C14 There's a New Business

"Why did you urge me to go back?" Lin Chen asked Zhaocai as he sat in the car.

"I didn't urge you. The people we left at the No. 2 trading station sent us a message saying that someone else wanted to buy something." Zhaocai quickly explained, indicating that he did not mean it.

"I don't want to go to that trading station anymore. I wanted to sell the production equipment to Wu Bingjian, but this old fox is not willing to buy it. You have seen our profits from the last trip. We do not have enough energy to travel. We will lose money if we make another two trips." Lin Chen said in a dispirited manner.

This plane was the No. 1 trading station. The plane they went to the last time was the No. 2 trading station. Lin Chen no longer had much interest in that plane's Earth.

"The main reason you lost money last time was because you came back in a hurry. You must not have read the company's manual. The employee's trading station not only has the authority to trade, but the development of resources is also a very important aspect."

"A qualified arms dealer sells both sides, just like the United States here. For example, if you bring a large amount of firearms to support a country, what if he can't afford it? " Land, mineral development, these are all money. "

"Actually, that plane is most suitable for young master, this kind of person with low authority. First of all, the level of technology is very low. " The people on our ship can even destroy a country. " Then, in the era of that plane, It was normal for them to lose the cession of land as compensation. No one would blame them, unlike now that they had to find some sort of humanitarian excuse to fight. The war was over. "There is no way to cede land, and there is no way to make reparations. It is nothing more than obtaining some economic privileges and rights to mine development." Zhaocai smiled and introduced the benefits of that plane to Lin Chen.

"Now that you mention it, I feel that my thinking is indeed limited. Wu Bingjian is not willing to cooperate, so I guess he doesn't really believe that what we have is real. If I can have my own territory and develop a powerful industry, "Then this plane will become the source of my raw materials and a large factory." Hearing this, Lin Chen's eyes lit up.

"Young master finally understands. If you only rely on business to sell firearms, there is a limit to how much money you can earn. If you have a company with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of employees, how much profit can you make?" Zhaocai nodded. It seemed like Lin Chen finally understood.

"Then let's not waste any more time. Let's go!" Lin Chen said with a smile.

With the anchor point, it was very easy to travel again. The spaceship rose into the universe and soon arrived at his trading station No. 2.

"How is the situation here?" Lin Chen saw Lin Tian, the liaison he had left behind on the ship.

"It's not bad. The second day after the captain left, the British started to attack again. With our help, they destroyed the enemy's cannon formation. If it weren't for the Qing army not daring to leave the city to fight, the English army here would have been driven into the sea." Lin Tian didn't have much expression on his face as he began to report to Lin Chen.

"You said someone wanted to buy something. Who is it? What do you want to buy?" Lin Chen waved his hand and didn't let him continue. Instead, he asked about the trade.

"It's Wu Bingjian. He bought weapons." Lin Tian replied.

"This Wu Bingjian is really interesting. The weapons he sold to him last time should be enough for him." Lin Chen touched his chin and said with some doubt.

"This time he didn't buy it himself, but introduced a new customer." Lin Tian started to talk about this matter.

The people of the Southeast Coast and South Ocean settled in Kalimandan Island many times. Later, they established their own regime and called it the Lanfang Grand Rule Republic. At first, they were very strong. Later, they wanted to become a vassal of the Qing Dynasty, but they were rejected by the Qing Dynasty.

However, the Qing Dynasty agreed to their trade with the Qing Dynasty, and the Lanfang Republic claimed to be a vassal of the Qing Dynasty.

At that time, the Qing Dynasty was in the Kangan period and had a strong national power. The Dutch did not dare to openly attack, but used infiltration to slowly gain benefits. Although the Lanfang Republic was called a country, it had the nature of a club and company, and its military power was not strong enough.

The Dutch slowly became more daring. They wanted more and more things, and many local aboriginals started to want to rob them of their wealth.

In the past two years, as the Lanfang Republic made more and more money, the local aboriginals became more and more jealous. They often deliberately caused trouble. In the view of peace, the Lanfang Republic could also let it go. This also made the locals feel that the Lanfang Republic was only so-so. The Dutch East India Company also saw through the real situation of the Lanfang Republic and encouraged the locals behind it.

The previous Grand Rule, Liu Tai Er, began to lean towards the Dutch, causing internal strife in the Lanfang Republic. Many companies became independent one after another. This year's Grand Rule, Gu Liu Bo, felt that this was not the way to continue, so he sent ambassadors to the Qing Dynasty to become a vassal of the Qing Dynasty.

However, not long after the Qing Dynasty arrived, the Opium War broke out. The Qing Dynasty and the British were still busy fighting, so of course, they were not willing to pay attention to the Lanfang Republic. But the Lanfang Republic left some people in Guangzhou. First, they came to do business, and they wanted to win this war. Is it possible to talk about vassals while the Emperor is happy? However, they did not expect that the seemingly powerful Great Qing would be defeated so easily.

Just when they were disappointed, Lin Chen's appearance made the situation in Guangzhou turn for the better. These people naturally heard about Lin Chen, this merchant.

This immediately made them live. To be fair, if it was a land war, the Lanfang Republic would not be afraid of the Dutch, but the problem was that the Dutch navy was strong. Kalimantan Island was another island, and the cities were mostly by the sea. This made them afraid to start a war with the Dutch.

What really moved them were not Lin Chen's weapons, but the warships they had heard about that night. In their opinion, these warships were definitely more powerful than the Dutch. If they could buy a few, they would definitely be able to drive the Dutch out. At that time, they would be able to cut off the thoughts of the locals.

They couldn't just look for Yi Shaan, so they found Wu Bingjian. Wu Bingjian also had some understanding of the situation of the South Ocean merchants, and was willing to matchmake this matter, so he introduced Lin Tian to Lan Fang's people.

Lin Tian didn't dare to make the decision, and that was why Lin Chen had come this time.

"Nanyang is a good place." After listening to what Lin Tian said, Lin Chen said with a smile.

Nanyang was the current Island Countries in Southeast Asia. It produced oil and gold, suitable for planting rubber, and also had all kinds of precious wood. Oil and rubber were the basic resources of the modern industry. If he could take over this place, it would definitely be beneficial for his development.

"You and them set a time. We'll meet and talk. As for the location, don't be on the shore. Put down a battleship and we'll talk on the ship." Lin Chen said with a smile.

This time, apart from talking about things, he also let them see the truth. He wanted to see what his ship looked like.
