Business of Hundreds of Millions of Taels
Chapter 774:Business of Hundreds of Millions of Taels
Zhang Bin's way to deal with the mainland powers is to compete for the fisherman's profits, such a simple trick Zhu Ciqi can naturally think of, Zhang Bin hinted to him understand.
However, this trick is simple to say, but it is not so easy to make people fight according to your ideas, and it is better for the European powers to be beaten in Spain, otherwise it will be difficult for Ming to be this fisherman.
Thinking of this, Zhu Cichao couldn't help but be happy: "This is really God's help me, let them fight, we take this opportunity to help the big business to make business bigger, at the same time build warships, the development of the Marine Division, so that our Daming Marine Division can be invincible in the world."
Zhang Bin nodded, quite proud: "Emperor, let them play the dark benefits can be more than this."
Zhu Cihui heard the words, not to be curious: "Oh, what good is there?"
Zhang Bin smiled: "Spain and Portugal, after all, have also been magnificent in the sea, they will not be willing to always send under the big fence, look at the face of the big face, they also want to revive, but also want to rise again."
Is that a good thing?
Zhu Cixian puzzled: "Master, don't you say that barbarism is all tiger-wolf-minded, and it is good for Daming to let them rise again?"
Zhang Bin immediately explained: "Let them be strong enough to exceed the Ming nature is not good, but let them be strong enough to entangled other European powers to Da Ming is beneficial and harmless, and they can not make advanced guns and artillery at this time, let alone build a far-off battleship and town cruiser such a weapon, they only have to buy with us, so that we have a large amount of money to develop military industry, strengthen the step."
Zhu Cihui heard the words, not surprised: "Sell them with weapons?"
Zhang Bin nodded slowly: "Yes, selling weapons to them, Spain and Portugal so many colonies, the benefits are more, we are now helping them to keep the colony, naturally to make some benefits."
How much can this be earned, the two countries can sell them to two or three hundred thousand army weapons and equipment, Zhu Cichun on the cost of weapons and equipment is still more aware, equipment two or three hundred thousand army muskets and artillery costs to support the death of millions of two or three thousand, this money is necessary to earn?
He puzzled: "Master, we do not need to earn this money, to support the death is millions of two, sell so many weapons out to prevent them."
Zhang Bin understood that Zhu Cichlid was calculated as a profit according to the price of ordinary goods, and he shook his head: "Emperor, the price of weapons and equipment can not be calculated according to ordinary things, at least more than ten times the profit we sell."
10 times the profit!
What joke, this weapon and equipment materials are not not out of sight, more than ten times the profit, people will pay this price?
Zhu Ciyan was stunned and said, “More than ten times the profit they will buy?”
Zhang Bin said with pleasure: "Of course, they can't make it again, they want to revive, they have to buy with us, Weichen has already negotiated with João IV and Philip IV, and João IV has bought us ten thousand new pair of flaming guns and 50,000 cedars, which is used to build musket factories and gun factories."
This is all about the price, Zhu Cixiao was surprised: "Master, what price do you come out of?"
Zhang Bin truthfully reported: "The new type of gun 51, the finger-ticked one, the fifteen-pound fir gun, five hundred two silver, one, one, one silver, the other one, the other guns, by weight; light armored ship fifty thousand two silver, one, five hundred thousand silver, one, the other, the price of one, the other half of the price, the other half of the price, and the other half of the price."
“Ah!”Zhu Cichong has not seen silver, but this price really scared him, this is simply to take copper in the silver to sell ah, this is still half price!
He couldn’t believe it: “At this price, they all buy it.”
Zhang Bin nodded triumphantly: "Of course, they will buy, and then they will buy, because they do not buy there is no hope of revival, can only see the face of the face of action."In fact, even if it is twice as expensive, they will buy it, but then they will be more meat-pain-the-meal, and if they feel a pain in meat, it will definitely affect our alliance, so Weichen only gave them a half price.
This is indeed true, just like when Daming could not build slaves, Portuguese merchants came to sell red cannons, the price is also expensive, Da Ming is not bought, a country even the enemy's invasion can not resist when it will care about that money, as long as it can turn over, and then expensive to buy!
Zhu Cihui thought about it carefully, so he nodded: "Master, you are very right, as the prince of a country, no one will be willing to look at the face of other countries, and do not want to lose to their enemies, this price is indeed not too much."How much do they want to buy, and how much do we have in a year?”
Zhang Bin smiled: "They naturally want to buy the more the better, but Portugal limited to the country's population can also be a total of 50,000 horses, according to the Navy and Army half of equipment, in the next five years Portugal will give us about five million two per year to buy weapons and equipment."As for Spain, if we open up to the sale, it is estimated that if we give them tens of millions of dollars every year, they will, and they will not be too many to buy hundreds of millions of pieces of equipment.”
Billions of dollars!
This sale of weapons and equipment can make so much money, Zhu Ciqi really surprised, he said: "Spain can pull out hundreds of millions of dollars to buy weapons and equipment!"
Zhang Bin smiled and explained: "They spend more than hundreds of millions of dollars in weapons and equipment, from the beginning of the year of Daming Zhengde and Jiajing, Spain has obtained a large amount of gold and silver from the American colonies, under normal circumstances, the value of gold and silver obtained from the Americas every year has more than 10 million two silver, if coupled with their taxes in the continental territory, Spain's annual income is definitely not less than 20 million two silver."Zheng De Dynasty and Jiajing have been more than a hundred years old, but Spain has not accumulated any wealth, and even now they still owe a debt.That is to say, they have squandered nearly two billion silver at least in more than a hundred years!”
Two billion and two!
Zhu Cihui's eyes were almost out of the eyes, he couldn't believe it: "How can they squander so much money?"
Zhang Bin gave an example: "For example, their Armada, Spain's heyday at sea can indeed be invincible, because their fleet has more than 100 super battleships, thousands of artillery, and thousands of ships of large and small ships."If we look at the price of the warships we sell, the formation of an Armada would require hundreds of millions of silver, even at a cost of ten thousand, which would be tens of millions of dollars, and only the sixteenth to the twenty-nine years of the British naval battle, Spain has lost five Armadas, that is to say, in a total of more than ten years they have lost hundreds of millions of dollars!"
This Spanish spending "beverage" really let Zhu Cichao marvel, more than ten years can spend hundreds of millions of two, it seems, this hundreds of millions of business is really done, because people do not care about this money ah!
