? Chapter 292 It's a pleasure to do business with you

A complete military industrial system is undoubtedly the guarantee of the combat effectiveness of a self-sufficient army, and Yu Feng has attached great importance to this piece from the very beginning.

From the beginning of the research and development of muskets, to the gradual improvement of muskets, to the trial and research of other firearms, Yu Feng has always paid attention, and even when he got Langton's gunboat, the first time he got it, was to remove a few 'guns' from the gunboat and send them to the artisan camp to see if there was any possibility of imitation. It is impossible for this bulky ship cannon to become a field gun, but compared with the field artillery, there is always some truth in common.

Although only the light artillery such as the Tiger Squat Cannon has been developed, from Yu Feng's heart, he is already very satisfied. In a cheesy phrase that can't be more cheesy, that is: winter is coming, will the 'spring' day be far away? This technical reserve is not a matter of one or two days, and with a good start, there will naturally be more surprises.

However, one of the biggest problems facing us now is the emergence of a new branch of the armed forces, and according to general thinking, this artillery unit is naturally the most suitable for the non-commissioned officers of the artisan battalion, after all, they are most familiar with these, and it is easy to solve them except for any faults and 'faults'.

But Yu Feng doesn't think so, every craftsman in the craftsman battalion is the wealth he values the most, let these craftsmen do some work that ordinary soldiers can do, this is not too condescending, besides, since this is artillery, the artillery team has been established, then, it is a combat unit, it is going to go to the battlefield, if there are casualties, there is no place to cry. What is the difference between this and the beginning of the battle, let the minions rest, and the staff commander of the headquarters charge bare-chested?

The main body of this artillery team should be served by ordinary non-commissioned officers, but the officers who are responsible can be transferred from the artisan battalion, which can be regarded as opening up an additional way for those craftsmen in the artisan battalion to be promoted, otherwise, their room for promotion will be too narrow.

Along the way, Yu Feng was pondering this matter, and even when he returned to the mansion, Wu Yanran stood in front of him, and he looked a little unaware.

"Xianggong!" Wu Yanran was slightly annoyed that Yu Feng left early, like this, the two of them went out together for such a leisurely time, not every day, she even knew that it was Liu Shengmin who called Yu Feng away, which even made her a little angry with Liu Shengmin.

"Well, you're back, and the house is 'done'?" Yu Feng came back to his senses and was a little surprised when he saw Wu Yanran looking at him with disgust. This is the same feeling as leaving a 'girlfriend' friend in the previous life to flash someone and 'mingle' with a fox friend and dog friend.

"Xianggong, there is something I want to tell you!" Wu Yanran didn't ask him why he left early, smart 'women' always know that there are things to say and some things to say.

"I told the shopkeeper of Su Ji, Xianggong, in North Korea, there is one of the most profitable transactions, and we have never 'interfered'?"

"What kind of deal?" There was something strange about the afterglow.

"Celadon porcelain!" Wu Yanran's eyes lit up: "For a long time, we thought it was our Ming porcelain, sold to these overseas places, but I didn't expect that it turned out that this North Korea also produces celadon, these celadons, even if the quality is almost the same as the Ming celadon, in the hands of those barbarians who can't buy authentic Ming porcelain, these celadon is very sought-after." ”

Yu Feng knows the profits of porcelain, but since he came to North Korea, there is basically no supply, and there is no place to go on the Fuso side, and Yu Feng's Civil Yamen' Trade Department is probably not interested in this. Wu Yanran said this, he really had some interest, this source of wealth, of course, the more the better, who would be afraid of more money? Where does he have to use his money now?

"You go on!"

"Moreover, this celadon, in North Korea, no, even in our Pyongyang, there are a lot of craftsmen who can do it, for us, this is a million profits, no, no million profits, I heard adults say, this is the opening of the shipping route of Luzon, these dirt that we look down on here, in the blink of an eye, can be turned from overseas into a boatload of gold and silver!"

"So profitable?" Yu Feng was a little suspicious, he didn't doubt Wu Yanran's vision, it's just that this celadon is a business opportunity within reach, why has no one noticed it for such a long time, and no one even reported it to him, could it be that those people in the Department of Commerce are all eating dry rice?

"Well, the only difficulty is that this route is too long, and it is impossible for our gunboats to escort the merchant ships throughout the whole process, so when we get to the sea, I am afraid that we still have to look at the Zheng family's face, and Su Ji's sea ships are all paid to the Zheng family with 30% of the silver to keep them safe!"

"What's this?" Yu Feng smiled slightly, "Don't worry too much, don't we have an incoming governor of Luzon?" ”

He smiled narrowly: "Wu Da Shopkeeper, are you interested in talking about a deal with this Lord Langton?" ”

******

"Noble lady, your beauty is better than that blooming rose, your voice is more tactful than that nightingale, your figure is ......"

"Stop, stop!" Wu Yanran rolled her eyes angrily, "Brad, are you all so unreliable in your words?" This is still a governor as you adults say, how can he be flamboyant! ”

Brad, who was the translator, wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Madam, this is your beauty, which makes Lord Lord a little incoherent, with all due respect, even in our country, the most beautiful princess, is nothing more than that!" ”

"You're not a good thing, and you're full of 'flowers' and 'flowers'!" Wu Yanran laughed out loud, the 'flowers' and branches trembled, and the whole room seemed to light up.

The 'female' person treats others with praise for their appearance, no matter what they say, and their hearts are very useful, although these two people speak too bluntly. Brad was just an interpreter who accompanied her to meet with Langton, and she had a military position, so she naturally wouldn't treat him with a subordinate attitude, otherwise, where would Brad see her smile like this.

"Alright, let's get down to business!" After the greetings, it was natural to get to the point, when Langton heard Brad introduce Wu Yanran's identity, his eyes suddenly became hot, seeing that it was July, could it be that the honorable lord who was ready to send himself back to Luzon? Over time, it's about the same.

"No, no, no, I'm not talking to you about it!" Wu Yanran heard Langton's question, and directly rejected the other party: "This matter is between you and my husband, I am just a 'woman', I will not 'interfere' in the dispute between you men!" ”

"What are you talking about, ma'am!?" Langton was very suspicious, he was purely a prisoner of war in this city, and what else was serious except to release himself in exchange for ransom.

"I know that my husband's 'trade' with you has caused you some losses in terms of money, but for the sake of our friendship between the Velasco business group and Luzon, I am willing to make some amends for this?"

"What do you mean?" Langton was a little wary, how does this look like a trap, where is the reason why the husband makes money back, and the wife turns around and sends it back.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a business, a business that's good for both you and me!" Wu Yanran said: "In order to make up for your 'spiritual' and material losses, my husband and I have decided to give you a franchise? ”

"Franchise?" Langton was a little tempted, monopoly means monopoly, it means a lot of gold, which is the same 'sex' nature as when he led the people to conquer this place.

"What franchise? Tea? Silk, or porcelain? ”

He opened his mouth and asked about the three most valuable commodities in the East, in his opinion, as long as there is a franchise of these three commodities, it is the same as occupying this place, he even regrets a little, these Orientals, although the force seems to be a little strong, for the business may not be 'fine', when he was choosing to conquer the value by force, he should try to carry out some trade with the other party first, oops, he is too anxious.

"I have to say, your appetite is really too big!" Although Wu Yanran had already decided to 'hand' the sale of celadon to the other party, he was a businessman, and when a businessman negotiated, he didn't take the opportunity to blackmail more benefits, and if he was stupid enough to show his hole cards first, then he was not a businessman, what kind of egg.

"We have ginseng, paper, 'medicine', spices, pepper, and even all kinds of 'fine' musical instruments, books, these are all things that can be our 'trade', do you only focus on this tea, silk and porcelain?"

"Madam, I am not a greedy person, since you have given me a franchise because of your generosity, I will definitely choose the one that can best compensate for my loss, I don't think that apart from these three, there is anything else that can be shipped to our kingdom, and there will be higher profits!"

"Shipped back to your kingdom?" Wu Yanran's heart moved, in her plan, being able to sell to Nanyang was already a huge profit, but she learned from Brad's mouth that from here to his hometown, the sea ship would have to walk for more than a year, such a long distance, think about what kind of price the goods on this ship will become after arriving at the shore.

"Porcelain!" Wu Yanran burst out of her mouth with these two words, and in Langton's ears, these two words were simply very pleasant.

"I can give you the exclusive right to porcelain, but I don't care where you sell it, I want to take seventy percent of the profit, of course, this refers to the FOB price!"

"This is impossible, in this case, I will have no profit, at most thirty percent!"

"Fifty percent, but if there are our ships that join your fleet without exceeding the number of your ships, and sell goods other than porcelain, you must not refuse!"

"Forty percent, plus your conditions! Also, I asked for a ship to take me back to Luzon at once, and I thought that by the time I reached Luzon, the order from Lisbon should have arrived! ”

"Turn! It's been a pleasure doing business with you! ”
