At first glance, when Nuiz saw the price of 250 taels of silver per person on the list, he was very unimpressed; The Dutch, who are still in habitual thinking, naturally do not think that they can buy "foreign workers" at this price. You know, this is not even 300% profitable, and the high cost has not decreased: from West Africa to East Asia, the mortality rate of sailors is normally the same as that of going to the Americas, and the same is true for slaves.

But when he understood the meaning of Cai Feiming's words, he instantly saw a huge profit growth point: yes, Javanese, Malays, Andamanies, Sundanese, Makassar...... These innumerable natives of South Asia, these short and lazy natives, all turned into gold coins at this moment.

Batavia spends a huge amount of money every year on the suppression of the local Javanese, and the number of indigenous tribes and tribes that have perished in the company's control of the Spice Islands is too large to count, because there are so many that it is only recorded when more than 10,000 natives are killed at once, such as the Bandas.

Is there a "boarding price" of 390 guilders for the indigenous people of South Asia? Surely not, these Nanyang dwarfs who are crowded with Batavia's prisons and slums, 100 guilders (about 25 taels of silver) is probably enough, maybe 50 guilders?

Is there a high mortality rate for the transport of indigenous people in the South Seas? It certainly won't be very high, because the sea distance from Batavia to Dacheng is very short, there will be no sinking of three ships, and the cabin can be stuffed with as many people as possible, in this case......

Nouiz's brain was frantically calculating at this moment: the list was 250 taels of silver/person's "CIF price", and the total cost of a "foreign worker" would not exceed 30 taels of silver per person anyway, so that 350 people could be safely loaded on the ship, and even if 50 people died on the road, then the net profit of 300 people would be more than 65,000 taels of silver, oh my God...... If you run a few more boats a year...... Oh, Jesus Christ!

"Patents, we need a slave trade patent certificate issued by the Lord!" Nuiz didn't hide it at this moment, and shouted to Cai Feiming with red eyes.

"There is a license, but there is no patent certificate." Cai Feiming explained: "VOC is the first force to establish normal diplomatic relations with our side, and the other two countries Spain and Portugal do not currently have normal diplomatic relations with the big players, so in the current situation, you have a first-mover advantage...... I personally estimate that at least for the next year, VOC has an invisible monopoly. ”

......

It took all his strength for Nouriz to force himself to look at the next item on the list: "Oh, rice, unlimited rice." ”

This commodity is in stock in Batavia, which is not a big problem. "If there is a large demand in the future, the Ming people can open up more paddy fields outside Batavia, anyway, those dwarves outside the city will be sold sooner or later, and the land will be vacated." Nouz thought.

Since the occupation of Batavia, the Dutch have been tempting and capturing Ming people to settle in Batavia for many years, and have appointed Han Chinese "Kapitan (captain)" to administer it. Because the Ming people were hardworking and hardworking, they could do anything, and they were completely two species from the local natives, and the Dutch could get taxes and goods from them.

"What, you actually tax spices?" When Nouz saw the next item, he couldn't help but shout again.

"How fresh is that, do you think that the big man is the same as Nagasaki, a duty-free port?" Cai Feiming sneered, then chopped his fingers on the table, raised his eyebrows and said to Nuiz: "Rice is the only tax-free, not only tax-free, but you must ship the amount we stipulate every year in the future." The rest of the goods are taxed, but the tax rate is different, you see that the tax rate for leather and saltpeter is very low, and you actually have to make money. ”

Nouz looked down at the long list of goods and saw that they were basically raw materials: wool, leather, various tropical mahogany, as well as cotton, wrought iron, copper, saltpeter.

Cai Feiming began to explain to him one by one: the master needs all kinds of leather, buffalo leather, crocodile leather, sheepskin, deerskin, pigskin, donkey skin is not refused, these coarse goods include mahogany and cotton, if Batavia is not enough locally, there is a rich supply of goods in India next door.

As for all kinds of metals, it is not mandatory to cross the public, and it is okay to have it or not.

Saltpeter is the focus: saltpeter has the lowest tax rate of all commodities and the purchase price is high. Cai Feiming told the Dutch that as long as they were on the coast of Bengal, they could buy fine saltpeter from the local princely states - it was not for nothing that the Wolmore Empire was frequently deflated in the region. In addition, the British have already begun to build trading houses in Madras (Chennai), where there should also be a supply of goods.

Seeing this enthusiastic person from the Ming Kingdom giving a lecture on how to obtain South Asian products, the Dutch on the other side of the negotiation table suddenly felt disobedient. Only Comrade Van der Hagen, who knows the most about the crossers, has a calm expression on his face: he knows that this group of regents controls some black markets and kleptist fraternities in the Ming Kingdom, and it is understandable that he has a little South Asian intelligence.

......

In short, the bilateral negotiations, which lasted until the next day, were finally agreed upon despite a slight stumble on the way. Peter Noyz argued with each other and finally won the East India Company a document that he had no right to decide, as well as a shipload of goods.

The agreement is divided into two documents.

The first document was an armistice agreement: the two sides agreed to define the exchange of fire that took place some time ago as a "conflict", and decided to return each other's prisoners from the date of the agreement, end the conflict, and restore normal trade relations.

In addition, VOC announced that it would give up its ownership of Dayuan Island and the surrounding area, and at the same time announced that it would give up its right of recourse against the silver deposit of the merchant hall and the merchant hall itself.

The document was initialed by Cai Feiming, a representative of the West Kunlun Trade and Development Corporation, and Peter Noiz, a representative of the United East India Company, and later that day, CEO Xia Xianze signed the document on behalf of the company's board of directors, and now it only needs to be signed by Governor Jane Pieterszon Cohen of Batavia before the agreement is officially established.

......

The second document was a trade agreement: the crossing party agreed to advance a portion of the goods, including raw silk, to the Slotten, of which Noiz was temporarily captained, to transport the goods back to Batavia. The Dutch side promised that in 1628, the goods on the demand list would be entered into the general staff to offset the purchase price and interest, and the Dutch side would pay the shortfall in cash.

The crossing party promises: from now on, Dayuan Port will allow Dutch trading ships to berth and trade, and in the future, it will ensure the timely and sufficient supply of VOC to Ming commodities including raw silk and porcelain.

The Dutch side is committed to opening the ports under the VOC rule in Southeast Asia as well as ensuring the supply of commodities to the best of its ability.

The two sides agreed to set up commercial halls for each other.

The numerical details of the above entries are detailed in the Appendix.
