Chapter 593: Instant Transport, Arbitrage!
Liu Asheng is now the first lady of Lanfang Company, and more people in Lanfang Company are actually called Lanfang Country, anyway, that's how foreigners see it. And Jiatai, that is, the supreme ruler.
And this position, according to Westerners, is the result of democratic politics, it is elected!
There are also some Yulu, but there are not many, and it is really not easy for Lanfang Company to go down for so many years. And it depends on the joint efforts of everyone, the unity of these Chinese diaspora abroad, and the harmonious relationship formed between everyone is not divided into each other......
To be honest, in Li Mengyang's eyes, the situation of Lanfang Company is a bit communist, it is really like this. However, there is another explanation for this situation, and that is the social form of pirates!
Well, Li Mengyang would never say this to Liu Asheng, even if Li Mengyang has a point.
This is because many people don't actually know about piracy, and the life of a pirate is actually very communist and democratic, and the reason is that in the previous years, it was not easy for pirates to make a living, unlike the kind that people imagine, eating meat and dividing gold and silver. On the contrary, the life of a pirate is very hard, at least there are no women on the pirate ship, and there must be no women!
Because if there are women, then the number of women is not possible for every pirate to match one, then there is a natural situation, unfair situation, in the market economy this is called unreasonable allocation of resources, then it is natural that there will be a situation.
Pirates will kill each other!
That's why the pirates behaved so unbearably and hungry when they docked their ships. It's all suffocating!
But actually. There is no way to divide women. It can't be divided according to catties or two, or how much, and you can't kill a woman, right?
Therefore, pirates are actually a rare harmonious communist social form in human history, and the captains of pirates are all voted for by seafarers, so. It's also democratic.
And all this is to be able to live at sea and be a pirate happily......
Of course, this will never be said, even if Lanfang Company sometimes makes a cameo appearance as a pirate, they are originally a HEI social organization, but Li Mengyang will never say it, he still has to meet this Liu Asheng.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" When Liu Asheng got a letter saying that Li Mengyang, the emperor of the Pacific Empire, wanted to see him, Liu Asheng rushed over. You know, it's really a long way away. The place to meet is in Washington, D.C.
"Don't kneel, don't kneel, we don't do this." Li Mengyang hurriedly went to help others.
There is no way, Liu Asheng said from the root that he is still a remnant of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and his understanding of various etiquette is like this.
"Your Majesty is mighty!" Liu Asheng was very moved, and wanted to kowtow!
"......" Li Mengyang hurriedly worked hard.
To say, this Liu Asheng is really too enthusiastic, but but, in fact, he has ideas in his heart.
This title of Lan Fangguo is called by people abroad, and in fact, Liu Asheng they did not call themselves Lan Fangguo, what republic they don't think so, to put it bluntly, that is, they still regard themselves as Chinese, so why should Chinese call them Lanfang Guoren?
To say that the national cohesion of our Chinese is really strong, this is our advantage.
Of course, Li Mengyang knows about this, but he also knows very well that he can't recognize this Lanfang company now, he can't say that you are a company and not a country, you are Chinese, and you are subjects of my Pacific Empire.
Can't really say, really!
But however, Li Mengyang still has benefits for them.
"Ah Sheng, I came to you this time purely for a big matter, your Lanfang company does more business at sea, so I want to introduce a business at sea to you now."
"Huh?" This Liu Asheng is so strange, is this emperor in front of him?
You must know that the emperors of China have always been discriminatory against business, valuing agriculture and suppressing business, so under this concept, Liu Asheng feels that Lanfang Company has no way to return to the motherland and recognize its ancestors, which may be that His Majesty Emperor Li Mengyang thinks that Lanfang Company is not good.
But now, this emperor actually wants to introduce a business, he wants to do business himself, let's not talk about this matter first, but it falls on the body of Lanfang Company, does that mean that this emperor doesn't dislike us so much?
"This ......" Li Mengyang saw that Chen Asheng didn't speak for a long time, so he couldn't continue.
"Damn it down! Your Majesty, please! "Chen Asheng really thinks of himself as a person of the Pacific Empire now.
"......" Li Mengyang didn't have a problem, he could see it, but now he could only say that he could go down, so he said: "That's the case, there is a route ready for you, from the east of the United States to Cape Town in South Africa, this route is very good, because in the future, the imperial trade will have to go back often." You know, the Empire exports a lot of things, and it's gold that comes back. β
Li Mengyang told him about this business, to put it simply, that is, let Lanfang Company do this shipping business, of course, this business is what Lanfang Company has been doing, they are very familiar with it, but now they have to change places.
But though, anyone can see that there's a huge stake here!
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
This Liu Asheng really fell to his knees and knocked his head down!
Can you not kowtow! This future will be the gold of luck!
If you want to say that the model of this business is very simple, that is, the Pacific Empire exports products to the UK, then of course the British pound is exchanged for pounds, but we don't want the pound sterling, we don't want it, we use some pounds to make a foreign exchange deposit at most, and that's it.
However, as long as this business is done, as long as the British continue to buy our things, then the pound will continue to increase, keep increasing, but what should we do with so many pounds?
For gold!
At this time, the international financial order was like this, although everyone stipulated the currency, and many of them were gold and silver double standard systems, but in the final analysis, gold was still used, and gold was the real currency, and it was something that could be regarded as a general equivalent.
To tell the truth, Mr. Marx's political economy, there are things that he sees, not inventions, such as this golden status, and it is like this.
Therefore, this business has always been done like this, and the British have won the Boer War before, so the place to exchange gold, of course, is Cape Town, and here is also where the British prefer your Pacific Empire to go, because compared to coming to London to engage in gold, it is better to do it in South Africa, and the gold in Britain is draining.
Liu Asheng doesn't understand the Tao here, and he doesn't need to understand it, he just needs to do a good job in maritime logistics, but it's not ......
"Your Majesty, then ...... when we go"
That's right, that's a good question, because South Africa, where the market is not large, and the goods of the Pacific Empire can be imported there, but the amount is not too much, and the main demand is still in Europe. So, isn't this just that Lanfang's ship will run to South Africa empty-handed?
This business is not suitable, no one wants to run empty.
So Li Mengyang, is there any way to do this?
"Don't worry." Li Mengyang patted Liu Asheng's shoulder, he looked like an old god was there, and said: "There must be goods when you go, but this goods, you have to use some heart, because they are all big living people!" β
"Huh? Big living people? β
Liu Asheng understood as soon as he heard it, this is to get people and goods together, this ...... Ok, ok.
The ship of this year is basically transporting people and goods, this situation is different from later generations, the cabin at this time, most of them are similar to the pig's nest, that is, it is basically the same as the piglet boat that Li Mengyang woke up from.
It's the same cabin, and it can transport people and goods!
Of course, if you have money, you have a good cabin......
But what is going on with this big living person?
"Well, don't worry, when this route is done, then it will be interesting, there will be people."
"This ...... Long live my emperor, long live, long live! β
Liu Asheng didn't ask much, so Li Mengyang said about this big living person......
"Black comrades! His Majesty the Emperor understands everyone's suffering! His Majesty the Emperor will not punish everyone! β
"Black comrades! But the empire also has a lot of problems now, and it is really difficult to solve the problem of improving your salary! β
"Black comrades! But right now, the world is changing, and there is one place where you can get rich quickly, and that is Johannesburg, South Africa! β
"It is a huge natural gold mine, but it is occupied by the evil British imperialism! And Africa is the homeland of black comrades! β
"As long as you want to go to South Africa to pan for gold or dig for diamonds, then the empire will give you a certain subsidy! Ferry tickets are very cheap! And there's also pounds to exchange at a low price! β
"Black comrades! The opportunity to make a fortune is smashing in front of you! β
That's what some of the small-scale propaganda campaigns are going on in the United States right now, and the target is, of course, the black community, and these propaganda ......
By the way, those big living people that Li Mengyang said are these black people!
Aren't blacks making trouble right now?
Aren't you arguing about your bad treatment?
Now there's a chance that there's a gold rush going on in one place!
And it's under the control of the British Empire, and they're allied with us!
Well, in fact, the first stop of the black comrades was Maputo, Mozambique, which is a good place, not far from the gold mine Johannesburg, and there is a river connected to it.
Well, black comrades. Are you going or not going?
"Long live His Majesty the Great Emperor!"
βALL-HAIL-LEEοΌβ
I have to say that blacks are really easy to fool...... (To be continued.) )
