"Thank you, Zhongcheng. Thank you, Zhongcheng." He had to kowtow to Wu Shilai again.
"Don't thank me." Wu Shilai pointed at Zhao Hao and said, "It was Director Zhao from Jiangnan Company who placed the order with you."
"Uh" Although Jiangnan Company is very loud in Suzhou, Yang Tiju, the shipyard in Jinling, has never heard of it.
"Thank you for the meal, sir. I am very grateful to you!" However, he still expressed his gratitude to Zhao Hao obediently.
"You're welcome, it's me who should thank you." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Because you will be very busy next time."
"Hehe, we are more afraid of being busy than being busy." This person's name was Yang Fan. He rubbed his hands and said with a smile on his face: "May I ask, sir, how many pieces do you want to order and how much material do you want?"
"Four hundred pieces, one thousand materials." Mr. Zhao reported the number and specifications.
"Four, four hundred items, one, a thousand materials?!" Yang Tiju's eyes widened and he stammered.
"Are you stuttering?" Wu Shilai glared at him.
"No, no, this is how the villain expresses his inner surprise." Yang Fan responded hurriedly, still full of shock.
¡°Don¡¯t worry about anything else, just ask if it¡¯s possible.¡± Wu Shilai said in a deep voice.
¡°It can be built, it can be built, it¡¯s great.¡± Yang Fan nodded excitedly and said, ¡°Our Bao Shipyard is where we build big ships. The bigger the ship, the greater our advantage.¡±
"Oh, what advantages do you have?" Mr. Zhao asked with a smile.
"Sir, our advantages are in all aspects." Yang Tiju boasted: "First of all, our Bao Shipyard has a history of more than 200 years, and all the warships of the Ming Dynasty were produced in this factory. Therefore, a ship made of a thousand materials is of no use to us. It¡¯s nothing to us.¡±
"Then, we have thirteen working ponds, each of which can build eight thousand-material boats at the same time. So if there are enough workers, we can build a hundred thousand-material boats at the same time!"
"Furthermore, our factory has 2,000 craftsmen who have been engaged in shipbuilding for generations. If necessary, we can recruit another 2,000 people from their families. With 4,000 craftsmen working together, it is said that we can build at least 200 ships a year. Thousands of materials ship!" Yang Tiju spat.
"Oh?" Wu Shilai looked at Yang Tiju in surprise. He thought that Bao Shipyard could build up to 180 ships a year, which would be enough to fill the sky.
"Do you dare to issue a military order?"
"This" Yang Tiju immediately choked like a duck being pinched by the neck. "The villain is talking about recruiting two thousand more craftsmen."
"Just recruit, our company will give you enough money." Mr. Zhao said calmly.
"Thenthe new craftsmen have to be led by their master. In the first year, one hundred and fifty ships should be fine." Once the military order was about to be issued, Yang Tiju became cautious.
"One hundred and eighty ships." Wu Shilai said solemnly: "If you can't build it, then don't do it."
"Hey, this little guy is capable, he can do it." Yang Tiju wiped his sweat and gritted his teeth in agreement.
"How much does it cost to build a ship?" Mr. Zhao then asked the price.
"There are two types of ship prices. One is contracting work and materials. Each ship with a thousand materials costs 600 taels of silver." Yang Tiju replied cautiously:
"Other shipyards are at least fifty taels more expensive. Because our Bao Shipyard has a lacquer garden, a tung garden and a palm garden that lasted for two hundred years in Zhongshan, with tens of thousands of trees planted, and there has been very little loss over the years, so the tung oil, There is no need to purchase these auxiliary materials from Brown Cable, which can save a lot of money.¡±
Zhao Hao naturally knew the price before coming here. There are seven or eight yards in the Ming Dynasty that can build thousands of materials to cover ocean ships. The largest factory in Qingjiang quotes a thousand taels Of course, that is because they can't even build watercrafts. If they don't give enough money, of course they won't take up working hours. .
The quotations from Suzhou Shipyard and Hangzhou Guan Shipyard in Taicang are both 800 taels.
Of course, these are all quotations for a single ship. If hundreds of ships are ordered, there will definitely be a discount. But if you want to get it as low as six hundred taels, I'm afraid it's impossible.
"Is there another one?" Zhao Hao asked calmly.
"The other is to only contract the work but not the materials, so each ship costs two hundred taels of silver." Yang Tiju gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, your company will have to transport the required wood yourself."
"Hmm." Mr. Zhao nodded noncommittally and asked, "Which method does your yard prefer?"
"This half and half." Yang Tiju hesitated: "Of course we hope to contract the work and materials, so that we can make more money. But there are 180 ships a year, which requires too much wood. The shipyard alone The pressure of preparing materials is too great"
"There are so many pine, fir, and nan trees on Ma'an Mountain outside. Are they not enough to build 180 ships?" Wu Shilai said in disbelief: "Those were the ones who were preparing to build treasure ships back then. They have been growing for more than a hundred years. Bar??¡±
"Most of the capital has been stolen" Yang Tiju wiped his sweat and said, "We still have to keep some for the imperial court, right?"
"Huh." Wu Shilai was not easy to fool, and sneered: "I think most of them were sold privately by you!"
¡°Sometimes when I really can¡¯t get rid of the pot, I will cut some to save the situation¡± Yang Fan whispered.
"What does the famous Longjiang Coffin Shop in Jinling have to do with you?" Wu Shilai asked again.
"Yes, Tiju's side job" Yang Tiju wanted to shrink into the cracks in the ground.
"Okay, give me hundreds of years of shipping materials to make a coffin!" Wu Shilai was so angry that he kicked him in the butt.
"Zhongcheng, please calm down. The shipyard has no income, and thousands of craftsmen cannot go to the northwest." Yang Tiju cowered on the ground.
"Hmph! You're lucky. Mr. Zhao is still waiting to build a ship, so I'll leave you to plead guilty and perform meritorious service for the time being!" Wu Shilai actually didn't really want to mess with him, he just wanted to deal with these lazy officials and officials, making them more virtuous than fearful of power. .
"Thank you, Zhongcheng, for your kindness!" Yang Tiju hurriedly kowtowed, and expressed his position to Zhao Hao: "Young Master Zhao, don't worry, I will go all out to build your company's ship as quickly as possible!"
"Quality is more important than speed." Zhao Hao said calmly: "Someone will come to discuss the specific contract with you in two days, but I will give you a warranty deposit of two hundred taels per ship in addition to the ship price."
"Warranty deposit?" Yang Tiju looked at Mr. Zhao in confusion.
"But this money will not be given to you right away." Zhao Hao said solemnly: "But I will give you fifty taels every year, so if you want to get the full warranty money, you must at least guarantee that there will be no problems for four years! "
According to the experience introduced to him by Elder Ma of the Shachuan Gang, quality problems of seagoing ships will be exposed one after another two years before they are launched.
As long as there are no problems in the first two years, basically there will be no more problems. Mr. Zhao was cautious and added another two years of warranty to the shipyard.
"Ah, that's it" Yang Tiju was elated, looking at Zhao Hao like a good boy.
Building a boat can actually double the profit. This is really pie in the sky!
"Are you confident?!" Wu Shilai asked with eyes wide open.
"Yes, that's great!" Yang Tiju nodded quickly and said: "The ocean-protecting ships of our Longjiang Factory have thick boards, tight nails, and strict regulations. They can normally be used for thirty years. Even if they are used for shipping, Fifteen years is absolutely no problem¡ªso the villain has decided on the warranty!"
"That's the best." Mr. Zhao nodded slightly with satisfaction. If it was built every fifteen years, the financial pressure would be negligible.
