1723 Maximizing Benefits

From an economic point of view, it was not cost-effective for the East India Company to travel thousands of miles to import grain from the Champa kingdom, and the cost was even higher than that of local procurement. But from a political point of view, this difference in cost is less important, and the stability of Batavia's rule is the first priority. In the eyes of the Dutch, Dacheng Rice Bank, which has almost monopolized the local grain market, is already a hidden danger of instability, and the current food supply structure must be changed to a certain extent.

But since, according to Welbeck, the East India Company is looking for a procurement object in the Champa state, then there is something to be done in the middle.

If Cheng Dapeng was really just an ordinary merchant, it was certainly unlikely to affect the high-level trade between the Netherlands and Champa, but his other identity could play a role at this time. As long as he informed China of the matter in a timely manner, and then the Chinese embassy in Zhancheng came forward to negotiate with him, it would not be too difficult to disrupt this transnational grain deal.

The relationship between Haihan and Champa has been maintained well, and most of the new weapons and equipment installed by Champa in recent years are from Haihan, and the military has also hired military advisers from Haihan to assist in training all year round, which is one of Haihan's allies in military terms. If Haihan had offered Champa not to accept the Dutch's grain orders and given some compensation in other respects, Champa would have been happy to sell this face to his allies.

Of course, there is basically no need for Cheng Dapeng to worry about how to implement this kind of diplomatic affairs, as long as he reports the news as soon as possible, the executive committee will naturally make corresponding arrangements for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China. If Sanya was a little more efficient, perhaps the people sent by the East India Company had not yet arrived in Zhancheng, and Haihan had already negotiated with Zhancheng one step ahead.

Seeing that Cheng Dapeng was still unfazed, Welbeck couldn't help but admire his composure a little, but if he was in the other party's position, he might not be able to hold it back. He can't imagine where Cheng Dapeng's confidence comes from, but he knows very well that if he wants to protect himself, he must try his best to win Cheng Dapeng's help, otherwise if he is kicked out by Jean, he will have little use value for Cheng Dapeng's business in the future, and it will not be easy to make a comeback in Batavia at that time.

"Boss Cheng, it took us several years to integrate the local grain market, can you really bear to give this hard-won result to others?" Welbeck still refused to give up, and continued to persuade Cheng Dapeng, hoping that he could make a move.

Welbeck's belief in Cheng Dapeng's ability to change the situation was not just blind trust, and in the years he had been working with Cheng Dapeng, he had indeed never seen anything that could stump this Han businessman. Moreover, Cheng Dapeng is extremely steady, and there are almost no flaws in the operation of annexing the local grain market in the past few years, even the council can't find any fault, so he thinks that Cheng Dapeng will definitely be able to think of a way to save the situation.

But Cheng Dapeng has his own ideas, the current situation is not impossible to save, but how to start, how to maximize the interests of Haihan and himself, it still needs to be carefully studied. If used properly, crises can be turned into life.
