Chapter 311: Preparing to Leave Lisbon (Three Watches!) )
Things are going well in Lisbon City.
With Zhao Hongyu's decision, the little fat man Ed began to contact those merchants.
According to Zhao Hongyu's idea, Ed wants to pick out the identity and status of these people, and some people who meet the requirements to come, so that they can each act as agents for the right to sell goods in the city where they are located.
The reason why Zhao Hongyu wanted to do this was because he wanted to use these people to establish a network of interests belonging to the empire.
If something happens, these powerful people in that city can also help the empire.
For the sake of money, I think these people will definitely not refuse.
All of this has to be based on stakeholdings, isn't it?
This is exactly what Zhao Hongyu intended.
Wang Shan was very much in favor of this, only the little fat man Ed didn't know why.
But he doesn't pay attention to this matter anymore, he always thinks that it will always be impossible to do what the crown prince says, right?
Moreover, the goods are circulated to another city, which is also beneficial to him.
Therefore, the little fat man Ed is very hard-working.
Soon, more than a dozen businessmen were selected, and Ed the Little Fat Man signed an agreement with them.
Picking up the agreement, the merchants looked at it, curious about some of the provisions.
"Ed, what does it mean that the products we represent can only be sold in certain cities? Can't we sell to the East, or beyond? ”
All of them have great doubts and confusion about this article of the agreement.
When Ed heard this, he explained: "Gentlemen, you have signed the right to act as an agent for the sale of goods in your respective cities, and in order to prevent you from having vicious competition, there is such a clause. Be aware of the agency of other cities in the country you represent. There will also be some people who will be singled out. ”
"It's troublesome, I can represent all the cities by myself, right?"
"That's it, it's a lot of trouble."
For a moment, these people shouted.
"Gentlemen, don't you think that a person who makes so much money will be hated for no reason. Know that the goods you represent will bring you great wealth. ”
The little fat man Ed looked at everyone very seriously and said to them.
He learned these words from Wang Shan, and now he has a good reaction to learning and selling.
"We are also doing this to avoid getting you in trouble. You must know that too much wealth will attract greedy hungry wolves to peep, and even you will cause the destruction of your family because of this, this is not my alarmist. ”
Listening to Ed's words, everyone fell silent for a while.
They are all businessmen who have traveled from south to north, and they have seen and seen many such things.
Some businessmen were convicted of crimes on trumped-up basis, and then their homes were exterminated.
They were like sheep raised by the nobility or the church, and they were slaughtered when they were fattened.
As it is, what Ed the Fat Man said was not wrong at all.
After seeing that everyone was silent, the little fat man continued: "Look. When the agents in other cities are also selected, you will have a partner in your own country who has the same interests as you, so it will always be better than you alone. If you do meet someone who wants to deal with you, a partner in another city can help you, right? ”
Ed, the little fat man, is seductive. And everyone was thoughtful.
"This companion has the same interests as you, and if you are persecuted, then it will definitely be his turn next. He will stand with you and deal with those who want to steal your property, right? It's much better than you alone in your hands on a huge amount of wealth, but in the eyes of some people like a sheep. ”
It's not just these people who sound reasonable. Even the little fat man Ed felt more and more reasonable.
Yes, in all cities in a country, there is an agent.
So it can be said. Together, these businessmen will form a considerable force in the country.
Therefore, if those countries want to move these merchants, they have to think carefully.
What's more, these merchants have an inextricable relationship with the aristocracy, and even have an aristocratic background behind their backs.
Hehe, is this crown prince of the Americas a genius?
If these people become interested in him, it is really impossible to imagine what the influence of the future empire on the European continent will be like.
But this has nothing to do with Ed, the little fat man, who doesn't care much about this issue.
What he is concerned with is that he can let a few more cities join in, and then earn more money to support his mother.
At this time, one of them nodded and said, "Yes, this is a good idea." I agreed to sign this paperwork, no matter how much money I made on my own, but I also had to worry about being remembered. If something goes wrong in the future, it's good to have a companion to take care of it, and we can form a huge network. Maybe we'll be the biggest chamber of commerce in the future, Haluha. ”
The man's mind spun fast and something came to mind.
His words resonated with some.
Soon, these people all signed the documents and became agents in a certain city.
The little fat man Ed looked at them seriously and said: "Because the number of people is still too small, when there are more people in the future, your respective countries will become the chamber of commerce of the European agent of the umbrella company, so that in addition to being able to meet and get to know each other, it can also unite you." ”
Everyone nodded, in deep agreement.
"At the last point, His Highness will supply goods to you at the price of ninety percent and a half of the market, which can be regarded as a benefit of being an agent."
Oh ho!
After hearing the words of the little fat man Ed, the agents immediately became excited.
Ninety and a half percent of the purchase price, it can be said that they have obtained the profit out of thin air.
As a businessman, you can't be happy there.
Looking at these happy and excited businessmen, the little fat man Ed also laughed.
He didn't come to make these businessmen happy, but for himself.
This time, there are a total of 17 people who have become agents, which means that he has to start training promoters to enter 17 cities, and when the goods enter those cities, he will get 17 times more dividends.
So. How could the little fat man not be happy?
Oh, you need to train the promoter as soon as possible, these products need to be promoted, otherwise you don't know when you will wait until ordinary people slowly accept it.
"Mr. Ed, is it true that the contract says that you will be responsible for the promotion and advertising of the goods?"
At this time, a middle-aged red-haired man walked up to Ed and asked.
Ed glanced at him and recognized it as a merchant from Poland.
He nodded and replied, "Yes, as the merchandising department of Umbrella Corporation of the Americas, all we have to do is serve the agents. So that you don't have to worry about selling goods. ”
It's really intimate service, we really can't imagine that the umbrella company of the American Empire is so thoughtful for the agents, if this cooperation is successful, I think all the goods in the Americas in the future, I will act as an agent.
The Polish businessman sighed heartily to Ed.
And just when the little fat man Ed had dealt with these businessmen who wanted to become merchants, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan were talking on the battleship.
"Wang Shan, I'm going to leave Lisbon."
"Your Highness, the construction of the concession here is not yet complete. And Rano and Pedro are still training, so if you leave like this, will there be any accidents in these things? ”
Seeing that Zhao Hongyu really wanted to leave Lisbon, Wang Shan couldn't help but remind.
Zhao Hongyu shook his head: "No." You've left 500 genetic people here, and the barracks in the concession are almost finished, so they can live in them. As for the other buildings, I don't have to keep an eye on them. ”。 Zhao Hongyu doesn't think that if he continues to stay here, it will be of much use, now that many things are on track, he is not the same.
"These five hundred genetic warriors. It can deal with a lot of emergencies and ensure the interests of our concession. The little fat man Ed's side has almost negotiated the matter of the agency, and there will be no big problems in the future, as long as he follows the path we set for him, there will be no deviation. ”
"As for Rano and Pedro, the training is almost enough, and we don't want them to be the king of soldiers. The main thing is to teach them how to incite the people and develop hatred for the Spaniards. ”
After Zhao Hongyu said this, Wang Shan pondered for a while and felt that this was really the case.
Now that a lot of things are on track, it won't be of much use for them to stay in Lisbon any longer.
The trade is watched by the fat Ed, the concession is guarded by five hundred genetics, and if Pedro and Rano have something to do, they can also find genetics to get help.
When there is a shortage of funds, Ed can withdraw money to support, and the accounts are managed by genetic people.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Therefore, there will be no deviation when Zhao Hongyu comes to open.
Besides, they've been in Lisbon for a few months now, and they were going to travel around Europe. At this rate, my god won't be enough for a few years.
"It's almost time, and we're going to France, to get out the widows of the Samuel family, and to talk to the French about the partition of Spain. At the same time, we have to hire some Swiss and Germanic mercenaries and get them to come to Lisbon to join Lano, and it will take time to do these things, right? ”
Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan.
"When we do these things, I think that Rano and Pedro have done the same here, and then we can put up a pole and take the lead against the Spaniards."
Zhao Hongyu calculated the time, and when he finished doing these things, Molano and Pedro would be almost the same.
Wang Shan thought about it, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Your Highness, then when will we leave?" ”
Zhao Hongyu said: "For three days, I still have to explain to Rano and Pedro, as well as Ed and them." Prepare now, and we'll be on our way in three days. ”
After Wang Shan answered, he conveyed this order.
After the genetics got this order, they all got busy.
And after Emma and Sara knew Zhao Hongyu's plan, their reactions were also different.
Ed told Zhao Hongyu that he had wanted to leave a long time ago, because there was no interest here.
Not to mention the smell of the city, the people here are still very unfriendly, so she is very happy.
Sara is different from Emma, she is worried about the same as Wang Shan, she is afraid that Zhao Hongyu will become a mess after he leaves.
After Zhao Hongyu explained to Sara, Sara was reassured.
But at the same time, Sara has a lot of gains and losses, because she still has a big shadow in her heart about France and Queen Mary.
Moreover, she herself is not sure whether she can really save the widows of the Samuel family, because Queen Mary is not stupid, and she knows that these hostages are in her hands, so that Sara will not act rashly.
At the same time, it also indirectly made Zhao Hongyu throw a mouse bogey.
However, Zhao Hongyu has a lot of confidence that he can pay enough benefits for Mary to let these useless widows go.
The goods of the Americas and the partition of the territory of the Spanish Empire will definitely make Queen Mary's heart flutter.
As long as she wasn't a fool or an idiot, she should know what choice she should make.
What's more, using a few widows to threaten Zhao Hongyu would be too much to look down on Zhao Hongyu.
He is in a relationship with Sarah, and there is nothing wrong with having a crush on her.
But if someone thinks that because of this, Zhao Hongyu will not do anything, then they are very wrong.
Zhao Hongyu has no relationship with the widow of the Samuel family, so what does their life and death have to do with him.
Mary couldn't control Zhao Hongyu at all with such means.
At the critical moment, what Zhao Hongyu should do or will do will not change.
It's just that it's not at that point yet, and Zhao Hongyu really doesn't want Sara to be sad, so he decided to talk to Mary.
Of course, it would be nice to let those widows be taken away by themselves.
If you can't take it away, then Zhao Hongyu won't be good.
But Zhao Hongyu is still very optimistic, just carving up Spain in Zhao Hongyu's opinion is enough to make Mary's heart move.
It is important to know that Spain has always been a big problem for France.
If Spain can be solved, Mary should not care about a few widows, and she will not offend Zhao Hongyu because of a few widows.
People who are engaged in politics should know how to weigh the gains and losses of interests.
Knowing what to do is of greatest benefit to her and to France.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu was sure that he could get the regent of France. (To be continued.) )
