Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2025, the counterattack from the capitalists

In the early morning, there were endless disputes.

The news also quickly spread throughout the entire Beijing-Tianjin area, and then spread throughout the entire Ming Dynasty at the fastest speed through telegrams.

In an elegant garden in Penglai City, Gold Island, many well-known gold mine owners, oil mine owners, and silver mine owners gathered together, including Tian Erniu.

At this moment, everyone seemed extremely angry, filled with righteous indignation, as if they had met their father-killing enemy.

"Oh!"

"Hmph, these people are going to cut off all of our lives and want to take away our property. Dreaming, unless they step over my dead body, it is absolutely impossible!"

Someone roared on the spot.

These people are the first people to come to the Golden Continent. They are explorers, sailors, and adventurers. They came to the Golden Continent early. After years of hard work here, they have become famous big families and figures in the Golden Continent. Each has a large number of gold mines, silver mines and now emerging oil.

There are no other industries in the Golden Island, only the mining industry is the most developed. Large and small gold mines, silver mines, and oil are all over the Golden Island. As for other industries, they are nothing.

"Yes, don't even think about taking our property!"

"If anyone robs our property, we will fight desperately with him. We have worked so hard to pay taxes on time every year, and those people have nothing to do, but they want to rob our property."

"dream!"

Tian Erniu also roared angrily, the family relied on those gold and silver mines to get rich.

"Guys, we have to give those people some color."

"As far as I know, there are quite a few people coming from the local side. Everyone must know these people. They are all from those people's families. They are very arrogant and domineering when they come to the Golden Continent. Those who want to buy and sell by force seize our gold and silver mines."

"Let's take these people first and let them know to obey the rules."

Someone thought about it and said harshly.

"Yes, it's time to give them some color. Don't think that someone who is an official in the court can do whatever they want."

"When Mr. Liu was the Chief Assistant, the businesses under his command were always fair. Everyone was convinced, and they were willing to do business with Mr. Liu. They never said bullying others."

"As for these people, Mr. Liu has only been back to keep his filial piety for a long time, and then he started to show his teeth and claws. They are greedy and bully. I really think everyone is easy to bully."

Some people immediately nodded in support.

"Mr. Liu has always been admirable and fair!"

"The oil fields I found are all willing to sell to Daming No. [-] Trading Company. Even if the price is low, if you don't sell it, you won't buy or sell it by force. It's all voluntary."

"Hmph, these people, a few days ago, someone who claimed to be from the Liang family wanted to buy my oil field, but the price was extremely low, and he even pretended to buy and sell by force."

"Since everyone has said this, let the big guys give them some color and let them know how powerful they are."

Someone made a suggestion, and others immediately responded.

In an elegant garden in the capital, all the representatives of big commercial firms and factories gathered together, because this time it was Li Yuanshan from Tianjin Ocean Trading Co. who called everyone here.

Standing behind Li Yuanshan is the crown prince of Daming, Liu Jin, several princes of the state, and at the same time, they represent the capitalists of Daming.

Li Chunyang from Sihai Commercial Bank, Zhu Cheng from Sangong Commercial Bank, Wang Fu from Caiyun Textile Factory, Duan Hai from Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory, Daming Petroleum Company, etc., almost all the people from many large commercial firms and factories were present.

These big commercial firms and big factories covered almost every industry and field of Ming Dynasty. They were giants, and they also represented the emerging capitalists and colonists of Ming Dynasty.

"Everyone, everyone has been called here today, and everyone must have already guessed what it is for."

"Someone proposed that the oil, gold, silver, copper and iron, etc. should be owned by the imperial court and operated by the imperial court."

"If it's really for the imperial court, for our Daming, and for the benefit of the common people, I can't say that, but these people are really for the Ming? For the imperial court? For the common people, can they get benefits and benefits?"

"No, they are doing it for their own selfishness, to fill their pockets."

"Think about those salt merchants in the past, relying on the imperial court's special policy of salt and iron, they firmly controlled the salt industry in their own hands. The imperial court could not receive money, and the common people ate high-priced salt. Only these salt merchants were wealthy. world."

"Now these people just want to continue doing the work of salt merchants and turn these industries into their private property!"

Li Yuanshan looked at the crowd and spoke slowly.

The bosses behind everyone finally couldn't sit still, and finally couldn't stand these people, and decided to fight back.

"Mr. Li, just tell me what to do."

Li Chunyang spoke directly.

Everyone knows what's going on, and each of them has received instructions from the boss behind them. This time, it is necessary to give these people some color.

The owners behind it have also contacted each other and reached a consensus.

"These people want to cut off our boss's wealth, then we have to deal with him in the same way!"

"First of all, the major banks, including the First Bank of Ming Dynasty, Four Seas Bank, Southern United Bank and many overseas banks, immediately stopped lending to these people's properties and cut off their funds."

"Secondly, all the industries under your command immediately stop any cooperation with them, not enough to sell the raw materials produced by their plantations, manors, ranches, etc., and do not have any business dealings with their factories, workshops, and commercial firms."

"These people are doing business with us, but at the same time, they want to destroy our boss's job. They are greedy."

"We have to let them know that the white-eyed wolf who picks up the bowl to eat and puts down the bowl to scold mothers is annoying no matter where he goes."

"Third, everyone needs to inform more people. If you want to continue to do business with us, you must draw a clear line with them. You can either choose to side with us or choose to side with them. There is no middle area. "

"Fourth, in all overseas fields, blacklist these people and the industries of the families behind them, and do not have any business dealings with them."

Li Yuanshan sent a list and related requirements to everyone present.

When everyone got the list, they looked at it carefully. All of them belonged to the old-fashioned ministers in the court or their families.

Over the years, the rapid development of Ming Dynasty and the development of capitalism and colonialism have also allowed many conservatives to enjoy the dividends of the times.

It's just that their industries are slower to develop, and their scale and status are far inferior to those of the hard-working officials who devoted themselves to capitalism and colonialism early on.

Of course, now that they are in power, the industries under their command are also developing and expanding rapidly. The momentum is very strong, and they are also very domineering and arrogant. They often do not abide by market rules and play aristocrats.

This is also one of the reasons why they have not been able to develop and grow. They always think of relying on the power in their hands to open the way for their own industry as before, instead of relying on investment in operations and technology to gain a competitive advantage and grow stronger.

"Ok!"

After reading it carefully, everyone nodded their heads one after another.

In fact, before coming here, the bosses behind each of them had already issued orders to come here. This time, they wanted to deal a severe blow to these old-fashioned people.

Even if you play with the bank, you still need to issue bank notes and coins. Isn't this going to break the foundation of the First Bank?

It's okay to engage in oil, but if you can't win, you even say that these mining industries will be owned by the imperial court. This is to completely smash everyone's jobs.

You can still live if you do evil by the sky, but you can't live when you do evil by yourself. This is the way to seek death.

These people want to cut off the money of the bosses behind them, and the bosses behind them will naturally not let these people go.

Times have changed, I really thought it was more than twenty years ago.

Now the power of capitalism and colonialism in Daming is unprecedentedly strong, not only the local side of Daming has an extremely huge influence, but also the overseas vassal states and colonies occupy absolute power and control everything.

These people still want to use the previous methods to snatch everyone's interests, they are thinking too much, let alone just grasping the right to speak in the court.

Even if it really completely occupies everything in the court in the future, everyone will have no choice. The emerging capitalist class and colonialists also have huge power.

Especially in overseas vassal states and colonies, everyone still has colonial troops. It may not be a lot for one family or two, but when everyone unites, the whole number is very large.

It is enough to overthrow the entire Ming Dynasty and change the world of this Ming Dynasty.

What's more, the Ming army was also supported by capitalists and colonists, and they would not stand by these conservative officials. The generals Xungui Group was the earliest capitalists and colonists in Ming Dynasty.
