Looking at the faces full of hope downstairs.

Looking at them one after another is full of burning adoration eyes.

Li Yuanqing suddenly remembered the scene when moustache stood on the high platform in Berlin, facing millions of jubilant German soldiers.

As Li Taibai said: "life must be happy when you are satisfied."

However, Li Yuanqing was not dazzled by the morale.

History has proved many times that those who have a high opinion and a low hand, even if they can get a temporary storm, are doomed to ~ ~, unable to hold on to the end, and can only become the stepping stone of others.

Although the dream is wonderful, he must first stabilize the situation and balance the interests of all parties, so that his Pan Pacific Trading Company can have a piece of land, take root, sprout and grow.

After all, it has been rooted in the Western powers for a hundred years.

In terms of navigation technology, naval experience, equipment and basic training of running dogs, they were far from being able to compete with Li Yuanqing at this time.

It's OK to light a sword or make your own voice!

However, this must be done in a way that balances not only the interests of Western powers, but also the interests of these Chinese businessmen.

Li Yuanqing took a deep breath of his cigar and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. He turned over with a smile and looked at several people on the table: "gentlemen, maybe what I said just now is not clear enough! At this point, I would like to repeat my position on many Southeast Asian affairs, as well as the position of the Ming Empire behind me! "

All the people on the table looked at Li Yuanqing one after another, and dare not let go of Li Yuanqing's face even a tiny detail.

Li Yuanqing laughed and said, "the Pan Pacific Trading Company will be the official organization of Daming in Southeast Asia. This basic point will never be allowed to waver! However, this does not mean that the Pan Pacific Trading Company will monopolize the commercial routes from Daming to Southeast Asia. As a matter of fact, we all know that our Ming Dynasty is a million miles of rivers and mountains, millions of people, and wealth can almost surpass the whole world! It is almost impossible to monopolize all the business of such a huge empire! "

Hearing Li Yuanqing's words, several people on the table suddenly expressed different expressions.

However, they all understand people. No one will be uninteresting at this time and interrupt Li Yuanqing's thinking. They are all quietly waiting for Li Yuanqing's following.

Li Yuanqing took another sip of his cigar and said, "in fact, you are all top experts in the field of maritime trade. You know a lot about many things. For example, piracy and smuggling can not be stopped by any country or government! I, including the Ming Empire behind me, are the same. In the past, officials of all countries focused on cracking down on such matters. But according to my experience, it is not good to attack blindly and achieve good results! "

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if you have heard of such a story, a sage, in our Daming and ancient Chinese legends! One year there was a big flood, and it was going to be a real disaster. All the people would try their best to block it, but the effect was very poor! Not only did the flood not weaken, but it became more and more intense! Finally, a sage named Dayu was sent to the front line of flood control. He did not choose the method of his predecessors, with desperate to block to treat the flood, but chose sparse! It is to dredge the flood of rivers and direct the main current to the sea! "

Li Yuanqing said, smiling at a few people on the table.

Francesco, Peter, William Lee, as well as morentes, were able to perform the duties of "brokers" largely because they had a good understanding of Southeast Asia.

Because there are so many Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia, they are the main "porters" of wealth. It is also an important task for them to understand the Chinese and their culture.

However, due to various reasons, they can not deeply understand the political and economic system of China, but this classic story, if they do not understand it, it can only show that they are unqualified.

"General Li, you are the story of Dayu's flood control?"

"Ha ha. pretty good! Mr. William Lee, you are indeed an elite of Chinese descent

Li Yuanqing smiles and praises William Li, but the boy also has a little look, so that he will not be cold.

After all, it's a little bit like casting pearls before swine to talk about Chinese allusions with these white haired monkeys, but it will be much easier for William Li to take over this argument.

But William Lee was a little embarrassed. He laughed and stopped talking.

Li Yuanqing laughed: "the core of this story is that blocking is better than sparing. This is also true of the maritime trade between Southeast Asia and Daming. At least, I think so! Therefore, the Pan Pacific Trading Company will not only not monopolize the business routes from Daming to Southeast Asia, but also encourage and support capable Chinese businessmen to better participate in the sea trade between Daming and Southeast Asia! We, the Pan Pacific Trading Company, will, to the greatest extent, provide help, protection and support to these Chinese businessmen. "

As soon as Li Yuanqing said this, the bottom suddenly burst into a pot, a burst of discussion.These Chinese businessmen have never dreamed of it!

Instead of banning smuggling, Li Yuanqing encourages and advocates such things to happen. This is really

Hearing the discussion below, William Li grasped the core of the matter and said with some displeasure: "General Li, can I think so? In the business routes of Daming and Southeast Asia, you only allow Chinese and Chinese businessmen to do this business, but we white people can't participate in it? Is this not a disguised monopoly? "

Francesco and Peter are also staring at Li Yuanqing, and morrentes is also very nervous.

Of course, he understood that once Li Yuanqing's words were released, it would be a blowout of wealth!

Although he is now under the control of Li Yuanqing, he still has the blood of Spanish people. He also wants the master behind him to participate in this affair and share a share of the share!

Maybe it can offset his mistakes in the battle of Jack the executioner!

Li Yuanqing laughed: "Sir William Li, I think you may have misunderstood my meaning! I did not say that you Westerners can not participate in Daming's maritime trade. However, as you all know, Daming has a vast territory, complex terrain, cultural customs and other aspects, there are also great differences! In particular, there are many pirates along the coast, because before, perhaps, there are some misunderstandings that are not easy to explain. They have strong hostility to you Westerners! Of course, it's just my opinion! If you want to participate, just sign appropriate trade agreements with local governments and pay taxes. Personally, I am very willing to see such a competitive economic system emerge! "

"Grass!"

"This dog is a bastard!"

Francesco spat in his heart.

This humble yellow haired monkey, does he want to play monkey?

Obviously, they are not allowed to go to Daming! This is obviously to support the Pirates of Ming Dynasty in plundering Western merchant ships!

As the governor of Portugal in Malacca, Francesco is the official supreme ruler of Portugal in East and Southeast Asia.

Because of Macao, he also knew some Ming culture.

Of course, he knew what would become of those obnoxious Ming pirates once they got the official authorization!

Even if they are backward in equipment, they can't bear it. They are just like cannibal ants and piranhas! It can't be killed and destroyed forever!

Thinking with his buttocks, he can also guess that once this matter takes shape, in the future, this maritime golden trade road will definitely become a nightmare for westerners!

However, the commodities of Daming, whether tea, silk, or porcelain, are of the highest level in today's world, and they are also popular commodities and luxury goods. As the official representative of the Ming Dynasty, Li Yuanqing himself has the absolute dominant power in this field.

Even if Francesco was unhappy, it was hard to find a reason to argue against it.

After all, in Southeast Asia, in the Indian Ocean, in Africa, in the new world, don't they all do that?

Peter was also thoughtful. For a moment, he said, "my dear General Li, I don't have much objection to this matter. This is the business way and the rights and interests of your wise people! However, what I want to know is, if such a huge market is opened up, how can your Pan Pacific Trading Company differentiate and distinguish the quality grades of its goods? "

Li Yuanqing laughed: "Mr. Peter, this question is very good! This is also the core point that I am going to focus on! Opening up the sea trade does not mean that there is no order! You should know that in Daming, there are many kinds of factories and workshops! These factories and workshops will produce countless kinds of commodities every year, but we, Daming, need only a small part of them. This makes, there will be a great deal of waste! "

"But I also know clearly that in Europe, in Southeast Asia, including the Indian Ocean, and in Arabia, not only nobles are fond of tea, silk and porcelain of Daming. Many ordinary people also like it very much. Even, many of Daming's low-grade porcelain can become their heirloom! Now, what we need to do is change this situation! "

"At this time, I can be responsible, at the same time, it is a solemn commitment! The products of Pan Pacific Trading Company will be the best quality goods of Daming! Whether it's porcelain, tea or silk! Of course, it also includes all kinds of world's top rare medicinal materials in Liaoning Province! All of these will be purchased from official or large-scale guaranteed factories! As for those products with a little lower grade, let's leave them to the people of Daming! I believe that they will handle these things properly! "

At this time, the Chinese and Chinese businessmen at the bottom understood what Li Yuanqing meant. They couldn't help cheering!

Li Yuanqing's words are like opening a window for them and pointing out their direction!

The most important thing is that this is not in conflict with the affairs of the Pan Pacific Trading Company. They are complementary to each other!Several people on the table also fell into deep thinking.

Li Yuanqing has already considered everything thoroughly. Even if they want to refute, it is difficult for them to find a chance to refute!

At this time, William Lee suddenly said: "General Li, I personally admire your plan! It's a genius plan! However -- "

his words suddenly changed:" as far as I know, in Daming, especially in the southeast coastal areas of Daming, the pirates headed by Nikolai Zheng monopolized the vast majority of the business routes from the Ming Empire to Southeast Asia. What do you think about this? "
