Chapter Forty-Eight: Strong, Capricious
Mu Mingchen looked directly at Zhang Hao, he was really a little surprised that this young man was so single-handed.
"Xiao Hao, our family's shipbuilding workshop has good profitability for the time being. So, not ready for sale. ”
Zhang Hao shook his head: "Since Uncle Mu said that it is profitable, then the little nephew has a little immature suggestion."
If Uncle Mu sells the shipyard, he will immediately reap the benefits for the next ten years, or more.
It is a good choice to use this wealth to expand the family and increase the family's armed forces.
As far as the little nephew knows, the profitability of shipbuilding workshops, in recent years, seems to be less than ideal.
The little nephew heard that it is better to build a ship than to drive a ship. ”
"I have probably investigated and found that even the smallest shipbuilding workshop requires more than 200 people to work on an area of 100 acres, and it takes two years for a ship to be logged, dried in the shade, broken into boards, and finally formed.
The cost is huge, the output is very low, and the competition is fierce.
In contrast, it is better to sell it and exchange it for wealth to do something else.
What does Uncle Zheng think?"
Zheng Changqiu held the teacup and said quietly: "Good tea." You talk about yours, leave me alone. ”
Mu Yingying was slightly dissatisfied: "Brother Shi, how can there be someone like you, who wants to buy someone else's family just after we met." ”
Zhang Hao smiled slightly: "Time waits for no one." The army of the country's eastern crusade, which is said to be as many as one million, has partially entered the country of Jinyang in the east, and the armies of the western countries have also begun to converge.
The big war is coming, and I am also thinking about everyone.
If you can recoup the benefits of the next ten years in one go now, you can use this wealth to buy pills and other cultivation resources......
Uncle Mu, do you think it's worth it?"
Mu Mingchen didn't speak, he held the teacup, sipped it quietly, and fell into deep thought.
The last crusade was about sixty years ago. The Eastern Crusade ended in a crushing defeat, with a million-strong army crushed and sunk into the sand, and the Eastern countries launched a retaliatory monopoly, causing the prices of pills in the Western countries to soar several times in just half a year.
The impact has continued...... Until now!
Compared with the Western countries, the East does not need to send troops at all, and as long as people toss the trade routes, they can knock the Western countries into the bone little by little.
Mu Mingchen sighed leisurely, "Do you think that the virtuous nephew still can't defeat us?"
Zhang Hao smiled and didn't say no. To discuss the defeat of the war now is to ask for trouble.
However, Zhang Hao's attitude, Mu Mingchen 'understood' - I don't talk about victory, the rest is only defeat.
Mu Mingchen put down the teacup and looked at Zhang Hao: "Virtuous nephew, in this situation, it is indeed beneficial for us to sell shipbuilding workshops, etc. But why did the Zhang family buy it?"
"We have money. Zhang Hao's teeth were snow-white.
Rich, capricious!
Zheng Changqiu, who was next to "poof......", squirted out a mouthful of tea.
Mu Yingying's eyes widened, and she looked at Zhang Hao in disbelief. What is the answer to this?
Zhang Hao's face became serious: "Uncle Mu, we think so.
Zhangjia's current monthly output of dark iron, especially the output of 90% pure black iron, is almost several times that of the whole country.
It is impossible for these dark irons to be sold completely! Therefore, the Zhang family will give a promise of 500 tons per month when the princess is raising donations.
But on the other hand, Uncle Mu and other families urgently need Xuantie to arm the family, and if something happens, we can also take precautions.
If the Zhang family goes all out to smelt the dark iron, and Uncle Mu and the other families go all out to build the magic weapon, we can work together to build a strong and large rear.
What does Uncle Mu think?"
"Makes sense! If that's all there is to it, I agree with that. But...... You still haven't said, why does the Zhang family want a shipbuilding workshop?"
"You have to recoup a little bit of the cost. Or is Uncle Mu willing to sell other properties, or can he use other wealth to buy a large amount of Xuantie?"
Mu Mingchen frowned slightly, he knew that Zhang Hao was not telling the truth, but these were enough to move his heart. "Then I'll think about it first. ”
"Uncle Mu is going to hurry. For the time being, the Zhang family has already booked 800 tons of dark iron output, all of which are 93% pure dark iron, which can be used to create medium-grade magic weapons!"
Mu Mingchen was still thinking.
Mu Yingying suddenly spoke: "500 tons of 95% pure black iron, the Mu family's shipbuilding workshop, including all the craftsmen, technology, and materials, are all yours!"
Zhang Hao looked at the girl who suddenly broke out in surprise. At this time, Mu Yingying's face seemed to be a little less childish and more decisive.
"Yingying ......" Mu Mingchen was extremely surprised.
Mu Yingying shook her head: "Third uncle, the shipbuilding workshop is now in charge of me, and I have the right to speak." ”
After a pause, Mu Yingying said to Zhang Hao: "Brother Shi, the Mu family's shipbuilding workshop covers an area of 300 acres and has a total of 533 craftsmen. It has more than 30 top craftsmen. There are more than 3,000 craftsmen and their families.
The Mujia shipbuilding workshop has a history of more than 100 years and has a strong accumulation, which can build buildings up to 50 zhang long.
In the entire Anling County, the Mu family's shipbuilding workshop is one of the best. ”
"Wooden boat?" Zhang Hao thought for a while and asked, "Have you ever built a 'treasure ship', such as a treasure ship made of 'Snow Mountain Spirit Sandalwood'?"
The names of the snow-capped mountain spirit sandalwood and treasure ship were still known by Zhang Hao from the princess.
Mu Yingying did not hesitate: "We have the experience of making ordinary treasure ships with ordinary spirit bamboo, spirit pine, etc. Such a treasure ship can sail smoothly on rivers and lakes in a storm!"
"Okay, deal!" Zhang Hao agreed.
Next to him, Mu Mingchen and Zheng Changqiu looked at each other.
Old, these two young people have reached such a huge deal between their mouths.
According to the current market price, the market price of 500 tons of 95% Xuantie is no less than 600,000 high-grade spirit stones. However, the Mu family's century-old shipbuilding workshop is also worth the price.
Then, Zhang Hao and Mu Yingying swore to each other to ensure that there was no falsehood.
Then, Mu Mingchen got up, "Lao Zheng, I'm leaving." The task of purchasing dark iron seems to have been completed. ”
Zheng Changqiu: ......
Seeing Mu Mingchen, Mu Yingying and Zhang Shengde say goodbye and leave, Zheng Changqiu couldn't sit still. What Zhang Hao said just now also made Zheng Changqiu's heart move.
"Virtuous nephew, what else are you buying besides the shipbuilding workshop?"
"We all need workshops and trading houses for refining magic weapons. Moreover, the price is favorable. But Uncle Zheng has to hurry up, he just promised another 500 tons of high-purity dark iron, and this is half a month.
Now, this time waits for no one. ”
Zheng Changqiu took a deep breath, "On behalf of the Zheng family, I sell a small magic weapon workshop. There are 150 people in total, plus about 700 people including family members. The workshop includes 5 people in the foundation building period, which can create a general medium-grade magic weapon.
The shape of the magic weapon, including swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows, crossbows, armor, etc., is very comprehensive.
This workshop has 30 years of experience, and the experience is very rich, and all the materials are included.
Altogether...... 800 tons of 95% black iron. ”
Zhang Hao shook his head: "Uncle Zheng, you are not real." Such magic weapon workshops are not said to be everywhere, but ordinary small business houses have such capabilities. And we only need 100 tons of 93% black iron to acquire such a small commercial bank. ”
Zheng Changqiu suddenly frowned: "The asking price of the Mu family's shipbuilding workshop is obviously not worth it!"
"Because, it was Mu Yingying who spoke, a very beautiful girl. Uncle Zheng, what do you think?"
Zheng Changqiu spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
The old man hates the gentleman the most!
No, wait, Mu Mingchen specially brought Mu Yingying over this time, these two will not be preparing~~~
Let's be embarrassed!
