"What? What did you say? Are you going to form a company? What company? ”

Li Yan's face was full of astonishment, Zhu Jie's words just now scared him a little, Zhu Jie actually said that he wanted to take out three million taels of silver to form a Yanhuang commercial company, company, he had never even heard of it before, what kind of concept is this, just like the previous Yongxing Bank, he also had not heard of it, not to mention, to invest three million taels of silver in one go, what is this for?

Zhu Jie nodded and replied: "Yes, it is necessary to set up such a company, three million taels of silver, which must be enough to start......"

The corners of Li Yan's mouth twitched, a little speechless, three million taels, it's just enough to start, what is this Master Inspector going to do?

"Master Inspector, I have heard of the largest business for so many years, the only time I have heard of it is the Longtai Silk Satin Village in Jiangnan, two years ago, the Longtai Silk Satin Village took out 800,000 taels of silver in one go, swallowed more than one-third of Songjiang's cotton cloth in one go, and all of it was shipped overseas for trade.

"Three million, maybe it's not enough......"

Zhu Jie sighed and replied: "I want to set up a company responsible for overseas trade, Brother Li Yan, you don't know, now almost the entire Nanyang is under the control of one company, called the East India Company, which controls the trade between the entire Ming Dynasty and the South and Western Oceans, and a large amount of silver has been earned by this company, and now what we have to do is to compete with this East India Company through the formation of the Yanhuang Company, and if we want to gain a firm foothold in overseas trade, the biggest trouble is the safety of shipping. The wind and waves are naturally not a problem, we also need to face the pirates from Minyue to the South Seas and the Western Ocean, and now the routes of the South Seas are almost under the control of Zheng Zhilong, and the West Ocean is under the control of the East India Company and the Netherlands and England behind it, whether it is Zheng Zhilong or these Western states are bandits who eat people and do not spit out bones, the biggest trouble we face is them, if they want to complete the trade, the first thing is to form our fleet, export goods overseas, and the fleet is easy to solve, One is produced by our treasure shipyard, and the other can be purchased directly from coastal caravans and even foreigners; The second thing is to form a sailor that we can go to the sea, this is the difficulty, the warship, this is a big hole that burns money......"

Hiss......

Li Yan gasped, he didn't expect that Zhu Jie had such great ambitions, it seems that this is to compete with Zheng Zhilong and foreigners, however, training sailors is not as simple as training infantry, as Zhu Jie said, it is a bottomless pit that burns money! No amount of silver is enough to spend!

"My lord, even if we have more silver, it's not such a way to burn, right? After all, all this silver is depositors' money, and we all have to pay interest, and if we can't make a profit as soon as possible, interest alone can crush us! ”

Li Yan said urgently.

Zhu Jie smiled and said, "Crushed? How could it be! Brother Li Yan, you have to understand that these people deposit their silver in Yongxing Bank just to eat interest, and when will these interests alone be able to swallow up our massive amount of silver? Also, many of them do not withdraw interest, but deposit the interest in the bank again, in order to seek more interest, as long as the brand of Yongxing Bank is not there, as long as I Zhu Jie's signboard is still there, there is absolutely no need to worry about him falling, and there is no need to worry about someone coming to run wildly, as for whether someone wants to stumble, then someone must have such strength, there is no doubt that no matter who has more money in his hand, is there anything in the world that can surpass Yongxing Bank? At least, there is no such person or family in the Ming Dynasty......"

Zhu Jie is right, there are not a few people in the Ming Dynasty who can come up with a million taels of silver, and there must be a few who can make up millions of taels of silver, as for more than 10 million taels of silver, then just say it, at least no family can come up with so much silver, even if even their fields, real estate, and shops are counted, no one has such strength, right?

"But, my lord, a fleet of merchant ships, plus a fleet of warships, this requires a lot of silver, we still need to hire people, we also need to purchase goods, now it seems that even if it is three million taels of silver, it will not be a lot, if we purchase insufficient goods, I am afraid that it will not be enough to pay for a trip to sea......

"That's natural, as long as it's a trip to the sea, the goods we ship overseas can't be less than two million taels, one thing you may not know, our Ming Dynasty tea, porcelain, silk are the most sought-after overseas, and the profits are beyond your imagination......"

Zhu Jie said with a smile.

"But what about the silver? Now we Yongxing Bank has taken out a lot of silver, the mines in Xuzhou, the repair of the treasure shipyard, the operation of Yingtian Academy, the firearms bureau and the ordnance bureau, each of which is very large, in addition to these, we also have to supplement the military salaries of the three towns of Nanjing, whether it is the two garrisons, or the ministry of the military department, counting on them to give the three towns of Nanjing a full amount of military salaries, it is impossible, we can only supplement the ......"

Zhu Jie replied: "So, I only withdrew three million taels of silver from Yongxing Bank, and the rest of the silver will find another way!" ”

"What's the solution?"

Li Yan was stunned.

Zhu Jie smiled: "Have you forgotten the magnates in Nanjing City who survived by luck?" All of them are all wealthy and rich enough to rival the country, as long as seven or eight people can join in and make up two million taels of silver, it must not be too difficult! ”

Li Yan smiled bitterly: "My lord, do you really plan to take them to make a fortune together?" ”

"Of course, how can a manly man not be trustworthy? As long as they're willing to join in, even if it's a piece of the action? ”

Zhu Jie said with a smile.

Li Yan asked: "I'm afraid, they may not be willing, it's not what it was before, you don't have the right to fight now, it turns out that you kill people at every turn, unscrupulous, they have to bow their heads to show obedience, now, you don't have the absolute strength to suppress them, at least that's what they think, will they go with you?" ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Jie replied firmly, "Don't forget, in addition to being the King of Zhu Yan, I am also the God of Zhu Wealth, who in the world will not be able to get along with money?" The fight between me and them is nothing but a conflict of interests, and now I want to take them to earn money, and with common interests, they will naturally follow me to do a big fight! ”
