In a sense, the Dutch East India Company created many firsts in human history.

The first Fortune 500 company to top the list, the first company to hair stocks, and the richest company in the world today...... Well, if you don't count the Presbyterian Church, its various ideas can not only give full play to people's subjective initiative to go overseas to smash, loot, burn and plunder, but also be relatively fair, and the profits can be purchased fairly from those who work and rob to those who buy stocks.

According to the information, if a traveler travels to 1600 and has no other skills, then don't wait, boy, buy all your money into shares of the East India Company, and then wait to eat dividends, and it is enough to eat for two hundred years, according to the historical context, spend 1 yuan, and the total dividends you can get are more than 1,000 yuan.

The East India Company can be said to be engaged in all countries in the world, nothing more than a product used to bully the weak, but its power is amazing, in the case of the most famous British East India Company, the real promoter of the Opium War, the initiator, is by no means a government department, but this company, of course, the difference between the status of this company and state-owned enterprises is just a model of public ownership and state management.

Many times, it is the East India Company that is at war with countless countries, not this country, this is where their strength lies, although afterwards, the East India Company has collapsed, but it is a non-war crime, and in this era, even Xu Hao, an outsider, can understand the huge strength of the East India Company and the potential influence on the Netherlands in countless details.

Don't forget, the Dutch royal family itself is the majority shareholder of the East India Company, and they keep asking Xu Hao to sell his interests and pay compensation for the land.

You can't get around people in the Netherlands.

Xu Hao smiled bitterly and said: "I really don't have authority, besides, they are too close to our army, they went to the master's house to steal things, and were beaten by the nursing home, but they complained that the nursing home was too powerful, this is too shameless, I don't even bother to negotiate with them......"

"Xu, you have to understand, these Protestants have almost no morality, I don't think you have to waste time in the Netherlands, maybe you can consider going to other countries, here in the Netherlands, it's too cold......"

Eliza kept encouraging Xu Hao to go to Portugal, so she naturally had her own ideas.

Xu Hao's net worth is not a secret, the elders carefully selected the various technologies that are given away for free also have their value, and in Xu Hao's preaching, the promise of conquering death and sharing medical knowledge is also extremely high-profile, there is nothing too strict patent knowledge in this era, it is nothing more than that the British first played the industrial revolution, and then followed by the Germans, Americans and Japanese, the most ridiculous thing is that they basically rely on cottages to start, but after relying on cottages to rise, they in turn attack others are cottages.

Why go to great lengths to increase hygiene knowledge to Europeans?

You know, the disease of cold, itself is a proper Asian disease, or it was started by Chinese, and it has been accompanied by colds for thousands of years, and countless antibody protection has already grown.

And the Europeans were much later in getting hit by the disease of the cold, and of course, at about the same time, the strength of the Europeans was the resistance to syphilis......

Although the Indians died at the hands of the British, a considerable part of the cause of death was also related to the sudden attack by a large number of foreign viruses.

For the elders, the Europeans are a very good resource, not to mention how much benefit the formed team of scientists will be in the future, the mixed-race beauties mixed with the beauties of various races are also coveted, as long as the elders do not have a black heart to really destroy people, then they will inevitably be included in the rule in the future.

Therefore, among the various strong men who are said to be old, those people are asking the girls to serve themselves in vain, and for them, before ruling Europe, at least do a good job of sanitation.

In the future, there will be many infectious diseases in Europe, which is nothing more than because of its climate, geography, and complex flow of people, but the fundamental reason is still that it is not hygienic.

"I'm not going to the East India Company, there's really nothing to go, they don't have what I want......"

Xu Hao and the two women discussed for a while, although this Dutch place is not big, but it is intertwined, and its stock exchange is the financial center of the Netherlands and even Europe at this time, where countless wealth is reinvested and distributed, fundamentally speaking, this is also a symbol of wealth.

The exchange is in Amsterdam, but it is not very far, the reason why Xu Hao chose to visit here is that he "donated" the stamp equipment, of course, it is not a high-tech electronic device, but in the intercity marathon held when he was a child, the stamp that was stamped on the runner's hand at a fixed place to determine the mileage, don't look at this is a small thing, but it will have to wait for two hundred years to be invented, but for a place like the stock exchange, it is extremely convenient.

Xu Hao naturally has countless advanced things in his hands, but, in all fairness, in terms of economic structure, the Netherlands is definitely advanced and the capitalist system is incomparable, and there is no need to how, just need to mention it, several heads of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange have already understood it, and sighed at the wisdom of their Chinese counterparts.

Thinking of those people in the imperial capital who can only buy land and buy houses after making money, compare them, and you will know the approximately.

The so-called capitalist system may be cruel and backward, but compared to the original set, it is still much more advanced, not to mention anything else, when it comes to the habit of doing business, at this time, the people in the imperial capital have made a little money, and they are all trying to go back to their hometown to buy fields, which is also the most difficult.

Traversers can build great buildings, whether railways or cities, but they are the product of technology and capital, but it is difficult and difficult to change the perception of the people.

There is no electronic display screen, no automatic communication function, but the atmosphere is similar to the foreign exchanges seen on TV in later generations, all of them are stimulated by money, and the sound is not loud, but the bargaining is noisy one after another, Xu Hao is also interesting to watch, the Europeans of this period are almost the most similar to the elders.

Naturally, he didn't understand finance, but he looked at the people who traded Dutch government bonds and said, "What is the turnover in a day here?" ”

"The daily trading volume is about 500,000 guilders, and of course, there are big fluctuations in normal times......

Xu Hao knew that the guilder was similar to the silver dollar made by the elders, all of which were supported by silver as currency, and this number was considerable, especially under such flowing water, the profit was definitely not bad, he was in the Netherlands, and he didn't know that the imperial capital also started an exchange at this time, but not to mention the degree of excitement.

"Thanks to you, everyone is now confident in the future of the company, and both stocks and bonds are selling well."

The person in charge of the exchange is blonde and blue-eyed, but he is a Frenchman, it turns out that the Netherlands at this time is also a region with a large population flow, similar to New York and Shanghai in later generations, capable people of all ethnic groups ran here to brush their skills, the French are worthy of the ability of the usury empire of later generations, and financial talents emerge in endlessly, even if it is the future generations, the leader of European telecommunications fraud, is also ......

Xu Hao smiled and said: "I have my credit here, yes, in this case, I have to participate in the cooperation, but after thinking about it, I have nothing to do, there is too little I can do here." ”

"Shares of the East India Company are also sold here."

Xu Hao smiled, this company is really interesting, and said: "Then I want to buy shares, how much can I sell to me, thirty percent?" ”

He held a huge amount of money, so he disdained to buy such a little scattered shares, the Dutch East India Company, in this era, was almost the representative of the Netherlands, just like the British version of the East India Company that kidnapped the British, and the participation in the shares was definitely a big thing in the big things.

Of course, for this company, what Xu Hao knows, the attitude of the elders is hostility and hostility, for no other reason, their real opponents are not the European countries themselves, but with such an army, self-production capacity, and a profit circulation system, if one is not done well, it will often become the great enemy of the elders.

In later generations, someone explained the reason why Africa is poor, an African young man, returned from studying abroad, ready to show his strength in his hometown, he wants to open a factory, for the benefit of his hometown, if there is a factory, then feed the workers, pay the water army, and produce a positive cycle, it is not impossible, but the young man just built the factory, and found that the store opened by foreigners on the other side of the door sells good quality and cheap prices, even if it is transported from overseas, it is cheaper and better than the price produced here, in this case, who does not vomit blood?

The elders don't care at all, a hot-blooded white young man, who has completed his studies in China, rejected the temptation of a green card in China, and still returned to Europe to serve the motherland, such a single-handed, in front of the elders is no different from sending him to death, at least no one cares about the elders, what can you do when you go back?

The only thing that made them frown was that the East India Company was purely profit-oriented, had no sense of morality, and had no bottom line and no discipline, if it was really messy, it would really be the great enemy of the elders.

They can use their strategy to create a real headache in the military-industrial complex, which is definitely not new, and of course, if they can take a stake and control such a company, they can eat it bite by bite.

Delanco would never have imagined that he would be asked like this, if Xu Hao just took out a little spare money to buy some, it could naturally be used as a gimmick to promote, after all, in this era, the news is not smooth, and the East India Company's previous investment has just had a large-scale return, and it still needs to be consolidated, but Xu Hao opened his mouth to be thirty percent of the shares, which is difficult for some strongmen.

With more than 80 members on the board of directors, even the largest directors were only in the single digits, and after all, it was also a large company that had evolved over the decades, and paid more than double digits in dividends every year, making East India Company shares the most popular thing at the time.

However, the person in front of him is only going to sell advanced equipment.

However, later, Xu Hao was still well entertained.

The most famous diet of the Dutch is naturally the legendary canned herring, then really, if you love him, invite him to eat canned herring, after eating he will love life even more, if you hate him, invite him to eat canned herring, he will be in pain.

As for what cheese, what waffles, all kinds of chocolate, there are not many, in fact, in this era, most of the protein source of the Dutch is actually fish, as for the canned herring, the big killer weapon in the world, it will take time, but Xu Hao had heard about it before he came.

Today's banquet is very important, the trustee of the University of Amsterdam and others are invited, Xu Hao is naturally coming, a guy who is not even able to pass high school mathematics in school, is actually touted as a senior intellectual, Xu Hao has given continuous lectures in several universities in the Netherlands according to the script, and the performance is becoming more and more pure, and the experiments carried out by these professors have been completely successful, and even a large number of scholars from several surrounding countries have braved the wind and snow to come here.

It can be said that the task of co-opting the European military, the aristocracy, the East Indian and other business groups is basically difficult, but it is the easiest to win over these intellectuals.

"Mr. Xu, how about giving my country some more places, your country recruits international students, you can't always follow personal preferences, my country has many outstanding students, but the number of places is limited, it's really a bit unfair."

"But I have to be fair to the students of the latter countries, don't I, you see, although the King of France, Comrade Louis XIV, is only eight years old, but he also understands the importance of science, well, of course, it was the Prince of Condé who really invited me."

Luther Basten smiled and said, "The French, they do things in a mess, it's really hard to say anything......"

Xu Hao understands in his heart that it is this mentality of having no one in his eyes that causes France to scold you most of the time, of course, the relationship between these royal families in Europe also makes Xu Hao look at it......

Xu Hao said: "You know, I am from a large unified country, and the small countries around me have great respect for my country, I can't imagine that there will be such a discord between each other in your country, oh, or that problem, system problem!" As for the structural problem, if we do not carry out rectification and structural reform and learn from China's advanced experience, how many students have been sent to China will not necessarily be able to change anything after they come back. ”

"Institutional reform?"

"That's right! Even if you learn more, what's the use, your succession system is problematic, look at England, look at the Netherlands, look at Spain, isn't it all like this, the king is young and strong, and he can barely develop, but once the king has a problem, or the throne is passed on to a non-human, there will always be something, you see, if you don't carry out political system reform, there will still be problems. ”

What Xu Hao said is really dry goods.

Many of the future wars in Europe will basically revolve around the succession of kings.
