Chapter 842: Noisy to buy a boat

With the publication of the newspaper, Huang Yuan and everyone in the shipyard also understood why so many ministers suddenly came to buy steamships yesterday.

It turns out that they are all eager to try, ready to go to Israel to make a fortune!

"I heard that the ship of Tongwuhou and their ships have been loaded with several boatloads of grain early this morning, and they set off from the port, so they are probably the first to go to Yizhou, right?"

A craftsman behind Huang Yuan spoke.

"Well, it should be!"

Huang Yuan nodded approvingly.

If not, those old guys wouldn't have visited late at night, and they would have to get their hands on the steamer!

It is estimated that it is to be one step ahead of others and go to Israel!

"Young Eunuch Huang, go and take a look, there are already a lot of people gathered outside the shipyard, all clamoring to buy a ship!"

At this moment, a craftsman suddenly ran over and gave his hand to report.

Due to the shipyard being renovated, the doors were closed during this time, and there was no official opening for business!

The noble and wealthy families who came could only be blocked out of the gate.

Like yesterday's ministers, they looked anxiously into the shipyard one by one, for fear that the ships would not be enough!

"How many people came?"

Huang Yuan asked in a deep voice as he walked out.

"Why are there hundreds of people!"

The craftsman said with a sigh of relief.

"So much?"

Huang Yuan was a little surprised.

Is everyone so rich now? Steamships say buy them?

And so many people at once?

"Yes! Looking at them, it seems that they are even more anxious than the minister who came yesterday! It seems that they are all local and nearby in Xianyang, and it is said that there are many outsiders who are rushing to us, all of whom want to buy boats to go to sea! ”

These are what the craftsmen heard from the nobles when they were maintaining order.

Steam ships are expensive and ordinary people can't use them, so their sales are average!

Belong to the kind of people who either don't open and open for three years!

I bought a batch from the last imperial court, and after I went to the Mauryan Dynasty, I was selling it sporadically!

I really didn't expect that one day it would be so sought-after!

But now the problem is that the buyer has it, but they don't have the goods!

The ships that had accumulated before had been bought almost yesterday, and now there are only two steamships in the shipyard!

"Go open the gates and bring them in!"

Out of the factory, Huang Yuan instructed the craftsmen behind him.

"Yes!"

The craftsman answered and hurried to do it.

In a moment, a group of people squeezed in.

Like a 100-meter race, it rushed towards the only two steamships in the courtyard!

"What about steamships? It can't be just two, right? ”

When he rushed in and took a look, he was a little dumbfounded.

There are only two of them parked in the yard in the huge shipyard!

"You're going to buy a steamer?"

Huang Yuan stood in the courtyard and asked unhurriedly.

"Yes! We came here so early to buy a boat! ”

"yes, where are the boats?"

The rich kept looking around the courtyard, but they still found nothing.

They are different from the ministers who came yesterday, the ministers are very familiar with Huang Yuan, and they dare to enter the door to occupy the steamer.

But they didn't dare, even if they knew that there were only two, they didn't dare to rush on the ship!

"There are only two steamships left now, two million gold each!"

Huang Yuan stretched out two fingers and said loudly.

"What? Only two left? So there are so many of us, how can we divide it? ”

Everyone's hearts sank immediately.

Now the price of steamships has risen, not to mention, there are only two left.

Is it possible to use the auction method again like last time?

It's hard to say how much money can be won in the end!

"I have two ping-pong balls in my hand, and after I throw them out, only those who are interested in buying a steamship can pick them up, and whoever receives them will have the opportunity to buy a steamship!"

Contrary to what the people thought, this time, Huang Yuan did not use the auction method.

"Good!"

When the rich families heard this, they immediately readily agreed.

"Then it's on!"

Huang Yuan turned around, turned his back to everyone, and threw the two balls in his hand.

The crowd rose up and scrambled.

The person who got the ball clung to it for fear of being taken away!

"Haha, the ball is here!"

"I grabbed one too!"

Two well-dressed men cheered loudly.

Others are depressed!

"You two go with him, go through the formalities and pay the money!"

Huang Yuan beckoned the two men who got the ball to go through the formalities with the craftsman behind him.

Watching the two leave triumphantly, everyone was even more depressed.

"Lord Huang, how can such a large shipyard only have two steamships?"

"That's right, a few of us are out of town, so we can't just go back empty-handed, right?"

The others didn't seem to give up, and still stopped in the shipyard and talked to Huang Yuan.

"Thank you for your trust in our shipyard, but there are really only so many steamships, and they will not be produced again!"

Huang Yuan's words made everyone very stunned.

"What? Steamships will not be produced in the future? ”

"What's going on? Isn't shipyards the property of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Why is it no longer produced? ”

"This has just taken the state of Israel, why don't you produce steamships before it is developed? What about immigrants after that? Isn't it said that there are still places such as Ear State and Umbrella State that have not been developed......? ”

The rich families were full of doubts and puzzled.

"Listen to me, it's true that steamships are no longer in production, and indeed the last two are in stock! But the production of internal combustion engine ships is being stepped up, and it is estimated that it will be built in less than ten days! ”

Huang Yuan's words reached the ears of the rich man, and it was like heaven.

"What? The ship with an internal combustion engine is about to be built? ”

"So, ten days later, there will still be ships for sale?"

"How does the performance of an internal combustion engine ship compare to that of a steam ship......?"

Hearing this explosive news, the rich people couldn't close their mouths happily and began to ask questions.

"Ships with internal combustion engines are no different from steam ships in terms of size and volume, and the only difference is the change in power! The internal combustion engine was developed by hundreds of craftsmen and took more than two years to develop, and the power is definitely not to say, it is more powerful than the power of the steam engine! It's just that the fuel has changed from coal and water to diesel! ”

Huang Yuan patiently explained to everyone.

"Diesel? Have you heard of it? ”

"It looks like something from the refinery that separates the stone paint, right?"

"Hmmm! Should be! ”

"No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has built oil refineries all over Daqin, working day and night, it turned out to be an internal combustion engine......!"

When it comes to diesel, everyone seems to have suddenly thought of something.

The refinery had already been built, and many people had been hired to work, and the salaries were very high!

It turns out that everything is to fuel the internal combustion engine!
