Chapter 1228: Butterfly Effect
"What! Say it again!" Cohen seemed to feel something was wrong with his ears.
He seemed to have heard of the official fleet of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
No, isn't it Spanish?
"It was His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent this fleet. They said they also brought His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty's national letter, which did not look like they were here to fight." The major spoke at a very fast speed, and finally accompanied his own judgment.
"Ming Dynasty? His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? He also sent a letter of state?"
This time Cohen was a little numb because he couldn't figure out what was going on.
It seems that the situation is not right. When will the Ming Dynasty officials pay attention to us? And even their Emperor His Majesty wrote a letter to himself.
I have to say that Cohen was a little excited at this time. Didn’t he see that even the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty knew about Cohen’s name, and he also wrote a letter to himself.
Looking at the many forces in Southeast Asia, who can get this treatment? No, then I am the only one.
Although Cohen is a relatively calm person, it is still a bit inexplicable to get the letter of the emperor of the most powerful empire in the East.
After all, this is His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty.
If you don’t hang out in Nanyang, you don’t know how powerful the Ming Dynasty is.
This most powerful empire in the East is very mysterious, but he didn't want to communicate with people like him, so it would be difficult for them to open up the official channels of the Ming Dynasty in the Netherlands.
Now the Ming Dynasty officials have taken the initiative to contact themselves, what does this mean?
Could it be that the official policies of the Ming Dynasty have changed and they are willing to date themselves?
Cohen gradually began to feel excited because the signal released by the Ming Dynasty this time was so exciting.
The Ming Dynasty's goods were very high-quality, and many of them were not produced by the Netherlands, and they were also popular in Europe. If the Netherlands could take the lead in interacting with the Ming Dynasty, then we would inevitably take the initiative in the subsequent trade.
Take the initiative, you have to know that this is a trade with the Ming Dynasty officials.
This is not the kind of small-scale quarrels that were used to make money from the Ming Dynasty. Only those profiteers from the Ming Dynasty could buy high-priced goods within the Ming Dynasty.
Just like this snow sugar, it is so white and so fresh and sweet, even sweeter than honey.
In Europa, it is a necessity for the upper nobles. However, only the Ming Dynasty was produced in this world. Cohen needed to pay too much money to get these goods.
Cohen understood why snow sugar is so expensive. In fact, he had also inquired about the price of this place where snow sugar was produced. Daming measured only 20 Dutch guilds per catty, but it turned into 100 Dutch guilds in his hands, which was five times more.
Wuhe is all the damn profitable merchants. The middlemen make the difference, and they make profits layer by layer. In the end, it is five times more expensive in his hands. And even if it is five times, there is a quota limit.
Damn, damn, do these Ming Dynasty profiteers know what they did? They delayed their own money! This snow sugar can be sold for 300 Dutch guilds when shipped to the Netherlands!
That's right, middlemen make the difference, can't I, Cohen, make a profit?
Just two taels of silver per kilogram of snow sugar from the factory, if you ship it to Europe, you need to buy it at a price of more than thirty taels of silver.
However, if Cohen can interact with the Ming Dynasty, he can propose to the Ming Dynasty the right to purchase commodities and increase the quota.
Think about the 20 Dutch guilds factory, and then the 300 Dutch guilds from Europa, and the difference between the price Cohen is going to drool.
And this is just a product of snow sugar. There are so many products that Europa needs in the Ming Dynasty.
God bless yourself to get rich!
Cohen's unhappiness just now disappeared on his face.
He reached out and patted the Major on the shoulder, and asked in that soft voice.
"My dear Albert, you probably didn't anger our Ming friends."
The major looked up and looked at Cohen, and from his eyes the major saw what he meant.
If you dare to anger our Ming friends, you can think about the consequences, will a shattered corpse bitten by fish appear on the sea tomorrow?
The Major did not doubt Cohen's warning at all, because he had seen too many. This Governor was really a cruel person. It would be fine if you didn't violate his interests. If you dare to ruin their good deeds, then your life would definitely be over.
The major shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, I think God promises that I am absolutely not so wise!"
"So Major, where are those wise men now?" Cohen smiled.
"Just at the dock, I swear they are waiting for your arrival at the dock." The Major held up four fingers and made a swearing.
"Okay major, you're doing well. So, look at my clothes. Can you go to see our Ming friends?" Cohen took back his hand, then tidied up his clothes and asked kindly.
"It's very neat. I swear to God that my friends in the Ming Dynasty will never find any fault!" The major nodded solemnly again.
The major was sweating in a cold sweat, but he knew that what the governor hated the most was that others said that his clothes were not neat.
Cohen assembled his guards to welcome the team from the Ming Dynasty with high standards.
Li Xin and Zheng Zhilong are waiting.
In fact, before they came, they received an instructor from the capital. Zhu Youxiao personally explained to Li Xin that this person named Cohen was difficult to deal with and was a very capable person.
In fact, when Zhu Youxiao was also a little surprised when he learned that the governor of the Dutch East India Company was actually Cohen.
Because Cohen should be a dead person, he should have been dysentery in the ninth year of the Apocalypse, but now he is miraculously alive and has always been in the position of governor of the Dutch East India Company.
This made him feel very strange, after all, a damn person was not dead.
But if you think deeply, it seems that it is not that impossible. The butterfly effect may be the butterfly effect caused by his own time travel that has allowed Cohen to live to this day.
However, this seems to be the reason. It is precisely because of Zhu Youxiao that Cohen's fate changed. At that time, Cohen did contract dysentery in Batavia, but he recovered later.
Guess who cured Cohen's dysentery.
That's right, this matter is related to Zhu Youxiao. He brought the magic medicine of the Ming Dynasty to cure his dysentery.
It’s also a big mistake for Zhu Youxiao to be crazy at that time. He sold a batch of anti-inflammatory and sterilization drugs at a sky-high price, and this anti-inflammatory drug was transferred to Cohen.
