Ding Xiu stood at the pier. He was surrounded by all the members of the fire brigade. After he had gained some benefits, he eagerly and confidently said to the ecstatic players,"Brother; Guys! I have a proposal!"
However, there were very few people who responded to him. The players just ignored his words and passed by him one by one.
It was human nature to want to spend money when they had money. The players who had just earned a small sum of money could not wait to enter the port town to take a look, play, and admire the port town with a Ming Dynasty style.
Meanwhile, the old lecher players had already activated their old lecherous instincts and wanted to spend money to buy some adult experiences. After all, no matter how imbalanced Da Ming's sex ratio was, there would always be places like the red light district and flower street in Stupid Port.
"Brothers, I know that all of you have silver in your pockets, but have you ever thought about it? You've spent all the money today. What are you going to do in the future?”
"Let's go rob pirates. Pirates are our ATMs.”someone casually said.
"This time, we were lucky to encounter a small group of pirates. If we encountered more than twenty ships, we wouldn't be able to win even if we used suicide fire attacks.
"Then we'll work for the Zheng family. They're so generous, they definitely need strong fighters like us.
Ding Xiu shook his head disapprovingly." Hehe, it's too young and too simple. Zheng Zhihu rewarded us generously to set an example. In the future, whoever sees the Zheng family in trouble will not have any worries and will decisively rescue them. However, if you really become his underling, will he give you a generous reward?”
"Probably not." Mo Li stood up and said," The Zheng Corporation is not a good company. They are a group of profit-based family businesses.
They rewarded you generously to make use of you. This was like a capitalist painting a big cake for you. They started to ask about your well-being. Once you fell for the bait, you would work overtime for free and your salary would be deducted. If you didn't obey, you would lose the company at the very least, and in the worst case, you would be imprisoned for half a year.
"Yes, that's right! There's no future in being a wage earner!" Ding Xiu waved his arms in the air, as if a conductor was waving his baton to make a prelude to music." If we want endless wealth, we must rely on our own hands to create it!
Everyone understood that it was better to be straightforward than to have a moment of pleasure. No one wanted to have fun and suddenly lose their wallet. That would be so disappointing. Therefore, more and more players gathered." How do we create it?"”
"I have something to say. Please listen carefully.”Ding Xiu pretended to keep everyone in suspense and whetted everyone's appetite. In the end, he was kicked in the butt by Dade, and he staggered and almost fell.
"Nonsense, spit it out!”Dade said unhappily.
" My proposal is very simple. It is to imitate the Dutch East India Company and establish an East India Company that belongs to us Chinese. In order to rob pirates, we need to recruit more sailors and soldiers. In order to accommodate more players, we need to expand our fleet. In order to expand our fleet, we need to transport high-profit goods. In order to protect our interests, we need to buy firearms and cannons…
Any region, any goods, as long as we can make money, we can sell them!
Make money, buy ships, recruit people, buy guns and cannons. Our company's ships will be spread all over Asia, and even the world. We will use the guns in our hands to plow the soil for our business empire.
Brothers, imagine our glorious future. We will replace the European colonists in the world. We should have become the leader of the world's powers. We are the stars of tomorrow, the strongest business empire in China!”
Ding Xiu paused for a moment. He swiped his right hand in the air a few times as if he was clicking on a virtual window. An ancient invitation letter in the style of parchment appeared on the screen.[Join Huayang Trading Company. Let's create a brand new business empire!]]
After Ding Xiu finished his speech, he left time for all the players to think.
The players who were deep in thought looked around
- Ships from all over the world docked at the port, or unloaded raw silk, cloth, pig iron, porcelain, or transported rice, rattan, deerskin, and Chinese herbs from the warehouse of the merchant house to the ship.
The port town of considerable size was bustling with people. Busy laborers moved goods between the port and the town. A narrow mud street was busy and noisy. Cows mooed, horses neighed, chickens crowed, and dogs barked.
The farmers drove their cattle and mules past the mud streets. The cow dung left behind piled up by the roadside to form a pile of dung, and they could smell a stuffy smell. The poor farmers wanted to sell the old cow that they had relied on for many years, but they were reluctant to part with it. Peddlers peddle along the street, or sell sweets
The middle-aged man picked up the candied fruit and handed it to the buyer, or the farmer who bought the chicken and sold the duck negotiated with the passers-by.
Nearby aborigines came to the Han town in groups to barter. They carried their prey and deerskin to trade with the Han merchants. If they could exchange for the expected food and salt, they would say thank you in the Han accent.
Street performers from the Ming Dynasty would only ask for a few copper coins from the few spectators to make a living. As soon as the poor refugees set foot on the land of the stupid port, they would have to worry about filling their stomachs. Those who had some strength could do manual labor or do odd jobs for others to make a living.
As for the refugees who had no skills and no strength to work, they could not stand the hunger for days. They could only kneel on the street and sell their goods, allowing others to comment and point at them.
Looking at this port town with mixed feelings, the players couldn't help but sigh. This was a turbulent era, and it was also an era of beasts where European colonists forcefully occupied the world's resources and used the blood of other races to accumulate primitive capital.
The law of the jungle was the truth of the world in this era. Others were developing rapidly around them, and if you stayed where you were, you would be lagging behind. One day, the enemy would drive iron ships and cannons to knock open your country.
The world was like a jungle of wild beasts. There were only so few territories and so little prey. If you wanted to eat more, you could only snatch food from others. The survival space of the Chinese people had to be fought for by the Chinese themselves!
Even if this was just a hardcore realistic game, it was the best consolation for history lovers to be able to make up for the regrets of history in such a realistic game.
"I'm in!" "Count me in!"
"I'm the man who wants to become the Pirate King!”
"Defeat the European colonists and seize Australia and North America!”
"Overturn the great powers and become the overlord!
" I call the shots for the Asian League!"
"Hua Yang Trading Company will make the world tremble!”
In the game world, year 1629, at the end of November, Hua Yang Trading Company was officially established. The starting capital was 10,000 taels of silver and the company had 88 members.
No one saw that the moment they witnessed the establishment of Huayang Trading Company, Ding Xiu turned his back to all the players and drew a few lines in the air. Then, an imperceptible snicker appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if Ye Shenyue's soul had possessed him.
A notification window that only he could see popped up in front of him.
The mission to establish Hua Yang Trading Company has been completed. Reward: 1000 achievement points. Best item recommended: 19th century high-pressure steam engine.
"Guild Leader!" Mo Li's voice sounded behind him. Ding Xiu thought that someone had discovered his little secret. After a short moment of panic, he returned to his usual cheeky smile.
"What happened?"
"There are many sailors running towards the dock. They seem to be boarding the ship.”Mo Li pointed to the shore.
Ding Xiu looked in the direction of his finger. Indeed, there were many sailors from the Ming Dynasty rushing to the dock.
One of the players stopped a sailor who was in a hurry but could not hide his excitement and asked him what had happened.
