"Do you have anything else to say?"

Hou Fangyu picked up his tea cup and slowly blew the tea leaves.

At this time, as long as you have no problem with your brain, you may not open your mouth and say anything. In this state, if you really anger Lord Hou, you will be allowed to go out from here at any time.

It is a simple thing to go out here, but few people can afford the cost. If some European countries have muskets and other countries don’t have muskets, how should we get along with each other?

They knew the situation of the Ming Dynasty, but the Qing Dynasty in the north was about to sweep the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty.

However, in just over a year, the Qing Dynasty almost collapsed. Although there are still some scattered armies everywhere, they are not on the same level as the powerful Ming Dynasty.

These people are not fools. If some European countries obtained muskets and most countries did not have muskets, this scene on the land of the Ming Dynasty would likely be re-spent in Europe.

This is also the reason why leaders of various countries asked them to come to the Ming Dynasty, and they had to get muskets at all costs.

"Please say..."

"These Portuguese are really too much. They dare to question Lord Hou's statement. It would be lighter to let them go out and they should be punished."

"That's right, these guys are really too much."

Hou Fangyu watched these people perform happily.

He had already received news before that businessmen from various countries met several times before the auction, and almost sorted out the internal conflicts, just thinking about obtaining muskets at the auction at the lowest price.

Now Hou Fangyu invites the Portuguese out, which is also a warning to the monkey. Who will let you jump out? According to Hou Fangyu’s idea, no matter who comes out, you must be invited out, so that you can know who sets the rules here.

After talking for a long time, Hou Fangyu didn't speak. These people felt a little uneasy, but no one urged Hou Fangyu.

They saw clearly what the Portuguese representatives just now. If they angered Mr. Hou, maybe we would have to go out. Anyway, we came here to buy muskets. We could handle this matter today, so why are we anxious?

After Hou Fangyu finished a cup of tea, he stood up happily, just to slowly consume your patience and make you anxious to achieve success. Only when you open your mouth and open the rack will you open it higher.

All these psychological matters were taught to Hou Fangyu by Zhu Cilang, but Zhu Cilang did not expect that Hou Fangyu had absolute talent in this regard.

Zhu Cilang just said a general idea that people can apply it to this level. It has to be said that they have very strong abilities. If they were in the 21st century society, they might also be a doctor of psychology or something.

"Then we will start the auction of the first batch of goods. The first batch of goods was one thousand muskets, each musket was priced at 200 taels of silver."

Hou Fangyu said expressionlessly, and directly pushed the price to 200 taels of silver.

The people below were stunned. You should know that they made a fire gun in their country, and the cost was only thirty taels of silver. Even if your musket is more powerful, it cannot exceed nearly seven times, right?

According to their original estimate, each musket was 150 taels of silver, which was already a very high price. Who knew that Hou Fangyu had increased by one third in such a price.

Hou Fangyu proposed this price after careful consideration. Of course, considering that some countries could not bear it, the muskets were divided and auctioned. It was necessary to let some countries get one.

One thousand muskets are two million taels of silver. For all countries, they can afford this money. Of course, what price do you call at the auction? This is your business.

Hou Fangyu was not worried that these people would shout prices randomly. They would have more places to deal with the Ming Dynasty in the future. If you dare to shout prices randomly, they would be on the blacklist of our trade.

What's more, all the merchants handed in a deposit of 500,000 taels of silver.

“…”

Several representatives wanted to express their meaning, but when they thought of the Portuguese representative who had just left, they swallowed their words.

No matter the price, you can stay in the house, at least you have the qualifications to compete for it, but if you go out from here, you will be completely defeated.

"The Kingdom of England bids two million taels of silver."

The British envoy was the first to stand up.

The Kingdom of England is not the most powerful country in the world, but it is beginning to show full potential.

They were the first to propose buying muskets, and they also believed that after equipping muskets, their country's strength could be improved to a higher level, so they were the ones who could not sit still.

After defeating the Spanish Invincible Armada, the British had their own reputation in the world.

However, compared with the old and well-known European countries, the British have a relatively weak foundation. If they can have these muskets, their strength should be able to go to a higher level.

"The Spanish Empire bids two million and four million taels of silver."

During the British-Spanish War, although the Spanish Empire failed, they had enough money in their hands. In the past few decades, Spain has mastered a large amount of land and money in the world.

If we talk about comprehensive national strength, it is probably much stronger than the Ming Empire, especially in terms of money, so they don’t care much about spending money.

Although they are a little down and out now, their reserves are amazing. With these muskets, they may be able to regain their former glory, so they are most willing to carry out this way in the musket battle.

The merchants from various countries discussed before that they each had their own shares, so the Spanish merchants were very dissatisfied.

They robbed so much money from the colonies. If they were to judge the world by money, they would definitely be much stronger than other countries. However, merchants from all countries put pressure on them together, and Spanish merchants had to admit defeat.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has reopened this way of competition, it means that the alliance formed by merchants from various countries has collapsed, so Spanish merchants have pushed up 300,000 taels of silver at once.
