"Your Majesty, I'm not in a hurry for the rest. It's the gift you just gave us. Can you buy me some more? I'll pay a high price for them!"

Thomas rubbed his hands.

"I'll give you a hundred gold coins for a crystal ball!"

Thomas shouted.

Ho!
One hundred gold coins to buy a broken crystal ball?
Upon hearing Thomas's quotation, all the civil and military officials, princes and nobles present were shocked.

Was Thomas kicked in the head by a donkey?
Now Ouyang Lun will make a lot of money again, I'm envious!

However, just when everyone thought Ouyang Lun would agree immediately, Ouyang Lun frowned slightly and remained silent.

This made Thomas anxious.

There must have been too little bidding. How could such a beautiful treasure be sold for only a hundred gold coins?

Thinking of this, Thomas spoke again.

My consort, please agree quickly!

"Of course, our Ming Dynasty treats foreign businessmen equally. We can give you quotas based on your financial situation and comprehensive factors." Ouyang Lun said with a smile: "This time I plan to take out 500 colored glaze balls for distribution. , For example, if Thomas buys fifty pieces, the rest of you can also buy fifty pieces, or you can buy ten pieces, and the price is still the same. "

"Your Majesty, can we also buy it?" A foreign businessman couldn't help but stood up and asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally very happy with the behavior of foreign businessmen chasing after sending money, and did not bother him. He also thoughtfully sent people drinks and food, so that everyone could drink and eat while chatting about business. The dance and music in Fengtian Hall were also non-stop.

"Your Majesty the Prince Consort, I want fifty!"

"I want fifty too!"

"If you purchase up to fifty balls in addition, you will be eligible to purchase an additional fine glass ball, which is the one I just gave to Thomas!"

"Your Majesty, why is this? Is it not that much?" Thomas asked quickly.

All civil and military officials, princes and nobles, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang were dumbfounded.

Other foreign businessmen looked puzzled.

Ouyang Lun nodded slowly, "The price is right, but I can't sell you a hundred pills, at most fifty."

"I won't hesitate next time."

"Your Majesty the Prince Consort, I am willing to pay 500 gold coins to buy each one, a hundred first!"

"Don't worry if you haven't bought it yet. We'll wait for the second batch, and then remember to act quickly." Ouyang Lun continued.

"For the ten people who registered in front, the first batch of 500 ordinary colored glaze balls and ten fine colored glaze balls have been purchased!" Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

Ouyang Lun had no choice but to bring local businessmen from Ming Dynasty over to discuss with Thomas and other foreign businessmen.

In the blink of an eye, five hundred pills were sold out.

hiss--

Thomas was stunned.

"Five hundred gold coins!"

“There’s a second batch, how great it is!”

"This" Thomas.

Thomas didn't know what people on Daming's side were thinking. He was very uneasy now. He desperately hoped that Ouyang Lun would nod and let him buy it!

Hearing Thomas's quotation again, the civil and military ministers, princes and nobles all took a breath and couldn't sit still.

With Ouyang Lun's example just now, the local merchants in the Ming Dynasty followed suit, and even outdone their predecessors!

For a time, the original feast of the God of Wealth turned into a trading market.

"If you have an idea, you can pay a deposit and place an order now. There are only 500 glass balls in the first batch, first come, first served!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang, civil and military officials, princes and nobles heard Ouyang Lun's sale plan, they shouted in their hearts - awesome!
After Thomas and other foreign businessmen heard this plan, they basically didn't think about it and started speaking one after another.

If we do a few more trips at this price, it will not be 250,000, but 2.5 million. Twenty-five million! !

Five hundred gold coins each, how much is one hundred coins?
Fifty thousand gold coins!
A gold coin weighs about one tael. Fifty thousand gold coins are equivalent to 50,000 taels of gold. According to the current exchange rate of gold and silver, one gold and five silvers is equivalent to 250,000 taels of silver.

The money may not be much, but Daming only needs to pay a hundred worthless glass balls, and this is just a business trip.

"Ah."

When Ouyang Lun finished speaking.

"I have fifty!"

"I really don't have much on hand right now, and besides Thomas, do you want this glass bead? Do other foreign businessmen want it? I can't favor one and give it all to you, right?" Ouyang Lun said with a smile. .

Perhaps the glass balls aroused the foreign businessmen's desire to buy, or they were worried that they would not be able to buy anything if they were slow to start. Thomas and other foreign businessmen stopped eating and simply gathered around Ouyang Lun to buy other things.

There were more than ten foreign businessmen, and those who shouted too slowly all looked annoyed.

Now not only the civil and military officials, princes and nobles were anxious, but Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting at the top, was even more anxious. What is the difference between this and picking up money for nothing! !

Although the civil and military officials, princes and nobles were curious, they did not want to disturb him and continued drinking and dancing!

"Your Majesty, what's the price?"

Ah!
what?
what! ?

Chili noodles, soap, Maotai wine, rapeseed oil, silk. The prices are higher than the last, and each is more scary than the last. The price is at least five times and the most is ten times.

Red flag carriages are also exported.

After Thomas and other foreign businessmen saw these things, they were confused. There was no need for Ming Dynasty to ask for a high price. They themselves shouted the price crazily, for fear that Ming Dynasty would not sell it if the price was too low.

The local merchants in Ming Dynasty all smiled crookedly. They had never felt that business had been so easy.

If Ouyang Lun hadn't been watching, they would have sold the 055 destroyer, the improved red cannon, the new armor, and the new crossbow! !
After some trading.

The transaction volume reached an astonishing 10 million gold coins, equivalent to 50 million taels of silver. Among them, Da Ming's profit alone was about 40 million taels, which was almost half of Da Ming's tax revenue last year.

Hearing such transaction volume and profits directly frightened the people on Daming's side.

Are foreigners so rich?

Gold coins are like free money!
Zhu Yuanzhang was even more excited. It seemed that it would be no problem for Daming to double its income this year compared to last year! When discussing with Ouyang Lun before, Zhu Yuanzhang still felt that Ouyang Lun was bragging again and worried about the money for hosting this God of Wealth Banquet, but now he feels that his worries are a bit ridiculous. Compared with the 40 million taels of silver he just earned, it is not enough to hold the banquet. The money for the God of Wealth Banquet is simply a drop in the bucket.

If this foreign businessman is so rich, wouldn't the country behind these people be even richer?

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang had a better understanding of what Ouyang Lun said about attracting investment and developing markets.

The God of Wealth Banquet was held very successfully, and it can be said that the guest of honor was very happy!
Thomas and other foreign businessmen are also very happy. They bought a lot of things in Daming, many of which are not available in their country. As long as they are shipped back, they will definitely sell well, and they can also make a lot of money!
All business matters were settled and the banquet was in its later stages. Everyone was changing glasses and drinking happily.

In the end, Thomas and other foreign businessmen were all drunk alone. Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and arranged a single room for each of them in the palace. Living in the palace was a treatment that businessmen had never received before, and they were also protected by the palace guards.

Nowadays, foreign businessmen like Thomas are all treasures. They dropped tens of millions of gold coins on the territory of Ming Dynasty. This kind of treatment is not an exaggeration at all!
Damn, it would be nice if there were more banquets like the God of Wealth Banquet.

Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about this before going to bed.

The God of Wealth Banquet became a symbol.

It marked that Ming Dynasty officially opened up trade relations with foreign merchants, and also allowed foreign merchants to understand Ming Dynasty's attitude toward doing business in Ming Dynasty.

There is no doubt that after the God of Wealth Banquet, people in the Ming Dynasty welcomed foreign businessmen to send money for business, and foreign businessmen were also happy to come to the Ming Dynasty to pan for gold.

the next day.

Thomas woke up from his sleep and looked at the large, luxurious and classic room. Thomas shook his head and slowly recalled what happened last night, with a smile on his face.

The business talks were very pleasant yesterday, with a lot of results and a lot of fun. The emperor personally hosted a banquet, accompanied by civil and military ministers, princes and nobles, and local big businessmen. He had never enjoyed such a standard in the Netherlands, many times He all has the idea of ​​​​joining the Ming Dynasty.

"Business with Daming must continue and deepen!"

"We have to sell the supplies purchased in Ming Dynasty in China as soon as possible. As for the Dutch Navy, we can give some appropriate information, otherwise they will definitely not be able to help but take action against Ming, which will ruin my plan to make money!"

Although Thomas was a spy in the Dutch Navy, he was more of a businessman whose core purpose was to make money.

How could he give up after finding such a good money-making opportunity in Ming Dynasty, so he decided to pass the news to the Dutch Navy bit by bit to delay himself for some time.

Little did he know that it was his action that saved the Dutch navy from being destroyed prematurely.

"It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty has done a good job of keeping their military strength secret. Until now, we still haven't figured out what the military strength of the Ming Dynasty is. Either the Ming Dynasty's military strength is very poor, or... very strong? Impossible."

"I have plenty of time, so I will explore slowly. The main goal now is to make money!"

Thomas has begun to imagine how much money he will make by transporting these goods back and selling them.

"When I come to Daming next time, I can transport goods from the Netherlands and make another profit!"

With the Ministry of Accounts watching, the business concluded at the God of Wealth Banquet began to progress steadily.

The goods purchased by foreign merchants from Daming were shipped from all over the country to Hong Kong Village Port, where all goods would be loaded and exported.

Thomas only needs to inspect the goods at the Hong Kong Village Port. Of course, the transportation and handling costs will naturally be borne by foreign merchants like Thomas.

Being able to save such trouble, foreign businessmen like Thomas were of course happy to spend money.

After confirming that there was no problem with the cargo, Thomas boarded his cargo ship and set sail!

Standing on the bow of the ship and looking back at the port of Hong Kong Village, Thomas felt like he was in a dream.

When he received the news, he rushed to Daming with the money. Although he spent all the money, he was very satisfied with the return of a shipload of goods.

"After these goods are disposed of, I have to return to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible. I can't let other foreign businessmen take away my title as the number one foreign businessman in the Ming Dynasty."

Thomas swore secretly.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands is not at peace in the country. There are often rebellions by the lower lords. The King of the Netherlands often goes to quell the rebellion. Various supplies are relatively scarce. The Dutch navy alone can only solve urgent needs by plundering everywhere at sea.

Now that the ship of goods he brought back will definitely be sold at a good price, and the news he brought back is enough for him to meet the king!
That's right, Thomas's ambitions have expanded. He is no longer satisfied with being a spy for the Dutch navy. He wants to directly contact the king. Perhaps he can become the richest man in the Netherlands by reselling Ming's things, and even the king's. Welcome!
"What are you all trying to do to me! Increase the speed of the boat to the fastest speed, and I will rush back as fast as possible!!"

"Even one step slower can cost thousands of dollars!"

"You guys keep dragging your feet like this, believe it or not, I will throw you into the sea and feed you to the sharks!!"

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the folder handed over by the Ministry of Revenue, which detailed the accounts of the God of Wealth Banquet.

"Ten million, twenty million, thirty million, forty-three million, four and a half million. That's just one night! That's how much money you make!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking happily, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

"Father, this God of Wealth Banquet was so successful. From now on, my Ming Dynasty will have new income growth points! This time it all depends on brother-in-law Ouyang."

Zhu Biao was also very excited.

When Zhu Biao praised Ouyang Lun, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became unhappy, "What do you mean it's all thanks to Ouyang Lun? Don't we, father and son, have no credit?"

"If you hadn't been busy preparing for the God of Wealth Banquet, that guy Ouyang Lun was hiding in the sect's mansion and sleeping. If we hadn't appeared at the God of Wealth Banquet and brought hundreds of civil and military officials, princes and nobles with us, Ouyang Lun would have been alone. Lun, can it have such a good effect? ​​"

Zhu Biao muttered: "Father, you are right, but after all, this idea came from brother-in-law Ouyang."

"He comes up with a lot of ideas." Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes and muttered: "He can also come up with ideas, and the actions depend on our father and son."

"Biao'er, don't always praise Ouyang Lun. If you praise him too much, he will go to heaven."

"Not only can't you praise him, but you also have to suppress him severely to make him understand who has the final say in this Ming Dynasty!"

"I understand!" Zhu Biao nodded helplessly.

"Your Majesty, the Prince Consort is here." Wang Zhong walked in hurriedly and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ouyang Lun walked in.

"My son-in-law, Ouyang Lun, has met His Majesty!"

"Hurry up and get free of charge!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the dragon chair, walked to Ouyang Lun quickly, and helped him up.

"There are no outsiders here, so there is no need for courtesy. Don't call me Your Majesty. We still like you to call us the Emperor's father-in-law!! It's more cordial!"

"Wonderful son-in-law, come and call us one!"

Zhu Biao: Yeah! ? ?
