As a treat for the Dragon Boat Festival, Ma Hanshan just wanted to let the wealthy merchants in Lin'an know that such a micro-city was going to be built here, which could be regarded as a preparation for the future investment conference. Unexpectedly, the shipping king Zhu Dongyu and another
The owner of the inn actually said on the spot that he wanted to buy land and build a house, and several other merchants said that they would definitely move in when the CBD is completed.
Although he has not found the owner of the investment workshop to settle in, Ma Hanshan feels that the results are already very good. After all, for people of this era, his so-called special zone is still on the canvas. This is the first time for everyone to hear it, and it is not at all
Knowing what it is, only God knows whether it can be as successful as he described.
Another unexpected gain is that Zhang Zi and Zhu Dongyu actually agreed to Ma Hanshan's proposal, and the three jointly formed a water and land transport company. After the company is established, it will undertake domestic and foreign water and land freight and passenger transportation. There is no doubt that this company will be operated by large landowners and sea traders.
This intermodal transportation company jointly established by Zhang Zi, the first person, Zhu Dongyu, the national shipping king, and Ma Hanshan, a new wealthy man from Dasong who represents the most modern and advanced technology, will be Dasong... no, the largest transportation company on this continent.
.
Although this company will definitely make money, Ma Hanshan's main motivation for investing in this company is not to make money, but to make strategic preparations. Whether it is the transformation of Dasong or building Wagang Village into the strongest paradise, transportation is the top priority
.
The banquet was unexpectedly fruitful. Ma Hanshan drank a little too much. After falling on the bed at night, he slept until midnight the next day. He even missed seeing Meng Lianggon off. He was so angry that he cursed Shen Hua and Su Ying.
Wait for someone.
Shen Hua retorted unceremoniously, saying that he drank too much, slept like a pig, and couldn't even wake up when he screamed, so why should he blame others?
Su Ying didn't say a word, but smiled in response, as if she wasn't the one scolding her. When Ma Hanshan saw her like this, he immediately transferred his firepower.
"Why are you laughing? Brother Meng is my sworn brother. What would he be thinking when he went to work in such a far away place and I didn't go to see him off? It's really unreasonable. Huahua is a little girl. She's not sensible. She can't wake up on her own.
You...are you still young? With a manager like you? You can't handle anything like this..." Ma Hanshan bared his teeth and cursed at Su Ying.
"You are not my master, and I am not your servant. The most you can do is count me as my boss... Boss, hurry up and wash up, otherwise you won't be able to go out at noon." Su Ying still smiled, not angry at all.
"Traveling? Where are you going? Where are you driving me to before I even have breakfast?" I drank too much last night, and Ma Hanshan was a little distracted. I even forgot to go to Mingzhou today.
He had long wanted to take back the half of the shipyard that Bi Jiyu gave him, but he had never been able to find the time. He made up his mind to go there after the Dragon Boat Festival two days ago. He was still nagging about this matter yesterday, and now
He actually forgot.
"Boss Ma's family decided a few days ago to go to Mingzhou." Su Ying said, putting away her smile.
"Mingzhou? Oh... Go to Mingzhou, right... You knew you were going to Mingzhou to see Brother Meng off, but you didn't wake me up... You... you must have done it on purpose..." Ma Hanshan cursed and went to wash up. Su
Sakura ignored him. Although she had not been in An Garden for a long time, she knew very well that this bastard would always find trouble and scold others, so she could just ignore him.
Shen Hua and Su Ying had opposite ways of dealing with it. Every time Ma Hanshan found trouble and scolded someone, she would push back without leaving any gaps.
In the middle of the day, Ma Hanshan finally went out. Su Ying asked him to take a carriage, but he refused to sit even to death. The carriage was bumpier than riding a horse, and his bones would fall apart after such a long journey.
Every time Su Ying asked him to ride in a carriage, he hoped that the four-wheeled carriage in Wagonzhai would be put into use as soon as possible.
In fact, the four-wheeled carriages of Wagangzhai have been put into use for a long time. Now when transporting oil to Snake Valley and delivering goods to Wanhe Township Pier, they have been replaced by four-wheeled carriages made by Wagangzhai.
It's just that because the issue of earthquake preparedness has always been unsatisfactory, Ma Hanshan was unwilling to get it to Lin'an for use.
Moreover, mass production is not yet possible, so he cannot let this carriage be exposed so soon. Otherwise, if others want to order it but he cannot build it himself, and he will not be able to make money in vain, he will be very sad to death.
It is more than 300 miles from Lin'an to Mingzhou. If we set out early in the morning and drive horses quickly, we can arrive in the same day without going into darkness. But now it is almost noon when Mahanshan and the others set out, unless they are riding famous horses and they are riding horses non-stop. If you rush, you should be able to arrive in five or six hours, which means you have to arrive after dark.
In the current situation, they could only stop at Yuezhou Prefecture for one night and then rush to Mingzhou the next day.
Thinking of spending the night on the way, Ma Hanshan complained again.
"That Manager Su...Sister Ying, why didn't you take a boat there even though you knew you couldn't make it in one day?" Ma Hanshan likes to ride a boat. The boat is so stable, and riding a horse really bumps your buttocks to the point of numbness.
"The plan was to arrive on the same day, but unfortunately, the host Ma stayed in bed and delayed the time." Su Ying said casually.
"You... you... obviously your plan is not thorough... you always have this attitude, I... I will deduct your salary..." Ma Hanshan said very unhappy.
"Stingy... People who can afford Lin'an Garden actually want to deduct our salary. It's really heartless..." Xiaoyue didn't dare to argue with Ma Hanshan, so she could only whisper naturally to herself.
"What did you say? What did you say, girl... How dare you criticize me..." Along the way, Ma Hanshan had a "tongue-in-cheek" with the three girls, but he was not lonely at all.
Everyone was noisy and stopped all the way, taking a leisurely rest. In the evening, they arrived at Shangyu County, a suburb of Yuezhou Prefecture. It was half the journey here, and Ma Hanshan decided to stay here for one night to recharge his batteries, and then set off early tomorrow morning. , arrive in Mingzhou at noon tomorrow.
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Ma Hanshan got up before dawn, hoping to scare a few girls.
Unexpectedly, when he came out of the room, everyone was already waiting for him in the lobby of the inn.
Ma Hanshan was very surprised. Why did they get up so early? He quietly asked the security guard on the way and found out that Manager Su told them last night that the Ma family would get up before dawn today and rush on their way, so everyone should get up early.
Haha, this woman is really amazing. She actually guessed my actions last night. Ma Hanshan couldn't help but become more interested in Su Ying. This woman is really not simple.
At the end of noon, everyone arrived in Mingzhou.
Mingzhou is an old city and a prosperous port city. The agriculture and fisheries here are developed, and it can be regarded as a rich land among the rich lands in the south of the Yangtze River.
Mingzhou is also one of the three major manufacturing bases in Dasong, which is not inferior at all to Fengzhou Citong City and Guangzhou Dongguan Shipyard.
"Ah, this is Mingzhou. Why are the houses so small? And they are shabby. Doesn't it mean that Mingzhou is quite rich?" Ma Hanshan sat on his horse, looking left and right, feeling very disgusted with the city of Mingzhou.
The houses in Mingzhou are indeed old and low. There is nothing we can do about it. The city of Mingzhou is built on the seaside and experiences countless typhoons every year. If the houses are built high, it will be very dangerous.
In this era, houses were made of bricks and tiles, and their wind resistance was really poor. Many coastal residents even built walls with bricks and stones, and then used thatch to cover the roof. It was not because of lack of money, but to reduce the risk of typhoons.
The loss of time is of course also for safety.
When a big typhoon comes, whether it is a tiled or thatched roof, it will be overturned. But the cost difference between a tiled roof and a thatched roof is too much. Moreover, under normal circumstances, the thatched roof will be overturned.
It won't hurt anyone if it's turned over, but it's hard to tell if it's covered with tiles. Being hit by a few tiles can cause serious head injuries within minutes.
"Mr. Ma is known as the smartest person in the world, how could he say such a thing?" Su Ying said with a smile.
The smartest person in the world was Ma Hanshan who claimed to be the smartest person in the world when he had a recent quarrel with Su Ying. I don’t know why, but he always kept a low profile in the past and was never willing to say he was smart. When others said it, he was very humble and asked others not to praise him too much. But since Su Ying
Since arriving, he has often been smarter than Su Ying.
"Haha, I said this because I wanted to see what you, a girl who thinks she is the smartest in the world, would say." Ma Hanshan smiled and said, "You think I don't know this is to prevent wind, haha."
"Hmph, I say this again, don't call me girl. I'm older than you. Please call me Su Ying." Su Ying hated it most when Ma Hanshan put her together with Shen Hua Xiaoyue and the others.
It's a girl, she is a big girl. If she didn't run away from the marriage, her children would be spoiled now.
Women are very strange creatures. Sometimes, they try their best to pretend to be young. They are obviously aunties, but they insist on being a little sister. But sometimes, they try their best to pretend to be mature. They are obviously a girl, but they don't want to be called a girl.
Girl, it’s not okay to call her a little girl, she must be called a girl... Well, does she have to show that she is an adult?
"Okay, Miss Su Ying, let's find a place to eat." Ma Hanshan didn't argue with her. No matter what her name was, she was a big girl and pretty.
"Why don't we find the location of Fan's shipyard first and then attack it?" Su Ying said.
"Oh, isn't that easy? Find a place to eat first, and someone will lead the way later." Ma Hanshan said confidently.
"Oh, let's go to the Mingtong Restaurant in front of us. It looks pretty good." Su Ying pointed at a restaurant with a flag flying in front of her with her riding crop and said.
Mingtong Restaurant looks pretty good, and Ma Hanshan has no problem with it.
Everyone entered Mingtong Restaurant and asked for a private room on the second floor facing the street to sit down.
The waiter brought them tea, and the shopkeeper personally came to take their orders.
"A few guests, this restaurant..." The shopkeeper was about to recommend his specialty dishes, but was interrupted by Ma Hanshan, "Shopkeeper, don't be in a hurry to order. I'll ask about a place first. I heard that there is a place in Mingzhou.
It is the largest shipyard in Dasong. Does the shopkeeper know what the shipyard is called and where it is?"
The shopkeeper put away his smile, glanced at Ma Hanshan and the others and said, "Young Master is talking about Fan's Shipyard. It's not the largest in Dasong. It used to be ranked third or fourth. However, now I'm afraid it can't be ranked in any number."
Up."
"Yes, it's Fan's Shipyard. Why can't it be ranked in any number?" Ma Hanshan was very surprised. Why is the third largest shipyard not even ranked? Could it be that it has closed down?
"This... that... I don't know very well... how many of you... order..." the shopkeeper said.
Snap!
Ma Hanshan took a note of ten taels of silver and put it on the table and said, "I want to know about Fan's Shipyard." This chapter has been completed!
