Of course, Frandic knew how rich the European nobles were at this time, and colonial officers like him did not belong to the ranks of the nobles, and it was trivial to make tens of thousands of taels a year, and it was conceivable how rich those nobles who were full of fiefs and had many privileges were rich.

He also knows how tight the goods of the Ming Empire are at this time, because the Ming Empire has been closed to the country in recent years, and the goods that flow out are too few, and even ordinary porcelain on the European side is auctioned by the auction house, if he can buy the goods of the Ming Empire, he does not need to transport them to the European continent at all, as long as they are transported to Goa, there will be traders who will buy them at 20 times or even 30 times the price.

Therefore, even if he buys at ten times the price, the profit is quite huge, and the problem is that the money earned does not belong to him alone, he can only get a part, and a very small part.

The colonial fleet at this time did business like a company in later generations, with shareholders, managers, and ordinary employees.

The shareholders are roughly the royal family, nobles and other privileged classes in their country, and the assets of the entire colonial fleet belong to these people, and they naturally have to account for the majority of the profits obtained by the colonial fleet.

The managers were the officers and the governors of the colonies, the trade officials, etc., who managed the fleet on behalf of the privileged classes in the country, and although they received dividends, they did not have much, at most a few percent.

Ordinary employees are his soldiers, and these people are paid "dead wages", how much is a boat trip or how much is a month, these are all dead.

This was originally not much profit for him, and he was so blackened by the governor of the Ming Empire, he could not share less profits.

When Frandick heard the price offered by Yang Cong, his brows suddenly furrowed.

What are you kidding, buying it at ten times the original price, you are too greedy.

How much money do we have to work hard to run on the sea for months to make money, and you want to earn more than all of us combined, Fa Keyou!

He really wanted to beat up the hateful governor of the Ming Empire in front of him, then tie him up and throw him into the sea to feed the fish!

Problem: The strength in the hands of others is obviously stronger than him, and he can't be rough, what should he do?

He frowned and pondered for a while, then tried to squeeze out a smiling face, and said in a deliberative tone: "Your Excellency, your price is too high, we can't accept it, otherwise, we still take the goods at the original price, and we will double the introduction fee for you, what do you think?" ”

He thought that the governor of the Ming Empire was blackmailing money, ten times was just an exaggeration, this guy just wanted to be more greedy.

Unexpectedly, Yang Cong shook his head firmly and said: "No, the price is calculated at ten times the local price in Daming, and not a single cent is missing." ”

Can you not be so dark?

Frandick said helplessly: "Otherwise, if we pay three times the introduction fee, Your Excellency the Governor, we really can't do more, and we won't make much money any more." ”

Fool it!

Yang Cong still shook his head firmly and said: "No, the official doesn't want any introduction fees, you can take the goods at ten times the local price of Daming, otherwise, don't do this business." ”

Fake!

Frandick almost couldn't control his anger and cursed.

The governor of the Ming Empire is also too greedy, it seems that if he doesn't give some color, this guy is afraid that he will not let go.

He gritted his teeth secretly and said coldly: "Your Excellency the Governor, we are doing business with sincerity, and if you offer such an offer, we will not be able to do this business." ”

Yang Cong pretended to be indifferent, and said lightly: "If you can't do it, then you don't have to do it, Your Excellency Commander, please go back, it's good to go, don't send it." ”

Burst.

When Frandick heard this, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

This guy, can't you see that he's going to be hard?

He could only muster up the courage to threaten: "Your Excellency, you must also know that more than ten years ago, a lot of unpleasant things happened between our two countries because of trade problems, and we didn't want this kind of thing to happen again, but we may choose to solve it again by force when we are forced to do so." ”

Oops, the soft ones don't work, the hard ones come out, who are you scaring about?

Yang Cong turned his face and said coldly: "What do you mean to be forced to do so?" Who forced you? Isn't it consensual to do business? If you can't talk about it, you can't do it? Do we have to do business with you? Your Excellency Commander, I'm afraid you're thinking too much, our Ming never accepts threats, and the two wars more than ten years ago showed our attitude, if you don't accept it, you can try again. ”

The great powers are originally this virtue, they started by robbing, and they also have the nature of robbers when they do business, that is, you have to do it, and you have to do it if you don't do it.

Of course, in the face of stronger forces, they will also be tactful and play some tricks.

Frandick was really forced by Yang Cong to have no choice, so he opened his mouth to threaten.

Since this mouth was opened, he naturally couldn't be coaxed, so he stubbornly continued to threaten: "Your Excellency the Governor, maybe you think that we have the strength you see, I solemnly tell you, you are wrong, we are not only this strength, our navy has hundreds of new battleships, and any half of them can be transferred to annihilate the ashes of your fishing boats, we just don't want to fight with you, so we didn't do it." ”

This boasted, hundreds of new battleships, you must not destroy Spain.

However, there is one thing this guy is not bragging, if Portugal really transferred all the warships, Da Ming really can't do it at this time.

It's a pity that you can't transfer all the ships at all.

Yang Cong knows very well that Portugal's center of gravity is not here at all, because their homeland is too far away from Daming, so far that it takes almost a year to run back and forth.

At such a long distance, there is a heavy load of grain and grass, how can military supplies be transported?

If there is really a full-scale war, it is estimated that as long as the Ming can resist for about a year, the Portuguese Navy will run out of ammunition and food!

This threat was a joke, and he couldn't help but sneer: "Your Excellency, your words can only scare that kind of ignorant child, do you think that this officer doesn't know how many people you have?" You only have a population of more than a million people, so what if you transfer them all? Besides, your homeland is thousands of miles away from our Ming Dynasty, how many people can you transfer over? This official also solemnly tells you that our Daming is not only this strength, our Daming alone has more than 2 million standing troops, and when it comes to fighting, you are not enough! ”

Burst.

Frandick really wants to vomit blood, this guy is too strong, he can't eat it.

He really has no choice, and he can only put the cruel words here, and he really doesn't dare to say the cruel words, because he is afraid, if the governor is angry, he will be finished.

He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and finally said with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency the Governor said that we are quite peace-loving, and we will not use force unless absolutely necessary." However, the price you are offering is a bit too high for us to accept. ”

Cut, you are still peace-loving, you are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard.

Yang Cong pretended to be impatient and said: "The official has said that if you can't accept it, you won't do business, isn't it simple?" ”

If you don't do it, you won't be able to make a dime, Frandick can only grit his teeth and say: "Ten times is ten times, or I'll bring some goods back this time to try, if we can make money, we will continue to do it." ”

Hehe, that's pretty much it.
