However, Han Huaiyi took this in advance and did not mention it.

After talking about this, Wei Yungong then told Han Huaiyi a good news: "I went to see Xiangshuai the day before yesterday. I knew you didn't care about this, but I still reported your name to him and told you about your deeds. He was very impressed, so he agreed to deal with Birmingham to you, but he had a request."

The ability to know Zhang Zhidong's name and his positive image is closely related to the Western Affairs Office he cares about.

Even though the Qing court had not been around for a few years, Han Huaiyi was still happy.

As for Zhang Zhidong's request, Han Huaiyi didn't want to know it. He was just afraid that he would not order a new one if he bought an old ship. Then it would be a joke that he supported Wei Yungong to separate the shipyard business.

However, Han Huaiyi even thought that this was actually a request made by Wei Yungong on the excuse of Zhang Zhidong and himself.

So Han Huaiyi asked the other party with a smile: "Xiangshuai wants me to get the benefits and you have to do it? Don't worry, I will definitely order a new ship, and I can give you a deposit today."

Wei Yungong immediately leaned back and forth with satisfaction. He patted Han Huaiyi on the shoulder: "Huaiyi, Huaiyi, you are indeed the heart of Qiji."

"No, Brother Yungong." Han Huaiyi became serious: "It's not that I have seven orifices in my heart, but that I really want to do things, so even if I don't have Xiang Shuai's care and friendship with you, I have to buy a boat with you. If you are here to stay, I will naturally have to buy a boat and make a good start for my eldest brother's career."

Then he suggested, "Look, when ordering a new ship, we have to have a fresh ceremony. We'd better make a contract with you under the name of the New Roman Trading Company, so that all foreigners can report and publish it in the newspaper! In this way, in addition to giving face, outside, we also think that the dock has a way! What do you think?"

Wei Yungong was stunned when he heard this, and then said to his nephew: "Litao, have you heard that Huaiyi's words are the ability! These are what Xiangshuai and I wanted to ask him to do after discussing with him. He then took out all the things and designed them after hearing me say a few words!"

Wei Litao bowed with conscience: "Mr. Han is indeed extraordinary, I admire you."

In fact, Han Huaiyi's methods were just the simplest way of publicity in later business, and it was not unusual to use them in this world, but it was natural that he could tell things so clearly in this era.

Han Huaiyile pretends to be like this.

However, when Shangyan, he laughed and said a few words of humility and started to tell Wei Yungong: "Brother, how much is Birmingham going to calculate? Can you give me some money? To be honest, I have already obtained a business in Tianjin in August, and I am in a hurry."

"So fast?" Wei Yungong didn't know that this was Jason's relationship, so he looked at Han Huaiyi in surprise.

These days, a friend of Jason had a batch of cotton and linen to be sent to the Tianjin Concession in August. Jason stopped him and asked Han Huaiyi if he did it.

Of course, Han Huaiyi couldn't ask for it.

However, this guy boasted to Wei Yungong: "What's this? I don't dare to take some businesses now because I'm afraid it's too late, so I'm in a hurry to ask you for a boat."

Wei Yungong told him truthfully: "You can see that one thousand five hundred taels?"

A ship worth more than 2,000 tons is only so much money, you still ask if it is OK? That is not OK.

Han Huaiyi's face turned dark and said with a cunning nature: "That ship is going to be scrapped, okay, what does it mean to scrap a ship mean? It means that steel is not good, so it's not worth the money."

"Is this what you said to support me?" Wei Yungong was anxious: "One thousand three! The lowest, I have to explain to the above."

Han Huaiyi had his tricks, and lowering the price was actually to buy favors.

The guy immediately said, "Forget it, just count it at 1,500. But you have to fix it for me so that it can run safely for three years! But the wages are all in it."

Wei Yungong said, "Okay, Han Huaiyi, you deliberately lowered the price because you were afraid that you would calculate the wages for the boat repair with me or not. I also told you that if you lost money this time, I would have repaired it for you 1,300 yuan."

Han Huaiyi said calmly: "Brother, you made a mistake again. Of course, the quotation is still 1,300 yuan. I have to give you the extra 200 yuan maintenance fee! You have to take two steps to this matter. First of all, you have to attribute the matter of buying a boat to your ex, and at most it is to make up for him. The matter of repair has to be on your head. This is called opening!"

Although Wei Yungong is engaged in Westernization, he is not sloppy and is more like a technical talent by nature.

He was ashamed to hear this thief Pi say this and said repeatedly: "Oh, you are still thinking about it for me."

Isn't that true? Wei Yungong gave the ship worth 1,500 yuan to someone, and even paid for maintenance.

He would be scolded to death if he didn't want to do this.

Those whine-talking guys won't ask the inside story of the Birmingham before.

But if Han Huaiyi does it according to the way he handles it, things will change nature.

Because this matter was that Han Huaiyi first gave 200 taels of labor money when Wei Yungong took office, and asked the Jiangnan dock to repair it for him.

Of course, more importantly, there is a big dish after this order.

So Han Huaiyi then asked Wei Yungong: "How much does the total cost of a new ship cost?"

What Wei Yungong said is simply too considerate.

The cost of a 3,000-ton ship is about 4,000 taels, which is a cheaper price than abroad.

The shipbuilding cycle will take one and a half years, but the money can be given in batches.

Han Huaiyi was so happy after hearing this, he discussed with him: "What do you think? I thought about it and followed the foreign model. I would give some deposit first, give 50% of the total price in half, 90% of the total price when completed, and give the last ten% within a year."

"How much deposit are you going to give?" Wei Yungong was embarrassed to ask if he was a scholar.

Han Huaiyi did not disappoint him. Han Huaiyi said without hesitation: "Tell me, why do you think it looks good, I will give it to me."

He also added: "Even if the purchase of the old ship and the deposit for the new ship are at your hands, I will not owe it. I will give it together so that you will not be gossiped by others."

"It's great!" Wei Yungong raised his fingers in a state of emotion: "One thousand, how about it."

"I think I'd better make up 3,300 to you in total!" Han Huaiyi thought for a while, and he rushed to give money, "The total price of the new ship is 4,000, and I will give 1,800 deposit. In this way, I can see which bastard dares to talk about you behind your back. What do you think of brothers to you?"

Wei Yungong made him stand up and was immediately overjoyed.

Han Huaiyi was also very happy because although he seemed to have spent 200 taels of silver and given an additional deposit of 800, Wei Yungong owed him two favors!

So compared with Wei Yungong, he is actually called profit.

Moreover, as soon as the matter was decided, Han Huaiyi sincerely gave Wei Yungong two thousand silver notes first and asked him to write a receipt.

Doing things is not only done by your mouth, but also by doing things. Real money cannot be fake!
