When Di Man heard Yue Xiaofei's first half of his words, he couldn't help but let out a long breath. According to the testimony of Admiral Charlotte, which he had introduced to him and seen him, he was convinced that if the navy of the Shenzhou Army was willing to help, then Batavia would not at least fall into the hands of the British.
Moreover, Yue Xiaofei explained that it was a cruiser that protected him this time, and there was no need to ask that these were the battleships that Xia Luofu said were enough to carry out a one-sided slaughter of Western warships.
With the help of such a powerful force, Batavia would be a territory that the British would never be able to conquer.
Before coming, Diman had also considered, and even decided, that as long as the royal family had not issued a credential declaring war, Batavia could still conduct commercial dealings with Shenzhou City. And even if it was an engagement, Diman did not plan to use his strength here to engage the Shenzhou army.
And his greatest hope is to maintain a secret commercial relationship with them, and as for what kind of blow these industrial products will deal to the production system there when they arrive in Europe, to put it bluntly, "None of his own pocket!" ”
Of course, it depends on the attitude of the Shenzhou army, especially if they cross here into the Indian Ocean, then Diman will fight, because it is a matter of his pocket.
As for the "little problem" that Yue Xiaofei said at the end, Diman had already guessed, that is, the distribution of "benefits". There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and Diman understands this, and whether the negotiation can be agreed depends on the distribution of whether the two sides can adapt to each other's appetite for interests.
Yue Xiaofei continued: "It's just a small problem, what you produce here is spices, and the rest of the things can't flow out from here, except for our industrial products. So I believe that this is a big loss for Batavia and for you personally, do you agree with that? ”
Diman nodded and nodded, due to the rise of the Free State of Shenzhou, it is true that the supplies here are not as abundant as before. Fuso and China have been completely cut off from production materials, and even some of the grain from India has been bought by them.
So when Yue Xiaofei said this, he nodded vigorously, and the fat on his face was like two cold powders, which looked good!
Yue Xiaofei was very satisfied with Diman's current performance, handed him a cigar, and diligently helped him light it before continuing.
"And we're not interested in spices, something that we don't lack. That's why I propose that you send someone to make a full purchase during the spice harvest season, so that you can have complete control over the spice market in Europe.
Of course, our products will be re-exported to you, which will also allow you to get a lot of tax revenue from those ships everywhere. Lo and behold, it's good business for both parties. ”
When Di Man heard Yue Xiaofei's suggestion, he was very happy in his heart, knowing that a complete monopoly on spices would be a profitable business, and His Excellency the venerable "Protector" of the East was obviously not very interested in spices, which made the West tear apart at every turn.
This could not help but make Diman overjoyed, and at the same time, he also saw that there were not many cargo ships in the Free State of China, otherwise they could avoid this place and trade directly in the direction of Europe, and the intention of such a distribution of benefits by His Excellency the Tribune was undoubtedly to use the cargo ships of the East India Company and the ready-made trade routes to sell their products all over the world.
"It's a business that's good for both parties!"
A smile appeared on Diman's fat face when he heard Yue Xiaofei's suggestion, if he had doubts about the identity of this "Son of God" just now, then now because of the benefits that will be put in his pocket in the future, he has completely believed that this person in front of him must be some angel in the sky.
"Your Excellency, it is sufficient that you have been able to distribute it in this way, and I strongly approve of your proposal, and I guarantee that the sale of your goods here will make you the richest man in the Eastern Continent. And if your fleet comes to our aid, it will surely make this place more stable and prosperous. ”
Yue Xiaofei put on a helpless expression and said, "Since Governor Diman has such an ardent hope, then it is difficult for me to refuse. Well, I will send a fleet to keep this sea safe, and to prevent any spice-smuggling ships from passing through here, in order to protect your interests. Of course, as a precondition I need you to build our naval port near the commercial port in Batavia, so that our warships can dock, do you think? ”
Yue Xiaofei's last request made Diman hesitate, which was almost an unacceptable condition for him. Let the fleet of the Shenzhou Army settle in now, if this matter is known to the company's top management, it will be a big inappropriate.
Diman took out his handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his head, took a puff of cigarette, and squeaked, "This matter...... It's a thing! …… Look at Batavia, such a small ......! ”
Yue Xiaofei shook his head: "I think you misunderstood, the establishment of a port here is just to protect our common interests. And, haven't you thought about it? What would happen to Batavia if I sat on the sidelines and let the British navy attack you, and then I reaped the fisherman's benefits? And what will happen to you, our honorable Governor? ”
After that, Yue Xiaofei leaned back in the chair, expressing his disappointment with Diman. If Yue Xiaofei was still luring him just now, then now he is blatantly intimidating.
"Hmm...... I...... I...... Now, Lord Tribune, your fleet is my invitation to help protect the interests of the East India Company in spices, and I will provide the harbor, and I will pay for a third of their salaries.
In the meantime, your fleet is here to protect your merchandise-related interests, but not to interfere with our operations. How do you think this is handled? ”
It was really an unacceptable thing for Diman to make such a decision, although the oriental tribune in front of him was tough and frightening, he would still share some benefits for himself.
And if he were dealing with the British, the consequences would be unimaginable, especially since they were here, at least until they negotiated with the Dutch Crown, and he still had a considerable profit to gain.
So it would be much better to give a portion of the benefits of the spices to this tribune than to give it to the Englishman or to the guy opposite.
"Bear one-third of the military expenses of the Shenzhou Army garrison here, okay! That's a good thing, I like it, at least until I negotiate with you royal Dutchmen. ”
