Finally arrived in Hangzhou at noon on the third day, arrived in Hangzhou before getting off the ship Wu Decai and Huo Daoyuan came to greet them, and when they asked, they learned that the two had specially arranged for people to wait for them at the dock, Wu Decai, Zhou Feng and Lehe arrived in Hangzhou in advance as advance personnel, and arranged to inquire about the purchase of the shipyard mansion.

The things on the ship are naturally not suitable for unloading to the dart board, so Zhang San and the others first asked where there was a good shipyard, and Wu Decai immediately submitted the collected information, which marked several shipyards, and Zhang Sanyi saw one of them called Guanjia Shipyard, which aroused Zhang San's interest.

This shipyard is located at the confluence of the Cao'e and Qiantang rivers in the north of Shaoxing, and unlike the other shipyards that are about to be closed, the others are not doing well, and this one is really because of business mistakes. Moreover, the shipyard written above covers an area of 3,000 acres, with four docks of more than 5,000 stones, two docks of 10,000 stones, and 20 slipways of more than 1,000 stones, which is a large shipyard in Hangzhou and Ningbo.

Zhang San asked: "Tell me what the situation is in this Guanjia shipyard." ”

Wu Decai stepped forward to take a look, thought about it and said: "Third brother, this Guanjia shipyard is the shipyard of the Guanjia in Hangzhou, last August the Guanjia 12 ships went to sea to Quanzhou, and by the end of the year it has not been returned It is estimated that it is gone, the Guanjia has suffered a heavy blow, and plans to sell some of the fields and stores and so on to return the funds. This shipyard is on the list for sale. ”

Zhang San looked at the others, Zhou Feng said: "Third brother, I inquired, this Guan family originally went to sea with the Wu family in Huzhou and the Zhang family in Suzhou, and the Zhang family became the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture in August last year, and intended to let the two families share more sailing costs, and then they fell out, and the Guan family organized their own fleet, and this happened. ”

Zhang Sanyi felt that this thing sounded strange, and asked, "How much did the Guan family lose?" What's going on now? ”

Zhou Feng said: "This Guan family room except for a person named Guan Lin who entered Beijing to catch the exam and did not return to all of them, and now the second room of the Guan family has rejoined the three joint ventures, and sent 10,000 acres of paddy fields in Taihu Lake and more than ten shops in Suzhou to the Zhang family, and all the properties of the Huzhou shops have been handed over to the Wu family, and now the Guan family has almost become two vassals." There is a problem with this Guan Lao Di. ”

Zhang San nodded, this fool could see that there was something wrong with the second child of the Guan family, Zhang San then asked: "Then why is this Guan family shipyard sold?" Aren't you going to continue to operate sea freight? ”

Wu Decai and Zhou Feng have said a while, at this time Le He has not been silent, among the three Wu Decai is responsible for the news of Hangzhou's business, Zhou Feng is responsible for intelligence work, only Le and Zhang San arranged for him to collect some special information, Zhou Feng is responsible for the bottom intelligence, and there is still a certain difference with Lehe.

Everyone looked at Le He, and Le He said: "Third brother, I heard that Guan Lin of this Guan family came back at the end of the year, and the news from Quanzhou made Guan Lin directly angry and bedridden, and his second uncle united with some of the elders of the clan to divide the property, and only gave him the shipyard to pay off the debt.

After the Guan family decided to do business alone, there were only five ships, in order to expand the ships, several of them were rented, and half of the goods were purchased on credit, and Guan Lin's father invested 50,000 yuan to increase the dock and build new ships.

In the end, after Guan Lin's illness improved, Changfang had 80,000 debts left in addition to the shipyard that was not easy to sell, and these accounts should have been borne by everyone using the clan property, but the Guan family attributed all the debts to the mistake of the big house, so the other branches and clan properties of the Guan family had almost no losses, and some even took the opportunity to make a big profit.

Guan Lin has fallen out with the Guan family, and now he has broken with the Guan family and moved to live in the shipyard, I heard that he suspects that his second uncle betrayed his father, and is secretly investigating, but there has been no progress. ”

Zhang San asked strangely when he heard this: "Why is the shipyard not selling?" ”

Le He said: "The other shipyards are fine, but this Guanjia shipyard not only has a shipyard, but there are more than ten big ships under construction in the dock, and the docks of 5,000 stone and 10,000 stone are full. ”

Le He thought about it and said: "There are not many people who buy sea ships, the overseas situation is complicated, most of the merchant ships that go to sea are joint ventures, these sea merchants have their own shipyards, so few people are willing to take over, I heard that the Wu family intends to take over this shipyard and is willing to pay 80,000 yuan, Guan Lin does not sell it." ”

Zhang San nodded and said that Guan Lin also knew that Guan Lao Er had collusion with the Zhang family and the Wu family, but there was no evidence, Zhang San nodded and said: "Let's go directly to the Guan family shipyard to talk to Guan Lin." ”

Wu Decai came up and said: "Third brother, it's noon, it's dark when you get to the place, it's better to go again tomorrow morning, that place is not as safe as this Hangzhou." ”

Zhang San looked embarrassed, he really didn't think about this question and said: "Okay, everyone is playing in Hangzhou today, and we will leave tomorrow." ”

Everyone listened to the natural very happy, as the saying goes, there is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou, Suzhou everyone did not have time to play, Hangzhou of course did not want to miss, in the afternoon Zhang San let everyone go in a group of three or five people, he himself stayed on the boat.

When the people were gone, Wu Decai, Zhou Feng and Le and the three of them stayed alone, Zhang San asked Wu Decai first: "Decai, how are you inquiring?" ”

Wu Decai took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhang San and said: "Third brother, there are many workshops that produce sugar in the south, and the price of sugar is much lower than that of the owner, and the style has not changed. There is also the fact that sugar is cheaper on Quang Nam Road. ”

Zhang San nodded and said, "Well, that's good!" Anything else? ”

Wu Decai thought about it and said, "I have found a few places where I can open a semicolon ...... for Yixing Hutchison. ”

Zhang San smiled and said: "I will let Qian Jin be responsible for this, you don't have to worry about it, is the store you are looking for located?" ”

Wu Decai nodded: "I found a very good store on the street in Hangzhou's Qianshi Street, and there are many shops selling sugar around. And the yard behind the store is very large, and there is a small wharf in the back of the Qiantang River. The main price of the store is 3,000 kan. ”

Zhang San nodded and said, "Okay, is the money I gave you enough?" ”

Wu Decai said: "It's enough, we only used less than 300 taels of silver for the two thousand taels of silver given by the third brother, and the rest are stored in the Weiyuan Dart Bureau!" Why don't I get it? ”

Zhang San smiled and shook his head: "No, you can go and bring 3,500 yuan now, the first is to buy the store, and the second is to take care of the officials and guards who handle the handover." The first time someone asked, you said that it was from Yixing Hutchison in the capital, and he came to Hangzhou to collect sugar and transport it to the capital. ”

Wu Decai is a little unsure, these thousands of business, just by himself? Zhang San saw that he was a little undare, Zhang San patted him on the shoulder and said: "Go, send two guys from Weiyuan to follow, clean up after the inventory, start collecting sugar, spend the money in your hand first, and I will tell you how to do it next." ”
