Chapter 214 Doing business is about demand and capital

Wan's Villa.

"Then Emperor Zhi Pengge not only did not fight with the plundering fleet, but also signed a treaty with them?"

After Wan Shan looked at the news that came back, she felt a little unable to turn around.

"Brother Wan, tell me, are we mistaken? Those people are really Meng Yuan's fleet."

Zhou Dexing asked Wan Shanhou.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Meng Yuan is far away in Mobei. How can the fleet sail there? I don't know what's going on. Don't we know?"

"This must be the Ming Dynasty's own fleet, turning Peng Ge around."

Wan Shanhou shook his head.

"Then...should we inform Zipeng of this situation?"

Zhou Dexing asked hesitantly.

"What's in it for us if we tell him?"

"Do you want him to dare not fight with Yue again?"

"No, we must let Zhipengge continue to fight with Yue, and let the situation in Vietnam affect the energy of Ming Dynasty."

"If Ming Dynasty can make money by occupying the country, so can we."

"We will sell what Ming Dynasty dares to sell, and we will sell even more what Ming Dynasty dares not to sell!"

"Go and take out all the Ming Dynasty Shenwei cannons we imitated, keep enough for our artillery, and sell the rest to occupy the country."

"Didn't Xiao Han want to make money by selling both sides?"

"If he sells, we will sell too. It depends on whether he, the big brother in charge of planning, gets the most out of it, or whether we, the outsiders, take advantage."

Wan Shanhou said calmly.

"Well, okay, I will make arrangements."

"Brother Wan, when do you think Bago will take action?"

Zhou Dexing nodded.

"I can't tell for sure."

"However, before they get this wave of help from Ming Dynasty disguised as Meng Yuan, they will most likely not take risks."

"After all, Ping Yeyu doesn't have to put himself on the gambling table just to destroy us."

"That Sifu Xiuji is not a good person. Of course he wants to get rid of us, but he also wants the half of the country in the south."

"Brother Zhou, from my understanding, there is no difference between countries and merchants doing business. As long as we understand the needs of each party, we will always be invincible."

"There is no business that cannot be done in the world, it's just that you haven't found the right way of cooperation and the right partner, just like the navies of those countries, but the prerequisite for others to cooperate with you is that you have enough qualifications. If We don’t have that much wealth, and those people won’t cooperate with us.”

"So you must pay close attention to the military training of our escort team."

Wan Shanhou said.

"how about you?"

Zhou Dexing asked.

"I heard that the Ming Dynasty recently developed a new method of making iron. It is very powerful. It uses tens of thousands of kilograms of refined iron that does not require much hammering."

"I'm trying to find a way to get this technology these days. If we have this technology, we can save a lot of craftsmen to do other things."

Wan Shanhou said.

"Is the Ming Dynasty's iron smelting really that powerful?"

"Isn't it a bait that Ming deliberately released to trick us into showing his face?"

Zhou Dexing questioned.

"It's certainly possible, but it's also possible that it's true."

"After all, Xiao Han, as the editor-in-chief of the Hongwu Canon, knows a lot about astronomy and geography, is familiar with hundreds of schools of thought, and knows all three religions. I would be very suspicious if someone else had come up with it, but if he had come up with it, it wouldn't be very strange. "

Wan Shanhou said to Zhou Dexing.

"If it's him, that's true."

Zhou Dexing also nodded in agreement.

"Report!"

"Master, the latest news."

"The Kingdom of Yue and the Kingdom of Zhan are at war, and a few days ago, the fleet you asked us to pay attention to encountered the Boni Navy at sea."

"Almost the entire Boni Navy was wiped out, but the fleet also suffered a heavy blow of 20% and has turned around and returned."

At this moment, a spy ran in and said to Wan Shanhou.

"Oh?"

"Sure enough, Bo Ni is much stronger than the Navy of Zhan Kingdom."

"This is the right opportunity that I've been waiting for for a long time, but I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for a short time."

"He doesn't have a chance, that means we have a chance. Brother Zhou, except for the next few big plans and the normal operation of our caravan, invest all the money in military construction that I can."

Queen Wan Shan chuckled.

Wuliangha Plain.

Two horses ride side by side.

"General Lan, did you also receive orders from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the British Duke to come and destroy those savages?"

Mao Xiang asked Lan Yu.

"Nonsense, it's not our army that is responsible for the annihilation. How can we rely on you, the royal guards?"

Lan Yu said coldly.

"General Lan, what you said is wrong."

"Those savages are running around in the mountains and rivers, and their main job is to catch people. For this matter, our Jinyi Guards are more suitable than your army."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave me an order to ask you to cooperate with me."

Mao Xiang smiled at Lan Yu.

"Humph!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to cooperate with you."

"But the original words were to cooperate with you in taking advantage of others."

"You see, in addition to 'cooperating' and 'acting cheaply', I also have autonomy here."

Lan Yu quibbled.

"General Lan, when we work together, it's not fun to let our staff just keep talking about words, isn't it?"

The corners of Mao Xiang's mouth twitched slightly.

He guessed that Lan Yu, with her arrogant heart, would not be very cooperative, but he did not expect to be so uncooperative. "If you say it, you say it. Can you still pretend that you haven't said it yet?"

"Why don't you hurry up and ask His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Lan Yu raised her eyebrows.

Mao Xiang:…

Ask Zhu Biao?

What the hell?

If he sent an urgent message to Zhu Biao because of this matter, Zhu Biao would probably tell him not to do it.

"How about this".

"I know that you also came from the military. Although you are in Jinyiwei now, we can still fight for the Ming Dynasty together."

"We won't embarrass you. Ahead is our Ming Dynasty's largest trading market here. There are restaurants opened by the British government."

"You go have a drink with me. If you can survive thirty rounds of wine in our hands, I will listen to you. If not, you will listen to me."

Lan Yu said to Mao Xiang.

Although he looked down on Mao Xiang in his heart, after all, it was written in Zhu Biao's instructions that if he wanted to take the initiative, it would not be possible to do it forcefully, so he had to find a way to suppress Mao Xiang.

Mao Xiang:…

If you’re not a buddy, are you kidding me?

Do you really think I haven’t drank the kind of wine that the British government has?

With that thing, can you drink it for thirty rounds?

"it is good!"

Mao Xiang nodded. Military people generally like to drink.

Although Mao Xiang joined Jinyiwei, his drinking capacity is not bad.

If it comes to martial arts competition, he is a little frightened when facing Lan Yu's level, but he is really not afraid of drinking.

"readily!"

"go!"

Lan Yu roared loudly, pulled the reins of the horse, and galloped away.

Occupy the country.

"Is this... a fight?"

Wang Jing looked at the smoke-filled coastline in front of him and his eyelids twitched.

After receiving Xiao Han's order for them to come directly to Zhanguo to eat and drink, he came directly here.

I thought it was just a simple meal, but as a businessman, Wang Jing was well versed in this.

But... Xiao Han's secret order didn't say there was a fight here.

This…

They were at war, but you came over and said that you wanted to help me eat. Isn't this inappropriate?

"Just hit him."

"Let's do ours."

"We're not really eating and drinking, so why aren't we selling them supplies?"

Yu Tongyuan's urn sounded like a urn.

"No ..."

"Forget it, General Yu, I will tell you when the time comes, but don't say anything."

Wang Jing sighed softly.

I thought it would be better if you didn't mention those deals, we still have something to talk about. If we bring that thing up, eight of the ten ministers will object to it.

You eat, drink, and work hard to make money. You have taken advantage of all this.

Even though Wang Jing is a senior businessman with a thick skin as thick as a city wall, he would still feel a little embarrassed when doing such an advantageous business.

This business is too shady... No, it's too successful.

If one day Zhi Pengge knew what was going on, he would probably sit on the ground and cry.

"Why is Mr. Wang back again?"

While occupying the city, Zhi Pengge withdrew from the battlefield and met with Wang Jing and Yu Tongyuan again.

"Cough cough!"

"Your Majesty, I, Dayuan, came here because the mountains are high and the roads are far away. Japanese pirates are rampant here. After we traveled thousands of miles, we realized that we occupy the best country."

"Although we have asked Helin City for permission to establish a commercial embassy in our Champa City, what does Your Majesty think?"

Wang Jing coughed twice and said to Zipeng.

"Um…"

"Can I understand that this embassy is just for your mission?"

"What does this commercial embassy mean?"

Zhi Pengge was a little confused.

"Those of us are also responsible for handling commercial transactions between the two countries, so it is considered a separate organization in your country."

Wang Jing explained solemnly.

"Mr. Wang."

"What do you mean by this? What does it mean to occupy our country in name only?"

"Is it possible that I, Zhan Guo, will still be responsible for your expenses?"

Fan Youming, the prime minister of the occupying country, could not help but frown.

"Exactly."

"Dayuan Mountain is high and the road is far away, so supplies are difficult. As an friendly country, we can only seek help from your country. Your Majesty will not refuse to help, right?"

Wang smiled.

Listening to Wang Jing's shameless remarks.

Even the filial son, Peng Ge, looked a little unhappy. This was the first time I heard someone talk about eating and drinking in such a fresh and refined way.

"Mr. Wang."

"Then what can this organization bring to my country?"

Zhi Pengge looked at Wang Jing.

"We can help you maintain and manage the order of transactions between the two countries."

Wang Jing said naturally.

"you…"

Fan Youming almost yelled, but was interrupted by Zhi Pengge waving his hand.

It’s not like I don’t have a court in the occupied country, so I need you to maintain order?

"Mr. Wang, if businessmen from Dayuan do business in our country, they don't pay taxes. This..."

Zhi Pengge hesitated to speak, but he deliberately refused. Even though Wang Jing and Yu Tongyuan suffered a lot of losses at sea, there were still dozens of ships with tens of thousands of people left, and almost all of them were men in their prime. Each one of them could eat. .

You must know that the entire army of the occupying country is only tens of thousands. This is equivalent to directly adding a burden of less than half of the army to the occupying country, and it does not pay taxes or contribute to the occupying country.
