Chapter 711: The Wind Blowing to the Indian Ocean
@@@@@
The headquarters of the West Indian Ocean Trading Company is located in the old Song Gate, and there is no need to register the funds of the relevant departments to establish a trading company in this year, so no one knows what the establishment of this trading company means.
However, many people were quite curious about the name of the trading company, and at first they speculated that it was a trading house opened by Indian merchants, so it was called the West Indian Ocean Trading Company;
Nowadays, there are many barns opened by the Hu people in the city of Tokyo, and it is not surprising that an Indian merchant has come.
But they soon rejected this speculation, because since the establishment of the trading company, they had not seen a single Hu person come and go.
What's even more strange is that since the establishment of the trading company, no goods have been seen coming in or out.
What kind of trading company is this without goods?
Many people began to talk about it, and some tabloid reporters noticed this strange trading company.
The newspaper detective pretended to be a guest and wanted to go in to find out, but as soon as he walked to the gate of the trading company, he was stopped by the big man guarding the door: "This guest officer, who are you looking for?" ”
The language was very polite, but the tall body blocked the way, without the slightest sense of courtesy.
Bao Tanjia raised his eyebrows, and said in a rough voice: "Yo ho, I really haven't seen you like this, there are thousands of shops in this Tokyo city, which one sees a guest coming to the door, isn't it polite to welcome in, are you so in the way?" ”
"Guest, please come back, our trading company is different from other shops, and we don't sell goods here."
"You have a problem with your brain, what is your name trading company if you don't sell goods?"
"It is called a trading company if it does not sell goods, and it is called a shop when it buys goods. You can't even tell the difference between that, a certain family. You're the one who has a problem with your brain. ”
The detective wanted to grind a few sentences, but he heard the sound of cars and horses behind him. The handlebar type shouted in a loud voice: "Let me, let me!" ”
The detective didn't care about arguing with the man guarding the door, and hurriedly dodged away, this kind of luxurious carriage, at a glance, you know that it comes from a rich family, and you are afraid that you will be unlucky if you are hit in the way, he is the most senior detective in Tokyo, and his eyes are bright, how fast he can hide from such a moldy head.
The carriage went straight into the hospital. A middle-aged man in his forties soon got out of the car, and the newspaper detective who was about to leave couldn't help but lightly "Huh! With a sigh, he secretly said in his heart, isn't this the big housekeeper in Shen Shilang's mansion?
As the saying goes, the prime minister's family slave seven-grade official, the newspaper detective recognized this big housekeeper, and he was usually quite angry, but after seeing him get out of the car at this moment, he repeatedly made a gesture to a shopkeeper-like person who came out of the courtyard. I didn't dare to hold it up at all.
Now the newspaper detective is even more interested in this trading company, do you think, can you make a big butler of the squire's family bend his waist so low-browed, can the background of this trading company be simple?
In order to dig up the news. The newspaper detective guards outside the trading house all day, and this guard can startle him, only to see that most of the people who come are the stewards of some official eunuchs. After entering the hospital, they all lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to the eyes.
And these people didn't come to shop, at least when they didn't see them get in the car and leave. Comes with anything.
This made Bao Tanjia feel that this western Indian Ocean trading company was full of mystery.
After he pondered it, he felt that it was very rewarding. Hurrying back to the museum, he belonged to the more literary type, and after thinking about it, he wrote down a title: The Wind Blowing to the Indian Ocean.
This report is full of the imagination of the newspaper detective, and it is written at the beginning: With the increasing prosperity of the maritime trade of the Great Song Dynasty, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty are no longer satisfied with the trade of Nanyang and other countries, the sails of the voyage have been raised, and the fleet of the Great Song Dynasty has been full of goods, and is about to chop the waves and sail towards the Indian Ocean..........
As soon as the report came out, Tokyo was in an uproar, and the term western Indian Ocean became a hot topic on the streets overnight.
At the same time, this report also shook out one thing, that is, many official eunuch houses were very close to the newly opened Western Indian Ocean trading house, and it is likely that this trading house was run by these official eunuch houses.
Although most of the articles in this article are speculative, their speculations are surprisingly accurate, and they tell the trading company's goal of entering the Indian Ocean.
In addition, the names of many officials are clearly listed, and the fact that these officials are closely related to trading companies is pointed out.
Yang Yi saw this tabloid article for the first time, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
The list of officials listed in the article is basically officials of his family, and the fact that this matter was poked out so quickly made Yang Yi quite passive, because from this list of officials in the DPRK and China, it is not difficult to see that Yang Yi is behind the scenes.
He had to summon the two imperial envoys, Luo Cheng and Liu Hai, and ordered them carefully. As soon as the two left, Yang Yi gave another command to Liu Zhen, the chief of the guard.
Liu Zhen then rushed to Sanshenglou, Han Bier was meeting Xiao Feng, and when she saw Liu Zhen coming, she confessed to Xiao Feng, introduced Liu Zhen into the inner room, and asked first: "Grandpa Guo asked you to come, but it has something to do with the tabloid article?" ”
Liu Zhen replied respectfully: "Yes, Grandpa Guo asked Aunt Han to buy all the tabloids in Tokyo as soon as possible, but this matter cannot let outsiders know that our family is doing it, including the newspaper that was acquired;
Grandpa Guo also said that after the acquisition, it is necessary to organize manpower and run two or three of the most authoritative newspapers. These two or three newspapers could not let them know that they were behind each other, and in short, they must be in control of the direction of public opinion in Tokyo from now on. ”
"Well, I know, does Grandpa Guo have any other instructions?"
"Nope."
After Liu Zhen left in a hurry, Han Bi'er came out again to meet Xiao Feng. At this time, Xiao Feng ran to Sanshenglou almost every day, his family wealth was not less than five million, if he didn't find a strong backer as soon as possible, he would have trouble sleeping;
It took twenty or thirty thousand yuan last time, and it seems that he can climb the high branch of Yang Yi, but these days he keeps running to Sanshenglou, Han Bi'er has seen him once, and after that, it was the steward of the Yang family who received him.
The relationship between the two families has been stuck in the initial stage, and even basic business cooperation has not been reached, which can make Xiao Feng anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
He knew that Han Bi'er was deliberately drying him, but now that the West Indian Ocean Trading Company had been established, he had nothing to do, so Xiao could still sit still;
It is no exaggeration to say that now is to let him give away millions of family fortunes, and then obtain Yang Yi's protection, he will also give it without hesitation;
The Xiao family used to do trade between the Song and Liao countries, and now the boundary between the Song and Liao countries has been completely broken, and the officialdom relationship that his family has operated for generations is also gone, compared with the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, the Xiao family no longer has any advantages in all aspects, even if no one slaughters the Xiao family as a fat sheep, it is only a matter of time before his family falls.
As a veteran of the business world, Xiao Feng is more keenly aware of what the establishment of the Western Indian Ocean Trading Company means. Now only by climbing up to the Yang family, joining the West Indian Ocean Trading Company, and completing the transformation, can the Xiao family survive and develop more prosperously.
Not to mention a million, even if he gives half of his family wealth, Xiao Feng is willing to gamble on it, the problem is that sometimes there is nowhere to send money if you want to.
Don't think that if you are rich, others will look down on you, a family like the Yang family can be described as tilting towards the government and the opposition, and it is easy to pinch you to death.
One is not good, people don't want half of you, and it is not difficult to find a reason to swallow you even to the bone.
