Chapter 601 - Taiwan Trade (9)

After the Han and Tang groups took the city of Geranza with a thunderous force, and paralyzed the Dutch East India Company and its mercenary forces, the entire Asian sea was cleared, and the main pirate forces were gone.

At that time, Macao relied on this route to India to live a good life, because unexpectedly, Xiamen, Fujian opened the market again, and later Quanzhou and Fuzhou opened their doors one after another, and they could buy and sell freely. They have a lot more supplies.

God favors the Portuguese!

Of course, there may be Spaniards and British, who can also directly board the Ming mainland or Taiwan to trade.

Perhaps only the people of the Dutch East India Company did not think that God favored them, but they could only take the initiative to do business with a shy face, because nothing was done, and now business was the greatest purpose.

They bought trade goods from the Ming Dynasty or Taiwan, traveled to India via the Malacca waterway, or sold them there, or stayed there for a few days before continuing on to Europe, or Persia or elsewhere.

They can use the goods of the Ming mainland and Taiwan to exchange for spices locally, or they can not change them, how to make money, taking high-grade silk as an example, the difference of more than ten times is not outrageous.

In the transaction of this time and space, a piece of cotton cloth dyed purple can be sold for the equivalent of 20,000 US dollars in that world, I really don't know how these ancients calculated the accounts, and the people of the Hantang Group are speechless about their values.

The people of the Hantang Group can be regarded as doing a good deed, they are afraid that such a high price difference is not conducive to the concept of fair trade, so they organized a large-scale ocean-going training to organize the maritime merchants from Taiwan and Fujian, and slay demons all the way to India.

This is not nonsense, other storytellers have made up jokes and made some tips in the teahouse to live, but I don't know what they will do if they meet a "eavesdropper" who doesn't pay for listening to the book.

The process of the last ocean trip has already been described before, and I will not repeat it, or there will be people who watch pirated copies to scold me.

Scold, so that you can give yourself peace of mind, and you will earn again.

The Hantang Group's Haian Brigade has earned a lot of escort fees, which is really not in arrears, not counting the cost of building the two nodes of Temasek and the Andaman Islands, and they can still earn money to go home for an ocean training, this idea is really something that only the Hantang Group can come up with.

However, this income must be paid to the public, and the security team must not do business in private, this is the rule.

This money was immediately invested by the Hantang Group and purchased a lot of building materials, and the Daming City in Goa, India, still needs to be built.

How much did the maritime merchants make? They didn't say it, and no one in the Hantang Group asked, they paid all the fees, and it would be boring to inquire about this again.

The organization of the second batch was furious, and the Hantang group had to be equipped with more warships, especially supply ships.

In his report, the captain of the supply ship, Homer, mentioned the role of supply ships in naval warfare, pointing out that supply ships should not be regarded simply as transport ships, which were too wasteful, and that a little more weapons and equipment could find a balance between warships and merchant ships.

This one has been recognized by everyone, yes, not only for self-defense, but also for attacking.

But this made Director Wu Jie say a lot of strange things: "This is the idea of pure Xiaobai." A professional ship is a professional vessel and cannot be altered. An armored personnel carrier is an armored personnel carrier, a big truck is a big truck, and you add a gun to the big truck, what is this?

No, I can only add two machine gun groups, and the structure will not move. It is easy to calculate the center of gravity, and the structure cannot be moved. ”

The opinion of professionals is important, and that's all.

In fact, this time, the supply ship mainly serves the various nodes, and the cargo loaded is too heavy materials, so it is important to maintain the center of gravity of the transport ship.

Captain He Ma was so angry that he was so angry that he dealt with Director Wu Jie, and Director Wu Jie didn't know it yet.

The second ocean-going operation was successfully completed as expected, and because the caravan was too large, they did not go directly to the Persian Gulf according to the original plan, but left early and returned early.

On this second trip, they have basically completed the main supply to each node, which means that they have the ability to develop themselves.

As for continuous construction, I'm afraid it will never stop.

The third time - the Han Tang Group found that those gang of maritime merchants don't use themselves, they may be afraid that the escort fee is expensive, or they are in a hurry, in short, they began to organize themselves, these ungrateful guys!

The ships of the Ming maritime merchants could go against the wind, so that they could break through the influence of the monsoon.

The various nodes along the way, or call supply points, merchant stations or something, can also give them powerful supplies, some sea ship teams have broken through the old rule of once a year, even twice a year, and even some maritime merchants who bought the ship of the Anjiang shipbuilder went three times! Desperate!!

This is a nation that can be satisfied with a bite of food, and it is a nation that can work hard for money, it all depends on their own conditions.

Of course, the Hantang Group was not happy, and wanted to train another batch of warships, but they didn't even pay for it!

However, it is not possible to force the group, so the supply of work equipment is better built at each node, and there will be a lot of charges at that time.

In short, Hantang Group does things with a small family spirit and a stingy look.

In fact, it was the Fan Zi who was most unhappy with the Ming maritime merchants.

If you look at the list of unhappy popularity, the Portuguese maritime merchant is the first.

The route from Macau to Goa, India, was originally their own exclusive use, but when the Han Tang Group paralyzed the strength of the Dutch East India Company, they just prospered for a while, and took back their own Malacca city by the way.

It's all something to be happy about.

But the Ming maritime merchants soon joined in, they were really able to endure hardships and transport goods.

The Ming maritime merchants have lowered the CIF price of Ming goods to India by two percent, and they are still speeding up transportation!

I really wanted to send warships to stop them, but those maritime merchants were all flying the flag of the Hantang Group, and I heard that the shipowner still had the ID card of the Hantang Group.

So you can't move, it's a risk, the example of the Dutch illustrates a qiē.

And their schooners can sail only once a year!

So they can only endure it, and they can only endure hardships compared with the Ming people and maritime merchants, but it seems that the future is worrying.

Someone wailed, "What's the use of wanting this Macau?"

And because Macau was under the management of the Portuguese East India Company, it was extremely xenophobic, not to mention the British, and even the Spaniards could figure out that Guò could buy goods here.

So their popularity is not too good.

After they took the city of Malacca, they found that it was difficult to earn even a small amount of money to supply the merchant ships that passed by, and with the improvement of the Temasek node, not to mention the maritime merchants, even the British, the Dutch, and the occasional Danes went there to replenish supplies, and the various facilities there were really convenient.

The city of Malacca fell into a situation where it was busy for three days and a year off.

As for the British, Dutch, or other maritime merchants, they also have this grudge against the Ming maritime merchants, you say that we came from Europe, and we earned this little hard-earned money, but as a result, the Ming maritime merchants joined, and everyone's income was shrinking.

Well, everyone can endure hardships better than one another?!

There were other ideas, but the reason was the same, and they all decided not to take advantage of the Hantang Group's sea vessels.

Hantang Group regularly delivers goods to various nodes.

When Hantang Group developed Temasek, no one called it, but Yongsheng Bo Zheng Cai kept an eye on it.

When he easily found these nodes from the globe, he was so angry that he almost didn't sink the leader into the pond, so he returned this vision to the leader of the Zheng family's caravan!

Hurry up, arrange people to participate in the development of each node!

Of course, they fully abide by the rules of the Hantang Group, and they are doing things with you.

The Han Tang Group had a hard time hiring labor, because in the areas under their rule, the labor cost of Ming labor with certain skills was relatively high, which was not caused by their use of inflation, because they implemented a minimum wage policy.

Otherwise, this policy is a double-edged sword, and if it protects the income of the Ming people, it will hurt itself.

But the Zheng family is really outstanding, a thousand laborers are not enough? What, come three thousand!

In this way, the Temasek region is developing at a super-speed and super-scale.

It turned out to be better, just from the supply of past merchant ships, you can make a fortune, not to mention the large warehouse built here to hoard goods.

Of course, these small amounts of money have not been favored by the Zheng Family Group, or the leader at that time did not make any moves, but Yongshengbo Zheng Cai fancied that these nodes could support a route!

What are the routes? That's the Golden Channel!

What's more, this passage can go even further!

On a globe, where is the distance?

Therefore, it must be beneficial to follow the Hantang Group to the outside, which is the judgment of Yongshengbo Zheng Cai, of course, Dingyuan Marquis Zheng Lian also thinks so.

Chairman Wu Dapeng was not completely sure that Zhengjia Group still had such an idea, and he cautiously asked: "Do you know that there is a diesel engine?" ”

Dingyuan Marquis Zheng thought about it and replied seriously: "I have only eaten oily chicken - I have never heard of vegetable oily chicken-"

"Have you ever heard of such a thing as oil?"

"I've heard that you can all extract oil from coal, and probably from stones, and I don't think it's surprising to hear that."

"Well, I'll be honest, there's a lot of oil in Brunei, that's what we need-"

Dingyuan Marquis Zheng Lian is happy, take a look, you will know that you have benefits!

He excitedly said, "What's the use of oil?" ”

Chairman Wu Dapeng smiled and said: "Burn it with an iron pot, and then block an iron plate on it, and when it is burned, the smoke on the iron plate, scrape it down, it is the best ink, I heard that the ink made is the best grade." ”

Dingyuan Hou Zhenglian's cigars are about to fly out, just for this??

However, he noticed Chairman Wu Dapeng's smile and said, "Definitely not, when Stationmaster Guo Ziren joked with me, it was your kind of laughter."

Just for the sake of this ink, you will never mobilize the people, the cost is not enough! ”

"What if I just like ink?"

Zhengyuan Hou Zhenglian shook his head and said: "Impossible, it is impossible for Hantang Group to let you have the final say, and the board of directors will not agree!" ”

Well, even the ancients are not easy to deceive these days.

Thanks to the support of old friends laser310, Hu Zhennan, and sweet grapes, and welcome the arrival of new friends Rhine and Mu Tong Leng Rong.

Thank you Xiao Mingtong guò Alipay 15841539140 for giving me the money for the book, but please have peace of mind.

I bet that five years later, there will be friends who watch pirated copies to make up this little bit of book money, and my Alipay account will remain unchanged for a hundred years.
