Chapter 47 Establishment of a Company in India (Part II)

"It's not that the company hasn't thought about what you're talking about. The Nanyang Company, on the other hand, was quite dissatisfied with the three legal trading ships, and in their words: they tried their best to pay customs duties to Spain, but the Spanish crown did not want to collect them. After all, there are still many inconveniences in smuggling. Therefore, the attitude of the Nanyang Company was very resolute, and if there was a war with Spain, their bottom line would be the legal right to trade with the two Spanish viceroyalties. As long as there is this bottom line, they support it 100%. ”

The young man, who was quite talented in colonial affairs, nodded: "In that case, there is no problem in the south." In the east, if you want to make a move in Malacca, the Mexican Party's power over there cannot be bypassed. Without their support, it wouldn't work. ”

The organizer of the banquet smiled: "There is no problem with this. We have tea, we have raw silk, and what we can sell is basically not sold there, and it is a huge empire, and the company can't get anything there, and now even if the people of the Mo Party beg us to meddle in the affairs of the Ming Empire, we will not interfere. It's just that here's the ...... The Mexican Party members are engaged in the withdrawal of shares in the Nanyang Company, and they strongly oppose the two profit models of the slave trade and the plundering of land rent, and I am afraid that those people with bad brains will stick to their bottom line and make trouble for us in Wangbeicheng. As we all know, the company is going to rent land. ”

"Don't worry. The Mexican Party only made a high-profile withdrawal in Minjun, but except for writing articles, it did not make drastic moves. What would happen to the Mexican Party if it were to ban the Party, confiscate its property, prohibit the association of hired workers, and strictly censor newspapers? Don't even think about it, you must make drastic moves. They have a bottom line, but they also have concessions, and they can only mobilize public opinion to fight for the legislature of the council on the two things of slavery and rent, but they will never oppose the republic, at least not for now, and these two things cannot be supported by the majority. The Mexican Party does not yet control the council, so they have to stay alone. If necessary, if they really object, then accuse them of treason, so that they will never be able to turn over. It is the best way to use all the reasons for the interests of the community and all for the sake of the republic to oppose their equal and free rights of all. ”

The people behind the company at the banquet discussed it and asked, "Leaving aside the matter of the Mexican Party for the time being, according to the book of global observations, the Portuguese have a strong influence on the coast of India?" ”

"Yes, I've heard those people say it in Wangbei City and Pattani. Whenever a number of ships sailed through the Indian Ocean, the Portuguese fleet was often forced to dock and expel them. Moreover, the Jesuit missionaries were treated very highly in the hands of the King of India, just as we did not choose to look for opportunities in Macao and Guangzhou in the Ming Empire, where the Portuguese were politically powerful and prone to rumors. Therefore, if you want to gain a foothold there, you must go to war with Portugal, at least to crush the power of the Portuguese at sea. ”

"You're saying that the upfront investment is huge, and it doesn't necessarily take time to see a return?"

Someone asked, and the rest of the people looked anxious.

They only thought of occupying the pit with the help of rights after seeing the huge profits of Nanyang Company, and how to operate it was still just a fantasy in their heads. When they heard that a lot of investment was needed upfront, they were very concerned.

"It depends on whether you want to be rich in this world, or if you want to leave a great inheritance for your family."

Hearing this, some people were a little interested, shook their heads, and said: "If you want to keep an estate for the family, I should take out a lot of money to go to places like the Great Wilderness City and the Black Swan River now, and enclose land and immigrate there." ”

When young people hear this, they know in their hearts that if they want to be valued, they must say something amazing, otherwise their ambitions will not be realized at all.

He chuckled, not sarcastic or disrespectful, but still in a somewhat respectful tone: "Not really. There are few people there, and even if you put money into it, people will flee in a few years. But what is the use of having empty land if there is no one in the manor, who cannot dominate the people in the manor? The Great Wilderness City is in the hands of the Mexican Party, and if you invest money there, you may be 'owned by the laborers' in 30 years; There are many reasons for disputes within the Mexican Party; Outside of the ethnic group, it only needs to say that the interests of the ethnic group are greater than everything else, and the Mexican Party will be much more passive. You eat meat, the rest drink soup, India is the safest place, and it is also the longest-lasting place, which is a 'potosΓ­ silver mine' where the family has flourished for hundreds of years. Since it was conquered by many people and became an emperor, why can't we do it if someone else did it? Is there anything more lucrative than collecting poll tax and land rent and not being criticized and revolted at home? ”

"Domestically, there are risks after all. The bottom is like firewood, once the fire burns in the future, who can guarantee it? The country has gone too far, and there are riots and rebellions at both ends for three days, and the reputation is not good. Now that there are no countries around the republic, where will the military merits be earned? Without military merits, how can you keep your family immortal for a long time? What is the income from these lands compared to the speed at which Nanyang Company makes money? Decades later, without military merit and without enemies, everything can only be looked at silver coins, which is the trend of the times. It is necessary not only to constantly create enemies, but also to make profits after creating enemies, so that more people can drink soup, so that it can be stable and long-lasting. If you don't go outward, you can only create enemies inward, but are you willing to face a group of people of the Republic who admit that it is not wrong to rebel if they can't survive at the time of the founding of the country? ”

In order to win attention, young people speak impassionedly, knowing that if they don't say it more heavily at this time, it will be difficult for them to have a place to stand; At this time, if these people are not engaged, it will be difficult for them to achieve their ambition to achieve a career by relying on the knowledge of circumnavigating the world and the means of interest analysis learned in the Mexican Party.

said angrily, at most he didn't invest or was kicked out of this banquet, but if he didn't invest, all his ambitions couldn't be supported, and there was no loss to his personal goals. If you are convinced, you will be able to show your strength in India, and perhaps a hundred years later, you will be a rising family.

But everyone didn't bow their heads immediately, and each of them groaned for a while and asked: "As you said, is it Bo who is rich in this world or Bo family who is long-lasting, what is the difference?" ”

"If Bo is rich in this world, he doesn't need to invest too much, and with the help of Britain and the Netherlands, he will fight against Portugal together. The three countries joined forces to take Malacca, and the three countries could pass through the garrison and share the cost of the fortress artillery soldiers. The tripartite position is to divide the spice trade equally and India's trade rights equally. Spices can also be profitable in the country, and the domestic population and market are sufficient, as long as they can monopolize the value, it must be expensive. ”

"If you want your family to be long-lasting, you need to invest a lot. We want to drive out the Portuguese, but we also want to make trouble in Europe, create chaos in Europe, and make sure that we can have it alone, even if they react, they can't intervene. Monopolizing India and spices not only monopolizes domestic sales, but also monopolizes sales to Europe. Taking advantage of India's cotton and cheap untouchable labour, and the absence of the Moxican Party to take the lead in the twelve-hour workday, factories and workshops were set up to crowd out the local handicrafts. ”

"It is necessary to have both land rent and commodity profits, and to change the bulk of the family's income from the rent of the land of military merit to the rent of the company's management and the profits of the big workshops disguised as profits. When it really got out of control, he was transformed into a bourgeois leader rather than a much-criticized rentier landlord. In this way, even if the world changes, as long as private ownership remains unchanged, the family will not fall. ”

"Once the winged caterpillar turns into a butterfly, you only need to deal with the Mo Party. There is no need to deal with the middle and lower strata of the land who are clamoring for unfair land and the developed southern capitalists, as is the case now, and give the Mexican Party a chance to unite with them. Now that the decision to set up a company has been made, we are not those old-fashioned and reactionary families, nor are we conservative and moralistic people who mend traditional values. Revolution is the life of the old forces, not the life of a specific person. If the old forces become new forces, will we still be reformed? ”

Inadvertently, the title was changed from you to us, but everyone at the banquet did not refute, or did not realize it, or it was a kind of encouraging acquiescence, and the young people were overjoyed and waited for everyone's answer.

He said it so boldly because he understood that these families who had taken the first steps to establish a company were not the kind of reactionary and conservative families. After all, the rent-seeking system of crony capital is not a reactionary force that wants to retreat to the era of the patriarchal guilds, nor is it a motionless conservative traditional value moralist, those two kinds of young people who have been educated by the Mexican Party for several years seem to be finished sooner or later, but these people can be transformed into chaebol forces.

Of course, all this is closely related to his own business in India. If the profits are large enough that the profits of the land are getting lower and lower, then the revolution against the old-fashioned, reactionary, conservative people will only suck the blood of mosquitoes, and will not touch the bones, and the families will still control the republic in the future.

Perhaps, the young man who studied in a school controlled by the Mexican Party for two years and followed Chen Jian to the sea and was influenced by many things, agrees with the ideals and ideas of the Mexican Party in his heart, and may even believe that there will be a revolution led by the Mexican Party in the future, and he also believes that these are beneficial to the future.

It's just that it's too long ago and there's no end in sight, so what does it have to do with yourself?

Born in the world, born as a five-ding cook, you have to live a vigorous scenery, powerful and powerful, even if you believe in the Moxican Party, there is no hope in this life, so why fight?

This is the Word, and hopelessness has nothing to do with it.

But in terms of technique, it is very useful.

It's better to use his skills and give up his way to seek a future with infinite scenery for himself. Even if he is killed in the fifth life, it is worth it to be able to leave a name in this world of great contention in this life.
