"I've met Master Wu..."

Seeing these Western merchants kneeling down to salute, Wu Nancheng had a hint of pride on his face. When these people met the emperor who was still the crown prince, they were going to be foolish, thinking that they would not kneel down and bow.

Now let alone our long live our lives, even an ordinary official in Nanjing city, you people must kneel down honestly.

Of course, some things are not what we ask them for, they learn it themselves. According to some trade rules of the emperor today, these people are increasingly feeling that business is not easy to do.

In the past, they had the initiative. Now, let alone the initiative, they were already happy to sing the goods to be given, so they began to take the initiative to change some of their behaviors, including kneeling down, which changed during this period.

"Everyone gets up. I have found something to discuss with you today. Everyone should go to the house."

Although he was begging them to do things, Wu Nancheng still had a sense of arrogance on his face.

This was also what Lord Hou Fangyu told him. When facing these Westerners, he would never give them a good face, so that these people could know the ability of our Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Ciyang has been using hunger sales these days. At the beginning, many people disagree, including these Western merchants. However, after they understood Zhu Ciyang's spirit, they found that this matter was indeed beneficial to them.

There were fewer goods on Zhu Cixuan's side, and even less goods they transported back to Europe. Zhu Cixuan's side increased the price by three times, and they dared to ask for five times when they returned. In terms of hunger sales, everyone except the rich people in Europe were profitable.

Franchise merchants...

Refined salt...

At this moment, what was before them was some snow-white salt, and sparks were almost emerging in their eyes. Naturally, they knew how powerful the business opportunities contained in them were.

There are many nobles in Europe, and some are money. If they see such things, they will definitely spend a lot of money to buy them.

But Lord Wunancheng also said that it must be a franchise merchant from the court, not whatever you want. Even if you have more money, if you are not a franchise merchant from the court, you are not qualified to buy refined salt from the court.

You can only spend more money to buy from the franchise merchant, which means you will have more than one move and you will have much less of your own interests.

"Mr. Wu, how can we become a franchise merchant in the court? Are we qualified?"

A Spanish businessman said anxiously that Spain is still a great empire in the world, so when they were doing business with the Ming Dynasty, these people still had various prides, so they lost a lot of opportunities.

Zhu Cilang is not used to these Spanish people. As long as the price is higher, who will be our contract contract. English merchants are much better than them.

Therefore, among all the Western merchants, English merchants have firmly occupied the first place, but in the past six months, Spanish merchants have also recovered and have begun to push forward, so the first position is still shaking.

"The first one is a margin of 50,000 silver..."

If Zhu Cixuan had said this when he just occupied Nanjing, these people would probably have sneered, but now when they heard Wu Nancheng say a 50,000 figure, they were relieved.

In recent years, we are not fools. We are not fools. We can’t get around when trading deposits with the Ming Dynasty. We have to pay deposits no matter what kind of thing it is.

Although it will be returned after a while, people will use your money and there is no interest. The businessmen in Xi'an also understand this truth. But people have to bow their heads under the roof. Who dares to disobey the decision of the Ming court?

Seeing that these people had no objection, Wu Nancheng felt a little disappointed. He had some words waiting for them. Who knew that these people had learned their lessons and they would pay as much as the court would ask for, as long as they could be given a qualification.

The reason for the current situation is that some people suffer too much. At the beginning, Zhu Cilang announced the deposit. Some people are unwilling to pay the deposit and always think about buying some goods from others.

Their idea is also good, at least they don’t have to hand over the tens of thousands of silver. However, after more than a year of transactions, they found that the money spent on buying goods from other merchants was far more than the tens of thousands of silver.

So no matter how much deposit the court has raised, these people will be honestly handed over to get first-hand goods.

Everyone was looking forward to Wunan City saying the second condition. Under the attention of everyone, Wunan City also said the second condition.

"Your merchant ships must be borrowed for two months under the order of the court. If there is any loss in between, the court will be responsible for compensation. As for whether to compensate silver or goods, it is up to you to decide. I don't know, of course, the court will pay you a certain amount of compensation in these two months."

When Wu Nancheng said this, the people present were not in a hurry to express their opinions, because such a thing had not happened before. They drove from Europe on merchant ships and spent most of their time at Nanjing and several trading terminals.

If the court only borrowed it for two months, it would not be a loss for them. Anyway, they were idle here in normal times, so the court now rented their ships.

"Mr. Wu, let me ask you another presumptuous question, is this remuneration a franchise merchant?"

A French businessman said boldly that Wu Nancheng just said that he would pay the reward, but he did not say what the reward was. Everyone was thinking about the salt franchise merchant.

"The remuneration is not a franchise merchant, it just gives you a qualification. If the court's affairs are completed intact within these two months, then the franchise merchant will be approved and can purchase 1,000 kilograms of salt from the court at our domestic prices every year."

After Wu Nancheng said it, these people also took it for granted. If you just lend the boat and give you a franchise merchant, it would be too easy. This is not in line with the usual tradition of doing things in the Ming Dynasty.
