Chapter 1216: Charter King, Let's Go to Tianzhu! (Ask for subscription)
"I don't know!"
The answer to Zheng Zhilong's question was Zhu Cijiong, the acting king, and his answer was very real - I just don't know!
I don't know how much it will cost, I don't know how much revenue I will make, and I don't know when I will make a profit...... It's a bit of the style of an Internet giant in the future!
"Zhu Yaofei" laughed and said, "Okay, good, I don't know it's a good deal!" When Shanghai Tang was first built, who knew that it would be prosperous today? When the United States of New Zealand opened, who knew it would be thriving now? I don't know!
Of course, when Shanghai was built, we knew that Shanghai was a treasure! Guarding the estuary of the Yangtze River, or the junction of the South Sea, the North Ocean, and the East, this is God's appreciation, so the reason why we have not been able to develop for many years is completely because we do not let the big work go quickly.
Before the opening of the United States of New Continent, we also knew that there was a large piece of terra nullius on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and we explored it and found that it was a rare and good land.
Now the reopening of the Silk Road is similar, although now the shipping is prosperous, the Silk Road can not reproduce the grand occasion of the Han and Tang dynasties, but it is by no means unprofitable! ”
"Zhu Yaofei" accentuated his tone and said: "The Western Regions, Beiting, Hezhong, Kazakh, Siberia and Rakshasa are incomparably vast, with at least more than 10,000 miles from east to west, and no less than a few thousand miles from north to south!" Population in the tens of millions!
If the land is large, there will be abundant things, and if there are many people, there will be wealth. How can it be unprofitable? However, this large area of rich and rich land is far away from Haikou, and there are no big rivers to run through, so business and trade can only rely on camel teams. However, since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Western countries have been fighting and sectarian fights have made it difficult to cut off the trade routes, and the Silk Road has been cut off.
Therefore, the Silk Road was cut off not because of the prosperity of the sea route, but because of the strife and vicious fighting of the Western countries!
And now although the war in the West is raging, the victory and defeat are about to be decided! Although the Celestial Empire cannot dominate the Western countries, it will certainly restore peace to the West, so that trade routes can be reopened and trade can be exchanged!
Although the king didn't know how much he could earn from the Silk Road trade? I don't know when the business of reopening the Silk Road will be profitable?
However, it is certain that the Western countries have abundant resources and wealth and are not connected to sea vessels...... And once the Silk Road is reopened, there is a lot to be done!
What do you say? ”
What do you say? Zhu Cijiong said in his heart: You have finished speaking, what else do I say? And I really don't know! I'm such a king, then you can brag nonsense!
"Big brother is so right!"
Zhu Cijiong didn't speak, but his good brother Zhu Cijiong shouted: "This is a good deal, I have to invest money...... Vote, vote 200,000 taels! ”
"Zhu Yaofei" smiled and nodded, this Zhu Ciwei has a good eye, no wonder the land and real estate he bought can appreciate in value!
Zheng Zhilong smiled and said, "Then I'll invest 400,000 taels!" ”
400,000 taels is a small amount for Zheng Shoufu, and he can afford to lose!
Shen Tingyang also smiled: "I also invested 400,000 taels!" ”
"Zhu Yaofei" nodded and said with a smile: "I'll vote a little more, 1 million taels!" On behalf of the king, 2 million taels already have ...... It accounts for half of the shares of the Silk Road Commercial Bank, how about it? ”
"Okay!" Zhu Cijiong smiled, "I haven't even figured out how to open this business, and the investment of 2 million taels will be ...... I can't guarantee you all money! ”
"It's okay, it's okay, the third brother's business will definitely make money, I firmly believe it!" I don't know how the fat man thought of it, but he said it beautifully.
"Zhu Yaofei" nodded and said, "It's only 2 million...... A few of us can afford it! But I also believe that this deal will not be lost! ”
He paused, "It's not too early today, let's talk about it here!" Third brother, are the chief stewards of your firm and the lawyer here together? ”
Zhu Cijiong replied: "It's all here." ”
"Okay, then let them go to the head office of the Royal Chamber of Commerce in Pukou to negotiate the contract! Once the negotiation is complete, let's make an appointment to sign it again. ”
Zheng Zhilong and Shen Tingyang both nodded, they had long been accustomed to Zhu Cihong's style of doing things.
Several people stood up, hugged their fists at "Zhu Yaofei", and were about to leave.
"It's all gone...... Sixth brother stay! "Zhu Yaofei has changed back to Zhu Cihong at this time, and he is not pretending to be polite to a few people, but just letting Zhu Cihong stay.
Zhu Cihong chuckled again in his heart - he knew that Zhu Cihong was a "pit demon", and his younger brothers who were older than him had been pitted, but he hadn't cheated much.
I didn't dare to leave if I knew it was bad, so I had to stay in the dining room.
"Sixth brother, are you graduating from college soon?"
"It's almost ......," Zhu replied, "I will graduate at the end of the year." ”
Now Daming's school is not enrolled in September, but after the New Year, so graduation is at the end of the year.
Zhu Cihong asked: "What do you plan to do after graduation?" ”
"Collect rent!" Zhu Ciwei replied in a low voice, "Brother Chen has more than a dozen streets to collect rent, and he is very busy, so he has no time to do anything else." ”
"!" Zhu Cihong glared at his brother, "Do you think I charge less rent than you?" Who has ever heard that there are more than a dozen streets that still need to collect rent in person? ”
It turns out that Zhu Cihong is the real estate king, and he owns a large number of real estate in Shanghai, Yingtian, Yangzhou, Wuhan, Tianjin, Tianhe and other prefectures, and there are hundreds of streets!
"Brother Huang...... Am I not lazy? Zhu Cihong's heart was raised, he didn't want to send Zhu Cihong out to be a king.
"I don't want you to be the king of the domain, don't worry!" Zhu Cihong looked at the fat brother, "Among my brothers, you are the most shrewd!" Can I still trap you? ”
How can it not be pitted? Zhu Ci said in his heart: You are the emperor! If you want to cheat me, no matter how shrewd I am, I will only be pitted!
Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "Why don't you go to Tianzhu!" ”
"To Tianzhu?" The expression on Zhu Ci's fat face collapsed, "What are you doing there?" ”
Zhu Cihong said: "Aurangzeb of the Tianzhu Timurid Empire wants to give his daughter Princess Nissa to me as a concubine...... It is also said that Princess Nissa is a beautiful and talented woman.
Although I am not lustful, I love talent. So you should take a trip to Tianzhu to investigate, and if Princess Nissa is really talented, bring her back to Tianfu. ”
It turned out that Zhu Cihong wanted Zhu Cihong to go to Princess Kaunisha - whether she was a talented girl or not, you have to take the test to find out! Zhu Ciwei graduated from the Taixue arithmetic discipline, and he is still very knowledgeable, so he can take the exam for Princess Nisha.
"But, how did I hear that we are at war with this Timurid Empire?" Zhu Cixi's heart and liver trembled.
"Don't be afraid!" Zhu Cihong waved his hand, "When you arrive in Tianzhu, most of the monks have already defeated the Timurid Empire...... When the time comes, you can negotiate a peace treaty with Aurangzeb. ”
"Peace treaty?" Zhu Ciwei asked, "What benefits does the imperial brother want?" ”
Zhu Cihong thought for a while and said, "If Princess Nissa is beautiful and talented, then I don't want anything...... Otherwise, a trade agreement would be sufficient. ”
Emperor Zhu didn't want to colonize India yet, because there were already many colonists around India! England, the Netherlands, Portugal, France, everything you can go!
If Da Ming also rushed in, it would be a public outrage!
Moreover, it is still the heyday of the Timurid Empire in India, and even if Aurangzeb fails in Samarkand, he can bring a group of Central Asian refugees back to India to continue to claim hegemony, and it is still very difficult for others to conquer India.
Historically, it was also after the death of Aurangzeb that India gradually fell into full-scale division and civil war before it was slowly conquered by the British colonizers.
Therefore, Zhu Cihong plans to use a more realistic way to deal with India, which is still relatively powerful, not a colonizer, but an old friend of the Indian people! If you can accept Princess Nisha, then you will marry the Timurid Empire in India.
Once married, the trade affair will be easy to handle, and the big deal is to use Princess Nissa's signboard, so there is no need to sign any unequal treaties.
In addition, Zhu Cihong did not want the collapse of the Timurid Empire in India...... That's a big customer, too! India's economy is second only to China, and it is the second largest economy in the world.
The trade between China and India can completely surpass the trade between China and Europe!
