The butterfly effect is so real and terrifying!

In the spring, Luo Ning acquired the southern goods hoarded by those Nanming merchants in Wenzhou last autumn at a high price, which not only consumed more than 20 million taels of working capital of the joint company, but more fatally, embezzled a valuable market share!

Although the Ming Dynasty has now ended the domestic war for many years and has become prosperous again, the population of the Northern Dynasties is only fifty or sixty million, whether it is Sumu or Nanzhu, dipterocarp, Burmese cui is still a luxury, and the common people are rare to have a luxury a year, and the demand for dignitaries is not much, especially after experiencing a hoarding and selling, which hurt the market, the inventory that Luo Ning forcibly purchased was enough for the East India Company to market for more than two or three years, and it was almost unprofitable marketing, losing money!

In order to make up for a mistake, the experienced female shopkeeper has started a series of crazy mistakes, in order to make up for the company's losses on the books, Luo Ning completely ignored the industrial chain formed in Southeast Asia over the years, reduced the share of imported luxury goods to a minimum, and greatly increased the number of exports, but she was propped up like this, and it became a terrible crocodile pliers.

At this time, Luo Ning was scared, desperate, and lonely, she chose to confess to Mao Jue, but after confessing, the female shopkeeper made the last fatal mistake, three days after the black book was issued, Luo Ning could no longer bear the pressure of the mountain, she abandoned the company and fled!

Even the closest assistants around him, the secretary didn't bring it, slid down from the office on the third floor with a rope made of curtains, covered her beautiful face with a headscarf, and mixed out of the company with the assistant's identity certificate, no one could have imagined that the eldest lady of the Luo family, who was really a candidate for the princess, would take this step, and it was unexpectedly for everyone that she escaped from Hangzhou.

On the third day of Luo Ning's escape, three splendid and incomparably gorgeous sail gunboats arrived at Hangzhou Bay.

Public is public, private is private, Mao Jue's own industry is completely independent of the household department, with Wen Bo's son Wen Xunzhi as the management director, gathered a group of Wen family, a small number of Yu Hang Mao's descendants, relatives Chen family, Yu family, and even the former royal Zhu family can rely on talents, Mao Jue formed his own imperial property committee, and handed over the industries he has invested and built over the years to them to manage, which is considered to have a small group in his hands.

However, a small imperial property committee does not even have a nine-grade sesame official, but even a first-grade scholar has to tremble and serve carefully, because Mao Jue is really a god of wealth! Among the five major groups in the world, he owned 30% of the shares of the Liaoshang Group, he occupied 40% of the shares of the Mingying United East India Company, he invested 10% of the shares of the century-old salt and tea guild of the Huishang merchants, he invested 10% of the shares of the Jin Commercial Guild, and Mao Jue of the Shaanxi Commercial Guild, which operated the ancient tea horse road and the old Silk Road, did not look too much at it, but invested 8% of the shares.

In addition, he has a large number of steel factories and Lushun shipyards in Liaodong, thousands of hectares of sugar cane plantations and spice gardens in Southeast Asia, pearl tidal flats, and several large mines in the New World.

It is estimated that if you desperately collect money, let the civil officials and doctors scold you for most of your life to shave 30 or 40 million taels of Wanli Emperor Quanxia has knowledge, and you have to come back to life with anger, the same emperor, why is the gap so big?

It was also because of this prestige that the commissioner of the Imperial Senate Committee arrived, and on July 18, all the shareholders of the East India Company, all under the leadership of Ruan Dacheng, the temporary executive shareholder, went to the port to greet them.

These people are really wealthy, the best thick red carpet, ordinary people's weddings are also laid together, they directly spread the entire port, tens of thousands of square meters of red, extremely grand, those railings, trees, also tied with colorful silk, hot days, Ruan Dacheng and his party also wore heavy silk knighthood dresses, lined up in three neat columns waiting on the edge of the port.

Looking at this resplendent and majestic sail battleship slowly approaching the company's special harbor here, whether it was Ruan Dacheng or Zhao Deyong, Sun Shutong and other major shareholders were all relieved, especially Sun Shutong also whispered to Ruan Dacheng with emotion and relief: "The company is saved!" Looking at this posture, either the director Mr. Wen is here, or Mr. Taiping Bo Chen is here! ”

The major shareholders also nodded to each other easily, and the minority shareholders on the board of directors behind them couldn't help but feel relieved, but in their eyes, after the huge sail battleship was pulled to the shore by the slender man, a large number of royal guards wearing high-pointed helmets wrapped in red velvet and red armor uniforms strode down viciously, and then stood in a large row in the harbor, holding the bayonet flintlock pistol that was murderous, in Ruan Dacheng's surprised gaze, An imperial guard strode up to them with the red velvet on his hat, pointing at the rich shareholders of the country, and shouted arrogantly.

"Your Excellency is not well! Thou art the knights, get on the ship and see you!"

What a big show!

However, Ruan Dacheng and other shareholders who were named still did not dare to slack off, agreed, and followed the captain of the escort to trot through the escort team and go up the boarding ladder, on the deck, there were actually a few female guards who touched the twenty or so fat and thin rich grandsons one by one with their small hands, not to mention any swords and swords, and even the cigarette pouch, pot, abacus and box were down, which allowed them to go to the bridge.

At this end, Ruan Dacheng was still guessing which big man in the Imperial Property Committee was coming, but Zhao Deyong, the veteran major shareholder who followed him, was weak, and he fell to the ground in a flutter, and said in an incredible panic: "Your Majesty, !!"

"Long live your majesty, long live, long live!"

This heart trembled, Ruan Dacheng also fluttered and lay on the ground, opposite him, sitting on the big sofa, like the admiral in One Piece, his right leg was arrogantly on his left leg, wearing a set of spiritual black robes similar to the tunic of later generations, and the sleeves of his chest were embroidered with a five-clawed dragon.

Not only because of Luo Ning, the United East India Company and its subsidiaries pay 150,000 taels of tax and silver every year, accounting for a quarter of the empire's tax revenue, and only the earliest developed Liaodong merchant gang can compete with it, and the annual tax and silver of the Liao merchants only reach 13 million, and the remaining Shaanxi merchants, Jin merchants, and Hui merchants are only 16 million taels tied to one piece, and three plus one piece can fight for a tie with it.

Looking at the shareholders sweating on his head, Mao Jue stood up suddenly, and asked with some surprise and anger: "What about Luo Ning?" Dare to poke such a big basket, she doesn't dare to come to see the widow in person? ”

glanced at each other, and finally saw everyone's eyes on their backs, including the three wasted old men of the Luo family, Ruan Dacheng bowed his head: "Back to Your Majesty!" Your Excellency the Executive Director, she ......, she defected!"

"Defection !!"

Mao Jue really buzzed his head, he and Luo Ning have been stumbling for so many years, even if they don't have too strong feelings, there is always an old relationship, if it is to be determined today, Mao Jue can't imagine that at this juncture, Luo Ning abandoned him, which annoyed him even more than the basket that Luo Ning stabbed!

For more than half a minute in astonishment, the angry Northern Emperor couldn't suppress his anger, lifted the big vase on the table, and smashed it on the ground.

But after all, it was Emperor Mao, not Chongzhen who was angry with others, venting a little, gasping for a few breaths violently, Mao Jue still forced himself to slow down, glanced at the shareholders kneeling on the ground, and waved his hand helplessly.

"You are all knights, just bow down, and get up to take matters into account! Come on, put the round table up, send someone to the company to get all the documents, I have to know what the situation is before I can figure out a way!"

"Your Majesty obeys!"

…………

Ruan Dacheng is still the first time to participate in this kind of meeting, especially as one of the resolution directors, he is still sitting at the front, the first time he is on an equal footing with the emperor, so that he only feels like a cactus on his buttocks, his fat head is sweating profusely, fidgeting, he is next to Mao Jue recently, but when he explained the situation, he didn't say a word, but Zhao Deyong, the big director who has been under Mao Jue for a long time, talked eloquently, and introduced the general situation, with the addition of other small and medium-sized shareholders, Mao Jue's brows were really twisted into a pimple.

Fortunately, the colony of Luzon is fine, and the owners of the big plantations that are now reclaimed there are basically the Ming people under the command of the East India Company, although the company suddenly cut off the purchase and caused them heavy losses, but it is not to the point of breaking the bones, the trade of the three islands of Luzon is quite normal, and the import of large quantities of rice, sugar, dried fruits and rubber and other commodities is still normal.

However, the population of Luzon is still too small, and the trade volume only accounts for one-fifth of the turnover of the East India Company, accounting for one-half of the trade volume, and the five countries and seven stacks of Central and South China are all in chaos, and after stopping the import of precious luxury goods such as suma, amber, and Burmese jade, a large number of industrial chains of the aristocratic elites of these countries have been dealt a heavy blow, and even the bulk business of exporting silk, tea, tobacco, metal products, and imported rice and medicinal materials cannot be carried out, because of the hoarding of 20 million taels of southern goods, there is a deficit of 30 or 40 million taels this year. The tax will be reduced by at least six hundred to eight million taels, and Mao Jue, who listened to it, twitched his cheeks like a toothache, pinched the chin and the merry mustache, and asked in a low voice after a long time.

"What can the Governor of the Luzon colony, Huang Degong, and the Central and Southern Seventh Division do? What do the directors do? ”

"Go back to the big boss! Lord Huang put state affairs first, and persuaded the big guys to go back, Luzon is not a big problem, but Miss Luo Yu, the director in charge of the Champa headquarters of the five Central and Southern Countries, has not yet reported any disposal plan!"

"Luo Yu!"

One Luo Ning is enough to make Mao Jue upset, and here a Luo Yu who has done nothing pops up, Mao Jue's head is a little bigger, and he can't help but pull the mustache on his chin again.

It is estimated that it was the problem caused by the Donglin party dispute, Ruan Dacheng finally came to his senses and hurriedly added.

"Your Majesty, not only did there be no reaction and disposal plan reported, a few days ago, the shopkeeper of the Annan Coastal Defense Branch also came to Han to accuse Miss Luo, and she forced the Coastal Defense Branch to stop import and export business activities, so that the originally calm Annan Kingdom also became chaotic!"

"It's all messed up?"

These words made Mao Jue subconsciously raise his eyebrows again, but after a while, he actually showed a smile and muttered.

"Wonderful!"

Wonderful?

I didn't expect Mao Jue to react like this, Ruan's beard shivered, and at the same time, his round brain also spun rapidly.

How wonderful?
