Those few people who boasted of their great skills probably didn't expect it to become, and hurriedly stood next to them with a thousand thanks. The rest www.biquge.info of the people saw that there was no hope of making a living, and sighed a few words and dispersed.

"Do you think I'm wronged by doing this?" Chen Yixin took the initiative to ask when he saw Amakusa Shiro's expression a little disapproving.

"The subordinates don't dare to speculate on the chief. Amakusa Shiro hurriedly bowed down and responded: "But the skills that these people boast about may not work, most of them are bluffing." ”

"Of course, I know that it would be outrageous if the officials in charge of the port of Nagasaki would bend their waists for such a few dollars. Chen Yixin responded with a smile: "This kind of cowhide, you don't need to poke it, it's also broken." ”

"Then chief, why are you ......" Amakusa Shiro was a little confused at this time. Although Haihan is indeed not a bad moneymaker, he should not deliberately squander and waste such unnecessary expenses. It's just that this kind of remark smacks of accusation, and he, as a subordinate, doesn't dare to use this tone to evaluate his boss.

"It's just a sign to the locals that we have money and are willing to give it in exchange. Chen Yixin explained: "If we announce that we are going to inquire about some news, and you happen to have this relevant information in your hands, and you hear that there is a big wronged person like us, will you come and try it?"

"I see!" Amakusa Shiro suddenly realized: "This is the daughter to buy horse bones!"

Chen Yixin didn't care about spending this small amount of money in exchange for the locals looking at him differently, even if this attitude may not be completely goodwill. The expedition team was limited in Nagasaki, and there was no way to play some tricks slowly, so they could only collect intelligence in a simple and direct way. Of course, the specific operation will be responsible for the personnel of the Ministry of Security, but there is no need for the military to interfere too much, Chen Yixin only needs to check and determine the direction of work.

Chen Yixin nodded and said: "There are many local merchants from Daming, and there should also be Han guides, you remember to hire one." ”

Amakusa Shiro hurriedly responded, he knew that Chen Yixin was not worried about the language barrier, but that he would not fully trust the locals. If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and he still understands this truth very well.

"Fortunately, Lao Tzu has been naturalized, otherwise the chief would not even believe my words. Amakusa Shiro can only comfort himself silently in his heart at the moment, at least Chen Yixin still trusts him now. As for his original nationality, Amakusa Shiro didn't care very much, he was now proud of his status as a sea man, and he didn't even speak Japanese.

Compared with Zhoushan and Haojingao, the scale of Nagasaki Port is obviously larger, and you can see more diverse culture on the streets, and you can see people of all colors and races at any time, and even higher than the proportion of foreigners in Sanya Port. The guide knew that this group of people was from Daming, so he specially introduced them to an inn opened by Han Chinese.

Amakusa Shiro asked the shopkeeper about the number of rooms left, and when he heard that there were more than a dozen, he simply made a round. There are more than 200 people in their fleet, and in addition to the dozens of people who take turns on duty on the ship, there are at least more than 100 people who want to go ashore to live.

However, there are a lot of fleets coming and going in this place, and situations like this often happen with two or three hundred or more people in a fleet, and the innkeeper also helped to contact another inn not far away, and booked a few large rooms on behalf of these guests, so that these guests can live separately.

Chen Yixin thought that no one would come to visit him in this place, but not long after they stayed, someone actually came to the door.

"In Xia Li Zi'an, people from Zhenjiang, I heard that a friend from Haihan has arrived, and I came to pay a visit!"

After this person saw Chen Yixin, he took the initiative to introduce himself. Chen Yixin saw that he was dressed in silk and satin, and there was a jade stone with pure color on his belt, thinking that he should be a rich merchant or something, so he also stepped forward to greet him and asked his entourage to make tea and entertain him.

"I went to Zhoushan Dinghai Port to participate in the bidding for the franchise during the China Merchants Association the month before the next month, but Chief Chen met for the first time, and I am fortunate to have a good time!" He had seen Qian Tiandun and Shi Diwen at the Zhoushan Merchants Association, and when he saw Chen Yixin at this time, they all had the same inch of short hair and a general confident expression, and he knew that he was not an ordinary Haihan naturalized citizen, but a genuine Haihan person.

"When Zhoushan opened the China Merchants Association, I was still in Fujian, and I only recently arrived in the north, and it is normal that Boss Li has not seen me. Chen Yixin still couldn't figure out the other party's intentions, so he could only answer without leaking.

"I see. Li Zi'an nodded, and then continued: "When I went to Zhoushan earlier, I heard that you had not opened a trade route with Fusang Kingdom. ”

"Boss Li often comes and goes here?" asked Chen Yixin.

Li Zi'an responded: "It's just a small deal, Chief Chen smiled." If Chief Chen needs to buy goods locally, he can do it for him, and the price may be one or two points lower than that on the market. ”

Chen Yixin heard what he meant, obviously very familiar with this place, and immediately said: "Actually, this time I just came to explore the way and see the situation here, if it is convenient for Boss Li, please tell me about the local situation, what kind of business can be done." ”

Li Zi'an said with a smile: "What else does this need to be introduced, Haihan goods are sold all over the world, and they are popular good things everywhere, and it is the same in this Fusang country." I am not satisfied with you saying that in the next time, I shipped some goods purchased in Zhoushan to sell, and the ship was sold out on the day I arrived, and all the goods were not overnight, and in a few hours, nearly 10,000 taels of silver were in hand, do you say you make money?"

Chen Yixin said: "Boss Li told me about this profitable business, aren't you afraid that I will come over with the goods to bargain?"

Li Zi'an said disapprerovingly: "If Haihan's vision of doing business will be so short-sighted, how can he specially engage in investment promotion and find us merchants to sell on his behalf." The world is so big that you can't go to many places just by selling on your own, and even if you trade with Fuso, don't you still have to find local merchants to sell the goods on your behalf? ”

"Boss Li can see it thoroughly. Chen Yixin couldn't help but praise. Those who cooperate with Haihan in business are all here for the rich interests in it, but there are not many people who can sort out the interests in the middle.

"Prizes have been awarded. Li Zi'an hugged his fists and signaled, and then continued: "I can't hide it, I took the liberty to visit today, and I also have something to ask for." ”

This is to get to the point! Chen Yixin nodded and responded: "Boss Li, please speak." ”

It is not a matter of a day or two that Li Zi'an has been engaged in import and export trade in Nagasaki, and he is basically familiar with local figures from all walks of life. Recently, however, businessmen from Western countries have joined forces to demand that Nagasaki officials ban Li Zi'an from trading in the country. The reason also has a little to do with Haihan, because Li Zi'an's recent sale of glass products in Nagasaki has greatly affected the trading of Western merchants, and this business was almost monopolized by them, but after Haihan's goods came in, the best-selling products suddenly became unsalable, and this change made it difficult for Western businessmen to accept. They were unwilling to reduce the price to dispose of the goods in their hands, so they planned to unite to boycott Li Zi'an.

Chen Yixin already understood when he heard half of the section, this is the Haihan goods that have entered the Japanese market, which has had an impact on Western maritime merchants. No matter how good the goods they ship from the West, their costs cannot be lower than Haihan's industrialized production model, and coupled with the ability to carry freight and process development, they are naturally not much competitive compared to Haihan goods. Western goods were squeezed out of the market by Haihan goods, this phenomenon has appeared many times in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, and the law of the market is not something that can be stopped by a few businessmen uniting together.

However, the entry of Haihan goods into the Japanese market should be a recent thing, so it inevitably caused dissatisfaction among competitors. In the face of such a situation, Li Zi'an also lacks measures to deal with it. Now it seems that the authorities are intent on expelling him from the area, so that the gains of his years of local business are about to be undone. Li Zi'an is also in a hurry to go to the hospital now, and today he happened to see a sailboat flying the Haihan two-color flag on the pier, and immediately asked all the way to the inn.

To be honest, Chen Yixin doesn't want to care about this kind of idle matter, Japan's current policy of closing the country to the outside world is extremely abnormal, and what is happening here cannot be measured by common sense. Although Li Zi'an's plight is worthy of sympathy, it seems unreasonable to insist that it has something to do with Haihan, after all, it was his own decision to ship these goods to Japan for sale, not Haihan's instructions to him. At most, Li Zian signed a franchise agreement with Haihan, so he was able to buy Haihan goods from Zhoushan Island in batches, but this franchise does not include military protection and the like, and the franchise area in the agreement is definitely not the port of Nagasaki, Japan, which is separated by a sea.

Li Zi'an shipped the goods that should have been sold to a certain place in Daming to Japan to sell them at a high price, that is, he took advantage of the loophole in Haihan's franchise operation, but this loophole was originally deliberately set aside by Haihan, otherwise how could Haihan goods be sold to places like Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the past. Exploiting loopholes is not a problem, after all, interests come first, and it is normal to want to make more money, but if something happens, you want to seek refuge from Haihan, which is a bit beyond Haihan's ability. At present, there are hundreds of businessmen who have signed various franchise agreements with Haihan, and if something happens, they will come to Haihan for help, and they really can't protect it.

But when he came to the door, Chen Yixin couldn't refuse the other party directly, so he came up with an idea: "Western businessmen can blackmail the official, and it is estimated that they have also taken benefits, why don't you take out some silver to buy peace?"

Li Zi'an said: "It's not that I'm a fan of money and can't afford to spend that money, but even if I can buy off the government temporarily, the businessmen of those countries won't let go of Zaixia, and sooner or later the same thing will happen again." ”

Chen Yixin smiled: "Are you trying to drive them all away from Nagasaki?"

Li Zi'an said: "If you can do it, spend more silver, and you are willing to do it." Chief Chen, this Nagasaki Port is the only foreign trade port in Fuso, if you can take over the country's maritime trade, what kind of situation will it be?"

Monopolizing a country's foreign trade market, this kind of thing has not been realized even in Annan, which was supported by Haihan. However, the situation in Japan is indeed quite special, there is only Nagasaki Port, a legal international trade port, and monopolizing it is almost equivalent to monopolizing the whole of Japan, and the benefits that the latter can bring are indeed difficult for people to refuse.

Chen Yixin smiled and said: "So you actually want to use our force to drive away all the merchants from other countries here, and then integrate the Ming merchants here under the banner of our Haihan, and finally achieve the goal of monopoly?"

The expression on Li Zi'an's face was slightly embarrassed: "Chief Chen's statement is too biased, it is only for the purpose of self-preservation, but these Western fans deceive people too much, if you don't give them some lessons, I'm afraid that you won't be able to remember it for a few days, and the old state will reappear." It is a trivial matter to suffer a little loss, but these Western fans blocking Haihan goods from Fusang Country will hurt your interests. ”

Chen Yixin said: "Whether our goods can enter Fusang Country or not, that is our business, if we want to enter, then neither these Western businessmen nor the officials of Nagasaki Port can stop us." But if you want to use us to sweep away dissidents and competitors, I think you can give up on that idea. We're just here to take a look, and we're not going to deal with anyone. ”

Li Zi'an's expression became more and more ugly: "Then what if someone bullies you?"

Chen Yixin replied expressionlessly: "Whoever provokes me, I will beat him, that's the truth." But when I do it, I usually beat it up with the person who is causing trouble. ”

Chen Yixin has already noticed that this Li Zi'an Ke, who took the initiative to come to the door, is not a simple character. In the front, he first used a routine to get closer to the relationship, then quickly sold a wave of bitterness and shouted infinite bitterness to win sympathy, and finally lured him to profit, pulling himself to follow his train of thought. If it's a simple-minded person, it's likely that you'll be dizzy by what he's going around, and maybe you'll agree to something to him in the end. Not to mention whether Li Zi'an's words are true or false, and how credible they are, even if they are all true, Chen Yixin will not carry out some military actions beyond the need for self-protection for a businessman to change his plan for this trip.

However, Chen Yixin also had to admit that Li Zi'an's idea still had some temptation, with the strength of Haihan, there was indeed a chance to expel foreign merchants here with peace of mind, and even the monopoly of a country's trade that he said could be realized. However, this is not the task of the fleet, and the credibility of this Li Zi'an has yet to be verified. In Chen Yixin's view, this person is too scheming and not trustworthy. (To be continued.) )
