Chapter 902 Twenty Docks

Who knows how much involvement Zheng Derong and Youzhou are? With Zheng Derong being able to separate some projects, it shows that Youzhou has extraordinary trust in Zheng Derong.

Xiao Xian made a choice very wisely, although he also wanted to order his own merchant ship now and might have to wait.

Zheng Derong seemed to have seen the result from Xiao Xian's expression.

"Haha, it's a good thing to be able to take over the Zheng family's orders. I'm already looking forward to the dock now."

"Don't worry, the dock is not in a hurry either. I can tell you that the first batch of orders after the dock is completed are from Youzhou. I can tell you that after the dock is completed, there may be services for Youzhou within the next five years. According to my estimate, the time may be longer."

Xiao Xian's eyes lit up and he knew that Zheng Derong could do such a big business, and if he hadn't agreed, he wouldn't have heard of internal news.

As of this, the dock will be the key to development in the next few years. He is already wondering whether he should invest in another dock.

The next five years will be orders in Youzhou, which means that the docks will be produced in the next five years, and as long as the order is completed, it will be money.

Moreover, Zheng Derong means that the fleet that Youzhou needs may be large in size, how many ships can be built in the next five or ten years?

"What does the head of the Zheng family mean? How many ships can be built in ten years?"

Xiao Xian really doesn't know much about shipbuilding, even if he knows the introduction of the relevant projects, he is also a layman.

"How long does it take depends on how many docks can be built in the end. One thing is certain that the construction period of a new dock will be shortened to about eight months," said Zheng Derong.

Xiao Xian heard that it should take one or two years to build a large ship. If there is a special customization, it is possible to use it for two or three years. This new dock takes eight months to build a ship. It is really fast enough.

What he is more concerned about is that shortening the construction period means that the dock can be settled as soon as possible, which is a good thing for investors.

The head of the Zheng family knew very well that the large ships built in eight months were all new-style ships. If they wanted to be completed in a traditional dock, it would take at least three years to build.

More time is spent on shaping and air drying, and the main construction projects are all about keels and splicing.

The new dock uses large steam-powered vehicle spacing, and all the wood specifications can be processed in batches, and each board has a fixed specification.

It is precisely because of this that the new dock is so fast that the shipbuilding speed is so fast. All the experience comes from Youzhou dock. The premise of Li De's approval to build the dock is that the technical problems of building the dock and ships are mature.

Now, these technologies are put into production, and Li De is preparing to burn a wave of money, with the purpose of developing the marine fleet to earn more money and gain more rights.

What Xiao Xian didn't know was that new large ships were larger than traditional merchant ships, and they were used to build excellent ships in the shortest time.

A few days later, Xiao Xian left, and Zheng Derong began to receive businessmen from Youzhou.

What Zheng Derong unexpectedly was that these merchants from Youzhou really came in groups and had to build ten docks as soon as they opened their mouths.

What is the scale of Twenty Docks? According to the order needs of Youzhou, Zheng Derong was worried about Li De. It would cost at least three million chunks to build twenty large ships a year according to the budget.

Zheng Derong has been thinking about this question for some time afterwards whether the tax in Youzhou can support it.

The annual expenditure of several million chunks is really nothing to Youzhou. Most of the expenditures can be achieved by relying on the income of Bancheng Inn.

What's more, the taxes provided by many Youzhou workshops have long exceeded an astonishing value, but Zheng Derong really doesn't know that some of these are judged based on the situation during the Sui Dynasty.

Zheng Derong is so worried that he does not want Youzhou to face a financial crisis. After all, the development of Youzhou is closely linked to the interests of his Zheng family.

At the same time, he was worried that if Youzhou could not afford so much money for shipbuilding after the completion of the twenty docks, then these merchants would have the opportunity to build ships first.

For Zheng Derong, he really wanted the twenty large merchant ships that were launched within a year belonging to the Zheng family.

His ideas were also fantasized in the minds of many businessmen, especially those who came to invest from Youzhou, who knew very well how much the benefits of shipping were.

According to the good information on the construction information provided by Youzhou City Shoufu, it has shown that new merchant ships have the ability to sail for a long time, which provides them with an important information.

Future shipping will definitely not be limited to offshore transportation.

Some of the businessmen who invest in the business come with speculative ideas. The projects that Youzhou attaches great importance to can help them return to more benefits. This has been reflected in historical investment projects.

No one has ever thought about the future of twenty docks, once the ship does not need so many, then the docks will have no orders, and how will their investments recover their costs.

Businessmen may be blind to investing, but it does not mean that they cannot settle accounts. Especially when controlling the business development situation, the merchants from Youzhou talk very thoroughly when communicating with merchants.

In the absence of ships, one can calculate the number of ships expected to be built in the future and you will know that they will never lose money in the next twenty years.

If you can't continue to operate at the dock, you can give up that the money they earned would be enough for the capital at that time.

All things to be done are so friendly to business people.

No one can stop the general trend.

Zheng Derong received Youzhou merchants. During the time the merchants stayed, he personally accompanied them to communicate with these merchants and gained a lot of experience.

Zheng Derong thinks that he still needs to learn when doing business. He heard that the chamber of commerce in Youzhou often organizes businessmen exchange meetings, and through communication, businessmen can go further in the industry.

What I feel most about Zheng Derong is that the businessmen who came to invest conducted investigations on the local and surrounding situations during the trip after discussing the investment in the dock.

Surprisingly, many merchants have invested in many workshops in the local area. According to these merchants, it is convenient to guard such a large seaport.

The workshop products can be transported from north to south through sea. In addition, the workshop here has a lower investment cost and will increase the profit of goods circulation.

Businessmen must be good at seizing opportunities. What shocked the Zheng family was that many workshops produce good building materials, cement workshops, stone workshops, and brick walls.

Not only that, recruiting workers in the local area to form a construction team has already drawn up a lot of land for investment and construction.

After Zheng Derong learned about these things, he realized that all the thoughts spent by the Zheng family spent in several years on shipping.
