With the publication of the newspaper, Huang Yuan and everyone in the shipyard also understood why so many ministers suddenly came to buy steamships yesterday.
It turns out that they are all eager to make a fortune in Yizhou!
"I heard that the ships of Marquis Tongwu and others had already loaded several loads of food early this morning. They set out from the port and probably went to Yizhou first, right?"
A craftsman behind Huang Yuan said.
"Well, it should be!"
Huang Yuan nodded in agreement.
Otherwise, those old guys wouldn't have visited late at night and had to get the steamship!
Probably just to be one step ahead and head to Yizhou!
"Huang Shaojian, go and take a look. A lot of people have gathered outside the shipyard, and they are all clamoring to buy a boat!"
At this moment, a craftsman suddenly ran over and reported.
Since the shipyard is undergoing renovation, the doors are closed during this period and there is no official opening for business!
Those wealthy and distinguished people who came could only be blocked outside the gate.
Like the ministers yesterday, they all looked anxiously into the shipyard, fearing that there would not be enough ships!
"How many people came?"
Huang Yuan asked in a deep voice as he walked out.
"There must be hundreds of people there!"
The craftsman estimated and said.
"so much?"
Huang Yuan was a little surprised.
Are everyone so rich now? Steamship says buy it?
So many people came all at once?
"Yes! They seem to be more anxious than the ministers who came yesterday! They all seem to be from Xianyang and nearby. It is said that there are many foreigners coming towards us, all wanting to buy boats and go to sea! "
These are what the craftsmen heard from the nobles when they were maintaining order.
Steamships were expensive and out of reach of ordinary people, so sales were average!
It's the kind of business that either doesn't open or it lasts three years after opening!
Since the last time the imperial court purchased a batch, after the expedition to the Maurya Dynasty, they have been sold sporadically!
I never thought it would be so popular one day!
But the problem now is that there are buyers, but they don’t have the goods!
Almost all the ships accumulated before were bought yesterday, and now there are only two steamships in the shipyard!
"Go and open the door and bring them in!"
After leaving the factory, Huang Yuan gave instructions to the craftsmen behind him.
"yes!"
The craftsman responded and hurried to do it.
In just a moment, a group of people crowded in.
Like a 100-meter race, they rushed towards the only two steamships in the courtyard!
"What about the steamships? There won't be just two of them, right?"
When I rushed in and took a look, I was a little dumbfounded.
In such a huge shipyard, there are only two ships parked in the yard!
"You want to buy a steamer?"
Huang Yuan stood in the courtyard and asked unhurriedly.
"Yes! We are here so early just to buy a boat!"
"Yes, where are the ships?"
The rich people kept looking around the courtyard, but still found nothing.
They are different from the ministers who came yesterday. The ministers are very familiar with Huang Yuan, and they will occupy the steamer if they dare to enter.
But they didn't dare, even if they knew there were only two ships, they didn't dare to board the ship rashly!
"There are only these two steamships left now, each worth two million gold!"
Huang Yuan stretched out two fingers and said loudly.
"What? There are only two ships left? So there are so many of us, how can we divide them?"
Everyone's heart sank immediately.
Now, not to mention that the price of steamships has increased, there are only two left.
Is it possible to use the auction method again like last time?
It’s hard to say how much money we can get in the end!
"I have two ping pong balls in my hand. After I throw them out, only those who intend to buy a steamship can pick them up. Whoever catches them will have the opportunity to buy a steamship!"
Contrary to what the people thought, Huang Yuan did not use an auction this time.
"good!"
The rich people heard this and immediately agreed happily.
"Then let's begin!"
Huang Yuan turned around, turned his back to everyone, and threw the two balls in his hands.
The crowd scrambled to grab it.
The person who got the ball held on tightly for fear of being taken away!
"Haha, the ball is in my court!"
"I grabbed one too!"
Two men in unusual clothes cheered loudly.
Others looked depressed!
"You two go with him and go through the formalities and pay the money!"
Huang Yuan called the two men who got the ball to follow the craftsmen behind him to go through the formalities.
Seeing the two people leaving triumphantly, everyone became even more depressed.
"Master Huang, how come there are only two steamships in such a large shipyard?"
"That's right, we are from out of town, we can't just go back empty-handed, right?"
The others seemed unwilling to give up and still stayed in the shipyard to deal with Huang Yuan.
"Thank you for your trust in our shipyard, but there are only so many steamships, and they will not be produced again in the future!"
Huang Yuan's words shocked everyone.
"What? Steamships will no longer be produced?"
"What is going on? Isn't the shipyard the property of His Royal Highness? Why won't it be produced in the future?"
"We have just taken over Yizhou. Why can't we produce steamships before they are developed? What about the immigrants in the future? Didn't it mean that Erzhou, Umbrella and other places have not yet been developed...?"
The rich people looked puzzled and puzzled.
"Everyone, listen to me. It is true that steam ships are no longer in production, and these are indeed the last two ships in stock! But the production of internal combustion engine ships is being stepped up, and it is estimated that they will be built in less than ten days!"
When Huang Yuan's words reached the ears of wealthy people, it was like the sound of nature.
"What? The internal combustion engine ship will be built soon?"
"So, after ten days, there will still be boats for sale?"
"How does the performance of an internal combustion engine ship compare with that of a steam ship...?"
After hearing this explosive news, the rich people were so happy that they started asking questions.
"Internal combustion engine ships are no different from steam ships in terms of size and volume. The only difference is the change in power! The internal combustion engine was developed by hundreds of craftsmen and took more than two years. The power is definitely better than that of steam engines. The power is more powerful! It’s just that the fuel has been changed from coal and water to diesel!”
Huang Yuan patiently explained to everyone.
"Diesel? Have you heard of it?"
"It seems to be something separated from the stone paint in the refinery, right?"
"Yeah! It should be!"
"No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has built oil refineries all over Daqin, working day and night. It turns out they are all for internal combustion engines...!"
When it comes to diesel, everyone seems to suddenly think of something.
The refinery has been under construction for a long time, and many people have been recruited to work, and the salaries are very high!
Turns out it’s all about providing fuel for the internal combustion engine!
