Zhu Benduan, Cheng Boyan, Feng Xiang, and Ye Li left Zhang's Shipyard, and then continued to conduct inspections at major shipyards in Tianjin and consulted in detail for relevant information.
Other shipyards are similar to Zhang's Shipyard, and some are even worse than Zhang's Shipyard. They are small in scale and can only build fishing boats, not even whaling ships.
There are more than a dozen large and small shipyards, but only a few can build ocean-going ships. The prices of ocean-going ships from each of them are similar, floating around one hundred thousand taels of silver, and the price difference is not big.
The shipbuilding capabilities are similar. If ten large ships are ordered at one time, they will not be delivered until the spring of next year.
In a private room of a teahouse in Tianjin, four people were discussing while drinking tea.
¡°Let¡¯s quickly come up with an idea as to which shipyard to place the order with. More and more people are coming to Tianjin now. If we don¡¯t decide to place the order, we may not be able to make it to Huanghuangzhou next year.¡±
Cheng Bo'an looked at the people around him, took a sip of tea and said, the business this time is indeed too big. The one-time investment is conservatively more than two million taels of silver. In addition, it is the first time to enter this field, so I was unfamiliar with him in all aspects, and a few people felt that it was a big headache.
It¡¯s a bit difficult to make a decision just to buy a boat. I don¡¯t know which shipyard to place an order with.
¡°My suggestion is to buy ships from Tianjin Shipyard. Although Tianjin Shipyard¡¯s ships are very expensive, everyone has gone to see them. Tianjin Shipyard is not comparable to other shipyards in all aspects.¡±
"This Golden Continent is thousands of miles away. If there is no reliable ship, I estimate that we may lose everything."
Feng Xiang was the first to speak. He still felt that it was more reliable to buy ships from Tianjin Shipyard. After all, most people bought ships from Tianjin Shipyard, and all seafarers who went to sea also praised ships from Tianjin Shipyard. Therefore, It can be seen that the ships of this Tianjin Shipyard may really be unique.
"But the ships from the Tianjin Shipyard are too expensive. At this price, we can buy two ships and still have some leftover. Moreover, the Tianjin Shipyard has too many orders. If we place an order now, we will probably have to wait a long time." It won¡¯t be until July next year.¡±
"By then, the other fleets have already headed to Golden Continent, but we haven't even gotten the ship yet."
Ye Li shook his head to express his objection.
¡°I think I¡¯ll make my decision with Zhang¡¯s Shipyard. Overall, Zhang¡¯s Shipyard is relatively reliable.¡±
Zhu Benduan thought for a while and said.
¡°I also think it¡¯s Zhang¡¯s Shipyard. The price is cheap. For the price of two ships from Tianjin Shipyard, you can buy two and a half ships at Zhang¡¯s Shipyard.¡±
"In addition, Zhang's Shipyard built the Dafu Ship. I also asked someone to check it. Du Mingen and the others also used the Fortune Ship to go to Huanghuangzhou. There is no difference."
Chen Boan thought for a while and nodded.
"I just feel that these Zhang brothers have poor character, and I always feel that they are a bit unreliable."
Ye Li thought for a while and said, the names of the Zhang brothers are naturally known to everyone. Everyone inside and outside the court, whether it is the civil servants or the military generals, do not like these two brothers. They are notorious.
"But I heard that the Zhang brothers are very honest when doing business."
Zhu Benduan thought for a while and said.
"I think we should not put our eggs in one basket. Zhang's Shipyard can put a few ships here, Li's Shipyard can also put a few ships here, and it is best that Tianjin Shipyard also put a few ships here."
"If something goes wrong then, it won't be all in vain. If ten ships go out, a few can come back, and they can bring back millions of taels of silver. We won't lose everything."
Feng Xiang pondered for a while, then thought about it and suggested.
"This is a good idea. We really shouldn't put our eggs in one basket."
When the others heard this, they immediately nodded.
"Then just do as Feng Xiang said. Everyone has no objections, right?"
Cheng Boan looked at the other people and asked.
"How will this matter be settled~"
Ye Li nodded.
"I have no objection~"
Zhu Benduan also nodded.
Just as a few people were discussing the matter of buying a boat, a rough voice sounded from a box next to them. The voice sounded very angry, as if he felt that he had been greatly insulted.
&n"The Tian Boyi who just left is also from Huguang. He used to be just a bitter person who couldn't even eat enough. Now he is very arrogant."
"We wanted to hire him to lead a team to the Golden Continent, and offered him a sky-high price of one hundred and fifty taels of silver a month, Yuexiang, but he didn't even show us a good look, and just walked away without saying a word. To say we are insulting him.¡±
"One hundred and fifty taels of silver a month. The moon sounds. This year, it is nearly two thousand taels. It is enough to buy a large field. Unexpectedly, I can't even hire anyone."
Hearing Cheng Boan's words, Chen Chao said with a slight wry smile.
"Yeah, how can there be such a thing in the world? In our Huguang, let alone one hundred and fifty taels of silver a month, someone will work for you if you give them five taels of silver a month. As for ordinary people, if you give them only five taels of silver a month, One tael of silver is enough, and we also heard that the crew members here in Tianjin all earn very high wages."
"So I offered them a sky-high price of one hundred and fifty taels of silver, even though I knew it would be like this."
Li Hong also shook his head and sighed.
Hearing what the two said, Cheng Bo'an, Zhu Benduan and others were also slightly dumbfounded. They looked at each other and felt their heads grow heavy again. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
