Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 723, Western United Firm

"Conquer a country and get [-] million taels of gold and silver!"

Everyone present breathed heavily. Such a huge amount of wealth, let alone a firm, even if it was given to the entire Ming Dynasty, would be a huge sum of money, but the entire Daming had become rich overnight.

Now Tian Erniu actually only relied on about [-] men and horses to conquer two huge countries here in the Golden Continent one after another. Adding up this time, the profit may exceed tens of millions of taels of silver.

No one doubted at all whether Hu Xian would lie to them, because it was unnecessary and meaningless to lie to them.

Now that the fleet has arrived in Songhu, news will come from the people in the trading firm under your command, and everything will be clear by then. Even if Hu Xian is lying to everyone, it will not be long.

What's more, he didn't need to lie to others.

"Everyone, everyone must have known about Nanyang's affairs."

"Liu Jin, Marquis of Liaodong, fired at the city of Malacca, conquered Malacca almost effortlessly, and asked Malacca to cede land and pay compensation."

"This world is very big, and many places are still very backward and very primitive. As long as we dare to forge ahead and fight hard, we may not be the same as Tian Erniu."

The more Hu Xian talked, the more excited he became. Thinking of Tian Erniu leading a patchwork of [-] people to conquer the two huge countries in the Golden Continent, he wished he could arm thousands of people and plunder all over the world. .

Hearing Hu Xian's words, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.

That's right, if Tian Erniu can plunder in the Golden Continent, they can go to South Asia, Tianzhu, and Africa to plunder. He can conquer these backward and ignorant countries, why can't they?

"Mr. Hu, if you have any ideas, you may wish to speak up."

Li Chunyang thought for a while and said.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Hu might as well say what you think."

When the others heard this, they immediately nodded their heads. In fact, everyone has already guessed the purpose of Hu Xian calling everyone here, and it must be to learn from the Tianjin Ocean Trading Company.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, there are many large and small commercial firms. In Tianjin alone, there are thousands of large and small commercial firms. There are even commercial firms in North Korea and Japan. They set up branches in Tianjin to facilitate business operations. .

Although there are many commercial banks, only Tianjin Ocean Trading Company has its own armed forces. Tianjin Ocean Trading Company has armed forces from the very beginning, equipped with more advanced weapons and equipment than the Ming army at that time.

That's why Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. was able to gallop on the ocean, run rampant, beat Japanese pirates, and wiped out pirates. Du Mingen almost wiped out Luzon with only one fleet.

Tianjin Ocean Trading Company, which has its own armed force, is a real and powerful armed force even though it is a trading company. It has many warships, artillery, weapons, armor, etc., which are very advanced.

That is because Emperor Hongzhi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are major shareholders, and they are the biggest beneficiaries. Otherwise, how could they tolerate the existence of Tianjin Ocean Trading Company.

Now with everyone's efforts, the imperial court allows major commercial firms to have a certain number of private armed forces. In fact, many people already want to build their own overseas armed forces.

Not for anything else, just to protect their own merchant ships.

There are many pirates and thieves in Nanyang. These small Nanyang countries are extremely greedy and impose heavy taxes on them. Many times they are put on their necks with knives.

This is very uncomfortable, very aggrieved.

But if you don't have anything in your hands, you have nothing to do.

Fortunately, the Ming court stood up for them, severely taught the Nanyang countries, and shocked the entire Nanyang.

But asking for help is better than asking for oneself, not to mention, the profits of maritime trade in the Nanyang region are also declining, and those who are ambitious are starting to go to the West.

Xiyang is far away from Daming. If you don’t have your own armed forces, to be honest, everyone will really have no confidence in sending ships to Xiyang.

It's not Tianjin Ocean Trading Company. Their merchant ships are all armed merchant ships, armed to the teeth. It's good if they don't bully people, and they are not afraid of anyone at all.

Everyone wants to go to the West to make a fortune, this armed force must be formed.

"Everyone, not long ago, the imperial court issued a bill allowing us commercial firms to have certain armed forces overseas."

"Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and is afraid that I will be bullied when I do business overseas. That's why there is this unprecedented "Armed Management Code of Oceanic Commercial Firms". In previous dynasties, it was absolutely impossible to allow someone to secretly with armed forces."

"Your Majesty is truly a sage king through the ages, an emperor throughout the ages. His majesty's mind and tolerance surpass any emperors in the past. This is the blessing of my Ming Dynasty and the luck of our people."

Hu Xian raised his hand slightly, and then said very respectfully in the direction of the capital.

This is the truth. It is absolutely impossible for the emperors of all dynasties to allow someone to have their own armed forces, but today, he allowed it.

Although this is the result of the joint efforts of the court, it is absolutely unprecedented.

"I know that many people are already thinking of ways to arm their merchant ships so that they won't be bullied at sea."

"Xiyang is far away from our Ming Dynasty, and the journey is far away. If we are just a business house and go to Xiyang alone, I'm afraid we will inevitably be bullied."

"So I think we can consider setting up a large-scale commercial firm like Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd., and we can pool our strengths and sail to the West together."

"When the time comes, we will not only be able to protect our merchant ships and our interests, but we may not be able to learn from Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Taipinghou and Du Mingen."

"The situation on the Western side, I think everyone may already know something about it."

"Myanmar is rich in jadeite and jade. Myanmar's jadeite and jade are better than Hetian jade, and the output is larger. Some companies have already done business with Myanmar. They should be very clear about the situation in Myanmar."

"Ceylon is rich in gemstones. All kinds of gemstones are not only produced in large quantities, but also of very high quality. Most of the gemstones we get from Nanyang are actually from Ceylon."

"Tianzhu is rich in gold and silver, and Persia is also rich in silver and gold. On the east coast of Africa, it is rich in frankincense and myrrh, as well as ivory, gold, diamonds, etc."

Hu Xian said that his mouth was a little dry, and he paused slightly.

"We do business, after all, we still need costs, especially as there are more and more businesses and more and more competition, people in these places are not fools, they will continue to set too high prices."

"This will make our profits sharply. It is obviously inappropriate for us to take huge risks and only get a small profit."

"If we can be like Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., we can conquer these places. For example, if we can conquer Ceylon, then the gemstones in Ceylon can be mined by us."

"We don't even need to pay anything, and we can directly let the local barbarians mine it for us, just like Tian Erniu in the Aztec Kingdom of Golden Continent."

"Conquer them and let them mine gold and silver, we just have to sit and harvest."

"A deal of thousands of miles~"

"Conquering these places is not only about their gems, emeralds, gold and silver. Similarly, after conquering these places, these places can also be included in our Ming land, and we will also be famous in history. These kelp lands, in the future Maybe it can be passed on from generation to generation to our children and grandchildren.”

The more Hu Xian spoke, the more excited he became.

To do business, you should learn from Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. If you are willing to do business with me, I will do business with you.

If you are long-winded, maliciously raising prices or something, I will directly conquer you and make everything here mine. At that time, not only your land will be mine, but your wealth will be mine, and even your wealth will be mine. Everyone is my slave.

This is the model of Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd.

Hearing Hu Xian's words, everyone couldn't help opening their mouths, and everyone was slightly dumbfounded.

Although everyone wants to have a certain amount of armed force, it is also to increase the self-protection ability of their merchant ships, so that they don't have to be afraid of pirates and bandits.

However, they never thought of relying on these armed forces to conquer other countries and places in the world. The people of Ming Dynasty were somewhat influenced by Confucianism.

Doing business and doing business, do your duty.

They will not be like Westerners. They are like robbers at the beginning, sowing discord everywhere, burning, killing and looting everywhere. Only when they can't beat you, they will do business with you honestly.

If they can defeat you and conquer you, they will directly squeeze you to the extreme, even chewing your bones and swallowing them into your stomach.

This is the Western colonizer of this era.

Compared with them, Daming people are still too gentle, they only want to do business honestly and do business.

Now Hu Xian is telling them a new path, a path exactly the same as that of the Western colonists.

"Can this work?"

Zhang Heling put down the delicacy in his hand, it suddenly tasted bad, and then said with red eyes.

"Why not~"

"The world is very big. Not every country is as strong as our Ming Dynasty. There are many, many countries and places that are very weak. If their strength is very weak, we can easily conquer them."

Hu Xian said confidently: "What's more, there are some things, if you don't try it, how do you know it won't work?"

"Done~"

"It's a lucrative business that has conquered them. Who will work hard to do business with these barbarians? I have long disliked those barbarians."

Zhang Yanling drank a glass of wine in one gulp, and said harshly.

"Count me in~"

Li Chunyang's eyes were slightly red.

I have worked so hard to do business, but I can’t compare it to Liu Jin. In my feelings, the Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. under Liu Jin’s command often does business without cost.

With [-] people, Tian Erniu conquered the two powerful countries in the Golden Continent. It is also very easy for these people to unite and concentrate their troops and strength to create a small [-] people.

Why do they still watch others eat meat honestly, why do they still do business with those who are satisfied and honest?
If you do it, kill them directly and viciously, scare them, convince them, everything is yours.

Emeralds, gems and jewels, gold and silver, as long as they are conquered, these things are still free to ask for, and there is no need to work hard to transport them to do business with them honestly.

The key is to do business honestly. People in these small countries and small places are still very arrogant. They dare to levy heavy taxes on them, loot their merchant ships, kill their crews, and so on.

There was no armed force before, but now that you can have it, what else is there to say, fuck it.

"It's also mine~"

"Count me in~"

"Fuck you, do business with these barbarians, you should learn from Taipinghou Hetian Erniu, just do his shit, conquer them, everything is ours, and there will be enough plantations in Nanyang slaves, don’t worry about having no one.”

Everyone followed suit, and everyone was very excited.

Do business, be a fart.

A tiger with teeth, would it be honest to trade you for meat?
"Ok~Ok~"

When Hu Xian saw it, he couldn't help laughing happily.

Someone took out a map and pointed to the location of Ceylon and said, "Our Western Union's first goal is here. We conquered this place. From then on, we let us bring back gems by boat."
