Chapter 123: Picking Up Scrap (Asking for Anything)
Is Da Liang rich?
The Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, which seems to be very rich and makes the entire Shangjiang aristocratic class blush, has 20% of the shares, and is the majority shareholder second only to the Marquis of Stanley, and even the Shangjiang royal family has been left behind by him. However, the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce has only begun the initial preparation stage, and it will not be effective to make money in a while.
The fishing grounds given by Joyce were also amazingly rich, but it was a long stream. Moreover, the situation has gradually spread out now, and the number of troops under his command has reached 2,000, and the weekly salary plus the development of the Black Fire Collar is estimated to be able to maintain the balance of income and expenditure of the entire territory.
In other words, Da Liang has a lot of shipbuilding drawings, but he has no money to build ships at all, what is this win-win? This is completely because Joyce took the credit of her brother and received the benefits of the military department, and she can still make a fortune from her brother in the future, even if she wins it herself.
And what does she mean by building ships at normal prices, is there anything abnormal?
Da Liang asked: "What does Lord Admiral mean when he said that he can build ships at the normal price in the Pudong Military Shipyard, does our Pudong Fleet still have two prices for foreign shipbuilding?" ”
"How can it be two prices...... It's three, let's take a dhow as an example, the military purchase price of our Pudong fleet is 1000 gold coins, the foreign trade price is 2000 gold coins, and if it is an adventurer who comes to me to order a ship, it is 3000 gold coins. This is still the price of a bare ship, plus sails, slurry, rigging, the maximum cost of a finished dhow is between 4,500 and 5,000 gold coins, if it is a dhow, it needs to be equipped with artillery, and the cost is at least 10,000 gold. Did you see those ship peripherals I gave you? Although all of them are lightly damaged, they can be repaired with only a small amount of money, and they are certainly not as good as new in terms of durability, but there is no difference in usability from new.
Now you know that I have done you nothing. You can build a bare ship at a low price at the shipyard of the Pudong fleet, and then equip those repaired peripherals on the ship, so that you can save 70% or more on the cost of a ship, and I can also make a little money on shipbuilding, and then clean up the obsolete inventory by the way. ”
Da Liang just heard half of it and contacted Xu Man directly: "Have your ten dhow battleships been built?" ”
"Not yet, the price given by the Pudong Fleet Shipyard is too expensive, ten sloops are purchased in groups, and the cost of a single all-inclusive ship is 10,000 gold. The main thing is that the artillery is too expensive, one will cost 600 gold, and a dhow needs to be equipped with ten, which is 6000 gold. Ten dhows cost 100,000 gold to build, and I'm looking for players who are friendly with the Pudong fleet to see if they can be cheaper. It's too expensive! This is still a sloop, I really don't know what the amazing price of those two-masted battleships and three-masted battleships is, building a navy is really not something that ordinary people can play. ”
High friendliness with the Pudong fleet.,Who has a brother in this game?,Brother is now bragging and chatting with the ultimate boss of the Pudong fleet.。 Xu Man, Xu Man, count yourself lucky today to meet a big guy like my brother.
"Give me your ten dhow blueprints, and then transfer me 70,000 gold coins, all ten ships are included, and I will help you build them."
Xu Man was taken aback: "It's really fake, I don't know how long I talked with the people from the Pudong Fleet Shipyard, and they were willing to build ten dhows for 100,000 gold coins." You opened your mouth and helped me have 30,000 left, did you drink too much last night and haven't woken up yet? ”
Da Liang said with a smile: "Have you ever seen anyone get drunk in the game, anyway, I have a way to discount shipbuilding, if you don't believe it, then forget it." ”
"No, I doubt anyone, and I can't doubt you. Wait a minute, the blueprints and gold will be sent to your mailbox. ”
With a dripping sound, Da Liang saw that there were indeed ten more sloop blueprints and 70,000 gold coins in his mailbox.
Sloop, total deadweight: 60
Max Weapons: 10
Steering force: 95
Propulsion: 85
Standard sailor: 20
Necessary sailors: 5
Maximum sailor: 40
With Joyce's order, Da Liang built these ten dhows in the Pudong Fleet Shipyard, one bare ship is 1,000 gold, ten are only 10,000 gold, and all other peripherals are refurbished, 100 guns are needed, and there are 100 lightly damaged guns on the list, and they are all refurbished for Xu Man.
In this way, how can you easily earn more than 50,000 gold coins. Hey...... It seems that the business of picking up rags is not bad......
Da Liang, who suddenly found that he was making money, looked at the long list and smiled, as if the words were piles of gold coins beckoning to him.
So Da Liang hurriedly asked Joyce: "My lord just said that the inventory was cleared?" It's rare that we have a lot of such lightly damaged ship peripherals and artillery in the warehouse of our Pudong fleet? ”
"There are many, the training intensity of the Pudong fleet is high, and every once in a while all the warships have to be overhauled, and all the damaged peripheral guns have to be replaced with new ones. Now every warship that has fought with Chongming Island has to be overhauled after returning to Hong Kong, and there are more supplies to be replaced, what do you ask about? ”
Da Liang hurriedly said: "I'll just ask." It's just that the adults also said that if these lightly damaged peripherals are repaired and the performance is the same as new, why doesn't our Pudong fleet refurbish and equip these things on our warships, which will definitely save a lot of money, right? ”
Joyce said solemnly: "The performance, peripherals, and guns of a battleship are the lives of sailors, and in a high-intensity war, the durability of equipment can affect the victory of a war." Especially in the naval battle against the Chongming fleet, a small difference in durability can make me lose a battle. Therefore, I demand that my battleship be in the best condition when it leaves the port, and that all damaged peripherals and guns are not allowed on board. ”
Da Liang took a step back with a shocked expression and saluted Joyce deeply: "Adults love soldiers like children, insight into the future, a small detail allows the humble position to see the strategic vision and personality charm of the adults that make people look up, no wonder the Pudong fleet is so mighty, the soldiers are so heroic, it turns out that all this comes from the delicate command and leading art of the adults." Listening to the words of the adults today, I was suddenly enlightened and enlightened, what my army lacked under the Black Fire Command was the strictness of the army's management and the hardships of training.
Alas...... It's just that my Black Fire Collar has limited funds, and I can't train the fleet with new ships and new guns like the Pudong fleet. But my heart to train a strong army is the same.
I don't know how many of these lightly damaged peripherals and artillery are still in our Pudong warehouse, can you sell them to me cheaply. I brought it back to train my army well, and I think that as long as it takes time, I will definitely train a tiger and wolf army for adults.
When the time comes, our Black Fire Fleet will be deployed overseas with your Excellency's Pudong Fleet, and within the range of the artillery, the enemy chief will be terrified. ”
