Jiang Wan was pondering, saying that the other party's so-called price was not sincere at all, but that it was nonsense to say how sincere it was.
All the benefits, well, the benefits it seems, will only come after the victory of the four naval regiments hired by yourself. Thinking about it from another perspective, if you want to get these benefits, you must ensure victory in the battle.
And the Four Marine Corps will never have 3,000 people. It is very clear what Jose's words are implying.
If you want to ensure victory in the battle, maybe at some point, you will even directly send your own Ming soldiers and horses to fight on the treasure island in the name of the "Four Marine Regiments". It is a shameless thing. Although you are fighting for them, you will not even have weapons.
They are not willing to pay for equipment or anything like that, they only provide food and drink, which means that we have no intention of letting Jiang Wan harvest their wool.
This guy is quite shrewd. He has been doing business for so many years and has not been beaten to death. This guy is really lucky.
He glanced at Jose, but Jose thought he was a little moved, and added with a smile: "I, the director of the Victor Chamber of Commerce, can serve as the governor of other colonies in our kingdom!"
Are you still drawing cakes for me?
Jiang Wan secretly laughed in her heart. Although the Ming Dynasty is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, the Portuguese are also in the sunset. Do you think you don’t know? Your era will soon pass, and the Saxon Anglos on the British Isles are now only
I'm afraid that they have already extended their tentacles to India, and next, these guys will be like locusts, causing trouble all over the world, becoming a real empire on which the sun never sets.
Where will it be your turn?
For your few colonies, you'd better think about how to protect them!
"I heard something from your words!" Jiang Wan said slowly: "If I become your director, will I be within the sphere of influence of your Victor Chamber of Commerce? If I want to use you
If I have armed forces, such as your armed merchant ships, or something else, you will also cooperate with me to a high degree!"
"This...should be like this!"
Jose's face became slightly uneasy.
"For example, if I want to block a sea area, or use the Chamber of Commerce's fleet to transport troops for me, or something else, can I be satisfied?"
"If the price is enough, it should be so!" Jose smiled dryly: "After all, we are just a profit-oriented business organization, and everything is in service of money!"
"I understand!" Jiang Wan smiled. The fact that the other party did not refuse completely meant that such a thing could happen. For him now, this is a real benefit.
As for the mercenary group fighting for the other party, he does not reject it at all.
Anyway, they are just a bunch of robbers who come to the master's house to fight. It's just dog bite dog. No matter how the fight ends, it will be his master who will clean up the mess. The loser will be driven away with a bloody head, but the winner will be driven away.
Don't even think about staying with that one.
The treasure island is the treasure island of the Ming Dynasty. It was before and will be in the future. No one can change this.
He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and said, "When will we use troops?"
"Before February next year at the latest!" Jose said.
Jiang Wan didn't know what the significance of February was, but since it was only September, there was still enough time to show that the other party was not so urgent to use troops.
"I need to recruit and train new soldiers!" Jiang Wan said: "Furthermore, your conditions need to be slightly changed. Since our four naval regiments are hired, all the weapons and equipment needed will be your responsibility. Each
Months of military pay also require your expenses, this is non-negotiable, our Sihai Merchant Group also wants to make money!"
"Then we need the right to command!" Jose thought for a moment: "If we don't have the right to command, it means our Chamber of Commerce will form such an army for General Jiang!"
"When you discussed this proposal with Sun Yuanhua, did Sun Yuanhua give you the right to command?" Jiang Wan's face darkened and she looked at the other party.
"...!"
After a period of silence, Jose smiled awkwardly: "I can't hide anything from you, General Jiang!"
"I just know that you are definitely not the first one to come to me!" Jiang Wan shook his head: "Since you have come to my place, it means that none of the people you found before agreed to this.
Conditions, you be wary of us, and we are also wary of you. It is better to expose some things in the open than to scheming behind closed doors afterwards!"
"We cannot accept such conditions!" Jose smiled bitterly: "Nothing is guaranteed, and we have to pay so much. For businessmen like us, the risk is too great!"
"You don't have to do this business!" Jiang Wan waved her hand, shook her head and said, "Let's go, I won't give it away!"
Jose wanted to say something else, but he was invited out by Geng Jingzhong beside him. Geng Jingzhong was frightened by this conversation. What made his scalp numb even more was that this conversation continued until the end. Marshal Jiang
Didn't let him avoid it.
He now regretted immensely that he had brought this unfortunate guy Jose back.
I don’t know if knowing these things about the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief would send him to the front to fight to the death with the Tatars. In the army, there are simply too many ways for the commander-in-chief to kill a person like him.
He was muttering in his mind and glaring at Jose angrily. He was now determined to kill these Francois first.
"General Geng!"
Jose turned around, saw the murderous look in his eyes, and smiled slightly: "It seems that it is true as you said. General Jiang really values you and will ask you to take more care of you in the future!"
"Easy to say, easy to say..." Geng Jingzhong said with a smile.
"If we return to Beijing, General Geng must be a guest at our Chamber of Commerce. Even if I am not here, my niece Catherine will entertain our friends warmly. You should know my niece. By the way, she is now Jiang
General’s wife, this child is so lucky!”
"Nonsense, our handsome man's wife is..." Geng Jingzhong stopped talking. He really remembered that his handsome man's second wife was a Folangji man.
Damn it, we can’t kill this guy, he is a relative of the handsome man! I almost made a mistake again.
Seeing him standing blankly on the spot, Jose smiled slightly: "By the way, has General Geng made any arrangements about where we will stay tonight? The matter between General Jiang and I may need to be discussed for some days.
Such a big matter will definitely not be decided in a few words, so we have to trouble General Geng about the matters here!"
"No trouble, no trouble!" Geng Jingzhong forced a smile and was about to say something when he saw a figure flash in front of him.
He shouted loudly: "Kong Youde, General Kong, where are you going? It's as if you haven't seen me when you see me. Come here, come here. I'll introduce you to someone. It can't be said that I don't take care of you. This is
