Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 7: Dingding Section 94 Road to Fortune
In fact, Wufeng has been thinking about overseas expansion and exploration for a long time. The new continent was first discovered by the powerful countries in the Central and Western Continent and began to set foot in it. This has made Wufeng who has not yet obtained the throne feel a little pressure. Fang Haoqiang's power has almost been divided up. If he wants to reshuffle the current situation, he must not only have strong strength, but also must pay a considerable price. The situation in the New World is completely different, at least for now. Before knowing the real situation in the New World, all parties will not directly fight each other because of this seemingly illusory thing. Even if there is competition in it, it is more reflected in non-armed conflicts. Once the New World After the real interests contained in it are gradually revealed, countries will inevitably increase their efforts to enter the undeveloped continent, and competition for the land and rights of the new continent will be inevitable, and the latecomers have lost their advantages in terms of morality and opportunity Among them, in terms of geographical location, the empire even occupies a disadvantage, which Wufeng is absolutely unwilling to see.
And now pouring a lot of power into the empire that has not yet been established to plan this new continent that is still far away, not to mention that it is difficult to get the support of your own, even Wufeng himself feels that it is a bit unrealistic, and it is in front of Xi. There are many affairs one after another, and there are many places that need to be spent. In addition to encouraging the navy, which is training **** the coast of Nanyang, to explore westward to prepare for the later entry, Wufeng can't think of anything more for a while. A good way to advance this process of work that does not seem urgent but is really behind and hard to catch up.
Using folk power seems to be a good way, but the Tang people's thought of not paying attention to maritime rights and interests has been deeply ingrained. If you want to reverse it, you can only lure them to see the rewards, but it is quite difficult to start. After all, this is a precedent that has never been done before, but this head finally took the first step under the full promotion of Wufeng himself. As the first part got its name and took the step, the wheel seemed to slowly spin Yes, and faster and faster.
Before the three sisters of the Shi family jointly funded the establishment of the expedition company, Wufeng had already tried several rounds of mobilization. The first one Wufeng approached was the Jiangnan Fang family. The broad vision of the Wen family during the Cultural Revolution made Wufeng think of the Wen family first, and the Wen family's strong financial foundation and strong business awareness were also the main reasons why Wufeng chose them.
Wufeng's actions did not disappoint him. After presenting a series of intelligence information obtained from the Western Continent, and after a long talk, the Cultural Revolution and Wufeng almost hit it off, and Wufeng also made a symbolic contribution. 500,000 gold coins as shares, and the Wen family invested 9.5 million imperial gold coins as shares to establish the so-called Far East Shipping Trade Development Firm. The Wen family also promised to invest another five million imperial gold coins in the next two years to build ships and develop expeditions, which also achieved Wufeng's height. The Far East Shipping Trade Development Company was also the embryonic form of the Far East Company, one of the most famous colonial companies in the empire in the future.
According to the vision of Wufeng and the Cultural Revolution, the Far East Shipping Trade Development Company was established almost overnight, and ordered eleven ocean-going expedition ships from Jiangnan Shipyard. It’s not very big, but it has good wind resistance, and the hull has also been specially designed and processed, making it especially strong. The design of the sails also borrows some technology obtained from the intelligence agency from the Western Continent. Wufeng even specifically asked the Military Affairs Administration to approve this batch of ocean expeditions. The ship can use the original gold-mast multi-angle sail technology that can only be used on military ships to strengthen the adaptability of these ocean-going expedition ships to the sea. According to the plan agreed upon by the two parties, the expedition ship should complete its trial voyage no later than February 700, and should start sailing to fulfill its real mission two months later. Among the eleven ships, five are used to open up routes to the new continent to the west, and the remaining six are to head east and south respectively, looking for land and islands that have not yet been discovered. According to Wufeng, each ship will be equipped with two military officers. The surveyors and mappers of the Department draw up the nautical charts.
After promoting the establishment of the joint-stock company with Wenchu, Wufeng was not satisfied. More than a dozen expedition ships were too insignificant for a huge empire, but to find new land and wealth , This investment and effort can't be done at all. The expedition groups and trading companies in the Western Continent had to pay a lot of money in order to find the New World to discover the New World in the south of the Latin Ocean. If the New Empire wants to open up another piece of land, it will also need to pay a lot.
In the days that followed, Wufeng summoned the Zhanwei family who were already the leaders in the business circles of the Northwest County, and they made the Zhanwei family and the Imperial Capital Gu family jointly invest 10 million imperial gold coins. Invested 500,000 imperial gold coins and established the Great Nanyang Development Company with Sanbao Port in the South China Sea Dominion as its registered office, and this company later also became a quite famous reclamation company that could stand on a par with the Far East Company. Immediately afterwards, Wufeng mobilized the elders of Gaoyue's various tribes, some of the nobles of Mott, the chief of Sussex Takla, the Duke of Maliyamutu, and himself, each of the five parties contributed 500,000 imperial gold coins, totaling 2.5 million Empire Gold Coin, and the East Samoa city-state Giggs family invested 2.5 million Empire Gold Coins to form the East Samoa Tongliu Development Company to develop the route from the South China Sea Dominion to the New World and participate in the development of the New World. This company later became The empire's well-known development company not only achieved great success in its operations in the New World, but also almost took over the business of transporting Japanese prisoners of war to the New World as plantation slaves.
That's it, Wufeng still didn't give up, after discussing with his confidantes, he quickly persuaded a group of women with his unique vision and tongue-twisting ability, and he and Angel each contributed 20 Let the three sisters of the Li family contribute 100,000 yuan each, Hua Yumei contributes 200,000 yuan, Guan Yingying Lu Xianxian contributes 50,000 yuan, making up one million gold coins, and the East Samoa Gray family contributes 4 million imperial gold coins again The famous Southern Shipping Company was established to develop the new continent route, specializing in routes from the New World to East Samoa, Moro, Sambo and Princesa Island.
It is said to be an unprecedented pioneering work. The emperor Xiangxia, the queen concubine and others jointly funded and formed a profitable company with businessmen to earn money. This was also permanently recorded in history as a tidbit of the emperor. . Stimulated by Wufeng's move, Princess Anne even took the initiative to invite the two daughters of Haliqina and Tuoji. One million, forcibly buying shares in Southern Shipping Company, forcing the Gray family to reduce their own family shares, which also made Wufeng laugh and cry.
And all these overseas expansion companies, without exception, have to undertake an important task, that is, they must record and map the situation learned from exploration and development, as well as shipping routes and exploration routes in secret, and hand them over to the military affairs The military administration and intelligence department will give certain rewards, and if this principle is violated, the company will be severely punished by the empire or even shut down.
As for the Shi family's investment, it is just a small investment initiated by Wufeng Xingzhi, and even if the Shi family contributes according to the agreement, it can only raise one million imperial gold coins. A few big investments can be described as drizzle, but it is a great shock to the entire martial arts arena, enough to attract these people to focus on this place. What Wufeng likes is that the people in the arena have different abilities from ordinary people. If these people can Find a suitable foothold in the New World and take root. No matter which country or force wants to surrender or conquer them, they will face fierce counterattacks. Except for the empire, from the private to the official, step by step. On the right track, this is what Wufeng hopes to achieve. And this is just a small example of Wufeng's intentional expansion into overseas exploration and development.
Although Wufeng, many business families and martial arts families jointly funded the development of overseas business routes, it was not announced to the public ~IndoMTL.com~ But Wufeng did not deliberately conceal it, he originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a name for himself in the empire. There was a frenzy of overseas expansion of business with the New World as the focus. Under the propaganda of those who cared, His Royal Highness the King of Qin believed that expanding business overseas could obtain huge benefits and spread like wildfire. From the aristocrats to the Kansai gentry, from the original landlords and local tyrants and the Heshuo martial arts family to the Donghai business tycoons, almost everyone has learned that this is hardly a secret and a secret, that is, since His Royal Highness King Qin is so interested in this investment, he would rather What does it mean that private individuals pay huge sums of money for these methods? It must be an extremely rich return!
This domino effect quickly exerted great power. Following the trend is the habit of Tang people, especially authoritative statements are often more attractive to many people. He did not answer or was vague, but there is no doubt that he never denied whether he participated in these investments, which also increased everyone's interest. The more this is the case, the more profitable it is. .
From the Great Eastern Ocean to the Greater Southern Ocean, from Dengzhou to Quanzhou, from Princesa Island to Eastern Samoa, following several development companies followed a series of upsurges of outward colonization exploration and development, This craze even lasted until the second half of 700 before it subsided slowly, but it was quickly brought back by the good news from the New World to bring a bigger frenzy.
