Ask for a Sanjiang ticket!

However, due to the unexpected rise of the Laidao family, one important stronghold after another was captured, and these important gold trade routes were cut off. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It was those weird guys who showed up and caused all this.

Li Huamei clenched her pink fists.

Those strange guys, standing in the power of the Lai Dao family, seem to have all kinds of magical powers. In the two key battles, the Li family's fleet was defeated at the hands of these strange guys.

"If you can't do it, you can only make a desperate bet" Li Huamei's beautiful eyes were clear, looking at the port, and muttered.

"All or nothing?" Yang Xien said on the side: "Hua Mei, you mean to take the fleet and fight to Naha or Kyoto?" That's how it should be! ”

His battle blood boiled: "In the future, the island family will rush back to Japan!" ”

Li Huamei smiled bitterly and shook her head: "The strength of the Laidao family is developing rapidly at this time, and it is even more difficult to deal with with the ironclad ship. I'm just talking. ”

Unlike Li Huamei's loneliness, Lin Qing smiled from ear to ear.

The flying pigeon is here again.

Zhou Zhiruo has returned to Hangzhou, and the cotton fabrics from Nagasaki have been snapped up.

Sure enough, as he guessed, once he went, this fleet, which only had 5 small Chinese cargo ships, gained a full 50,000 gold coins and 5 times the profit!

Lin Qing even got a hint of space.

"Your fleet, back and forth between China and Japan, in Hangzhou and Nagasaki, sells silk and cotton fabrics."

"You get 5 times the profit, and the total volume of goods is not less than 10 units."

"You've found a [Golden Trade Route]!"

"You've got a franchise ticket!"

"Your power in the region has increased by 100 points! Reached 500 points. ”

Power: Reflects the strength of a power in the region. The higher the power value, the more likely the navigator will join you, and the more the forces of all parties fear and respect you, the more likely it is that the coercion will succeed. The higher the share and sales you are likely to get.

"Every time you find a [Golden Trade Road], your power will increase and you will receive a free franchise ticket."

Concession Vouchers: Governments around the world are encouraging their explorers to discover new continents and will give them concession vouchers depending on your exploration. You can use this concession voucher at any port and get 2% of the market share for free. without clash with any forces.

In the Age of Discovery, you could neither buy nor sell in a city without market share.

If you want to break the monopoly of a city, you have only one way - war.

Through war, defeat the enemy's fleet and bring the enemy's city to its knees, so that the market can be forcibly opened.

But the franchise coupon can make the soldiers enter the market of a city without blood, which can be called an artifact.

Lin Qing believed that the discovery of this golden trade route would definitely reach Li Huamei's ears.

This will exacerbate Li Huamei's anxiety.

Because of her huge fleet, she can't get a lot of benefits, but the Zhou family's broken fleet can go back and forth between China and Japan in the war unharmed, and get huge profits.

Sure enough, Li Huamei couldn't sit still.

In the evening, at dinner time, Lin Qing was called over by Li Huamei.

A long table, as Western captains liked, was full of food, but it was not very luxurious, Li Huamei, Yang Xien, James, Xingjiu and Yi An, these partners were sitting, waiting for Lin Qing to come and start the meal.

Lin Qing was very glad that he didn't have to go to the damp bilge with those unlucky adventurers and eat dregs and rice with mice, but with his relationship with Admiral Li, if there was no good feast, how could Li Meiren torture herself?

Li Huamei looked at Lin Qing, who was a little cramped, with a pair of beautiful eyes, and waved her hand, "Mr. Richard, please take a seat." We successfully completed a transaction between Hangzhou and Macau. The celebration banquet is about to begin. ”

Lin Qing was a little fluttering by this glance, and immediately bit his tongue, reminding himself that this woman is Xiang Scarlet Tiger, Xiang Scarlet Tiger, and she doesn't spit out her bones when she eats herself.

Li Huamei took a drink, the beauty tasted the wine, her face was red, and she added to the charm, and said with a chuckle: "Yi'an, tell me about the war we have with the island family." ”

Yi An wiped his lips elegantly and said coquettishly: "The Laidao family controls the four important towns in East Asia, has strong financial resources, and has developed a terrifying ironclad ship. The biggest problem at the moment is that we are seriously short of financial resources, and even if we are sure to win every battle, our finances are drying up day by day, and we are also falling into the upper hand. I heard that the Zhou fleet had just achieved a great success in Nagasaki, and even discovered a golden trade route. It also received a franchise certificate issued by the Ming Dynasty. ”

Li Huamei frowned: "Can you think of a way, how to get out of the predicament?" ”

Her expectant gaze swept over everyone.

But Yang Xien is good at battlefield fighting, and he is brave and resourceful for a long time, but he is not a business talent, the two glanced at each other and shook their heads silently.

Yi An frowned: "Our biggest problem is that our business sphere of influence is too narrow to carry out lucrative cross-sea trade. Only by transporting the goods of the Ming Dynasty to other countries can they make a profit. But..."

He smiled wryly.

James is a gunner, good at picking up girls and **, and he doesn't know anything about business.

Li Huamei's gaze dimmed.

Sure enough, this kind of problem, can you only figure it out by yourself?

However, the island family continued to coerce, the court was greedy for demand, and the operating profits were getting thinner and thinner, and this fleet was about to be unable to sustain itself.

Lin Qing originally planned to make a fortune with his hair and stuffy, and he would slip away when he was full. But seeing Li Huamei's beauty and sick heart, frowning and worried, I couldn't bear it for a while.

He persecuted Li Huamei in order to put the Li family's fleet in a predicament!

The so-called desire to promote first suppress.

If Li Huamei has a smooth ride and dominates East Asia, why should she look at an extremely obscene Richard. Back to the forest?

In this way, it is possible to help Li Huamei in the most difficult time, improve the favorability, and finally bring Xiang Scarlet Tiger into the harem, and be pampered in the special room.

However, seeing Li Huamei so sullen, Lin Qing couldn't stand it anymore.

Being soft-hearted towards women is his fault.

He coughed.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Yang Xien sneered, "Could it be our genius, Richard. Mr. Hui Sen, what's the plan? ”

"I can't talk about a clever plan," Lin Qing said calmly: "I just have a small suggestion." ”

What the hell is in his mind?

Just now, in the blink of an eye, a brilliant idea came to mind.

"Humph! Let you bribe the officials of the Ming Dynasty, but the money was spent, but our share of Hangzhou was divided by a Zhou fleet that appeared inexplicably! Yang Xien couldn't suppress the fire, and shouted: "You explain it to me!" ”

Lin Qing smiled and said calmly: "It turns out that General Yang resents me for this matter. I'm also wronged about this. Go to Lord Jiang. He just said that there were people on the Zhou family's fleet this time, and they pressured him to allow the Zhou family's fleet to carry out trade. If the Li family fleet can do it, why can't the Zhou family fleet do it? ”

He babbled and talked for a long time.

Li Huamei and the others had no way to deal with him.

Anyway, they couldn't confront Lord Jiang, and Lord Jiang wouldn't say Lin Qing, so this was a headless case.

Li Huamei waved her hand and said, "I will deal with that matter." Now about your suggestions. ”

Lin Qing nodded and said, "Now the Li family's fleet can't make money, and the biggest problem is the limitation of the business area." The goods of the Ming Dynasty could only be sold at domestic ports, and naturally they could not be sold at a high price. I propose to sell the goods in your own country and go out into the world. ”

"You're light!" Yang Xien sneered: "How did we not know that it would be profitable to sell the goods?" But the problem is that our fleet needs to be wary of visiting the islands, and we have to fight with the Japanese and pay all kinds of expenses, so we are not able to open up foreign markets. The market in East Asia is also occupied by Kurishima. ”

"Who says you have to spend money on investment? Can cooperate! Lin Qing suddenly interrupted Yang Xien and said: "We can find partners to carry out business cooperation with a certain share!" Open up overseas trade! ”

"Let's talk about it specifically," Li Huamei became interested.

Although Lin Qing knew that it was inappropriate to say it at this time, it would greatly improve the situation of the Li family's fleet, but he really couldn't bear to see Li Huamei so gloomy, so he simply said: "You know, as an Englishman, I have a close relationship with Mr. Crawford. His fleet, which is currently operating in Europe and Africa, is very powerful. If we can cooperate with them, we can easily break through the restrictions of the existing business base and ship the goods of the Ming Dynasty to the world for sale. I've researched silk fabrics that cost less than 1,000 gold coins and can triple in price in Africa and fivefold in Europe! ”

Saying this, everyone's surprised eyes focused on Lin Qing.

Li Huamei's beautiful eyes shot a bright gaze.

She couldn't believe that this obscene guy could make such a valuable suggestion.

"Be more specific!" Li Huamei leaned closer to Lin Qing.

Lin Qing smelled a refreshing fragrance, coughed, and his face turned a little red.

It's hard to ride a tiger, and it's not okay if you don't talk about it.

Lin Qing simply had a heartbeat.

The Li family's fleet is strong, so it's strong.

There's always a way to reverse the plot.

He said bluntly: "In fact, Mr. Crawford has always been troubled by the inability to open up and penetrate the East Asian market. If the two sides agree to use the city of Malacca as a trading base, we only need to deliver the goods to Malacca, and they will hand them over there. Based on price doubling. We earn double, they earn double. So that everyone has money to earn. We don't need to invest, we can sell at a high price. It's better to make a profit than running these low-margin routes on the coast of the mainland. ”

Li Huamei was silent for a while.

Lin Qing's suggestion was actually very much in line with her thoughts.

A basic premise is that Crawford's power cannot reach into China.

But this is satisfied. Because Crawford only went to Malacca to pick up the goods, not to China at all.

The price can be doubled, which is far more than the current business.
