65 knots Ocean freight
But no, it's impossible for him Yue Xiaofei not to be deflated this time. As we said earlier, the Xu family, due to their strong wealth, began to engage in ocean fishing and ocean freight as early as the era of Shenzhou City.
I also have to blame Yue Xiaofei himself, who only cared about blowing with Xu Liejun at that time, but as a result, these thoughts all came to the ears of Xu Zhenhuan, the old man of the Xu family. Xu Zhenhuan, who has been in business all his life, of course, can smell what kind of income is included in this, so he has long begun to unite a considerable number of merchants to attract a large amount of investment to start this business.
After the Battle of Taiwan, Hongda Ocean Freight, led by his Xu family, with its strong financial resources, almost took over most of the Dutch merchant ships auctioned by the Shenzhou Army and captured by them and transformed them, forming the first ocean shipping enterprise in the Shenzhou Free State.
Therefore, the first batch of merchant ships to the South Seas reached nearly 50, carrying all such things as toothbrush, fans, folding umbrellas, lighters, porcelain, tea, flower cloth, silk, etc., which had already been mass-produced and had a considerable inventory, and of course, there were also a few crystal glass products that had just begun to be produced, such as complete sets of tableware and statues of the Virgin.
And the fan alone is selling crazy in that hot place!
As for the commodities on the return trip, they have been negotiated when they set sail, and they buy more production materials and food when they return to China.
Therefore, Yue Xiaofei's alliance with North Korea and his move to Fuso narrowed the gap in resources such as materials and food, which made the merchants a little worried at that time.
It was not until the ship returned to the voyage that they were overjoyed to find that the venerable Lord "Tribune" was engaged in a war to increase the population, and that the price of these things was in the process of rising.
Most of the return voyages of the fleet brought back various production resources produced by Dutch merchants from China and near China, including grain, various minerals, and even rice and other crops from the Dutch such as Tianzhu (India), Siam (Thailand), and Annam (Vietnam).
If you bring industrial goods, especially crystal products, to Europe, the profits are self-evident. As for the Shenzhou Free State, because of the raw materials and grain exchanged for industrial products, they had to hire a number of foreign ships to help transport them back.
So when they returned, their fleet was more than three times as large as when they went. In fact, it is very cheap and fair that industrial products are three times more profitable than those of production materials.
These transactions gave the merchants of the Free State of China a taste of sweetness, and a few crystal statues of Guanyin (the statue of the Virgin) could be exchanged for a boatload of raw silk, this kind of business was done! And a set of cutlery made entirely of crystal and silver cutlery could have caused the red-haired merchants to fight at auction.
Merchants from all over the world, who were eager to follow the first foreign trade fleet of the Shenzhou Free State to China, were eager to follow the first foreign trade fleet of the Shenzhou Free State to China.
However, as a result of his account and the testimony of foreign officers who remained in Mingyue Bay, the governor of Batavia (present-day Jakarta, Indonesia), who was also the head of the Batavia branch, issued an order banning navigation to the China Sea.
This news made the bosses of the nearly fifty merchant ships who came to transport supplies for Shenzhou City overjoyed, this is a godsend opportunity to make a fortune! To this end, they brought with them large quantities of hard currency such as gold and jewelry.
Why is this so, because when the fleet of the Free State of China arrived in Batavia (Jakarta), it looked at the city almost entirely occupied by Westerners, and only pouted with disdain.
"What a broken place, what is it called Batavia! When doing business with the people of this place, I am afraid that I should be careful not to pay attention to anything other than food, supplies, and gold. ”
It is worth mentioning that there is also a shipload of raw rubber that no one knows what it is used for, and of course the goods of this ship are purchased by two companies, one-fifth of which is sent to Luban League, and the rest is to be sent to the "armed equipment workshop".
Regarding rubber, there are only four words in "Someone Imagined" "vulcanized rubber".
The eyes of the businessmen are all thieves staring at the "Lu Ban League", they all have an experience, the more things no one has seen, the more valuable they will be in the future, so the one they are staring at is called tight, for fear of revealing any treasures!
As for how to do it and how to use it, no one seems to know. It seems that we have to rely on the efforts of our technicians who are desperate for money and honor.
Xu Zhenhuan didn't "chase after the victory", just the smug look on his face was already uncomfortable.
Today's Yue Xiaofei is no longer the former Wuxia Ameng, and he has to fight for this trivial matter, because he cares about another matter.
"Congratulations! The great benefits of ocean freight have solved the urgent crisis of China's free state. It's just that I don't know how to go there, is this voyage report on time? ”
It turned out that the captains of the ocean-going freight ships had a responsibility, that is, after arriving in a different place, they should make a systematic evaluation of the other party's customs, mineral resources, business transactions, sea routes, and the best military armaments.
As soon as he talked about the voyage report, the elated Xu Zhenhuan's tone immediately lowered, and he smacked his lips and said, "Tsk! Anyway, we didn't encounter any danger this time. When I first arrived, the red-haired people there were still planning to fight by force, so we were only allowed to send a small boat ashore.
Later, the one you pardoned, he himself asked to go ashore to dredge it. As a result, the governor of Batavia on the shore allowed our fleet to dock, but we were not allowed to trade with the merchants, but he bought all our goods, and forbade our merchant ships to go to other islands.
That's it, the governor has to go on board to see our goods, and after reading it, look at the price he gave, it's too low to be reliable.
The second child of my family stopped doing it at that time, and he said to Kuiyi, "Mr. Kuiyi, please tell this Governor, his behavior is unjust, and we will not accept it, at most we will sail back to our China Mingyue Bay, and naturally someone will come to negotiate with him!" ”
If you want to say that the one is still full of meaning, as soon as you go ashore and talk to the governor, it is done.
Hehe, the governor of Batavia immediately softened when he heard it. They said that the previous valuation was wrong, and they wanted to requote it, saying that they had the sincerity to do business.
In the end, my second child will auction according to the old rules of our Shenzhou sound! This time, the price is a strong increase. We only needed gold and other supplies as promised, and as a result, we came back with almost a hundred ships to help us pull the goods......! ”
