Early the next morning, Zhou Hezhi saw Wang Jiaqin come out with dark circles under his eyes, looking haggard, and couldn't help but be startled.Zhou Hezhi smiled heartily: "Mr.
Wang, Nagasaki is just a port in the Wa Kingdom, if you want to say it's fun, it's still Edo fun."
It is the capital of the Tokugawa shogunate, with a population of hundreds of thousands, no worse than Jiangnan, all kinds of taverns and brothels, and the atmosphere of the Wa Kingdom is open~" "Ahem~" Wang Jiaqin saw that he was fascinated, and he was busy coughing and interrupting his words, "No wonder, General Zhou gladly obeyed, it turns out that this Wa country is a gentle country for the general."
However, I would like to remind the general not to miss the matter of the national bus generation. ”Zhou Hezhi was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, Wang Jiaqin's tired appearance was not caused by play, he saw that Wang Jiaqin couldn't let go, so he didn't say much, but he still had a smile on his face.The development of Japanese sexual culture does not take this matter as an ugly thing, and when they come to Japan, they will encounter this kind of thing very frequently in the future.In the future, when interacting with Japanese daimyo and businessmen, there will definitely be times when it is difficult to resist hospitality, and when the time comes, it will definitely be impossible not to give face to others.Zhou Hezhi believes that it will not be long before Wang Jiaqin will get used to the customs of the Japanese Kingdom."
Has Chen Shang arrived?"
Wang Jiaqin said with a straight face.As he was talking, Chen Yonghua led a group of businessmen dressed in gorgeous costumes to the outside of the hotel.At that moment, everyone hastily ate some sushi, rice, dried radish, and flavor-enhancing soup prepared by the hotel, and then came to the backyard of the hotel.More than a dozen guards surrounded the courtyard, and everyone knelt in the courtyard, which made Wang Jiaqin feel a little uncomfortable."
Is this place safe?"
Wang Jiaqin asked.Chen Yonghua, who was sitting on the side, said: "Sir, rest assured, this hotel is actually opened by our own people, and it is very safe."
Most of the shops in Nagasaki Castle are also the property of our Akito, so don't worry. ”The goal of their coming here this time is to suppress Japan's silk weaving industry, which can be regarded as interfering in Japan's development, so it is better to be cautious.Wang Jiaqin was a little surprised by this, but when he heard him say this, he had a bottom in his heart, so he said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then I will start talking!"
”The people kneeling on both sides looked serious, and looked sideways, ready to listen.Wang Jiaqin said solemnly: "We have just arrived, and the merchant ships of the Dutch have also arrived in Nagasaki.The Dutch relied on the control of the channels, and the silk cloth produced by the Japanese as a substitute to suppress our prices, and we must destroy the Dutch holdings as soon as possible and grasp the pricing power of the sea trade. ”Several Chinese businessmen who have lived in Japan for a long time had calm faces, and one of them asked, "What does Sir need us to do, we will do our best to cooperate." ”Since the smuggling trade was cut off, there were fewer Chinese merchants in Nagasaki.Many have no business to do, so they close their doors and prepare to return to China.At this time, the arrival of Huaxing Company undoubtedly gave the idle businessmen a chance to make money, so that he had something to do.Wang Jiaqin said: "How much is the price of raw silk in Japan?"
How much does cloth cost. ”Chen Yonghua said: "Sir, the price of raw silk is sixty taels per quintal.According to the color, dyeing and pattern, the price of silk ranges from one tael to a dozen taels.The craftsmanship of the Wa Kingdom is not as good as ours, and we can only produce some ordinary silk, and the price is mostly below three taels. ”In the past, most of Japan's raw silk was imported from China, but later Japan's domestic silk weaving industry began to develop and began to produce its own.During the Meiji Restoration, in order to obtain silver money, Japan developed its industry, further focused on the export of raw silk and tea, and gradually surpassed the production of raw silk in the Manchu Dynasty, and the tea industry also fully adopted mechanization, gradually becoming the world's second largest exporter of raw silk and the fifth largest exporter of tea.By the early stage of World War I, Japan was already the world's largest exporter of raw silk, with a total annual output of 12,460 tons of raw silk and a total export of 9,462 tons, accounting for 75% of the world's total exports.Wang Jiaqin bowed slightly, and then immediately ordered: "The Dutch come to the Japanese country to buy silk, you immediately start buying raw silk now, and then load it back to Taiwan, the price of raw silk increases, the Japanese workshop will inevitably increase the price of cloth, see if the Dutch accept it!"
”Everyone glanced at each other, and a businessman asked: "Mr.
Wang, the price of raw silk in the Wa Kingdom is already higher than that of Daming, and we will increase the price here to buy it, and then ship it back to Daming, won't Huaxing Company lose a huge loss?"
”Wang Jiaqin said in a deep voice: "This is not something you are worried about, you just have to buy, how much you receive, Huaxing Company can give 20% higher than your purchase price, and eat the raw silk you bought." ”When several businessmen saw him say this, they had no opinions, and nodded one after another: "Since this is the case, then I will do our best to buy it." ”China is adjacent to Japan, and a large number of businessmen have come to Japan to do business, and they have had certain channels and relationships over the years.After Wang Jiaping's order, the Chinese merchants in Nagasaki began to take action, using their network to start buying raw silk, and the price of raw silk soon rose from 60 taels per quintal to 80 taels, then to 100 taels, and it continues to rise.Soon, the first batch of ten Fukubunes that came to Japan left Japan laden with raw silk after selling their goods, and at the same time, the second batch of Fukubunes arrived in Nagasaki with goods and silver.When the merchant saw the silver ship of Huaxing Company, he immediately lost his mind, and continued to vigorously collect enough, pushing the price of raw silk to one hundred and twenty taels.At this time, with the rise in the price of raw silk, the Japanese people and gate valves began to increase the production of raw silk, but still could not make the price of raw silk come down.Nagasaki, the Dutch trading company, the Dutch merchant who came to buy the cloth, shouted angrily, "Damn the Japanese monkey, such inferior cloth, actually asked for six taels of silver."
This price is enough for the company to purchase three horses in China. ”"Your Excellency, I heard that Huaxing Company has purchased raw silk in Japan on a large scale, and has inflated the price of raw silk and cloth in Japan.This is obviously the Chinese forcing the company to give up purchasing cloth from Japan and buy their things!
”A young businessman said in a deep voice.The Dutch had been trading at sea for many years, and they knew about these commercial battles, and they understood the intentions of Huaxing Company after a little thought.The businessman at the head showed a sneer on his face, "Huaxing Company is really naïve, we don't have to do this business, I want to see how much raw silk they can eat, and when they can't hold on, the raw silk accumulates, and then they can only sell it to us at a lower price." ”The Dutch mastered the channels and did not produce, but only resold the goods, did not buy the goods, and did not lose much, while Huaxing Company ate a lot of raw silk in a row, produced cloth, but there was a cost to sell it.
