Of course, he would not show up as his Dawson to compete with the Li family fleet!
In that way, he would not be able to stand behind Li Huamei.??.?`
He wants to set up an agent.
Who else can reassure Lin Qing more than Zhou Zhiruo?
Although Zhou Zhiruo has not experienced the baptism of the Age of Discovery, Lin Qing believes that a girl who can play Xie Xun, Zhang Wuji, Zhao Min and others with her own strength, and even win the world's number one martial arts title, cannot be a simple person!
At least in terms of potential, she is an absolutely smart woman!
Smart people are always smart.
With a little training, Zhou Zhiruo quickly mastered the secret of the Great Century of Sailing.
That is to buy low and sell high, and earn the difference.
With this major premise, and Lin Qing had already formulated a development strategy centered on Hangzhou, it was not difficult for Zhou Zhiruo to master a detachment fleet as the commander of the fleet.
After listening to Lin Qing's words, Zhou Zhiruo was very interested in the promising job of the fleet commander.
Don’t forget that Zhou Zhiruo has a family background. Her father was a Han River fisherman. When he was young, Zhou Zhiruo lived on a boat, and the water and boat nature were quite good. She was also familiar with the ability to take charge of a fleet.
Zhou Zhiruo and Lin Qing sat down and discussed the next countermeasures.
"The start-up capital is only 10,000 yuan, not very sufficient." Zhou Zhiruo looked at the navigation chart and frowned: "How do you plan to operate?"
Lin Qing said in a deep voice: "The most profitable routes related to Hangzhou are only sold in silk fabrics from Hangzhou and cotton fabrics from Nagasaki, as well as ceramics from Hangzhou and glass from Osaka, which can be sold at sky-high prices."
Zhou Zhiruo said inexplicably: "But the question is that the Laidao family is currently in a state of war with us. How can we trade goods there and do business?"
Lin Qing smiled faintly: "This is not a problem. Although Shinji Mikami is unwilling to give me capital, it does not prevent him from using some powers and making us do some small business...?`I'll write him a letter now."
With the current interests, Lin Qing couldn't say that he would use the power of the Zhuxia Gang to the extreme.
The most wonderful thing is that Shinji Mikami asked him for a request at this time, and he had to agree.
Anyone who has played the Age of Discovery knows that the biggest setting in the Age of Discovery is that things are precious because they are rare!
At this time, the Laijima family and the Li family were in a state of war for a long time, and the Ming Dynasty and Japan would inevitably be unable to trade. The silk and porcelain from Hangzhou could not be transported to Japan, and the glass and cotton fabrics from Japan were also impossible to arrive in Hangzhou.
In this way, once someone can break through the barriers of war between the two sides, they can make a big profit and make a big profit!
Lin Qing is coming to harvest this bucket of gold!
His letter was quickly responded by Shinji Mikami.
However, the tone of the in charge of the Takeshita Gang was very cold.
"Your Excellency, as far as I know, you are a killer, not a businessman. The reason you came to this world was to help me assassinate Li Huamei and clean up the Li family caravan. However, given that you have entered the Li family chamber and are in a high position, I finally agreed to your request. After consultation with Laijima family, he granted you the qualification for trading cotton fabrics in Nagasaki. The total market share is no more than 2o%. You will pay 50,000 gold coins to obtain this qualification. I hope you can complete the task of killing Li Huamei within 3 months."
Lin Qing smiled slightly.
This negotiation finally had a satisfactory result.
His identity as a double spy has played a huge role here.
The Takeshita Gang is definitely not so kind. Shinji Mikami just used him to kill Li Huamei, and his subsequent market share would never be allowed to be dominated by him for a long time.
Thinking of this, Lin Qing smiled in his heart.
Since he has come to this wonderful world of sailing, he has no intention of letting go easily.
In this world, there are countless treasures, extremely rich business paths, and colorful beautiful partners. How could he be willing to leave if he doesn't squeeze the world dry?
Establishing a power in East Asia is just his first step in the chessboard.??.?`
It's like a cold camel, first squeezes its head in, then its body in, then its tail, and finally squeezes its owner out of the tent.
Sausage-cutting tactics.
This is Lin Qing’s plan.
He used his relationship with Ming Dynasty officials and special channels to come to the island family to form a smuggling channel between the Ming Dynasty and Japan!
This will become a gold trade route that can make money every day.
He explained this idea to Zhou Zhiruo.
Zhou Zhiruo's eyes were bright, looking at her man, happily like a flower, holding her cheeks and smiling at him.
"Why do you laugh like this?"
"Husband" Zhou Zhiruo's voice was sweet and soft: "I ask you, since you have such a good business path, why do you still have to supervise the Li Family Chamber of Commerce?"
"···Of course it's to complete the task! Hong Gang, Mikami Shinji, and mine."
"Does your own mission necessarily include collecting a beautiful woman, entering the harem, and similar to mine?" Zhou Zhiruo's smile was sweet.
Lin Qing: "······"
It's indeed a smart woman, Bingxue is smart.
Lin Qing went through all his words and finally convinced Zhou Zhiruo to be the admiral of his first fleet.
The female admiral Zhou Zhiruo officially took office.
But the problem is that the first fleet of the Lin Family Chamber of Commerce did not have a single ship, let alone a single sailor.
Her subordinates do not have a single ship.
This is not a problem for Lin Qing.
He still had 50,000 yuan in principal and brought Zhou Zhiruo to the shipyard.
Low-end goods like small sailboats are available in shipyards, and they can be picked up without reservation in advance.
Small Chinese sailing ship: priced at 3 ooo gold coins per ship, two standard cargo compartments, suitable for near-coastal navigation, and cannot adapt to ocean waters. It is equipped with weapons, a 1o-pound naval gun. Standard sailor, 24 people.
It is very affordable and cheap, and it is suitable for sailing in offshore waters such as China and Japan.
Lin Qing asked Zhou Zhiruo to buy 5 ships in one go in the name of the Zhou family caravan.
Lin Qing knew that the Li family caravan was a local snake in this Hangzhou city. As long as Zhou Zhiruo showed up at the wharf and ordered the entire fleet, the news would reach Li Huamei's ears within half an hour.
But this is just the beginning.
Lin Qing then called Zhou Zhiruo to go to the restaurant and recruited soldiers and horses.
It just so happened that the place was in a downturn recently, with sailors idle in the wine shop, drunk and dreaming all day long, and the gold coins in their pockets were increasingly used up. As soon as Zhou Zhiruo left, it caused a sensation.
Because the number of sailors she wants to recruit is as many as 12o!
This number of people may not be large in the Li family fleet, but for sailors who are accustomed to recruiting people in the Li family fleet, the unfamiliar Zhou family fleet immediately aroused everyone's interest.
This means that Hangzhou City will no longer be monopolized by the Li family, and someone will come out to compete with the Li family!
With a lot of gold coins, recruiting people is naturally not a problem.
Zhou Zhiruo selected 120 strong and capable young men and took them to the market.
This time, at the dock market in Hangzhou, she finally met someone she had been waiting for.
Xiang Feihu - Li Huamei!
When Zhou Zhiruo appeared in the shipyard, ordered five cargo ships in the name of the Zhou family fleet, and then ran to the restaurant to sprinkle gold and recruit soldiers, Li Huamei had already received the information!
This is like a bolt from the blue for Li Huamei who is struggling to support her!
Before she could investigate carefully, she hurried to the market with Yang Xien and others.
The two women meet!
Zhou Zhiruo was wearing a pink long dress, as elegant as a fairy, with a thin and pink makeup, and was not as good as a peony in the breeze.
Li Huamei was wearing a long red dress, blooming implicitly, with red lip flaming, and heroic appearance, like a blooming rose.
The leaders of the two chambers of commerce are actually beautiful women with beautiful national beauty.
This shocked many businesses, bosses, coolies and assistants at Hangzhou Wharf.
Li Huamei had a cold face and stared at Zhou Zhiruo.
Zhou Zhiruo was not afraid and walked over head-on.
Two beauties, less than one meter away, stand opposite each other.
"Why are you doing business in Hangzhou?" Li Huamei took a deep breath and said clearly.
Zhou Zhiruo smiled indifferently: "Is it the sister Huamei of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce? My younger sister has long been famous for Xiang Feihu. However, this Hangzhou is the Hangzhou of the whole world. 30 years ago, when did the Li Family Chamber of Commerce? I got permission from the government and do business seriously, why can't I trade in Hangzhou?"
"The government is willing?" Yang Xien said angrily: "What government is willing? This is obviously Hangzhou, which is monopolized by my Li Family Chamber of Commerce!"
Zhou Zhiruo looked surprised, her cherry lips slightly opened, and she said without showing her teeth: "Oh? Is that right? But I have a charter signed by Jiang Nan governor, Lord Jiang, who licensed our Zhou Family Chamber of Commerce and owned 10% of the market share in Hangzhou. It seems that with this, we can do business legally without scruples about anyone's feelings, right?"
Li Huamei's delicate body trembled.
Although she had a premonition when the other party bought a ship and recruited sailors, she must have had a problem with the Ming Dynasty government, but she didn't expect such a big problem!
Hangzhou, the fundamental important location of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce, was taken away by 10% of its share for no reason!
Why did Ming Dynasty officials just accept her bribe and distribute Hangzhou's market share to an inexplicable and unknown Zhou family caravan?
She couldn't figure it out for the time being, but Li Huamei, who was used to the strong winds and waves, decided to deal with it calmly.
She looked carefully at the concession in Zhou Zhiruo's hand and shook her head at Yang Xien.
Yang Xien could see clearly, and Li Huamei's deep disappointment was deep in her eyes.
He said angrily: "No matter what kind of adult convention you have, you must have made a mistake! Let's go to find Lord Jiang now!"
"Please give yourself your own advice," Zhou Zhiruo said politely: "However, according to the imperial court's laws, I have the right to buy and sell here, right?"
She said to President Zhou of the Wharf Chamber of Commerce who came to hear the news.
Chapter completed!
