The four rules set by the Tianjin Ocean Trade Company were also quickly spread throughout the Beijing and Tianjin regions, and the Ming Morning Post announced in detail the time, route, itinerary and several rules set by the Tianjin Ocean Trade Bank in the most conspicuous and eye-catching position.

All of a sudden, the whole Tianjin was in turmoil.

Not only are powerful capitalists, big merchants, trading houses, fleets, etc. hurrying to prepare to go to the South Seas, but even some weak people are planning to go to the South Seas with them.

Inside a house in the Moon Bay community of Tianjin New Town.

"Wang Gensheng, what do you say?"

"You have an idea, do we want to go to the South Seas with us?"

In Wang Gensheng's house, five people sat together, Tang Mazi looked at Wang Gensheng and said.

Wang Gensheng and Tang Mazi are the first batch of students to graduate from Tianjin Maritime College, and the income of seafarers is very high, and they are the first to enter, so now they are at least at the level of deputy captain.

Some of them are so good that they have even become their own bosses, bought their own ships, opened ocean-going trading firms, and specialized in taking the routes of the Japanese and North Korea, and one by one they have become prosperous.

Not long ago, Wang Gensheng, Tang Mazi, Yao Ding, Zhao Li, and Shi Wenlong also partnered together to buy a galleon from the First Bank of Daming to buy a galleon from Tianjin Shipyard, which can be regarded as embarking on the road of starting their own business and becoming their own boss.

However, the boat of the five people was bought relatively late, and so far it has only been a trip to the Wa Kingdom, barely earning more than 100,000 taels of silver, and still owing a loan of tens of thousands of taels of silver to the First Bank of Daming.

It stands to reason that they should be more satisfied, because as long as they go to the Wa Kingdom again, they can pay off the loan owed to the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty, and then they can wait for the silver to roll in.

However, the recent trip to the Wa Kingdom also made Wang Gensheng, Tang Mazi, and Yao Ding realize a problem, that is, the business of going to North Korea and the Wa Kingdom is becoming more and more difficult to do, and the risk is getting bigger and bigger.

One is that the competition is too fierce, everyone's profits are constantly weakening, the markets of North Korea and the Japanese are becoming saturated, the market is so big, everyone does it, and naturally they can't make much money.

The other is that the Wa Kingdom is becoming more and more chaotic, and at this time, the Wa Kingdom has almost entered the Warring States Period, and the daimyo in various places are divided into one side and fight each other, making the entire Wa Kingdom extremely chaotic.

As a result, there were many wandering samurai who had lost their owners and became Japanese warriors, robbing passing merchant ships on the routes of the Japanese Kingdom and North Korea, and a merchant ship was looted not long ago, and the owner of this merchant ship happened to know each other, and it was also a ship of students in Tianjin or the same period of the academy.

It can be said that it was ransacked, and everything was in vain, and even his life could not be saved.

If it weren't for the fact that the ships of the Tianjin Ocean Trade Line were very domineering, every time they encountered the Japanese pirates and pirates, they would have pissed each other's buttocks, which dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of these Japanese pirates, otherwise there would be no way to go through the routes of North Korea and the Japanese countries now.

Realizing this, this time Tianjin Ocean Trade Company was going to Nanyang to open up the Nanyang route, and they knew that the opportunity was coming, and this was a very rare opportunity.

"What do you say?"

Wang Gensheng looked at Tang Mazi, Yao Ding, Zhao Li, and Shi Wenlong, thought about it and asked.

"Fight~"

"There is no reason not to take advantage of such a good opportunity."

Yao Ding gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, fight, although we only have one ship, but as long as this trip is good, I believe that after coming back, our fleet can add a few new ships, and we are familiar with the Nanyang route, and we will not take the Japanese route in the future, and specialize in the more profitable Nanyang route."

"This Nanyang region can also go to South Asia, Arabia, and even Europe in the future, didn't Liu Gongzi say that in this European region, our silk can be equal to gold, and this spice is also more expensive than gold in Europe."

"After we are familiar with the South Sea route, we can take more routes in the future, there are more choices, and there is a lot of room for future development, and we can also go to Africa, which produces gems, ivory, and gold."

"The profit of a round trip is at least dozens of times, or even hundreds of times, which is much more profitable than taking the routes of the Japanese and North Korea."

Zhao Li thought about it and nodded and said.

His words also made the others nod their heads, which is why everyone wanted to follow after the Tianjin Ocean Trade Company opened up the Nanyang route.

Because it's not just for the profit this time, but also for the future.

The geographical location of the Nanyang region is too important, you can go to Australia, and you can go to South Asia, Arabia, Africa, and Europe to the west. Small composition

"But we're on a ship, and we're still in arrears with a bank loan, if anything happens......"

Wang Gensheng thought about it and hesitated.

"What's wrong with a ship?"

"Our ship is a ship from Tianjin Shipyard, there is absolutely no problem with the quality, as for the navigation technology, the five of us are all old sailors, and we dare not say anything else, there is absolutely no problem to keep up with the ships of the Tianjin Ocean Trade Company."

"Anyway, didn't Tianjin Ocean Trade Company say it here, as long as you abide by those four rules, anyone can follow you, and there is no limit to how big the scale must be, and how many ships must be allowed to go to the South Seas."

Tang Mazi said immediately.

"Yes, a ship is a ship, and with the Tianjin Ocean Trade Company in front, those pirates and pirates don't dare to provoke us at all."

"And I've heard that Liu Gongzi is planning to organize a clean-up operation, preparing to clean up the Japanese and pirates on the routes between the Japanese and North Korea."

"In the future, the pirates and pirates in the Nanyang region will definitely be wiped out by Liu Gongzi, this route, if we don't occupy the nest now, we won't have our share in the future."

Yao Ding also nodded and said.

"Okay, since everyone said so, then we'll fight this time."

Wang Gensheng thought about it, and also shook his head and said.

"That's right, we're all seafarers, while we're young, if we don't fight now, when will we fight?"

When Tang Mazi heard this, he immediately patted Wang Gensheng's shoulder happily.

"Come, let's go together, total, what preparations should we make if we go to the Nanyang region."

Wang Gensheng smiled, and then took out a map.

"This Nanyang region is relatively close to our Ming Dynasty, and it has always been monopolized by big merchants and big families in the south, so if you go to the Nanyang area, although the profits of our Ming silk, porcelain and other things are also quite high, they must be limited."

"So I think that in terms of our selection and preparation of goods, we can bring less traditional goods such as silk, porcelain, and tea, and we should bring more goods that can be sold at a good price."

"What you said is very reasonable, and this time there are a lot of caravans to the Nanyang region, and the goods brought by everyone are basically the same, and the prices of tea, silk, porcelain, cloth, etc. in Tianjin have all risen."

"In my opinion, we can bring more glass products to the Nanyang area."

Yao Ding suggested after pondering.

"No, no, glass products are too expensive, we have limited funds on hand, we can't buy many glass products at all, and this glass factory is opened by Liu Gongzi, this Tianjin Ocean Trade Company will definitely bring a large number of glass products to Nanyang, we can't keep up."

"In my opinion, we can bring some ironware from the Miyun Iron Works and sugar from Ryukyu City to the Nanyang area, these two things are very popular even in our Daming."

"I once heard that if this sugar could be shipped to Europe, it would be worth more than gold, and sugar is a luxury item on a global scale."

"At present, as long as we are in the Ming Dynasty, only Ryukyu City can produce sugar on a large scale, and we will definitely be able to sell it at a good price if we bring more sugar in the past~"

"The same is true for ironware, the price of iron in Miyun Iron Factory is very low, not to mention selling to the Nanyang region, even if it is sold to North Korea and the Japanese country, the profit is quite high, and it is very popular.

"These two things are good, but this sugar is very expensive, and iron is not cheap, and our funds are very tight, so it is not easy to do things."

"If you don't have any silver, you can borrow it, you can take out a loan~"

"We can actually rent out some of our cabins to maximize our profits, and I think there must be some people who don't own ships who are willing to lend us money or rent our cabins."

"Yes, yes, I heard two days ago that Boss Tang wanted to go to Nanyang, but he didn't have a ship, and he had a lot of silver and goods in his hands, so he could only be in a hurry."
