This ability is Hong Tao's best and the only one. With modern navigation knowledge combined with relatively primitive navigation equipment, how to do the best, Hong Tao has a wealth of practical experience and experience. If that damn guy in the sky suddenly throws himself back into the modern era, Hong Tao has already figured out what he should do. He wants to use modern tools and antique materials and craftsmanship to imitate a sailing warship 100% as much as possible, and then recruit a group of like-minded sailing enthusiasts to follow the footprints of Magellan and Columbus in a pure and primitive way, and finally complete their ideals, and have a voyage around the world, antique! I don't dare to say that only I can do it, but if I can do it 100% in a primitive way, I must play it best, because no one has this opportunity to practice except myself. In later generations, there were people who played antique sailing boats, but if there was one, it would be assisted by modern navigation equipment and communication equipment, and if those things were thrown away, modern people would not be very good at sailing.

Fifteen days, Hong Tao did not waste a minute or a second, and in the same way as a race, he divided the sailors on the cargo ship into three shifts, and supplemented some with the sailors on the battleship, becoming five shifts. People do not stop the boat, no matter day and night, they have to maintain full sail speed, which makes a perfect performance for these Southern Song Dynasty maritime merchants. At the same time, I also told those captains with practical actions that there are still a lot of things you don't know, learn slowly, don't just know how to drive a ship, just wagging your tail and shaking your eggs.

Chairman Hong ...... Do you sell these boats? "When the fleet entered the Lingding Ocean, Hong Tao began to recall the sailors of the ships and prepare to return home. The merchant ships had cargo on their ships, and their warships carried more than 200 slaves and 40 horses. There can be no delay. The crew has been away from home for more than half a year. I am also very worried about what has become of Jinhewan. Just when I said goodbye to all the maritime merchants. Some people made a request, and they coveted these cross-sail warships, which were not only sturdy and safe, but also fast, almost more than twice as fast as their traditional sea ships, and could run against the wind and crosswind, even if they were not as many as cargo ships, they were more suitable for use as merchant ships.

"I'm still saying that. If you give it to you for nothing, you won't be able to drive it, and if you don't do it, you will be in danger. I understand everyone's feelings, but the road has to be taken step by step, the food has to be eaten one bite at a time, and this kind of ship cannot be sold until there are enough sailors. But don't worry, I already have an idea to set up a special nautical school, and train qualified sailors for the company. Then we will build a cargo ship suitable for long-distance voyages, which can run faster than the current sea ships. And more than I have on these ships, how? "It's not that Hong Tao really doesn't want to sell the ship, it's just that the warship can't be sold, this is his own dependence. He hoped that the Southern Song Dynasty maritime merchants would sail faster and safer ships, so that he could take them to sail farther into the sea, and no longer have to worry about it.

"It's better to build it in Guangzhou, I have a house at home, and I am willing to donate it to run a school!" As soon as I heard Hong Tao say that he wanted to set up a school to train sailors for the company, he immediately reacted to the idea of adding capital to himself in the future.

"Yes, it will be built in Guangzhou, I pledge to donate!" Seeing that the house was robbed and donated by others, the rest of the people are not stupid, in the future, after the sailor training is completed, who will be given first and then to whom, it is not to see who supports it now, buyers and sellers never mind investing in advance, as long as there is hope for profit.

"I donate too! I donate too! "No one's brain is much smarter than the other, one person speaks up, and the others immediately react, and the scale of the school has not yet been clarified, and it is already necessary to pay for it.

"Everyone, everyone! Listen to me...... We have just returned from a long voyage, and the most important thing we should do now is to unload the cargo and go home to reunite with our families. As for running schools and shipbuilding, they are not things that can be accomplished overnight, and they still need to be considered in the long run. In this way, everyone will get together again in a few days, and it will be regarded as the official inaugural meeting of the company, and then we will not only discuss the company's position, but also discuss the school and shipbuilding by the way. Forget it today, I still have two daughters-in-law waiting at home, you are not in a hurry, I am in a hurry, get off the boat and get off the boat! "The more anxious everyone is, the less anxious Hong Tao is, this is the basic skill of doing business. As long as you can make others anxious, you will make money in this business, and what you should do at this time is to take another stretch, take the opportunity to raise the price depending on the situation, and put forward all the conditions you want.

"Chairman Hong, a few days ago in Cabalan Port, you said that our company still wants to buy shares, I don't know if it's true? I have a relative in Quanzhou, who also eats the bowl of rice of the maritime merchant, this time I went to sea, my capital was borrowed from him, if I can really buy shares, can I add him one? "The eviction order has been issued, these maritime merchants still refuse to go, if the thickness of the face is evaluated in the world, the merchant must be the first, and there is no tie. As long as their goal is not achieved, you beat them on the ground, they will still greet them with a smile, and any thief, liar, professional and technical woman, in front of them, they will be ashamed of themselves.

"No! Why let the people of Quanzhou come to rob us of our business in Guangzhou, they have never let us go to Quanzhou to sell goods on the ground! Qi Er, you are eating inside and out! Before Hong Tao could answer, more than half of the maritime merchants immediately quit, the concept of local protection has existed since ancient times, and the people who come out of every city or even every village are natural relatives, and if they don't hold a group, they will be bullied by others, which is the truth.

"Oops...... Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! Don't make noise, don't make noise! Listen to me...... There is no shortage of ways to make money on the sea, and there is not only such a market as a cannibal. Wherever our Da Song goods are transported, they are all pretty goods that can be used for money, we can not buy anything from them, but they can't help but buy ours, what is this called? This is called a seller's market, and the initiative is in our hands. The big cannibals that we traded with this time are just one of the tribes in the big cannibals, which is equivalent to a small city in the big food country, and there are many tribes like this, not to mention the maritime merchants of Quanzhou, even if the maritime merchants of Wenzhou and Mingzhou are pulled over, there is still money to be made. But there is one thing that I don't know if you feel it, the big food merchants are more capable than our Great Song merchants, they followed me to destroy the seven ports of the Zhulin country, and they are no worse than the soldiers. Then I have to ask, if you go to their country to do business in the future, will they also destroy you and take the goods directly? Hong Tao really admires the spirit and dedication of these maritime merchants, they are also tired of traveling and driving along the way, they are originally like half-dead soft worms, but when it comes to matters of interest, they immediately become alive, and several of them began to push each other, looking ready to do it.

“…… That, isn't that still the chairman, you ......" Hong Tao asked this question, which made all the maritime merchants a little overwhelmed. They saw the fierceness of those Arab merchants with their own eyes, attacking cities and plundering villages, killing people and setting fires without mercy, everyone silently weighed it in their hearts, and if they really wanted to face them alone, I am afraid that it would be more than lucky.

"I'm not a god, and I don't have three heads and six arms, so I can't escort each of us at sea all year round, right? If you have a new ship and a new sailor, will you still wait for the fleet organized by the company? Wouldn't it be more convenient to go out and trade on your own time? I can only help you clean up this route and occupy our fortress and trade market, and you can't let me guard the sea border for tens of thousands of miles alone, right? I don't have the ability to do that. So what to do? We've got to rely on a lot of people! You are all running at sea all year round, and you will be careful when you encounter a lone ship at sea, why? It's lonely, and it's in vain if you rob it! If we can attract more people to join, we will be able to travel together in the future. Get together five or six new clippers and get to Cabalan in two months, even if you encounter a few bad guys along the way, who will rob who is not certain, do you think this is the truth? In order to allow these maritime merchants to relax their regional concepts a little, Hong Tao had to endure the exhaustion on the deck, and he had to give a speech. The work of spreading ideas is really difficult and difficult, and if you want to convince a group of people, it is not possible to do it in a day or two, you have to say it every day, every month, every year, don't be afraid of verbose!

“…… In this way, we are stupid, and we all rely on Chairman Hong's decision. August 15 I came to do the east, don't fight with the little brother, the little brother I have a restaurant at home, everyone go back to find relatives and friends, who is willing to come, come together on that day, participate in the discussion or not, let them listen to Chairman Hong's high arguments, and live half their lives! In the next first farewell, you are also dispersed, you are not tired, you have to ask Chairman Hong if he is tired. You have eaten, drunk and slept in the cabin all day long, but Chairman Hong is directing the fleet to sail day and night, if it is not for the chairman himself to go into battle, are you still floating on the sea at this time! "There is no group in the world that can compare to businessmen. Once you give them benefits, or can give them benefits in the future, then they will not be stingy with the best compliments in the world, some of them are straightforward, some are subtle, and some are very thoughtful.

After the two questions of most concern were asked, these maritime merchants did not stay on Hong Tao's ship for longer, and walked faster than when they came, hula and scattered, and all ran back to their ships to drill into the mouth of the Pearl River, each more positive than the other. These little maritime merchants made more profits than usual ten times through this ocean-going trade, and the income from the slaves and selling them to the Arabs alone would wake them up laughing in the middle of the night, not to mention how much the spices, jewelry, and horses they brought back could be sold. And they are all high-quality goods, much better than the defective products that the Pu family got before. (To be continued.) )
