Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 790 Temporary Director (Fifth Watch)
When Da Yuer and others arrived at Yokohama Port, Zheng Zhilong secretly sent out invitations to the top executives of the Beiyang Fleet and the Far East Trading Company, and secretly summoned them to his courtyard to host a banquet for everyone.

Yokohama Port is a concession area forcibly occupied by the Beiyang Fleet. The shogunate has almost no influence, only some spies lurking in the concession.

"This is Miss Bumbutai, but our military department prefers to call her Missy, and most of them have to rely on Wu Keshan, a crazy sister-in-law. For suitors who dare to harass Miss Bumbutai, Wu Keshan will not move at all Just beat the other party up, it's a pain for the young lady." Zheng Zhilong introduced Dayuer to the senior management of the Beiyang Fleet and the Far East Trading Company's Dongying Branch.

"Everyone, it's better not to call me Missy. You can just call me Da Yuer. The defense between men and women is not as serious now." Da Yuer wanted to correct everyone's views helplessly.

"Okay, miss." Everyone roared with laughter.

I have to say it's even more impressive this way.

"This time, my senior came to Yokohama Port to take up a post at the Far East Trading Company. According to the order of the Ministry of Accounts, my senior served as the temporary director of the Far East Trading Company and the leader of the special Japanese working group of the Ministry of Accounts, and we were members of the group. , and I would like to ask all the adults to cooperate with our work." A man who followed Da Yuer said.

Interim director and task force leader?The officials of the Far East Trading Company present were shocked.

The Far East Trading Company is an institution used by the Ministry of Accounts to manage merchants. It is actually equivalent to the Ministry of Commerce. The managers inside are officials from the Ministry of Accounts. They do not do business, but only supervise merchants.

The Far East Trading Company's Dongying Branch has only three directors, and Da Yuer has become a temporary director on an equal footing with the official directors since he arrived.

And the task force?Is it to investigate the corruption and fraud cases of the Far East Trading Company?
The three directors present and several other slightly lower-level officials looked at each other, as if they were asking if the other party had committed a crime.

The generals of the Beiyang Fleet looked calm, and the envoys of the Ministry of Finance really couldn't control them. Even if they investigated the accounts, the military department sent people to come.

"We didn't come to Yokohama Port to check the accounts. There are people from the audit office to check the accounts. This time, we are trying to implement some reform measures in Japan, and all of you should cooperate with us. The establishment of the Tokyo Branch of Kyushu Bank is ours. proposal." Da Yuer said.

"So that's how it is." The executives of the Far East Trading Company suddenly realized.

"I just said why those guys from Kyushu Bank suddenly accelerated the preparations for the Tokyo branch, and they didn't have time to inform us. My name is Cao Crocodile, and I'm one of the directors. Welcome Miss to join our Far East Trading Company." Yokohama Port Three Directors said one.

The Far East Trading Company and Kyushu Bank are currently under the jurisdiction of the Account Department, and they exist at the same level.The Far East Trading Company manages the merchants, and Kyushu Bank also has considerable influence on the merchants through loans and bonds.Because sometimes the Bank of Kyushu tightened its money, some businessmen made trouble with the Far East Trading Company, and then the Far East Trading Company went to the Bank of Kyushu to argue, so usually the two big institutions of the Far East Trading Company and the Bank of Kyushu are not very good at dealing with each other.

"This Dongying, there are not many other things. They have a lot of silver mines, and they don't take silver seriously. Members of our Far East Trading Company get millions of taels of silver from here every year, which is simply unimaginable. And after removing the cost of raw materials and labor, there is still a profit." Another director said.

"Maybe God favored them and let them have good silver mines and gold mines. But if things go on like this, their silver mines and gold mines will inevitably dry up, and they won't be able to produce so much silver by then." Cao Crocodile shook his head.

"Without gold mines, silver mines and other raw materials, if not, there will be labor. Trade will not stop easily because of a lack of silver. Now the adults of the Far East Trading Company may still welcome us, but when we really test some policies , they may not welcome us." Da Yuer said.

"Yes, some of the new measures we are going to implement, even we don't know that we can succeed. If they fail, it may affect the normal trade between Huaxia and Dongying, and it may be a cumbersome thing for Huaxia merchants. It will even damage their interests, and at that time, it will arouse the common opposition of Japanese merchants and Chinese merchants, and they will definitely make troubles with the Far East Trading Company and Kyushu Bank." Said a member of the working group who came to Dongying with Dayuer and the others.

"What kind of measures will cause the businessmen of the two countries to shake?" The senior executives of the Far East Trading Company were surprised.Da Yuer's working group was obviously released in advance to make them mentally prepared.

"Our first step is to establish the Tokyo branch of Bank of Kyushu, which has been completed. The second step is to implement the deposit system when conducting trade in Japan and China." Da Yuer said.

In the Yokohama Concession, apart from the original fishermen of Yokohama Village, there are also a group of refugees who escaped from the war and famine and sought asylum. vision.

The owner of one of the grocery stores was wearing Hanfu, which was popular in the concession, and looked at the corner of the street where Zheng Zhilong's house was located from time to time.

Not long ago, groups of gorgeously dressed people went to Zheng Zhilong's mansion, which immediately caught his attention.Among them, Da Yuer and a group of young people came, led by Zheng Zhilong, and everything was abnormal.

The owner of the grocery store has been patiently waiting for those who entered Zheng Zhilong's courtyard to come out.When it was getting dusk, he saw the important figures who had arrived in Zheng Zhilong's mansion in batches leave at the same time, and he almost confirmed his uneasiness.It's just that the owner of the grocery store can't find out what they discussed.

"Zheng Zhilong is the leader of the other party. Maybe the Kyushu Army has made some big moves. We have to find a way to go to Edo Castle and report to the adults." The eyes of the owner of the grocery store flickered.

"You, go and follow that woman." The owner of the grocery store saw Da Yuer, who seemed the most special among the crowd.He already basically knew the information about the three directors of the Far East Trading Company's Dongying Branch, but Da Yuer, a group of young people he had never seen before in the concession, made him suddenly vigilant.

At the gesture of the owner of the grocery store, a woman doing odd jobs in the store bowed to him, then left the grocery store and followed Da Yuer and the others quietly.
