Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 202 The First Multinational Enterprise

Zhu Zhanchang's team stayed in Temasek for a whole month before waiting for the fleet of the Guangdong vassal to come down.

The leader of the team was Wu Ying, a commander of the former commander and envoy of the Guangdong vassal. A place like Temasek must have someone who can command the army.

"My subordinate, Wu Ying, has met His Royal Highness Zhujiang County King." Wu Ying is 38 years old, just in his prime.

In the past month and a half, some pirates have also visited Temasek Island, but the Temasek under the jurisdiction of Daming is different from the one under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Malacca before. No one wants to come here to take advantage of us, and pirates are not allowed to land on the island.

After handing over the management of Temasek and supplying ammunition, Zhu Zhanchang continued to set off with the fleet and went to Java.

Java is much larger than Malacca and Siam. It is located further south, and further down is Australia. Compared with Java, Zhu Zhanchang is obviously more interested in Australia.

Java has two parts, one part borders the Kingdom of Malacca, and the other part is Java Island. There are two prosperous big cities, Old Port and Jakarta.

Among them, the old port is prosperous in maritime trade, which is almost the core of the maritime trade of the entire Southeast Asian countries, because Java opens the door to the ships that come to the old port.

However, with the opening of the sea ban in Daming, the location of the old port is too southern, and the center of gravity of the entire maritime trade will definitely move towards the north, towards Daming.

When Zhu Zhanchang and others arrived at the old port, they were not greeted by the king of Java, but by the king's younger brother, Andari, a man in his thirties.

Later, after a little inquiries, I learned that the current king of Java is seriously ill and has no children. If there is no accident, Andari will be the next king.

Leading the group to visit the old port, the merchants began to discuss business with the local firms, and they were familiar with the road, why?

When smuggling, the old port was the largest commercial and trade center. There are many ways here. Now it's just to put these ways on the bright side. Zhu Zhanchang turned one eye and closed one eye. Scale up.

Zhu Zhanchang chatted with Andari: "Prince Andari, I don't know if you understand it or not, with the continent in the south?"

"The continent in the south? Your Highness, are you talking about the island?"

"Yes, it's there."

Prince Andari briefly introduced: "His Royal Highness, it is a desolate place, not suitable for survival. Although there are some residents, the customs are wild and simple, neither weaving nor clothing, and covering their bodies with bird feathers. There is no smoke and fire to eat, only hair and blood, nests. It's just a cave."

Zhu Zhanchang didn't want people to live there, but to mine.

"Prince Andari, we call Jue Island the Australian Island. It was rumored that it is rich in minerals. I plan to set up a mining company with the King of Malacca to focus on the development of Australia's mining industry. Are you interested?"

Andari is now competing for the king's position. Although he has the greatest grasp now, it is not that there are no other competitors. He thought for a while that if he could get in touch with the Ming Dynasty at this time, it would be beneficial to him.

Moreover, he has heard about Zhu Zhanchang's acquisition of Temasek. The dozen or so warships parked in the port of the Ming Dynasty are not fake, and mutual cooperation seems to be the best choice.

"His Royal Highness, I am naturally interested, what are you going to do?"

"The old port is close to Australia. I hope to put the business in the old port. When I return to Daming, some prospectors will be sent over to go to Australia to explore the location of the minerals. After the mining is proved, the mining will be carried out. The mined minerals will be shipped to Daming. How much will it cost? How many."

This is a very stable business. Daming can be the only buyer. Of course, if someone with a high price wants it, he can also sell a little.

"I will give 20.00% to the Kingdom of Malacca. If Prince Andari is interested, I can give you 70.00%, and the remaining [-]% will go to Daming. The headquarter of the firm is located in the old port, and it is named Southeast Asia Mining Group."

"Then what do we need to do?"

"Exploration and mining, of course, are all salaried." Zhu Zhanchang then explained the details to Prince Andari, and Prince Andari was very interested.

Because they are close to Australia, although they don't fully understand, they also know the locations of the two iron mines, which have their own mining operations. Now they can be used to hug Daming's thighs, and the sales are very large.

"Your Highness, I can provide personnel to go to Australia for exploration, but can this ratio be changed? We hope to account for 40.00%."

Zhu Zhanchang shook his head: "Actually, this is not just the share of this firm, but also the share of Australia as a whole."

Prince Andari was stunned for a moment.

Zhu Zhanqian then said: "My "Daoyi Zhilue" written by Wang Dayuan once recorded the island of Australia. His Majesty the Emperor ordered me to log in and put it under the ownership of the Ming Dynasty, but I think Australia is close to Java and other countries. It’s not unreasonable, I hope to develop with you, so I can only give you 20.00%, which also means that you can occupy 20.00% of the land in Australia.”

Prince Andari believes that Australia's land is very barren, far from the richness of their Java, so people on Java Island will not want to go to Australia Island unless they can't survive.

But now Zhu Zhanchang obviously wants to develop the Australian Island, why did the people of the Ming Dynasty develop the Australian Island?
Prince Andari had a flexible mind, and after thinking about it, he still wanted 40.00%, but Zhu Zhanqian's attitude changed obviously, and Prince Andari also understood that Zhu Zhanqian was not asking for his own opinion.

The other party can put aside his own actions. Can the Ming Dynasty still be afraid that they will fail in Java, and then the Ming Dynasty warship will fall down, let alone the king, even the prince can't do it.

Finally, he smiled and agreed to Zhu Zhanchang's proposal.

Zhu Zhanchang thought about it for a long time in Temasek this time, and decided not to go to Australia this time. After all, he has not yet found out where there are minerals. He needs to send people to explore and then let them go to develop them. If he goes now, he will probably be running for nothing. trip.

The old port was busy with commerce, and Zhu Zhanchang bought the most luxurious house with a big wave in the most lively place. As the headquarters of the Southeast Asian mining group, it should be regarded as the first multinational enterprise.

The other businessmen were not idle, and they negotiated a lot of trade orders. After returning this time, the number of ships going to and from Hong Kong Port would have to double or triple.

One night before the departure and return journey, Cao Xinyue came to Zhu Zhanchang.

Zhu Zhanchang said half-mockingly, "Why did you come to see me at night, thinking about it?"

Now Cao Xinyue is basically immune to Zhu Zhanchang's molestation, of course he still blushes.

"His Royal Highness, after returning to Daming this time, I want to go back to Huzhou Mansion first."

"Ah? What's wrong? Is there something wrong at home?"

Cao Xinyue shook her head: "I just want to go back to see my mother and my grandmother."

"Oh, then I'll let the warship take you there."

"No need, Your Highness, I know the way back, and I can go back myself."

There was obviously something wrong with Cao Xinyue's tone and attitude. Zhu Zhanchang was stunned for a moment, and said to her, "Let's talk about it later."

Zhu Zhanchang had always wondered what happened to Cao Xinyue all of a sudden, but it wasn't until a long time later that he remembered that the little girl was angry and jealous.

Eat Li Xiaozhu's vinegar, eat Zara's vinegar, eat Princess Ayi's vinegar, and eat all the vinegar of the girls around Zhu Zhanchang.
