|->Chapter 954: Buying a ship spread and setting off. Sun Sanqiang came here to buy a ship. He had been in charge of the cold iron ore in the Yueying Kingdom before, and was closest to here. [ads: This site has changed its website, shorthand method: Strawberry,] Now the people led by Xingchen cannot be transferred, so Jiang Xingchen called him in a letter. As soon as he arrived here, he immediately released the news that he wanted to buy a seven-layer treasure ship, which caused a lot of sensation!
People are all very strange. Who actually came here to buy a seven-story treasure ship. Minggang City is the sea-to-shore port of the Dachen Kingdom, similar to Linhai City of the Dali Kingdom. There are also many commercial banks that rely on the sea to make a living here. The maritime trade is quite prosperous, but not many people actually own seven-story treasure ships. Only a few major commercial banks have worked hard to get it from overseas. They all treat them as treasures, so how can they be sold?
As expected, after the news of Sun Sanqiang was released, no one came to talk about it. As people expected, the seven-layer treasure ship was the foundation of the business. Unless they didn’t want to do overseas trade, who would sell it?
"A typical person is stupid and has a lot of money, and he actually comes here to buy a boat... Do you know where it comes from?"
"Listen to them, it seems to be the accent of the Qiankun Empire!"
"The Qiankun Empire, no wonder they have never had brains..." As people laughed, this matter gradually faded.
But who knew that on the fourth day after the news was released, Ocean Shipping suddenly announced that it would sell three seven-story treasure ships.
After this news, the entire Minggang City was really shocked. Almost everyone was talking about it and was puzzled.
Ocean Shopping Store was originally just a small business, and it was inconspicuous in Minggang City. But last year, they shocked the entire Minggang City. Such a small business actually got five seven-story treasure ships.
After that, Oceanwide Commercial Banks emerged and a large amount of trade brought a lot of revenue. They also became several major commercial banks in Minggang City.
Now is the most prosperous time for Oceanwide Trading. They are going to sell the seven-story treasure ship. Isn’t this full and full, and don’t want to do overseas trade in the future?
"What do you think about Oceanwide Trading? When it's the most popular, you have to sell ships?"
"Who knows this? I guess the boss's brain is in trouble!"
"Maybe I really don't want to do it anymore. Although overseas trade has high returns, it is also very risky! The ocean has made a lot of money this year, so it's normal to stop! Besides, I sold the seven-layer treasure ship. But it's another big income!"
"I don't think it's possible. If you just sell all five of them, it's so easy to save money. Why are there two left?"
"Yes, why don't they sell them all..."
People speculated that several other businesses that ran the ocean trade were very happy. The ocean brought them too much pressure this year. The huge transportation volume of five seven-layer treasure ships attracted a large number of merchants to transport goods, and their merchants were also stolen. Now Ocean sells three seven-layer treasure ships at once, and the transportation volume has been reduced by half. How could they be unhappy?
At this time, Manager Wei of Ocean Shopping Store was also frowning and confused! He couldn't understand why his family actually asked him to sell the boat to the other party when he heard the news!
"If I had known, I wouldn't have written to the Empire, if the young master didn't know, I wouldn't have asked me to sell the boat... What a great development opportunity! I'm afraid I'll stagnate in the future..."
Manager Wei shook his head and sighed. But he had to listen to the instructions from his family, so he had to endure the pain and signed the name on the purchase agreement.
In fact, Sun Sanqiang himself was also very strange. According to Jiang Xingchen, he just had to wait slowly. At that time, the Kingdom of Dachen would definitely send someone to contact you, so naturally someone would sell us the seven-story treasure ship.
But before he could wait for the people from the Dachen Kingdom, he came to Manager Wei of the Ocean Shopping Store.
No matter what, the news has been released, and there is no reason why people don’t buy it when they come to sell the boat, otherwise anyone can see that you have ulterior motives.
He first wrote a letter to Jiang Xingchen to explain the situation. He signed the agreement at the urging of Manager Wei, paid the money, and then accepted three seven-story treasure ships...
Shortly after Sun Sanqiang bought the seven-layer treasure ship, the main city of the Dachen Kingdom. Emperor Chen in the palace was so angry that he threw his cups and shouted: "Who asked them to sell the seven-layer treasure ship privately?"
After hearing the news, he immediately sent someone to Minggang City to contact Sun Sanqiang. After the messenger was brought back from Xingchen, he was frightened.
It would be fine if Jiang Xingchen was furious, but the other party was kind and looked calm and gentle. This was definitely not a good thing, and he might be cruel to himself at any time.
This time, when he heard that Jiang Xingchen was going to buy a boat, he felt that the opportunity had come. He immediately sent someone to Minggang City to prepare to contact Sun Sanqiang on the one hand and express his willingness to help. On the other hand, he asked the city lord to warn several shops with seven-story treasure ships that they could not sell if they were bitten to death. This way, the value of his help was reflected.
But he never expected that the ocean-going business was so fast that the people he sent had signed an agreement to sell the ship before he could arrive at Minggang.
"Ocean Trading Company, I'm bad! Wait for me, I won't deal with you to death..." Emperor Chen was so angry that he really hated the Ocean Trading Company to his core.
At the same time, in the Fang family courtyard of the Qiankun Emperor Capital, Fang Wuyou took the letter from Manager Wei and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"They actually have to go out to sea. Haha, of course I want to help you... Jiang Xingchen, it should be enough for you to call the wind and rain during this period!"
Fang Wuyou murmured in a low voice, he was worried about this period. The eight kingdoms were defeated and Jiang Xingchen returned. In the end, even the eldest prince ran away. One news after another made him breathless.
It was not until he received a letter from Manager Wei from Minggang City that he smiled for the first time. Jiang Xingchen, you, will continue to fight overseas in the future! That's why he instructed Manager Wei to sell three seven-story treasure ships and spread the news overseas...
And in the curse land, Jiang Xingchen also received a letter from Sun Sanqiang.
"Haha, this ocean-going business is a bit interesting..." Jiang Xingchen laughed and shook his head and said, "The life of Emperor Chen is really bad. I will give you a chance to intercept me!"
After putting down the letter, Jiang Xingchen immediately called the young master of the Mu family and told him that the seven-story treasure ship had set off from Dachenming Port City and was sailing here, asking him to speed up the construction of the three-story treasure ship, and must build five to eight ships within half a month.
Now thousands of people in the Mu family are rushing to work in the shipyard, and the shipbuilding is already in progress. The young master of the Mu family estimated that, nodded and rushed back to work.
After the young master of the Mu family left, Jiang Xingchen called Wang Tong again, and he was the sailor who prepared. He could mobilize at most 100 private soldiers to him this time.
Wang Tong had been impatient, nodded and turned around and left, notifying the family's children with the news, and at the same time wrote a letter to Wang Lun at home, recruiting sailors with a lot of money.
After Jiang Xingchen made an arrangement, he called Han Xiaowu and asked him to summon craftsmen! The main purpose of this trip to sea was rubber, and more wooden barrels must be prepared.
In addition, he also had to make a considerable number of grenades! As for the crossbow, he was not brought with him for the time being, and that thing was not useful when he brought to the sea.
After Han Xiaowu left, Jiang Xingchen ordered people to prepare all kinds of supplies needed for the long voyage... After everything was done, he wrote a letter to Xingchen, and transferred a hundred private soldiers to carry new crossbows and steel balls...
Once he became busy, time passed quickly, and half a month passed without realizing it. Thousands of people from the shipyard worked day and night, and finally built eight three-layer treasure ships. The craftsmen also completed the production of three thousand wooden barrels.
The 100 private soldiers led by Xingchen rushed to the whip and arrived yesterday. The ribs also flew over. The three seven-story treasure ships set out from Minggang City had arrived in Linhai City. The Wang family and a few sailors boarded the ship and officially took over the three ships from the Ocean Shipping Store.
It can be said that everything is ready now. Just wait for the seven-story treasure ship to reach the sea outside the Curse Land, and the fleet can set off...
Just as Jiang Xingchen was preparing in full swing, Wang Sun also received news from Minggang City on the Sizhou Island overseas.
"Jiang Xingchen sent someone to buy three seven-layer treasure ships... Is the news accurate?" Wang Sun asked excitedly.
"Absolutely accurate, thousands of people saw three seven-story treasure ships sailing to Linhai City!" said the person who passed the message.
"Okay!" Wang Sun slapped the chair hard and laughed. In the battle of the Southern Wilderness, his two-year hard work was destroyed, and the phosphate mine was also occupied by Fu Teng. When he mentioned Jiang Xingchen, he was so angry that his teeth were about to be broken.
"They are probably going to Liuju Tree Island again... Hehe, when they reach the ocean, it's my territory! I have to make up for it this time!"
"Son of the King, don't be careless! Jiang Xingchen has a crossbow that can strike a thousand meters!" Yan He hesitated for a long time before he persuaded.
"I know!" Wang Sun waved his hand and sneered: "Jiang Xingchen may be so confident that he ran away so hard... However, his crossbow cannon may not be used when he reaches the sea! It's not on land, so it's not that easy to aim! In other words, they will lose the advantage of distance! We also have crossbows and have also obtained grenade technology... This time, he will definitely be unable to come and go!"
"That's right, our crossbows have a range of 600 meters for a bow and arrow! And we also have some spontaneous fuel, so it's okay to use grenades!" The speaker was Zhang Guest.
Yan He lowered his head and continued, "Prince Sun, I think it's better to be careful. It's better to let Heilang try it first. Anyway, Jiang Xingchen probably won't come, so why bother to stand up in person!"
"Yes! Yes!" Wang Sun was very happy after hearing this, patted Yan He on the shoulder and said, "Write a letter to Heilang and let them go first!"
After saying that, Wang Sun was going out, but after a moment of pause, he stopped and said, "I have to tell Chongming Island that if Jiang Xingchen is not here, that old guy Tang Tian must be here and cannot be let go!"
"Yes!" After hearing this, Yan He hurriedly owed his upper body, shook his wheelchair and came to the table, picked up the paper and pen to start writing...
Three more days later, the three seven-story treasure ships arrived outside the sea of the Curse Land. The old man and the others were ready, and boarded the three-story treasure ship that had just started the water and entered the sea from the river! (To be continued.) xh118
