"I believe Yu Cheng has taken you to various workshops such as textile factories, smelting factories, flour mills and other workshops to see our production capacity. I wonder what you think?" Chu Yun met with a group of merchants from Jiangnan at the Governor's Mansion in Jinzhou.

Although there are only more than a dozen people in this business group, they are all wealthy Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen. As long as they win over them, more Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen will probably cooperate with him in the future.

"General Chu's Jinzhou Guard workshop really amazed us. If our Ming Dynasty was like the Jinzhou Guard everywhere, then the Ming Dynasty still needs to be afraid of the only Jin people?" A group of merchants sighed.

"I have discussed it with all my old friends. Everyone is willing to cooperate with General Chu. General Chu is responsible for supplying the products. According to old habits, the products will be sold to us at a price below 20% of the market price. Then we will sell these products to Goryeo, Japan, Nanyang, and even our southeast coastal markets." Wang Changyuan, as the first Jiangnan businessman to cooperate with Chu Yun, was chosen by many merchants as the representative of the business group.

"I'm just about to tell you about this. I'm going to change my previous thoughts..." Chu Yun knocked on the table.

When Wang Changyuan heard Chu Yun change his mind, his face became unfavorable: "General Chu, I, Old Wang, have been doing business with you for nearly half a year, and they are all trading at a price lower than 20% of the market price. The number of pirates in the sea has increased this year, so it is not easy for us to do overseas business. If you raise the price on the ground, then I, Old Wang, will not be able to look up in front of these brothers."

"Yes, General Chu, we came from Suzhou, Wuhu and other areas all the way. Isn't it just to make a little price difference for hard money? If you don't want to give us this little profit, then wouldn't we go there in vain? Moreover, General's workshop production capacity is so terrible. Without us helping to sell, it would probably cause the goods to be overstocked."

Other merchants were also afraid that Chu Yun would change his mind, so they said one after another.

"Ahem, you misunderstood. I don't mean to raise the price. I have a new contract plan, which may be of great benefit to you." Chu Yun said quickly when he saw that the merchants were anxious.

So that's the case, and more than a dozen merchants suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Master General, please tell me if you have something to do."

"I plan to establish a Far East Trading Company and establish a systematic management system so that there will be rules to follow in the future for supply and sales." Chu Yun said.

"Company? What is this?"

"Old Wang, do you know what a company is?"

"How could I know!"

More than a dozen businessmen looked confused. They had never heard of "company".

"You can understand the company as a partnership alliance, and everyone works together to do the same thing. Our Far East Trading Company is led by our Fuliao Army. Only merchants who join our Far East Trading Company are qualified to come to our Jinzhouwei and Guanglushima to pick up goods. They need to pay membership fees every year. Of course, correspondingly, we will provide escort to everyone in the sea areas we control. In the future, our Far East Trading Company will provide more services to members." Chu Yun introduced.

What a crazy idea!

The businessmen here are all skilled in the business world for decades, so they never thought of Chu Yun’s intention. At present, the Far East Trading Company may only have a dozen members, but this company framework can include merchants from the entire southeast coast in the management system in the future.

only……

"The general's idea is good, but with your current strength, the sea area you control may be limited to the narrow seaway between Hirokashima and Kinzhou, which is better than nothing." A businessman shook his head.

"That's the truth." The other merchants also nodded.

Wang Changyuan also reminded: "The pirates Zheng Zhilong and others on the southeast coast have hundreds of warships and tens of thousands of people, traversing across the South China Ocean. Each large merchant ship must pay them 3,000 taels of silver to be safe. In the further west, there are also the red barbarians plundering merchant ships. It's not that we want to attack the adults, but because of the more than a dozen transport ships that the adults now are really..."

Seeing everyone's reaction, Chu Yun was not surprised. Without the strength of the navy, it would be impossible to convince these merchants.

"Don't worry, everyone, although we don't have a powerful navy in the Restoration of Liao Army, what if we have it in the future? And before our navy does not have the strength to protect your fleet, we will not charge you membership fees. So please rest assured, at present, you are just nominally joining our Far East Trading Company and becoming a member of the company. In the future, you will know how great this company will be." Chu Yun said.

More than a dozen merchants heard that they didn’t have to pay membership fees for the time being, it was just a form. Look at me, I look at you, and nodded one after another.

"It seems that everyone is satisfied?" Chu Yun asked.

"We are willing to become a member of the Far East Trading Company, and we will ask General Chu to take care of him in the future." More than a dozen merchants said in unison.

"Haha, you are welcome to join this great company. Everyone comes from afar, stay in Jinzhou to experience the customs and customs here. Let's carefully finalize this membership agreement later." Chu Yun said with a smile.

When you join the Far East Trading Company, you will not be willing to leave in the future! Chu Yun said intimately. This is the first step for him to tie the merchant group to his warship. When the war is launched and overseas is launched, the merchant group still needs financing.

Industry, agriculture, commerce, firearms, diplomacy, as Chu Yun took over Jinzhou City, all industries were developing in a tense and orderly manner, and it expanded many times compared to Guanglu Island in the past. Chu Yun accumulated civilization points in the next month. For the sake of sail battleships in the future, Chu Yun pointed out the smoothbore artillery technology of the 18th century. Previously, Chu Yun was still using the smoothbore artillery technology of the 17th century. Compared with the smoothbore artillery technology of the 17th century, the technology of the 18th century was more mature, the rate of explosion was reduced, and the range and accuracy were greatly improved. After the emergence of smoothbore artillery technology of the 18th century, coupled with the original 1777 French rifle, Chu Yun's equipment of the Fu Liao army was very close to the strength of the Napoleon Legion. The Napoleon Legion is nearly two hundred years away.
