Ruan Dacheng, traitorous ministers!

But if you can be a traitor, you don't have a bad brain! While the rest of the directors were still discussing how to save the United East India Company from the great decline it was facing, he kept pinching his chin and thinking about what Mao Jue meant by this wonderful word.

Like him, he didn't say a word, but only Mao Jue himself, in addition to the question he just sent out and then praised a wonderful word, Mao Jue has also been listening calmly, listening to these shareholders you and I express their opinions word by word.

However, listening to the heated discussion of these shareholders, Mao Jue's heart is becoming more and more disappointed, since the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism, China's heavy agriculture and suppression of business have been 1,7800 years, the current businessmen, at least in front of them and their ancestors in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are like what Tao Zhu Yidun Lu Buwei is really far behind, they are used to being parasitic products under power, and Luzon, which has settled down, is directly forgotten by them, as for the five countries in turmoil in Central and South China, some hope that Mao Jue will send troops to intervene, Some simply plan to spend money to deal with which big officials and aristocrats, and as for the company's current predicament, more than a dozen major shareholders have unanimously adopted the same method.

Discount!

It is estimated that they are expected to kill people and plunder goods and grab land everywhere like Western colonists, and they have a long way to go, so they coughed helplessly, interrupted Zhao Deyong's words, put their right arm on the table and stretched out their hand forward, Mao Jue opened his mouth and wanted to put forward his belly draft proposal, but at this juncture, Ruan's beard, who had a layer of sweat beads on his head, suddenly hugged his fist heavily.

"Your .....Majesty, the big boss, the contemptible people think of the southeast of the Miss Luo why to stop the mutual market of Haiphong, so that Annan is also chaotic, although the city is a vassal of Annan, but the two countries are feuding, originally the south of Annan including Haiphong all the way to the sea, are all Zhancheng, and the land of Linyi in the Tang Dynasty, Annan is small and belligerent, once the turmoil, it will definitely not be able to hold back, to the Zhancheng knife, Zhancheng is small, can not parry, but also have to ask me for help from the Ming Dynasty, when the time comes, my East India Company will be left and right, and the fisherman can make all the profits!"

"Everyone!"

The sleeves wiped the sweat off his forehead, and Ruan Dacheng stood up suddenly. Facing the major shareholders who were full of surprise, he hugged his fist heavily: "The company has been in operation for six years, and the seven branches of the five southeast countries are orderly and vigorous under the management of Miss Luo, although the five countries are chaotic this time, the fault is not in her, and among us, no one knows the actual situation of the five countries better than her, rather than making blind ideas here, it is better to put power in her, anyway, it can't be worse than now!" ”

"In the name of the executive director, Ruan suggested that the command of the company's eight gunboats, including Xingluo, Yanshang, Kaihai, and Hushi, and the company's eleven mercenary regiments in Borneo, be handed over to Director Luo Yu, and make a special trip to set up an accounting team, and Director Luo Yu will decide the import and export list of the five countries and seven departments, what do you think?"

Ruan Dacheng's words really stunned those directors, deafening, heavy agriculture and suppressed business for thousands of years, businessmen are ATMs for the government! Pig! Therefore, politics is also a forbidden area for businessmen, especially in front of Mao Jue, the emperor, Ruan Dacheng actually suggested provoking a war between the two subject countries! There was also sweat on the door of the head, and for the first time, Zhao Deyong looked at Mao Jue tremblingly.

But what made him sweat even more was that he didn't know when, Mao Jue was already lying on his back on the chair, his hands in front of his chest, without saying a word, but his face was full of playful smiles looking at their group of directors, and he didn't know if he agreed, or his heart was full of murderous sneers.

The silence lasted for a few seconds, but Zhao Deyong still decided to take a conservative route, and he shook his head with difficulty.

"We are businessmen, we should abide by the law and provoke a war between the two countries, it is too ridiculous, Lord Ruan's words, the old man dare not agree!"

He took the lead in coming up with his opinions, and followed the other major shareholders below and began to stand in line, fourteen executive-level shareholders, eight supported Lao Cheng, only three were younger, and one was a British who stood on Ruan Dacheng's side.

In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Mao Jue again.

Even if he is removed from his status as emperor, Mao Jue, who owns forty percent of the assets, also has the strength to make a final decision, the reason why Luo Ning was able to serve as the chairman of the board of directors above all shareholders is because Mao Jue granted his voting rights to Luo Ning, in Zhao Deyong and Ruan Dacheng's worried eyes, Mao Jue finally stood up slowly, bent down, and took out a red rose medal from his waist pocket, and put it on his chest in Ruan Dacheng's stupid gaze.

Now, the old shareholder Zhao Deyong almost didn't cry, the Blood Rose Badge, the flower badge of the representative of the royal family, is also the identity token of the Imperial Property Committee, Luo Ning had one before, and now Mao Jue handed this thing to him, which is equivalent to handing over the rights and interests of the executive chairman of the board of directors of the East India Company to this wilted bearded fat man, and he made a mistake!

Fortunately, his stakes were not as high as those of Ruan Dacheng, and although he was full of remorse, he at least had no actual loss for the time being.

When a group of guys had different faces and were full of complexities, Mao Jue, who had done this series of actions, still sighed secretly, reached out and dragged the circle chair he was sitting on a little forward, and then coughed heavily.

"I basically agree with Director Ruan's suggestion! But I also want to add a few points, first of all, from the overall situation, this United East India Company is not only the emperor's company, but also yours, I will make a profit with you, and I will lose money with you! Secondly, the United East India Company was not held for a year or two, maybe a hundred years, a hundred years, and lived with the Empire! So we have to take a long-term view! ”

"So my opinion, is ......"

...............

A few months ago, Nanming suffered an economic crisis, a group of decades and hundreds of years of maritime merchant families except for bankruptcy and death, did not come up with any countermeasures, and finally Zhang Pu took advantage of Luo Ning's sense of responsibility to Luo Jin, and transferred the consequences of this economic crisis to the East India Company, and now, also facing difficulties, the company's response is unprecedentedly fierce.

First of all, in the center of Hangzhou, which has been expanded four or five times, in the spacious garden in front of the Imperial Square, an incomparably large fire is burning.

After growing for a hundred years, hundreds of taels of rosewood were thrown to the bottom layer to act as a firestarter, and then buckets of South China Sea pearls, thousands of taels and a pound of dipterocarp, a few taels of lavender, pepper, and lemongrass were all baskets and baskets of still into the fire, as well as cat's eye tortoiseshell, all kinds of gemstones, ivory rhino horns, boxes by boxes were transported out of the headquarters of the East India Company, opened, displayed, and then thrown into the fire.

Every time, it attracts the crowd of onlookers, whether rich or poor, they can't help but exclaim, every one of them burns a lot of silver!

Sitting on the third floor of the Imperial Square, facing the large glass, the fire burning in Mao Jue's pupils was also beating. In addition to leaving a part of this quarter's sales, the remaining nearly 15 million taels of Southeast Asian goods purchased by Luo Ning were burned under his order!

I remember the economic crisis in the United States that I learned when I was in school, the poor could not eat, but the big capitalists would rather pour milk into the river, throw away the meat and rot, burn the clothes, and destroy all kinds of industrial products, rather than take them out and distribute them to the poor.

But only now did he understand the painstaking efforts of these capitalists and the Roosevelt administration, which was in power at the time.

Originally, the economic crisis was caused by inflation, too many goods on the market, and lack of consumption, if these things were given away in vain, the poor would still have no job after eating, and the rich factory owners and farmers would still be unwilling to use people because they had no sales, and the society would collapse!

Only by eliminating these surplus products, shrinking the value of production to an appropriate amount, or even less than the market demand, and re-increasing the demand and allowing business to be active again, can the problem of social crisis be fundamentally solved.

Of course, the current economic environment is far less complex and difficult than the depression of the Roosevelt era, and the only dilemma facing the East India Company is that the overstocking of imported luxury goods in Southeast Asia has hit producers. Far from the level of a large-scale economic crisis.

The directors' suggestion to reduce the price and open a position to sell was directly denied by Mao Jue, from later generations, Mao Jue knows the value of the brand too well, and now pull down the value of these luxury tycoons in the future, these luxury tycoons will not look down, and the sale will further saturate the market, which is also the beginning of the crisis, the company is now collecting back the little silver is not enough to lose in the future, rather than this, it is better to break the wrist of the strong man!

This fire goes down, saving the value of these imported luxury raw materials from Southeast Asia, and also saving the market, with a good market, just tens of millions of taels of silver, you can come back in a few years! This is also what Mao Jue said to look forward!

And this economic crisis is not all bad! It brings to the surface a series of evils.

A few days after the burning of goods in Hangzhou, those Ming plantation owners who moved to Luzon finally received the belated order this year, as well as the compensation and contract from the colonial governor's palace, from this year, the Luzon plantation owners and merchants and the East India Company's cooperation model has completely changed, no longer a simple you buy and I sell, in the future every autumn, the United Company will release next year's orders in advance according to the sales of the year, the plantation owners produce according to demand, eliminating the inflation crisis of overproduction.

Mao Jue's hand is not a flood of sympathy or a whim, don't look at this Southeast Asian crisis, Luzon Isles is the most safe and sound, but Huang Degong's martial arts means to force things down, but it is the most hurtful to the people, in the case that the shareholders did not pay attention, more than a month, there have been more than 20 plantation owners who plan to return to Daming, once this kind of Nanyang momentum is hit, whether it is the company or Daming, the loss is not just a silver tael, but the entire colony!

But now this contract change has come at the right time, not only the plantation owners who have lost faith have returned, but also brought a new round of enthusiasm to the South Seas.

There is also the reform of the company's own rights model, how to put an end to the next Luo Ning incident! It's just that Mao Jue didn't interfere in the matter, he completely delegated power to the newly appointed executive chairman of the board of directors, the traitor Ruan Dabeard! There is no way, on the one hand, he needs to guard against the privilege, but on the other hand, he can't hand over the emperor's absolute privilege now, so he can only let them decide how to prevent and contain without making a move.

........

Just when the Hangzhou headquarters was arguing over the matter of power, the core of this storm, Luo Ning finally ended her escape journey and fled to Nanjing City.

But instead of a warm hug and a hot meal, she was greeted with a cold face.

"What are you doing here?"

In front of the gate of the mansion, which had been renovated, Luo Zhen was coldly holding his arms and intercepting there, and there was no sign of letting his own sister in.

"Xiao Jin, I ....."

Shrewd and capable on weekdays, mature aura, the former shopkeeper Luo has now disappeared completely, wearing a cloak, pitiful like a puppy in the water, red eyes, extremely difficult, Luo Ning said aggrievedly.

"Into the Wenzhou batch of goods, I, I poked a big basket for the company, causing a big deficit, Hangzhou can no longer stay, I, I can only come to you!"

"Don't call me Xiao Jin, this official is the minister of the Ming Empire's Sanpin Zhengyin! And what do you want me to do? Do you want me to take on this responsibility? The official didn't let you buy that batch of goods! ”

Luo Ning's cold answer made Luo Ning stunned, and the next moment, she was even more excited and grabbed Luo Jin's sleeve.

"I didn't mean that! It's just ....., it's just that I have no place now, only you, my own brother! My sister really has no choice, so I came to you, even if it's for the sake of sister and brother, please take my sister in!! ”

Luo Ning's pleading didn't finish speaking, she was already screaming, and was thrown to the ground by her own brother, in her disbelief, Luo Zhen pointed at her face irritably, and snorted with a sneer.

"Sister and brother love? Since you instigated that anti-thief, the biggest traitor in the whole world, to cut off my leg, since then, we have no sister-brother relationship, not to mention that this official is the minister of the Ming Empire, you are just an anti-thief mistress who does not abide by women's morals, and you are ruining the reputation of this official here! Get out of here! Don't let me see you again! ”

"Xiao Zhen !!"

Screaming heartbreakingly, falling to the ground, Luo Ning stretched out his hand in panic, but Luo Zhen had already brushed his sleeves away, and with a bang, the dark door also slammed shut towards her.

Sitting on the cold steps in a daze, and then, hot tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes, hitting the ground along his cheeks, sobbing silently, a pair of beautiful eyes were red from crying, and for a long time, Luo Ning stood up with difficulty, looked desperately at the closed gate of Luofu, and swayed towards the busy street.

But at this moment, a stunned voice sounded behind her.

"Isn't this the treasurer of Luoda?"

Turning her head sluggishly, Zhang Pu's chic and solemn face under the Confucian crown met her eyes.

"How did you get there?"

Thanos is dead twice, Black Widow is dead, Iron Man is dead, Captain America is old, and the big guys are back.
