Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 69 I Miss the Entire Westpac Corporation

"If Governor Rotoni is interested in my proposal, then I will talk about my conditions."

"Australia Island is an inalienable territory of my Qing Dynasty. For the convenience of trade, I can allow the Portuguese to live here, but I can only give you the right to live temporarily. Judicial, taxation, and garrison powers must be withdrawn."

"Of course, we also know that there are many pirates at sea. You Portuguese also have your own culture and customs. If you don't garrison troops, your life and property safety cannot be guaranteed."

"So, I would suggest that the imperial court transfer the lease object of Australia Island to the West Pacific Company we are about to establish. Of course, the West Pacific Company also has its own army, and of course protects the company's members. This has nothing to do with national sovereignty. .”

After thinking for a long time, Luo Dongni asked a key question: "How many shares will this newly established West Pacific Company give me?"

"If the plan goes well and everyone from the Far East of the East India Company can be brought on board, based on the island of Australia, I can only give you [-]% of the shares at most. If you can help me get my colleagues from Portuguese India and even the Spaniards from Manila If you get on board, I will consider giving you two to thirty percent."

"Of course, we will also issue stocks like the East India Company. If you are not satisfied with the shareholding ratio, you are completely free to buy and sell stocks."

Luo Dongni lowered his head and pondered for a while when he heard the words, then nodded seriously, and said: "Master Zhongtang, you are indeed a remarkable person, although I can't give you an answer right now, I need to discuss with my colleagues, but I am very interested in your vision. You are ushering in a great era. I am honored to be able to entertain such a wise lord as you today. If possible, you can temporarily stay on Ao Island for a few days, my lord. Play around and wait for my answer."

"No problem, Governor Rotoni, you are also a very good friend. I look forward to the day when we officially become partners instead of enemies."

Compared with the company system created by the Dutch East India Company, the concept put forward by Liu Dapao is undoubtedly more advanced. Multinational companies, at the level of capital, are undoubtedly a big step forward, and can be regarded as an upgraded version of the company. .

Although from the underlying logic, multinational companies are really like bastards, and their nature is more than a hundred times worse than that of the Dutch East India Company. The so-called Mars perspective and global enterprises are essentially downplaying The attributes of one's own country and nation naturally conflict with the interests of the country, and it is impossible for a company to exist independently without the country. , to deeply bind power, which often crosses national boundaries.

Of course, no matter how large a multinational company is in modern society, its relative strength cannot catch up with one percent, or even one thousandth, of the Dutch East India Company. There can no longer be an East India Company with a multinational background, otherwise, maybe the whole world will be buried with the madness of capital.

But in this era, business is a synonym for barbarism, a company has just emerged, and everyone has not had time to see its evil era, an era where there are basically no so-called business rules, why can't such a multinational company Born in your own hands?
As for the shareholding ratio, Liu Dapao didn't care that much. In essence, this West Pacific company has no major shareholders in the true sense. Although the Dutch hold the most shares, the Dutch are not monolithic at all. A shareholder is a separate individual, and on his own side, although the shares in essence belong to every chamber of commerce of the Qing Dynasty participating in the maritime trade, each chamber of commerce has many big businessmen involved in it.

But these Westerners obviously don't know what the public power in their hands means to those businessmen for the Chinese.

At least in this era, as the general manager of Chaozhou, I don’t need any means to hold all the shares of Daqing, and this kind of primitive company has no business rules at all. I am a modern person, engaged in business and stocks, If you still can't handle these ancient people, then just buy a piece of tofu and kill yourself.

According to the securities law of later generations, just do the things that are not allowed there one by one.

Give him ten years, and he is sure that the company will be completely surnamed Liu.

If the plan really goes well, the matter of the Dutch wanting to cede Xiamen will naturally be resolved. After all, I am the major shareholder of West Pacific Corporation. This company can also be regarded as a multinational joint venture between China, Portugal, and the Netherlands. Just garrison.

Taking a step back, if I can successfully dig the corner of the Dutch East India Company, the national strength of the Netherlands itself will inevitably decline further, and the outcome of the fourth Anglo-Dutch war should not change. The coalition forces will still capture the Netherlands, and by then...

The people of the country can renege on their debts, why can't they do it themselves?
A businessman without his motherland is still a der!
As far as he is concerned, the West Pacific company, which has already had a horoscope, is the way out he found for himself.

After all, for the matter of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, it cannot be said that the chances of winning are not great, it can also be said that there is little hope.

With such a West Pacific company, when things are unavoidable, it is a big deal to flee overseas. If you enter, you can accumulate strength, enter the customs in reverse, and if you retreat, you can colonize the undeveloped Australia and become a real foreigner. King, the founder of the country, why not do it? (In fact, the Australian route was opened up by the Dutch long ago, but they didn't pay attention to it, and later became a British colony)

I just don’t know how much stock capital the businessmen in Chaozhou can contribute. To be honest, the land of the Central Plains has just undergone a change of dynasty at this time. Liu Dapao is really afraid that they will not be able to pay, or that the money they have given is too little. The shareholders of the Dutch East India Company looked down on them.

Hey, I don't know how the situation in Chaozhou is now when I'm not here.

With such emotions, I played on Ao Island for a few more days, and then received a report from someone from Chaozhou that something serious happened at home.
