Chapter 134: The Response of the Dutch Merchants

The sniper was successful, Lao Wang reversed the gloves and bought the goods at a low price, and finally completed the capital offset, and the shrinkage dividends generated by the empty tulips all went into his pocket, this is the method he studied to make money in the downside, why he had to lend in kind instead of money at that time, this is the reason.

In fact, the price trend of tulips itself is controlled by the Dutch bankers and the big chaebols, and Wang is right, after these giant capitalists attract more money into the market, the inflated price of tulips speculated by them will become real profits in their hands.

It must be reiterated that tulips do not create value on their own, but it is still fine to transfer value from the market to the hands of these capitalists.

After these giants have sucked up their blood, they will start to slowly empty the price of tulips, even if Lao Wang does not do these things, they will make the price of tulips plummet, and then make a lot of money from this financial catastrophe.

Lao Wang saw this point, so he took advantage of the time difference to launch a tulip crash abroad, so as to take millet from the fire, but this business war is here, and it has not yet come to an end, and Lao Wang still has a lot of back-up arrangements.

In the world of the Age of Discovery, the Netherlands was the most powerful sea power in Northern Europe, because they were a federation of several northern provinces that were independent from Catholic Spain, and there was no royal family at this stage, and the political system was closer to the federal parliamentary system, similar to the current American imperialism, so the big chaebols and the capitalist oligarchy controlled the politics were the norm, and in general, the movements of the entire country in the Netherlands were determined by these bigwigs.

Lao Wang himself and the members of the Invincible Uncle team are both Dutch nationals, and they don't know how long they will stay in this world, so they don't dare to do things too much.

It's okay to make the guys of the Western European Catholic Chamber of Commerce and the Holy Roman Empire lose some money through business wars, and if the Dutch businessmen who regard wealth as their lives are also injured, then he doesn't need to say that Amsterdam is his home port in the future, which is why Lao Wang reported to Amsterdam as quickly as possible when he launched the tulip collapse in Sweden.

So, after about six hours of tulip chaos in Hamburg, Bergstone's clipper came into port in Amsterdam.

At this time, the nearest ship to Amsterdam in the cold wave still has to sail for nearly 15 hours to arrive, and the Dutch chamber of commerce and companies in Stockholm are also paying off at a rapid pace, but they are no faster than the "unpredictable" Bergstone, who will sail for about 8-10 hours before entering the port.

Bergstone took this "intelligence collaboration" very seriously, so the man who was sent to command the ship and deliver the message was his henchman Adikin, Gerhardt Adicon, a strict naval officer who visited the mansion of the head of the Dutch East India Company at dinner time, and then stubbornly demanded that he be met with the head of the meeting.

But when the butler asked him what he was visiting for, he kept silent and waited at the door with a cold face, just to see someone.

The butler was so worn out that he couldn't help it, and after asking for permission, he led him to meet the head of the meeting, and he thought that this rigid and stubborn guy must have something to ask for the head of the meeting, but things were a little unexpected by the butler.

The officer handed a small note to the head of the meeting, bowed and turned his head to leave, leaving the head of the meeting and the butler to stare at each other for a long time, and said in his heart that this person was inexplicable.

Subsequently, the head of the meeting opened the note in his hand, and the pampering of his body on weekdays made his body a little fat, so he always looked naΓ―ve and amiable, but after reading the note, the head of the meeting actually frowned for the first time, revealing a complex expression of disbelief and nervousness and irritability!

The head of the meeting looked at it carefully, and angrily crumpled the small note in his hand into a ball, and then threw it to the ground angrily, he waved his hand to drive the butler out, and left himself alone in the luxurious and empty dining room, his face cloudy.

After a while, he paced to the place where the note had been thrown away, bent down with great difficulty, picked up the paper ball and opened it again, and the expression on his face reflected by the candle flame was even more unkind, as if he was pondering something.

Gerhardt, who made the head of the council feel bad, was still busy, he did not only work for the East India Company, after bidding farewell to the head of the council, he also ran to the mansions of several big chaebols and big bankers in Amsterdam, this soldier who sailed for 60 hours in a row, before getting off the ship, ran around the city of Amsterdam for nearly four hours, and the grim expression on his face did not change, as if he was beaten by iron.

For the first time in his life, the head of the East India Company did not know what to decide, and the information on the small note was too appalling, but once it was true, it was a big deal.

He remembered that when the decision to make the tulip bubble was made, several big chaebols in the Netherlands were there, and now that he had received this information, it was better to gather everyone over and see how the situation was.

Thinking of this, the expression on the fat face of the head of the meeting returned to peace again, and he reached out and shook the little pure gold bell on the table...

An hour later, all the bigwigs of the Dutch business community gathered at the head of the East India Company and held a secret meeting in the tasting room.

The fat head was a little surprised, and after careful questioning, he learned that the cold-faced soldier who came to visit him had already run all the top businessmen in Amsterdam, and he stubbornly and firmly spread the explosive news to the top businessmen in Amsterdam.

Everyone stopped talking, and those who could get to this position were extremely smart people, and the information obtained at the moment seemed to indicate that the accuracy of this news should be very high, so what to do next, a decision must be made now.

An old businessman coughed twice, broke the silence, and said in a consultative tone: "If the news is true, our plan should be launched in advance, the point is, while only we know at the moment, the opportunity is fleeting, but in the end, is this news true?"

A middle-aged man who looked powerful and had a twinkle in his eyes took over and said: "Of course this is feasible, but don't forget, in our original plan, the price of tulips will usher in the next wave of soaring in a day, which will stimulate people's confidence again, and after throwing every word on our body into the market, we will take the lead in selling, make a profit at the highest point, and launch it now, we will not get the most complete gain." ”

"How can you say that, if this news is true, then the rout will arrive in Amsterdam in the blink of an eye, and then the price of tulips will not be able to be controlled by us, and compared to the power of market panic, we are like a sampan in the sea, or it will be crushed in less than 3 hours!" said a lean young man, standing up.

"You're the one with the largest fleet of ships in the North Sea, tell me when the Merchant will arrive?" said the only woman among the bigwigs, looking at the young man who stood up.

"Coming from Stockholm, if it's going to Hamburg, then it's already in Hamburg, how long it will take to Amsterdam, I can't estimate this, it depends on how long they stay in Hamburg, if it's going straight to Amsterdam, then it'll be there tomorrow night, of course, I'll stay in Stockholm on the messenger clipper, and I'll be able to enter the port at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. "The young man seems to be a tycoon specializing in maritime trade, and when asked about shipping, he answers with great confidence.

"Then this news is fake, I don't believe that there is anyone in the North Sea who is faster than your ship. The woman chuckled and relaxed herself into the couch.

"Of course it's not fake!" a middle-aged fat man, who was fatter than the head of the East India Company, sat up straight, and said with some difficulty: "Didn't you stop the soldier from saying a few words?"

At this time, don't use interrogative sentences, just say it. The young man was quick-tempered and waved his hand.

The big fat man was not angry when he was robbed, and said with a smile: "This soldier is Bergstone's subordinate, it is said that their admiral and the king of Sweden learned the news that the king was going to sing the empty tulip when they had breakfast, and without thinking about it, they sent a ship out to deliver a letter to us, and before the Swedish tulip collapsed, they set off, and it was normal to go to Amsterdam first." ”

"So kind, give us the news as soon as possible?" the head of the meeting wondered, "Or is the northerner really so bold and generous?"

"It's also good to think, what is the status of the Dutch Navy in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, and what is the identity of their Swedish Navy, so that our interests have been hit hard, do they still want to sail the ship out to sea?" explained the powerful middle-aged man of Kong Wu, his words seemed rude, and there was some truth in thinking about it, the powerful Dutch sea power was something that no one dared to challenge.

"So...?" the woman looked at the leader, and the words in her mouth were puzzled, but she must have already made her own judgment in her eyes.

The head of the meeting also made a judgment, he raised his palm, pressed it down, and motioned everyone to listen to him, and said: "We will sell half of the tulips in our hands, of which thirty percent will be shipped to England, and the remaining twenty percent will be listed on the exchange in Amsterdam. He paused, and pointed directly at the young man: "You work hard, stay in the port, when you receive the news, when you notify us, and organize a group of ships to go to England, so that the British can eat the goods, they have been very unsteady at sea in recent years, and it is good to be able to strike and strike by the way." ”

The young man was unimpressed by this half-commanding tone, and nodded his head in agreement.

The head of the meeting looked at the stout middle-aged man again: "Blockade the port of Amsterdam, the nearby sea areas are locked, except for our ships, the rest can go out and not enter, this news can't enter the Netherlands, at least the tulips blocked to our hands are all eaten, if your privateer fleet is not enough, notify the navy to go to sea for 'exercises', if you don't agree, let them think about next year's military spending." ”

"There are three of us, responsible for the sale of all the goods, and I keep an eye on the exchange. The head of the meeting turned again in the direction of the old man and the woman, and his fat face was now shrewd and resolute.

He said to the woman: "You pay attention to the free trading in the market, and there must be no crash until we finish shipping." ”

"And you, the main thing is to keep an eye on the bill transaction, after all, you have the most people under your command, and you can control it in taverns and small trading places. The head of the meeting used honorifics to the old man, but he listened to the tone, that is, because the other party was old.

"Don't sleep tonight, arrange things, no matter what the news is at eight o'clock tomorrow, be prepared to launch in advance, and besides, don't send your subordinates to find trouble with the messenger soldier, hard work everyone, please go back now." ”

After the head of the meeting finished speaking, he saluted everyone, and hurriedly left the tasting room first, to go about his own business, and the remaining big businessmen also left the mansion of the head of the meeting one after another, and acted according to the arrangement, and the night in Amsterdam was surging.

Amsterdam is not clean, and Lao Wang's plan is going well, but it is not peaceful, because he and his team members received a prompt in the system information:

"The Invincible Uncle Team of the Selector Squad, all the members of your squad, Selector No. 95270 Wang Mancang, Selector No. 93776 Takenaka Hanbei, Selector No. 90909 Li Marie, and Selector No. 89764 Tan Liang, your second step fixed mission in this trial world: 'The Danger of High Profits' has been completed, and each member of the squad will receive random points *3000.

Please note that after the end of this stage of the mission, you will not be able to start the next mission directly, and you will have to wait for the second step of the mission world to completely end before you can start the next mission prompt. ”

This hint is very interesting, in the previous task, you can receive a prompt for the next task at the same time as the task is completed, which gives the selector the corresponding preparation time, but after the second step of the task is completed, you must wait until the official end of the service time to get the next step information, indicating that the space has been adjusted for the task mode, as for what the purpose is, it is difficult to say.

In addition, although the mission is completed, the operation of the Tulip Collapse is not over, and the Invincible Uncle Team has other things to do.

The Stockholm merchant now has an unofficial name – "Cold Wave" In the afternoon, he informed Mary that 24 hours later he would start to launch a tulip sell-off on the London Exchange, and he was very similar to the young man in the big merchants of Amsterdam, because he had excellent surveying skills, had a deep understanding of the speed of sea ships, and estimated the time very accurately, which was also the biggest reliance of Lao Wang in addition to real-time communication, daring to trigger the collapse of tulips in several different places.

Tan Liang arrived in Hamburg with the White Tulip and met with Lao Wang smoothly, because the market collapsed, everyone was panicked, and the white tulip that came back from the dead did not attract much attention.

Lao Wang left the round-bellied merchant ship supported by Lilu in the port of Hamburg and handed it over to Ferdinand, and he took the group of sailors who had been raised for this time to board the White Tulip.

These guys have been drinking Germanic wine these days, sleeping with "migrant workers" Dutch girls, and living as if in a sweet dream, so much so that when they board the ship that they once served, especially when they see that they have been captured by "pirates" and then "killed" by their companions, they think that the dream is not over.

The old king smiled and drove them onto the ship, without further explanation, and led them to sail again, just as the merchants of Amsterdam had just finished their secret meeting.
