On the top floor of Wanghai Tower in Tianjin, an extremely important chamber of commerce is being held at this moment. The attendees are all the owners of major business houses in the Ming Dynasty or famous dignitaries.
Like the two brothers Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo, Li Chunyang, the boss of Sihai Trading Company, Zhu Benduan and Feng Xiang of Huishang Trading Company, Hu Xian and Zhang Yuan from Jiangnan, etc.
Many people found it inconvenient to come in person, so they also sent their sons or confidants to attend this chamber of commerce, because this was a chamber of commerce of extremely high standards.
Those who can come to participate in the meeting are all dignitaries, businessmen, and big families who have extremely huge influence in the entire Ming Dynasty. They almost include the power of the Ming Dynasty, including the court and the local government.
And this time is a little different from the past. In the past, such top-level chambers of commerce were usually held by northern trading firms, and the participants were usually northern trading firms, etc.
But this time, the people who organized this high-profile chamber of commerce were Zhu Benduan and Feng Xiang from the Huishang Trading Company in the south, as well as Hu Xian and Zhang Yuan from the Jiangnan family.
It was they who took the initiative to send invitations to everyone, created this top chamber of commerce, and invited everyone to come to the meeting to discuss important matters.
Everyone was chatting quietly with each other while tasting the food.
"Brother, do you think there is something wrong with these southerners suddenly calling everyone over?"
Zhang Heling ate the delicacies with big mouthfuls. He was very ungraceful, as if he was a poor man from the bottom of the family. He had never tasted the delicacies in Wanghailou. While eating, he asked Zhang Yanling beside him.
"Please pay attention to your image~"
Zhang Yanling looked at his brother and felt helpless.
??Can you please pay attention to your image? Our family is now one of the top families in the Ming Dynasty. We have plenty of money but no food. Why should we look like a starving ghost reincarnated?
¡°I just think it¡¯s a waste if you don¡¯t eat it. It¡¯s such a waste.¡±
Zhang Heling slowly stopped helplessly and curled his lips.
"I guess these southerners must have some ideas. I heard that Taiping Marquis Du Mingen's fleet has returned and arrived in Songhu a few days ago, so they southerners were the first to hear the news. "
"I heard that Du Mingen's fleet sailed thousands of miles to the West this time, and visited hundreds of countries. It reached as far as the east coast of Africa, and visited the Middle East, Persia, Tianzhu, and Ceylon."
"Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is Du Mingen's Western expedition. Hundreds of large ships returned with full loads, bringing back countless gold and silver jewelry, emeralds, ivory agates, and precious medicinal materials. It is said that if appraised, the value may be more than Thirty million silver.¡±
"Tianjin Ocean Trading Company made big profits again this time!"
When Zhang Yanling said this, he couldn't help but get jealous. His eyes were really red. Tianjin Ocean Trading House is really good at making money. No matter what it does, Tianjin Ocean Trading House is very profitable, and everyone just follows. They just make money from behind.
"Another thirty million taels of silver~"
When Zhang Heling heard this, he couldn't help being stunned, and then said with red eyes: "Brother, let's also set up a ship to go to the West. One trip a year is enough."
"Do you think you are the only one who is smart enough to organize a fleet to go to the West?"
"There have long been people doing business along Du Min'en's route to Western countries, including jade from Burma, gems from Ceylon, and gold and silver from Tianzhu."
"There are too many people now. Once a shipment of goods arrives in Nanyang, you can now earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Moreover, there are too many people and the competition is fierce. Life is not as easy as before."
"So everyone is heading to the West. Zhang Mao and Liu Jin are sweeping across the Nanyang region. In the future, Nanyang may slowly become the place of the Ming Dynasty, and it will be even harder to do business here. .¡±
Zhang Yanling still has a brain and sees many things accurately.
"What should we do?"
"Wouldn't it be possible to drink the northwest wind from now on?"
When Zhang Heling heard this, he immediately said anxiously.
¡°¡I¡¯ve told you so straightforwardly, and you still don¡¯t understand?¡±
"Keep going west, keep going west. The West has just begun. This is a land of gold. If it can be like Africa and Europe, it will be more profitable. Didn't Liu Jin say that porcelain and silk can be used in Europe? It¡¯s equal to gold.¡±
Zhang Yanling sighed helplessly, his younger brother really left people speechless.
? ??Study one and learn two cows? "
"This easily conquered a country and made them pay huge amounts of wealth. The world is very big, and there are many, many countries. Not to mention other things, just here in the West, there are countless countries, large and small. .¡±
"Didn't we talk about private armed forces when we were chatting with Liu Jin in Songhu a few months ago? With everyone's joint efforts, the imperial court has allowed us trading houses to have small-scale overseas armed forces."
"This time, I called everyone here, naturally to unite with everyone. We can also learn from Tianjin Ocean Trading Company."
¡°They can conquer countries one after another, why can¡¯t we?¡±
"Jade from Burma, gems from Ceylon, gold and silver from Tianzhu, and gold and silver from the Middle East and Persia. Now we have to exchange them with commodities. If we can defeat them and conquer them, in the future There¡¯s no need to change it, just let them pay us tribute every year.¡±
Hu Xian looked at the people around him and finally stated the purpose of holding this chamber of commerce today. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
