Kang Hui's heart immediately sank!

Is this a poor dagger?

He is the head of the Kang family, he still admired Su Baiyi very much before, and he wanted to do business with Su Baiyi!

However, it is absolutely impossible for the Kang family to cooperate with anyone in the shipbuilding business.

Even if he was afraid of Su Baiyi, he couldn't agree like this.

Others don't know, but Kang Hui, who is the head of the Kang family, is clear that the reason why the Kang family has been standing since the Hongwu period is mainly due to two major guarantees!

One is land!

The second is this shipbuilding.

In his opinion, the so-called cooperative shipbuilding business proposed by Su Baiyi is to ask for the life of his Kang family!

"Of course, you don't have to answer me right away, after all, it's a big deal!" Su Baiyi looked at Kang Hui very sincerely and said: "There are many benefits of cooperating with me, but the most important one, if you cooperate with me, your Kang family will make a lot more profits because of shipbuilding than now!" ”

"If I agree, the adults will talk to the Mu family as they did at the beginning, give me the Kang family's three sevens, our Kang family three, and your lord's seven?" Kang Hui is already a little unhappy!

But as a guest, a businessman who has been walking on the rivers and lakes for so many years, and the head of a big family, this patience and endurance are still there.

"Oh, blame me for not making it clear!" Su Baiyi smiled and said, "It's not a three-seven account!" ”

Is it a fifty-fifty split? Kang Hui was stunned for a moment, and then thought: That's not good, now my Kang family has a ready-made site, a port and wharf for shipbuilding, a group of skilled workers, and there are drawings handed down by Zheng He when he sailed.

Others thought that the drawings of Zheng He's treasure ship were gone, and all of them were burned by Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department!

But who knows that when Zheng He's treasure ship was being built, the ancestor of their Kang family participated in the whole process as a mechanic, and kept the drawings of the entire Zheng He ship.

It's just that their Kang family doesn't rebel and doesn't do maritime business, so they haven't built such a big ship.

My Kang family has everything, and you Su Baiyi want to squeeze my Kang family with one mouth, a few money-raisers, and the identity of a railway governor?

Dream!

Did you return my Heluokang family to the little Mu family in Defu?

Think we're bullies?

Do you think that shipbuilding is to play cotton, and as soon as you talk about white teeth, you can do it by recruiting a few more workers?

Hum!

Then you couldn't be more wrong.

"I'm going to explain the reason to Mr. Kang!" Su Baiyi said with a smile: "The reason why I asked you to cooperate is mainly because I fancy the technology of your workers, if I build a new shipyard, I won't be able to find so many technicians for a while." So, I only need your workers and some managers, and nothing else; Moreover, this shipyard is not the property of someone in Su Su, but the property of Yuyuan, and I am afraid that it will have to be related to the imperial court in the future, so it is unrealistic to divide the accounts of Sanqi, one nine, nine points in Yuyuan, and one of your Kang family! ”

When Kang Hui heard this, his face turned blue with anger!

This is clearly coming to annex our Kangjia shipyard.

One nine, one nine!

Is my Kang family the Mu family of Guide Mansion?

It's just a big deal!

"Oh......" Su Baiyi realized something, took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Kang, don't misunderstand, and don't be angry. After listening to my explanation, this one-nine-point is not as unbearable as you think, and the part of his profit for you must be much more than the money you have gained from the shipbuilding of the Kang family now. In recent years, His Majesty will open the sea ban, and when the maritime merchants increase, the ships built by our family will not have to worry about sales.

Let's put it this way, if the shipbuilding profit of your Kang family is only as big as a date now, then the profit of the shipyard after our cooperation will be as big as a watermelon. Think about it, which one out of ten watermelons compares to a date? ”

"Lord Su!" Kang Hui obviously lost his patience, and said with some displeasure: "Lord Su has a good intention, Kang Hui understands, but the matter is big, Kang needs to go back and discuss with the Kang family before he can reply to the adult!" ”

"Okay, it's okay!" Su Baiyi patted him on the shoulder: "You don't have any pressure, we do things in Yuyuan, we pay attention to your love and my wishes, if you don't agree, it doesn't matter, I will think of other ways!" ”

Seeing Kang Hui walk away with a blue face, Su Baiyi knew that he had really misunderstood himself.

I'm telling the truth! Su Baiyi smiled bitterly.

Shipbuilding is not like the textile industry, and the process is somewhat difficult.

It is obviously unrealistic to train a group of workers to build ships by yourself for a while, and the fastest way is to poach people from the Kang family, but there is a price to pay for poaching people!

That's why Su Baiyi gave 10% of the shares to the Kang family!

As long as the Kang family agrees, then start from the big ship of 2,000 miles of material, and add a steam engine as power to the traditional ship, forming a combination of traditional and mechanized products.

Then the managers of Yuyuan were introduced to slowly explore and strive to make the hull from steel and concrete within five years, and eliminate the wooden hull, so as to achieve higher durability requirements.

But looking at it now, it is unlikely that this Kang will cooperate!

If you can't poach people from Kanghui, you can only slowly find retail investors from all over the country, and then gather retail investors to study shipbuilding.

This is too much time, and even if a traditional big ship is built, it will probably be three or five years away.

Too slow!

It seems that when I go back, I still have to talk to this Kang family master and strive to take him down!

Su Baiyi shook his head, took Jinyiwei back to the command headquarters, and began to think about other things.

The next day was another sunny day.

The students of Yuyuan rented 10 carts from the big car shop in the south of Guide Province, each of which could carry up to a dozen people, and prepared to call on those who came to participate in the auction to visit the Yellow River.

But as a result, very few people got on the bus, and most of them went there on their own horses or cars!

That's a peace of mind!

Su Baiyi, with a dozen students and a dozen brocade guards, also walked quickly towards the Yellow River.

By the Yellow River, a venue with the same regulations as the first auction was also built.

Wang Zheng and other officials waited by the river early.

Today's Yellow River has changed from a month ago.

The foundation of the whole plant has been poured, and the equipment for dry distillation of coke has not only been built, but also put into use, and a lot of coke has been distilled, which has also returned from Ruzhou, and then a boatload of coal has been transported to the Yellow River.

From a distance, along the Yellow River, these five blast furnaces with a height of more than ten meters are neatly erected, one of which is burning, and there are workers who select iron ore and limestone, coke, catalysts and other items to put into the blast furnace.

Next to the three blast furnaces is a simple workshop, in which more than a dozen blacksmiths and carvers are now busy, and they have begun to hand-make the first batch of simple lathes powered by humans and animals under the leadership of Su Wangzheng.

After a short time, a large number of guests came to the Yellow River, standing there from a distance, looking at the two burning stoves and the busy scene of the entire construction site, each of them was amazed.

Wang Zheng led people to greet him, and did not let the guests see the workshop, but led them to an open venue and began to line up!

When Su Baiyi arrived, Wang Zheng ran over in person, not only stretched out his hand to pull Su Baiyi's horse reins to lead the horse personally, but also shouted "Lord Su, Master Su" non-stop, that affection is equivalent to the long-lost father and son!

Wang Zheng's attitude has taken a 180-degree turn, neither because Su Baiyi gave him a salary increase nor because he was promoted, but because, after this month of study and practice, this product has fallen in love with this job.

When the first molten iron comes out and is smelted into steel.

When the first steels were made into alloy steels with other metals!

When Wang Zheng personally saw that various high-performance steels showed different excellent properties in front of him, he was deeply impressed by Su Baiyi's knowledge, and willingly led the leading group to start the work of the entire mechanical college.

"Lord Wang, it's all arranged, right?" Su Baiyi dismounted and asked.

"It's arranged, it's all arranged according to Master Su's instructions!" Wang Zheng said with a smile: "Now we have enough coal and stone, and there is a steady supply of iron ore, and we are not far from large-scale production, but there is still a problem that is not easy to solve!" ”

"What's the problem?" Su Baiyi asked.

"There's not enough tin cans!" Wang Zheng spread his hands: "We distilled a lot of coal and stone, and we also collected a lot of by-products, and those crude ammonia, asphalt or something, there was no place to put it immediately." ”

"Is this still not easy to solve?" Su Bai said with a smile: "Far away from the Yellow River, dig a one-zhang deep god pit, round, the surrounding and the bottom are built with masonry, the inside is completely plastered and sealed with mortar, and the asphalt is all poured inside, it is estimated that you will not worry about it this year!" ”

"What a good idea!" Wang Zheng patted his ass.

"As for crude ammonia!" Su Baiyi thought for a while: "Give it to Bao Erhei and let him use the car to pull it to the Yuyuan to water the fields and raise flowers!" By the way, if there is any leftover, you can consider giving it to the people of Guide Province to fertilize the fields. I'm telling you, this thing is much more fertile than manure! ”

"Okay, let's start working on it after I'm busy today!"

Su Baiyi learned a little more about the production of alloy steel.

When he learned that the dean of the School of Materials, Annie, and his younger brother Ando, the workers of the School of Materials had successfully produced several mass alloy steels.

There are three main types: knife alloy steel, bearing alloy steel, and spring alloy steel.

As for the other metals needed in the alloy, such as manganese, chromium, strontium, etc., Su Baiyi purchased them from the system, after all, it is not realistic to separate people to mine manganese ore and chrome ore respectively.

"The queue is almost there, the official is busy with other things, you go first!" Su Baiyi waved his hand to send Wang Zheng away, and walked to the side of the long line.

"Everyone!" Su Baiyi had a smile on his face, and pointed to all the buildings next to him with a wave: "See, these are all workshops built for railway construction, including steel production workshops and equipment production workshops." He pointed to the temporary auction venue next to him: "The workshop will take everyone to visit one by one, there is a train exhibition in the record store, let's go and see what the railway is first!" ”
