- The Governor tremblingly took the oyster, put it to his nose, closed his eyes and smelled it, and said intoxicatedly: "It's this fishy smell oyster I've missed you for a long time"
Fang Xian had some evil thoughts in his mind and quickly shook his head to wave them away.
"My Lord Governor aren't oysters a very common aquatic product? We don't have them here?"
The Governor nodded calmly: "Not just here not anywhere! I even forgot when I had eaten it."
Fang Xian was stunned for a long time, thinking about this surreal setting.
He tried hard to recall that among the port trade items in Voyage 4, there were almost all kinds of meat, including firewood, rice, oil, salt, and meat. It seemed that oysters were the only one missing. Presumably because the trading cities were all seaports, oysters were so common that they were ignored.
¡°But it¡¯s really hard to grasp the roughness and delicacy of the old man, and the fact that Westerners love to eat oysters remains.
It turns out that this time, the neglect was not quite complete. His old Fang family is in the oyster aquaculture business!
Oysters are raw oysters. At that time, Chinese people did not like to eat them raw, but Westerners regarded them as treasures and liked the fishy smell. Of course, they also have one of the most critical functions-aphrodisiac.
The governor¡¯s tears told Fang Xian that this gentleman needs oysters very much!
The governor once again gave Fang Xian a loving expression, like a bar girl who had just received jewelry and was about to say - Tonight, I am yours.
Fang Xian quickly avoided the governor's gaze and looked at the sky with a grateful expression.
It seems that my settings are not useless! Is this the hidden setting for choosing "Aiping World"?
The governor continued to test: "Excuse me, your Excellency is there anything else"
Fang Xian was a little panicked. He was selling his oysters. This governor girl is too horny.
The governor seemed to see Fang Xian's anxiety and quickly waved his hand: "No, that's not what you meant. If you bring a lot of oysters, I can help you negotiate with the exchange and let you keep some oysters to cultivate here. This city can produce oysters. Of course, this is just my personal expectation. Whether to do so depends on your wishes."
"Is this possible?" Fang Xian asked in surprise.
"Of course." The governor was full of longing. "All port cities can produce oysters, as long as there are living oysters that can reproduce."
"How is the sales going?" As a businessman. Fang Xian instinctively asked directly.
"This" The governor hesitated for a moment, but then said truthfully, "To be honest. Only we Westerners like to eat raw oysters. People here seem to have little interest in oysters. It's really hard to understand."
Fang Xian then asked: "How many Westerners are there in a port city? I want to calculate the sales."
"This is a big fluctuation. In a small place like Jiadin, there are probably only a few dozen Westerners. In Jakarta and Malacca, there should be hundreds. But if you are willing to go far across the ocean, to Africa or even the Mediterranean"
The governor's eyes shone like 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 a long time!"
When Fang Xian heard this, he also had a flash of inspiration.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But tens of thousands of gold coins is really not a lot of money in the game.
? Follow the Governor¡¯s instructions. The best way is obviously to cultivate oysters in ports and then trade them.
Suppose that the Fang family navy brought live oysters to Lisbon, and then started to cultivate them here, and only cultivate them here, then Lisbon would become the only oyster producer in the Mediterranean and monopolize the trading rights of oysters here. Sold throughout Europe
There are many examples of this kind of thing.
The most well-known thing is probably pepper. In the Middle Ages, Venetian merchants and Genoese monopolized the pepper trade. In India, a small amount of the condiment was added to every meal. When it was brought to Europe, it became as good as gold.
¡°If we can achieve this level of oysters and achieve monopoly trade in the Mediterranean I am afraid it will no longer be a fantasy to be wealthy.
But thinking about it in the end, Fang Xian still sighed.
If you want to achieve monopoly trade, you still lack one condition, and that is cannons.
Even if the occupancy of a port is increased to 100%, making it impossible for others to trade here, there are still several ways to break this monopoly. Other forces can seize share by spreading rumors, bribing the governor, or even going to war and bombarding the port. If oysters can really be as expensive as gold, it¡¯s time to seize the power of the oyster trade.?There should be a lota lot.
Thinking of this, Fang Xian couldn't help but love and hate these oysters.
I love that it is valuable, but hate that it is too valuable
rashly developing oyster aquatic products is tantamount to putting a piece of fresh meat among the wolves. Other forces will definitely swarm in after smelling it. I am afraid that the Fang family will receive a cannon gift in advance before they make much money. .
If you want to make money with it, you must ensure the ability to defend it and build an invincible fleet.
This kind of fleet does not exist in theory. The closest thing to it is undoubtedly the fleet of all battleships with full firing cannons. The cost of such a fleet is almost tens of millions.
"Hey" Fang Xian sighed, "The pain, it's too painful, it's unbearable, it's too unbearable"
Although the governor is a Westerner by blood, he is very open-minded in thinking and really treats everyone equally. He seems to have noticed Fang Xian's distress and looks very depressed.
"Although I personally hope that you will disclose the cultivation and trade of oysters, I understand that you are a businessman." The Governor shook his head. "But I still want to selfishly remind you that sometimes, you should not be too greedy. Since you can lead Come to oysters, so obviously, there¡¯s got to be oysters somewhere.¡±
Fang Xian was suddenly startled, and the Fang family's hometown - Macau flashed in his mind!
The Governor reminded Fang Xian again.
The Qing Dynasty is currently closed to the outside world and does not engage in foreign trade, so only Fang Xian knows about the oysters for the time being.
"If you don't trade, the Westerners will force you to trade One day, fleets from various countries will sail into East Asia, and Yizhou and Macau will fall one by one. Once Macau falls into the hands of Westerners, the oysters will no longer be their exclusive possession, and this huge diamond will basically have nothing to do with them. The rest will be a battle for the fleets of various countries around Macau.
"Time waits for no one, time waits for no one" Fang Xian sighed, thinking about the ship full of cargo, and felt very regretful. Under the current situation, he no longer dared to dump oysters for a small amount of money. He would rather destroy all these oysters than let more people know about this thing.
The governor is really a smart guy. Seeing Fang Xian's appearance, he became even more frustrated.
Fang Xian hesitated for a while, then asked: "Mr. Governor, can I believe you?"! ~!
