The butterfly effect is so real and terrible!

In the spring, Luoning purchased the southern goods hoarded by merchants from Nanming in Wenzhou at a high price last fall, not only consuming more than 20 million taels of working capital of the joint company, but also fatally occupying valuable market share!

Although the Ming Dynasty has ended the war in China for years and has become prosperous again, the population of the Northern Dynasties is only 50 to 60 million. Whether it is Sumu, Nanzhu, Longnaoxiang, Myanmar Cuisine are all luxury goods. It is rare for ordinary people to get one luxury in a year. The demand for dignitaries is not large, especially after a hoarding and selling, which hurts the market. The inventory that Luoning forced to buy is enough for the East India Company to sell for more than two or three years, and it is almost unprofitable and loses marketing!

In order to make up for a mistake, the experienced female shopkeeper began a series of crazy mistakes. In order to make up for the company's losses on the books, Luo Ning completely ignored the industrial chain formed in Southeast Asia over the years, minimized the share of imported luxury goods from southern goods, and increased the export volume. On the one hand, it destroyed the merchants and farmers living around these southern goods industrial chains of the five countries in Central and South China and South China, and on the other hand, it forced the healthy market to saturate. Originally, the gap between the Ming Dynasty's scissors was still a healthy small scissor, but after being supported by her, it became a terrible crocodile-nosed pliers.

At this time, Luo Ning was scared, desperate, and helpless. She chose to confess to Mao Jue, but after confessing, the female shopkeeper made the last fatal mistake. Three days after the black book was sent out, Luo Ning could no longer withstand the pressure like a mountain. She abandoned the company and fled!

Even the secretary of the closest assistants around her did not bring them. She used curtains to make ropes and slid down from the office on the third floor, covered her beautiful face with a headscarf, and mixed up with the assistant's identity certificate. No one could have imagined that the eldest lady of the Luo family, who is truly considered to be less than one person, would take this step. As everyone could not expect, she escaped from Hangzhou.

On the third day after Luo Ning escaped, three magnificent and extremely gorgeous sail gunboats arrived at Hangzhou Bay.

Public is public, private is private. Mao Jue's own industry is completely independent of the Ministry of Revenue. With Wen Bo's son Wen Shenzhi as the management director, he gathered a group of Wen's family members, a few juniors who could take action by Yuhang Mao's family, the Chen family, the Yu family, and even the former royal family Zhu family, Mao Jue formed his own royal property committee and handed over the years to them to manage the industries he had invested and built over the years. He also had a small group in his hands.

However, a small royal industry committee, not even a ninth-rank sesame official, was even a first-rank grandmaster who had to be trembling and serve carefully because Mao Jue was really a god of wealth! The five major groups in the world, Liaoshang Group owned 30% of the shares, Mingying and East India Company occupied 40% of the shares, Huishang's Centennial Salt Tea Chamber invested 10% of the shares, Shanxi Shang's Bank of China invested 10% of the shares, and Shaanxi Shang's Bank of China operated the Ancient Tea Horse Road and the Old Silk Road, Mao Jue didn't look too much at it, but invested 8% of the shares.

In addition, he has a large number of steel manufacturing plants and Lushun shipyards in Liaodong, and thousands of hectares of sugarcane gardens and spice gardens in Southeast Asia, and pearl tilty flats. He also invested in several large mines in the New World. He was afraid of being poor in his previous life, and in this life he took all the money he could make.

I guess if I tried my best to make money, the civil servants and officials would curse themselves for most of my life to slap 30 to 40 million taels of taels of knowledge in the spring, and even those who know in the spring would have to be so angry that they would be alive. The same emperor, why is the gap so big?

It was also because of this power that when the Commissioner of the Royal Institutional Commission arrived, on July 18, all shareholders of the East India Company, led by Ruan Dacheng, went to the port to welcome him.

These people are really rich and have a thick red carpet. Ordinary people are just laying together their weddings. They directly filled the entire port with tens of thousands of square meters, which is extremely grand. Colorful silks are tied to the railings and trees. In a hot day, Ruan Dacheng and his party also wore thick silk lord dresses in three rows and waited neatly on the edge of the port.

Looking at the magnificent and majestic sail battleship slowly approaching the company's dedicated harbor, whether it was Ruan Dacheng or Zhao Deyong, Sun Shutong and other major shareholders breathed a sigh of relief, especially Sun Shutong whispered to Ruan Dacheng with gratitude: "The company is saved! Judging from this attitude, either Director Wen is here or Lord Chen is here!"

The major shareholders also nodded each other easily. After seeing the small and medium shareholders of the board of directors couldn't help but feel relieved. But while they were watching, the huge sail battleship was pulled to the shore by the trainer, but after the huge helmets and hats wrapped in red velvet, the Royal Guard, wearing red armored uniform, ran down fiercely, and then stood in a row at the port, holding the bayonet and flintlock rifle, which was murderous. In the surprised eyes of Ruan Dacheng and others, an imperial guard led the red velvet on the hat to walk to them, pointing at the shareholder masters who were rich and powerful, shouting arrogantly.

"Sir, I feel unwell! If you have a title, please come on the boat to see you!"

What a big show!

However, Ruan Dacheng and other shareholders who were named after the name still did not dare to be negligent at all. They agreed and followed the captain to trot and walked through the guards to the boarding ladder. On the deck, there were actually several female guards touching the twenty wealthy grandsons who were not fat and thin with their hands. Not to mention the swords and swords, they even got down the cigarette pipes, pots, and abacus boxes, which made them get on the bridge.

On this side, Ruan Dacheng was still guessing that the big man from the fallen imperial property committee had come, but he was suddenly surprised that Zhao Deyong, the veteran major shareholder who was following him, had his legs weakened and he suddenly fell to the ground. He panicked in an incredible panic and said, "Your Majesty!!!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

When Ruan Dacheng shivered, he also slapped on the ground. Opposite him, he sat on the big sofa, and put his right leg on his left leg like the Navy General of One Piece. He was wearing a spiritual black robe similar to the Zhongshan suit in later generations, and his sleeves were embroidered with a majestic middle-aged man with five-clawed dragon embroidered with a majestic middle-aged man. Isn't it Mao Jue or who?

Not only because of Luoning, the taxes paid by the East India Company and its subsidiaries annually amounted to 150,000 taels of taxes, accounting for one quarter of the imperial tax revenue. The only one that can compete with it is the Liaodong merchants that developed the earliest. The Liao merchants only have 13 million taxes per year. The remaining three major merchant groups, Shaanxi merchants, Shanxi merchants and Hui merchants, only 16 million taels per piece, and three plus one piece can compete with them. If you have a problem with such a super export trading company with a monopoly position, Mao Jue is in a hurry and it is wrong.

Looking at the shareholders sweating on their heads, Mao Jue suddenly stood up and questioned with surprise and anger: "Where is Luo Ning? She dares to make such a big mess, so she dare not come to see me in person?"

He looked at each other in a glance, and finally saw everyone staring at his back, including the three cowardly old men of the Luo family. Ruan Dacheng kowtowed: "Go back to Your Majesty! Executive Director, she..., she defected!"

"Defection!!!"

Mao Jue's head was really buzzing. He and Luo Ning have been tangled for so many years. Even if they don't have a strong relationship, they always have old feelings. As it is to be decided today, Mao Jue never thought that Luo Ning abandoned him at this critical moment. This is even more annoying than the trick Luo Ning caused him!

After being stunned for more than half a minute, the angry Emperor could not suppress his anger. He raised the large vase on the table and smashed it hard on the ground. In an instant, the precious Tang Dynasty large porcelain vase fell to pieces. The violent sound scared the group of major shareholders' bodies trembled violently.

But after all, it was Emperor Mao, not Chongzhen, who was angry with others. He vented this moment and took a few breaths of violence. Mao Jue still forced himself to slow down and glanced at the shareholders kneeling on the ground. He waved his hand helplessly.

"You are all people with titles, just a great worship ceremony, and all of them will be up to discuss matters! Come on, put the round table meeting up and send someone to the company to get all the documents. I must first know what the situation is going on before I can find a way!"

"As for the order!"

…………

This is the first time Ruan Dacheng has attended such a meeting, especially as one of the directors of the resolution, sitting in the front. It is the first time that he is on an equal footing with the emperor. He only feels like a cactus pierced on his butt, with a fat head full of sweat and restlessness. He is next to Mao Jue, but he has not spoken a word when explaining the situation recently. Zhao Deyong, the big director who has been under Mao Jue for a long time, talks happily and introduces the general situation. With the addition of other small and medium shareholders, Mao Jue's brows are really twisted into a knot.

The Luzon colony is not bad. The large planters who are now settled there are basically Ming people under the East India Company. Although the company suddenly cut off the purchase and caused them to suffer heavy losses, they were not at least damaged. The trade in the three islands of Luzon is still normal, and the import of bulk rice, sugar, dried fruit rubber and other commodities is still normal.

But the population of Luzon is still too small, and the trade volume accounts for only one-fifth of the East India Company's turnover, accounting for one-half of the trade volume of the five central and southern countries and seven banks are all in chaos. After the import of precious luxury goods such as sumu, amber, and Burmese jade, a large number of industrial chains of noble elites in these countries have been severely hit, and large-scale businesses such as exporting silk, tea, tobacco, metal products, and imported rice and medicinal materials cannot be carried out, because the 20 million taels of stocks of southern goods were hoarded, and the tax revenue was reduced by at least 60 to 8 million taels. Mao Jue's toothache was like a toothache, and his cheeks were twitching, pinching the thorn of his chin, and then he asked in a low voice.

"What can the countermeasures of Huang Degong, the Governor of the Luzon Colonial, and the Seventh Division of the Central and Southern Division? What are the solutions for the directors?"

"Go back to the big boss! Lord Huang puts state affairs first and advises everyone to go back. Luzon is not a big problem, but Miss Luo Yu, the director of the Chameng headquarters of the five central and southern countries, has no solution yet to be reported!"

"Luo Yu!"

One Luo Ning was enough to make Mao Jue upset. Another inaction-free Luo Yu popped up here. Mao Jue's head became a little bigger and he couldn't help but pull his little beard at his chin again.

It was probably a problem caused by the Donglin party struggle, so Ruan Dacheng finally turned his mind and added a hurried sentence.

"Your Majesty, not only did he not respond or report any disposal plan, a few days ago, the shopkeeper Li of the Annan Coastal Defense Branch also came to Han to accuse Miss Luo of the. She forced the coastal defense branch to stop import and export trade activities, causing the originally calm Annan Coastal Defense Branch to become in chaos!"

"All of a mess?"

This made Mao Jue subconsciously raise his eyebrows again. But after a moment, he actually smiled and muttered a little.

"It's amazing!"

wonderful?

He never expected Mao Jue to react like this. Ruan Dazhu shivered, and his round brain also started to spin quickly.
