Chapter 151 Negotiation (Part 2)

In recent years, after establishing a city to trade, Wang Zhi's power has expanded by taking the exclusive channels to Japan, so naturally there is no possibility of sharing this route with others. Even if several maritime merchants are allowed to take this route, they will have to hand over a considerable portion of the profit.

In the seas of East Asia and Southeast Asia, Japan has been a very, very important import and export location for a long time.

Today, Qian Yuan was determined to ask Wang Zhi to hand over this channel, but Wang Zhi, who was forced into a desperate situation, just refused to respond.

Once this route was handed over, Wang Zhi felt... he was like a pig placed on the chopping board, at the slaughter of others.

Qian Yuan was a little impatient and waved his sleeves and said, "I'm an old problem. I haven't changed at all these years!"

"You insisted on rejecting those maritime merchants, which made them unable to participate in maritime trade from Ligang. As a result, they became Japanese pirates and went ashore to invade, which eventually led to the destruction of Ligang."

“How is this different from that year?”

"Why did those Fujian and Guangdong maritime merchants follow Wang Yizhi and Zhang Lian take the risk of initiating the incident? They are not interested in the route you have!"

"No matter when or where, eating alone is not a good thing!"

After a pause, Qian Yuan emphasized, "Even if you leave it to you, can you keep it?"

"If I want to rob, can you keep it?"

If Wang Zhi had not been in Japan for more than ten years, he would have been deeply rooted, and had a good deal of both sides and had a wide connection. He was afraid of attracting other maritime merchants to be wary of him, Qian Yuan would not be too lazy to talk nonsense and snatch it directly.

But Qian Yuan is bound to win this route.

And the reason is that he can't say it now.

Since the trade has been in progress, a large number of sea ships have gone to the South Ocean and sold goods to earn a lot of money. However, in addition to the exchanges between the East and the West, apart from several sea merchants with deep relationship with Qian Yuan, as well as the craftsmen and weapons that Qian Yuan bought or tied to through Wang Zhi and Mao Haifeng, he has almost stagnated.

Why?

A very important point is that Western fleets cannot reach Zhenhai.

At least now, those Westerners can only buy tea, porcelain, silk and other goods that can make them profitable through the Ming Dynasty maritime merchants.

The Ming Dynasty ships who went to Nanyang to sell goods loaded on their return journey... blankets, spices, etc. that could make them money, and Qian Yuan needed very few other exchanges between the East and the West except for business.

In this case, Qian Yuan decided that when the situation stabilized, he could try to let the Western fleet go directly to the southeast coast to trade.

The place of transaction can be selected separately, the way of transaction can be discussed, the type, quantity, scope of transactions, and the criteria for selecting Western merchants can be negotiated.

The key is that even with extremely high tariffs, Western businessmen will have super high profits that they themselves cannot believe. In this case, Qian Yuan is qualified and confident to bring something to them.

Of course, there is no doubt that Southeast Maritime Merchants will definitely have a great opinion on this. Their profit is obtained by delivering goods to the South China Sea. If Westerners can purchase goods directly on the coast, the interests of Southeast Maritime Merchants will be violated.

Qian Yuan never makes people reluctant to do things. The reason why he has such a foundation in the southeast is on the one hand due to his reputation in the southeast attack on the Japanese, on the other hand, from his status and role in establishing cities and trading, but more from the big net he woven with interests.

Therefore, in the near future, to appease Southeast Maritime Businessmen, they must give them some sweetness.

And the route to Japan is the sweetness.

After a long silence, Wang Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "What he said is... I don't let him out, I'm afraid that there will be another Wang Yizhi in the future..."

"It's not that I give up, I just let go and let other maritime merchants participate." Qian Yuan advised: "In the battle of Zhoushan, Zhang Lian, Wang Yizhi and more than ten Fujian-Guangdong maritime merchant leaders were all captured alive. Everyone in the southeast coast knows that I, Qian Longquan, stand behind you!"

"You are afraid of others only?"

"Don't you from Huizhou claim to be a town without Hui in the southeast?!"

"Besides, take this matter slowly, take it slowly, and don't worry."

"When will I give it up... Bah, let other maritime merchants participate and wait for my letter."

"Don't be depressed." Qian Yuan smiled and said, "Splitting personnel for you, drawing ships for you, and there is also a lesson in the battle in Zhoushan. Who dares to take risks again? You, Wang Wufeng, is still famous!"

Wang Zhi looked up at Qian Yuan with resentment, "Deploy the manpower, transfer the ships... listen to me or listen to you?"

Qian Yuan beat him up, "Let's talk about it then... Anyway, you and me are on the line, it's okay to tell you, the situation in Beijing is not very good now."

"This time, Mr. Qian went south to inspect the southeast coastal areas, and he received his Majesty's secret order. It is hard to say when he will return to Beijing."

"The chief assistant of the cabinet, Xu Jie, and the second assistant of the cabinet, Gao Gong, fought fiercely, not even worse than Yan Song and Xu Jie's dispute back then."

"Although Qian does not want to get involved in the struggle for the North and is willing to watch coldly, it is difficult to get out..."

"Of course, before returning to Beijing, Qian will handle everything, the first thing is to rectify the Southeast in a short period of time and make trade reopen."

Wang Zhi looked at Qian Yuan with unconcealed suspicion. Although he is Jing Haibo now, his understanding of the government is only superficial.

The most important thing is that Wang Zhi will inevitably think of the old things. When Ligang was recruiting comfort, the young man in front of him talked about the political struggle between the court without blushing and breathing, and indirectly attacked from all angles... He felt that the other party was Xu Jie's confidant and was supported by Xu Jie...

As a result, a year and a half later, the Zhang family in Huating came to him, and Wang Zhi suddenly realized that although he was a relative of his marriage, Qian Yuan was not only Xu Jie's confidant, but was a mortal enemy.

Thinking about the way Qian Yuan made money by setting up a city to trade, Wang Zhi knew deeply that the guy in front of him was a guy who was like drinking water.

After gritting his teeth and thinking, Wang Zhi was a little helpless. He listened to Fang Dun... No, Qian Rui's!

I have to go back and find another master. It just so happens that Shaoxing’s specialty is the master. Wang Zhi coughed twice, "Reorganize the Southeast and make trade open again, Wang naturally has no choice but to ask for a word... Hey, just say hello."

"Just in these few days, Qian will convene a maritime merchant in Zhenhai and ask the owner of Wufeng ship to come forward."

If you want to make maritime merchants not to shrink and to make trade smooth, you must let Wang Zhi come forward... After Wang Zhi fled to the sea that day, not only Zhenhai, Ninghai, Quanzhou and Xiamen closed trades one after another, rumors about Wang Zhi's rebellion, the official army's attack on the attack, and the imperial court's strict maritime ban were spread all over the southeast.

Everything in Zhoushan will inevitably affect Southeast Tong's business to a considerable extent. Although the official army has not officially arrived at the island, it is impossible for Zhoushan to be so tragic that it is impossible not to spread it.
