Chapter 490 Businessman, Shipwright Comes

"You're a smart guy, it's not hard to deal with people like you!"

Wang Tong didn't know whether to tell Abagon or explain it to other people in the room, so he raised his hand and ordered:
"Unbind him and give him a seat!"

The guards on the side quickly agreed and stepped forward to do so. Abagon was tied up for a while, but he was numb when he tried to stand up. He staggered there and almost fell down.

When he sat down this time, Apagon was much more cautious than before. He could feel that the young military general in front of him was different from the Ming officials he had seen in the past. , but pay more attention to practicality.

"How many days did you stay in Tianjin Wei before you filed a complaint?"

Wang Tong asked with a smile, Abagon didn't dare to neglect, got up and replied:

"Back to Elder Master, the villain has been in Tianjin Wei for a total of ten days."

Wang Tong nodded, opened his mouth and asked again:

"How many ships like the Flying Deer do you have, and how many ships do you have in your hand?"

"Back to the master, there is only one ship like the Flying Deer, and there is another ship that is a little smaller than the Flying Deer, which travels between Nanyang and Macau. Two or one-third the size, about fifteen ships."

With such capacity, this Abagon can be called a giant businessman, but his answer made Wang Tong have a complete judgment, and said in a deep voice:

"It is estimated that when you first came, you planned to file a lawsuit to get back the ship, but knowing the status of the official, this idea is gone, but Tianjin Wei is so prosperous, you must know that here is a trading business You can make a lot of money, but you are not familiar with everything, and you need such an opportunity to enter. You have been here for ten days, and you must have heard that the official is very polite and reasonable, so you want to use the method of suing to attract the official, and then find an opportunity to sell it. It's a personal favor, so you can get a chance to enter the business, right?"

Abagon listened to Wang Tong's narration. When Wang Tong said a word, he bent his waist. When Wang Tong finished speaking, he was about to kneel on the ground, but he said there without a mouth:

"My lord is wise, my lord is wise."

Wang Tong smiled and motioned the other party to sit down, and said:
"Your fleet runs from south to north once, and you can earn 5 taels. It's not important to get this boat. The key is to have the qualifications to do business here, right?"

Aba Gong nodded with a dry smile, thinking that the young military general of the Ming Dynasty was an official, he was clearly a businessman, maybe he was a Jewish businessman, and his calculations were too shrewd. Wang Tong continued:
"You had planned to give the boat to me, but when you saw me speak first, you simply took the money and gave it away, didn't you?"

A series of judgments have already seen through the other party's mind. Abagon was speechless there, just wiped his sweat with a dry smile. Tan Jiang and others in the room also looked at Wang Tong with abnormal admiration in their hearts. Some things that are confused are so clear in the eyes of adults.

"Even though it's clear, I still give you 3 taels of silver, and then give you a shop location by the Haihe River, allowing you to do business."

After being told by Wang Tong that the plan in his heart was broken, Abagon no longer had any chances, but he did not expect to have such benefits. He immediately raised his head and stared at Wang Tong impolitely. Wang Tong continued to say with a smile:

"But in the commercial firm you opened in Tianjin Wei, the official's agent must account for [-]% of the shares. You don't have to worry about it. The [-]% is not a dry stock, but a cash transaction."

Nouns such as [-]% shares and dry stocks were translated by Zhang Yubei one by one, but Apagon may not be able to understand them, but with the translation, Apagon's expression changed, and finally he opened his face. What a huge profit if Tianjinwei, Waguo, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Macau, Nanyang, and Goa in Tianzhu are connected together. It is worthwhile to exchange [-]% of the shares for the support of this young official.

What's more, the other party's [-]% is also holding the cash and the store to invest in the shares, not taking the money on the ground. A Bagong was about to give an affirmative answer, but Wang Tong said:
"I'll give you 3 taels of [-] taels of cash first, and the license to open a commercial bank will also be placed here first. You have to exchange things!"

"Need something in exchange!?"

Apagon said eagerly that in business negotiations, it is most taboo to be led by others, so that the initiative will be completely lost, but Apagon has completely ignored it.

"Your craftsmen, craftsmen who make tools and weapons, and craftsmen who can make ships, as long as they can make things that are different from Daming, and have technologies that Daming doesn't know, Tianjin Wei needs them all, and also needs professional soldiers. Professional soldiers in land and sea warfare... You find these people, and after the official verifies their value, they will be hired several times higher than their original salary. The more these people come, you will be in Tianjin The more businesses Wei can participate in, the more protection and privileges this official will give you, and the more profits you will naturally make."

After finishing his request in one breath, Zhang Yubei's translation had to be interrupted, because some words needed to be thought out before they could be organized. Fortunately, Abagon was also proficient in Chinese and could fully understand it.

But after Wang Tong finished speaking, Abagon was silent for a long time before he said slowly:

"My lord, it has been almost 15 years since the villain came to the East from his hometown. Needless to say, Goa and Nanyang are backward, but there are many advanced Ming Empires that even the villain's hometown can't keep up with. Why do you still need it so urgently? The technology and craftsmen around you?"

Wang Tong exhaled, and said in a deep voice:

"This set of things has been going on for too long, and it is getting slower and slower, without innovation, and more and more behind closed doors, so sooner or later it will completely stagnate, and new things need to be injected into it to promote its changes and speed up its changes. Only in this way can we maintain vitality and keep advancing.”

After saying this, the room was quiet for a while. Some people could understand part of it, but some could not, but they were all thinking about the meaning of Wang's call. Abagon was silent for a while, and then a smile appeared on his face. Body Shili said:
"In order to be able to cooperate with the adults, the little ones will do everything they can, hoping to have the opportunity and rights to do business in the adults' territory. The adults just said about buying ships, banks and cooperative stores. The contract is brought, can it be written and signed now."

Really a businessman, Wang Tong smiled and said:
"That's easy to say. The contract is in the style of Ming Dynasty, notarized by the government of Ming Dynasty, and someone will handle it with you."

***************
On September 25th, the Flying Deer officially became Wang Tong's private property, and the sailors from the captain Juan to the following also signed a new contract with Wang Tong, and they finally got twice the previous salary with peace of mind. And remuneration, at the same time another salary is paid for their teaching.

There are hundreds of young adults studying on the Feilu during the Haihe patrol inspection. Wang Tong has a promise that these young adults will become proficient sooner, and there will be extra bonuses waiting for them, and the future teaching will not stop.

The sailors like Juan are very happy. The most sailing of the Flying Deer is to go from the Haihe River to the outer seaside, and then come back. They don’t have to go through the hardships of the sea, and they can still get a high salary. Tianjin Wei enjoys blessings, this is a day that was never imagined before.

On the second day of October, Juan and the others were given a rare holiday. This group of foreigners thought it was a reward for them after signing the contract, and went to the street happily.

In the morning, Wang Tong led five boatmen from Shandong to the berth by the sea. Tianjinwei also has a seaport, but it was abandoned for a long time after the ban on the sea. Now several construction leaders hang around here all day, thinking about how to repair it. Reconstruction, when it is built here, sea ships can directly dock in the harbor, and the Haihe business district will be more prosperous.

The Flying Deer is leaning against the shore, and there are pedals extending from the boat to the simple pier. Tang Shan, the inspector of the Haihe Inspection Department, is waiting there. Tang inspector is now a well-known figure in Tianjin Wei, a shop company, with a boat in his hand The owner of the ship, the ship owner, who is not polite and respectful to the inspection of Tang.

If someone blocks you during the soup inspection, prevents you from unloading the ship, or strictly checks your prohibited materials, then this business will not need to be done!But today's inspector Tang is more respectful than those merchants who flatter him, because his boss's boss, Mr. Wang Tongwang, has arrived.

"Several masters, this is the fan ship."

Wang Tong stretched out his hand to introduce, and the five people standing behind him nodded slightly as they looked at the boat.

**************
The few boatmen that Wu Da found in Shandong had only had a day off after they arrived in Tianjin Wei, and they were called out by Wang Tong to come to Feilu together to watch.

These five boatmen are different from those ragged and beggar-like craftsmen in the previous workshops. Although their skin is darkened by the sea wind, they are dressed very well. According to people like Tangshan, they can build big ships and sea ships. The shipwrights and shipwrights were all well-off, and even the pirates had to be treated politely. It only took half a year to build a ship, and the salary they could get was almost equal to ten years of farming, so they were naturally rich.

Wu Da invited them to come, and he also promised various benefits. Wu Da had people from Wang Tong to accompany him, and he also had a guarantee certificate. Take a look.

After they came, Wang Tong was generous, first met ten taels of silver per person, and then stayed at Xingcai Inn, served delicious food and drinks, and ironed everything, the boatmen thought it was worth coming this time.

Being invited to see the big boat of the Fanren so soon, the boatmen probably had a judgment in their hearts, knowing that it was Mr. Wang who came to test the school's ability.

"...Fanren's boat uses a keel, and the draft is also deep. It's two ways like a Fuchuan, but it's more like a Guangzhou boat..."

"...The sails and cables, and the rudder are the most important things. Although it is complicated, as long as it is not against the wind, it is easy to control..."

After everyone finished talking in a hurry, the last elder turned around and said:
"My lord, there is a difficulty in building this boat!"
