CHAPTER XXXIII
Since he decided to make a fortune by reselling resources between the two worlds, Qin Feng did not intend to be satisfied with a small fight and a small fortune, but wanted to make a big deal. Supporting Zhao Yuan behind the scenes and building Yuan as emperor is only the first step.
According to LΓΌ Buwei of the Qin State, the most profitable business is not simply to buy and sell and exchange what you have, but to invest in a royal nobleman to help him ascend to the throne, and the various benefits obtained after success will be incalculable.
That's what he thinks, that's what he does, and he succeeds. Although the historical figure did not end well, there is no obvious fallacy in his opinion.
Qin Feng decided that in the future, when purchasing all kinds of materials, it would all be carried out in the name of overseas trading companies, as long as he was careful and low-key, he would not have to worry about problems. For example, there are some of the world's most famous tax havens, where many companies are registered for shady business. Even the powerful dignitaries of many countries will register companies there to hide and launder their wealth.
As for the fact that the number of transactions has attracted the attention of outsiders, just think about how much food is traded in the world every year. Hundreds of millions of tons. What is the trading volume of silver? Tens of thousands of tons. With Qin Feng's purchase volume, it is at the level of an ordinary trader, not to mention the big fish, not even the middle fish, who is idle to doubt you?
Speaking of the Daqi world, considering the development level of this world, it is entirely possible to cause a certain amount of market volatility after the influx of tens of millions of taels of silver. Perhaps the exchange rate of gold and silver will change, but it will not be too obvious.
Some of the conditions in this world are similar to those of ancient China, and the production of silver is not much. Most of the silver that supported the silver standard system in ancient China came from abroad. It is estimated that between 1493 and 1800, the Americas produced 85% of the world's silver and 75% of the world's gold. A total of 1,700 tons of silver were produced in the 16th century, 42,000 tons in the 17th century and 74,000 tons in the 18th century. Since the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus in 1492, Europe has regarded the Americas as a place of plundering wealth, with silver bearing the brunt. In the 17th century, 31,000 tons of silver from the Americas were shipped to Europe, and in the 18th century 52,000 tons. From 1545 to 1800, 133,000 tons of silver were produced in the Americas, of which 75%, or 100,000 tons, was shipped to Europe.
Although the Ming and Qing dynasties banned the sea from time to time, there was still a lot of silver entering the territory through trade channels, which met the people's demand for silver, and the later imperial court financial revenue was also based on silver.
Therefore, after the change of dynasty in the future of the Great Qi world, as the political situation tends to stabilize and the economy recovers and develops, the demand for silver will increase day by day, and these tens of millions of taels of silver will coincide with the meeting, which is far from enough to cause an imbalance in the economic order of the whole country.
And when Zhao Yuanjin's territory expanded and he was qualified to stand on his own as king, Qin Feng was not ready to blindly exchange gold, but exchanged it for resources such as jade and jade, wild Chinese medicinal materials, precious trees, and high-grade ingredients. These things are scarce resources in the Overworld, and they don't have to worry about not being able to sell for money.
Although the world of Daqi is still in the period of agricultural society, as long as you carefully investigate, there are still a lot of good things worth discovering. And such a cross-border trading channel is only monopolized in his hands, and it is difficult not to get rich.
Of course, for the sake of safety, you also have to manage and establish a certain amount of power in the main world, so that you can be able to protect yourself and the people around you, and avoid being targeted by people as fat when you have more wealth.
Zhu Yuntai looked at him for a while, and suddenly asked: "In this case, it seems that the mysterious master who caused Zhao Yuanjin to survive in a desperate situation should be you, Gongzi?" General Meng Luo's death was unknown, it should have been your doing, right? β
"That's right, so you hate me?" Qin Feng did not hide it.
Zhu Yuntai sighed and said with a slightly bitter smile: "There are no eyes on the battlefield, in front of the two armies, how can there be room to spare?" It's just that each is his master, so what reason should I hate you? β
"So, sir, it's time to make a decision, right?" Qin Feng said with a smile.
Zhu Yuntai said self-deprecatingly: "Since I know the biggest secret of my son, if I still can't recognize the situation, I'm afraid there is only one way to die." And with your means, I'm afraid you don't have to worry about me pretending to take refuge, right? β
Qin Feng smiled and said nothing, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
Zhu Yuntai's expression became serious, he got up and left his seat, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Minister Zhu Yuntai has seen the lord. β
"Sir, don't be polite, please get up."
Being respectfully bowed by a person old enough to be his father, Qin Feng was a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly reached out to help him up.
The two re-seated, now that the status of master and servant has been decided, Zhu Yuntai thought for a while, and asked, "I don't know what the lord plans next?" The ministers are willing to share the burden and plan for the Lord. β
"I don't have much of a plan for the time being."
Qin Feng said: "Zhao Yuan would like to give me more than a dozen store properties in Jingnan County and Yangcheng County as gifts, as well as thousands of acres of fertile land near the county town, which all need to be taken care of by manpower, so Mr. Lao arranged it for me." β
"In addition, every county he occupies in the future, he will grant me a certain amount of property and land, and these must be planned as soon as possible, and nothing can go wrong."
"It must be handled properly by the Lord."
Zhu Yuntai arched his hand and said, with his talent and intelligence, managing some industrial acres is just a piece of cake.
