"These guys move really fast. They're all here just after noon?"
After Wang Ben and others discussed matters in the restaurant, they all returned home to explain how to find the crew, and then rushed to the shipyard without stopping.
Before I even reached the concierge, I saw a crowd of people inside from a distance, all of them familiar figures!
"Hey, they all want to take a bite of fat in Yizhou!"
"No! As long as you have a boat and can pick up money, these guys won't be able to sit still!"
"Humph! It's really all here. If you didn't know better, you would have thought that His Majesty moved the court here...!"
Several old guys squinted their eyes and watched the actions in the concierge in the distance while laughing mockingly.
It's as if they are not in it for the money!
"Why don't you go into the factory and instead gather in the concierge?"
Wang Ben was puzzled.
"If they could get in, they wouldn't stay here. There must be some reason blocking them here!"
Zhang Han guessed with a sneer.
"Yeah, I guess so! Look at the state of these guys. They are gathered together in twos and threes. They look like they are chatting. They don't look like they are queuing up to buy a boat!"
Feng Quji narrowed his old eyes and smiled.
"Then we can't get through?"
"Go! We're just here to buy a boat, why not go?"
"Yes! No matter what the reason is, go over first and talk about it later!"
After a brief discussion, the old guys speeded up their pace slightly.
After arriving at the concierge, the minister in the room noticed their presence and quickly saluted!
These old guys are in high positions, but they can't afford to offend!
Wang Ben and others also bowed their hands, became polite, and asked the craftsman why he didn't open the door. After learning the reason, they all waited with arms crossed!
"Tongwuhou and Zhang Shangshu, our officials are so soft-spoken that we can't talk to His Highness the Crown Prince. You see... can you go to His Highness the Crown Prince to intercede and ask His Highness the Crown Prince to give us a few copies of the navigation route map first, and then print it in large quantities? ?”
"Yes, when the news breaks out in the newspapers tomorrow, more noble and wealthy households will be eyeing Yizhou. When the navigation map comes out, everyone will flock to Yizhou!"
The ministers stared at the veterans with expectant faces.
Although they came to seize the ship in advance, they could not resist the fact that there were still many private people who owned steamships.
When I get the navigation chart, I will definitely rush to set off towards Yizhou!
If you can get the chart in advance, the situation will be different!
The veterans looked at each other.
I really didn't expect these guys to make such a request.
They thought they were thick-skinned enough, but they didn't expect that these guys were even thicker-skinned than them!
They actually asked them to come forward and ask for the nautical chart!
What a joke!
Let’s not talk about whether the boy will give it to him or not. Even if he does, they will keep it for themselves. How can it be given to them?
Is it possible to let these guys grab food with them?
There are more wolves than meat, so I wish there would be fewer people. Now you want to ask them to ask for a chart?
Eat shit if you want!
"Ouch! You guys are really making things difficult for us. We only have some cooperation with His Highness the Crown Prince, and we really don't have much contact in private. How could His Highness the Crown Prince give us the navigation charts in advance?"
"Yes! If we really had that ability, we wouldn't be able to meet here!"
"His Royal Highness probably only has one copy of the navigation route map in his hand, and it has to be printed by the printing house before we can have other copies. Even if we ask for it, it will be useless. There is no way that His Highness will give us the only copy. ...!"
The veterans didn't even need to add up, they simply rejected everyone.
You want them to ask for the road map and these guys just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. How is that possible?
"Alas! That's right. His Royal Highness can't give us the only road map in his hand!"
The other ministers didn't say anything else and could only nodded in disappointment.
"Da da da……"
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
If I guessed correctly, Huang Yuan should have rushed back.
"Xu..."
Sure enough, the carriage slowly stopped, and Huang Yuan jumped out of the carriage with neat movements.
"Ouch! Mr. Huang, you are finally back. We have had such a hard time waiting for you!"
A minister said with a sad face.
"Haha, there are some things to deal with at the internal combustion engine factory!"
Huang Yuan smiled slightly.
"Master Huang, don't say anything. We won't beat around the bush. We are just here to buy a ship. These craftsmen under you will not let us in no matter what. You should open the door quickly and let us in!"
Although everyone who should come has almost arrived, the ministers are still anxious, hoping that the ship can be booked now to avoid long nights and dreams.
"Someone, open the door!"
Huang Yuan was also unambiguous and gave the order directly with a wave of his hand.
"yes!"
The craftsman received the order and immediately opened the door.
"Thank you, Mr. Huang!"
"Master Huang is still open. We have been here for more than an hour and still haven't entered this gate!"
The ministers cupped their hands and immediately ran towards the steamer in the courtyard, each one walking faster than the other.
It’s definitely not an exaggeration to say it’s a steal!
"Haha! A brand new steamship is more beautiful!"
Arriving at the steamer as quickly as possible, the ministers slapped the hull with their hands, grinning from ear to ear.
"This steamship seems to have changed a little from before!"
After the ministers selected the ships they wanted one by one, they looked at Huang Yuan excitedly.
"Of course, steamships are constantly improving and striving to be the most perfect!"
The steamship did have a few changes. These were problems discovered by the craftsmen during the manufacturing process. They were proposed and decided to adopt after discussion.
"Haha! I want this steamer!"
"This ship is ours!"
"Old Huang, each of us wants one boat...!"
In the yard of the shipyard, there were about thirty steamships parked. The ministers immediately selected the ones they wanted, and walked back and forth on the deck and in the cabin, grinning from ear to ear.
Before, I was afraid that the steamer would not score enough points like last time.
Unexpectedly, after they selected a few of them, there would still be two or three ships left!
In this way, they felt a lot more at ease.
This means that in addition to the existing private ships, after the news breaks out tomorrow, the steamship shipyard will only have two or three steamships for sale!
At most they only have two or three more competitors!
In this way, they can feel more at ease!
"Several ministers and colleagues, the steamship shipyard is undergoing renovation recently. Are you sure you want to buy these steamships?"
Seeing the excitement of these people, Huang Yuan shouted loudly to them.
"Sure, of course sure! We've been waiting here for more than an hour. We can't come here to chat with you, right?"
The ministers nodded firmly one by one.
