Since there is no problem in winning the war, the matter of getting rich is the biggest thing, Sun Yuzhi does not know the specific method of stock operation, but in Europe this is a simple problem that most people know, of course, Philip IV himself does not go back to operate, he should not do this job, but as a king, there are talents under his hands, this matter is very simple, just find someone directly.

If you want to get rich, you have to come together, this is the basis of real friends, Sun Yuzhi and Philip IV are ready to get rich in this war, naturally we can't forget Mr. Theodosio, Duke of Braganza, and bringing Mr. Theodosio to make a fortune together is the most perfect cooperation plan.

The excited Philip IV did not hesitate, and after returning to the palace, he immediately packed his clothes and told his ministers that the Netherlands and England were going to unite to blockade Lisbon, but there was already a way to deal with them.

Theodosio, the Duke of Bragança, stationed in Lisbon, also had already spread the news to his subordinates, Theodosio's initial thoughts were similar to Philip IV, but looking at the Ming fleet parked in the port, the mood was more stable than that of Philip IV, but the war would definitely destroy the city's buildings, so it would be impossible to sell the family property at a higher price, and even lower prices would be difficult to sell, after all, no one wanted to live in a city where a war was going on, This would make the migration difficult, and many people would not be able to make the trip, and Theodosio was mainly worried about it.

The arrival of Sun Yuzhi and Philip IV made Theodosio overjoyed, because Philip IV rarely visited Lisbon, but this time he came with Sun Yuzhi and did not say any hello, which means that he came to inspect secretly, and came with Sun Yuzhi, which means that he must have trusted Sun Yuzhi very much and found a plan to break the enemy.

In the living room of the Duke's palace in Bragança, Philip IV, Theodosio, and Sun Yuzhi pushed their glasses and changed their glasses, and drank wine happily. At the banquet, Philip IV and Sun Yuzhi gave Theodosio a detailed account of the plan and invited him to participate.

The Duke of Bragança is not only a descendant of the former dynasty, but also a well-known aristocratic family in Europe, and a wealthy family, such as operating the stock market is naturally familiar, after listening to the narrative of Philip IV and Sun Yuzhi, it is immediately like seeing the rolling gold and silver flowing into the treasury of his own family. What makes a fortune is that you must participate, and not to participate is the biggest fool in Europe.

Operating the stock market is a technical job, and Theodosio has no shortage of such skilled players at home. Now the information is in their own hands, the time to operate the stock is very easy to master, too early the cost is too high, too late easy to leak information can not buy stocks, when the information is in their own hands, all this is no longer a problem, the question is how much money they want to make, this is also a technical problem, if others are killed, the stock will naturally no one to buy, then it is not speculation stocks, that is called investment. The three of them are not investing, the second is to speculate, so they naturally have to grasp this key point.

In this era, there was only one stock exchange in the world, it was in Amsterdam, and the reason for its establishment was to issue shares of the Dutch East India Company, the actual name of the East India Company was the United East India Company, which was the first company in the world to issue shares to the public, and on this basis, a stock exchange was established, which was established in 1602 and continued to develop in more than 20 years. As the royal family of Europe, the Duke of Bragança's family naturally focuses on this place, and there will be people engaged in this area.

After the three of them discussed, they announced in Lisbon that if the Dutch and the English attempted to blockade Lisbon, Spain would unite with Portugal to completely divide up all the property of the Dutch East India Company in Asia, until the East India Company was completely bankrupt.

After this statement was issued, the entire Amsterdam Stock Exchange stocks were falling, and the worst drop was the shares of the East India Company, which lost half of its market value in a few days, which made the majority of the company's shareholders complain and curse the new executive led by Van Negal, but since the shareholders will choose Van Negal as the executive officer, then the shareholders will have to pay for his actions, or you will give up your shares, but who will buy these shares at this time?

The second strategy devised by Sun Yuzhi was to send troops to Porto, which was the gateway of Portugal to European trade, and the first target of the Dutch should be where to attack, and they could not be entrenched in Lisbon, which would cause harm to the city.

This plan was supported by Theodosio, after all, no one wanted to fight in their own home, and it was distressing to break everything in bottles and cans, and Philip IV also agreed with Sun Yuzhi's plan, this will be his own territory in the future, and of course he doesn't want to fight to pieces. Of course, it would be best if they could be defeated on the sea, with almost no losses at all.

According to normal judgment, the fleets of the Netherlands and England will definitely come from Porto, but it is not certain that they will not play tricks, so for the sake of insurance, Sun Yuzhi sent a speedboat to Porto, while reconnoitering the suitable sea conditions, terrain, and hydrological conditions, while understanding the navigation route of the other side. As a landlord, Theodosio sent his best sailors and crew to help investigate, he himself was the military chief of Portugal, and was more familiar with this area, but now he really did not dare to be careless, this is a matter of life and death, the more cautious the better.

Military preparations were in full swing, commercial preparations were also underway, and Theodosio's butler had arrived in Amsterdam with a large amount of money. The first thing they need to do is to find out the proportion of the largest shareholders of the East India Company, and secondly, to find out who are the shareholders who are inclined to cooperate with England and who are the shareholders who want a peaceful settlement.

Due to the total annihilation of the combined fleets of England, the Netherlands and other countries, even the Netherlands, which has strong shipbuilding strength, does not have too many warships. In fact, even if they have enough warships, they can't find enough soldiers, this time they only barely drove more than 120 warships, but the quality of the soldiers is much worse than the soldiers of the combined fleet, most of the soldiers on these warships are soldiers of the nature of the garrison, but they have also found a lot of pirates from the British Isles, Sweden, Denmark, this is considered a hire, these people are considered elite soldiers, provoked the beams of this operation.

Sun Yuzhi judged correctly, the offensive route this time was to start from Rotterdam, and then carry out a formation to replenish the ammunition in the port of Plymouth, England, and then go straight to Spain. The reason why Sun Yuzhi wanted to stop them from Porto was that he judged that after they had sailed for a while, they would definitely have to take a rest, and the vicinity of Porto might be their supply target, so Sun Yuzhi planned to attack them while they were supplying, and it was better to wait for work than to rush into battle.

Sun Yuzhi only roughly judged the approximate location where the allied forces of England and the Netherlands might stop, but the specific location still needs to be observed on the spot. Theodosio was so familiar with the land and the port that he took Sun Yuzhi along the coastline in a speedboat to observe. Finally, when they sailed to Viana Castelo, they almost simultaneously thought about this place, which was a relatively prosperous town, with a good natural harbor, and not much defense, just a very ideal supply location, so they decided to wait not far to the east.
