Chapter 819: The Eye-Openings of the Heavenly People

Eat one's heart out...... Jealousy to the point of twisting!

Boss Zhuang's eyes turned horribly bloody, blazing light, and he looked directly at Wang Xing, as if he was going to burn this damn old thing...... Originally, this opportunity was his, and the prefect of Ying Tian personally talked to him, such good conditions, if he was next, he could do whatever he wanted.

With such a big project in hand, so much money, and so many people, even if one person squeezes out one or two pieces of silver, it will exceed the accumulation of several lifetimes of their family!

I was really wrong, very wrong......

Since you have already been wrong once, you can't be wrong a second time.

"Elder Wang, this carriage is indeed a good thing, I see that you can't eat it alone, invite all the big guys, it must be built at the expense."

Boss Zhuang said loudly: "In a word, how much price are you going to pay!" ”

Wang Xing followed the voice, saw Boss Zhuang, and sneered slightly.

Silly boy, this can't hold your breath, you, if you cultivate, you are a conservative goods, and you don't understand what industrialization is at all!

Wang Xing sneered in his heart, during this time, he observed the operation of Yingtian's various yamen, combined with previous experience, compared with each other, Wang Xing has gradually found the law.

In the past, let's do business, take textile as an example, first of all, there must be a loom workshop, then buy silk, weave it into silk, sell it for money, and then repeat it......

But building a railway is different, the first thing is that the investment is huge, and the project is long, and there are many implications, if you are not careful, let alone make money, you may even lose your pants.

If business was once a horse-drawn carriage, now business is a train...... Things get complicated, and there is a huge difference in the distribution of profits.

It's like a pig or a sheep, and the meat on their bodies is very different, and the price is different.

As a mature old fox, Wang Xing certainly wants to earn the fattest piece!

"Hahaha, Boss Zhuang, I have long heard that your family is a leader in the Yingtian silk industry and a well-known businessman...... Compared with the transportation of materials, there is an extraordinary need, and it is reasonable to build a rail carriage! ”

Boss Zhuang parted the crowd, stepped in front of Wang Xing, and bowed.

"Old-timer, you are very courageous and very powerful, and you are ashamed of yourself in your later years...... However, the late student missed an opportunity and was unwilling to miss the second time. As long as the old gentleman allows it, the late student is willing to participate in the shares, and you can make an offer! ”

Wang Xing looked at him seriously, then shook his head with a laugh, "Boss Zhuang, you are wrong!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Boss Zhuang's face immediately darkened.

The old thing is really greedy, and he wants to swallow it in one bite and not give up a little?

Seeing that the boss of Zhuang changed color, Wang Xing smiled.

"In order to build roads, the old man is already struggling to continue...... Compared to the train, this railcar can only be regarded as a pre-product, a gadget. The old man won't do it himself. I want to share it with the big guys, and you are responsible for the construction for the benefit of the Yingtian folks......"

……

Zhu Gaosui held his chin, his eyes rolled, suddenly, he thought of a possibility, and suddenly became angry, "Master, this old ......"

He wanted to go on, but Liu Chun hurriedly waved his hand and stopped Zhu Gaosui.

"Let Mr. Wang talk to you, this rail carriage is indeed a good project, and it has great value for improving transportation in big cities, and I am very optimistic."

Liu Chun's words were equivalent to a final word, Wang Xing was even more proud, and Yingtian's businessmen were also reassured, and they all got together and worked hard to discuss how to build.

As for Liu Chun, Xia Yuanji and others, they resigned in advance.

On the way back, Zhu Gaosui snorted angrily: "Master, this old man definitely plans to hand over the hard work of building the track to others, and then he will sit back and enjoy it!" Sure enough, it's a profiteer, a full profiteer! I thought he was a real Confucian student! Looking at it now, it's bullshit! ”

Liu Chun chuckled, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Gaosui opened it and took a look, it turned out to be sent by Lan Yu.

Wang Xing is this person, Lan Yu has the most right to speak.

In the letter, Lan Yu only mentioned one thing, that is, Wang Xing suggested that Lan Yu should actively cultivate forces, assist the crown prince Zhu Biao, and stabilize the position of the prince......

"No wonder this old thing has been dormant for so many years, and he is afraid to mention the old things!"

Zhu Gaosui shouted: "In this way, Wang Xing must be ambitious, and he also has quite a means, master, why is the disciple a little worried." ”

Liu Chun smiled dumbly, "I have a lot of talents, and there is never a shortage of capable people." Most of this Wang Xing also has the heart of a black-clothed prime minister! ”

Zhu Gaosui thought so.

Throughout the ages, there have been many people who have such thoughts, but it seems that the only successful example is the old thief Bald Daoyan...... Wang Xing, as a literati, joined the army and followed Lan Yu, in addition to wanting to make meritorious contributions, he also wanted to use the road of Lan Yu to pick up the crown prince Zhu Biao, so as to embark on a shortcut to the south.

It's a pity that this road is not for anyone to walk, and the old guy has not succeeded in his career and has to lie dormant for a decade or two. Seeing that his hair was gray, he came out again.

For such a person, it is not surprising that he has done anything.

Ying Tian's businessman really can't play with him, so it's not surprising that he can play around.

Sure enough, three days later, Wang Xing came to Chang Governor's Mansion with the information, and then met Liu Chun together.

"Lord Taifu, the old man has already discussed with the eight big merchants of Yingtian, and they will come forward to requisition the land, provide funds, and build a rail carriage. Lao Yu transferred a part of the railway talents to help with the construction. Please rest assured that the construction of the railway will not be delayed, and the construction of the railway can be funded through the project of the rail carriage, killing two birds with one stone! ”

Liu Chun took his plan and smiled slightly, "Wang Xing, I have been in Yingtian for many years, what is the road in Yingtian, and where to build the railroad carriage, I know in my heart." ”

Hearing Liu Chun say this, Wang Xing's face changed slightly, "Taifu, what do you mean...... The old decay must be repaired according to the requirements of the Taifu. ”

Liu Chun shook his head, "Let the Yamen survey the route, and after the Yamen requisitions the land, it will be transferred to the merchant to build it...... As for the equipment needed to build the road, the technical standards are provided by the Royal Society for Scientific Research. ”

Wang Xing's old face changed color, why does it have nothing to do with him?

What's going on?

It took a lot of effort for him to master the standards and the technical equipment...... How did Liu Chun see through it?

Seeing that Wang Xing was stupid, Liu Chun took out a document as if he was playing a trick and handed it to Wang Xing.

"See for yourself!"

Wang Xing took it, trembled and flipped it open, and suddenly his eyes went black, and he lay directly on the ground!

"Taifu spares his life, Taifu spares his life!"

Liu Chun smiled faintly, "Those who don't know are not guilty, and you don't know, how can I punish you!" And you took the initiative to bring it up, it's really rare, I will entrust you with the business operation part, as for the profit...... You divide it into three, and that's it, and don't say anything else. ”

Wang Xing nodded again and again, wiped his sweat, and ran away.

When he left Liufu, he sighed, not to mention that he could get thirty percent, even if he didn't have a penny, he had to work hard...... I have to say that meeting such a shrewd character as Liu Chun is simply the sorrow of a businessman!

Liu Chun showed Wang Xing an official document from five years ago, when Zhu Di had just ascended the throne...... Horse-drawn railcars were first used in mines.

Mining in the mountains, using the slope of the mountain, after building a track, the mine cart can go directly down to the bottom of the mountain...... On the way back, you have to go uphill, so you need to pull a horse, which is the prototype of the railroad carriage.

When Liu Chun learned about it, he immediately ordered and applied for a patent with the imperial court. As early as the Hongwu Dynasty, Liu Chun rewarded workers who developed specialized technologies.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, this set was successfully promoted throughout the country...... It's a pity that at the beginning of the birth of the patent, only a handful passed it in one year.

When Zhu Gaoxu was building the railway, he also used rail-drawn carriages in order to transport earthwork materials. It's a pity that this kid's heart is too real, he is dedicated to building railways, where do he realize that the rail carriage is also valuable.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't have this awareness, but Wang Xing did, don't look at the rail carriage is not as valuable as the train...... However, the construction period is short, the return on investment is fast, and the profit should not be underestimated.

The most important thing is the empty glove white wolf, he doesn't have to pay anything, he makes a lot of money, is there anything cheaper?

It's just that no matter how good this old man's calculations are, it was in vain to meet Liu Chun.

Don't look at Liu Chun didn't pursue anything, and generously gave him 30% of the profit, but Wang Xing himself also understood that if the surnamed Liu was willing, he could be punished at any time for stealing court property.

You must know that the patent for this rail carriage is in the hands of the mine in Beiping, and behind this mine is Zhu Di's investment, and at that time it was His Royal Highness King Yan!

How dark is Zhu Di, can Wang Xing know?

Dare to touch Zhu Laosi's money, do you want to be exterminated by the Nine Clans?

Don't say anything, let's get to work!

Wang Xing left in a gloomy manner, not daring to think about it anymore...... Land acquisition, construction, busy...... The people of Yingtian finally opened their eyes.

This is probably the biggest project except for Zhu Yuanzhang's construction of the capital back then.

From the Banshan Temple Railway Station outside Chaoyang Gate, to East Chang'an Avenue, and then stretch forward again to Taipingli, the financial center...... Tens of thousands of Japanese laborers, before dawn, got up to work until midnight.

Sometimes, when you encounter a rainy day, or dig up groundwater, you have to stand in the cold muddy water to work, and it makes people's scalps tingle just thinking about it.

Wang Xing, Boss Zhuang, and other investment businessmen, are simply more ruthless than the other, and hate to have to sleep, skip meals, and work all the time!

Three months later, the carriage line was finally repaired.

The wide and majestic carriage and comfortable mahogany seats instantly attracted everyone's attention...... Wang Xing and Boss Zhuang both laughed, "Let those people who stand and talk without backache continue to scold!" Let's invite Taifu and His Royal Highness King Zhao to parade through Yingtian together! ”

Wang Xing was laughing when someone suddenly came to his ear, "Old man, His Royal Highness the King of Han is also here!" ”

"King Han?"

Wang Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, this is great, go and see, what good things can Zhu Gaoxu, don't let people take the lead......
