Wang Jing's sudden voice of surprise was not that he was making a fuss, but that he was really feeling the horror of this matter more and more.
Not only is the initial investment correct? This is the most important question, it is difficult for everyone to verify, and everyone must live in great fear, and at the same time, these investments.
It's not a one-and-done deal. People need to eat and spend money, and ships also need repairs and maintenance.
These all cost money, and there's no doubt about it.
Such a big deal, such a big team!
Given this scale, the amount of money and food consumed is definitely not a small amount.
There is such a big problem here and it still has to be shut down. Is this...Wang Jing didn't even feel worried or anxious, not just anxious, but outright scared.
This deal won't go bad again, although this time it's different from the previous ones.
This time Wang Jing and others engaged in this business because they had already established a real intelligence system at a very high cost in advance. This intelligence system was not established by Wang Jing and others because they wanted to do business, but for other reasons.
This intelligence network.
Then, with this kind of 100% objectivity and no longer the thought of comforting oneself and not worrying because of fear of loss, Wang Jing and others really thought hard and discussed repeatedly before finally determining that this intelligence system can always be stable.
It exists and can be used.
For the five surnames and Qiwang, this is undoubtedly the most precious thing they got after losing their vast hectares of farmland!
And because this "sale at sea" is also done on the basis of this most precious thing, it is naturally an extremely precious business like the land rent collection in the past.
With this kind of nature, Wang Jing and others have been fucked a lot by Li Er now, and their mentality has been completely shattered. They don't dare to talk about it, and they have never said it out loud.
But if you haven’t said it out loud, how can you not think about it in your heart? This is naturally something that should be cherished and valued.
Moreover, although no one directly said that this transaction was of great significance to everyone when we chatted together, everyone had already discussed the many arguments related to this understanding and conclusion thoroughly.
It's time to stop now, but even though these old guys looked embarrassed, they didn't need to be insiders, even if they were passers-by who saw it, they would feel uncomfortable, but this made Pei Ji feel alert...
As a think tank, I have always been vigilant!
Suddenly it became overwhelming.
Although he couldn't say what the reason was, after being silent for a while, Pei Ji still shook his head, and finally looked at Wang Jing and others with great solemnity.
"Brother Wang, I'm afraid this matter is not simple... In my opinion, we'd better be more prudent!"
As soon as Pei Ji said these words, the eyes of several old men present widened when they heard this, and they opened their mouths on the spot, obviously they all wanted to say something.
But before the elders could speak, they saw that Pei Ji's face was dark, and strangely he seemed to be in a sad mood... He said sadly, "Brothers, have you forgotten all the past!"
"Li Er, a foolish king, is vicious in his methods; Li Sheng, a monster, is even more ferocious in his attacks. We have suffered losses many times, how can we make the same mistake again now!"
Pei Ji's words immediately made Wang Jing and others speechless, and they broke out in a cold sweat.
Pei Ji's words sounded like nonsense. After all, "all the past" is simply the experience of losing blood in Li Ershuo - this kind of experience is extremely profound for anyone, how can everyone forget it!
But what Pei Ji wants to express is obviously not this, but...
You guys... We want to start expanding this business as soon as possible because we are uneasy, need to seek peace of mind, and need to see the results. But if we act in the name of "seeking peace of mind", how can we act in this way?
Not reckless?
Wouldn't being reckless cause the car to overturn?
Since impatience itself can lead to real uneasiness, are we doing it for peace of mind or for real safety and security?
Pei Ji didn't say this clearly, but after all, the old men here were all well-dressed and educated people, so they understood it immediately. And...
Since there is such logic in it.
Even though Pei Ji hinted at it, it was basically expressed explicitly, so everyone had to weigh it up. Thinking about it carefully based on Pei Ji's thinking...it seems to be the case.
Although it may seem pragmatic to fully launch the expanded business now, if you think about it carefully, it may indeed lead to disaster.
finally.
Pei Ji smiled happily, because although these old friends from aristocratic families did not say anything, their expressions undoubtedly showed that these guys had heard what he meant.
So Pei Ji remained silent and waited for these old brothers to express their opinions. Of course, in the end, although a few people still did not agree, they just expressed it very reluctantly... This matter is indeed reasonable, let's just deal with it.
Although his voice was forced, Pei Ji could tell at a glance that these guys understood what they wanted to express and had already made their choices.
This naturally made Pei Ji breathe a sigh of relief!
After all, safety is more important than security.
However, seeing that the faces of these old friends were not very good, Pei Ji added and said with a smile, "Brothers, since our business has decided to be big, it must be long-term, so that it can be worthy of me and others.
Investing so much money and food to buy ships is not the same as recruiting troops."
"Since we want to take a long-term view, how can we live in this world between gains and losses? Maybe one day, Li Er, this foolish king's wish to touch the sea will be ruined, and all the wealth of the world's maritime merchants will be in our pockets.
Why bother worrying about so many!"
Pei Ji's supplementary speech sounded brisk, but the meaning was rather pessimistic - if the business on the sea is reliable, then there is no need to rush, but if there are still problems with the business itself... this will be a robbery.
If you pause for a few days, it won’t be a big problem!
This mentality is equivalent to being a bit arrogant, but the core of this arrogance seemed to suddenly stimulate Wang Jing, Cui Baihe, and others, and they suddenly understood what Pei Ji meant.
To put it bluntly, everyone still lacks willpower. The objective fact is that it is really not suitable to continue taking action now!
…
At the end when the five surnames and the Seven Hopes gathered together, carefully planning actions, planning strategies, and discussing various details of the sea business in the increasingly unpredictable new world, Wang Jing suddenly had a whim.
"By the way everyone, since we have to be cautious, it's best to just be cautious to the end!"
"Since there are unpredictable enemies looking around us, since we have to hide in hiding, wouldn't it be nice to do more and send ships out for reconnaissance regularly?"
