The chaotic situation in Xiangyang City naturally did not affect Ye Chen, but he quickly fermented in the city, and Ye Chen's reputation became even louder in this Jingzhou, but most of them were bad reputations, and of course there were good reputations.

However, this was not important to Ye Chen at all.

Cai Mao has undergone a very big change compared to history, in history he also wanted to control Jingzhou, but in the end he did not succeed, making Jingzhou fall apart and be taken advantage of, but now it is different.

The difference is that he not only controls Jingzhou's naval army, which is about to control the entire Yangtze River basin, but also has the possibility of obtaining a lot of wealth, and he can do more things at that time.

His inspiration for controlling the Yangtze River basin came from Ye Chen's control of the Yellow River, two major rivers in the south and one in the north, which had a significant impact on the population and economy of the entire surrounding area.

All night, Cai Mao was very excited.

Early the next morning, Ye Chen still got up early, while Cai Mao didn't get up until almost noon this morning because she slept too late last night.

"Haha, see the smile, I drank a few more drinks last night, and I neglected the Ye family master." After Cai Mao got up, she saw that it was already dawn, and hurriedly came over to confess.

"It's okay, the reception above Cai's mansion is very good." Ye Chen had already had breakfast, and at this time he was sitting on the gazebo drinking tea and thinking about things.

This trip to Xiangyang had a major gain, and he didn't expect to be able to do such a big deal with this Cai Mao.

Cai Mao breathed a sigh of relief, it was his rude today, but fortunately Ye Chen didn't care.

He had just done such a big deal with Ye Chen, and he still had to wait carefully, for fear that Ye Chen would regret it when the time came.

"Come, Master Ye, let's go inside and continue talking." Cai Mao invited Ye Chen into the study.

"Okay, Master Cai, please."

The two entered Cai Mao's study and discussed behind closed doors.

The two first detailed the things that they didn't finish talking about yesterday.

Then Ye Chen said: "Master Cai, although the Cai family's naval army is strong, many of them are warships, it is not easy to control the entire Yangtze River Basin, and a large amount of transportation capacity is required, and if this part of the transportation capacity cannot be replenished as soon as possible, then it will not be able to truly monopolize the shipping of the Yangtze River." ”

Cai Mao hesitated for a moment, and then said, "What is the solution for the Ye family master?" ”

Ye Chen smiled in his heart and said secretly: "It still fell into my fist." ”

Ye Chen's face turned straight, and then he said: "Master Cai, our Ye family's withdrawal from shipping in the Yangtze River basin will inevitably vacate a batch of ships, and we can sell them to the Cai family at the depreciated price, so that the Cai family can fill the shipping gap in the Yangtze River basin." Ye Chen said.

Cai Mao thought about it, it was true, the Ye family withdrew from the Yangtze River, and there were a lot of idle ships, so he took the opportunity to eat these ships to just supplement the lack of their Cai family's ships.

When Ye Chen said this, Cai Mao was a lot more relieved, which showed that the Ye family really wanted to withdraw from the Yangtze River, so Cai Mao agreed very simply.

In the end, an agreement was reached, and the Cai family purchased more than 50 large ships of the Ye family, and these large ships had different prices according to different service years.

"I just helped the Ye family change to a new ship, this Cai Mao is still a good person." Ye Chen smiled secretly in his heart, in fact, the Ye family had already built a larger ship, with a tonnage of two thousand tons, which could sail to sea, so these old ships would definitely have to be replaced one after another.

The Yangtze River basin has never been the focus of the Ye family, and it is nothing to let it out, it is not that Ye Chen does not value the Yangtze River basin, but he attaches great importance to it, but it is really beyond the reach of the whip, and the Ye family's fleet does not often enter the Yangtze River, at least there are not many ships in the Yangtze River.

The loss of shipping in the Yangtze River basin was not a very heavy blow to the Ye family, so Ye Chen compromised so easily.

"Master Cai, my Ye family's shipbuilding industry still has a certain level, although it is impossible to build warships, but the merchant ships are very powerful, if the Cai family still needs it, you can place an order for our Ye family, and our Ye family will help build it." Ye Chen continued.

Cai Mao didn't speak, their shipbuilding industry in Jingzhou is naturally not bad, but they really haven't built too many ships, there was no demand before, and there is also not enough money to support them, so the scale of the ships has not been large.

"Master Ye, this matter still needs to be carefully considered, if there is a need, I must find the Ye family to build a ship." Cai Mao didn't dare to make a decision easily, this shipbuilding was too labor-intensive, material-intensive and financial, but the Cai family couldn't form much of a scale by relying on them, which also needed Liu Biao's support.

However, Liu Biao already felt that Cai Mao's tail was too big to fall, so he would not support him to expand the ship on a large scale.

"Okay, there is a quote from my Ye family, you can refer to it, and if you need to contact our Ye family directly." After speaking, Ye Chen handed over an offer for the Ye family's shipbuilding to Cai Mao.

In fact, the Ye family can already build a warship, and the performance of the warship is very good, but Ye Chen has been hiding them at sea and training at sea, and he has not revealed it to the world.

Ye Chen handed over the shipbuilding price list to Cai Mao, and then went out.

"I've read my price list, and I don't believe you're not fooled." Ye Chen walked out of the door of the study and thought to himself in his heart.

This price list was drafted by him overnight, in order to trap Cai Mao and make him subject to him in the future.

So what's wrong with this price list? The only problem is that the price is extremely low.

"Hey, this." Cai Mao looked at it, and was really surprised, and then said, "How can the price be so cheap?" ”

These prices are a full thirty percent cheaper than their shipbuilding prices.

Why is cheap a trap?

This is the theory that it is better to build than to buy, when Cai Mao found that he could save a lot of money and time by making it for the Ye family, then he was too lazy to build it himself, and he needed to build a big mess by himself, especially the early investment should be large and the time should be long.

When the Cai family gradually relied on the Ye family, the Ye family could take advantage of the situation to vigorously develop the shipbuilding industry, Ye Chen now had a large amount of money in his hands, and when the time came to develop the Ye family's shipbuilding industry, he could start to build ships to go to the open sea.

There are several factors that make the price that Ye Chen gave so low.

First of all, the scale of Ye Chen's shipyard is large, and the price of scale naturally declines.

Second, the workers of the Ye family are very skilled and efficient, and relatively speaking, the price can naturally decrease; Other people's shipyards, because the investment is too large and they need a lot of workers, they only temporarily recruit some craftsmen when they need to build ships, so that the workers need time to get acquainted, and the efficiency is naturally slow.

Third, the Ye family's technology is relatively good, and after years of shipbuilding, many technologies have been improved.

In general, it is not how much cheaper the Ye family is, but that the cost of others is too high, although Jingzhou has a developed shipbuilding industry, there is no large-scale shipyard, they are all small shipyards, and the treatment of craftsmen is not good, many people live as farmers, and only help build ships when necessary.

It's just that Ye Chen's trap is too sweet, and many people can't understand it, and even in later generations, there is a voice that it is better to buy than to buy for a while.
