Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 481, fight

The four rules set by Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. quickly spread throughout the Beijing-Tianjin region. The Ming Morning Post even announced in detail the time, route, and itinerary for this trip to the Nanyang region in the most conspicuous and eye-catching position. And a few rules set by Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd.

All of a sudden, there was a commotion in Tianjin.

Not only powerful capitalists, big businessmen, trading houses, fleets, etc. are hurrying to prepare to go to Nanyang, but even some weak people are planning to go to Nanyang together.

Inside a house in Moon Bay Community, Xincheng, Tianjin.

"Wang Gensheng, what do you say?"

"You come up with an idea, should we go to Nanyang together?"

In Wang Gensheng's house, five people were sitting together. Tang Mazi looked at Wang Gensheng and said.

Wang Gensheng and Tang Mazi were the first batch of students who graduated from Tianjin Maritime Academy. The salaries of seafarers are very high, and they were the first to enter, so now everyone is at least at the level of deputy captain.

Some of them are so good that they have even become their own bosses, bought their own ships, and opened ocean trading firms, specializing in the routes of Japan and North Korea.

The five people in front of me are all the first batch of students. Each of them has a high income and has accumulated a lot of wealth. Not long ago, Wang Gensheng, Tang Mazi, Yao Ding, Zhao Li, and Shi Wenlong also joined forces to join the Daming No. A bank borrowed money to buy a large sailing ship from the Tianjin Shipyard, which can be regarded as embarking on the path of self-employment and being the boss.

However, the five people bought the boat a little later, and up to now they have only made a trip to the Wa Kingdom, barely earning hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and owe a loan of tens of thousands of taels to the First Bank of Ming Dynasty.

Logically speaking, they should be quite satisfied, because as long as they go to the Wa country again, they can repay the loan owed to the First Bank of Daming, and then just wait for the money to roll in.

However, this recent trip to Japan also made Wang Gensheng, Tang Mazi, and Yao Ding realize a problem, that is, business going to North Korea and Japan is getting harder and harder, and the risks are getting bigger and bigger.

One is that the competition is too fierce, everyone's profits are constantly weakening, and the markets in North Korea and Japan are becoming saturated. The market is so big, and if everyone does it, naturally they will not make much money.

The other is that the Wa country is getting more and more chaotic. At this time, the Wa country has almost entered the Warring States period. The daimyos in various places are divided into one side, and they fight with each other, making the whole Wa country extremely chaotic.

As a result, many wandering warriors who lost their owners became Japanese pirates, robbing passing merchant ships on the routes of Japan and North Korea. Not long ago, a merchant ship was looted, and the owner of this merchant ship happened to be acquainted. I thought it was the cadet's boat.

It can be said that he was ransacked, everything was lost, and even his life could not be saved.

If it weren't for the domineering ships of the Tianjin Ocean Trading Company, every time they encountered Japanese pirates and pirates, they would piss off the opponent's dry ass, which dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of these Japanese pirates. Otherwise, there would be no routes between North Korea and Japan Way to go.

Aware of this, Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. will go to Nanyang again this time to open the Nanyang route. They know that the opportunity has come, and this is a very rare opportunity.

"What do you say?"

Wang Gensheng looked at Tang Mazi, Yao Ding, Zhao Li, and Shi Wenlong, and thought for a while to ask.

"Fighting~"

"There is no reason not to seize such a good opportunity."

Yao Ding gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, it's hard work. Although we only have one ship, as long as this trip is completed, I believe that after returning, our fleet can add a few more new ships, and we are familiar with the Nanyang route. We will not go in the future. The Japanese route is gone, and I will exclusively take the more profitable Nanyang route.”

"This Nanyang region can also go to South Asia, Arabia, and even Europe in the future. Didn't Mr. Liu say that in this European region, a piece of our silk can be equal to gold, and this spice is also worth more than gold in Europe. .”

"After getting familiar with the Nanyang route, we will have more routes and choices in the future, and there will be a lot of room for future development. We can also go to Africa, which produces gems, ivory, and gold."

"The profit of a round trip is at least dozens of times, or even hundreds of times, which is much more profitable than taking the Japanese and North Korean routes."

Zhao Li nodded after thinking about it.

His words also made other people nod, which is why everyone wanted to follow after Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. opened the Nanyang route.

Because this is not only for the profit this time, but also for the future.

The geographical location of the Nanyang region is really important. If you go to Australia, you can go to South Asia, Arabia, Africa, and Europe to the west. If you stand here, you can sit and cash register in the future.

"But we are only one ship, and we still owe a loan to the bank. If something happens to this..."

Wang Gensheng hesitated after thinking about it.

"What happened to a ship?"

"Our ship is a ship from Tianjin Shipyard. There is absolutely no problem with the quality. As for sailing skills, the five of us are old sailors. We dare not say anything else. There is absolutely no problem with the ship of Tianjin Ocean Trading Company. "

"Anyway, Tianjin Ocean Trading Co. said here, as long as you follow the four rules, anyone can follow it, and there is no limit on how big the scale must be, and how many ships must be required to go to Nanyang."

Tang Mazi said immediately.

"Yes, one ship is one ship, with Tianjin Ocean Trading Co. leading the way, those pirates and Japanese pirates would not dare to provoke us at all."

"And I've heard that Mr. Liu is planning to organize a campaign to wipe out the Japanese pirates and pirates on the Japanese and North Korean routes."

"In the future, the pirates and Japanese pirates in the Nanyang region will definitely be wiped out by Mr. Liu. If we don't occupy this route now, we will not have our share in the future."

Yao Ding also nodded and said.

"Well, since everyone has said so, let's fight this time."

Wang Gensheng thought for a while, then shook his head and said.

"That's right, we are all sailors. If we are young, if we don't fight now, when will we fight?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Mazi patted Wang Gensheng on the shoulder happily.

"Come on, let's count together, together, what preparations should we make if we go to the Nanyang region."

Wang Gensheng smiled, and then took out a map.

"The Nanyang area is relatively close to our Ming Dynasty, and it has always been monopolized by big merchants and big families in the south. Therefore, if you go to the Nanyang area, although the profits of our Ming silk and porcelain are quite high, they must be limited. of."

"So I think, in terms of the selection and preparation of our goods, we can bring less traditional goods such as silk, porcelain, and tea, and we should bring more goods that can sell for a good price."

"What you said is very reasonable, and there are many caravans going to the Nanyang region this time, and the goods that everyone brings are basically the same. The prices of tea, silk, porcelain, cloth, etc. in Tianjin have all increased."

"In my opinion, we can bring more glass products to the Nanyang region."

Yao Ding suggested after pondering for a while.

"No, no, glass products are too expensive, we have limited funds, we can't buy many glass products at all, and this glass factory is opened by Mr. Liu, this Tianjin Ocean Trading Company will definitely bring a lot of glass We can't keep up with the finished products going to Nanyang."

"In my opinion, we can take some ironware from Miyun Iron Works and sugar from Ryukyu City to the Nanyang region. These two things are very popular even in our Ming Dynasty."

"I once heard that if this sugar can be shipped to Europe, it can be compared to gold. On a global scale, sugar is a luxury."

"At present, as long as we are in Ming Dynasty, only Ryukyu City can produce sugar on a large scale. If we bring more sugar to the past, we will definitely sell it at a good price~"

"The same is true for ironware. The price of ironware in Miyun Iron Works is very low. Let alone selling it to the Nanyang region, even if it is sold to North Korea and Japan, the profit is quite high, and it is very popular. Now the Japanese country is facing Miyun Iron Factory. The demand for ironware is very large, almost as much as there is.”

"These two things are good, but the candy is very expensive, and the ironware is not cheap. Our funds are very tight, so it's not easy to do things."

"If you don't have money, you can borrow it, you can take a loan~"

"In fact, we can also rent out some of our cabins to maximize our benefits. I think there must be some people who don't have a boat who are willing to lend us money or rent our cabins."

"Yes, yes, two days ago I also heard that Boss Tang wanted to go to Nanyang, but he didn't have a boat, and he had a lot of money and goods in his hands, so he could only do it in a hurry."

"..."

　What goods do you think are the most profitable?
