Chapter 281 Monkey Edition Arms
These guys listened to the series of numbers reported by Yu Xiaotian, especially the warriors in the navy and the military system, whose eyes were widened. Now they only know how to take their men to practice and go out to work as ordered, or patrol, or patrol the passing ships. In short, they only care about themselves. They pay little attention to what is under their eyes and what makes money.
Anyway, there are the director and Yu Xiaotian. At the beginning of every month, they just wait to get the pay. As for where the money comes from, they never care much about it.
Now I heard that if you sell cannons, there will be such a high profit. The eyes of these guys suddenly widened. I didn't expect that this business would come with such money now. According to what Yu Xiaotian said, this business seems to be possible!
Hearing Yu Xiaotian say that the business of selling cannons is so profitable made these guys a little stunned. Liu Laoliu, who had never spoken, still spoke to Xiaotian and said to Xiaotian, "Big boss, according to you, it seems that selling cannons really makes money! This should not be fake, and the brothers of the director should also know it!
But the main reason why the big guys just objected is that if we sell these powerful guys, once one day someone takes the guys we sold to them and turn around and deal with us, won't it become a joke?
So this is the reason why everyone opposes it. The big boss won't really want to sell us housekeepers at a price!"
As soon as everyone heard this, Liu Laoliu's words were the key points. They all wanted to know how to solve this matter if Yu Xiaotian wanted to sell guns.
After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian asked Liu Laoliu to sit down and talk. There was a treacherous smile on the corners of his mouth and said with a relaxed face, "This thing is simple! We can sell the monkey version of the cannon!"
When everyone heard the word monkey version for the first time, they were confused and confused for a moment. They could only stare at Yu Xiaotian stupidly and wait for Yu Xiaotian to explain to them.
Yu Xiaotian knew that these people certainly did not understand what the monkey version meant, so he smiled and said to them, "The so-called monkey version actually means shrinking.
Of course, I can't take out our most powerful thing and give it away! We can sell guns, but the guns sold are definitely not better than our own!
For example, the No. 3 gun we use is definitely different from the No. 3 gun for takeout. The No. 3 gun we want to sell seems to be similar to our No. 3 gun, but we can make the wall thinner so that the charge is not too large, the barrel is slightly shorter, and the range is closer than our own. Wei The power is also smaller than ours!
As for *! This is even simpler. I won't sell our current own flint, and I won't sell any other short guns in your waist now!
But we can sell bird guns, the kind with fire rope. At present, no one in the Ming Dynasty doesn't know the power of birds, so we sell bird guns, and some people will still squeeze their heads to buy them. We use flult guns. One day someone will use bird guns to hit us. Are you still afraid that they can't do it?
This is what I mean by the monkey version. In short, we can sell it, but we can't sell the best things to others. We always need to shrink a little! Do you understand?"
After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, everyone finally understood Yu Xiaotian's intention this time. Yu Xiaotian is interested in the current demand for firearms by various forces along the coast. He wants to get a piece of the huge benefits, but he will not bring the big killers that the sea wolf relies on for a living to the table, but People choose.
And Yu Xiaotian has already made a plan, that is, to take out several things specially used to make money and cheat money outside. In this way, there is nothing to worry about. Although they sell cannons, the guys in their hands are more powerful than those sold to others, so naturally everyone does not What's your opinion?
The people in the board changed their minds quickly and immediately realized how much benefits this business might bring to them. Although now their sea wolves have gained a lot after the battle of Chu Cai, they also delayed a lot of sea wolves' business before this battle, and the losses were not small. After two offsets, in fact The sea wolf doesn't earn much.
And Yu Xiaotian is now determined to continue to spend a lot of money, recruit troops, divide the workshop*, build new workshops and boat houses in chicken cages and freshwater, and continue to recruit immigrants. The financial expenditure of the governing hall is under great pressure. With these existing transactions alone It made them feel stretched.
Now Yu Xiaotian wants to do the arms business, which naturally opens another way for them. If it hadn't been for the initial fear that these cannons might be sold, they might be used to deal with their sea wolves, the board of directors would certainly not have objected.
Now after Yu Xiaotian solved their puzzles, Zhao Mazi and others in the board of directors immediately raised their hands and feet to agree. In the past, military weapons were among their sea wolves, but they had to invest a large amount of money every month to purchase copper and iron and feed hundreds of craftsmen, accounting for a large part of the expenditure of sea wolves. Cost.
Nowadays, once they can sell cannons, the military weapons institute may change the past when it was not profitable to spend money, and if it is not done well, it may become a way for the council to make a lot of money.
Even if these gun workshops in the military equipment can't make money, just taking care of their expenses, the people in the governing hall will be grateful, which is equivalent to letting them get rid of a huge financial burden, which is undoubtedly a great good news for them.
So this matter was driven by Xiaotian, and finally got the support of everyone, but the navy and soldiers still had some opinions on this.
Because they currently want to expand their strength and increase manpower and ships. Although Yu Xiaotian said that the guns sold will not be better than their own use, after all, this still needs to occupy their production capacity. The more they sell, the fewer new guns they get. These warriors are a little dissatisfied with this.
In the end, Yu Xiaotian still promised them that even if they did this business, they would sell it to the outside world only under the premise of ensuring that the quantity of monthly delivery would not be reduced. Then these guys closed their mouths.
With the restart of various affairs after the war, Nanri Island became busy again. After defeating Chu Cailao, many sea merchants began to trust the sea wolf more. Another group of new merchants brought ships to Nanri Island, and some came here to deliver goods. Some of them simply rented land here and began to build their business houses, and they also started to do business here.
Nanri Island is relatively close to the land, close to Xinghua Prefecture and Fuzhou Prefecture, and it is also on the main coastal north-south traffic road. In addition, it is not under the actual control of the land government. Most of the sea merchants are interested in this and are willing to come here to do business.
In addition, although the sea wolf wants to pump some water in their business, the rules of the sea wolf are very good. Except for the clear water pumping, the sea wolf department will never allow the opportunity to blackmail the merchants who come here to do business, so it seems that the sea wolf pump a lot of water, but in essence it is better than their land business. The cost is much lower.
In this way, after the hot weather after May, the number of merchant ships coming to Nanri Island to trade has become more and more, and even Japanese people in Japan have heard the news and gone to Nanri Island to collect goods and transport them back to Japan for sale. Some Ryukyu merchants from Ryukyu, including some Ryukyu merchants, also began to appear on Nanri Island and came here to reverse each other. Kind of goods.
For a while, Nanri Island began to become extremely busy, and the pier in the warehouse area had almost no rest all day long. There were non-stop boats to rely on the trestle to get off the goods, which made the Nanri Island warehouse area noisy and lively.
The sea wolf is happy to see the success, because whenever a boat comes, the sea wolf will draw some water from the cargo. The more merchant ships come here to do business, the more they will draw.
And after the business in the warehouse area got better, it also drove some surrounding industries. The business of restaurants and brothels was booming. Looking at such a good business, the people in the director's hall began to move their index fingers.
So the director proposed to Yu Xiaotian that it was better for them to do this business and make money back than to watch the money earned by several restaurants and brothels on the island.
Yu Xiaotian didn't care much about these businesses. Although he knew that the skin industry was very profitable, he always felt that he was a little uncomfortable to work in the pirate industry and make this money, but after listening to the opinions of the board of directors, his mind also began to move.
Spring selling has existed since ancient times, and it is also an ancient industry that has never been banned in this society. Wherever there is a business or a large number of men, there will be such a demand market, and naturally someone will come to do this business.
In the past, when the sea wolf did not arrive at Nanri Island, in order to solve the physiological problems of the subordinates, they bought some * from the land, using the name of the naval wolf's internal prostitutes as a reward to encourage the subordinates to do a good job.
Although now, because of the two brothels in the business warehouse area on the island, the sea wolf department has another way to vent, and the sea wolf has cancelled the internal official prostitutes, but now it seems that this business is still quite good.
Yu Xiaotian's most important thing is to take a fancy to such a brothel. For the ability to collect information, guests from south and north often chat in the brothel or reveal something by the pillow of *, so among all industries, brothels are undoubtedly the best place to inquire about various news.
Therefore, considering that the sea wolf will become bigger and bigger in the future, and the intelligence demand for all aspects will become higher and higher. Previously, it only relied on Maoshengyuan to inquire about the news on land, but now it can't meet the needs of the sea wolf, so the board of directors proposed to build a one on Nanri Island that belongs to him. The brothels run by ourselves also meet Yu Xiaotian's needs for collecting intelligence.
After thinking of this, Yu Xiaotian agreed to the director's proposal and allowed the director to intervene in the business.
As for how the director's office does it, he doesn't want to care too much. Anyway, at present, among the thousands of his subordinates, there are three schools and nine schools that have done everything in the past, and there are many people who have done this industry to handle this matter.
And at present, Mao Shengyuan's business in various parts of the land is quite booming, and the road is quite wide. There is still no big problem to search for some beautiful prostitutes to do skin and meat business on Nanri Island.
