Chapter 479, Two Dangers to the South Seas
Hearing Shou Ning's words to Zhang Yanling, Cui Wenjin nodded slightly, then stood up and nodded slightly to the people around him, and the other party immediately understood, and quickly took out a map to hang it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time our Tianjin Ocean Trade Company was going to go to Nanyang alone and open up the Nanyang route, but since everyone knows, we don't mind taking it with us to Nanyang."
"Of course, there are no rules, and all the trading houses, fleets or individuals who want to follow them to the South Seas must abide by the rules."
Cui Wenjin looked at everyone, and Liu Jin deliberately let the wind go out to open up the Nanyang route of the Tianjin Ocean Trade Bank, the purpose of which was to let everyone go to the Nanyang region to make a fortune together.
In Liu Jin's view, the silver in the world is inexhaustible, and it is the truth that more people can earn more silver, and more people will support the emerging capitalism, so that there will be more sufficient motivation to promote the continuous external expansion of the Ming Dynasty.
Hearing Cui Wenjin's words, everyone also nodded slightly, this is also what everyone expected, Tianjin Ocean Trade is willing to play, this is already very good, there must be rules, so that everyone can rest assured, and even everyone is actually ready to be slaughtered.
As long as Tianjin Ocean Trade Company doesn't go too far, everyone is willing to buy a ticket to go to the Nanyang area to have a fun.
"The rules of our Tianjin Ocean Trade Company are very simple, not many, only the following points."
Cui Wenjin's words also made everyone prick up their ears and listen carefully, for fear of missing every word in it.
"First, all fleets, trading houses, and individuals who want to follow to the Nanyang region must obey the command of our Tianjin Ocean Trade Fleet, and must not act without authorization, and if they want to leave or return early, they must also get our permission."
"Second, we Tianjin Ocean Trade Bank are not responsible for everyone's fleet, if your fleet has problems at sea or something, all losses will be borne by ourselves."
"Third, all caravans and fleets going to the Nanyang region, the selling price of everyone's goods in the Nanyang region must be consistent, and the price must not be maliciously lowered."
"Fourth, if you encounter pirates or Japanese nations during the voyage, all ships must obey the command of our Tianjin Ocean Trade Company."
Cui Wenjin's voice was very loud and clear, everyone present heard it clearly, and everyone nodded while listening, these requirements were not excessive, and there was no overlord clause that everyone expected.
"As long as you are willing to abide by the above four rules, then as long as you are willing to go to the South Seas fleet, caravans, and individuals, we are very welcome in Tianjin Ocean Trade Company."
"We Tianjin Ocean Trade Bank has always been based on the principle of making money together, and we are very happy to go overseas with you to earn more wealth."
Cui Wenjin looked at everyone and said with a smile.
This is also what Liu Jin said to him, and Liu Jin has always practiced the same, everyone earns money together, and these businesses are getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people making money.
"That's all there is to it?"
Xu Long asked in disbelief, these are too simple.
"Yes, that's all."
"Whether you want to go or not is voluntary, whether you can earn silver after going to Nanyang, whether you will lose money, this is also everyone's own responsibility, our Tianjin Ocean Trade Bank is just playing a leading role, everyone is willing to follow, then go overseas to make a fortune together, we don't want to force it."
Cui Wenjin nodded and replied.
"The conditions are very relaxed~"
After hearing this, Zhang Heling, the uncle of Jianchang, also nodded slightly, and at the same time, he had to wonder if Liu Jin had a problem with his brain, or if he was really a good person.
Such a good opportunity, if he were to do it.
Not to mention anything else, if you want to go to Nanyang with you, each family will pay tens of thousands of taels of silver first, this is called a ticket, otherwise who will play when you go.
Then if you want to go to Nanyang, you have to buy my ship, how many goods to buy in my many industries, etc., in short, you have to maximize your own interests, how can there be a free lunch in the world.
This Liu Jin is good, the conditions are so simple, and it can even be said that he took everyone to the Nanyang region to make a fortune in vain, which is simply sacrificing himself for others.
He knew that in order to open up the Nanyang route this time, Liu Jin had made a lot of preparations, and he invested millions of taels of silver, and now he was willing to take everyone to the Nanyang region for free. 61 Library
I really can't figure it out~
However, if he can't figure it out, he can't figure it out, but this doesn't prevent him from following him to the Nanyang region to make a fortune.
"Let me tell you about our itinerary, our fleet of Tianjin Ocean Trade Company is expected to officially set sail for the Nanyang region in half a month, that is, on February 15, the thirteenth year of Hongzhi."
"So if you want to go along, you can be prepared during this time, prepare the ship, the cargo, the corresponding nautical supplies, and so on."
"In addition, the whole voyage is expected to take about eight months, we will first arrive at Ryukyu Castle on the Ryukyu Island, and after resupplying here in Ryukyu Castle, we will go directly to Luzon, and then Luzon will go to Annam and Siam, and finally arrive in the Strait of Malacca area, and then decide whether to continue to South Asia and Arabia according to the situation."
Cui Wenjin smiled, and then took out a small wooden stick and began to explain the formation arrangement of this time to the huge map behind him.
Going to the South Seas is completely different from going to the Golden Continent.
The risk of going to the South Seas is small, the voyage is short, and there is land along the way, which can be replenished and rested at any time, and there are countries along the way.
Even in fact, it is more convenient to go to Nanyang from Fujian and Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also closer, if you want to be safe, you can also take the route of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Annam, and go south along the coastline, which is the safest route.
Even without the many advanced navigation techniques and experience taught by Liu Jin, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty often traveled back and forth to the Nanyang region, and the big merchants and big families in the Jiangnan region have always monopolized this business, so they made a lot of money.
There are only two dangers to travel to the South Seas.
One is the robbery of pirates and pirates, and the other is typhoon.
In the Nanyang region and the Ming Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang regions, the pirates and pirates are very rampant, and there are many large and small pirate groups and pirates, some of which are very powerful, and they specialize in occupying an important route to collect tolls, and all the caravans going to the Nanyang region must honestly pay the tolls, otherwise there is no way to do business.
There are also some who are very weak, just a few broken ships, and they also dare to rob the passing merchant ships here, and under a profitable deal, as long as they succeed once, it is enough for them to eat for a long time.
The composition of these pirates and pirates is also very complex, there are fishermen in the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty who gradually turned into pirates, there are also pirates from the Wa Kingdom and Korea formed by wandering samurai, and there are also pirates from the South Seas region.
In addition, these pirates and pirates often have close ties with the big families and big merchants in the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty and the Jiangnan region, and many of them are even supported by these big families and big businessmen and used to monopolize the financial route.
In fact, there are many people in Daming who know that it is very profitable to go to the Nanyang region to do business, and the silk, porcelain, and tea of the Ming Dynasty are very valuable in the Nanyang area, and a piece of silk can be sold for a few taels of gold.
The same ivory, jewelry, jade, etc. in the Nanyang region are also more expensive than gold in the Ming Dynasty, ivory is very common in the Nanyang region, but it is a rare thing in the Ming Dynasty, and only the real nobles can afford it.
This comes and goes, and the profits are amazing.
It's just that even if you know that going to the Nanyang region is very profitable, everyone doesn't dare to go, one is that the imperial court has been routinely banning the sea, except for the official fleet, you can't go to sea, and it's illegal to even go out to sea to fish.
The second is that there are many pirates and pirates in the Nanyang region, and these people often collude with big families and big businessmen, and if anyone goes to the Nanyang region, they will quickly know.
As long as it is not his own people, he will definitely be looted by these pirates and pirates, not only will he lose all his money, but even people will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
Over time, the huge trade profits to the Nanyang region were controlled by the big families and merchants in the Jiangnan region, and only their ships could safely travel to and from the Nanyang region, eating with a mouth full of oil.
Apart from pirates and pirates, the biggest risk is typhoons.
Typhoons are very common in the western Pacific region, from the southernmost Guangxi and Qiongzhou of the Ming Dynasty to the northernmost Liaodong region, and even to the North Korea and Waguo regions, typhoons are still a must-see thing every year.
It is said that the Mongol Empire sent large armies to conquer the Wa Kingdom several times because of typhoons, so when sailing in this area, ships were very important and luck was also very important.
Liu Jin from later generations is still very clear about typhoons, knowing that the most frequent seasons for typhoons are summer and autumn, and now it is winter, it is very safe to go to the Nanyang region, and when you come back, it is also in winter, and the safety is guaranteed.
Of course, if you frequently travel to and from the Nanyang region in the future, you still have to constantly sum up your experience for typhoons and grasp the laws of typhoons, after all, there is no meteorological technology in later generations, and you can use satellites to detect typhoons in space.
Everyone listened carefully to Cui Wenjin's explanation of the itinerary, which is very important, because it is related to how everyone should prepare.
At the same time, someone hurriedly ran downstairs and said a few rules that Cui Wenjin said, and suddenly everyone on the entire seventh floor couldn't help cheering, this condition was too relaxed, and many people who were originally worried that their strength was not enough to go to the Nanyang region secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
