Chapter 49: Giving It for Nothing?

Zhang Yuanlong was also silent when he heard this, this is the same as doing business, what can he use to exchange shares? Money? Although Yinzhen is short of money, this share is money when it is sold out, and it is not interesting to use money, but in addition to money, what else can he come up with? Daughter? He quickly stopped this thought, and used his daughter to blackmail Yinzhen, that is not much different from looking for death, and his daughter has to hate herself to death, but with these two things, what else can he take out?

Seeing Zhang Yuanlong's sad expression, Zhang Mengjiao sighed lightly, "I didn't expect that my father was even inferior to Zheng Shichang." ”

Zheng Shichang of the 'Four Constants'? Zhang Yuanlong hesitated and said, "Are you asking your father to buy the Zhang family's fleet as a 10% share?" ”

"Hehe, just the more than 60 boats of our Zhang family, at most only 500,000 taels, one percent?" Zhang Mengjiao twitched the corners of her mouth, "Daddy's abacus is too fine, and it's about the same." ”

One point? Zhang Yuanlong was almost about to run away, but Zhang Mengjiao continued: "It's not that our Zhang family can't take out the 500,000 yuan, since it is a favor, why not send a bigger one, just give it away." ”

Free giveaway! Zhang Yuanlong's intuitive heart beat violently, and he almost didn't hold his breath, this dead girl, even a girl is an extrovert, and she doesn't have such a way, she will give 500,000 for nothing when she opens her mouth, how many 500,000 does Lao Tzu have?

"Daddy doesn't believe his daughter's vision again?" Zhang Mengjiao said lightly: "Since the Fourteenth Master wants to integrate the maritime trade fleet, he has a ship in his hand, but at the moment his shipyard is still on paper, what he needs most urgently now is a fleet, because he needs a shell to integrate the maritime trade fleet, Daddy, don't blame me for not reminding you, after this village, there will be no store, and we will be preempted by others, and we will not even have soup to drink in the future." ”

Zhang Yuanlong was also anxious when he heard this, "This fleet is sent out, what is the benefit of my Zhang family?" ”

"Benefits?" Zhang Mengjiao replied simply; "Nope."

No! It's no good to give away 500,000 for nothing, how much money do I burn? Zhang Yuanlong was about to scold angrily, but he turned a corner, with such a big favor and a daughter by his side, how could it be no good? This baby daughter is reminding herself that she can't take the initiative to ask for benefits, and the more she doesn't want benefits, the greater the benefits.

In less than half a day, there was a long queue at the gate of Liuchun Garden, not only the maritime shipowners in Shanghai County who had heads and faces came, but also the maritime shipowners in Zhenjiang and Suzhou had arrived.

When Zhang Yuanlong rushed to Liuchun Garden with his daughter, there were already more than 20 people waiting at the gate, he was also out of town all the year round, and when he saw that there were acquaintances from Zhenjiang and Suzhou, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, his news was too far behind them, and the Zhang family was slowly fading out of the inner circle of maritime businessmen, fortunately he had a baby daughter, and this opportunity had to be grasped no matter what.

After a brief greeting to these boat owners, Zhang Yuanlong's father and daughter went straight to the gate, and the guards guarding the door had already been instructed by Yinzhen, and when they saw Zhang Mengjiao, they hurriedly greeted them and brought the two into Liuchun Garden.

The sea merchant ship owners who were waiting outside couldn't help but stretch their necks, we came so early, and they were all waiting outside the door, why was this Zhang Yuanlong brought in as soon as he came? Immediately, a few people muttered, "Isn't this old Zhang just the governor of Liangjiang?" Why did you catch the line of the Fourteenth Master again in a blink of an eye? I didn't see his little daughter also came, phew, just his daughter, a wild girl, the fourteenth master can see it? Hey, this family is about to shake again in a blink of an eye. ”

As soon as he entered the Yinzhen living room, Zhang Yuanlong knelt down and saluted, "Zhang Yuanlong, a grass man, pays a visit to the prince Fourteen Belle Ye." Zhang Mengjiao followed with a depressed face, "The folk girl asks His Royal Highness the Fourteenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Master Jin An." ”

Yinzhen glanced at Zhang Mengjiao, stretched out her hand, and said with a smile, "No need to be polite." Then he commanded, "Sit down and serve tea." ”

Seeing Yinzhen's kind attitude and his daughter's presence, Zhang Yuanlong was much bolder, and he also knew that Yinzhen's time was expensive, and he didn't have time to grind his teeth with himself, so as soon as he sat down, he said straight to the point: "His Royal Highness the Fourteenth Prince is really a blessing for my people in Shanghai, but in two months, it has laid a solid foundation for the prosperity and development of Shanghai. ”

Yinzhen listened to the secret smile, gifts can be given so high-sounding, worthy of the maritime giant, this fleet is what he urgently needs at the moment, glanced at Zhang Mengjiao, this idea must be from this little girl, forgive this Zhang Yuanlong does not have such great courage, nor does he have this eyesight, it is not strange that Zhang Mengjiao can see what she urgently needs at the moment, and what is even more rare is that she has this heart, however, he has already planned, this size of the fleet, he has not seen it in his eyes, but this favor has to be received, and the benefits have to be given.

"Zhang Yuanwai's generous gift, Yinzhen deserves it." Yin Zhen said with a smile: "However, since you have this heart, I can't bear to brush off your good intentions, I heard that you are going to build a hundred sea ships, so that the Reading Pavilion, together with your hundred sea ships, will be included in my 'Great Qing Ocean Trade Fleet' Reading Pavilion, according to the regulations, the people are only allowed to build two-masted sea ships, but the two-masted sea ships are too small to be suitable for ocean navigation, since you have already invested in the shares' The Great Qing Ocean Trade Fleet', it is not in this case, the 100 seagoing ships can build a three-masted reading pavilion, 1500 materials and 2000 materials are half each, shares, I can only give you half of it. ”

Zhang Yuanlong was stunned by Yinzhen's words, a hundred three-masted ships of 1,500 and 2,000 materials, how much silver does this cost? I also want to build it, but I can't get enough of it when all the belongings are exhausted, and I only gave half of the shares, mother, what kind of fleet is this? Could this little couple be the one who slaughtered Lao Tzu's Reading Pavilion together? One has a bigger appetite than the other.

"Ahem." Zhang Mengjiao coughed lightly twice, she was also thundered by Yinzhen's appetite, seeing that her father was blinded, she had to come out and explain: "Fourteenth master, since the establishment of the Qing Dynasty to the successful recovery of Taiwan, more than 20 years of naval warfare, greatly consumed the shipbuilding giant trees along the river and coast, after the opening of the sea, it is the trend of shipbuilding, now, shipbuilding materials are in short supply, want to build thousands of huge ships, this material is particularly difficult to find, must be transported from the South Seas or Kanto, in addition, in the past 20 years, the imperial court is not allowed to build large ships, So that there are not many craftsmen who can build thousands of huge ships, which makes the price of thousands of huge ships very appalling, and a hundred ships with more than five thousand materials need at least eight million taels, and our Zhang family really does not have this strength. ”

Sad, even the chrysanthemum was exploded!! Dear friends, rise up!!
