310 Governor Girl
The governor trembled and took the oysters, leaned over to his nose and closed his eyes and smelled them, and said intoxicatedly: "It's this fishy smell... oysters... I miss you for a long time..."
Fang Xian had some evil thoughts in his mind, and he quickly shook his head and waved it away.
"Governor General... aren't oysters very ordinary aquatic products? There is no here?"
The Governor nodded calmly: "Not only here... there is nothing! I forgot when I ate it."
Fang Xian was stunned for a long time, thinking about this surreal setting.
He recalled vigorously that among the trade products of the Great Voyage 4, there were almost all the food, rice, oil, salt, meat, and meat, as if there were no oysters. It must be because the trade cities were all harbors, and the oysters were too common, so they ignored it.
But it is really difficult to grasp the roughness and delicateness of the old man, and Westerners love to eat oysters.
As a result, this time, the neglect was not too thorough. His old Fang family was in the oyster water production business!
Oysters are raw oysters. At that time, Chinese people didn’t like to eat them raw. Westerners regarded them as treasures and liked the fishy smell. Of course, it also has one of the most critical functions - to strengthen aphrodisiac.
The Governor's tears told Fang Xian that this adult needed oysters very much!
The Governor once again threw a loving expression to Fang Xian, like a bar girl who had just received the jewelry, and was almost like saying that-tonight, I am yours.
Fang Xian quickly avoided the governor's gaze, looked at the heavens from afar, and gave him a gratitude.
It seems that my own settings are useless! Is this the hidden setting of choosing "Aiping World"!
The Governor continued to tentatively: "Is there any..."
Fang Xian was a little panicked. He took out his oysters and sold them. This governor girl was too hungry.
The Governor seemed to see Fang Xian's anxiety and quickly waved his hand and said, "No, it's not that. If you brought a lot of oysters over here, I can help you negotiate with the exchange and let you leave some oysters here to breed them so that this city can produce oysters in the future. Of course, this is just my personal expectation. Whether to do this depends on your intention."
"Can this be like this?" Fang Xian asked in surprise.
"Of course." The Governor was full of hope. "All port cities can produce oysters, as long as there are alive oysters that can reproduce."
"Is the sales good?" Fang Xian instinctively asked directly.
"This..." the governor hesitated for a moment and said truthfully, "To be honest, only we Westerners like to eat raw oysters. People here seem to be not very interested in oysters, which is really hard to understand."
Fang Xian then asked: "About how many Westerners are there in a port city, I want to calculate the sales route."
"This is a big floating place, and there are probably only dozens of Westerners in this small place like Jiatin. In Jakarta and Malacca, there should be hundreds, but if you are willing to go to Africa... or even the Mediterranean..."
The Governor's eyes shone with gold: "I think a warehouse of oysters can be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins. This thing may be as valuable as diamonds. We haven't eaten oysters for too long!"
Fang Xian also had a flash of inspiration when he heard this.
If you simply transport and trade, you can earn tens of thousands of dollars from here to the Mediterranean. However, tens of thousands of gold coins are really not a big money in the game.
Follow the Governor's tips. The best way is obviously to breed oysters in the port and then trade them.
Suppose that the Fang family navy came to Lisbon with live oysters, and then started breeding here, and only cultivated here, then Lisbon became the only oyster production site in the Mediterranean, monopolizing the trade rights of oysters here and sold them all over Europe...
There are many examples of this kind of thing.
The most well-known one is probably pepper. In the Middle Ages, Venetian merchants and Genoese monopolized the trade in pepper. In every meal in India, they would put waiters into Europe, but it became something like gold.
If oysters can be achieved to this extent and monopolize trade within the Mediterranean, it is probably no longer a fantasy to be rich and can match a country.
But thinking about it at the end, Fang Xian sighed.
If you want to achieve monopoly trade, you still lack one condition, that is, the cannon.
Even if the occupation of a port is increased to 100%, making it impossible for others to trade here, there are several ways to break this monopoly. Other forces can seize the ownership by making rumors, saying bad things, bribing the governor, or even directly opening wars to shell the port. If oysters can really be as expensive as gold, then there should be very... a lot of forces to seize the oyster trade.
Thinking of this, Fang Xian couldn't help but love and hate these oysters.
I love it and hate it too much...
The rash development of oyster aquatic products is like putting a piece of fresh meat in a pack of wolves. Other forces will definitely flock to you after they smell it. I am afraid that the Fang family will have to receive the cannon gift in advance before they have not made much money.
To make money from it, you must ensure that you have the ability to keep it and build an invincible fleet.
This kind of fleet does not exist in theory, and the closest thing to it is undoubtedly the full battleship shooting cannon fleet, and the cost of a fleet is almost tens of millions.
"Oh..." Fang Xian sighed, "Pain, too painful, unbearable, too unbearable..."
Although the Governor was Western in blood, he was very open-minded in his thinking and was really treated equally. He seemed to see Fang Xian's distress and seemed very depressed.
"I personally hope that you will disclose the breeding and trade of oysters, but I understand that you are a merchant." The Governor shook his head. "But I still want to remind you selfishly that sometimes you should not be too greedy. Since you can bring oysters, then there is obviously a place that will produce oysters."
Fang Xian was suddenly shocked and his hometown of the Fang family - Macau!
The Governor woke up again for Fang Xian.
The Qing Dynasty is now closed to the country and does not engage in foreign trade, so only Fang Xian knows about oysters for the time being.
If you don’t trade, Westerners will force you to trade... One day, fleets of countries will sail into East Asia, Yizhou, and Macau will fall one by one. Once Macau falls into the hands of Westerners, oysters will no longer be their own exclusive product. This huge diamond will basically have nothing to do with you. What remains is the battle between fleets of countries around Macau.
"I'm not waiting for time, I'm not waiting for time..." Fang Xian sighed, thinking about the ship's full of goods, and felt very sorry. In the current situation, he would no longer dare to dump oysters for a little money. He would rather destroy all of these oysters than let more people know about this thing.
The Governor was really a smart guy. Seeing Fang Xian's appearance, he became even more depressed.
Fang Xian hesitated for a while and asked, "Governor, can I trust you?"!~!
