Chapter 1171 The Dutch will slaughter fat sheep
If a musket is equipped with 500 rounds of ammunition, you can get a benefit fee of ten taels of silver, if you raise 10,000 muskets for the Zheng family, it will be 100,000 taels of silver! 100,000 taels! You only need to invest a little manpower, and you can earn everything for nothing!
Even if you can't make up 10,000 muskets, it is easy to earn 100,000 taels of silver, after all, you can still get a commission from Westerners, and you can even give the Zheng family a high price, and eat the difference on both sides, specially, if you do it well, it is possible to earn 200,000 taels!
Van der Vaart is worthy of being a businessman, and in the blink of an eye, the abacus has been snapped, and, looking at it now, he is the most suitable person, the Zheng family can't find a more suitable candidate than himself, even if it is expensive, he still has to buy it, there is no other choice, if the Zheng family and the Tianchuan family let the Daming sailor exterminate the clan, then no matter how much silver is kept, in the end, they will have to change their surname to Zhu......
"This ......"
Van der Vaart deliberately hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Mr. Tian Chuan, General Zheng, I have to say that this matter is too risky, if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty knows, then the entire Ming Dynasty, and even the entire East and South Seas, it is estimated that there is no place for me, but I heard that the emperor is a ruthless character, a murderous ......."
"Haha, Mr. Baron, the Ming Emperor can control the territory of the Ming Dynasty, can she still reach out to the East and the South Seas? Isn't that a joke? ”
Zheng Cai laughed and said, "Mr. Baron, I, Zheng Cai, promise you that as long as you help us get 10,000 muskets and even more muskets and ammunition, then as long as the Zheng family exists for a day, we will guarantee your safety for a day!" In Toei, as long as we want to protect you, even Tokugawa Shogun will never be able to take your life! ”
"Still,"
Van der Vaart gritted his teeth and said: "It's okay for me to help you, but I must be in charge of the whole process, take care of the officials, send the ships, and hand over to me, I will ask the cargo ships of the East India Company to come forward, you can't show up, otherwise the threat to us is too great, and the matter is likely to be messed up, you just need to prepare the silver!" Both, this time I'm a big deal, if I let our Governor of the East India Company know, I'm afraid I'll be court-martialed! ”
Nanaemon Tagawa smiled, "Mr. Baron, this adventure is totally worth it, isn't it?" At least 100,000 taels of silver, you only need to adjust in the middle, and you don't even need to spend the capital, you can earn a ...... of profits."
Van der Vaart rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Both, in fact, I am more interested in another big business, I heard that the goods of the Ming Empire that you snatched from the East China Sea are worth a lot of money, why don't you sell these goods to our East India Company?" You also know that in the entire Eastern world, only the East India Company and your official party can eat it in one bite, and in addition, no other force can take it over in one go, unless you sell it to the Ming court......"
You're talking nonsense!
Tagawa Nanazaemon and Zheng Cai rolled their eyes at the same time and sold them to the Ming court? Even if it's not the old birthday star who eats arsenic, is he impatient?
"Mr. Baron, this is a cargo worth millions of taels of silver, are you sure you can take it?" Are you able to do the master of the East India Company? ”
Tagawa Nanazaemon's tone was a little cold, it was obvious that Van der Vaart was taking advantage of the fire to rob, using the purchase of muskets for the Zheng family, so that the Zheng family would dispose of the goods to the East India Company at a lower price than the goods, this is a cargo worth millions of taels of silver, even if it is a slight concession, the loss is hundreds of thousands of taels.
Van der Vaart smiled and replied: "Mr. Tagawa, this lord, I naturally did it, don't forget, I am the supreme representative of the East India Company in Dongying, and besides, do you think that it is so easy for the East India Company to risk offending the Ming Empire for your East India Company, so it is easy for the Governor General to agree?" You want to give the East India Company a little bit of sweetness, don't you? What's more, your shipment is not coming from the right way, and you are in a hurry to sell, how can they easily accept it if they do not let the East India Company gain some benefits? ”
Van der Vaart has already figured out the fate of the two people, eager to get a large number of firearms and equipment, eager to sell this large number of goods, anyway, Van der Vaart's unique patience, however, these two people don't have such good patience, this time, our East India Company, I, Van der Vaart, just want to eat a mouthful of fat!
Tagawa Nanazaemon and Zheng Cai glanced at each other, and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, there is no way, this batch of goods is too large, just relying on the market of Dongying, it is absolutely impossible to eat, especially some goods are even out of Dongying, let alone people, if you don't deal with it as soon as possible, the longer it takes, the less valuable it is......
Tagawa Nanazaemon said in a deep voice: "Mr. Baron, in order to show our sincerity, and also to show our sincerity in uniting with the East India Company against the future sailors of the Ming Empire, we are willing to reach a trade agreement with the East India Company on this batch of goods, and are willing to sell all of them to the East India Company at eighty percent of the market value!" ”
"Mr. Tagawa, we don't have to tell lies in front of real people, you and I are both people who live on the sea, eighty percent of the market value? When the Ming Empire purchased this batch of Fire Dances, it was only seventy percent of the price, right? If you're going to sell us eighty percent, who are we going to sell to? ”
Van der Vaart sneered.
A wry smile appeared on the faces of Tagawa Nanazaemon and Zheng Cai, sure enough, Van der Vaart has been in the East for twenty years, and has been engaged in business for more than thirty years, and he is more cunning than a fox, eighty percent? How could he possibly agree?
"Mr. Baron, at what price do you want to order this shipment?"
Tagawa Nanazaemon took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.
Van der Vaart stretched out a slap and said with a smile: "This number, fifty percent!" Mr. Tian Chuan, most of the goods of the Yanhuang Company of the Ming Empire are from the hands of the East India Company, and we know this very well, a total of three and a half million taels, according to the market value of more than five million taels, so we are willing to buy back at half price, two and a half million taels of silver, how about it? ”
Two and a half million taels!
Tagawa Nanazaemon was so angry that he almost vomited blood, it was too ruthless! Does this still make us live? It's so ruthless......
"No, absolutely not!"
Tagawa Nanazaemon shouted: "Mr. Baron, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, your East India Company, but you will still have to deal with our official party in the future, so greedy, how can we continue to cooperate in the future?" ”
