"Mr. Earl, that's right, this governor appreciates your attitude, peace is precious, of course, you have to fight, our Ming naval fleet will accompany you to the end, Soria, or the two of us go head-to-head?"

Cha Shu laughed.

Cohen hurriedly replied: "What General Cha said, this governor naturally values peace, and if the two sides go to war, it will not be beneficial to anyone, but the conditions offered by your country are really unacceptable to us, three hundred and one thousand taels of silver, and our East India Company does not have so much profit in a year......"

Cha Xuan shook his head and replied: "Mr. Earl, don't tell General Ben this, General Ben is only responsible for escorting the two envoys to Nanyang, and the two of them have the final say, and the conditions we offer are difficult for you to accept, so you can slightly lower the situation depending on the situation, but I just said that it is slightly lower, and if you want us to make a big concession, it is impossible, otherwise, we will sail the fleet to Amsterdam and fire 30,000 shells at Amsterdam, and we will settle this matter, how about it?" ”

I'll go......

，

Cohen almost choked to death, 30,000 shells! Just kidding, there are no less than 100 ships docked in the port of Amsterdam every day, densely populated, developed commerce, that is the capital of the Netherlands, the economic center, 30,000 rounds of shells, Amsterdam lost more than three million taels of silver, and the worst thing is that the Kingdom of the Netherlands can't afford to lose that face......

"General Cha said with a smile, Amsterdam is the capital of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and your country's Beijing City, Nanjing City is no different, extremely developed, Amsterdam daily to and from all countries freighters, no less than two or three hundred, the value of the cargo per day is not less than two million taels, you want to tilt 30,000 shells, I am afraid that it will pierce the sky, not to mention the Kingdom of the Netherlands, even other countries in the West will not agree, that is a great disapproval of the world, in this way, your country's lost goods we will rise by 30% according to the market price, compensation to your country, Sixty lives, our army will pay your country twice the price of African black slaves, well, almost, the amount of silver to be compensated is 500,000 taels......"

Zheng Chenggong immediately refuted: "Mr. Earl, if you want to save face in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, is it possible that the dignity of our Ming Empire can be trampled on by other countries at will?" The envoy knows that this compensation will exceed the market price by more than ten times, but this is the price of your offense to the dignity of the Ming Empire, the goods are valuable, the dignity is priceless, since ancient times, those who offend the Celestial Empire will be punished even if they are far away! Our Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, since he ascended the throne, even more so, if he doesn't start a war directly against you, it is already a great mercy to you, and you still have the face to say that the compensation is only 500,000 taels? It's a pipe dream! ”

Cohen said helplessly: "Mr. Special Envoy, at least you have to give us an affordable price, right?" More than three million taels of silver, which is far beyond what we can afford! ”

Zheng Chenggong smiled and said, "Mr. Earl, have you forgotten who I, Zheng Sen, are?" I am the real young head of the Yiguan Party, I know exactly how much income the Yiguan Party can make every year, and the income of the Yiguan Party is around 10 million taels of silver every year, my father once said that the Dutch control more than half of the world's trade, the East India Company, with more than half of the trade of the Dutch, what is the daily income? Your East India Company's daily income of 10,000 gold is also an easy and ordinary thing, 3 million taels of silver, for the East India Company's income, is a drop in the bucket! Don't say that it will hurt your vitality, even if it makes you break your muscles and bones, it is impossible! ”

Forehead......

Cohen then understood, why the Ming Empire is now able to produce many people, the Ming Emperor sent Zheng Sen to Nanyang, this guy is the young master of the Zheng family, he is proficient in Oriental and Nanyang affairs, and that Yang Geng over there has followed Zheng Zhilong for 30 years, and has come to Nanyang no less than a dozen times, which one is very clear about the East India Company, the East India Company and the Zheng family are the two overlords of maritime trade in the Oriental world, and the Zheng family can earn how much silver only needs to be compared. You can know how the East India Company's earnings were in a year, and even if it didn't hit, it wasn't far off.

Zheng Chenggong smiled: "How is it?" Mr. Earl, this envoy is not wrong, your company's annual income will definitely not be less than 10 million taels of silver, this is still your profit, as for your income, I am afraid that it will exceed 30 million taels of silver, saying that you are rich and rival countries are despising you, looking around the world, there are few countries whose annual income can reach 30 million taels, even the Kingdom of the Netherlands, right? ”

"Mr. Special Envoy......"

Cohen smiled bitterly: "You have to understand, the official party belongs to your Zheng family, and how much silver you earn belongs to the Zheng family, but the East India Company is different, the shareholders of the East India Company are no less than dozens of people, and the East India Company jointly funded and established will pay dividends to these shareholders every year, and the maximum annual dividend will not exceed eighty percent of the income, and the lowest, not less than three million taels of silver, most of our profits have been distributed to the shareholders, even so, the East India Company is not the sole decision of the Governor, Trade matters below one million taels of silver, the Governor can make his own decisions, and if this amount is exceeded, the Governor also needs to report to the shareholders, and the shareholders can only carry it out after the shareholders have decided, and these shareholders are more greedy than the other, and it is impossible for them to ...... if they are made to pay money."

Zheng Chenggong replied lightly: "Lord Earl, how did you come up with this money, that is your business, and the governor is only responsible for the claim!" Until you pay the silver, and if it is not settled, the Governor will be stranded in the South Seas until you agree! ”

Cohen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Special Envoy, is there really no room for maneuver?" An East India Company that has been tossed and scattered is harmful to your country, and it really angered those lords of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and mobilized the troops of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, I am afraid that the naval fleet of the Ming Empire will not be able to bear it, you must know that our Kingdom of the Netherlands alone has hundreds of main warships of the thousand-ton level, and four or five hundred warships of all sizes, such a navy is invincible in the world here, and has never encountered an opponent! You're going to have to think twice......"

Zheng Chenggong looked at the plug.

Cha Xuan said with a smile: "Don't look at me, I'm not responsible for negotiations, Jing Nanhou, I will only stay for three days, and after three days, I will lead the naval fleet back to the Ming Empire, and after a while, I will come back to welcome you back, two months, two months, enough time for you to negotiate, right?" ”

Zheng Chenggong said in a deep voice: "In this case, the envoy will talk to them slowly, but, Mr. Earl, when we are at the beginning of the negotiations, you must first promise us to cut off all contact with Dongying, at least until the negotiations are over, and not to have any form of contact with Dongying!" ”
