Chapter 123 Picking up junk (for everything)
Is Daliang rich?
The Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, which seems to be very rich, made the entire Shangjiang aristocratic class jealous. He has 20% of the shares, second only to the Marquis of Stanley. Even the Shangjiang royal family was left behind by him. However, the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce has just begun its initial preparation stage, and it will not be effective in a short while to make money.
The fishing ground given by Joyce is also amazing, but it is a long-lasting flow. Moreover, Daliang's situation has gradually spread out, and his troops have reached 2,000. With the weekly salary plus the development of the Black Fire Corps, the output of a fishing ground can be expected to maintain the balance of income and expenditure of the entire territory.
In other words, Daliang holds a lot of shipbuilding drawings but has no money to build a ship. What kind of win-win is this? This is completely because Joyce takes the merits of his brother and takes the benefits of the military. If he can still make a fortune from his brother in the future, she will win by herself.
And what she meant by building a ship at a normal price? Is there anything abnormal?
Daliang asked: "What does the Admiral say that the U-Teacher can build ships at normal prices in the Pudong Army Shipyard? Do our Pudong fleet have two prices for shipbuilding external ships?"
"How could it be two prices... three, take a sloop. The military purchase price of our Pudong Fleet is 1,000 gold coins, and the foreign trade price is 2,000 gold coins. If an adventurer comes to me, it will be 3,000 gold coins. This is still the price of a bare ship. With sails, slurry, rigging, the maximum cost of a finished sloop is between 4,500 and 5,000 gold coins. If it is a sloop warship, it needs to be equipped with artillery, and the cost is at least 10,000 gold. Have you seen the outer equipment of the ships I gave you? Although all are light damage, it only takes a small amount of money to repair it. It is definitely not as good as the new one in terms of durability, but it is no different from the new one.
Now I know I'm not treating you badly. You can build bare ships at a low price in the shipyard of the Pudong Fleet, and then equip the repaired peripherals onto the ship. This way, you can save 70% or even more of the cost of a ship. I can also make some money from building ships and clean up the eliminated inventory by the way."
Da Liang just heard it and contacted Xu Man directly: "Have you built your ten sloops?"
"Not yet, the price given by the Pudong Fleet Shipyard is too expensive. The purchase of ten sloop warships in group purchases is actually 10,000 gold for a single ship. The main reason is that the artillery is too expensive, and one sloop warship requires 600 gold. One sloop warship requires ten sloop warships, which is 6,000 gold. Ten sloop warships require 100,000 gold coins. I am now looking for players who are highly friendly to the Pudong fleet to see if they can be cheaper. It is too expensive! This is still a sloop warship. I really don't know what the amazing price of those sloop warships and three-masted warships are. Building a navy is really not something that ordinary people can afford."
I am very friendly with the Pudong fleet. Who is the best in this game? I am now bragging and chatting with the ultimate boss of the Pudong fleet. Xu Man and Xu Man, you are lucky today and meet a big guy like me.
"Give me your ten sloop warship drawings, and transfer me 70,000 gold coins. All ten ships will be included, and I will help you build them."
Xu Man was shocked: "It's true. I have been talking to the people from the Pudong Fleet Shipyard for a long time. They were willing to build ten sloops with 100,000 gold coins. You opened your mouth and left me with 30,000 yuan. Did you drink too much last night and haven't woken up yet?"
Daliang said funnyly: "You have seen anyone drunk in the game? I have a way to build a ship at a discount. If you don't believe it, then forget it."
"Don't, I doubt anyone, and I can't doubt you. Wait a minute, the drawings and gold coins will be sent to your email address."
With a dripping sound, Daliang saw that there were indeed ten sloop warship drawings and 70,000 gold coins in his mailbox.
Sloop battleship, total load capacity: 60
Maximum Weapon: 10
Steering force: 95
Propulsion force: 85
Standard sailor: 20
Necessary sailors: 5
Maximum sailor: 40
With Joyce's order, Daliang built these ten single-mast warships at the Pudong Fleet Shipyard, with 1,000 gold bare ships each, and only 100 gold coins. All other peripherals were refurbished, and 100 cannons were needed. There were 100 lightly damaged cannons on the list. All of them were refurbished for Xu Man.
In this way, you can easily earn more than 50,000 gold coins. Hey... It seems that the business of picking up rags is also good...
Suddenly, Daliang, who was making money, looked at the long list and smiled, as if the words were piles of gold coins waving to him.
So Daliang quickly asked Joyce: "Sir, just explained the inventory? Is it rare that there are many such lightly damaged ship peripherals and artillery in the warehouse of our Pudong fleet?"
"There are many. The Pudong fleet has high training intensity. Every once in a while, all warships have to be inspected and replaced with new peripheral artillery. Now every warship that has fought with Chongming Island will have to be overhauled after returning to the port, and there are more supplies replaced. What do you ask about these?"
Daliang quickly said, "I just ask. But the adults also said that if these lightly damaged peripherals have the same repair performance as new, why doesn't our Pudong fleet renovate and equip these things on our warships? This will definitely save a lot of money, right?"
Joyce said seriously: "The performance, peripherals, and artillery of warships are the life of sailors. In high-intensity wars, the durability of equipment can affect the victory of a war. Especially in the naval battle against the Chongming fleet, a small durability gap may make me lose a battle. Therefore, I require my warship to be in the best state when leaving the port, and all damaged peripherals and artillery are not allowed to be on the ship."
Daliang took a step back with a shocked expression and saluted Joyce deeply: "Old man loves soldiers as much as his son, and has a clear understanding of his hair. A small detail allows Bei Zhi to see his strategic vision and personal charm that makes people look up to him. No wonder the Pudong fleet is so majestic and the soldiers are so brave. It turns out that all this comes from the adult's delicate command and the art of leading troops. Today, listening to the adult's words made me suddenly enlightened and enlightened. What my Black Fire-led army lacks is the strictness of the adult's military and the hardship of training.
Alas... it's just that my Black Fire Recruitment has limited funds, and I can't use new ships and new cannons to train the fleet like the Pudong Fleet. But my heart for training a strong army remains unchanged.
I don’t know how many lightly damaged peripherals and artillery there are in our Pudong warehouse. Can you sell them to me at a cheap price? I will take them back and train my army well. I think as long as I spend time, I will definitely train a tiger and wolf army for the adults.
