Daming One Piece

Chapter 83 The first step (first change, please recommend, please collect)
"What do I want?"

When a lot of money was scattered, Shi Yiwen knew very well what he wanted!
Compared with the state apparatus, any business group is vulnerable.

Even if it is the East India Company of the British Empire, so what if it owns India?
It is no use facing the will of the country.

Why is this happening?

Because the East India Company has only India!
According to Shi Yiwen's idea, once the group formally set foot in Ming society and established its foundation on land, then it can start a real overseas business.

What does the world look like in this era?
Blank.

There is no land everywhere, and those natives...are they masters?
It's just a group of "barbarians" waiting to be enslaved.

Compared with the navigators of this era, Shi Yiwen has more advanced technology, more ships, and more population——Da Ming, who is in the Little Ice Age, will provide him with a steady stream of manpower support.

Overseas business in this era does not depend on how many ships you own, but how many people you own!
Talent is the key!
Maybe more ships and more sailors can make him the king of the sea in the world-such as Holland.

But the Netherlands has never established its colonial empire, it is at best a "sea coachman".

Because he doesn't have enough people!

Enough people!
This is the most crucial and most important force.

With enough people, those strongholds established around the world for overseas trade will become cities, cities will continue to expand outward, and eventually become large colonies, colonies are connected into lines and pieces, Eventually a huge colony is formed.

With those colonies as the backing, that maritime merchant group is no longer a simple group, he is a sea power!Even Daming is useless to him, because by the time those traditional scholar-officials realized its power, they could no longer destroy it.

It is not just a maritime business group, in the end, it will transform into a never-before-seen interest group, and this interest group may even become Daming's "third force".

He is richer than the emperor and civil servants, and he also has his own force, his own population, and his own territory!He even has a large number of supporters within Daming - overseas trade interests will make Ming's businessmen become his supporters.

At that time, even if there were some voices of opposition, what's the big deal?

Whether it is the imperial power or civil servants, there is no way to shake it.

There is no power to shake it!

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to learn from and imitate the successful experience of the British East India Company, but the British have always controlled the East India Company. The East India Company conquered the East with cannons with the support of the British, but what about here?Under the leadership of Shi Yiwen, a new East India Company has grown up little by little. When it sets foot in Ming society, it will have a brand new attitude.

Of course, this is just a relatively long-term idea. To complete this plan, it will take at least ten years, even decades, or hundreds of years.But Shi Yiwen could afford to wait, not because he was young, but because from now on, from 1625 to 1644, he had at least 20 years to plan all this.

For the Ming court, whether it is the Jurchen in Liaodong now, or the bandits in the future and the famine everywhere, it is enough to make them have no energy to pay attention to the changes in the outside world.

Of course, Shi Yiwen is not a selfish person. He will never tolerate the Manchus entering the Central Plains. The important thing is that the Manchu rule will destroy everything he has planned so hard.Therefore, whether it is public or private, they must be destroyed.

But for now, no rush!
The Jiashen sky change will not come in just a few years.When I control this group of pirates and turn the pirates into my own family, I can almost deal with the Jurchens.It wasn't difficult to beat those wild boars, but it couldn't be easier to deal with them when they had gathered strength on their side.Even right now, Shi Yiwen has a sinister plan to deal with them.

On this day, the village was very lively.

Those minions who got the dividends naturally started drinking.

Wine is indeed a good thing to vent your mood.

When you're in a good mood, it's hard to drink too much.For example, tonight, Shi Yiwen drank a lot, although it was only a few degrees of rice wine, but it was even more intoxicating than white wine.

Because of this, Shi Yiwen didn't dare to drink too much, but when drinking, it was inevitable that he would talk about business, especially after learning that it only took half a day for them to arrive in Orange City, Yang Tiansheng and others Surprised, naturally also saw the amazing benefits.

"Mazu blesses, as long as our boat is faster than others, we can go to the place first, and we can sell it more than ten days earlier, and we will definitely be able to sell it at a high price..."

As soon as Yang Tiansheng finished speaking, Chen De said hastily.

"Isn't it the high price? The Spaniards in Manila have been waiting for our ship to pass. There are too few ships passing against the wind, and the risk is high. The price of the goods is naturally high. When the north wind blows, the first two ships passing by are at least higher than Other ships earn a few percent more money, now that we have this "Black Pearl", Mr. Shi, I dare say that the business of this ship will definitely be ours in the future..."

This time out to sea, Shi Yiwen learned a lot of knowledge. For example, although there is a saying in ancient China that "a ship makes eight sides of the wind", it seems that it can sail against the wind, but due to the influence of navigation technology and ocean currents, it is difficult to sail against the wind. Therefore, whether it is a merchant ship or a warship, they usually sail along the monsoon and ocean currents to avoid accidents. Of course, there are also people who specialize in trading against the wind. First, if something happens, losing money is not a big deal, but losing your life is the big deal.

Therefore, when the south wind blows, the ports in Manila and other places are in the "empty window period", and the price of goods naturally rises, but when the north wind blows, merchant ships from various ports leave the port one after another. It also came out that the first ship sold at a high price, and the price of the goods became lower and lower.

The speed is fast... it really makes money!

"We must do the business of the first ship. After all, our ship is faster than others."

Shi Yiwen nodded, put down his wine glass casually, looked at them and smiled.

"But how much money can the first boat make?"
