Chapter 88: Li Jin is going to sea, Lan Yu is scared stupid!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Jin, who was pulling the tiger skin fox fake tiger power below, his fists clenched, and he was furious.
I didn't expect one of our royal approvals to make this bastard so unscrupulous, and now he dares to blatantly attract investment.
Queen Ma next to her gently pulled Zhu Yuanzhang, hoping that Zhu Yuanzhang could calm down and see what Li Jin was going to do first.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a long breath and stared at Li Jin, but saw that Li Jin below actually started to talk again.
"Everyone, be quiet, the future backer of our Chamber of Commerce is our Emperor Majesty."
Li Jin proudly announced that he had his back against the mountain, and he would definitely eat and drink in the future.
But just when everyone was excited, Li Jin changed his voice and said:
"But even so, we can't act recklessly to disrupt our Ming economy."
"Since we are imperial merchants, we naturally want to share our worries for the country."
"Therefore, our business scope will not include all trade in Daming."
Li Jin's words confused all the businessmen present.
Not including the territory of Daming?
So where do you want to go? Do you want to go to heaven? This is ridiculous!
Only Zhu Yuanzhang knew what this Li Jin was going to do, he actually wanted to gather the power of the businessmen, and then go to exterminate the Japanese invaders.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and he felt that Li Jin's method was not impossible.
After all, whether it is for the Japanese or the businessmen, Zhu Yuanzhang hates them very much.
But Zhu Yuanzhang is helpless, and businessmen are indispensable.
Now it would be great if Li Jin could set up a chamber of commerce and let the two kill each other.
The people below talked a lot, and kept talking to each other, saying that Li Jin was talking nonsense in the Arabian Nights.
It does not include commercial activities in the territory of Daming, which is destined to make no money.
Li Jin had no choice but to take the prepared hammer and hammer it on a small table in front of him.
"Silence, silence!"
"I know you're all confused, so I'll explain it next, so don't be nervous."
"The reason why I don't focus on my business in China is because I've found another place where I can make money."
"And it's a lot of money, as long as we can get to that place, our Chamber of Commerce can at least make money every day."
"Everyone must be curious about where the hell is there."
"Next, please look here!"
Li Jin then pointed behind him, and behind him was a large map that slowly descended.
It may be less accurate to say that the map is more accurate, and it may be more accurate to say that it is a nautical chart.
After Li Jin fully unfolded the map, he took a long whip and began to explain.
"Look, everyone, this is a small country in the East China Sea, called the Wa Kingdom."
"Here, there are millions of Japanese people living here."
"The people who can come here must be no strangers to the Japanese people, and the largest population in the slave trade in the north of our city is the Japanese people."
"But those are just small fights, not enough to see."
"This time, I will take you to attack the Japanese island, conquer all the Japanese here, and then carry out the slave trade to these millions of Japanese people."
"Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of existence do you think our Chamber of Commerce will become in the future?"
Li Jin looked at these people in front of him with bright eyes, but these businessmen seemed to be unhappy and passionless.
One of the businessmen raised his hand even more hesitantly.
After Li Jin agreed, the businessman boldly said:
"My lord, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that our emperor has issued a ban on the sea, how can we go to sea?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, and was still very pleased that the businessman was so sensible.
But Li Jin's next sentence directly broke Zhu Yuanzhang's defense.
"It doesn't matter, we are the Royal Chamber of Commerce, and what we do is naturally approved by the emperor."
Li Jin talked eloquently, opened his eyes and said nonsense, and continued:
"When we go to sea, it is also to exterminate the Japanese and contribute to the country, presumably the emperor will definitely forgive us."
Lan Yu listened to Li Jin's bold words, and only felt that his scalp was numb, this Li Jin was really not afraid of death.
Thinking about it, Lan Yu also peeked at Zhu Yuanzhang, wanting to see if Zhu Yuanzhang would behead Li Jin in a fit of anger.
found that although Zhu Yuanzhang's face was blue and he gritted his teeth with hatred, he didn't make any moves.
Lan Yu couldn't help but admire Li Jin a little, he could survive this, it was really amazing.
Although Li Jin explained that he could go to sea, the businessmen still hesitated and asked:
"My lord, as you said, there are millions of Japanese people on Wajima, how many of us can send them to the expedition?"
"And, even after the expedition, how many people will survive?"
"We still have a large number of Japanese pirates entrenched overseas, if we don't exterminate them, how can we go to sea?"
"The little one thinks it's really difficult to go to sea, and I hope you will consider it carefully."
Li Jin didn't blame him, but was very happy, after all, he basically asked all the questions that everyone was worried about.
It just so happened that he solved it all at once, and there were still people in the province who would get up and ask questions.
"When we go to sea, we naturally want to exterminate the Japanese invaders."
"Although there are risks in the eradication of the Japanese bandits, the so-called risks and profits coexist, and the greater the risk, the higher the profits."
"As the famous saying goes: the stronger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish."
"As long as we exterminate the Japanese who are entrenched overseas, the silver will definitely roll in in the future, and there will be an endless stream."
"As merchants, you should all know how lucrative overseas trade is, let's not talk about the slave trade."
"Let's just say that silk, tea, spices, etc., which one goes to sea is not ten times dozens of times the profit."
"It's just that now the emperor has issued a ban on the sea, and the Japanese have blocked the southeast coast, which has caused us to not be able to go to sea."
"If these pirates are exterminated by us, then we will have the final say on the southeast coast, and no one will be allowed to go to sea except our family."
"Can you imagine how much money you can make in the future just by buying and selling silk and tea?"
"Not to mention the slave trade, this is purely a business without capital, as long as the Japanese people are brought back, it will be silver for nothing."
"A Japanese man sells twenty taels of silver, a boatload of 3,000 people is sixty thousand taels of silver, and a trip to sea with thirty big ships is one hundred and eighty thousand taels!!"
"These are pure profits, no costs, do you think about the opportunity to make a fortune, isn't it right in front of you???"
Li Jin's words were extremely inflammatory, and most of the businessmen below were excited.
But a few people remained awake and stood up and asked:
"My lord, although the prospects you describe are very good, we still want to know how many people you plan to send to exterminate the Japanese pirates?"
"How many people do you plan to send to conquer Wajima?"
As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly fell silent.
Yes, all the premise of making money is under the premise of Li Jin's extermination of the Japanese invaders.
If you can't exterminate the Japanese invaders, then no matter how good it is, it will be a castle in the air.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Jin sarcastically, wanting to see Li Jin's embarrassed appearance.
Does he want to tell others that he intends to send 3,000 men to exterminate hundreds of thousands of Japanese and conquer millions of Japanese people?
That's not a fantasy, it's a pipe dream.
Who knew that Li Jin was pale and replied directly:
"This is a military secret, and you are not qualified to know this until you have become a shareholder of the official Royal Chamber of Commerce."
Li Jin's words suddenly made the questioner feel embarrassed, and the person couldn't help but ask:
"My lord, if you don't even tell us this, how can we trust you to do what you promised?"
"As a businessman, the most important thing is vision and courage."
Li Jin didn't answer, but said lightly:
"Do you do business, who do you want to do it with? If you haven't heard of my name Li Jin before, then you can leave. ”
"If you've heard my name and don't dare to do business with me, then you can leave."
"For you have neither vision nor courage."
The businessman who stood up turned red instantly, and he couldn't speak a little uncomfortably.
He naturally heard Li Jin's name, and he also cooperated with Li Jin and made a lot of money.
But this time Li Jin wanted to make it so big, he was still a little hesitant.
"Anyway, I'm glad you're here today."
"Next, I'll let people perform live, the ability of my boatmen, to give you a reassurance!!"
