Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 883 Another Little Duke
The storefront of the Spanish Continental Trading Company opened, and there was a sensation in Madrid.

Of course, the reason for the sensation is not because the company's boss, Desiro, is famous.

Few people in Madrid know who De Silao is.

The reason why they were able to cause a sensation was mainly because of the transfer price of the storefront.

With [-] pounds of silver, there are not many nobles in Madrid who can come up with so much money at once. What kind of idiot is this?

To be honest, anyone who hears about this kind of thing will feel curious.

Although the Spaniards are not as fond of watching the excitement as the common people of Ming Dynasty, there are quite a few who like to watch the excitement. Even some nobles who have nothing to do are very curious, and there are quite a few who come here.

Therefore, as soon as the store opened, it was full of people, and anyone who felt that they had a little money would come in to have a look.

The result naturally did not disappoint them. The Spanish Continental Trading Company sold much more than the original Spanish Far East Trading Company, both in terms of category and quantity.

Originally, the Spanish Far East Trading Company often sold out silk and high-end porcelain. The Spanish Continental Trading Company boasted to Haikou to ensure sufficient supply.

There are also all kinds of spices, and even the Spanish Continental Trading Company also deals in various jewelry and exquisite glass products.

These are the favorites of nobles, and it is difficult for them to do business well!

Sitting in the office behind the store, Desilau couldn't help frowning as he watched the rising sales.

Alas, this business is too good to be a headache.

They have prepared a lot of goods, but they can't stand such crazy sales!

Originally, they thought that millions of taels of goods would be enough for the two stores to last for a few months. After all, the two stores opened by Carinho could earn millions of taels a year.

If the cost and profit are calculated in half, each store can sell about 100 million taels of goods a year.

They have prepared more than 50 taels of goods for each store, so they can last for at least half a year!

The problem is, their business is so good that they have sold tens of thousands of taels of goods in less than half a day since they opened. According to this sales volume, more than 50 taels of goods may not be able to last for a month!
How to do it?

After thinking about it for a while, he said loudly, "Let Louis come over."

Louis is actually Wang Chong. He did not choose this name to mock the French King Louis XIV. The main reason is that the name Louis is the most common name in Spain.

After a while, Wang Chong, who was covered in sweat, walked in.

No way, they and a group of Jinyiwei's elite scouts acted as shop assistants who moved goods and helped.

This business is so good, they are naturally too busy.

Seeing his sweating face, Desilao quickly got up and said, "Oh, Mr. Wang, you are really moving goods, if you have anything to do, just ask your subordinates to do it.

I see you are tired, come on, sit down and have a rest. "

After all, he will give way.

Wang Chong waved his hands again and again and said, "No need, just sit down.

We were originally moving goods, so if we stood still, we would be giving away our feet.

Don't worry, it's easier than when we're on other missions, nothing.

Also, don't speak Ming Dynasty official language to us in the future, it's easy to reveal your secrets if you get used to it. "

Uh, okay.

Desilau could only sit down helplessly, and then said in Spanish: "Our business is too good, the goods of more than 50 taels may not be able to last for a month, and it takes at least a month to make a round trip to Lisbon." time, what should I do?"

This is indeed a problem. If it is out of stock within a month of opening, it will be a joke.

Wang Chong frowned and pondered for a while, and then said decisively: "The people who delivered the goods to Seville had just set off for less than half a day, and you asked someone to ride a fast horse to chase the goods back. It's fine for them to go there, and don't take the goods with you." up.

Then, you send a fast horse to Lisbon, and ask Mr. Zheng to send a cargo to Seville.

Anyway, Seville is more than a thousand miles away from here, and it will take about ten days for our people to rush there. The delivery by ship must be ahead of them.

As for our side, by the way, you can ask the person rushing to Lisbon to send a letter, and ask the backup personnel there to deliver 200 million taels of goods to our farm. "

Uh, in this way, there is nothing wrong with Madrid.

They have 20 to [-] people in reserve, so it's no problem to send more than [-] truckloads of goods.

Moreover, the checkpoints along the way only recognize money but not people. As long as you put some money in, the goods will not be blocked.

The question is, can there be a ship from Seville?

Desilau thought for a while, and then carefully reminded: "My lord, if our ship appears in Seville, will it reveal our identities?"

Wang Chong shook his head slightly and said, "Don't worry, we didn't destroy all the Dutch ships back then, and the emperor ordered people to keep a few for research.

We could have delivered it on a Dutch ship, so they would have even less idea of ​​who we were. "

That's the way it is, so it's okay.

They were discussing there when a person suddenly rushed in from the door and said hurriedly: "My lords, the little Duke Goodman is here."

Little Duke Goodman?

This guy actually delivered it to the door so quickly.

They opened a shop here not only to sell goods to make money, they also have a more important task, which is to buy traitors!
They had already discussed this matter with the Carinho family, and this little Duke Goodman was their biggest target, not one of them.

Because this guy is the son of the Spanish Prime Minister Duke Goodman.

Moreover, this guy is notoriously lavish, and likes to use his identity to extort money everywhere.

They have already bribed the aristocratic officials who manage the city here, and ordinary aristocrats naturally dare not come to the store to make trouble.

This little Duke Goodman is different.

His father is the favorite of Felipe IV, the Prime Minister of Spain, there is no one in Madrid that this guy dare not provoke!

Originally they were still thinking about how to lure this dude over, but now it's all right, this guy came to the door by himself.

Desilau was stunned for a moment, and then confessed: "Louis, hurry up and arrange the stocking, I have to entertain the little Duke Goodman."

Hearing this, Wang Chong bowed and resigned without hesitation.

Desilao walked quickly to the store in front.

At this moment, the little Duke Goodman was standing in the middle of the huge storefront, his nostrils turned to the sky, and he was humming there.

The aristocrats and rich people who originally came to buy things in the store naturally knew this evil young man, everyone was scared away by him, and there were only a few thugs he brought in the store.

Seeing this, Desilau hurriedly stepped forward and bowed in salute: "Your Highness, I was about to ask someone to find you, but I didn't expect you to come here in person. It's really great."

This guy still wants to ask someone to find me?
what happened.

The little Duke Goodman lowered his proud head, looked at the stranger, and asked curiously, "Why are you looking for me?"

He certainly didn't suspect that this guy was trying to trouble him or even beat him up.

In Madrid and even in the whole of Spain, no one dared to provoke him except His Majesty's family.

He also knows that his reputation is not very good.

This guy still wants to ask someone to find him, can he not be curious.

Desilao pretended to be mysterious and said: "Your Highness, I came to you to ask for your help, but it's hard to say here, why don't we go to the back and sit down and talk about it?"

Okay, I'm still afraid that you won't bite me.

Goodman waved his hand without hesitation, followed Desilao with a few thugs and walked in.

Desilau led him directly to the living room, gave him the main seat, ordered a cup of freshly brewed coffee, and flattered him, "His Royal Highness, would you like some sugar?"

Oops, this guy is not simple, entertaining people with coffee!
This cup of coffee is not cheap, most people simply cannot afford it.

Goodman nodded slightly and said, "Some sugar."

Desilau hurriedly opened an exquisite small porcelain cup on the coffee table, took out an even more exquisite spoon, added a spoonful of sugar to the coffee, and then flattered: "His Royal Highness, is that enough?"

Goodman didn't notice such a thing on the table at first, but when he saw the exquisite small porcelain cup and spoon, his eyes lit up and he said, "How much is this thing, give me a set.

By the way, add two tablespoons of sugar. "

Desilau hurriedly added two more spoonfuls of sugar, and then gently put the small spoon into the coffee cup, then said flatteringly: "If His Royal Highness the Duke likes it, I'll ask someone to wrap a few sets for you later, how can I follow?" You count the money."

What the hell does this guy mean.

Goodman is just a bit of a dude, not stupid. Although he has never heard of the saying that being courteous for nothing is either rape or stealing, he can still feel that something is wrong when someone shows courteousness in front of him for no reason.

Holding a delicate little spoon, he stirred it slowly, and then asked, "What can I do for you?"

Desilao quickly explained: "That's it, Your Royal Highness, I want to open a few more stores, but I am not familiar with other places except Madrid and Seville, so I would like to invite His Royal Highness to enter." Individual stocks, help open this store to other places."

Shares?

I don't have any money. If I have money, will I come to blackmail you?

Of course, he wouldn't expose himself like this.

He was just stunned for a moment, and then continued to ask: "Your business is not small. I'm afraid it will cost you a lot of money to buy shares. I don't have that much spare money to start a business."

Unexpectedly, Desilao shook his head again and again and said, "How can I let His Highness the Young Duke pay for the shares, the shares are actually told to outsiders.

Your Royal Highness the Little Duke only needs to be named as a shareholder, and we will naturally give you dividends based on the store's profits. "

Is there such a good thing?

Goodman is really not a fool, this is so abnormal.

His status is indeed noble, but if others really want to send money to do anything, they will not look for him, but go directly to his father. false it.

If people give him free money, only a fool would believe it.

He frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly asked, "Where are you from?"

This of course already has an answer.

De Silao explained cautiously: "My family is from Madrid, and my ancestors had some money, so they bought a manor on the banks of the Manzanares River in the south.

However, later on, I lost money in business and lost my source of income, so I went to the Americas to try my luck.

Unexpectedly, I was lucky. Not only did I start a business there, but I also got to know the director of the Daming Western Company.

Your Royal Highness, to tell you the truth, this business is the private business of the director of Daming Western Company. There is no problem with the supply of goods, but it cannot be seen. "

It turns out that you are poaching the corner of the Ming Empire.

Very good, dig hard, don't dig in vain.

Goodman did not doubt that he had seen this kind of thing a lot.

He has no real power and no chance to dig.

If there is a chance to dig the corner of Spain, he will dig it without hesitation!
This is good, finally have a chance, the Ming Empire is richer than Spain.

He thought he understood: "Of course I won't gossip about this kind of thing. The question is, how much dividends can I get in a year under the name of this shareholder?"

Money can't be given to you too much, this is what the emperor specifically explained.

Desilao said cautiously: "Each store gives you a thousand pounds of silver every year, what do you think?"

One store is worth a thousand pounds, and ten stores are worth ten thousand pounds. With his status, it is not a problem to open more than a dozen stores.

This money is already quite a lot, barely enough for his expenses.

However, Goodman is still a little greedy and insignificant: "That's all?"

Desilao quickly explained: "His Royal Highness, you also know that these goods do not belong to me, I am just a consignment seller.

The director of the Daming Western Company still has to take the lead. If the cost of opening the store and the transfer fee are added, I can earn about [-] pounds for a store for a year.

However, I have the right to give away some of the things in this store.

Otherwise, you can take some of the things in the store if you like them, and you can tell me what you want, and I will find a way to get someone to buy it for you.

Even if you take tens of thousands of pounds of goods every year, there is no problem.

What do you think? "

This relationship is good, his main expenses are these extravagant things.

If there is no need to spend money on these, taking him is equivalent to earning more than 1 pounds of silver a year!
Goodman tentatively raised his glass and said, "I can take as much coffee as I can. I would drink at least ten pounds of coffee a month."

This thing is only valuable on the European side, and it can be planted everywhere in the Governorate of Brazil.

Desilau nodded without hesitation: "No problem, we will provide you with ten pounds of coffee for free every month."

well.

This is a fortune.

Goodman also nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I will help with this!"
