherland at that time.

"I want to start with me, let future generations begin to pay attention to Taiwan, let it become a veritable treasure island, and see if those in power in the future will pay attention to it." After approaching Taiwan, Ye Chen thought in his heart.

Landing on the island of Taiwan, Ye Chen was full of emotion, now this island has not been developed, and the population is only more than 100,000.
