"It's not for him to take away affection, it's for him to recommend some people to us!"

Of course, for Shi Yiwen, he prefers to use Yu Zhigao, but he is guarding at home, so of course it is impossible to invite him out of the mountain, besides...... At least in the past three years, there is no need to use Yu Zhigao, not to wait a few more years.

"However, the official position is light-hearted, and this matter still has to be bothered by the Duke of Guo to personally repair a letter to him."

"Oh, I see, it's easy to do, it's easy to do."

When he heard that it was not to make people lose affection, but to write a letter, Zhu Yingzhen naturally would not refuse, and while agreeing, he and Shi Yiwen stood on the dam for a while, and talked a lot about building docks and shipbuilding, and of course, also talked about sea trade.

"What is the essence of this business? It's not that we just bring things over, and then exchange them for silver, so we can't make much money, so we have to see what they need, for example, the Wa country needs our raw silk, silk, cloth, sugar, iron and other things, let's transport these goods to the Wa country, and then see what we need, such as the copper of the Wa country, I heard that there is abundant copper, of course, it is also rich in silver, let's transport these things back to the Ming Dynasty, but it is not difficult to only transport what we need, after all, we also have to open a route to the Western Ocean, It is inevitable that there will be some things that can be sold to the South Seas and India, and India also has goods that the Japanese need......

This is the most superficial explanation, which also involves a series of gameplay methods such as the establishment of trading posts and concessions, Shi Yiwen did not mention, but even so, in Zhu Yingzhen's sound, it is also extremely fresh.

"This, the Wa country is rich in copper, so if we transport the copper back and make it into copper ware, won't we make more profits?"

But all people are always extremely sensitive to interests, and Zhu Yingzhen naturally thought of the expensive bronzes in China.

"That's inevitable, after all, all we shipped from the country is copper bars."

"In that case, shouldn't the company set up a copperware factory here......

Almost subconsciously, Zhu Yingzhen stopped, why let the company run a copper factory? You can do it yourself.

"Guogong, in fact, the company does not have to operate such a small detail as the copper factory, after all, although such utensils are profitable, but if they are also operated by the company, the operation is too complicated, and many of the copper bars we ship back have to be sold to the imperial court, so it is ......better to be run by outsiders."

Shi Yiwen, who heard the meaning of Zhu Yingzhen's words, said deliberately.

"Xia Guan heard that there are domestic slaves in the Guogong Mansion who are making bronze in the capital, if the workshop is moved to Lugou, it will be more suitable, and when the time comes, the copper can be sent directly to Lugou by boat, I don't know what Guogong thinks?"

"This ...... This is not good, after all, I am the chairman of the company, how can I harm the public and private interests. ”

Saying this, Shi Yiwen didn't see the greed in his eyes, so he smiled.

"How can this be detrimental to the public and private interests? After all, copper bars are always sold, and who are they sold to? Besides, selling to others may mean that the other party is still in arrears, so selling to Guogong naturally has no worries about this, don't you say? ”

"Hey, this, go back to this, come back and talk about ......"

Zhu Yingzhen had a smile on his face, and his eyes were also perverted when he looked at Shi Yiwen, this kid is quite sensible. No wonder the British Duke trusts him so much, I'm afraid trust is secondary, the key is that he has the ability to earn silver, such a person who can earn silver, but he should make a good friend, maybe he can make some money in the future.

Thinking about it in his heart, as if he remembered something, Zhu Yingzhen took the initiative to show goodwill.

"Zhiyuan, there is a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Oh? Guogong said it bluntly. ”

"After you entered Beijing, did you offend anyone?"

Who have you offended?

Frowning slightly, Shi Yiwen shook his head and said.

"No, after entering Beijing last year, I have rarely left the village in the village, otherwise I will set up my own factory in Lugou. How can you offend people? ”

"Really not offended?"

Silent and pondering for a while, Zhu Yingzhen tried to ask:

"Do you know Zhang Taizheng?"

"Zhang Taizheng?"

Shi Yiwen wondered, who is this guy?

"Who is he?"

"Zhang Cifu's son!"

Although there was no one around, Zhu Yingzhen still kept his voice lower.

"My unsuccessful son, I am familiar with him, listen to him, this son seems to have a complaint against you."

"Zhang Siwei's son? It's ......"

After thinking for a while, Shi Yiwen understood what was going on in his heart, this was completely the trouble that Tang Ziqi's girl caused herself. But he still asked inconspicuously.

"How is this possible? Xia Guan didn't have any dealings with him! How could you offend him? ”

"Maybe it's because of jealousy, after all, you are already in a high position at such a young age, in charge of the royal banknote and presiding over the Western company, this jealousy is inevitable after all, but you have to be careful."

Zhu Yingzhen, who originally intended to use this to show favor to Shi Yiwen, thought about it for a while, and specially reminded him.

"Zhiyuan, although this son Zhang is from everyone, he is still young and vigorous, since he has aroused his jealousy, he still has to find a way to deal with it properly, well, in this way, I'll look back and find an opportunity to help you make peace from it."

In fact, at this time, anyone can hear that Zhu Yingzhen is showing goodwill, and Shi Yiwen is also clear about this. Hearing him say this, he naturally thanked him.

"In this way, thank you very much."

Say peace?

How to say and?

While sneering in his heart, Shi Yiwen understood one thing, the surnamed Zhang must not have forgotten that incident, even if it was not wronged, and it was brought into the pit, but this Liangzi is considered to be ...... The hatred of taking a wife! Even if he didn't take it, if he thought so. Then the feud is settled.

Although he knew that Zhu Yingzhen couldn't solve the problem, Shi Yiwen also thanked him for his reminder, so he chatted with him about the company's affairs again, and the two chatted while walking, chatting about how to make money through the sea, especially when talking about some tenfold or even dozens of times the windfall profits, Zhu Yingzhen couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows, and said again and again.

"Okay, okay, this business should be done this way, it should be done this way, I didn't expect that this overseas is really a place with gold and silver, we couldn't touch it in the past, but now it's different......"

While rejoicing, he gently patted Shi Yiwen's shoulder, and then said.

"Zhiyuan, in the future, the affairs of this company will still be dominated by you, as for Zhang Gongzi's side...... You don't have to worry, it's just a battle of young people's wills! ”
