Liu Yifeng and Qiu Qilin sent Yang Changbai and the three people away, and after the three of them disappeared into the night, Qiu Qilin looked back at this young man who had been surprising himself since he met.

"Boss Qiu, why are you looking at me like this?"

"I'm looking at a young hero, when I was your age, I would only visit the Qinglou."

Boss Qiu laughed. After Liu Yifeng said a few words modestly, he said: "I was going to entertain the three people of Lord Yang just now, but the hospitality was not good, I don't know if Boss Qiu can enjoy his face and drink a few more glasses with his younger brother." ”

"Hahaha, that's a good feeling!"

Qiu Qilin originally agreed to come to help Liu Yifeng support the field today, but he had the intention of befriending this young man, how could he refuse.

Liu Yifeng also knew that this Qiu Qilin was also a rough man, and he would not be so particular about the banquet again, and the main dish this time was not a dish, but a painting.

"This! This is! What kind of ship is this!? ”

Qiu Qilin, as the founder of the Dongshan Prefecture Fleet Chamber of Commerce, and Zheng's agent in Dongshan Prefecture, must be a ship expert. And the words that Liu Yifeng deliberately took out were painted by the navy shipwrights with him.

In this process, the group of skilled shipwrights with low eye and low emotional intelligence were quickly convinced by Liu Yifeng's superb methods, and the relationship between the two sides quickly warmed up. In addition, Liu Yifeng was originally the "inventor" of the clipper boat, and he had a good personal relationship with Zhang Jun, with some simple food offensives, and a painting with a low degree of secrecy asked him to take it out.

This painting of a clipper boat is not an ink painting, but a stick figure. But it is only the stick figure that can see the characteristics of the clipper.

"I haven't named it yet, but I personally call it a clipper."

"Clippers?" Qiu Qilin's eyes were full of light, which was the reverse of the excitement of the things he loved and the new gadgets he had never seen before: "This is the ship of the Fran man?" But the hull of the ship was not like the ship of the Francis, nor like the ship of the Dutch, but a bit like our ship. ”

Qiu Qilin is still knowledgeable, and Liu Yifeng secretly sighed that he had found the right person.

When he was in Yushan City, he tested Zhang Jun whether the construction of the clipper ship could involve the civil forces. Zhang Jun understood his off-string sound and reported to Wang Qi. Wang Qi's attitude is yes, but it has to be tested by the navy, and not all cats and dogs can participate.

Liu Yifeng felt that Qiu Qilin, who was born in the Zheng family and established the Dongshan Prefecture Fleet Chamber of Commerce, should be qualified, so he had such a show.

"Brother Liu, is this true!?"

Liu Yifeng briefly introduced the clipping boat, and after saying that he participated in Wang Qi and Zhang Jun's plan to fly clipping the experimental ship, he proposed to invite Qiu Qilin to participate.

Hearing the news, Qiu Qilin's whole person stood up directly: "Brother Liu, this is true!?" ”

"Brother Qiu, you helped me so much, how could I lie to you."

These two people used to be "Shopkeeper Liu" and "Boss Qiu", but now they are directly "Brother Liu" and "Brother Qiu", and the relationship is not a little close.

"Ouch, man, I need to sit down, I'm feeling a little dizzy right now."

Don't look at Qiu Qilin's origin, but he is also a remote person in the Zheng family, otherwise he would not be in Dongshan Prefecture but in the local or Annan capital. But if he can tower the thought of the navy, then his position in the Zheng family will skyrocket, and it is not impossible to transfer back to the mainland in the future.

So this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.

He originally wanted to establish the Fleet Chamber of Commerce in order to monopolize the shipping of Dongshan Prefecture and slowly get involved with several major official forces in Dongshan Prefecture to improve his status in the Zheng family. Unexpectedly, the fleet chamber of commerce is still in the embryonic stage, and the opportunity to achieve its strategic goals has actually come to the door by itself!

Who doesn't feel so excited that it's a little dazzling.

Liu Yifeng didn't know this, he did it for his purpose, to put it bluntly, he was empty-handed: "Brother Qiu, however, I asked for it." ”

For such a big matter, there is no problem if there is no request, and Qiu Qilin is even happier when he hears that there is a request, which shows that what Liu Yifeng said is reliable!

"Brother, you say!"

"Brother Liu" was directly changed to "brother".

Liu Yifeng also hit the snake with the stick: "Brother, I want to buy a boat from you, but I may not be able to pay it off at one time, I can pay 5% first, and I will pay the remaining 5% according to 7% of the boat price within 3 years, what do you think?" ”

"Pay in installments? It's not a big problem. ”

Liu Yifeng was stunned, he was surprised that Qiu Qilin accepted the concept of installment payment so quickly.

The first installment payment in Chinese history was in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sold his official position. Because it was too expensive and he was in a hurry to make money, he actually proposed the concept of paying in installments. But it has not been popularized, and it has not appeared for thousands of years.

The concept of installment payment was really popularized in Chinese history during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, when the Qing court carried out housing reform, and the free housing of the banner people became a welfare house purchase, and the down-and-out households among the banner people could not afford it, so there was the concept of installment payment. And this time, the concept of installment payment has been successfully continued and popularized in other fields.

"It doesn't take 3 years and 7 to become successful, and there are only 5 achievements left."

Liu Yifeng didn't have time to think about how Qiu Qilin accepted the installment payment so quickly, and it seemed to be very familiar, and the focus of his thoughts turned back to quickly implementing this big deal.

Yes, buying a boat is really a big deal for him. Not only for him, but for many people, buying a monorail fortune ship or a Guangzhou ship is a big deal. Buying a ship is not just a follow-up after buying, the crew, maintenance, these are the bulk of the money spent later, basically the annual crew and maintenance costs, and half a ship again. If you are unlucky, something goes wrong during the voyage, and you may have to throw in the price of a boat to repair it during a voyage.

This is why Dongshan Prefecture has been in the capital for so many years, and only Qiu Qilin, relying on the support of the Zheng family behind him, established the Fleet Chamber of Commerce after determining that there was a gold mine outside Jinshan City. His fleet chamber of commerce wants to get the recognition and support of all ship managers, but it is not based on prestige and Zheng origin, the port north of Jinshan Bay, and the shipyard that is not under the management of the Maritime Administration and the Navy, is the real reason.

Of course, some people will say that the ship is broken to the point that the repair cost is about the same as buying another one, so just buy it without repairing it. That's true, but only if it's sold. If you can do it locally, the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate may be able to do it, but not Dongshan Prefecture, which does not have so many idle ships. After all, from the moment the ship was built, the maintenance fee began to be calculated, and except for the navy, there was no such big business bank in Dongshan Prefecture.

"Brother, I'm not done yet." Liu Yifeng continued to talk about his conditions: "I also hope that you can help me train a group of seafarers for free, and the maintenance fee will also be discounted if you can." ”

If Liu Yifeng could not help him connect with the navy, Qiu Qilin estimated that no matter how good his cultivation was, he would send it off directly. But as long as you can really help him build a line for the navy, this investment is worth it!

"Brother, as long as you can help my brother and I join in the construction of your clippers, brother, I will give you a shipload of crew members, and it will be no problem to help you maintain it for free for 3 years!"

Qiu Qilin is turning passive into active.

The tone of the conversation between the two before, but Liu Yifeng only took a line, and whether he could enter the navy to build a verification ship for flying clippers depended on his Qiu Qilin's creation and ability. But now Qiu Qilin saw through him Liu Yifeng also had a request for himself, he had a bargaining chip, and immediately chose stud, and directly put out his own conditions, but instead put forward conditions for Liu Yifeng.

Liu Yifeng understood the meaning of his words, he hesitated for a few seconds, and under Qiu Qilin's nervous gaze, he said, "Brother, in that case, let this matter go first." ”

Then he stretched out his hand to stop Qiu Qilin, who was in a hurry, and continued: "Do you know the garden near the sea in the northwest of New Jinshan City? ”

Qiu Qilin didn't know why he mentioned this, but he knew there: "Well, I heard that the owner of the garden is a big official, but I don't know who it is." ”

"The proprietor is Zhang Jun, the captain of the Breaking Waves, Lord Zhang, his restaurant opened for the Lantern Festival, and my dishes tonight were entrusted to me by Mr. Zhang, and he wanted to use them on the day he opened. In addition, thanks to Lord Zhang, my brother and I have a little stake in the restaurant. ”

Qiu Qilin heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning: "Brother, brother, thank you first!" ”

Liu Yifeng mentioned this, it is obvious that no matter whether you agree to my conditions or not, I will first express my sincerity to match you. As for whether or not you can meet the conditions proposed by you Qiu Qilin, it can only depend on the operation of the two of us that day.

This is a very sincere attitude of cooperation, and the old Jianghu Qiu Qilin naturally heard it, and he was also very satisfied. On the contrary, if Liu Yifeng agreed, he still felt that this matter was probably hanging.

"Hahaha, don't talk about this." Qiu Qilin knew that the heat was in place, and now it was time to bring him closer to Liu Yifeng's personal relationship: "Brother, you have to tell your brother about your deal with Dongshan Qianzhuang." Now you know about it, but the shopkeeper of a commercial bank in Dongshan Prefecture knows about it, I heard that there are still cannons, is it really fake? ”

Liu Yifeng has a headache, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, he just wants to be low-key and obscene.

"The story is ...... long"

The two tacitly began to get closer to each other and each other, Qiu Qilin even slept with Liu Yifeng directly with a cheeky face, and left early the next morning.

Looking at Qiu Qilin's figure of directly buying 50 boxes of rice candy and inlaid bean candy gift boxes and leaving, Liu Yifeng turned his head and said to Zheng Zhilong, who didn't know why he had to come to see him off: "Lao Zheng, about your dreams, I think the two of us need to talk." ”
