Chapter 310: Someone Asks to Be a Proxy
Zhao Hongyu promoted intestinal worm cleaning in Lisbon, but what he didn't see was any kindness.
For him, Europeans should be healthy and serve themselves later than malnourished and have worms in their stomachs.
You must know that now that the concession here in Lisbon is already under construction, he will definitely use the concession to buy some raw materials from Europe in the future, creating a false impression of prosperity for Europeans.
And after he collected the raw materials, he would process them in the concession and resell them to Europe.
For this reason, the merchants who have increased their taxes and made money must have said good things for themselves.
At the same time, when you have money, you can continue to support the opposition in various countries and oppose their governments, right?
So, he needs Europeans to be in good health.
The appearance of intestinal worm Qing overshadowed the limelight of all commodities at once, and the momentum was unmatched for a while.
The reason is simple, people feel terrible when they think about having worms in their stomachs.
Therefore, no matter how poor the family is, they will come to buy intestinal worms and eat them, so that they can be comfortable by beating the worms alone.
Of course, the price of the intestinal worm clear handed over to the little fat man Ed is not expensive, that is, two silver pesos and five pieces. In the eyes of the user, this is really cheap.
Absolute conscience price.
You must know that when you go to the church to confess to the priest in this year, you have to donate more than a dozen silver pesos.
It stands to reason that after eating intestinal worm clear, the worms will not recur after they are defeated.
But considering the common sense and habits of hygiene in this era, as well as Zhao Hongyu's insidious thoughts, he asked Ed to encourage these people to take two tablets of prevention when they had nothing to do.
It is conceivable that since then, Europeans have almost taken intestinal worm qing as food, and when cooking and cooking, they have to crush a piece of ginseng and eat it.
And this habit lasted for two hundred years.
It was not until 1880 that this was criticized and condemned. thinks that the Song Empire is treating them as fools.
However, at that time, the Song Empire had already ruled the whole earth, and this condemnation of someone in a certain county in a European province was not taken seriously at all.
Lisbon's products attract a lot of businessmen.
The goods here are different from those on the American continent, and in Manhattan they are generally porcelain and grain and thirteen spices, but here there are white sugar and toothpaste and intestinal worm cleansing.
As a result, merchant ships destined for the Americas were diverted somewhat.
However, there is news of goods here in Lisbon, and there are not many people who know the way.
So, there has not been a situation where the terminal is overstressed.
But now there is such a trend. This made Viscount Meghan love and hate.
The love is that the increase in merchant ships will increase the berthing costs at the docks and the increase in the finances handed over to Madrid.
This shows that he is very capable as an administrator, and he will definitely be excellent in the assessment when the time comes.
However, he was also very resentful, resentful that he was brain-dead, and actually allocated that wasteland to Zhao Hongyu. As a result, he is now unable to expand the wharf, because the land that expanded the wharf has all become the territory of Zhao Hongyu's concession.
It can be predicted that Lisbon will become more and more prosperous in the future. Zhao Hongyu's Imperial Concession Wharf will definitely have a ship to dock.
At that time, the berthing fee for one year alone will be a lot.
And every ship will have one or two hundred sailors, and these sailors will spend money on shore to promote consumption. and the local entertainment industry.
So that the locals can earn money and live with peace of mind.
Unloading and loading at the wharf also requires a large number of manpower, providing a large number of local job opportunities.
But now. Most of these benefits have to be taken by Zhao Hongyu.
But even if Megan hates it, it's useless, he has now signed an agreement with Zhao Hongyu.
And the reason why Lisbon can have such a change is also so inseparable from this highness of the Americas.
Arguably. Lisbon is now slowly prospering, all thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
If you offend him, let him get out of here.
Lisbon will be back to the way it used to be.
Even idiots know this.
Therefore, Viscount Meghan only hated himself in this matter, and he hated himself for not thinking it out too far away, which would lead to such a situation.
But he didn't dare to show half of his dissatisfaction with Zhao Hongyu, he really didn't dare.
Now his sugar trade is thriving, and it can be said that he has made a lot of money.
Many nobles wrote to him or asked someone to buy sugar from him.
This made Viscount Meghan suddenly a person with a lot of face and status in the aristocratic circle, all of which was brought to him by the American crown prince.
So, how dare he offend this crown prince.
You must know that the sugar trade agreement between him and Zhao Hongyu is signed once a year.
If Zhao Hongyu is unhappy, and the sugar for the next year is not given to him, isn't it all bad dishes.
Megan thought about it with her ass and said that she didn't look at the many nobles who were licking their faces and begging him now, if she knew that the agreement between him and Zhao Hongyu was signed once a year, they would definitely put aside themselves and Zhao Hongyu to contact and seize this benefit that belonged to them.
It is precisely because of this that Megan is extremely respectful in front of Zhao Hongyu, and she can't wait for Zhao Hongyu to go to the toilet and wipe his buttocks.
This also made Zhao Hongyu really speechless for the nobles of this era.
"Your Highness, the sales momentum of our recent goods is very good, intestinal worm Qing has been out of stock, the sales of toothpaste have increased by three hundred percent, from selling thirty boxes a day to one hundred boxes, black tea is also selling well, the sales volume has reached three hundred catties a day, and even the merchants and nobles in some nearby cities have also found me to negotiate cooperation agents."
On this day, the little fat man Ed did not go to the central square, but came to meet Zhao Hongyu to make a work summary report.
After listening to the summary of the little fat man Ed, Zhao Hongyu groaned for a while and said: "You can make your own decisions about these things, after all, you are now the manager of the European expansion and promotion of our empire's commodities, so there are some things that you don't need to ask me about everything." ”
"Your Highness, I can't do such a transgressive thing." , The little fat man Ed was very touched by Zhao Hongyu's trust, but he also said what was in his heart.
In this era, a person like Little Fat is at best the role of a shopkeeper, and the real boss is Zhao Hongyu.
For his identity, the little fat man has a clear confirmation.
sighed in his heart, Zhao Hongyu felt that the concept of people in this era was sometimes not very good.
"I'm still in Lisbon now, what if I leave. You know, I can't always be here, so you'll have to show momentum and take charge of this for me. ”
Zhao Hongyu's words shocked the little fat man Ed's body.
"Okay, let's put these aside for now, and I'll talk about the merchants in the surrounding cities who want agency." , Zhao Hongyu said.
The little fat man Ed's expression changed and became serious.
When it comes to serious things, this little fat man will become extremely serious, which is his strength.
But Zhao Hongyu couldn't stand it.
However, he can't say anything, after all, he can't chill the little fat man's heart.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
Zhao Hongyu thought for a while and said: "Of course, the money we can make from sales in a city of Lisbon is small. If we can promote it to other cities, we will definitely be able to make a lot of money. This is also a great benefit for you, after all, the more goods you sell, the more benefits you get, don't forget that you are the one who shares. ”
The little fat man smiled and nodded.
Yes, as Zhao Hongyu said, the salary of the little fat man is not very much. But he can take 1/10,000 of the net profit of commodities as a dividend, which is a lot of money.
The little fat man has calculated that according to the current number of goods sold, for the time being, he can't see any money but earn a dead wage.
But when the goods are spread all over Europe, and then sold to Africa and Egypt, the division of labor that can be obtained can be staggering.
Others don't know what to do, but he knows it very well when he sells such a fat man from the Americas.
Don't look at the fact that there are few goods now, but they are very tight, and more and more people are buying.
This month alone, sales have reached more than 300,000 pesos.
What kind of concept is this, it can be said that in addition to his salary of thirty pesos a month, he can now receive a dividend of thirty pesos, which is sixty pesos in total.
These sixty pesos are enough for him to live a comfortable life to support his old mother.
You can even hire two servants to serve your mother at home.
To know the way, hiring a servant to eat and live in Lisbon is only five pesos a month.
And that's just one Lisbon City, and the city's spending potential has not yet been tapped.
According to Little Fatty's own predictions, Lisbon's consumption potential has at least seven or eight hundred thousand pesos a month, that is, doubled.
If the goods can be promoted to other markets, one city and two cities. Not to mention anything else, just taking dividends from a city can get seventy or eighty pesos in his hands.
If there are ten cities, that's seven or eight hundred pesos.
Europe, Arabia, Africa, and the combined number of large cities must be a hundred.
In this way, the division of labor he can get in a month will be seven or eight thousand pesos.
It can be said that these dividends are enough for him to live the life of an earl, with a large number of servants to serve him.
And if you have another lover, you still have a surplus.
"Cooperate with them, Lisbon will be a wholesale place in the future, and they will be offered goods at 90% and a half of the market price. After all, these people also need costs to transport goods, don't they? ”
Zhao Hongyu gave a reply.
Ed, the little fat man, was overjoyed. (To be continued.) )
