Chapter 462 The situation is not good
"Didn't you say it's impossible to sell it so quickly?"
While the young general was reporting, Wang Bi quietly scolded Zhang Han, trying to lower his voice as much as possible.
"That's right! What should we do now? It's been less than an hour since we left the gate of the shipyard, and we've sold two ships. Can we still negotiate this price?"
Kang Anping, the Minister of Punishment, was also a little anxious, fearing that the ships would be sold out.
At that time, all they could do was watch others go to Nanyang to make a fortune!
"Don't worry, don't worry! We've just sold two ships! There are at least eighteen more left...!"
Zhang Han wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and continued: "Didn't you realize it? The money for all steamships that are sold has to be sent here. We just need to pay close attention!"
"Yeah! That does make some sense!"
"As long as we work hard, the price will definitely be reduced. Even if it is only reduced by 100,000 gold, it will be enough for our whole family to spend for a year!"
"Yeah! That's true!"
Zhang Han was very confident before, thinking that he could capture the steamship for at least 1.1 million gold.
But as ships were sold one by one, he felt a little panicked!
After all, the wealth of Nanyang is there. If it is delayed because of their stinginess, I will regret it!
"Report...! Xianyang Zhang's purchase of a steamship!"
"The Zhao family of Liaodong purchased a steamship!"
"The Ying family in Fujian Province purchased two steamships!"
"The Qian family of Longxi purchased five steamships!"
…
Immediately afterwards, the guards at the shipyard reported one after another. Wang Bi, Zhang Han and others were frightened when they heard this.
Good guys, they always thought that they were rich enough, but they didn’t expect that there were so many rich people in Da Qin!
Even if they buy one boat, they feel pain. After spending a long time in this process, some people buy two boats, and some buy five boats!
This won't work! We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, the ships will be gone!
"Let's go! We have to leave quickly!"
Zhang Han scolded the people around him and stood up hastily.
"Let's go? Why? Haven't we just sold eleven ships? There should be nine more!"
Wang Ben, this idiot, actually planned to wait until there were only six ships left before selling.
"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly!"
Without any explanation, Zhang Han picked up Wang Ben and dragged him out of the door.
"Hey! What are you doing? Don't drag me! Didn't you tell me to wait...?"
Wang Ben was watching the excitement when he was suddenly pulled up, his tone somewhat dissatisfied.
But even so, Zhang Han did not let go.
Others had no choice but to leave!
Ying Feiyu was listening to the young general's report when he suddenly noticed that several people were standing up one after another, covering their mouths and snickering, "Are the ministers leaving now? The prince has also arranged lunch...!"
However, a few people didn't even look back and left in a hurry.
After getting on the horse, he kept waving the riding whip at a speed comparable to a battlefield charge!
"I said, Lao Zhang, it's you if you leave, and it's you if you don't leave. What are you going to do?"
Speeding through the streets of Xianyang City, Wang Ben still roared with dissatisfaction.
"I said, Lao Wang, you can't read with your eyes wide open? You were waiting because there were not many people buying steamships! Now you are reporting one after another, how can you, an old guy, still sit still?
"
Zhang Han didn't even bother to glance at him, he just waved the riding crop in his hand.
With such an old guy’s temperament, I really don’t know how he gained His Majesty’s trust and managed to get to this position in the court without being pulled down!
"Isn't there still a lot that hasn't been sold?"
Wang Ben rolled his eyes.
"Yes! Yes! It is true that there are still nine ships that have not been sold, but it will take at least two quarters of an hour for us to rush to the shipyard. What if someone buys them again during this time? If we go, we will have nothing but shit!"
"Hmph! Didn't you, the old guy, say that you have to work hard to get the prince to lower the price even more? Besides, even if this batch is gone, there will be another batch! As long as the price drops, the price will be lowered.
It’s never too late to buy!”
Zhang Han had said before that even if the offer was only 100,000 gold, it would be enough for their family to spend for a year, so he waited with peace of mind.
"Yes! When the next batch of steamships are produced, I'm afraid the shit will be cold...!"
Zhang Han was so angry that he had a headache, but he had to patiently explain to him, "For this batch of spices, His Royal Highness has said that they will be sold separately for fear of affecting the price. If we wait for the next batch of steamships to be produced, people will have to go to sea."
I’m back now, but I still don’t know how much the spices will cost then! But one thing is for sure, it will be less than ten gold. Will I still make a cent by then?”
"Less than ten gold? Then what are you waiting for? Hurry and leave!"
When Wang Ben heard this, the tendon that had been stuck suddenly seemed to be unblocked. He kept waving the riding whip in his hand, causing the other old guys to go out far away.
Zhang Han couldn't help but curse, "Is this big animal crazy?"
After years of pampering, his horsemanship skills are no longer what they used to be, and he can only be considered as good at riding, just a little bit better than those civil servants!
…
Several people worked hard and rushed to the shipyard as quickly as possible. They found that the originally deserted shipyard was actually crowded with people, and the entrance was blocked tightly.
In order to buy a steamer, a few people had to be shameless and squeeze in as hard as they could.
"Okay! There are only seven ships left in the shipyard, first come, first served!"
Huang Yuan stood at a high place and shouted impassionedly. The scene was comparable to a large-scale pyramid scheme.
"I want it! Our Li family wants two ships!"
Among the crowd, a man in embroidered brocade raised his hands above his head.
"Everyone stop it! We want to order six ships...!"
Just then Wang Ben squeezed out and shouted with great energy, which really startled the people around him.
"Um...this...?"
Now it was Huang Yuan's turn to be in trouble.
One person wants two ships, and Wang Ben and others want six ships. What should we do?
To whom should I give it but not to whom?
Normally, whoever shouts first and can get the money will own the boat!
But this guy is Wang Ben. Everyone saw him when he returned to the city in triumph.
Several others are also ministers of the DPRK and hold high positions. It is somewhat uneconomical to compete with them!
But if the ship was just handed over, Li would still be a little unwilling, so she had to wait for Huang Yuan to make a decision!
For a moment, all eyes fell on Huang Yuan.
Huang Yuan's face was full of embarrassment. After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay, one ship will be given to Li, five will be given to Tongwuhou, and the remaining one will be free to compete with the one with the highest price! What do you think?
?”
"Huh? This is a good idea, we agree!"
After deliberation, Wang Ben and others nodded in agreement.
"I don't have any objection either!"
After some thought, Li agreed.
Chapter completed!
