After three rounds of drinking, Shang Yi said: "General Zheng, what I said just now is the truth, and General Zheng doesn't need to deny it, but I will definitely explain to General Zheng."
In fact, along the way to the city, Zheng Zhilong was thinking about what Shang Yi said. After all, he was also a smart person, so he was also thinking nothing at this time. Although Shang Yi said it directly, he actually had no confrontation with him.
I mean, probably want to negotiate with myself.
Moreover, after getting off the pier, Zheng Zhilong also saw the appearance of the merchant army brought by Shang Yi, which really surprised Zheng Zhilong because he was a person who knew the overseas world and knew that only European countries were like this.
The army with the main weapon. If you are 60% sure of the navy itself, compared with the army, your army is definitely not a match for the merchant army. It seems that Shang Yi’s previous record was not an exaggeration. Therefore, it is true that
The two of them turned aside and were not willing to make a fuss. At the same time, judging from Shang Yi's style of conduct after he arrived in Zhejiang, he had a certain sense of a businessman's character. However, this is more pleasing to Zheng Zhilong, because Zheng Zhilong is in
In essence, it is actually a businessman.
Therefore, Zheng Zhilong also smiled and said, "President Shang, please tell me, listen carefully."
Shang Yi said: "General Zheng has seen the world overseas, so he naturally knows that the vastness of the world is not in this short corner. Not to mention the distance, there are also Philippines, Luzon, and Bonito.
Batavia, Siam, Cham, Jiaozhi, Sanfoqi, Malacca, and tens of thousands of miles of land. Needless to say, there are also Goa, Tianzhu, Guli, and Ceylon outside of Southeast Asia. I don’t know how many places there are.
Thousands of miles, not to mention the farther places there are the countries of Taixi,
Isn't it enough for you to gallop? Even if you are a good man, why bother to fight for this little profit, and to make the outsiders benefit. What's more, we are all from the Yanhuang and Huaxia lineage. If we can work together, we will also benefit from it.
Why are you afraid of Franji, Gantila, and the people of the Nederland countries? As the time goes by, the sea boundaries of the South Ocean are all sailing by Chinese maritime ships. The four barbarians come to pay tribute to each other. If you are in time, you will never lose to
The feat of the three treasure eunuchs who went to the West in the past."
After hearing Shang Yi's words, Zheng Zhilong was also very surprised. Moreover, this time's surprise was much greater than any previous one. Zheng Zhilong did not expect that Shang Yi would have such an understanding of the overseas world.
I didn't expect that Shang Yi would have such a great courage. Since being recruited by the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong has dealt with officials from the Ming Dynasty many times, and most of them are short-sighted in Zheng Zhilong's eyes.
Now it was just a moment of emotion. After he calmed down, he would never give up his right to trade overseas. Shang Yi was also prepared, so he clapped his hands gently. A group of people came in from outside the banquet hall.
At the front, four men carried an item like a door, but covered it with a large piece of cloth, and the items in the hands of others were also covered with cloth, and they didn't know what was on their face.
Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but be curious and said, "General Shang, what is this?"
Shang Yi smiled slightly, waved his hand gently, and saw a man pulling off the big cloth and erecting the door panel. Zheng Zhilong didn't "ban" and couldn't help but stand up. He couldn't help but get up and walked over.
Looking carefully, my eyes were in abrupt.
The one that appeared in front of Zheng Zhilong turned out to be a large glass mirror that was extremely tall. In fact, the actual size of this glass mirror is four feet three inches tall and one foot five inches wide. However, it is wrapped with wood carvings on the outside, so it looks like
It is taller than one person. This is the largest mirror that can be produced in the lean glass factory at present. Not to mention it is in Asia, even if you look at the world at this time, you may be one of the best large glass mirrors.
Shang Yi smiled and said, "General Zheng, there are some slight politeness and disrespect. Please accept General Zheng with a smile."
Of course, Zheng Zhilong knew the price of glass mirrors. A glass mirror of this size is at least ten thousand taels of silver. If it is favored by a wealthy family, it is not impossible to buy 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver.
Yi got such a good product from there, and actually gave it to him with a wave of his hand. Therefore, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but say: "General Shang, this gift is too thick, Zhilong feels guilty of it."
Shang Yi shook his head and smiled, "General Zheng just accept it with confidence. Such a mirror is actually very cheap. It was made by us in Hangzhou. If General Zheng is interested, he will have as much as he wants. The price is easy to negotiate.
”
Although Zheng Zhilong felt that he had become immunized to Shang Yi’s unexpected thing, after hearing this, he couldn’t help but be surprised again, and his heart was shocked, saying, “Is this really made by General Shang himself?
”
Shang Yi nodded with a smile, and waved his hand. The others also uncovered the mask. They saw that there were mirrors of various sizes, with more than ten faces in total, and the smallest one was one foot square.
There are more than a dozen glassware of different shapes.
Zheng Zhilong was also dazzling and looked carefully. He confirmed that his production level was no less than that of European products. He also completely believed in his heart that Shang Yi really mastered the method of making glass and mirrors, and at the same time he understood that Yan Yi wanted to use it.
The mirror exchanged the trade rights of the sea with him. But for Zheng Zhilong, it was also a great gain. Of course, he knew that glassware was popular everywhere and he had no worries about sales. If Shang Yi could provide him with sufficient supply
, then giving him part of overseas trade is not a loss.
In order to deal with Zheng Zhilong, Shang Yi made careful preparations. For example, he showed his military power as the first step, and verbal agitation is the second step. Of course, these two points alone can convince Zheng Zhilong to give up the right to trade overseas. Of course, it is
It is impossible, Zheng Zhilong must also be given full benefits. Glassware is undoubtedly the best thing that can impress Zheng Zhilong.
Both sides have their own needs and can get what they get, so the next facts will be much easier, so the two quickly reached an agreement: Shang Yi obtained the right to trade in seas in Manila, and of course the trade relations with Manila.
, Shang Yi himself opened up; Zheng Zhilong did not interfere with the sea trade leading to Batavia, and Shang Yi went to negotiate with the Dutch. However, Shang Yi must be the same as other merchant ships for the sea trade leading to Japan.
, he had to pay the navigation fee to Zheng Zhilong and use the Zheng family's banner. Of course, Zheng Zhilong guaranteed that the fee was 30% lower than other merchant ships. At the same time, Japanese merchant ships were also allowed to dock in Zhejiang for trade.
The benefit Zheng Zhilong has obtained is that Shang Yi provides Zheng Zhilong with 60 glass mirrors every month, including at least one glass mirror of size similar to what Zheng Zhilong saw just now, and there are also five hundred glassware, and the price is guaranteed to be only market-price.
Of course, Zheng Zhilong can only sell these glass objects to Japan, but not other places. Shang Yi himself cannot sell glass objects to Japan. As for Zheng Zhilong who wants to sell glass objects to other places, he must use the market price to
Shang Yi purchased it, and Shang Yi allowed Zheng Zhilong to purchase the goods he needed in Zhejiang and imposed a preferential price of halving the tariffs.
At the same time, the two sides also reached a common agreement to protect the foreign countries' unique attitudes and attitudes. Once a war breaks out, they have an obligation to support each other's war.
For Shang Yi, the two joints between the Netherlands and Zheng Zhilong were opened up, and the overseas trade rights were obtained without conflict with them, which was also a huge breakthrough. Now the sea trade can be officially launched.
Zheng Zhilong's gains are not small. Not only can he purchase goods in Zhejiang, but he also obtained the right to agent glass products in Japan, and it is also a unique and exclusive business. Therefore, the price is decided by Zheng Zhilong, and he will never pay it back in a fixed price.
Once the agreement was agreed, the atmosphere became more harmonious, and the reception banquet was over and over again.
The next day, Zheng Zhilong also said goodbye to Shang Yi. Shang Yi kept sending Zheng Zhilong to the pier, and Zheng Zhilong's generals were also waiting on the shore to welcome him.
At this time, Zheng Zhilong called out a young man from the crowd that was greeting him, Wu said: "Sen'er, come and see General Shang."
The young man took two steps forward, clasped his fists and bowed, and said, "I have met General Shang."
Shang Yi saw that the young man was about twenty years old, with his brows and thin eyes, and was quite elegant, which was six or seventy percent similar to Zheng Zhilong. When he moved his heart, he immediately understood his identity. Sure enough, he heard Zheng Zhilong smile and said, "General Shang, This is the dog son Zheng Sen, who is only twenty years old and is stupid by nature. He may not be able to become a great man in the future. He is so happy that General Shang of the Cong laughs."
Shang Yi nodded, and he guessed it was indeed correct. This young man was later Zheng Chenggong. Therefore, he also smiled and said, "Where is General Zheng, I think the man is good at being a good man, and he is definitely not a thing in the pool. In the future, the young phoenix is clear. The voice of Yu Laofeng may not be known."
