Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 905 Stranded in the capital
"Please let me calm down." Sir Greenville was a little troubled by Chu Yun's plan to acquire the East India Company.

He came to discuss trade matters with China under the order of Charles I, but Chu Yun instead proposed a plan to acquire the East India Company.

Once the acquisition is not agreed, Huaxia will intervene in the market of the Mughal Empire by itself, and the East India Company will have nothing by then.

"Your missions will stay in the capital for a month or two. We will discuss the details of the trade plan and the plan to acquire the East India Company before you bring them back to Britain. However, I hope that after you return to Britain, you can pass these two plans as soon as possible. plan." Chu Yun could not doubt it.

It is the lowest cost thing to enter the European market and the Mughal market at the same time by merging British industries.

However, Chu Yun still misses the old phone and internet a little bit. He only needs to make a few phone calls and send a few emails to Charles I to basically settle the matter.Now it is necessary for the envoys to return to communicate, and then Charles I will discuss with the British nobles before sending people over. It will take at least nearly a year.

In one year, a small-scale colonial army can be formed to control the Mughal Empire, and selected to go to Britain to build factories and warehouses as the bridgehead of the Kyushu Army in Europe.

"Well, I need time to think carefully." After Sir Greenville understood the power of the East, he knew that if he didn't handle it properly in this diplomacy, it might lead to a very difficult situation for Britain in the future.

"You want to buy the East India Company? At least 100 million pounds... Can you really spend so much money?" Princess Sophia was surprised when she heard that Chu Yun wanted to buy the East India Company.

The East India Company has its own employees, ships and factories, and the total investment reached more than 20 pounds 20 years ago. It is not ordinary people with deep pockets who want to acquire such a company.

"One million pounds, we can still get it out." Chu Yun said.

"You are really rich in the East... My brother borrowed tens of thousands of pounds from merchants to build ships. In our UK, merchants with a net worth of more than 10 pounds are one of the few richest people." Princess Sophia said to Chu Yun was amazed at 100 million pounds at every turn.

"After all, we have a large population. One tael of silver per person is far more than 100 million pounds." Chu Yun said.

In recent years, the Kyushu Army's profits from trade with Japan and Korea is an exaggerated figure, not to mention that many government-run shops and factories are financial blood transfusions.For example, Tianxia Buzhuang pays dividends of more than 10 taels of silver to the household department every year.After the introduction of the commercial tax, it will also be the bulk of the fiscal revenue. Otherwise, Chu Yun would not have so much money for major projects such as building steamships and laying submarine cables.

"It's a good thing, if my brother had been King of the East instead of of Britain, he would not be so short of money," said Princess Sophia.

"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense!" Sir Greenville's expression changed.

Fortunately, Chu Yun didn't respond.

Chu Yun knew that Charles I was really short of money in order to wage wars and maintain the royal family.If an additional huge sum of money can be provided to fund his war, perhaps Charles I would be willing to give himself the privileges of the East India Company in Mughal, and then it would be a matter of course to acquire the East India Company himself.

Thinking of this, Chu Yun knew how to lure Charles I to betray the East India Company.

Trading short-term benefits for long-term benefits is quite a bargain. Charles I probably couldn't believe that the East India Company would be able to control the entire Mughal Empire in the future.

"Your Highness, we are afraid that we will be stranded in China's capital for a month or two, and the number of things we need to discuss with the East has doubled." Sir Greenville said to Princess Sophia.

"Isn't it great to stay here for a month or two? It's so boring to go back to Britain, either to go on blind dates in various countries, or to attend and participate in noble banquets. I've had enough." Princess Sophia said happily.

When Selina heard that she could stay for an extra month or two, she couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"I don't quite understand. How do you know so much about Europe and even the Mughal Empire? Even I don't know much about it." Sir Greenville asked in surprise.

"I know more than you can imagine." Chu Yun said.

"This trip to Huaxia, I have a lot of feelings. I just hope that you can be more tolerant to us in terms of the agreement on trade and the Indian company as a shareholder." Lord Greenville found that China's national power is strong, and at the same time Chu Yun is mysterious. He felt more and more in awe of Chu Yun.

At this time, his posture was already very low, and he just asked Chu Yun not to be too harsh on the agreement.

If Chu Yun is willing to take them to play together, maybe he can agree to his conditions.But if he just blindly oppressed them, Sir Greenville could only refuse Chu Yun's request.

Chu Yun didn't want to push the Britons too hard, and let them taste some sweetness, so that they would be willing to work for him and act as the vanguard of expanding his influence to the west.

"You have to believe that we are sincere in cooperating with you, and our sincerity will be reflected in the details of the treaty," Chu Yun said.

Sir Greenville breathed a sigh of relief.Originally, he planned to come here to seek cooperation, but if instead Chu Yun forced him to sign an unequal treaty, how would he explain to Charles I when he went back?
"What else is there to do in the capital?" Princess Sophia asked Chu Yun.

"There are still many interesting places in the capital, and you can explore them slowly during this period of time." Chu Yun said with a smile.

This time it was Sir Greenville who was talking about business, and Princess Sophia was just a mascot, so it was easier for Chu Yun to talk with her without involving the interests of both parties.

"Why are there so many delicious and fun things in the East, so many styles of clothing, and there are activities like dragon boat races." Princess Sophia said.

"That's because you are a princess, you don't lack money, and you feel good everywhere when you are carefree. In fact, the life of a commoner is only to have a good meal every now and then, and to change into a new set of clothes." Chu Yun said.

"But the civilians here live a richer and more stable life than our British counterparts," Princess Sophia said.

"I didn't expect you to understand people's sentiments?" Chu Yun was a little surprised.

"I am the princess of Britain, and I must know the life of our British people." Princess Sophia said proudly.

Sir Greenville saw Chu Yun talking with Princess Sophia, but he had other thoughts in his mind.Anyway, Princess Sophia is unwilling to marry in Europe. If she can marry the powerful China, wouldn't it tie the two warships of Britain and China together?
