Chapter 94: Forming a Fleet! Pry the corners of your own walls! -midnight

The third is sent! I ask you to support all kinds of spreads, recommendations and votes!

Of course, he would not use his identity as Dawson to show his face openly and compete with the Li family's fleet!

In that case, he would not be able to stand behind Li Huamei. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He will set up an agent.

Who else reassures Lin Qing more than Zhou Zhiruo?

Although Zhou Zhiruo has not experienced the baptism of the Age of Discovery, Lin Qing believes that a girl who can play Xie Xun, Zhang Wuji, Zhao Min and others in the palm of her hand with her own strength, and even win the first place in the world's martial arts, cannot be a simple person!

At least in terms of potential, she is an absolutely intelligent woman!

Smart people, always smart.

With a little training, Zhou Zhiruo quickly mastered the secrets of the Great Voyage Century.

That is to buy low and sell high to earn the difference.

With this major premise, and Lin Qing had already formulated a development strategy centered on Hangzhou, it would not be difficult for Zhou Zhi to master a detachment fleet as the commander of the fleet.

After listening to Lin Qing's words, Zhou Zhiruo was very interested in the promising job of fleet commander.

Don't forget, in fact, Zhou Zhiruo is also a family student, her father was a Hanshui fisherman, when she was a child, Zhou Zhiruo lived on a boat, and the water and boat nature are quite good. Let her be in charge of a fleet, and she is also very proficient.

Zhou Zhiruo sat down with Lin Qing to discuss the next step.

"The start-up capital is only 100,000, which is not very sufficient" Zhou Zhiruo looked at the nautical chart and frowned: "How do you plan to operate?" ”

Lin Qing said in a deep voice: "The most profitable route, related to Hangzhou, is only the silk fabrics in Hangzhou and the cotton fabrics in Nagasaki, as well as the ceramics in Hangzhou and the glass in Osaka, which can be sold at sky-high prices." ”

Zhou Zhiruo was puzzled: "But the question is, at present, the island family is in a state of war with us, how can we trade goods and transport them there to do business?" ”

Lin Qing smiled lightly: "This is not a problem. At present, although Shinji Mikami is unwilling to give me any more capital funds, it does not prevent him from taking advantage of his authority and letting us do some small business. I'll write to him. ”

At present, Lin Qing can't say anything, and he has to use the power of the Takeshita Gang to the extreme.

The best thing is that Shinji Mikami begged him at this time, and he had to agree.

Anyone who has played the Age of Discovery knows it. The biggest setting in the world of great navigation is that scarcity is expensive!

At this time, the Laidao family and the Li family were in a state of war for a long time, and the Ming Dynasty and Japan were bound to be unable to trade. Hangzhou's silk and porcelain could not be shipped to Japan, and Japan's glass and cotton fabrics could not reach Hangzhou.

In this way, once someone can break through the barriers of war between the two sides, they can make a lot of profits and make a lot of money!

Lin Qing is going to harvest this bucket of gold!

His letter was quickly responded to by Shinji Mikami.

However, the tone of the head of the Takeshita Gang was very cold.

"Your Excellency, as far as I know, you are a killer, not a businessman. The reason why you came to this world is to help me assassinate Li Huamei and clean up the Li family's caravan. However, for the sake of you having entered the Li Family Chamber of Commerce and are in a high position, I will finally agree to your request. After consulting with the family who came to the island, he granted you permission to trade cotton fabrics in Nagasaki. The total market share shall not exceed 20%. You will pay 50,000 gold coins to qualify for this qualification. I hope that you can complete the task of killing Li Huamei within 3 months. ”

Lin Qing smiled slightly.

The negotiations finally reached a satisfactory conclusion.

His status as a double agent has played a huge role here.

The Takeshita Gang is definitely not so kind, Shinji Mikami just used him to kill Li Huamei, and the market share after that will never be allowed to be occupied by him for a long time.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing smiled inwardly.

Since he came to this wonderful world of navigation, he didn't plan to let go easily.

In this world, there are countless treasures, incomparably rich trade routes, and colorful beautiful partners, how can he be willing to leave if he doesn't squeeze this world dry?

Establishing his influence in East Asia was only the first step on his chessboard.

Like a cold camel, it squeezes its head in, then its body, then its tail, and finally its owner out of the tent.

Sausage cutting tactics.

This is Lin Qing's plan.

He used his relationship with the officials of the Ming Dynasty and the special channel to come to the island family, and he was able to form a smuggling channel between the Ming Dynasty and Japan!

This will become a golden trade route that will make money every day.

He explained this idea to Zhou Zhiruo.

Zhou Zhiruo's eyes were blazing, looking at her man, happily like a flower, holding her cheeks, looking at him with a smile.

"Why do you laugh like that?"

"Husband" Zhou Zhiruo's voice was sweet and soft: "Let me ask you, since you have such a good business route, why do you still want to be a mere supervisor in the Li Family Chamber of Commerce?" ”

"Of course, to complete the mission! The Hong Gang's, Shinji Mikami's, and my own. ”

"Your own mission, does it necessarily include collecting a beautiful woman to enter the harem, similar to mine?" Zhou Zhiruo smiled sweetly.

Lin Qing: "・・・・・・"

Sure enough, she is a smart woman, Bing Xue is smart.

Lin Qing struggled to convince Zhou Zhiruo to be the commander of his First Fleet.

Female Admiral Zhou Zhiruo officially took office.

But the problem is that the Lin Family Chamber of Commerce does not have a single ship in the First Fleet, let alone a sailor.

Her subordinates did not have a single ship.

This is difficult for Lin Qing.

He still has 50,000 principal, and he took Zhou Zhiruo to the shipyard.

Low-grade cargo, such as small sailboats, is available in stock at shipyards and can be picked up without pre-ordering.

Small Chinese sailing boat: 3,000 gold coins per cargo, two standard cargo spaces, suitable for short-range coastal sailing, not suitable for ocean waters. Armament, a 10-pounder bow gun. Standard sailor, 24 people.

It can be described as inexpensive and suitable for sailing in offshore waters such as China and Japan.

Lin Qing asked Zhou Zhiruo, in the name of the Zhou family's caravan, to buy 5 ships in one go.

Lin Qing knew that the Li family's caravan was in this Hangzhou city, and it could be called the head snake. As long as Zhou Zhiruo shows up at the dock and orders the entire fleet, the news will reach Li Huamei's ears within half an hour.

But that's just the beginning.

Lin Qing then called Zhou Zhiruo, went to the wine store, and recruited troops and horses.

It just so happened that the recent recession here, a large number of sailors were idle in the wine shops, drunk and dreaming all day long, and the gold coins in their pockets were running out of money. As soon as Zhou Zhiruo went, it caused a sensation.

Because the number of sailors she wants to recruit, as many as 120 people!

This number may not be much in the Li family's fleet, but for the sailors who are used to the Li family's fleet recruiting people, this unfamiliar Zhou family's fleet immediately aroused everyone's interest.

This means that Hangzhou City will no longer be a monopoly of the Li family, and someone will come out to compete with the Li family!

With a lot of gold coins, recruiting people is naturally not a problem.

Zhou Zhiruo selected 120 strong and capable young men and took them to the market.

This time, at the dock market in Hangzhou, she finally met the person she had been waiting for.

Xiang Scarlet Tiger - Li Huamei!

When Zhou Zhiruo appeared in the shipyard, ordered five cargo ships in the name of the Zhou family's fleet, and went to the wine store to sprinkle gold and recruit troops, Li Huamei had already received information!

This is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for Li Huamei, who is struggling to support!

She didn't have time to investigate carefully, so she took Yang Xien and others and hurried to the market.

Two women, met!

Zhou Zhiruo is wearing a pink long dress, elegant as a fairy, thin powder, indispensable, like a peony in the breeze.

Li Huamei is wearing a red long dress, with a subtle bloom, flaming red lips, and a heroic posture, like a blooming rose.

The leaders of the two chambers of commerce are actually beautiful women.

This can make many merchants, bosses, coolies, and assistants in Hangzhou Wharf stunned.

Li Huamei's face was cold, and her eyes were fixed on Zhou Zhiruo.

Zhou Zhiruo was not afraid and walked over.

Two super beauties, less than a meter apart, stand opposite each other.

"Why are you doing business in Hangzhou?" Li Huamei took a deep breath and said clearly.

Zhou Zhiruo smiled indifferently: "It's Sister Huamei of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce, right?" The little sister has long admired the fame of the scarlet tiger. However, this Hangzhou is the Hangzhou of the people of the world. 30 years ago, how could there ever be a Li Family Chamber of Commerce? I have permission from the government to do business seriously, why can't I do business in Hangzhou? ”

"The government is allowed to do so?" Yang Xien said angrily: "What official government allows? This is obviously Hangzhou, which is monopolized by my Li Family Chamber of Commerce! ”

Zhou Zhiruo looked surprised, her lips opened slightly, and she smiled toothlessly and said, "Oh? Really? However, I have here a charter issued by Jiangren, the political envoy of Jiangnan, to authorize our Zhoujia Chamber of Commerce and have a market share in Hangzhou. It seems that with this, we can legally do business without worrying about anyone's feelings, right? ”

Li Huamei's delicate body trembled.

Although she already had a premonition when the other party bought ships and recruited sailors, it must have been a problem with the Ming Dynasty government, but she didn't expect such a big problem!

Hangzhou, the fundamental place of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce, was taken away from 10% of its share for no reason!

Why did the Ming Dynasty officials just accept her bribes and distribute Hangzhou's market share to an inexplicable and little-known Zhou caravan?

She couldn't figure it out for the time being, but Li Huamei, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, decided to deal with it calmly.

She carefully looked at the charter in Zhou Zhiruo's hand and shook her head at Yang Xien.

Yang Xien could see clearly that Li Huamei was deeply disappointed in the depths of her eyes.

He said angrily: "No matter what adulthood charter you have, it must be a mistake! Let's go find Master Jiang! ”

"Please feel free" Zhou Zhiruo said politely: "However, according to the decree of the imperial court, I have the right to buy and sell here, right?" ”

She said to the president of the Wharf Chamber of Commerce who came to hear the news.
