Chapter 143 The Grand Plan for Maritime Transport (2)
"Little prince, please see, this is a small sloop cargo ship, with a total length of thirty-two meters, twelve meters at the widest point, a weight of seventy-eight tons, a load of three hundred and eighty tons, and a ......cost of eight thousand taels of silver per ship, this is a large three-masted battleship, also known as a battleship, with a total length of one hundred and eighty-three meters, a weight of one thousand three hundred tons, three rows of portholes, twelve naval guns on the left and right of each floor, and a ......cost of 103,000 taels of silver, as long as the little prince can think of it, it can be made for the little prince below!"
Reach? Agassi bent over, pointing to the drawings of the place with great excitement, and quickly introduced the characteristics and cost of the various ships, and his confidence was overflowing.
The shipbuilding technology of the Qing Dynasty is backward, and if it does not catch up, it will be difficult to avoid the situation of being slaughtered by others in later generations!
Hongqing listened quietly to Da? Agassi's introduction, his face is always a warm smile, but in fact, his heart is very heavy, yes, he does not know the relevant technology of shipbuilding, and even does not know much about the warships of this era.
"I don't know how many ships you plan to build, and what model you want, please make it clear, and arrange the shipbuilding plan in the future."
Hongqing thought a little distracted for a while, and didn't say a word for a while. Agassico waited a little impatiently, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only ask a question with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Agassi, how much is your shipyard worth?"
Hongqing didn't answer directly? Agassi asked with a smile instead.
"This ......"
When I heard Hongqing's question, Da? Agassi couldn't help but be stunned, and he really didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Let's put it this way, Ben Beizi plans to buy your shipyard, of course, it is a merger and acquisition of people with the factory, if you want cash, you can also convert it into shares, give Ben Beizi a quasi, you and I can further discuss cooperation matters."
Hongqing didn't let Da? Agassida pondered, waved his hand, and explained with a smile.
"Acquisitions? This ......, ah, little prince, please wait, let me discuss with my companions. ”
Reach? Agassi came to Beijing this time, originally just wanted to get some orders, this time I heard that Hongqing actually wanted to play the acquisition, I was really surprised, happy and afraid, how dare I make a decision, this is a crime, I plan to listen to the opinions of the two guys before deciding.
"It's okay, Mr. Agassi, please."
The acquisition is very cumbersome, and it is not something that can be negotiated once or twice, and it is just a matter of intention, and Hongqing will not object to Agassi's proposal.
"May I ask the little prince, how much silver do you plan to invest, and how will you run the shipyard, if it is convenient, please ask the little prince to give me an explanation in the next one."
Reach? After talking to the two companions in Portuguese for a long time, Agassi finally turned around, but instead of answering Hongqing's previous question, he asked with a solemn expression.
"Huh."
Hongqing didn't answer, but chuckled and raised two fingers.
"This ......, the little prince is talking about 20,000 taels of silver? Two hundred thousand taels? ”
When I saw Hongqing's style, Da? Agassi couldn't help but be a little confused, reached out and scratched his head, tentatively guessing.
"Wrong, it's two million taels of silver!"
Hongqing laughed and gave an amazing answer.
"Ah......h
Hearing such an astronomical number, reach? Agasil was dumbfounded, looked at Hongqing dumbfounded, speechless for a while, and at the end, his body shook suddenly, and he asked with a look of disbelief: "Little prince, what you said is true?" ”
"Ben Beizi does not hide from Mr. Ben Beizi, these two million taels of silver are not in place at one time, but in installments, the first installment is about 400,000 taels, and the funds behind it should be added according to the efficiency of Mr. 's work, as for the operation, according to the practice of your country, it will be managed in the form of a board of directors, Mr. Agassi can become the shareholder and general manager of the company, and the detailed rules and regulations can be sat down and talked slowly."
Hongqing nodded and gave a rough charter.
"Okay, okay, okay, talk slowly, talk slowly."
Reach? Agassi came to the Qing Dynasty thousands of miles away, in order to seek wealth, but it is a pity that after more than ten years of dismal management, he can only barely mix food and clothing, and when he heard Hongqing not like he was joking, he was really excited, his head nodded like pounding garlic, and he muttered incoherently in his mouth.
"It's not too early today, Mr. Agassi has worked hard all the way, so let's rest here first, and then Ben Beizi asked the shopkeeper Liu to negotiate with you in detail, Ben Beizi believes that as long as you have a heart, you and I will be able to cooperate happily, what do you say?"
Hongqing was very greedy for the ships on the drawings, and he couldn't wait to quickly convert the drawings into real things, but he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and some things still had to be discussed in detail, but he was not in a hurry, so he smiled and ordered.
"Little prince, you have the final say, and there is no objection to it."
Reach? Agassi's desire has already been stirred up by Hongqing, and he can't wait to make a decision on this matter in his heart, but Hongqing is not in a hurry, and he doesn't dare to force it, so he can only hold down the impulse in his heart, and answer respectfully, and then lead the two guys to exit the study with the "sharp knife" who greeted them, and went to urgently negotiate the relevant details without mentioning it.
"Sun is at the helm, your father and son will also go to rest first, and then go back to Benbeizi and talk to you in detail, is that okay?"
Sent away? After Agassi, Hongqing didn't want to stay here any longer, so he got up, and Wen Yan instructed the father and son of the Sun family.
"Everything is arranged by the little prince."
The father and son of the Sun family had already been shocked by Hongqing's generosity, and how could they dare to have any objections to Hongqing's arrangement, so they could only respond respectfully, and their own subordinates took the two out of the study.
"Xuan Min, you can follow Ben Beizi to the firm."
After the Sun family's father and son went, Hongqing didn't stay any longer, beckoned, gave an order to Liu Qi, and then walked out of the study......
"Yo, Brother Qing is here? What's wrong, it's not the right thing to do today? ”
The business of "Kirin Firm" is as hot as ever, the traffic is busy, and it is very lively, and only the back hall of the account room is a quiet place, and the Yinlu brothers have a small teapot, and they are happy to be happy, and suddenly they saw Hongqing pick up the curtain and come in, and they all got up, Yinlu just smiled and nodded, but Yinlu, who was rough by nature, teased Hongqing with a smile.
"The big guys are here, so it's good to dare to be kind, and that's a good discussion."
Hongqing had long been accustomed to Yinlu's naughtiness, but she didn't care much about it, she walked slowly to the coffee table, dragged a chair casually, lifted the hem of her robe, sat down, and then shook her hand and opened her mouth with a solemn expression.
"Huh? Brother Qing, you are ......"
Seeing Hongqing's serious appearance, the two Yinlu brothers couldn't help but be stunned, they really couldn't figure out what kind of business they were talking about, and after glancing at each other, they still let Yinlu say something to test it.
"It's a good thing, does Uncle Sixteen remember what his little nephew said about overseas trade the year before last?"
Overseas trade and investment are huge, and millions of taels of investment are often invested, although Hongqing is the largest shareholder of the firm, but it is not easy to act arbitrarily, and the discussion naturally has to communicate with the two elder brothers.
"Oh? Brother Qing is about to move, ha, you promised a million family properties, you have been looking forward to this day for a long time, say it, say it quickly, what are you going to do? ”
"Kirin Firm" since the year before the opening of the year, it has been more than a year and a half, the stall is not small, although the investment is not large, but all kinds of calculations, the investment is really not young, although the profitability is quite amazing, the silver that can be earned is more than 800,000 taels, it is a lot, but Yinlu is obviously not satisfied, has long been looking forward to Hongqing can put the overseas trade on the agenda, and has not asked about it in private, but has never received Hongqing's reply, this time I heard Hongqing take the initiative to mention, Deng Shi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and he yelled in a hurry.
"Sixteen uncles are not in a hurry, this matter is a long story, and the little nephew will sort out the charter, in short, this matter can be divided into three steps, one is to buy the shipyard, this one, there are eyebrows, and now there are Portuguese people? Agassi rushed to Beijing, tomorrow immediately discuss cooperation, the second step is shipbuilding, we wait or do not do, to do the largest, is expected to build more than 100 large ships in batches, divided into three ways to go to the sea, one to go to the East, two to the South Seas, as for the last way to go to Europa, the third step can be carried out separately from the second step, that is to build a navigation school, in order to train the sailors needed by our fleet, there are these three in, when not to worry about the big thing, but the investment is not small, the initial budget, after all, must have tens of millions of taels of silver to complete all the mattersOf course, the first phase of investment is not much, about 500,000 taels can be dealt with, while building ships and operating, it is estimated that two million taels will be invested in three years, and the risk is not small. ”
Overseas trade is a big article, and it is by no means a matter of words that can clearly explain the stakes in it, although Hongqing has been simple and simple, but he still said a dry mouth.
"Hey, what Brother Qing said, let's do it, there is no other word, it's decided!"
Yinlu was so convinced of Hongqing that he didn't care about the risks or not, and he didn't think about the pros and cons, so he didn't hesitate to express his position.
"Brother Qing, you'll see that it's done."
Yinyu is careful, knowing that although overseas trade can make a lot of money, but the sea is unpredictable, the risk is really not small, but he doesn't care much about the loss or not, the left and right Hongqing has made a decision, he followed it, it's a big deal that the past few years have been in vain, with the "Kirin Firm" cash cow, I am really not afraid of not being able to earn it back, when I think of this, there will be no objections to it.
"Okay, then it's decided, Ming'er's little nephew will put the charter out, and I'll discuss it in detail later!"
As soon as he heard the little brothers say this, Hongqing didn't talk any more, high-fived, and made a conclusion.
