In January 1653, the Han and Tang groups first set their sights on the distance.

The Dutch-style counteroffensive they were eagerly awaited did not happen, which is really sad, and the set of plans and plans prepared by the Hantang Group for this purpose were all planned in vain.

The promised third phase of the project in northern Taiwan has been postponed again.

Director Kim Myeong-chi had completed the rudimentary industrialization of his coal mines, and his workers had completed the transformation into industrial workers, and he had rejected the use of slave-style workers in his mines.

However, his coal production and tonnage casualty rate have risen very high and the other have fallen very quickly.

Director Kim Myung-chi used to be a blaster, and his temper was a little quicker, and he didn't listen to what others said, but his argument that industrial workers were far more productive than slaves was confirmed.

Everyone praised him, but he didn't care, just as he didn't hear anything when someone privately criticized him for letting go of slaves and thinking about changing to an industrial worker.

As long as I am allowed to manage, I will play my own way.

Director Jin Mingchi doesn't want it, but others want it, a large number of quarries, all kinds of quarries.

The limestone quarries in Hualien and Kaohsiung, the quarries of phosphorite and potassium feldspar in Putian, and especially the strounce quarries on various islands, are low-tech, strict on the body, and are labor-intensive, easy to take care of, and the use of captives is the right way.

However, this plan had to be postponed, and the Dutch East India Company did not hire troops to fight to the death......

Some people in the Hantang Group also want to take the opportunity to make rocket-type gliding attack unguided fish and mines, and now some people can only take it as a hobby, and go to make some garage products in private, or they will have nothing to do at night.

The Han Tang Group received some information from European merchants that the directors of the Dutch East India Company, after a quarrel, had abandoned their intention to use force to recover the city of Geranza, and they did not mention the outcome of the war, but the directors all thought that it was not in the interests of their company as a whole, so they put it on hold.

Compared to the loss of the city of Geranza, they recruited soldiers, prepared armaments, set out from Europe, arrived in Taiwan a year later, and then went to war...... Eighty percent of the directors rejected this cost.

In fact, they also listened intensively to the reports of the messengers sent back by the governor of Batavia, both orally and in formal writing.

The messenger's report and Wen Jiàn's report stunned everyone!

But in the discussion after the fact, everyone generally thinks that this is the loser making excuses for his failure, so that of course they will exaggerate the strength of the other party, which is too normal.

The messenger assured loudly in God's name that he was telling the truth, and publicly posted in the local newspaper that he could commit suicide if he had the slightest hint of falsehood.

However, no one paid attention to him.

The concern was that the shares of the Dutch East India Company had fallen in a short period of time, which made everyone worry.

But the Batavian Dutch Galen merchant ships arrived, and they also brought with them large quantities of spices, silks, porcelain, tea, some better quality sugar, and some very strange goods, and their stocks immediately rose again as the goods were sold.

The messenger happened to be looking for someone to help him repeat his claims: a great iron ship, sailing without wind; Tremendous light; Continuously fired artillery, guns.

Everyone did agree with his description, the East, it was a place full of gold, there were some incomprehensible things, this is very common.

The Dutch East India stock has risen again, and that's the most important thing, even the old janitor talks about it.

The messenger almost died of rage on the streets of Amsterdam.

The Amsterdam Stock Exchange was born in 1609 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, making it the first stock exchange in the history of the world.

The Bank of Amsterdam was also born in this year, about a hundred years before the Bank of England.

The first joint-stock company that could be traded was the Dutch East India United Company.

In 1602, the Dutch United East India Company was established and publicly offered, which was the world's first joint stock company.

In this way, the Dutch East India Company succeeded in turning the scattered wealth of society into capital for its own expansion.

The ultimate purpose of the establishment of the East India Company was to send merchant ships to the South Seas in exchange for goods that were not available in Europe at the time, such as porcelain, spices, textiles, and so on.

These items could fetch a high price in Europe at the time, but no one could provide large sums of money alone to prepare the fleet for navigation and trade, so people had to issue shares to raise the necessary funds.

For those who bought shares of the East India Company, the profits were paid either in the form of gold, money, or money, or directly in spices, and because the goods trafficked back by the fleet were likely to be worth more and more valuable from year to year, they were able to make considerable profits, so there was an increase in the number of purchases of shares in the East India Company.

Thus began their historic mission on the world's first stock exchange and the first stock.

However, their economic means at this time are still pediatric compared to Hantang Group's understanding of stocks, or their understanding of various cheating methods in the stock market.

The Hantang Group has more than a thousand ways to bring their stock exchange to the ground.

But Hantang Group did not do this, and did not train relevant personnel to hype.

The reason for this is very simple, the Hantang Group's view of money is more in line with the real purpose of money: it is just an equivalent to the exchange of means of production and subsistence.

The increase and decrease of gold and silver do not reflect the changes in goods, but on the contrary, the changes in goods cause them to change.

Therefore, the production of means of subsistence is the core of economic activities in this time and space.

Yang Youxing, the secretary general of the world's servant street writer, once said: "Get all their gold!" Possess all the gold in the world! ”

Even the director of Tieyi, who claimed to have never studied economics, couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Then what do you let them buy our products with?"

From this point of view, I can see that you have no concept of economics at all, and you don't go to the eunuch yourself to write such an online article, and you can still persist until the end of the book and then hit the street, I really admire you. ”

Is this a compliment or a sarcasm? I hit the street just because the people who watch pirates are determined to kill me, okay?!

Secretary General Yang Youxing was furious in his heart and wanted to beat him, there was a T point in everyone's heart that others could not touch, but considering that his arms were thicker than his legs, he kindly let him go.

After all, you still want to buy a personal car from him, don't you?

At this time, Pan Keshu technician Mixin Tieyi said: "Let's ignore him, originally, how good it would be to keep to shear sheep from time to time, he actually wanted to smash the plate directly, and his ideological level was not enough." ”

In fact, everyone in Hantang Group was extremely disappointed at this time, and they were a little angry.

They may have lost a lot of prisoners, and there are still a lot of mines that have not been developed.

The silence of the Dutch East India Company regarding the loss of the trading post in the city of Geranza can be seen in the fact that Batavia continued to trade with the Han Tang group after negotiating with them for quite a long time.

Well, if you don't mention it, we won't mention it either.

But military aid to the Portuguese East India Company, or what they simply thought of as ordinary commerce, was in full swing.

Director Wu Jie is happy, and the order of Anjiang Shipyard has been thickened again!

He immediately sent people to the coastal shipyards in the Ming Continent to recruit shipbuilders, which was still early in the ideal of 100,000 shipwrights.

At this time, he didn't have to worry about technical leaks, no matter how good the wooden ship was, it would not be the opponent of the sailing ship, and at the same time, he also understood a truth, speeding up the speed of other people's transportation is actually speeding up his own development.

It would be nice if people lived closer to each other at this time, and it would be better to be able to globalize now.

The Portuguese East India Company demanded the sale of 12 artillery pieces, and the conditions offered by the Han Tang Group were that they would not need silver coins, but only pig iron weighing 40 times the weight of the cannon body, which was about 20 tons.

The representatives of the Portuguese East India Company calculated for a long time, and only six planes were needed.

Pig iron in this time and space is also an important resource, and in the eyes of the Han and Tang groups, it is larger than silver coins.

The Red Star Military Factory of the Hantang Group is not afraid of technology leakage, nor is it afraid of the improvement of their military capabilities.

They don't believe that this time and space can process medium carbon steel, as for the structure of the artillery, it is useless, the materials are not up to par, and they will never be able to process high-pressure guns.

This is called technical confidence.

In addition, in the last ocean-going training, they finally surveyed the number of Europeans operating in Asia in this time and space, and the irresponsible and inaccurate estimate may be less than 30,000!

Arresting them all, that is, building a town-level level, but this is not interesting, and it is not cost-effective.

It's better to keep them and act as a dynamic and losing brigade for the two sides to communicate at that time.

However, there is another worrying thing about Hantang Group.

This Zheng family group has been keeping a close eye on it, as long as the Hantang Group produces weapons, there must be a quota for the Zheng family group.

As long as you have weapons in the Hantang Group, we will have them too.

This is a bit ridiculous, the three uncles of the Zheng family group, don't you know that this weapon has a generation difference? You can't ask for what we have, right?

But the Zheng family group is really sincere, and they only use one way, that is, they sincerely exchange resources for weapons.

Pig iron, do you want more? I'll have it.

Do you want more coal? I'll have it.

Silk, do you want more? …… I'll see you make big hole-ming lanterns...... We also want one, and we are determined not to pay the horse ticket, this must be kept, and I can rest assured that it will not be used to impact your market.

At a certain stage, when Yongsheng Bo Zheng Cai finally figured out why the Hantang Group always cared about the horse ticket in his hand, he once promised it triumphantly.

I'll exchange it for silk, and you can make an offer."

Don't you believe in fair and just exchange?
