Tianjin.
Cheng Bo'an, Zhu Benduan, Feng Xiang, and Ye Li walked leisurely in the streets and alleys of Tianjin New District, carefully observing the increasingly prosperous city.
Today¡¯s Tianjin City, especially Tianjin New Town, is very prosperous and lively.
There are many high-rise buildings here, and the surrounding buildings are almost all made of reinforced concrete. They are basically seven or eight floors. Buildings of seven or eight floors are naturally nothing in later generations, but in this era, they are considered high-rise buildings.
The land in Tianjin New City is basically monopolized by Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao, so the planning here is also neat, with roads extending in all directions, all made of cement roads, and very clean and tidy.
On both sides of the street are restaurants, teahouses, restaurants, shops, etc. Basically, they use a lot of glass and glass products for decoration, which has a sense of trend that is different from this era.
When they came here, Cheng Boan and Zhu Benduan felt that they were bumpkin from the countryside and had never seen the world, so they looked around curiously.
"This Tianjin city is indeed well-deserved. It is indeed extremely prosperous."
Cheng Boan said with some sigh, coming here is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. It is dazzling to see. The few people are dressed in extraordinary clothes, but they feel like country bumpkins.
It is popular for people here in Tianjin New City to have short hair, shave beards, and wear shorts and shorts, because these are the standard equipment for sailors who go to sea. As long as the sailors go to sea, they have short hair, shave beards, and wear shorts and shorts (this shorts Shorts are actually clothes and trousers of later generations. Compared with the robes of this era, they are shorts and shorts, not the shorts of later generations).
Because the crew members who go to sea are all representatives of high-income people, and all of them are very rich, it naturally drives the whole atmosphere in Tianjin.
This has been the case since ancient times. Only those with money and status can set trends and drive trends.
The crew¡¯s income is high and their status is gradually improving, so they can naturally take the lead.
"I heard that buying a house here in Tianjin Xincheng costs thousands of taels of silver."
Zhu Benduan also followed suit.
"A thousand taels of silver? A Sanjin courtyard in the capital doesn't need a thousand taels of silver, right?"
When Feng Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"No need, but how expensive are the houses here in Tianjin? Did you see that billboard?"
Zhu Benduan nodded, and then pointed to a billboard hanging on the street in front of him. This billboard was clearly an advertisement for Tianjin Real Estate. It read, "Moon Moon Bay Phase 6 will go on sale on October 15th, with the lowest price for each unit." One thousand two hundred taels of silver! ¡¯
"One thousand two hundred taels of silver?"
"Can this house be sold?"
Ye Li looked at the billboard and was dumbfounded. Who would buy such an expensive house?
"Not only can it be sold, but it is also selling very hotly. I heard that you have to grab it to buy it."
"You may not know that Moon Bay is the most famous place in the entire Tianjin New City. Liu Jin and the prince have mansions here, and all the rich people in Tianjin gather here."
"Those who open factories and workshops in Tianjin, as well as various businessmen and sailors who go to sea, are very wealthy and are rushing to buy these houses."
¡°There are also some wealthy people from all over the Ming Dynasty. Houses in Tianjin are rising as the tide lifts all boats, and the prices are getting higher and higher.¡±
Zhu Benduan smiled and shook his head. It was really hard to understand, but these were the situations he asked people to inquire about.
Such an expensive house can not only be sold, but also sold very hotly, which is unbelievable.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's find a place to drink tea and discuss things."
Cheng Bo'an shook his head slightly, but he also didn't understand this. How could he have more money to buy some land?
Soon, the four of them came to a restaurant and asked for a private room by the window. They ordered a pot of tea and a few snacks. While drinking tea, they looked at the busy traffic below and chatted. It seemed to be a kind of enjoyment.
"Prime Minister Feng, how are you going to negotiate with the Tianjin Shipyard?"
The first thing Chen Boan asked was about ships. Since Du Mingen emphasized the importance of ships so much, although the ships from Tianjin Shipyard were expensive, he still had to buy them in order to make money.
"The price of ships at Tianjin Shipyard has increased, and the price of a ship that can sail on the ocean has risen to 200,000 taels of silver."The ship is ready, and a deposit of 50,000 taels of silver needs to be paid in advance before lining up for production. "
Feng Xiang shook his head slightly and said.
Today he went to the Tianjin Shipyard to talk about buying a ship. He had learned a lot. This ocean-going ship costing 250,000 taels of silver turned out to be like cabbage. There were many people rushing to buy it. They didn't regard silver as money at all. Orders for several ships were placed.
"Two hundred thousand taels of silver per ship?"
¡°You still have to pay a deposit first and then line up for production?¡±
When the others heard this, they immediately said slightly surprised.
"Yes, it costs 250,000 taels of silver per vessel. You need to pay a deposit first and then line up for production. And it has already been lined up until next year."
Feng Xiang nodded and said.
"They are the only ones in the world who know how to build ships. No matter how expensive they are, they don't have them in stock yet. They still have to pay a deposit and queue up for production."
Ye Li couldn't help but complained.
"There are many shipyards in Tianjin, such as Zhang's Shipyard, Li's Shipyard, Hongyuan Shipyard, etc. There are more than a dozen large and small shipyards, but everyone has said that the ships of this Tianjin Shipyard it's the best."
Prime Minister Feng told what he knew about the situation.
"How come there are so many shipyards and other shipyards can't build ocean-going ships?"
Cheng Boan also asked.
"Yes, other shipyards also have ocean-going ships, fishing ships, whaling ships, etc., but it is said that the quality is not very good, and the quality is far inferior to the ships of Tianjin Shipyard."
Feng Xiang said.
"What about the price? How much does one boat cost?"
Ye Li asked quickly.
"Ocean-going ships from other shipyards are quite cheap. You can buy one for only 100,000 taels of silver, and some shipyards still have them in stock. Even if they are lined up for production, you only need to wait a month or two."
"However, didn't the Marquis say that you must use ships from Tianjin Shipyard when going to Huanghuangzhou, because their ships are of the most reliable quality. Many sailors who go to sea also said that the ships of Tianjin Shipyard are of the best quality."
Feng Xiang replied.
"They are all ocean-going ships, so it shouldn't be a big deal if they are of poor quality. These two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver a ship will not be available until next year. By then, the day lilies will be cold, and others may have already moved on from gold. Bian is back."
Zhu Benduan shook his head slightly and said.
"Yes, you can also check out the ships from other shipyards. They are all ocean-going ships. Even if they are a little bit different, they shouldn't be too far behind."
Ye Li also followed suit.
"With as much money as we have, we can build a shipyard here in Jiangnan and build ships ourselves. Isn't it just shipbuilding? How difficult can it be?"
Cheng Boan thought about it and expressed his support.
¡°That¡¯s what I¡¯ll say, let¡¯s do whatever everyone says. We southerners have always been good at shipbuilding. We will also build a few shipyards in the south, so we don¡¯t have to ask them in the future.¡±
Feng Xiang nodded. This ship is too expensive. In fact, a few thousand taels of silver is enough to build a ship. Selling it for tens of thousands taels is a huge profit. Tianjin Shipyard is good, and it actually sells it for 250,000 taels. Two silver coins is really too dark.
¡°How about we go look at the ships from other shipyards first?¡±
Cheng Boan thought for a while and suggested.
"Okay, let's take a closer look~"
"I heard that the ships of Zhang's Shipyard are very good. They are among the earliest shipyards established in Tianjin. Moreover, Zhang's Shipyard is also the property of two brothers, Jianchang Bo and Shouning Hou. The fishing boats of Zhang's Shipyard are And whalers are also selling like hotcakes.¡±
Feng Xiang nodded, and then mentioned Zhang's Shipyard.
"The Zhang brothers' shipyard?"
"Hou Ninghou, Jianchang Bo?"
When the others heard this, they were slightly surprised. Of course they knew the names of the Zhang brothers, but they didn't expect that they also had their own shipyard.
"The Zhang brothers have many industries, because they have their own shipyard. The Zhang brothers have their own fishing fleet and whaling fleet, which are very large, and they also have several caravans that go to Korea and Japan. , the business is very big.¡±
"In Tianjin and Beijing, there are coal factories, cement factories and textile factories run by the Zhang brothers. They are doing a lot of business and it is said that they have made a lot of money."
"In the past, I heard that the Zhang brothers ate porridge every meal, but now it is said that they can have four dishes and one soup every meal."
Feng Xiang smiled and nodded, and then told some interesting stories about the Zhang brothers. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
