Zhang San decided to ask first, maybe people don't mind? Zhang San came out of the house, and when he arrived at the shipyard, the people in the factory looked at him curiously, and they all heard that the owner was coming, but there were really not many people who had seen the owner.

After looking around, I found Wu Decai and Gongsun Sheng at the blacksmith, the two were discussing the expansion of the blacksmith shop, and when they saw Zhang San coming, Wu Decai asked: "Third brother, Gongsun Daochang said that we will definitely use a lot of blacksmiths in the future, and now we just take advantage of the lack of blacksmiths to recruit more, but our shipyard can't use so many blacksmiths now." ”

Zhang San nodded with Gongsun Sheng and said: "In addition to this shipyard, your third brother also plans to build a new shipyard, and the personnel will be transferred from this shipyard, so you just need to press twice the move." ”

Wu Decai muttered: "But third brother, now there are one or two thousand shipwrights in the shipyard, and if you recruit again, the monthly salary will be 10,000 yuan, not to mention the money for some material procurement, the ships we are building now are all used by ourselves, so I am afraid that there will be no entry and exit, I am afraid of ......." ”

Zhang San smiled and waved his hand: "What you said is also right, but we must have our own ships after all, and we will also use our own ships for trade in the future. ”

Wu Decai listened and asked: "Third brother, I heard that the business at sea is not easy to do, can we do it well?" ”

Zhang San patted him on the shoulder and said, "Isn't the third brother looking for so many powerful brothers just to do big business, don't worry, the third brother has a spectrum in his heart." What about the shipyard? ”

Wu Decai hurriedly said: "The Guan family has taken away more than a dozen masters, if it weren't for Lehe to stop it, what would be the problem with our ships?" ”

Zhang San felt that Wu Decai's expression skills were too poor, and he couldn't understand what he was saying, so he had to ask patiently: "Tell me in detail!" ”

Wu Decai said with a smile: "When Wu Zheng came back, he went through the handover procedures, and some of the masters of the Guan family were unwilling to follow us, and wanted to follow the old club, I thought that dozens of shipwrights had nothing, so I agreed."

Later, Lehe knew and stopped me, it turned out that the ship could not be changed to a master halfway through, and the new people could not figure out the situation not only the speed of construction was slow, but also the boat built was more prone to problems, I asked Master Chen and Master Mo, and it was really this truth, so I agreed to wait for the ship to be built and release people, and the Guan family wanted these shipwrights to have no place to place, so I agreed. ”

Zhang San asked strangely: "What does the Guan family want a shipwright?" Is he going to open a shipyard? ”

Wu Decai said: "No, I heard that Guan Zheng has recently found a small shipyard for sale, and is negotiating the price, he is engaged in maritime trade, shipbuilding and ship repair are essential, even if you don't build ships and repair ships, you must have your own dock to be convenient." ”

Zhang San nodded understandingly, these ancient ships are all wooden, and the bottom of the ship is easy to attach to marine organisms, and there are sea maggots and other corroded ship floors, which not only affect the safety of the ship, but also affect the speed. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly overhaul and replace the ship's board and refresh the paint.

Zhang San didn't have a deep impression of Boss Guan, but from the few things he did, it can be seen that he is an ambitious person, first falling out with the Zhang family and doing business alone, and then falling out with the Guan family. These two events prove that he does not want to be manipulated.

From the fact that he expanded the Guanjia shipyard to such a large size, it can be seen that his ambition, two thousand stone docks, four thousand stone docks, this is already the most first-class shipyard configuration in Hangzhou, according to Zhang San's investigation, there are less than five shipyards of this scale in Hangzhou.

The first is Zhangjia Shipyard, the second is the government-run shipyard, and the third is the shipyard funded by the Jiangnan Maritime Association, and one is Caojia Shipyard. With the addition of the Guanjia shipyard, only these five have Wanshi docks.

Zhang San asked Lao Mo, and Wu Decai pointed to the direction of the dock: "Lao Mo has been studying the big ship at the Wanshi dock for the past few days. ”

Zhang San walked over and found Lao Mo in the bottom compartment of the ship under the guidance of the shipwright. Lao Mo was checking the keel in the bottom warehouse, and saw Zhang San and the two of them coming out with lanterns, Zhang San stood on the side of the boat and looked at the busy workers, and there were other boats in the distance, and he was full of emotion.

These boats are all made of sand boats, enlarged according to the overall ship sample, this Wanshi ship is nearly 100 meters long, nearly 30 meters wide, and the height of the ship's side is more than 10 meters, which looks really spectacular.

Guan Zheng wanted to treat this ship as his own ship, so the materials and craftsmanship were very careful, the hull had been built before the shutdown, the watertight compartments were also set up, and now all to do is to build the cabin, erect the mast and so on.

Lao Mo was still thinking about the ship, and Zhang San suddenly asked, "Lao Mo, what is your ideal?" ”

Lao Mo probably didn't hear clearly, looked at Zhang San strangely and asked, "What?" ”

Zhang San smiled and asked, "I want to ask, what is your dream?" ”

Lao Mo looked at Zhang San, then looked at the boat under his feet, fell into a sinking Mo, thought for a while, Lao Mo raised his head and said: "Owner, I want to build the strongest ship, the best ship, and build a ship of my own design." ”

Zhang San's eyes lit up when he heard this, and asked, "Is the boat you designed yourself like a ship?" ”

Lao Mo shook his head and said, "No, I'm still groping, and I don't know if I'm right." ”

Zhang San suddenly said: "Lao Mo, I want you to change a shipyard and build a new ship, the conditions over there are more difficult, but I promise, if you finish the ship I said over there, I will give you the opportunity to let you build a ship of your own design, how about it?" ”

Lao Mo's eyes lit up and said, "Really? ”

No wonder Lao Mo is excited, this shipbuilding is not child's play, the new ship means unknown dangers, the shipyard is not willing to joke with its own shipyard, and the owner will not use his own ship for you to experiment with, so if you want to build a new ship, you not only need to have ideas, but also have a bold owner and money.

Zhang San nodded and said: "The new shipyard is on an island, and you need to start all over there, are you willing to do it." ”

Lao Mo lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Boss, I can ask if you are talking about the ...... of the East." ”

Zhang San smiled bitterly, this ancient man is really not stupid, from Zhang San's words, Lao Mo guessed that the shipyard Zhang San said was a pirate's shipyard, Zhang San looked at Lao Mo and said: "If you don't want to go, I won't force it." ”

Lao Mo looked at Zhang San and gritted his teeth and said, "Can I ask you, owner, why do you want to build a ship for pirates?" ”

Zhang San sighed and said: "If I don't care about them, they will eventually become pirates, I just want to restrain them, not to kill innocents, not to bully the weak, so that they will do less hurtful things, and when I do maritime business in the future, I will have an extra layer of protection with them." ”

Lao Mo fell silent again when he heard this, and after about half an hour, Lao Mo spoke: "Boss, I know that you are a good person, and you have also saved the lives of our family, I believe what you said, I am willing to build a boat for you, but if one day I see them driving the boat I built and doing things that hurt the heavens and reason, I will not build a boat even if I die." ”

Zhang San patted Lao Mo's shoulder and said, "Don't worry! ”
