Cheng Bi had been engaged in maritime trade for Donghai Town, but with the ban on the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the shrinkage of trade, he had nothing to do.Although Zhao Ming opened some handicraft workshops in Taiwan, Zhoushan and other places to produce leather, cloth and other goods, and wanted to resume trade, the results were not great.In addition, Tokai Town was still at war with the Spaniards, and the route was disrupted by the Spaniards, and trade fell into further decline.After the Industrial Revolution, one of the most urgent things in the West was to open up the market and find a market for its own products, but at this time China did not have this melancholy, and all parties sought to buy Chinese raw silk, cloth, tea, porcelain and other products.This is actually a huge advantage, which can bring China a huge trade surplus, bringing a lot of silver and wealth.Although the influx of silver will cause inflation, in fact, as long as the silver is spent, raw materials are purchased from overseas, and domestic materials are enriched, to a certain extent, inflation can be solved, goods can be enriched, and after mastering enough silver, a set of world currencies based on silver can be established.The main problem of China's trade with overseas countries is that it does not have the ability to go to the sea, and silver can only enter but not leave, and it does not spend the silver it earns to buy cheap overseas production materials and purchase industries, thus missing the great opportunity.Zhao Ming wanted to set up an industry, not on a whim, but made some considerations.At the turn of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was the time when the whole of China's foreign trade turned from prosperity to decline.The wars devastated the economy of the Jiangnan region, and the Manchu ban on the sea disrupted trade, raising the cost of obtaining Chinese goods for maritime merchants.In this case, China's foreign trade has shrunk severely, before Japan imported a large number of Chinese raw silk and cloth, and now, Japan's domestic silk and silk weaving production began to develop, gradually forming a scale, so that Japan gradually reduced its dependence on Chinese raw silk and cloth.Hundreds of years later, the Meiji Restoration in Japan and the breakthrough in industrialization were the raw silk and textile industries.Almost at the turn of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the British enclosure movement gradually reached its climax, the cotton spinning industry developed rapidly, and quickly squeezed the Chinese market, and finally dumped goods into China.The Industrial Revolution began around 1750, just over a hundred years after today.The outbreak of the industrial revolution is not something that can break out with a machine, but only after the development of the commodity economy, market and society has reached a certain level, under the pressure of production and the desire for capital expansion.By the end of the Qing Dynasty, China imported 50 million taels of cotton textiles from Britain alone, which was about the same amount as opium imports.Zhao Ming didn't know this, but he knew that the industrial revolution started with the textile industry, so he decided to maintain this advantage, and keep the traditional market in China, and suppress the development of Western capital, limit their industrial upgrading, suppress their primitive accumulation, and fix their industry in the supply of raw materials.Zhao Ming listened to Cheng Bi's words, frowned slightly, and immediately waved his hand: "This time we have obtained a lot of silver, and we can't spend it for a while, so it is better to set up a company and establish a textile workshop."
On the one hand, we summoned hired workers to resume production, and on the other hand, we went to the Japanese to buy raw silk and other raw materials, raised the price of raw silk, increased the cost of the Japanese workshops, dumped cloth on the Japanese countries, destroyed their workshops, and maintained the market for living in the Japanese countries. ”The voyages of the Western powers have been vigorously carried out for more than 100 years, and various countries have embarked on the road of colonial expansion and are about to stand on the top of the world.In addition to the national plot, in the final analysis, it was because of the dark and servile rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which made China lose hundreds of years and fall into the abyss from the world's first-class power.His ostensible goal was to defeat the Manchus, but his deeper intention was to steal the jobs of the British Empire and restrict the West in international trade.In addition, the textile industry is strong, and it can also carry out a certain amount of technological accumulation, and finally through the technological innovation of the textile industry, it will be transmitted to other industries and set off an industrial revolution.After listening to Zhao Ming's words, everyone had some doubts, the vast majority of Chinese people have money, and they like to bury the silver or buy acres of land, rather than investing in business.When a few people heard that Zhao Ming was going to buy raw silk at a high price, and he was going to bring down the workshop of the Japanese Kingdom, they couldn't help but be in a fog, and the Japanese people didn't provoke you, why did you go to engage others if you had nothing to do, and there were some doubts in their hearts, Wu Zhaosheng asked: "Guogong, can you really make money like this?"
”Zhao Ming nodded, "The textile industry is the traditional advantage of the Ming industry, and the market is vast, not only the internal demand is strong, East Asian countries and Western countries also like the products of the Ming Dynasty very much, and at this time the concept of trade protection is not strong, countries not only will not set up barriers, to hinder the Ming goods into the market, but come all the way to buy."
None of this is what I said, you can also see that those red-haired ghosts have come from far and wide to think about our things.Again, if you don't believe me, believe the money.The silver we copied from Fuzhou is all real money, and it can't be faked at all!
”The southeast coast is the region where China has the most contact with the outside world, and it is also the most commercially developed area, and people have some understanding of maritime trade.At the moment, Zhao Ming was a fantasy again, and instilled a lot of things in everyone, like a pyramid scheme, telling a few people about the great cause they were going to carry out, and everyone was red-faced, and they all expressed their willingness to join Zhao Ming's leather bag company.However, at this time, everyone only reached an intention, for the company's composition and organizational structure, as well as how to operate, still need to be discussed, and need to use the power of Zhejiang to find Zhejiang textile industry and maritime trade talents, to join the company.A few months ago, Zhao Ming had already set up a leather bag company, and this time Zhao Ming did not plan to set it up again, so he was ready to directly reorganize and inject capital into the Europa Company to make it the same existence as the East India Company.In later experience, the government directly opened workshops, most of which would be set up as yamen, making the company uncompetitive, so Zhao Ming directly jumped over the government-run and other models, and adopted the way of hiring managers to manage the company, and the managers' salaries were completely linked to the company's efficiency.After discussing with everyone for a while, Zhao Ming entrusted Cheng Bi to draft a charter to conduct a detailed analysis and system construction of the company's structure, shareholders' equity, and shareholding ratio.At this time, Ding Weiyue walked in with an excited face, and hurriedly reported: "Guogong, good news, the Spaniards in the chicken coop have surrendered!"
”Zhao Ming's face was overjoyed, he stood up, and couldn't help but sigh, "This group of grandsons can really carry it, and they actually insisted on surrendering until now." ”When the generals of the Zhejiang army heard this, their faces were a little shocked, Grandpa Guo was really powerful, it turned out that when the decisive battle with the Qing soldiers was held, Donghai Town was still at war with Xiyi.What kind of strength is this, everyone admired Zhao Ming and looked up to his majestic body.
