Chapter 1397: Conspiracy Change Face
On the first day, no matter how hard and soft he was, Shu Xinchen didn't pretend to be a color at all, and he didn't let go, and in the evening, Shu Xinchen didn't even stay in the city, and went straight back to his battleship.
The next day, it was still the same, without the slightest progress, and he was now going to die of sorrow, sitting in his room sullen.
"General, I have a solution......
Blind, the commercial counselor on the side, leaned over and whispered.
He raised his eyebrows and said urgently: "You have a way, hurry, talk about it!" ”
Blind said in a deep voice: "General, in fact, two million taels of silver, we can't take it out, in order to keep Geranza and the Red Embedded City, even if we pay two million taels of silver, it's nothing......"
"Fart!"
He almost crooked his nose in anger, and scolded: "That's two million taels of silver, even if the East India Company is rich and rivals, it can't stand such a toss, you must know that over the years, the Ming Empire has been throwing silver on us, and in three or five years, nearly 10 million taels of silver have been thrown in, and now it is still throwing in two million taels?" What's more, there's a rental fee of one million taels of silver per year! Can you afford it? The Governor knows that none of us have any good fruit to eat! ”
Blind hurriedly said: "General, listen to me, now is not a matter of these compensation and lease costs, we can talk to Shu Xinchen, since he has come to the city of Geranza, it shows that as long as he has a little way, he will not start a war with us, we might as well give him a bargain, compensate them 600,000 taels, and then give them 600,000 taels per year, so that he can get benefits, and we can also protect the interests of Tainan, you know, the company in Tainan, the annual profit is calculated in millions of taels, Don't say how much silver do we lose, even after a war? ”
He said in a sullen voice: "What you said is light, I also know this truth, but this result is not something we can do, my authority can only deal with matters within 500,000 taels of silver, and if there are more, then I have to let the Governor decide ......"
"But don't we only have five days now? No, it's less than three days now! We don't have time to report to the Governor, the fleet of the Ming army has arrived on the opposite side of Luermen, and the battle is about to break out! Isn't this a stopgap measure? At that time, if the Governor does not agree, we can also choose to tear up the treaty, then it is not our business, it is the matter of the Governor and the Ming Emperor, and it is ......"
Blind's eyes sparkled with a sly light.
"And what?"
He asked.
Blind laughed and said, "My lord, haven't the colonists in the west been urging us to sell the big cigarettes?" That's a good thing, it's better for us to retreat as advance, take this opportunity, this thing to sell into the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely a million profits, you think about it, who can not quit this thing, the first year to sell 300 boxes, the second year can sell 3,000 boxes, the third year can sell 30,000 boxes! When the time comes, how much silver will there be, and we'll all earn it back, don't you say? ”
Eyes lit up, if it can really be done, it will definitely be a lot of money, this thing is too profitable, much higher than the arms!
"You say, this will work?"
He asked.
Blind said in a deep voice: "My lord, I think it can be done, as long as we meet this Shu Xinchen's conditions, and let them help us sell a little private goods, it's not a big deal, what do you say?" It's a big deal, two million taels of silver, give it to them, just need him to reduce the rental cost a little, such a big benefit, we just sell some goods to Daming, what's not to do? ”
The essence in his eyes flickered, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, tomorrow, we'll give it a try!" Damn, that's not all! Can't be cheaper this kid, you go, get me two sets of guys and even come! ”
Brendden understood the intention of Yiyi, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, I'll go down and prepare!" ”
On the third day, Shu Xinchen came to the city of Geranza again.
"How's it going? Have you thought about it, don't grind and chirp like a! ”
Shu Xinchen shouted with a big grin.
He said with a smile: "General Shu, after more than two days of consideration, I have made a decision, the first two conditions, we are willing to agree, however, please also open the net, let us do business normally in the southeast region of Yizhou, we promise to never do anything that harms the local people, at the same time, we will recruit a large number of employees from Nanyang to replace the local people, as for the compensation, one million taels of silver, we agreed to come down, how?" As for the compensation of one million taels of silver, it is just the lease fee, it is indeed too expensive, and I ask General Shu to understand, one million taels a year is too much, it is indeed not something we can afford, we are willing to provide your country with a lease fee of 600,000 taels of silver every year, how about it? That's the limit of what we can take......"
Shu Xinchen looked stunned, asking for a price all over the sky, sitting on the ground to pay back, he asked for two million taels of silver as soon as he opened his mouth, but it didn't mean that he would be able to take away two million taels of silver, he was ready, as long as the compensation could get five or six hundred thousand taels of silver, as for the lease fee, 500,000 taels was acceptable, but he didn't expect that Yu Yi would agree to all of them, and moreover, he exceeded his bottom line!
Shu Xinchen was puzzled: "General Yi, aren't you setting any more traps for General Ben?" ”
"Where? Where do I dare? ”
Yu Yi hurriedly replied: "You are all soldiers in the realm, where do I dare to produce a moth?" Is harmony precious? Compensation is a small matter, as long as the lease cost in Tainan is not too excessive, but we can afford it, the big deal is to make a little less money, and make money with harmony, once the two countries fight each other, then this business will be completely lost, right? ”
Shu Xinchen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This is the opposite, it is not good for anyone to make money and make a big move!" As long as you can guarantee that you will not do anything wrong in Yizhou, Lao Tzu will not bother to talk about your expulsion from Yizhou......"
He said with a smile: "It's just that I still have a little request, and I ask General Shu to agree on behalf of your court......
Shu Xinchen's heart was shocked and asked, "What request?" ”
He smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that we want to sell a kind of goods to your country, which is similar to your country's dry tobacco, please allow us to sell it normally, of course, we will pay taxes in full......"
