Chapter 2143 Escorts traveling freely in continental Europe 1
"Deliver to the Principality of Bohemia under the Holy Roman Empire?"
Wang Xiyang looked at the shipping address and detailed cargo list provided by Gantian, and the map of Europe quickly emerged in his mind, and then immediately said: "No problem, we will deliver it on time."
"Thank you for your help."
Gantian quickly thanked him.
"This is what we should do. It should be our escort agency thanking you for giving us business."
Wang Xiyang smiled and returned the greeting.
Nanyang Wang's Trading Company originated from the Nanyang Province of Nanyang in the Ming Dynasty. When the Nanyang region was just included in the territory of the Ming Empire, there were a lot of pirates in the Nanyang region, and there were also a large number of barbarian natives.
In addition, many small countries and island countries in the Nanyang region lacked respect for the Ming Dynasty and often looted and blackmailed Ming merchants, which gave rise to the rise of the escort industry.
Mr. Wang, the founder of Nanyang Wang's Trading Company, relied on his martial arts skills and led a group of his disciples to establish this escort agency. It has a history of more than 30 years.
It has experienced many ups and downs over the past thirty years. Along with the development and expansion of the Ming Empire, it has also continued to make many adjustments.
From Nanyang to Tianzhu, Africa, Arabia and then to Europe, the business of the Escort Agency has spread all over the world, and it has gradually developed from a traditional Escort Agency into a global logistics firm.
Fighting and killing have gradually faded away, and there is rarely a need to use knives or guns anymore.
Because no one in the world dares to offend the Ming Dynasty, their escort agencies are rampant all over the world, and it is rare to encounter a stupid young man. Even if you do, you can basically get through if you pay some tolls. After all, the people in the escort agencies are basically
They are all good-looking people, so I can't reach out to hit the smiling man.
Instead of fighting and killing, more people are turning to the service and transportation fields. The logistics field is a very promising field, especially with the global expansion and foreign trade of the Ming Empire, logistics and transportation on a global scale are
An extremely huge industry.
In the past, many companies handled their own transportation because they did not trust others to transport their goods. However, now, specialized logistics service companies have slowly spawned, specializing in logistics services all over the world.
Logistics and transportation.
The first ones to transform into logistics and transportation were the escort agencies, large and small.
Wang Xiyang got the bill of lading from Tianjin Ocean Trading Company, and quickly sent people to the warehouse of Tianjin Ocean Trading Company to pick up the relevant goods.
Then the order was quickly submitted, and the escort agency also quickly assigned the order based on the order it received now, so as to maximize the benefits of this shipment.
For big customers like Tianjin Ocean Trading Company, they are the favorite for large orders, because the quantity of goods transported at one time is often very large, and the unit price is a bit low, but if there are other orders along the way, then
These are all very good lists from Lilan.
Naturally, priority was given to allocating resources for orders from big customers. In the afternoon of that day, several large cargo ships departed from Hong Kong, flying the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty and the flag of Nanyang Wang's Trading Company, all the way north along the English Channel and entering.
Baltic Sea.
The journey went very smoothly. Although they encountered English, French, and Spanish warships patrolling the waters of the English Channel, these warships did not care about the Ming Dynasty ships at all, and they did not dare to create any difficulties.
Nowadays, the ships of the Ming Dynasty are basically equipped with radio stations. Once something happens, they can immediately contact the Ming Navy through the radio station and request the Ming Navy for support.
Because the emergence of wireless telegraphy also made it easier for Ming ships to sail on the sea, even if something happened, nearby ships could go to the rescue as soon as possible.
In Western Europe, the Ming Empire has long stationed a powerful Ming Navy, which often patrols the English Channel, eliminates pirates, protects Ming ships, etc.
No one would be foolish enough to provoke the Ming people.
After arriving at the Baltic Sea, we also docked at the port of Rostock in the Holy Roman Empire.
The Port of Rostock is a very small fishing port, with a small port and a small wharf, which has brought certain troubles to Wang Xiyang's transportation team.
"This pier is too small, our cars can't even get off it."
Wang Xiyang got off the boat and looked at the small port and pier in front of him.
The Holy Roman Empire was really poor and backward, and this port and terminal was really terrible. Any port or terminal in the Ming Dynasty would be much better than it.
This also made Wang Xiyang's preparations seem a little inadequate. The ships that came over were too big, and these ships were not ordinary ships, but ships that transported large trucks.
Since cars began to appear, they have quickly become one of the most important means of transportation on land. After all, railways only exist in a few places, and most places still rely on cars for transportation.
Escort agencies are the largest in the field of logistics and transportation, and naturally they are also the first to use cars.
Using cars to transport goods has many benefits and advantages over traditional horse-drawn carriage.
First of all, the carrying capacity of cars is large. A carriage can only transport three or four thousand kilograms of goods at most. But a large truck is different. It can easily transport tens of thousands of kilograms of goods.
, and the truck has a larger space and can transport a lot of large goods.
Secondly, trucks are faster and carriages are pulled by horses, so their strength is always limited. When encountering some difficult areas or going uphill, it is often necessary to carry the goods down and load them up again.
But trucks are different. Especially in areas dominated by plains like Western Europe, truck transportation is extremely convenient and fast enough. It is completely impossible to cover hundreds or thousands of miles in a day.
Problem-solving and high efficiency.
Secondly, compared with walking or riding in a carriage, the escorts escorted by trucks will not be so tired. Once something happens, these escorts will have enough energy to deal with it.
Because of its many advantages, cars have also become the favorite of escort agencies. A large number of equipment are used in major escort agencies to shoulder the important task of escorting goods.
This time was no exception. Wang Xiyang directly arranged for a large ship to transport the trucks. There was no problem when boarding the ship, but now it is a bit difficult to get off the ship.
"Who are these people?"
Here in Rostock Port, many people from the Holy Roman Empire looked at several large ships, and then looked at these Ming people, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I don't even know this. These are people from the Ming Empire. If you see the flags flying on their ships, it is the flag of the Ming Empire."
"People from Ming Dynasty?"
"People from the Eastern Ming Dynasty?"
"What are they doing here with us?"
"Who knew, this is the first time I've seen such a big ship."
"Isn't it? It's much bigger than our fishing boats. It's a lot."
People in the port looked at these Ming people from the east with curiosity.
These Ming people wearing uniform uniforms are all tall and strong, with cold and stern faces. Looking at the equipment on their bodies, they are simply armed to the teeth.
The rifle, bow and arrow carried on the back, the Tang knife on the waist, and the uniform clothing on the body can clearly be seen with fish scale armor inside.
This equipment is much better than that of the local Grand Duke's personal guards. The key is the momentum and arrogance exuded by these Ming people. Even on the soil of this foreign country, these Ming people are still sharp and sharp, without any
Any appearance of convergence.
More and more people were watching the excitement, and everyone was constantly discussing as they watched.
The nobles and officials in Rostock were soon alerted, and they hurried over to inquire about the relevant situation. Wang Xiyang brought a translator, explained his purpose, and paid a tax as required.
"Everyone should hurry up and try to drive all our cars down before dark."
Wang Xiyang directed his men to get busy. The pier was not big enough, so he temporarily built a larger and stronger pier.
With money in hand, Wang Xiyang quickly hired a large number of local people to work for him. He transported the best wood and put a large amount of soil and sand into bags.
In less than an hour, a reinforced dock was built, the ship's cabin was opened, and soon trucks drove out of the cabin.
"What is this?"
"Such a big thing, it can actually move?"
When they saw the car driving out, everyone watching the excitement couldn't help but exclaimed.
Cars are very rare here, especially large trucks.
"It's too big, it's smoking, and there are people inside."
"What the hell is this?"
"Our lord seems to have a car, but the car is much smaller than this."
"My God, this thing looks very powerful. You see, it looks like it's loaded with cargo."
"Why are these Ming Dynasty things so big? This ship is also, and this strange machine is also so huge."
"Are these Ming people the same as in the legend, are they masters of magic?"
“It’s incredible!”
The numerous melon-eaters opened their mouths wide and looked at the big truck in front of them. This was the first time they had seen such a big thing, a behemoth that could move by itself.
Large trucks loaded with goods successfully disembarked from the ship. Wang Xiyang also breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up his watch again, looked at the time, and looked at the sun in the west.
I can finally find a place to have a good rest tonight, have a good sleep, and start my journey tomorrow.
