Although Fan Dimen can also make some interpretations of the many advanced measures adopted by Haihan in politics, economy and trade according to the actual situation, more often than not, he strongly feels that he cannot keep up with the rhythm of Haihan. When he was still trying to speculate about the means and purpose of Haihan's use of newspapers, he had already taken this step and had already gone far ahead. With these speculations and predictions just made, maybe Haihan has already completed some of them in the process of implementation, and even if all of them are expected, it will be difficult for Haihan to have an impact.

Of course, Van Dimen also understood that Su Keyi's purpose in showing himself these commercial newspapers was not to undermine his confidence, but to make himself aware that these newspapers were not only a sharp weapon in the hands of Haihan, but also could be used by the East India Company.

This kind of advertising in the commercial newspaper is all kinds and all-encompassing, and it is obvious that its scrutiny is far less rigorous than that of the Times, and basically as long as you are willing to spend money, you can publish commercial information in the newspaper, which is indeed a pretty good propaganda platform for the East India Company, which is difficult to promote itself to the Ming Dynasty in Batavia.

The handicrafts from Europe and the Middle East that Dutch merchants shipped to Batavia still have a certain market in the Far East, and they are not replaced by the mass-produced industrial products of Haihan, but Batavia is too far away from the largest market of Daming, and the friction between the two sides has been continuous, and the trade has not been smooth. After Haihan took control of the Fujian Strait, the East India Company's trade agencies deployed in Dayuan basically lost their role, and life was even more difficult. If it weren't for this, Fan Dimen probably wouldn't have agreed to join the South China Sea Trade Alliance led by Haihan so easily, and in the final analysis, he was still trying to continue his business.

If the goods hoarded in Batavia are transported to Sanya, and then advertised in the commercial newspapers of Haihan, there will still be businessmen who know the goods to place orders for purchases, so that the operation is slow, and perhaps the goods from the West can gradually enter the Ming market again. In addition, the East India Company could also publish the purchase information in the newspaper for all kinds of goods that the East India Company wanted to buy from Daming, so that there might be suppliers who came to the door on their own.

In just a moment, Fan Dimen had already thought of several ways to use this business newspaper to make profits, and while he was happy, he also felt that Haihan's methods were good. If someone in the early years of the East India Company had come up with such a solution, perhaps the trade situation with the Ming would have been different, right?

However, Van Dimen immediately reversed his own idea, and the fact that Haihan was able to use this method to influence and regulate trade in the market was based on his existing political influence, military security, trade scale, and cultural foundation with the same ancestors as the Ming Dynasty, which were almost all shortcomings of the East India Company, and even if he could barely produce such a newspaper, it was unlikely to achieve the same results. Moreover, Haihan's banks had offices in the major ports and cities of Fuguang and Guangzhou, so that merchants who traded between the two countries were basically freed from the use of gold and silver currency, a convenience that no other country could provide.

Although banks are no strangers to Fandimin from Europe, the Venetians have established banks as early as the 12th century to engage in financial business, but after visiting the operation of the Haihan Bank in Sanya, he has to admit that the operation level and business scope of the Haihan people are far superior to their European counterparts, and if they want to introduce Western banking institutions into the areas controlled by the Haihan to operate, it is tantamount to self-inflicted humiliation, and it is likely to be played down by the more sophisticated Haihan people using financial means.

If you want to establish trade relations with the Ming Dynasty, you must bypass the barrier of Haihan, and you must use the commercial publicity platform, financial settlement means and entrepot trade port provided by Haihan. The combination of these conditions is undoubtedly a big hole that cannot be climbed out of if you jump in, but if the East India Company wants to break the previous trade barrier, it really has to jump.

From a rational point of view, Van Diemen also knew that if the East India Company jumped in, it would certainly make some profits, but more importantly, it would fulfill Haihan and add another commercial channel to its control. But if it does not jump in, the East India Company's market share and influence in the Far East will continue to be reduced, especially after the establishment of the South China Sea Trade Alliance, and if it is excluded, it will basically be equivalent to losing most of the market in the Far East.

There was also a factor that forced Van Diemen to make a choice, and that was rival the Portuguese. The Portuguese, who saw the wind and steered the rudder, had reached a cooperation agreement with the Haihan as early as 1628, and their position in the Haihan trading system was also something that the current East India Company could not catch up with. Because of this, the Portuguese also received a lot of commercial resources from the Ming and Haihan, and in recent years the volume of trade has surpassed that of the East India Company, whose trade situation has been declining year by year, and ranks first among European countries entering the Far East.

Portugal, supported by the Haihan, not only opened up the situation in terms of trade, but also the Haihan apparently secretly provided military support to it. As far as Van Dimen knows, Portugal's armed level in the Strait of Malacca and even in the Indian colony of Goa has been significantly improved, and it is very likely that the weapons equipped with them came from the Haihan Arsenal located in the inland of Sanya. If the East India Company continued to stand on the opposite side, it was likely that the next attack on Batavia would not be the Matarans, but the combined forces of Portugal and Haihan, armed to the teeth.

There were a number of reasons that prompted Van Diemen to make the decision to jump into the pit, including political and economic factors, as well as military pressure. Van Diemen was not willing to make such a choice if a more suitable solution could be found, and he knew that once he complied, it would be difficult for the East India Company to get back on his feet, but the reality was cruel and did not leave him with more options.

Fan Dimen shook his head helplessly, dispelled some unrealistic thoughts in his mind, and instructed Su Keyi: "After the celebration, the next countries will negotiate the agreement of the trade alliance, and then the affairs of Daming and Annan will be handled by you." ”

Su Keyi knew that this was Fan Dimen delegating power to himself, which should also be regarded as a test, and how much benefit he could win for the East India Company in the negotiation was probably the standard for Fan Dimen's rating. At that moment, Su Keyi hurriedly responded, and began to think about the negotiation after the celebration in his heart.
