New York, June, 1595.

The city's thriving trade has led to an astonishing growth, with a population of nearly 100,000 and nearly 200 types of commerce in just a few years.

The daily trade concurrency is more than 250,000 to 400,000 gold coins, which is already equivalent to the trade quota of a small country as a whole.

It stands to reason that the huge cash flow generated by such a large intersection quota will be coveted by countless people, but because the port has too strong military power, it has always been peaceful.

However, I know very well that the enemy will not give up because of the difficulties in front of me, and will definitely come up with other ways to attack us from one unexpected place or another!

Sure enough, one day in late June, Mo suddenly told me a strange news - there had been abnormal fluctuations in trading recently, and the situation was very abnormal.

Specifically, the daily transaction amount in the past was generally stable, especially the shipment and purchase volume of a single product were quite regular, and there would be no violent fluctuations during this period.

For example, tea, because I arranged for people to grow a lot of tea near the big lake, and brought the traditional high-quality roasted tea technology here, the local area has a considerable advantage in tea production.

In the past 100 years, with the introduction of the Silk Road to Europe, tea has gradually become a daily necessity for local people, from the royal palace nobles to the common people, all of whom cherish this light daily necessities.

At first, I didn't know how to drink it, and I felt the same kind of tea when I drank it, but after drinking it for a long time, I began to understand how to distinguish it from a variety of different products, and I was able to find my favorite brand.

With nearly 2,000 hectares of tea trees planted in my tea plantation and more than a dozen roasting techniques, I can meet the needs of any class of tea lovers.

The tea trade on the plantation has always been one of the most stable trading categories, and it can even be said that it is the most stable, but there has been serious fluctuations recently.

An unknown force has intervened in our tea trade, and their method is very simple - shoddy and damage the reputation of our products!

Judging from the counterfeit tea that has been seized, they have copied almost all of our packaging and appearance, but there is no cost control at all.

In recent times, this unknown force has been selling a large number of low-quality tea leaves on the exchange near New York, because the price is low, which greatly crowds out the market for our products.

Although many parties have doubts when buying, this chamber of commerce is not officially designated by New York City to sell manufacturers, and there is no standardized anti-counterfeiting mark on the packaging, etc., all of which indicate that the quality of this tea is not guaranteed at all.

But all this is no match for a little - cheap. Their prices are outrageously cheap, and the price of the same type of tea is almost one-sixth of that of our plantations!

Under normal circumstances, people should warn the authorities when they encounter such a situation, and the officials will come forward to solve the problem of counterfeit and shoddy products.

But some merchants don't think so – a trader from France, for example, buys a large amount of counterfeit tea, travels long distances, transports it back to its homeland, and quickly sells it out at a dumping price that is grossly below the market price!

However, the problem soon became apparent, and many customers complained to the merchant after drinking it, believing that they had bought a fake product, and asked for compensation for the return.

The president of this chamber of commerce, called St. James, originally had a ghost in his heart and knew that there might be a problem with these teas, but in the face of a large number of complaints and claim orders, he still returned it under pressure!

"It's not our fault, the tea belongs to the American Chamber of Commerce, it has nothing to do with us, we are just sellers, and we don't guarantee the quality!" So they proclaimed.

If they buy other small brands of tea, no one can afford to pursue the matter, but it just so happens that they are buying tea with our plantation brand!

Isn't this Tai Sui's head breaking ground, what is it? If you want to move my roots, then you have to be prepared to be pushed back!

When I heard the news, I happened to be in Nantes with my children, and when I received the information, I immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and decided as soon as possible - this matter will be solved by myself, and there is no need to leave it to others!

My party arrived in Paris two days later, and without going anywhere else, I went to meet Henry first.

The French king was very concerned about the counterfeit tea incident, but he believed that it was definitely not my problem, because he believed in the quality of my work, and I was definitely not a shoddy person who made a one-time dollar.

And I also promise, half a month! I only need half a month, plus the time of the round-trip journey, I will definitely be able to find out the root cause of this matter!

Henry, of course, believed me a hundred times, and immediately issued me a nationwide order for the investigation to facilitate my specific actions.

Although this is more for the 8% stake of the French royal family in the overall trade, I am still very touched by his cooperation and support, this friend, enough!

Walter, the president of the St. James Chamber of Commerce, was soon brought to me, along with his trade commissioner and the accounting cashier.

All the people who might have come into contact with the product itself are here, a lot.

At first, they were relatively resistant to this kind of hijacked communication, but after the Nine Ghosts Masataka waved his hand lightly and his six bodyguards lay silent in a pool of blood, Walter wisely chose to cooperate, and there was no intention of resisting at all.

The ins and outs of the matter soon became clear, the chamber of commerce where they bought the tea called itself "Elliecan", and the trademark of the chamber of commerce was very similar to that of the American Chamber of Commerce, after all, under the writing of round characters, Ame

ica and Aie

The difference between ICAs is not so stark.

The chamber of commerce has adopted an underground trading method, and has also not taken formal trading channels.

As for the transaction process, it has been shown very specific through the bills, and there is no need for further verification.

So I decided to rush back to Xinda* to find out this matter thoroughly and prevent similar situations from happening in the future!

As for the problems caused by St. James and Walter, this should be solved by himself, after all, they also have some family background, which is enough to compensate.

As for the question of whether they cooperate or not, after the specific situation is handed over to Henry, the French prince will know how to do it, and I don't need to teach him this.

This time I returned to Xinda*lu, I decided to bring Arashi, Kite and the children back with me, after all, it is our real home, and the children should be allowed to grow up on their own land from an early age and get used to their own home from an early age.

The journey back was a smooth one, and we were back on New York soil in about thirty days.

And after I gave the order, the soldiers of the brigade drove into the trading area, and after a thorough investigation, the profiteers of Ellecan had nothing to hide, and they were caught by my team!

The profiteer at the head is a white man in his 40s, who looks very obscene, but his attitude is very tough, and he resolutely refuses to admit the problem of counterfeiting and selling.

This is not enough to make me feel troubled, after all, the nine ghosts Masataka and others are professional trouble-solving people.

After half a day, all the problems have been completely clear!

This man's name is Aaron, an Englishman, who had bought a New York Trading Permit from an underground source, stole it and broke into our trading market.

And behind him there is a big man - as I expected, it is none other than the British supreme person who is high above the temples of London, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth!

Needless to say, her purpose is to use this dirty means to attack my territorial trade, ruin my reputation, make the New York trade a black hand trade, and divide my trade alliances, which can finally be taken advantage of by her!

In other words, such a tactic seems to be an illegal competition in business, but in fact it is an attempt to shake my foundation and uproot my power!

It's just that what she is doing now is only the first step, if I don't notice it, or I don't care about it, or I can't find out the truth of the problem, I'm afraid that the follow-up tricks and evil tricks will follow one after another, until I am completely defeated!

That's all Elizabeth intended!

Looking at the investigation report in front of me, I silently thought about the next countermeasures.

It's not difficult to eliminate an Ellecan, and it's not impossible to uproot them, but what about afterward?

Will Elizabeth give up because of this failure?

Absolutely not!

When she saw that I was indeed bothered by such a trick, she would definitely get even worse and come up with new ways to disgust me! Hit me!

Then can I just obediently tie my hands? That's absolutely impossible!

In other words, in this case, it is not a simple question of right and wrong, let alone a matter of money or not, but a bet on the future, on winning or losing to fight and fight.

In my manor, I called all my friends and colleagues together and said what I thought!

"I have decided that the all-out fight against the British invasion will not be just a form of commerce for a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye. We must make preparations for the War of Resistance in all aspects, and be prepared to fight a big and protracted war! ”

"What the British want is not our commercial interests, let alone the short-term interests that can be seen in the moment, but our lifeline, the land we live on and strive to build, and everything here!"

"Therefore, we must unite all the forces that can be united, do business while preparing for war, and be ready to fight the British to the end!"

"As the so-called name is not right, we are going to fight against a powerful country, so it is absolutely impossible for us to exist only in the form of a business alliance!"

"I am absolutely, ready to build our own country on the land under our feet!"

"The name of the country is America! United States of America! ”
