Chapter Thirteen I'm Happy
Di Xiang suddenly realized: "Your Majesty is known as the God of Wealth. In the past twenty years, those who follow Your Majesty have made a fortune. With Your Majesty's endorsement, there are naturally many people who are willing to do it."
Zhou Yun asked Xiaoxiao.
Di Xiang complained: I have never seen you laugh like this before.
Zhou Yunrang didn't know Di Xiang's complaints, and he said, "This is a very good foundation. With this concept, it's much easier for us to convince them.
Our businessmen in Daxia may not look down on it, because Daxia has too many investment opportunities, and they may not be interested in places far away from the ends of the world, but it doesn’t matter, because the businessmen in Dasong are interested!"
Di Xiang changed his color: "Don't fight, don't talk nonsense. If someone knows this, if someone stabs it, you will surrender to the enemy!"
Zhou Yunrang shook his head: "You listen to me first."
Di Xiang shut his mouth.
Zhou Yunrang continued: "Now the Song Dynasty is in a depressed state, and there are countless businesses and companies that have gone bankrupt. The Song Dynasty is already full of sorrow and its economy is in a depressed state. His Majesty calls it an economic crisis, also known as the Great Depression.
But don’t look at the great Song Dynasty, the great merchants in the Song Dynasty were not without money. They had a lot of money, but because they were blocked by us, they could not get out, so they could only struggle within the Song Dynasty.
If we let them go and give them a way out, let them build factories to do business in Jiaozhi, or Qiongzhou, or even in Ryukyu, do you think they would like to do it?"
Although Di Xiang was a soldier, he had been influenced by him for a long time and had some of his own opinions. He thought for a while and said, "I must be willing, and I am very willing, because they have no choice anymore.
As for the current situation of the Song Dynasty, no one knows how long the so-called Great Depression will last. Although these big merchants are rich, if they can't get out, no matter how rich they are, they will have to go in.
Especially the sea merchants on Liangzhe Road, they originally relied on the sea to make a living, but now the ocean cannot come down, and the land is in a mess. If the Daxia Dynasty is willing to give them a chance, they will definitely be willing."
Zhou Yunrang nodded: "Okay, now when it comes to colluding with the enemy, our Daxia always refuses the surrendered people, and our propaganda also says that this is a war of unity within the Chinese nation.
Therefore, whether it is the Song people, Xia people, or even Liao people, they are actually descendants of Yan and Huang. As long as they are willing to vote, they are not enemies.
Didn’t our Majesty say that Daxia welcomes you, are you from Daxia when you come?
So, if we can hook up the Song Shang, then we will not only be a collusion enemy, but also a hero who persuades the Song people to surrender. What do you think?"
Di Xiang slapped his thigh: "Ha, that's true!"
Zhou Yunrang smiled: "But for such a big thing, we naturally have to ask His Majesty for instructions."
Di Xiangxiu said happily: "With those suckers, our big thing will be done."
Zhou Yunrang shook his head and said, "They are not suckers, they will make a fortune."
Di Xiang was stunned: "It's very profitable?"
Zhou Yunrang nodded: "The climate in Jiaozhi is stuffy, so rice can be grown for three seasons. The planting level of people here is not high, but if the Song people or Xia people are heavy, the yield may increase greatly. By then, just selling rice will probably be enough for them to make a fortune.
Not only that, there are many kinds of fruits here, and it is not easy to preserve fruits. It was difficult to transport them to the Central Plains before, but it was actually not easy. We could only send some to the Central Plains by using an ice room, but the price was very expensive.
But it is said that the steam engine can be pretended to be on a sea boat. It is said that the steam engine does not rely on wind power and travels thousands of miles a day. At that time, it can transport all fruits and vegetables to the Central Plains. What a great profit!
However, they may not necessarily value these things. They are more likely to just take this opportunity to separate from the Song Dynasty. As long as they leave the Song Dynasty, they can continue to do their maritime trade business. This is what they value."
Di Xiang scratched his head: "Isn't this going to compete with the Nanyang Group?"
Zhou Yunrang smiled and said, "There are too many businesses that can be done on the sea, so I'm not afraid of them joining.
Moreover, Your Majesty often says that those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan a territory, and those who do not plan for the whole world are not enough to plan for a while.
Being able to gain the support of the merchants of the Song Dynasty is to promote unity. Compared with this overall situation, the remaining small interests can be given up."
Di Xiang laughed and scolded, "Isn't it just that I advised you before? Now I'll fight back. You guys, you're so cautious!"
Zhou Yunrang sneered.
The tasks assigned to him by Ouyang Bian were difficult, but they were also very challenging. He saw many opportunities in it, especially for his intention to build Ryukyu.
This time the task is very big, and the manpower and material resources are mobilized very large. It is precisely because of the large scale that he can take the opportunity to do something.
It’s not that he wants to embezzle and accept bribes, but that he can allocate some of his resources to Ryukyu. As a transit station connecting Daxia and Jiaozhi, Ryukyu will inevitably grow into a giant in the process of capturing Annan and building Annan.
As long as the war in Annan occurs, Ryukyu will naturally become a transit station, a large number of ships will replenish food and water here, and will also conduct transactions here. The merchants of the Song Dynasty can also settle here and use this as a window for their foreign trade to escape the control of the Song Dynasty.
In this way, Ryukyu will gather wealth from all directions, and in time, it will become the most dazzling pearl in the South China Sea!
It was precisely because of this that Zhou Yunrang was so happy today that it was very unusual and made Di Xiang feel strange.
“Finance?”
When Ouyang Bian heard Zhou Yunrang's words, he was stunned and then laughed out loud.
I used to hear that several young people from Oceanwide Group were very outstanding, so I just smiled and didn't expect that their thinking was so active.
Although this may be a reference to my previous business operation techniques, it is also very powerful to be able to combine war and financing.
The key is that Zhou Yunrang's head was so big that he wanted to bring the merchants of the Song Dynasty to this project together... Well, let's call it a project for the time being, and he actually wanted to bring them into this project. This kind of fantasy idea is really jaw-dropping.
That's a businessman from an enemy country. If it were ordinary officials, who wouldn't avoid people from an enemy country? And Zhou Yunrang actually dared to report this matter to him in a noble way?
However, I appreciate it very much.
Ouyang Bian said in his heart.
