The Galaxy Shipyard is located in a bay of Jinhai City. It has a "concave" shape. It occupies a land area of ​​1.16 million square meters, a sea area of ​​1.28 million square meters, and a shoreline of 1,400 meters. It is connected to the 10,000-ton class that is about to be completed. There are a total of 6 large and small shipyards, including the shipyards. At present, it can produce all kinds of fishing boats, passenger and cargo ships and small and medium-sized military ships below 10,000 tons. It employs more than 4,000 people and the scale of the shipyard’s assets is 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 been accumulated after five generations of nearly a hundred years of development. From the generation of Grandpa Zhang Tie to the generation of Grandpa Zhang Tie, Jinhaicheng Xinghe Shipyard has completely completed its transformation. From a simple slipway for repairing small fishing boats to a large shipyard that ranks high in Jinhai City and Jinyun State.

Zhang Tie’s grandfather played a very important role in this. When Zhang Tie’s grandfather took over the family business, the company’s assets were less than 100,000 gold coins, which is the dozens of business that Zhang Tie had in his hands. In the middle of the year, the scale of this shipyard has doubled dozens of times.

Listening to the uncle's introduction, Zhang Tie found that he actually admired the old man who had never met before.

After visiting the shipyard, coupled with his understanding of the situation in his father's home these days, Zhang Tie has probably been able to guess what is going on in his old home.

The old house of the Zhang family is a beautiful manor, covering an area of ​​more than 20 acres. From the outside, although there is no feeling of magnificence, it also has the posture of a two-pointed mansion, that is, in this old Zhang family. In the house, Zhang Tie finally had his first profound experience of the word family.

Zhang Tie’s grandfather has four wives, including Zhang Tie’s father. He has eleven children. Among the eleven children, five daughters and six sons. Two of the five daughters are married outside Huaiyuan County. , I didn’t rush back today. The three married in Huaiyuan County all rushed back today. Among the eleven children, Zhang Tie’s father ranked eighth. Apart from two uncles and a sister-in-law, Zhang Tie suddenly returned There are four more aunts and three uncles. The uncles of the aunts and sisters are okay, one for each, and Zhang Tie can still recognize them after introducing them, and the aunts of the uncles and uncles are called together. A dazzled one, even Zhang Tie made a little dizzy.

Zhang Tie finally understood why Huaiyuantang had to build a clan pavilion. Everyone had too many relatives. Without such a special organization, no one could know the famous pavilion inside.

In short, when I returned to the Zhang family’s old house today, Zhang Tie suddenly had 20 or 30 elders. There were also more than 20 cousins, cousins, and cousins ​​of Zhang Tie’s generation. Among them, there were some who could not come to the family gathering for various reasons, and many of Zhang Tie’s cousins, many of whom had already given birth to children, and Zhang Tie suddenly had more than a dozen nephews and nephews. The younger generation.

Among the descendants of Zhang Tie’s nephew’s generation, the oldest is already twelve years old. The age difference between Zhang Tie and Zhang Tie is three or four. It is the age of the bear child. When he was called Uncle Zhang Tietang, his expression was very unwilling.

Among all the relatives and elders, those in the family of the two uncles born to Zhang Tie’s father and mother gave Zhang Tie a more cordial feeling. Although the others were also very enthusiastic, they were more friendly to Zhang who came out suddenly. The Tie family, under the enthusiasm, became more curious and unconcealed.

Zhang Tie didn’t mind this. After all, he hadn’t seen him for decades, nor had he had any exchanges. It’s impossible to have no barriers among half-brothers and sisters. What’s more, in this kind of money In people's families, those dog-blood plots of fighting for property are indispensable. The return of my father, in the eyes of some people, may be another competitor who will divide the property in the future.

...

"Zhang Ping, where does your family live now?" At dinner, when Zhang Haitian, the old man of the Zhang family sitting at the main table, asked these words calmly, it was still lively for a second. There was a sudden silence in the dining room full of 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 suddenly this time. I first arranged for them in a rented apartment on Xinhai Road!" Zhang Tie's uncle said.

The old man groaned slightly.

"Dad, I didn't consider this matter thoroughly. My eighth brother and younger siblings were not ready when they came back, so they were wronged!" When he saw the old man not speaking, another uncle of Zhang Tie who was also sitting at the main table Also spoke quickly. The uncle who spoke at the back was the eldest son of the old man in the long room, named Zhang Lin, who was also the successor appointed by the old man in the future and the future parent of the large family sitting in.

At this time, Zhang Lin was naturally full of gestures.

"This time I came back too suddenly, and secondly, I didn’t want to bother my family too much, so I didn’t notify my eldest brother. Please don’t be offended by my eldest brother. It’s good for us to live on Xinhai Road now. There are three bedrooms and two halls, and one family is enough. Live!" Zhang Tie's father quickly explained.

The elders in the family all know how Zhang Tie’s dad came back this time, but no one talked about the elopement of Zhang Tie’s dad that year, everyone tacitly knew it, and it felt like Zhang Tie’s dad. I wandered outside for decades.

The old man looked at the face of Zhang Tie’s father who looked more vicissitudes of life than the other brothers. He didn’t say a word for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking. “I didn’t take care of you enough at home before. These years have caused you a lot of hardship. When you come back, you will be given 5% of the shares in the shipyard at home. This 5% of the shares will only participate in the shipyard’s dividends, not in the daily operation and management!"

Hearing what the old man said, Zhang Tie’s father stood up, looked at the old man, and said categorically, “Dad, the shipyard at home can be as large as it is today. It’s all because you and the older brothers have worked hard over the years. I’ve worked hard every bit. I’ve been away from home for the past few years, and I’ve never tried my best for the family. I’ve always felt ashamed. How can I still accept shares in the shipyard at this time? I will definitely not want these shares. If you insist, Dad, you are forcing our family to leave Jinhai City!"

Zhang Tie had never discovered that his father had such a man and a spine-looking side. After seeing his father said these things, he turned his head to look at him and his brother. Zhang Tie's mouth did not speak, but his face was open. With a bright smile, quietly under the table gave Dad a thumbs up. Zhang Tie's older brother also smiled and nodded to his father. Seeing the appearance of the two sons, Zhang Ping's heart warmed and he almost shed tears.

Zhang Tie saw his mother smile, and gently held his father's hand under the table. The older brother quietly patted his sister-in-law's leg twice.

After looking at Zhang Ping seriously for half a minute, the old man was relieved again and sighed in disappointment.

"Master, since Zhang Ping doesn't want the shares in the shipyard, then just give him the house in Changman, and let their family have a place to stay in Jinhai City. Zhang Ping's two children also It’s time to get married and start a business. If the master has this heart, it won’t be too late to help your two grandchildren in the future!” The old lady in the long room sitting next to the master said leisurely.

The old man's eyebrows moved, and after one glance at Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang, he nodded slowly.

"Big Brother, if you don't even accept a house, then you don't know where to put the rest of the family?" Zhang Lin also said.

"Thank you Dad, I will accept the house, and our family will move in tomorrow!" Zhang Tie's father said after thinking about it, and sat down again. The uncle at the same table also nodded. .

I don't know if it was an illusion. Zhang Tie felt that when his father took the house, many people in the room were relieved, and the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became lively and harmonious.

"Zhang Yang, I heard that you just retired, do you have any plans in the future?" The old man turned his gaze to Zhang Yang again, asking half-concern and half-sophisticated.

Zhang Yang had discussed this issue with Zhang Tie in the past two days, and Zhang Yang had already decided, "Huaiyuan County has developed commerce and trade and gathers many products from the East and the West. I am planning to prepare a firm for trading!"

"Are there financial difficulties?" The old man asked directly.

"There is no difficulty, I will start small, first set up a store in Jinhai City, and slowly manage and find out the way. I believe I will succeed!" Zhang Yang replied calmly.

The old man nodded, and no one in the room laughed at Zhang Yang's low start, because the old man often said that people who can keep their feet on the ground, as long as they look for the direction, it is only a matter of time to walk to a high place.

"What about Zhang Tie, what plans do you have in 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 was quiet again. Everyone's eyes were on Zhang Tie. There was surprise, surprise, envy, and shock. Everyone sitting there Everyone knows where Qianlongtang is. As the name suggests, it is the place of Qianlong for the entire Huaiyuantang Zhang family. The descendants of the Zhang family who can enter here and finally come out will eventually become the pillars of the family. Almost all of the elders who can enter the Clan Presbyterian Church, those who are in charge of the cardinals and authority in Huaiyuan Hall, almost all come from Qianlong Hall.

Since Zhang Tie had already explained this plan with his parents yesterday, the people in Zhang Tie’s family were not surprised. Originally, Zhang Tie thought that his parents would oppose him, but they did not expect that they would support him. Of this decision.

"Okay, okay, okay..." The old man laughed, "I can't imagine that among my descendants of Zhang Haitian, two of my ancestors' bloodlines can be awakened and entered the family Qianlong Hall, hahahaha..."

"Your cousin is also in Qianlongtang. He didn't come back today. If you go this time, you can get close to him..." Zhang Lin also said with a smile, seemed very happy, but Zhang Tie felt that this uncle was happy. In my eyes, there seems to be something else...
