Chapter 67: Wooing Marven

In the next few days, Zhao Shichang was busy getting familiar with some simple government affairs, but Wang Kun was not idle. Because www.biquge.info there are too few people available now, the original scholars recruited from other places have been able to handle some things independently after less than three months of training and guidance from Wang Kun!

So while Zhao Shichang was silently dealing with those trivial matters, Wang Kun gathered all the people available to form a simple administrative system. For example, under Zhao Shichang's governor's palace, Wang Kun set up a military administration office and a civil affairs office for him.

Of course, this is because there are few people and few things at present, otherwise Wang Kun would not let one person take care of both military and civilian affairs. Because later generations proved that it was easy to produce warlords. Even if you trust someone no matter how much you can, and the status of Kuching in the General's Palace in the future is really not very important.

Therefore, in order to solve the shortage of manpower, there is really no need to be so meticulous now! Wang Kun still doesn't trust Zhao Shichang!

In addition, after on-the-spot investigation and discussion, Wang Kun finally agreed to Zhao Shichang's proposal to build the Governor's Palace in Kuching. And the location has been selected for the construction of the governor's palace in the future, and a piece of space has been set aside next to it to be used for the construction of the county government and the office of officials!

The basic planning and formation of the county government has been completed, and a plaque reading 'Kuching County Government Office' has been hung on the door of a room next to the original port office! This is a temporary office before the county government is built, and the departments inside are not shabby at all!

For example, entering from the door is a few desks, which are the Department of Commerce and Industry, this desk as the name suggests is to deal with, business includes business registration, business taxation, and industry is left until after the rise of handicrafts!

The Gold Mining Special Business Office, which is specially designed to handle the registration and taxation of gold mining companies after the opening of gold mining rights in the future, is used to relieve the pressure on the Commercial Department!

The Agricultural and Civil Affairs Department and the Public Security Administration Department are mainly responsible for dealing with the affairs of ordinary people!

Although Wang Kun is making do with everything now, Wang Kun is a resolute subdivision of the management department. Because history proves that the administrative methods of later generations are reasonable, as for the traditional county lord to manage all the affairs of the entire county, then forget it!

After forming the administrative unit, Wang Kun handed over the matter here to Zhao Shichang!

However, Wang Kun's work here has not been completed, he has more important things to be busy with, that is, to expand his business, here he must also convince someone!

Shilongmen, the original place where the British prisoners were held!

Since Wang Kun recruited all these British into the army, the guards here have all been withdrawn!

Except for those excellent soldiers, who were left here by Wang Kun to help Xie Wu, other British prisoners were taken to Manila by Wang Kun.

Originally, there were nearly 200 people in the station, but now there are less than 50 people left, and they have all moved to the original barracks, so when Wang Kun came here, it was still a little deserted!

However, Wang Kun didn't come here to find them this time, to be exact, only one person still lives here.

Marvin

Yes, at present, there is only Marven left here, Wang Kun recruited all the people under him, and only Marven himself was left here!

In fact, Marven himself has never figured out why Wang Kun hangs himself here alone!

Did he forget about himself?

Obviously not, he didn't believe that Wang Kun, a treacherous demon, would forget him, because he could go to the barracks to eat every day, and it was allowed by Wang Kun!

So when he suddenly saw Wang Kun coming here today, Marven was not particularly surprised. He was just curious about what this man was going to do with him!

Wang Kun came to this courtyard again, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, I remember that the last time Wang Kun came over, he still brought the army and shocked these Brits!

So when these British soldiers joined their own army, they all behaved very honestly and hardworking! Of course, the main thing is that they are all paid to their satisfaction!

"Hey! Marven, how are you doing in the last few days? I don't know why, whenever I see Marven's expression like a dead father, Wang Kun is inexplicably happy!

"Damn! You're not welcome here, please get out! Marven was upset when he saw Wang Kun's face, this person not only robbed his ship, gold and silver, but even his crew was taken away! The most hateful thing is that he is still restricting his personal freedom!

"Huh! Marven, this is your fault, this is my territory! I can come when I want, and I can go when I want, and no one can tell me anything! ”

After speaking, he looked at Marven and looked at himself with an indignant face, Marven had already let Wang Kun torture without temper!

"Okay, I'm not here to make you uncomfortable! I also know that my actions have caused you a great loss! ”

It's okay if Wang Kun doesn't say it, but as soon as he says this, Marven becomes even more angry.

Nima! As for it? I robbed all this robbing, and I actually went back to humiliate myself, how hateful this person must be!

"You don't have to look at me like that, your country does the same, and you don't deny that this is known to everyone, so you don't lose anything by doing this. And you will ...... in the future."

Wang Kun originally wanted to say that you will bring us even more suffering in the future. But after thinking about it, they didn't have this opportunity in the future, so they stopped.

"What happened after that? I won't let you go in the future! Marven was surprisingly angry, and today he felt that this person had come to humiliate him.

What happened after that? This is obviously justifying his own atrocities!

"Huh! Don't be in a hurry to listen to me, as I just said, I'm not here to make you unhappy this time! I'm here to work with you! ”

After Wang Kun finished speaking, he showed his signature smile, if Zhang Lei and Zhao Shichang were there, they would definitely be very familiar, because every time he negotiated with someone or fooled someone, he would show this expression. It is easy to convince people, and infects the people around them, and finally convinces them that what Wang Kun said is right!

"Cooperation?" Marven looked at Wang Kun with a vigilant expression, he didn't know what kind of moth this person was going to make! But he knew that once this person smiled, it was probably nothing good!

"That's right! Not only will you get five percent of the equity without paying a penny, but you will also become the general manager of the company! ”

Wang Kun guided Marven in a seductive tone, as if he had given the other party a great benefit!

"What do you mean by not having to pay a penny? You've taken all my £10,000 and my ship! ”

Marven now has the heart to strangle Wang Kun, Nima! Can it be a little more shameless?

"You don't have to think about that, but if you promise us to work together, then just five percent of the shares will be enough for you so much money! What's more, I will pay you a salary at that time, and I guarantee that I will earn more than you originally earned by shipping! ”

The last sentence Wang Kun is completely nonsense, although it can be realized after Wei Feng grows stronger, but now after all, Wei Feng's power is still very weak, and it is completely impossible to support the profits he said!

"Why do you want to work with me?" Marven knew that he couldn't escape the palm of this person's hand now. And even if you can escape, so what?

Do you really want to go back and be a bankrupt businessman? How did you face those who laughed at you at the time?

Seeing that Marven had loosened up, Wang Kun knew that he was not far from success, so he had to step up his offensive next!

"As for why I asked you to cooperate, I think you are the most educated of your group! With the support of our Weifeng company behind the addition, it will be difficult for us to make money if we don't want to! ”

There is a reason why Wang Kun wants to cooperate with Marven. First of all, at present, there is not a single captain with the ability to sail long distances in the entire Wei Feng and even the entire Chinese forces. And Marven can sail the ship from England here, then his long-distance sailing ability must be passable!

And then there is the fact that at present, whether it is trading with the British or with the Thirteen Lines at that time, it is inseparable from the Westerners who think they have experience.

This is easy to understand, if a group of Chinese sailed to Guangzhou, then the government would definitely take precautions in many ways, and it was even possible to arrest them.

It's such a, because at this time the Qing government was still very wary of overseas Chinese. Because in the images of the Manchu emperors, almost most of the anti-Qing forces fled overseas!

Therefore, Wang Kun can imagine that if he came to Guangzhou by boat, then even if it was just a simple trade, it would be embarrassing and constrained!

But if you give these to the British, it's different! Although foreigners were under the rule of the Manchus at this time, they were far from being comparable after the Opium War! However, that is also more reassuring than a group of Chinese people in Guangzhou!

Therefore, this is Wang Kun's plan, Wang Kun wants to let Marven, an Englishman, be the manager of his Yuanhang Maritime Trading Company, and let him be in charge of the sea trade from Guangzhou to South Luzon.

Wang Kun's ultimate goal was that by the early 19th century, he would be able to cover no less than 60 percent of the thirteen lines of foreign trade!

That's a trade of tens of millions of taels! Even if it's just a bite out of it, it's a big deal!

Wang Kun could already imagine that when Zhang Lei made the steam engine, then Wang Kun would have the ability to make more steamships, and then from Guangzhou to the East India Company. There is no longer to wait for the monsoon, and the steamer runs faster than the average sailboat.

Think about Wang Kun's fleet when the time comes, and they will be angry that they will make less money in this section at that time? Or are you happy to be able to get the goods at any time?

Of course, the most important thing is that Wang Kun wants to block the British ships, whether they are merchant ships or naval ships, to the west of the Indian Ocean! Whether the opium will be able to be transported to China again at that time is difficult to say! xh:.
