Chapter 466 The wicked have their own grind

The bankers in Genoa provided loans to the Spanish government, and the Spanish government repaid them with commercial privileges and silver. The two sides used and cooperated with each other.

This model is the model for Spain to maintain its hegemony in the case of militarism.

When digging deeper, people know that in that era, bankers did not have many high-yield investment fields, especially in wartime areas.

Such a big business as the royal loan is really not to be missed, and the Spanish Habsburg family is the royal family that borrows the most money.

Even though the Spanish government went bankrupt four times during Philip II's reign, the most recent a year ago, the bankers made money excluding the years in which the royal family went bankrupt.

Not only that, the benefits of lending to the royal family also included the right to export Spanish gold and silver bars, which were their main profitable items.

Therefore, although every time the royal family goes bankrupt and cheats, many banking families with less capital will go bankrupt and collapse, but there are still many bankers who provide loans to the royal family like moths to a flame, just for those temptations that cannot be refused.

However, once there is another possibility, such as opening up the Chinese market, and cooperating with Chinese people to sell Chinese luxury goods that can make huge profits in the whole European continent.

What will Genoa's bankers think?

What would the envious mad king of France who was short of money think?

Doing business with the royal family is extremely risky. Once the other party declares that the government is bankrupt and defaulting on debts, they actually don't have much countermeasures.

The so-called "before I borrowed money, I was an uncle, after I borrowed money, I am a grandson", this sentence is not just for fun, otherwise there would not be so many debt collection companies and debt collection businesses.

Whenever the Spanish royal family declares bankruptcy, there will be a large number of unlucky people who will follow the bankruptcy. The government's bankruptcy is more of a means rather than an actual bankruptcy. The royal family is still honored, but the bankruptcy of the bankers means the real end of the family, and there is no way out. up.

Compared with such a high-risk business project, the cooperation with the Chinese can be described as zero risk.

The Chinese themselves used their fleets to transport the goods to the ports of Genoa, and the Genoese bankers sent men to receive the goods for payment, and then used their distribution channels to sell them.

Although the Chinese ask for a very high price and the cost is very high, there is definitely a market, and there are definitely people who will buy it, and the supply is in short supply. If you buy a catty of gold, you can sell it for a catty and a half or even two catties of gold, and the profits are scary.

The goods of the previous dozens of ships have all been sold out now, and they are basically covered by the major royal families in Europe. Even the Pope sent people to snap up some of them to grab a little. The supply is absolutely in short supply.

Moreover, what the Chinese can bring is definitely not just porcelain, silk and tea. They found that the Chinese have more things that fascinate them. Each of these things has huge commercial value. Once developed, the profits will be huge. Far exceeded their expectations!

Such as Chinese food!

Both France and Genoa negotiated with the Chinese to open Chinese restaurants in their countries, to lead the trend of Chinese food culture, to experience the taste of culture, and to make money.

They already knew the huge potential of Chinese food. The two chefs Chen Long was staying in Genoa were now serving the top nobles of Genoa.

For example, the governor and top bankers of Genoa, and even some aristocrats who are fanatical about Chinese food have reached the point where they do not eat non-Chinese food.

Kingdom of gold!That is the real country of gold!powerful!civilization!Rich!Be ethical!
This is the ideal partner!

The Spanish royal family that goes bankrupt at every turn! shit!

If it weren't for those privileges, they wouldn't play with the royal family!
So before Chen Longzheng left, so many bankers were crying and shouting to follow him back to discuss business, and the French government also sent special personnel to follow him to discuss business, and even the representatives of some countries rushed to Genoa after Chen Longzheng left, because there was no sooner. Hurry up, regretful intestines are green.

So, you said that with such a high profit expectation, once they are cut off by the Spanish royal family who don't know what to do, will the bankers in Genoa eat people?Will the King of France go mad?

Seizing money is like killing one's parents. If the Spanish royal family really doesn't know what to do, they will insist on making enemies with the Chinese. Although Genoa is a vassal state of Spain, their bankers are not Spanish subjects.

Immediately withdrawing assets and stopping funding, the Spanish government really went bankrupt and collapsed in minutes.

And France is not really at war with Spain yet, but just wants to regain some of the land occupied by the Spaniards with the help of France's religious civil strife.

Spain's biggest enemies are England at sea and the Netherlands in northern France. If France and Genoa are really pushed to the opposite side because of economic interests, then they will really lose miserably.

Even if Philip II was a war madman, he should also know what he couldn't do. The Spaniards' finances were already very bad under the militarism, and they couldn't bear the Genoese's withdrawal of capital and the complete hostility of France.

Not to mention that even the Holy See is being used by Xiao Ruxun now.

Does Spain want to be an enemy of the world?

They definitely didn't dare, so they could only suffer from this dumb loss.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that these guys may suddenly come up with some unexpected incident to retaliate against China, so there is still an escort fleet, and we must deepen relations and in-depth cooperation with France and Genoa.

Get a reliable ally in the European continent to safeguard China's commercial interests in Europe and open up a brand new market.

"Tilong, don't worry, the Spaniards will never dare to confront us in an open and honest manner. Although we must guard against them playing tricks, in general, there is no need to worry. If they do evil, the wicked will be tortured by the wicked, and they will regret it. Yes, don't worry, they will take care of this dumb loss."

Xiao Ruxun smiled, this smile made Chen Longzheng a little apprehensive.

In any case, everything will not go back to the past. The surrender form of "Luzon Kingdom" has been sent to the capital. If there is no accident, the bestowal will be granted soon. The first step of the layout has been completed. Next , Xiao Ruxun will start attacking the natives of the Philippines.

After those natives learned that the Spaniards' strength had been greatly damaged, they would definitely be eager to attack Manila, the core of the Spaniards' rule. Manila has a large amount of military reserves and material reserves, and there is still a large amount of spices that have not been sold in time. These are now cheaper. Xiao Ruxun belongs to him. loot.

And obviously, those natives came for Xiao Ruxun's spoils.

That being the case, it is necessary to fight a war to hurt them and establish the status of the new colonial master.

My money is not so easy to get!
