- Galaxy Shipyard is located in a bay in Jinhai City. It is in the shape of a "concave" and occupies a land area of ??1.16 million square meters, a sea area of ??1.28 million square meters, and a dock shoreline of 1,400 meters. It is connected to the 10,000-ton shipyard that is about to be completed. Including the shipyard, there are a total of large and small shipyards, with a total of 6 slipways. Currently, it can produce various fishing boats, passenger cargo ships and small and medium-sized military vessels of less than 10,000 tons. It employs more than 4,000 employees and the shipyard assets are about 7.5 million. Gold coins can be ranked third in Jinhai City in terms of scale and manufacturing strength.
The scale of such a family business has taken five generations and nearly a hundred years of development to complete. From the generation of Grandpa Zhang Tie's grandfather to Grandpa Zhang Tie's generation, Jinhaicheng Xinghe Shipyard has completely completed its transformation. , from a small and simple slipway repairing small fishing boats, it has become a large shipyard that ranks high in Jinhaicheng and Jinyun Kingdom.
Zhang Tie's grandfather played a great role in this. When Zhang Tie's grandfather took over the family business, the company's assets were less than 100,000 gold coins. In the middle of the year, the size of the shipyard increased dozens of times.
Listening to his uncle¡¯s introduction, Zhang Tie found that he actually admired the old man he had never met before.
After visiting the shipyard and knowing more about the situation at his father¡¯s home these days, Zhang Tie can roughly guess what the situation was like in his father¡¯s home.
The old house of the Zhang family is a beautiful manor, covering an area of ??more than 20 acres. From the outside, although it does not look resplendent, it still has the appearance of a wealthy mansion. That is, in this old house of the Zhang family In the house, Zhang Tie finally had his first profound experience with the word family.
Zhang Tie¡¯s grandfather had four wives and a total of eleven children, including Zhang Tie¡¯s father. Among the eleven children, there are five daughters and six sons. Two of the five daughters married outside Huaiyuan County and did not come back today. The three who married within Huaiyuan County all came back today. On November 1, Zhang Tie's father ranks eighth among the children. In addition to two uncles and a sister-in-law, Zhang Tie suddenly has four more aunts and three uncles. The uncles of the aunts and sisters are not bad. One by one, Zhang Tie could still recognize them after the introduction, but the uncles and aunts of each room were dazzled when they were put together, and even Zhang Tie was a little dizzy.
Zhang Tie finally understood why Huaiyuantang wanted to build a Zongren Pavilion. Everyone has too many relatives to establish such a specialized institution. No one can figure out what's going on here.
Anyway, I went back to the Zhang family¡¯s old house today. Zhang Tie suddenly had twenty or thirty more elders. There were more than twenty cousins, cousins, cousins, and cousins ??in Zhang Tie's generation, among them. There were also some who were unable to attend this family gathering due to various reasons. Many of Zhang Tie¡¯s cousins ??had already given birth to children, and Zhang Tie suddenly had more than ten children and nephews. juniors.
Among the descendants of Zhang Tie¡¯s nephews and nephews. The oldest one is already twelve years old, which is only three or four years older than Zhang Tie. He is the age of a naughty kid. When he called Zhang Tie Tang uncle, his expression was very unhappy.
Among all the relatives and elders, the two uncles who were born from the same mother as Zhang Tie's father felt more cordial to Zhang Tie. Although other people were also very enthusiastic, they were not interested in Zhang Tie's sudden appearance. Tie's family, under their enthusiasm, were more curious and a little indifferent that could not be concealed.
Zhang Tie didn't mind much about this. After all, he hadn't seen each other for decades and had no communication or contact. It was impossible for half-brothers and sisters not to have any estrangement. What's more, in such a wealthy family, In a family, bloody dramas such as fighting for property are indispensable. In the eyes of some people, the return of dad may be another competitor who will divide the family property in the future.
¡¡
"Zhang Ping, where does your family live now?" During dinner, when Zhang Haitian, the old man of the Zhang family, who was sitting at the main table, asked this question calmly, it had been lively just a second ago. There was a sudden silence in the dining room filled with five tables of people, and everyone was silent. Even the servants serving food in the dining room stood aside obediently and stopped moving.
"Dad, Zhang Ping came back a little unexpectedly this time, so I arranged for them to stay in an ordinary rented apartment on Xinhai Road first!" Zhang Tie's uncle said.
The old man pondered for a moment.
"Dad, I didn't think carefully about this matter. My eighth brother and his sister-in-law were not prepared when they came back, so they were wronged!" Seeing that the old man didn't speak, Zhang Tie's other uncle, who was also sitting at the main table, He also spoke quickly. The uncle who spoke at the back is the eldest son of the old man, named **. He is also the future designated successor of the old man, and the future head of the big family sitting here.
At this time, ** is naturally full of posture.
"Firstly, I came back too suddenly, and secondly, I didn't want to trouble my family too much, so I didn't notify my eldest brother. Please don't take offense. It's quite good for us to live here on Xinhai Road now. We have three bedrooms and two living rooms, which is enough for a family." Stop it!" Zhang Tie's father explained quickly.
The elders in the family all know how Zhang Tie's father came back this time, but no one talked about the time when Zhang Tie's father faked his death and eloped. Everyone tacitly understood it and felt like Zhang Tie's father. It's like he has been wandering around for decades.
The old man looked at Zhang Tie's father, who looked more weathered than the other brothers, and didn't speak for a long time. No one knew what the old man was thinking, "I didn't take enough care of you at home before, and you suffered a lot in these years. The next time you come back, I will give you 5% of the shares in my family¡¯s shipyard. These 5% shares will only participate in the shipyard¡¯s dividends and will not participate in the daily operation and management!¡±
Hearing what the old man said, Zhang Tie's father simply stood up, looked at the old man, and said categorically, "Dad, the shipyard at home can be as big as it is today. It's all because of the hard work you and several elder brothers have put in over the years." I have worked hard bit by bit. I have not been at home these years, and I have not done anything for my family. I always feel guilty. How can I accept the shares of the shipyard at this time? I will definitely not want these shares. If you insist, Dad, you will force our family to leave Jinhai City!"
Zhang Tie had never found his father to be such a man, with such a backbone. After seeing his father say these words, he turned to look at himself and his brother. Zhang Tie said nothing, but his face blossomed. With a bright smile, he quietly gave his father a thumbs up under the table. Zhang Tie's elder brother also smiled and nodded to his father. Seeing the appearance of his two sons, Zhang Ping felt warm in his heart and almost shed tears.
Zhang Tie saw his mother smiling and gently held his father's hand under the table. The elder brother quietly patted the elder sister-in-law twice on her legs.
After looking at Zhang Ping seriously for half a minute, the old man sighed with relief and disappointment.
"Master, since Zhang Ping doesn't want the shares in the shipyard, then let's just give him his family's house in Changman, so that his family can have a place to settle down in Jinhai City, and Zhang Ping's two children can also It's time to start a family and start a business. If I have the heart, it won't be too late to help your two grandsons in the future!" the eldest lady sitting next to the old man said.
The old man¡¯s eyebrows moved, and after looking at Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang, he nodded slowly.
"Eighth brother, if you don't accept even a house, then you don't know where you will put the rest of the family?" ** also spoke.
"Thank you, Dad. I will take over the house. Our family will move there tomorrow!" After thinking about it, Zhang Tie's father immediately expressed his stance and sat down again. The uncle at the same table also nodded. .
¡°I don¡¯t know if it was an illusion, but Zhang Tie felt that when his father took over the house, many people here seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became harmonious and lively again.
"Zhang Yang, I heard that you have just retired. What are your plans for the future?" The old man turned his attention to Zhang Yang again and asked with half concern and half elaboration.
Zhang Yang has already discussed this issue with Zhang Tie in the past two days. Zhang Yang has already made a decision, "Huaiyuan County has developed commerce and gathers many commodities from the east and west continents. I am going to prepare a trading company to specialize in trade!"
"Are you having financial difficulties?" the old man asked directly.
"There is no difficulty. I will start from a small place first. I will build a store in Jinhai City and slowly work out the business. I believe I will succeed!" Zhang Yang replied calmly.
The old man nodded, and no one here laughed at Zhang Yang for starting too low, because what the old man often said is that for those who are down-to-earth, as long as they know the right direction, it will only be a matter of time before they reach the top.
"Where is Zhang Tie, what are your plans for the future?" The old man's eyes fell on Zhang Tie's face again.
"I will report to the family's Qianlong Hall next Monday!"
When Zhang Tie said these words, the whole room became quiet again. Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Tie. Some were surprised, some were surprised, some were envious, and some were shocked. Everyone sitting here was Everyone knows where the Qianlong Hall is. As the name suggests, it is the hidden dragon place of the entire Zhang family in Huaiyuantang. The descendants of the Zhang family who can enter here and finally come out will all become the pillars of the family in the end. , those elders who can enter the family council of elders, those big shots who are in charge of the cardinals and powers of Huaiyuantang, almost all of them came from Qianlongtang.
becauseBecause Zhang Tie had already explained this plan to his parents yesterday, no one in Zhang Tie's family was very surprised. Zhang Tie originally thought that his parents would object, but unexpectedly, the two of them supported him. of this decision.
"Okay, okay, okay" The old man laughed, "I never thought that two of my descendants, Zhang Haitian, would awaken the bloodline of their ancestors and enter the family Qianlong Hall, hahahaha"
"Your cousin is also in Qianlong Hall. He didn't come back today. If you go this time, you can get close to him" ** also said with a smile, seeming very happy, but Zhang Tie felt that this uncle was happy. , the look in his eyes seems to have some other meaning (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! - Didn't finish reading?
