Chapter 352 Inspecting Haizhou(2/2)

Sun Baili said: "It can be made by ordinary people, but it must be done in a shipyard in Taizhou!"

Zhao Tai heard that he still had a shipyard in Taizhou, so he asked: "How many large ships do you build in a year at your shipyard in Taizhou?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, this depends on the needs of maritime merchants. Generally, one large ship with five thousand materials per year must be built." Sun Baili said.

Zhao Tai immediately waved his hand, "How about you bring your shipyard in Taizhou to Haizhou and order five large-scale ships with a cost of 5,000 yuan from you every year?"

Sun Baili was a little shocked when he heard this, "Five ships worth 5,000 tons?"

Zhao Taidao: "Yes, I need to prepare a navy. In addition, I need to build a fleet to trade with Goryeo. In the future, there may be more than five ships per year!"

Sun Baili heard this and made a quick mental calculation. He had a large shipyard in Taizhou, but the competition there was fierce and he couldn't get many orders.

He came to Haizhou to do business and saw that Haizhou Port was very busy but there was no large shipyard to repair sea-going ships, so he came to Haizhou and set up this shipyard.

Although this shipyard has been in operation for less than a year and has only taken orders for repairing sea-going ships, its income is already close to that of the shipyard in Taizhou.

This made Sun Baili see the potential of Haizhou, so instead of being in Taizhou, he came to Haizhou and prepared to run the shipyard with all his heart.

Now Zhao Tai wants to give him an order, which immediately makes him excited.

If he can build large ships in Haizhou and take orders from Zhao Tai, he will definitely make a lot of money.

Sun Baili immediately saluted, "I would like to thank you for your promotion. I am willing to move the shipyard in Taizhou to Haizhou."

Zhao Tai waved his hand, "Don't rush to agree yet. I have a request, and you need to agree!"

Sun Baili asked hurriedly: "I wonder what your Majesty's request is?"

Zhao Taidao: "You set up a shipbuilding workshop in Haizhou, and I want to take a share in it!"

When Sun Baili heard that Zhao Tai wanted to take a shareholding, he quickly made a mental calculation and felt that it was not unacceptable. With Zhao Tai taking a shareholding, no one would dare to cause trouble to the workshop in the future.

He was about to agree, but Zhao Tai said again: "Gu holds 60% of the shares, and you hold 40%. However, Gu will not interfere with your management, and the shipyard will still be managed by you!"

As soon as these words came out, Sun Baili immediately hesitated. Zhao Tai held 60% of the shares, so the shipyard belonged to Zhao Tai.

Naturally, Zhao Tai could not let a Southern Song Dynasty businessman control a technical industry such as shipbuilding. It had to be controlled by the feudal government.

However, now that Zhao Tai needed people and no technology, he could only use the market in exchange for Sun Baili to come and set up a factory.

Zhao Tai smiled and said: "You can think about this matter carefully. If you don't agree, then I will do it myself."
