Chapter 309 The strength of the coachman at sea

Just when Hou Fangyu was a little confused, the Dutch businessman finally raised his sign.

"One and three million taels of silver."

After all, they were the sea coachman of this era, and they paid more ruthlessly, and many people were excluded.

If there was a Fortune Magazine in this era, the Dutch East India Company should be the largest business group in this era.

One million taels of silver are not a small amount for a country, but for the Dutch East India Company, they can fully obtain it.

And they were extremely easy to take it out. During the long-term colonial rule, they didn't know how much wealth they had plundered, so whenever they encountered such a treasure, they must take it into their pockets.

The British looked at the representatives of the Dutch East India Company in extreme horror, including French merchants, and seemed to have no chance of getting along with this pair of vases. The French's psychological price was 1.2 million taels of silver, but now it has exceeded 100,000 silver.

The French businessman shook his head helplessly, and at this moment he had to choose to give up. Although this thing is very good, he can make a lot of profit after transporting it back.

But this thing has great risks after all. No matter how well you package it, it is hard to say whether you will encounter wind and waves or something on the road. If you encounter wind and waves, it means you have lost all your money.

"We Spanish merchants offer one million and a half million taels."

The Spanish businessman stood up.

"I protest, you don't have that much money at all, you are clearly talking nonsense."

Everyone is doing business on this land, and they basically know how strong the other party is.

Although Spanish merchants have been doing business in this place for a long time, they have not been very large. Generally speaking, they are just small-scale fights and they can't afford that much money at all.

"If we add our money, do you think we can't get it?"

Hou Fangyu also thought this was a matter. When he was about to inquire, the Portuguese businessman next to him stood up. It turned out that the two families had combined one, and the two families had made up the money together, of course, they could have taken out so much money.

Hou Fangyu will no longer have any trouble. No matter how you trade in private, as long as you can put the money here, this thing will be yours.

Now it has reached 1.5 million silver, and it can be sold at the price that His Royal Highness said.

"One million taels of silver, if you have more money, then you can just take it away."

The representative of the Dutch East India Company said angrily, and directly quoted his highest price. After he reported the price, the people present did not say anything.

Is it the Dutch East India Company that is rich and powerful to compete until the end, or is it that others can have such ability...

Of course, there is a reason why the Dutch East India Company is determined to win this thing. It will soon be the Queen of Dutch’s birthday. They must send this thing back to Europe before the Queen of Dutch’s birthday.

Then the rumors here have passed. The Dutch East India Company spent 1.7 million taels of silver to get a birthday gift for the Queen of Dutch. The Queen of Dutch would also feel very proud. At that time, I would just give them some official documents casually. Wouldn't this thing be earned?

And then again, this thing is now worth 1.7 million taels of silver. After being shipped to Europe, everyone can understand the specific value of this thing. At that time, the favor given by this person was enough, and the Queen of Dutch might be even happier.

“Is no one bid?”

Although Hou Fangyu knew that this was the final transaction price, he still asked according to the example. If someone joined forces with a few merchants to stand up at this time, wouldn’t he have to collect hundreds of thousands of cars of silver less?

The hammer finally fell down, and no one else offered a higher price. This thing is now owned by the Dutch East India Company.

After an auction, everyone was sweating profusely.

The seller was afraid that his things would not be sold at the price and ended up being filthy. The buyer was very happy to see the things in his hands, but some people could not live without the pair of vases. If they could buy them back, they would never have to go out to sea in their entire lives.

The handover was handled very quickly, and their money had been shipped, so the handover was soon completed by the official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When they arrived, the ship was full of silver, and when they left, they were all the porcelain left.

The whole afternoon, Hou Fangyu didn't know how he spent it, and he was mechanically testing the money.

If the Ministry of Revenue collects taxes, it would be very normal to have millions of silver, but we only sold a few vases here and already had so much money. Is there any better money in the world than this?

Actually, if you think about it carefully, His Royal Highness has made a lot of efforts in this work, especially the word "royal" and the words "royal" are made, and the things that come out are all good things, so that you can sell them at a good price.

It seems that the office has to keep an eye on it and let them create better things so that they can alleviate the current financial crisis.

"Sir, Lord Zhang is still waiting for you in the film store."

Hou Fangyu stretched out and then remembered that Zhang Shenyan was still waiting by the side. He hurried over, but he didn't dare to let this old master wait for too long. If it was passed on to the Shilin, he would be in trouble.

"Don't worry, Lord Zhang, there is absolutely no problem with the money this time. I cannot disclose how much it costs, but there is absolutely no problem with the money of fifty schools. If Lord Zhang is ready, he can come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs tomorrow and I will immediately raise the money for you."

Regarding some state secrets, Hou Fangyu still understands what should be said and what should not be said.

What we need here is to make a fortune in silence, rather than to show off the limelight. Once the limelight comes out, there will probably be bad things, so it is better to be low-key regardless of anything you do.

"Don't be busy or not, sit down."

Zhang Shenyan touched his beard and said, "Hou Fangyu didn't know what the old man sold in his gourd, and he was still extremely anxious when he came. Why did he change it to no longer busy now?"

Zhang Shenyan touched his beard and smiled, but Hou Fangyu felt a chill on his back.
